Hunting seasons start students express mixed feelings

The leaves are slowly changing colors the air is getting cooler and hunters are prepping their gear for their next hunt

Fall is here and with it brings the start of several hunting seasons

There have been many negative cases of hunting re-ported recently including the widely covered killing of well-known lion Cecil in Zimbabwe by an American tourist

With all the bad publicity it can be easy for one to as-sume hunting is bad and im-moral

There are still many who show strong support for hunting and what it entails

ldquoThere is a wide number of reasons why people hunt The traditional ones would fall into tradition so typically the way a lot of people enter into the fi ld of hunting is because their parents huntedrdquo David Krementz unit leader of the USGS Arkansas Cooperative

Fish and Wildlife Research Unit wildlife biologist for the federal government and UA professor said

ldquoAnother reason why a recent reason why is some people are concerned about where their food comes fromrdquo Krementz said ldquoPeo-ple want to obtain food items that are not of questionable originrdquo

Elizabeth Wilson hunter and UA student supported Krementzrsquos statements

ldquoIt is something that my family has always done It is a way that I spend time with my grandpa and my dadrdquo Wilson said

ldquoIt is a social thing but also we eat deer meat because itrsquos healthierrdquo she said

Wilsonrsquos family hunts of-ten and are always particular about following rules and regulations she said She also mentioned that just because the rules say you can kill a certain number of animals does not mean you have to meet that number

ldquoI do not condone hunting and being wasteful with it I do not think you should kill an animal unless you are go-

ing to use meatrdquo Wilson said Regulations to prevent

over harvest of animals and population is hard to connect like many would think would be possible Krementz said

ldquoIt is not always easy to prove that there is a strong relationship with population levels going up and down and the regulation of harvestrdquo Krementz said

ldquoI work a lot on migratory birds We know more about mallards than any other bird on the face of the planetrdquo Krementz said

ldquoWe spent millions of dol-lars and untold thousands of hours trying to figu e out what the relationship is with setting harvest regulations and what the populations are and I would say at this point and time we still are not clearrdquo Krementz said

Urbanization can be a fac-tor towards the negative con-notation of hunting as well

ldquoIf you look at the average citizen of the United States they do not have a problem with hunting as long as it is pursued in fair chaserdquo Kre-mentz said

ldquoThe last 50 years that

whole opinion is changing because the average citizen lives in an urban situation nowrdquo he said

ldquoPeople in the cities have become disentangled from the natural environment so they do not really understand

whatrsquos going on thererdquo Kre-mentz said

There were 246 more li-quor law violations in 2014 than in 2013 according to the annual Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Se-curity Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Report re-leased to all students and faculty Oct 1

The Clery Report in-cludes statistics for crimes reported on campus on property near campus and at off-campus buildings owned by the UofA The report also includes institutional policies concerning campus security such as alcohol drug use and sexual assault policies crime prevention methods and crime report-ing procedures according to the UAPD website

The most common crime that occurs at the UofA is li-quor law violations accord-ing to the report

Violators broke state or local alcohol laws prohibit-ing the manufacture sale or possession of alcoholic beverages which includes minors in possession of al-cohol

Liquor violations do not

include public intoxication or driving under the influ-ence Capt Gary Crain of UAPD said

ldquoViolations are not ar-restsrdquo Crain said ldquoViola-tions are usually from resi-dent assistants referring UAPD to people in their halls who have been caught drinkingrdquo

Liquor law violations oc-curred 719 times in the 2014 school year and 689 of those violations occurred in resi-dential buildings including Greek houses and residence halls according to the re-port

ldquoI donrsquot think thatrsquos really that accuraterdquo sophomore Megan Kirk said ldquoTherersquos a lot of crime that occurs at the UofA thatrsquos unreported I think police just discov-ered more in 2014rdquo

Crain said he agreesldquoI donrsquot think more

people are violating liquor lawsrdquo Crain said ldquoI think more people are getting caughtrdquo

A federal judge ruled that Planned Parenthood will still receive funding despite alle-gations of illegal activity but many students remain divided on the issue

ldquoPlanned Parenthood in its current form is not a neces-sityrdquo said senior Cody John-son vice president of the Pre-Law Society ldquoPersonally I see

the need for the health and reproductive education that Planned Parenthood provides but venturing beyond those functions should not be the governmentrsquos prerogativerdquo

Controversy surrounding the organization began when videos surfaced of Planned Parenthood offi als debat-ing fetal tissue prices How the videos were produced and manipulated remains a mys-tery but people remain suspi-cious

Arkansas responded by trying to cut funding to the organization but three people sued and won which means they will continue to receive Medicaid benefits through Planned Parenthood

ldquoItrsquos frustrating to have government offi als in Ar-kansas actively pursue action that hurts constituentsrdquo said junior Aisling Thornton pres-ident of Students for Gender Equality a student organiza-tion affiliated with Planned

Parenthood of the Heartland located in Fayetteville

Positions are available for students who wish to become campus bus drivers a Transit and Parking odeg cial said

Students who are interest-ed in a position are encour-aged to yuml ll out the online ap-plication said Barry Schiller transit operations supervisor Along with the application students should include a reacute-sumeacute

ldquoIrsquom glad that the uni-versity is allowing students to have this kind of oppor-tunityrdquo freshman Krisenda Henderson said ldquoA lot of on-campus jobs donrsquot o er very much exibility or an inter-esting work environment and I think this job does Itrsquos better for students to like their jobsrdquo

Once the preliminary documents have been re-ceived potential drivers will go through an interview pro-cess he said Students will be interviewed by two or three

professionals from Transit and Parking

ldquo˙ e process isnrsquot compli-cated but there are a lot of steps to get through before you can get the jobrdquo Schiller said

Applicants will then par-ticipate in a drug screen-ing and background check Schiller said ˙ e results of the tests narrow down the number of candidates who will move on in the hiring process

˙ e remaining applicants will enter job training a er a clean drug test and back-ground check are received Schiller said Training in-cludes preparing for the com-mercial driverrsquos license test bus familiarity training air brake testing and pre-route bus inspections he said

Candidates will be taken on test drives at Baum Sta-dium and on roads with low tradeg c ˙ en they will drive the UA bus routes a er they have memorized them Schil-ler said

Student drivers will be judged on several driving

criteria such as railroad in-tersection and parking pro-cedures Examiners have all passed the tests they will be proctoring and they are cer-tiyuml ed by the state of Arkan-sas he said ˙ e UofA is also a state-certiyuml ed testing center for this process he said

Once training is complete passing applicants will be hired Schiller said Getting hired can take up to yuml ve weeks because of the time it takes to get the results of a candidatersquos back-ground check he said

To be considered for the po-sition students must have no criminal record Schiller said A commercial driverrsquos license is not needed when applying because the test is part of the training

During training students will be paid $9 an hour and the pay rate will increase once the driver has completed train-ing Schiller said Once they are hired students can work as many hours as they wish

ldquoWe will be very exible with the schedulerdquo Schiller said ldquoWe donrsquot want to keep them from their studies or classes so

we will work with them indi-viduallyrdquo

Transit odeg cials are ad-vertising the positions on-line and with posters around campus Driving a bus would be a great job for UA stu-dents Schiller said

ldquo˙ e job is perfect for stu-dents because itrsquos right on campusrdquo Schiller said ldquoItrsquos one of the better paying cam-pus jobs and you get to meet a lot of people you wouldnrsquot ordinarily meet Itrsquos a great opportunity to make some extra moneyrdquo

A beneyuml t of becoming a campus driver is that students will obtain a commercial driverrsquos license Schiller said ˙ e license allows individu-als to drive heavy vehicles or vehicles that tow transport trailers Having this type of license can beneyuml t some stu-dents when applying for fu-ture jobs he said

Applications will remain open until Transit odeg cials are no longer in need of drivers Schiller said ˙ e application can be found on the Career Development Center website

Residentsrsquo Interhall Con-gress members initiated a climate change program as-sociated with the nationwide Know Tomorrow campaign to educate students about climate change and RICrsquos initiatives to create a sustainable environ-ment on campus

Know Tomorrow is about spurring students to action said Kenneth Hamilton RIC director of sustainability Know Tomorrow is a national non-proyuml t organization that was cre-ated to push students on college campuses across the country to show that students of this generation care about climate change

Odeg cials launched the cam-paign at the UofA Oct 2 which was the same launch day for campaigns at other schools across the country Hamilton said

RIC odeg cials partnered with Associated Student Govern-ment International Culture Team RecycleBacks the Stu-dent Sustainability Club and the Fayetteville Citizens Cli-mate Lobby to educate students about climate change and its ef-fects on society

At each event students are encouraged to take pictures of themselves holding signs that show how they will be more green Hamilton said Students can also sign a petition that will be sent to President Barack Obama and the United Nations when the organization meets in December to discuss climate change

ldquoWe have to think of sus-

tainability like hygiene where we are just supposed to do itrdquo Hamilton said ldquoOur grandpar-ents did not care about climate change our parents didnrsquot care about it but we are the genera-tion that will have to deal with the consequences of itrdquo

Know Tomorrow is about taking responsibility for a prob-lem students cannot ignore While UA odeg cials strive to pro-duce a green campus progress is slow Hamilton said How-ever RIC and campus sustain-ability programs have begun to make ldquobig stridesrdquo he said

˙ e residence hall recycling program has placed recycling bins on every oor of every res-

idence hall ˙ is program has collected 1000 pounds of waste since last year Hamilton said As a result the UofA ranked fourth in Pepsirsquos national colle-giate recycling competition

Additionally Bike Fix-It sta-tions promote the use of bikes around campus rather than motor transportation ˙ ose stations help decrease tradeg c on campus and reduce carbon di-oxide emissions

Among other programs Hamiltonrsquos RIC committee also organizes the Recyclemania and Campus Conservation Na-tionals competitions in addi-tion to campus cleanup projects every semester

Students helped to build a viewing pavilion and an interactive exhibit for the Frank Lloyd Wright House at Crystal Bridges and it will be open to the public Nov 11 said the public relations man-ager at Crystal Bridges

Crystal Bridges partnered with the Fay Jones School of Architecture in the de-sign and construction of the welcome pavilion which is a structure that serves as an entryway to the site of the Frank Lloyd Wright House said Beth Bobbitt the public relations manager at Crystal Bridges

Students in the design and fabrication program com-pleted the assembly and built the structure on the museum grounds in 2014 Bobbitt said

˜ e pavilion will feature information on Frank Lloyd Wright several of his build-ings and Usonian architec-ture she said

Students also built a model of the house that is in the museumrsquos south lobby Crystal Bridges and the UA Libraries Special Collec-tion created a digital exhibi-tion that explores the lives and connections between Fay Jones and Frank Lloyd Wright Bobbitt said

ldquo˜ e goal for it is to create an authentic experience by integrating the house into the natural landscape so it feels like it has always been hererdquo she said

˜ e house was originally built for Gloria Bachman

and Abraham Wilson in 1954 along the Millstone River in New Jersey An architect and designer team Lawrence and Sharon Trantino bought and restored the house in 1988 Bobbitt said

Constant ooding threat-ened the structure so the owners decided to give it to an institution willing to relocate it Adeg er searching for multiple years Crystal Bridges acquired the house in 2013 she said

˜ e entire structure was then taken apart and each component was labeled packed and loaded into two trucks provided by JB Hunt for transportation to the Crys-tal Bridges Bobbitt said

ldquoWe put great e ort into upholding Frank Lloyd Wrightrsquos design principlesrdquo she said ldquoHe believed in connect-ing physically and spiritually to the natural world through the use of horizontal lines that ground the structure into the landscape and dissolve the barrier between the interior and exteriorrdquo

A Southwestern Electric Power Company pole failure caused the outage Media Re-lations Manager Steve Voor-hies said

Most buildings on campus regained power around 730 pm last night UAPD Capt Gary Crain said

Crain confi med that a squirrel caused the outage

ldquoA squirrel got into the boxrdquo Crain said ldquoIt shorted out everything in that boxrdquo

Crain said this happens ev-ery couple of years

ldquoThey get into transform-ers and power boxes and when they do therersquos nothing left ut charcoalrdquo Crain said

Police and repair workers were stationed on the corner of Whiteside Drive and Dick-son Street where they think the outage originated

The power outage went down Dickson Street and up Maple Street fi efi hter Justin Clark said

Firefi hters responded to

reports of people stuck in ele-vators in Old Main and Hum-phreys Hall but did not know about the power outage until they arrived on the scene Clark said

ldquoProblem is with no pow-er I canrsquot move the thingrdquo said Chris Reed an Otis elevator company worker who came to Old Main

All elevators on campus were quickly cleared Crain said

ldquoWe were stuck in there for about 20 minutesrdquo said fresh-man Maddie Mallery who was stuck in a Humphreys el-evator

October to bring out basic tendencies in Fayetteville

As I was standing in line for Starbucks a few days ago I heard an interesting exchange of words between two friends

It went something along the lines of ldquoLike OMG Jes-sica the pumpkin spice latte is back itrsquos literally the best day ever Like wow ˜ is is literally like more important than anything like my life is maderdquo

Listening to this conversa-tion I thought back to a meme I had seen on Reddit a few days ago ˜ e caption read ldquoBrace yourself October is comingrdquo At the time I did not fully understand the meme I thought it was referring to colder weather but it was not October is dideg erent from ev-ery other month in one very distinct way- October is the month of the basic girls

Every basic girl you know loves to interject three things in any conversation you have with her e yuml rst is something

about Starbucks and the sec-ond is something about how totally ldquosmashedrdquo she got last night at that one frat house ˜ e third is less of a speciyuml c thing and more the inappro-priate addition of the word lit-erally before something thatrsquos not really literal ˜ e month of October takes these topics and escalates them exponen-tially

Starbucks brings back their pumpkin spice latte in the month of October To anyone with an IQ higher than that of a piece of bread the news of a new avor of latte at Starbucks would not be of any impor-tance However basic girls feed odeg this news ˜ ey feel they must tell everyone of this news because it is literally the only piece of news they have heard and it has to do with Starbucks

Burnettrsquos is every basic girlsrsquo drink of choice Because Burnettrsquos knows the type of au-dience they are selling to they made one of the smartest de-cisions on the planet pump-kin spice avored Burnettrsquos I

know you may be throwing up in your mouth right now but this vodka is what fuels basic-ness through the entire month of October It also fuels a lot of vomit that ends up outside of peoplersquos mouths

Halloween is on Oct 31 Besides Kwanzaa Halloween is literally every basic girls favorite holiday Halloween is a special time of the year be-cause you can be both slutty and culturally insensitive without being judged ˜ is is big news for basic girls every-where because they love being both of those things

˜ e weather gets a little bit chillier in the month of octo-ber For me that is a bummer but for basic bitches that is equivalent to like four venti pumpkin spice lattes Cold-er weather means dressing warmer and dressing warmer means Uggs and leggings ˜ e yuml rst day the weather drops below 65 degrees a basic girls closet changes from norts and t-shirts to Uggs and leggings and oversized Patagonias

˜ e cooler weather of Oc-

tober also kicks odeg ldquocu ng seasonrdquo wherein the increased necessity of spending time indoors causes normally pro-miscuous people to feel the crushing loneliness caused by watching Net ix with no sig-niyuml cant other ˜ ey then wish they were ldquocudeg edrdquo or tied down by a serious relation-ship

October is a month full of fascinating transitions ˜ e weather becomes a little bit colder and the leaves begin to change colors As the leaves change normal collegiate women change too Some girls stay unadeg ected but oth-ers canrsquot help being sucked into the void of basic-ness As more foods and drinks are in-fused with pumpkin avored syrups more and more girls are infused with a basic state of mind Brace yourselves Ra-zorbacks October is here

Whatsgoodly app fosters campus conversation kind of

Over the past few weeks one particular new app has been able to capture the polling acumen of students all around campus Whatsgoodly an app developed by fraternity students at Stanford Univer-sity last year allows users to anonymously post polls in which other users can cast votes ˜ e purpose of the app is to produce public opinion on certain contentious topics that people wouldnrsquot post on their social media publicly ˜ e silent majority is Whatgoodlyrsquos target audience

Most of the polling done from Whatsgoodly is focused on ranking Greek life in some form Questions abound as to which houses are the best at any number of things from

where to party to where to watch the game--though sci-ence has little to say about the actual dideg erence in these two things

A er the Hogs faced odeg against Alabama last Saturday talk of the game was rampant on the app As always the Razorbacks were able to give we the faithful just enough hope that a vic-tory could be eked out and then reality came and hit us back

˜ e top game related poll read ldquoWhat should I do a er that gamerdquo No clear-cut winner could be decided as respondents to the poll felt it was equally time to ldquodrinkrdquo and ldquobe real it wasnrsquot that surprisingrdquo

Whatsgoodly also serves as an outlet for students to voice their problems with a pesky roommate or friend

49 of respondents in a poll about common room-mate annoyances noted their roommates ldquoleave their studeg all over the roomrdquo

Coming up this week midterms are set to be the bane of existence to many students on campus ˜ e lack of sleep and over ow of stress in this instance has caused one particular student to voice their concerns in the form of a Whatsgoodly poll ldquoAre you go-ing to pass your midterms this weekrdquo it reads

47 of respondents report that they have no way of pass-ing their midterms while an-other 24 of the student body represented by Whatsgoodly believes theyrsquore likely to pass but owe that success to the study drug Adderall A poll seeking information on what percent of UA students are actually prescribed the drug

remains relatively unanswered as of press time

Although it seems that the app is mainly dominated by non-critical questions regard-ing girls sports or Greek life the concept of the app itself holds real merit Instead of the same old rankings of sororities or a poll exclaiming that a de-rogatory word precede before Pike real applications could come from the app Students could gauge how hard a test was or yuml nd out which particu-lar party on campus was ldquopop-pinrsquordquo that night Whatsgoodly may not be able to be a voice for all students on campus but it could be a useful feature in driving student opinion and gauging interest for all

Being trapped in a two dimensional worldHow curating our identities online can cause us to miss whatrsquos real

Wersquore all aware that a picture is worth a thousand words but a real object is worth an inyuml nite amount of pictures Given that three-di-mensional objects consist of an inyuml nite amount of planes itrsquos technically impossible to fully represent that ob-ject with a two-dimensional image But taking a stroll through the photo albums of your friends makes it appar-ent that this near-impossible feat has been attempted

What is the purpose of tak-ing all these pictures People are armed with smartphones many of which have a quick-swipe method of immediately accessing the camera ready to shoot any novelty that may emerge in their sight I donrsquot think the purpose is to re-

member Since you canrsquot real-ly watch and aim the camera at the same time itrsquos probable that yoursquore watching what-ever it is through the medium of the viewyuml nder So much is lost in this two dimensional by-product Whatever mem-ory you create even though itrsquos permanent is smaller than life

I think itrsquos a lot easier to construct a reality from pic-tures given that they are a two-dimensional slice of an inyuml nitely dense context Mi-chelle Orange puts her yuml nger on it when she says ldquoItrsquos more about representing a certain reality than remembering it although looking through carefully curated Facebook albums one o en senses the longing of the subject to re-member herself the way she would have others dordquo

˜ e point isnrsquot necessary to tell half-truths to others

but to create truths for our-selves We are able to take a million photos of our life and then hand select a few of them a erwards By doing this we create our own nar-rative Itrsquos not like the photos are lies but they have been taken out of their context and re-strung together in the ways that we choose ˜ e awkward and boring moments between them that werenrsquot photo-graphed donrsquot have to be in-cluded

Given the centrality of so-cial networking in our lives wersquove been able to turn these uncaptured moments into hearsay If itrsquos not recorded then it didnrsquot necessarily happen ˜ is has proven to be extremely useful for us in brushing aside moments that donrsquot yuml t nicely into the real-ity wersquove constructed for our-selves But it goes both ways ˜ is process has turned into a

source of anxiety for us be-cause if something happens that we would like to incor-porate into this digital self-image it has to be captured to be of use We are the curators of our own life gallery a task that requires indeyuml nite atten-tion

˜ is is not meant to be a pessimistic indictment of our generationrsquos identity games Only in extreme cases do people feel the need to com-pletely construct themselves into their ideal silhouettes But we must always be wary of mistaking the map for the territory Even the most pro-digiously adorned proyuml le only scratches the surface of the three-dimensional human being behind it

Columbus Day˜ e holiday set to expire

Monday was Columbus Day I did not know it was Columbus Day until the end which shows you how much importance I place on Co-lumbus Day I do not care that it happened and I only care that I found out I missed it because it provided me with something to have an opinion on

Columbus may or may not have actually found America and even if he did he was only American in the sense that he came onto someone elsersquos land and immediately claimed it as his own declared it needed saving and then went about angering all the locals who were blissfully unaware they needed so much help

I do not know if Columbus arrived on the Santa Maria the El Nino or the third ship but I hope he didnrsquot bring all three ships the yuml rst time he went exploring because it would seem counterintuitive to put hundreds of human beings on boats and then sail into the blue beyond without an itinerary

Celebrating Columbus Day is like celebrating a day called ldquoInciting Incident Dayrdquo where you celebrate a thing done by a person that gave another thing the possibility of existence many hundreds of years later ˜ e America established on July 4 1776 had little to do with Colum-bus other than that he acci-dentally stumbled onto a very nice piece of land

If we want to keep cel-ebrating Columbus Day we should institute a ldquoBig Bang Dayrdquo where we celebrate the creation of the Universe as the event that would one day al-low all of us to exist

˜ erersquos an interesting shi happening where local gov-ernments and even entire states have been pushing to rebrand Columbus Day as In-digenous Peoples Day

On Monday here on cam-pus a key to the city of Fay-etteville was presented to Nobel Peace Prize laureate Rigoberta Menchu who cam-

paigns for the rights of indige-nous peoples across the world Her work in indigenous and womenrsquos rights and cultural reconciliation make Menchu a yuml tting yuml gure to hold a key to our wonderful city

˜ e move to rebrand Co-lumbus Day is one that I am in no way opposed to It seems yuml tting actually to give a single day of the 365 available to us to celebrate the entire popula-tion who lived on this conti-nent before it was discovered colonized ravaged by disease converted to Christianity and nearly wiped of budeg alo which would be the absolute pinna-cle of shame

I donrsquot know how many of you have seen a budeg alo in person but they are immense majestic creatures with a right to live as important as ours ˜ ey are nothing like cattle and should be turned into neither burgers nor chaps for bikers ˜ ey carry in their chests the spirit of the old world One look into their eyes and you can feel a free-dom lost on modernity cours-ing through your veins

Indigenous Peoples Day would be more appropriate than Inciting Incident Day in that it would give needed credence to a group of people who are almost entirely mar-ginalized in America today

America once it was actu-ally America took notice that there had been people here before this piece of land be-came the greatest piece of land on earth and so we gave to those people relatively small sections of said land stepped back and said ldquowow this is perfect reconciliatory action for forcing your peoplersquos mi-gration you may have this square of land and the ability to build casinos upon itrdquo

I support entirely the move to rebrand Columbus Day ˜ ough I know little about Columbus I can see how one might view his land-ing in what would someday be America as the veritable beginning of some sort of cultural genocide where the rights and wishes of an entire people were trampled under the foot of the white man like a herd of budeg alo before a thunderstorm

ldquoMaking the Travelerrsquos Journey Worthwhilerdquo

Meat-eating on campus is often limited to chicken strips hamburgers and the occasional pork chop

Aside from a rare plate of venison or fish Fayetteville restaurants serve mostly the same types of meat How-ever not a single one of these American staples can be found on the menu of Fayettevillersquos newest eatery Herb-n-Elk

Created by Nomads Mu-sic Lounge owners Jeremy Brown and Brittany Cusanek the restaurant specializes in atypical meats like crawfish and elk Cusanek hopes to serve bison and catfish in the future she said

ldquoMy thought was that wersquore in Arkansas so letrsquos pull from what naturally would be liv-ing here what you would go out and hunt if you had to go get it yourselfrdquo Cusanek said

The menursquos originality has several health benefits All of Herb-n-Elkrsquos dishes are at least partially organic and

wholly sustainable Cusanek said

ldquoYou think about all the other restaurants and what theyrsquore serving these three meat options and theyrsquore very highly processed factory farmedrdquo Cusanek said ldquoAnd so wersquore trying to get away from thatrdquo

The restaurantrsquos elk meat comes from a certifi d or-ganic farm in Kansas Brown said The meat is not over-processed like chicken and beef can often be because the USDA has imposed stricter regulations for organic meats like elk and bison

Herb-n-Elkrsquos grand open-ing was Oct 2 but the res-taurant was open for about a week before that ldquojust to kind of work out the kinks and see where we need to berdquo Brown said

The grand opening was successful but since then business has been a bit slow Cusanek said The restaurant is tucked into the back cor-ner of the Metro District on Spring Street so it can be hard to fi d especially because the business is new and not well-known Cusanek said

ldquoAnd we donrsquot want to blow uprdquo Brown said ldquoA lot of places will have too much PR about their grand opening and then they crash because they didnrsquot do it right hellip We just want to do it right the fi st timerdquo

ldquoDoing it rightrdquo is defi-nitely a priority for Herb-n-Elkrsquos owners All of the food is made in small batches from fresh and locally-sourced in-gredients

If the kitchen sells out of a certain ingredient or meal itrsquos out for the night because they donrsquot over-process food Brown said

ldquoWersquore having a dinner party every night and yoursquove got to be the fi st to get hererdquo Cusanek said

The inspiration for the res-taurant came from a trip that Cusanek and Brown took to Colorado over the summer While they were there they ate a delicious elk burger that made them start thinking about the possibilities for a special restaurant in Fayette-ville Cusanek said

Brown is inspired by chefs like Jamie Oliver and others ldquowho are trying to expose

food educationrdquo he said ldquoIt doesnrsquot have to be fried and it doesnrsquot have to be full of GMOs and fake ingredientsrdquo

However the restaurant is about more than just pro-moting a healthy diet Herb-n-Elkrsquos menu is proof that Brown and Cusanek are seri-ous about boosting other lo-cal businesses Several local beers are on tap representing Columbus House Brewery Apple Blossom Brewing Co and Ozark Beer Company Brown said The Bourbon Rose cocktail features tea from Alchemy Macarons Also on tap there are brews from Missouri Oklahoma and Colorado Brown said

Herb-n-Elkrsquos menu fea-tures several vegetarian meals like beet sliders Sriracha

hummus and salads as well as comfort foods like hush puppies an elk meatloaf and burger and crawfish pasta Cusanek said that she often puts crawfish where lobster would usually be and elk where a dish would normally feature beef She said she is toying with the idea of bison meatballs

Along with such an in-triguing menu comes appre-hension from customers

Brown said that 12 cus-tomers came in during Bikes Blues amp BBQ and were disap-pointed that a regular ham-burger wasnrsquot on the menu In the end they were unwilling to try the elk burger and they left ithout eating

ldquoPeople are a little bit hesi-tant because theyrsquore so used

to beefrdquo Cusanek said ldquoThey know they like it so they stick with itrdquo

Students had strong opin-ions about Herb-n-Elkrsquos menu

ldquoTherersquos no way I would put that in my mouthrdquo soph-omore Natalie Oliver said

Others were more willing to try new things

ldquoIt sounds gross but I would be willing to try itrdquo ju-nior Megan Grajeda said

Herb-n-Elkrsquos owners are counting on this open-mind-edness Their goal is to edu-cate people about sustainable health-conscious food so that obesity and other health is-sues can be eradicated

ldquoYou donrsquot know if you like something unless yoursquove tried itrdquo Cusanek said

New Restaurant Serves Elk Crawfish Entrees

Fayetteville has given rise to a trending local band that has begun to turn the heads and capture the attention of students and music lovers alike The bandrsquos unortho-dox origin began only a few months ago

Renfrowrsquos members met at a local studio under the same producer and quickly decided to pursue the shared dream of playing and producing music as a band

ldquoWe are passionate about itrdquo Hayden Renfrow lead vo-calist and guitarist said ldquoWe all had our sights set on a mu-sic career and we love doing itrdquo

The band brings an inter-esting dynamic with mem-bers all under the age of 25

ldquoWe are young but that does not mean we are not goodrdquo Hayden Renfrow said

Renfrow consists of four members Hayden Renfrow 21 Reagan Renfrow 16 Gar-rison Burgess 19 and recent UA graduate Dave Matthews 23 Hayden Renfrow attended the university before drop-ping out to engage the music industry

Burgess also attended the UofA studying music educa-tion before joining the band full time Hayden and Rea-gan the bandrsquos bass guitarist are also brothers

ldquoI would rather put time and effort into a music career because that is what I know I want to dordquo Renfrow said

All four members live to-

gether and practice in their house in Bentonville

They were able to convert their living room into a music room allowing them plenty of space to practice with the full band Hayden Renfrow said

Renfrow has also used the Fellowship Bible Church re-hearsal room to gain a better feel for how live shows will actually work

The band is occasionally accompanied on stage by the Renfrowrsquos sister Hayley Ren-frow who fills the backup vo-cals and plays the piano

Renfrow recently played its fi st small gig at a Fayette-ville coffee shop Mama Car-menrsquos on College Avenue The bar was filled with eager fans and locals who enjoyed the music and liveliness of the band

ldquoThe band had impressive talent they covered songs very well and made you want to stay and listen morerdquo freshman William Votsmeir said

The band has already ex-perienced several challeng-es since its beginning five months ago

It was important for the band to work things out and establish unity and share a common vision and goal the members said

Also having a high school student as a band member makes things interesting Hayden Renfrow said that he may be 16 but he acts like a 21 year old most of the time

Renfrow has taken on the identity and genre of a singer-songwriter and blues and is comparable to John Mayer

and Ben Rector who is an-other rising music star and alumnus of the UofA

ldquoThey donrsquot have a weak player at any instrumentrdquo sophomore Daniel Matthews said ldquoI really enjoyed their songs they perform liverdquo

Dave Matthews backup electric guitarist for Renfrow said ldquoIt has given me not only friends to play music with

but friends who know me and support and encourage merdquo

Renfrowrsquos music can be found on iTunes Spotify and Amazon

Upon release of their fi st album Renfrowrsquos fi st EP ldquoSailsrdquo already reached the top 10 on singer-songwriter genres on iTunes

Renfrow said they will re-main in northwest Arkansas

for now however they have aspirations of one day mov-ing to Nashville Tennessee or Los Angeles

The band plans to raise money and establish a fi m fan base here in Fayetteville before leaving Renfrow said they have the skill to do it and they know what it takes to make it in the music industry All they have to do is put in the work and effort

Renfrow will return to per-form a free show at Mama Carmenrsquos Thursday evening Renfrow will also play a Ben-efit Concert at the UofA for the Rwanda Release

More information about the band can be found on its website at renfrowmusiccom Anyone interested can also fol-low Renfrow on Instagram and Twitter at Renfrowmusic

Brendon Glidden wiped a bead of sweat from his upper brow and nervously took a sip of water A million thoughts went through his head as he stepped up to the counter

Donrsquot screw this up Ten minutes on the clock to brew this cup You got this

Glidden a certifi d barista and head of research and de-velopment for Onyx Coffee Lab in Fayetteville attended the Specialty Coffee Associa-tion of America Event ndash or the ldquoSCAA Eventrdquo as the competi-tors call it ndash in Seattle last year He left the rest of his team at SCAA to compete at the third annual United States Aero-Press Championship

The AeroPress a manual coffee brewer more common in Europe than in the United States brews coffee in 20-40 seconds according to the of-fic al AeroPress website As Glidden explained the brewer is not that big of a deal in the US but it has its own follow-ing

In this bracket-style com-petition Glidden had to cre-ate a simple recipe using the coffee the competition panel provide the perfect tempera-ture ratio of water and pres-sure and from there brew the best cup of coffee

Before the competition Glidden created a simple rec-ipe for a collaboration he had worked on with retail com-pany Fayettechill He crafted the recipe to brew coffee while camping and it did not re-quire fancy tools but instead translated into scoops

ldquo(At Onyx) we would never measure in scoops It is wildly inaccuraterdquo Glidden said ldquoBut that recipe is exactly what I used in the competi-tionrdquo

Upon his arrival to the United States AeroPress Championship Gliddenrsquos nerves caught up to him While the other participants indulged in the beer provided by vendors Glidden stuck to water

ldquoThere I was by myself in a room full of people mdash people Irsquod heard of and I knew had done wellrdquo he said ldquoI was ner-vous and alone hoping Irsquod do well toordquo

Itrsquos super simple to do just replicate your recipe here Donrsquot screw this up

Glidden 23 moved to Fayetteville from Fort Smith in 2012 with an associatersquos degree in computer-aided drafting and design and a goal to work for Pixar which he abandoned because it was too stressful he said

He also had three years of experience working at Sweet Bay Coffee Co in Fort Smith

ldquoInitially the job was just fun I wasnrsquot really into coffee I could have just worked at a smoothie shop and had the same level of interestrdquo he said

He started working at Onyx in Fayetteville in sum-mer 2013 and during his time

there learned he does not just brew coffee he crafts t

ldquoI didnrsquot know pour-over coffee existed I didnrsquot know good coffee until I fully dis-covered that coffee is a craftrdquo he said ldquoThat was after I ab-sorbed the industry It was in-credibly eye-openingrdquo

Because he had never com-peted before he practiced in Fayetteville with his own tools ndash one being a Refractometer a $500 device that measures the impurities in water ndash and coffee The contest supplied the brand of coffee to every competitor on the West Coast but because Glidden was com-ing from Arkansas he was not able to practice with it In-stead he had to fi d a similar type of coffee to practice with

He showed up to the event which was about two miles away from SCAA and as-sumed there would be a prac-tice round to see how it would be run There was not but the judges allowed Glidden and a few other baristas from out of town to practice And then the competition began

With their names written on the bottoms of their cups no one ndash not even the judges ndash knew which cup was which By the end of the fi st round the judges had blindly tasted each cup counted to three and pointed unanimously to a cup in front of them

ldquoI thought I was out I thought lsquoYep thatrsquos it Irsquom done Irsquom out of my leaguersquordquo and then I found out the cup was mine and I was moving on to the next roundrdquo Glidden said ldquoBy the last round it was comfortable because the three of us knew we were placing We had made itrdquo

Glidden ended up winning second place met Alan Adler inventor of the AeroPress and scored many coffee-associat-ed prizes as well as fame for Onyx Glidden and the two other winners Andrew Bet-tis in third place and Jeremy Moore in fi st came from the South Bettis and Moore came from Tennessee

ldquoUsually in that coffee culture you expect (the win-ners) to live on the coast somewhere where the coffee is more of a thingrdquo Glidden said with a playful smirk on his face ldquoWe killed all these West Coast guysrdquo

Onyx is the only shop in town with ldquolabrdquo in its title in Fayetteville and for good rea-son too There is more science to brewing the perfect cup of coffee than one might think

ldquoAt times it seems obnox-ious just to get a cup of cof-fee but it all mattersrdquo Glidden said ldquoSome of it is way too science-yrdquo he said as he went on to talk about pH levels in water

Glidden works the bar at Onyx two days a week but he is a full-time employee He focuses a good amount of his time on coming up with new concoctions for the seasonal drink menu for which he cre-ated his proudest achievement thus far the award-winning Srsquomores Gibraltar Th s drink has been featured on various coffee blogs and websites as well as magazines around Ar-kansas

Dylan Siemens head baris-ta trainer at Onyx has worked with Glidden for two years

ldquoBrendon is a really en-thusiastic and creative person about really all things coffeerdquo

Siemens said ldquoWe both are good for pushing each other to the next level of being a baristardquo

Along with his barista job Glidden is head of research and development for Onyx which includes organizing and creating the seasonal menus He also leads and teaches public classes and events such as coffee brewing and latte art at Whole Foods and the Little Craft Show in Fayetteville He also brews the Nitro Cold Brew at the Onyx warehouse where he brewed about 500 gallons of it this past summer

ldquoHad you asked me last year if I thought Irsquod be doing research and development for the shop I would say lsquono Irsquoll be making drinks like every-one elsersquo I didnrsquot see myself here everrdquo he said

When not compet-ing nationally Glidden and the Onyx team hold ldquoOnyx Th owdownrdquo events which consist of a block-party atmo-sphere in the shop Local ven-dors neighboring shops and customers come to the shop for a latte-art competition where those competing buy-in for $5 and the winner gets ldquothe money and the bragging rightsrdquo Glidden said

Glidden plans on attending this yearrsquos US Brewerrsquos Cup a performance-based competi-tion that ldquorecognizes and cel-ebrates the art of manual cof-fee brewingrdquo according to the website

ldquoTh s is my career Coffee is itrdquo he said ldquoIrsquom not sure where Irsquoll be year-by-year whether itrsquos working with farms in different countries or what but Irsquom defin tely work-ing on planning future tripsrdquo

An Ozark Mountain stu-dent retreat camp is under construction 40 miles east of Fayetteville

Rick Bailey who graduated from the UofA with a degree in mechanical engineering in the 1970s is constructing this camp on a plot of land located atop a mountain in Madison County A er spending 30 years in the oil and engineer-ing industry Bailey said he felt led to exit the business world and begin investing in peoplersquos lives

ldquoI knew I was too old to be hired by Kanakukrdquo Bailey said ldquoso I took my savings le the oil industry and be-gan to develop a camp on a smaller scale and odeg er this camp to student and youth group organizationsrdquo

In uenced greatly by his love for the outdoors Bailey stumbled upon 120 acres of land for sale and quickly pur-chased it

ldquo˝ e camp has been in the works since January 2009rdquo Bailey said ldquoRight a er the big ice storm hitrdquo

Noticing the fallen limbs and lumber that was scat-tered across the property a er his new purchase Bailey said he began to chop down dead trees and collect the wood that had already fallen to cre-ate a clearing for his camp

A er catching a vision Bailey planned to use this wood he acquired on his land to build the camp from the ground up Bailey teamed up with several of his mules to drag the trees he cut into large piles to use later Shortly a er this commitment Bailey said he bought a sawmill and began to mill the tree trunks he had cut into usable lumber

to construct the cabins on the campgrounds ˝ en began the long process of laying concrete foundations build-ing the concrete piers and as-sembling the log cabins from the wood he cut

Since the beginning of the construction of this student camp Bailey said he has con-structed about 23 himself As word got out among the locals in the neighboring counties Bailey began to have people volunteer and help him build the camp

˝ ough still under con-struction Bailey has managed to erect three cabins several barns and sheds for storage his own house on the prop-erty and is building a large dining hall overlooking the valley

ldquoIt is not the nicest place ever but it has come a long way since I was last out there a year agordquo junior Mason Les-ter said

Bailey has many future vi-sions for the camp and has a variety of improvements and new additions he plans to incorporate in the camp he said ˝ e yuml rst of these addi-tions is boxing certain por-tions of the camp in glass in order to provide protection from the elements yet at the same time decreasing any type of barrier between hu-mans and nature

Baileyrsquos most recent ac-quisition of land he said gave him access to 11 acres of White River property to serve as a swimming hole and al-low for opportunities to teach kayaking classes

Bailey has built several ropes courses with various degrees of di culty Bailey said that he owns $10000 worth of paintball equipment for guests to use and play with at their leisure Also a profes-sional archery course is in the making Bailey said for ar-

chers to come practice as well as for beginners to learn A BB gun range is being built to accommodate for the 30 guns Bailey owns Rock climbing and repelling practice is also a future addition Bailey said

ldquoI am a proponent of edu-cationrdquo Bailey said ldquoWe have areas where geology students would thrive fossils in rocks bludeg lines on the river and much morerdquo

Future additions also in-clude a skeet shooting range a combat pistol range con-cealed handgun license train-ing a yuml sh pond guided squir-rel hunts a pavilion and a sports and recreation area

ldquo˝ is isnrsquot just a summer to summer camp but a weekend camprdquo Bailey said

Bailey is open to have any type of group or organiza-tion to his property for a fun getaway whether it be for a bachelor party a faith-based group a fraternity or soror-ity get together family bond-ing or simply a class of nature loving students and their pro-fessor It is a great place to get away and experience the won-ders of nature Bailey said

Stephen Billings a stadeg member a part of Student Mobilization or StuMo re-cently made a trip to Baileyrsquos camp for a menrsquos retreat

ldquoIt was awesomerdquo he said ldquoRick was a huge blessing and helped us out with ev-erything Our crew got to get away from all distractions and focus on areas of growth and had a great timerdquo

Bailey said he has built the camp with his own money because he wants to give oth-ers the chance to experience creation ˝ ough he does not charge a group to come out and stay and use his facilities and equipment Bailey said he would appreciate any dona-tions the visitors give

ldquoIt was a great place to escape and rechargerdquo sopho-more Daniel Shimer said

˝ e camp is not fee-based and runs solely odeg the dona-tions he receives and Baileyrsquos own money Bailey said

ldquoWe plan on going back next yearrdquo Billings said

new retreat camp under construction

Fair chase is the ethical and lawful pursuit of wild game that does not give the hunter an im-proper advantage over the ani-mals according to the Boone and Crockett Club founded by ˝ eodore Roosevelt and others in 1887

ldquoOur relationship with the land in the city is no dideg erent than someone who reaps all or some of his resources from the wild but he or she can become unaware of where his steak dinner came fromrdquo said Per-rin Partee co-owner of Partee Land and Timber Partee has a hunting club on the land that his lumber business is on

Other students at the UofA who hunt said that they have heard about game wardens in the area running a tight shi in Arkansas making sure that il-legal hunting does not happen

ldquoGame wards are pretty on top of poachingrdquo junior bow hunter Samuel Colton said

ldquo˝ ey will hear shots pass shooting times or out of season and they will check it out It is pretty hard to get away with do-ing anything like that here in Arkansasrdquo he said

ldquoJust as any other social group has bad and good mem-bers hunting has its share of people who are conscious and well aware of ecological con-cerns and who are notrdquo Partee said

ldquoA little bad publicity should not ruin it for everyonerdquo Colton said

Krementz mentioned that there are many groups and or-ganizations encouraging chil-dren to hunt and enjoy wildlife

ldquoShooting sports in high schools is a huge dealrdquo Kre-mentz said

ldquoPart of that notion is that well if we can get kids to be-come familiar with shooting sports they will be more likely to go into hunting and yuml shing so they will start purchasing licenses which help with the management of wildlife and yuml sheries in our staterdquo Krement-ez said

Austin City Limits has a variety of individuals from all over the country Parents high school kids hipster-wannabes music lovers obsessive musi-cian stalkers and UA students all stand in yuml elds for two hours and push their way to the front to enjoy 45 minutes of the

songs replayed in their cars and sung in their showers every day For locals the experience has changed People who live in Austin yuml nd outsiders a bit of a burden and the ACL scene a little dideg erent

ldquoACL use to be for up and coming artists but now itrsquos a tourist attractionrdquo Austin local Bailey Pierce said ldquoItrsquos a major boost to the economy for the two weeks it goes onrdquo

˝ e festival goes on for two weeks in the beginning of Oc-tober and lasts for three days with non-stop music ˝ e sec-ond weekend was full of up-and-coming artists as well and major labels including BORNS Vance Joy Of Monsters and Men Alt-J Hoizer ˝ e Week-end and Florence and the Ma-chine ˝ e biggest dilemma of any person attending the festi-val is which shows to choose when to go and how to make their way to the front Everyone yuml nds a spot in the dead grass for miles on end lays out a pic-nic blanket and dances to the songs with bass so loud their whole bodies shake

˝ e concerts themselves are better than any attraction at the park One of the artists BORNS is a new artist with a new album out in a few days His songs were owy and drew the crowd in In between sweet songs of love and dreamy rhythms BORNS showed small glimpses into his personality

Florence of Florence and the Machine showed her true col-ors too when whipped odeg her shirt during ldquoDog Daysrdquo and talked about her tattoos in Aus-tin while twirling and dancing on the stage

UA students who are from Austin still attend the festival even though it is almost nine hours away Freshman Anne Villani is originally from Austin but goes to school at the UofA

FOOTBALL

enior cross country run-ner Dominique Scott has done it all

She is a two-time winner of the Southeastern Conference Runner of the Year award and a two-time NCAA All-American She also has seven individual titles

But this season Scott is striv-ing toward another goal

ldquoMy biggest goal of the year is to be a team leader and to be a role modelrdquo Scott said

ldquoWe have a really young group of girls this year I just want to make sure I set a good example for them and give back to the team because when I was younger there were a lot of good leaders on the teamrdquo

Coach Lance Harter has nothing but praise for his star runner

ldquoShersquos tremendousrdquo Harter said ldquoShe talks to the under-classmen and shersquos a great leaderrdquo

Though the team has several

freshman Scott said she is looking to capitalize on the teamrsquos fi h-place fin sh at the end of last season

ldquoMy goal for the team is to be top 10 this yearrdquo Scott said ldquoIf this young team can go in be confide t take the bull by the horns and embrace the oppor-tunity we can accomplish itrdquo

It helps that the team has the No 1 runner in the country who already won her fi st meet of the season Oct 3 at the Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival

Scott ranked second coming into the season but after her fi st-place fin sh she moved into the top spot

ldquoIrsquom at the level now that I enjoy the pressurerdquo Scott said ldquoPressure either breaks people or it makes them rise to the oc-

casion Hopefully I can rise to the occasion but rankings are just numbers on a page People are just guessing on themrdquo

Scott said she wasnrsquot totally surprised by the honor She fin shed track season last year by placing second in both the 10K and the 5K

ldquoMost people canrsquot do bothrdquo

Scott said ldquoItrsquos like a double suicide You get one day of rest in betweenrdquo

If success is based on how much an athlete trains then itrsquos no surprise that Scott is a dominant runner

On average Scott runs 75 miles a week but she reduces that to 60 miles a week prior racing Those numbers are without running Sundays

While running Scott is unfazed by any dist-

Harter said he knows that Scott has the tools and determination to win at nationals a personal goal of Scott during her last year of eligibility

ldquoShe has very high goals and very high expectations so we try to help her notch it up another level so she can achieve themrdquo Harter said

After her eligibility expires Scott has her eyes on running professionally The 2020 Tokyo Olympics is a realistic goal and it is something Scott has dreamed about since she was a little girl she said

ldquoI feel so blessed that Irsquom able to live out my dreamrdquo Scott said

Rcontinued on page 11

Q Is it time the Ra-zorbacks look else-where at the quar-terback position

Alex No matter how bad Brandon Allen may seem in the fourth quarter he still has the most experience under center The next best option is a guy who has only attempted 18 passes in his career BA is still our guy until the end of the season

Andrew Allen is the only capable quarterback on the roster right now The fact that hersquos even kept the Razorbacks competitive is crazy consider-ing how many offensive players are injured

Austin Whatrsquos the point Even if Allen wasnrsquot the best option which he is benching him would only lead to confli t within the team It would signal the end of the coaching staff rsquos hopes for the season too

Chandler Replace him with whom Allen is the best option available so there is no other reason to look elsewhere

Leonce Fans have to un-derstand that there isnrsquot anyone on the roster who can do what Allen has been doing this sea-son He is the best option right now If Bret Bielema wanted to lose his job which I know he doesnrsquot he would bench Allen Itrsquos nonsense

Pete If the Razorbacks are knocked out of bowl contention they should look elsewhere Ty Storey and Rafe Peavey are playmakers and thatrsquos something Razorback fans havenrsquot seen in a quarter-back since Matt Jones Letrsquos be honest Allen is absolutely replaceable at quarterback

Tye No but that changes if the Razorbacks lose enough games to be knocked out of bowl contention If that happens Allen should be benched

Traveler Staff Mid-Season Round Table Discussion

Q Will the Razor-backs ever make the College Foot-ball Playoff under Bielema

Alex Yes they will Arkan-sas has the talent and will have the quarterback play in the future to lead this team to the playoffs u der Bielema

Andrew The Razorbacks wonrsquot make the CFP as long as theyrsquore in the Southeastern Conference and canrsquot recruit as well as other teams A team needs more than coaching to win the SEC let alone play in the CFP

Austin No one expected coach Bielema to lead Ar-kansas to the CFP in his fi st three years Theyrsquoll make it eventually because the top SEC teams are always likely to have at least a loss or two on their record which could provide the Razorbacks with a window to nab an SEC title

Chandler As long as the Razorbacks are in the SEC no Coach Bielema is a fantastic coach but the SEC is on an-other level

Leonce I doubt it Arkansas just doesnrsquot possess the appeal of LSU Alabama and Texas AampM in the SEC West Itrsquoll be too tough to recruit top-tier talent to make the playoff I sincerely hope Irsquom wrong but I donrsquot see the Razorbacks winning 11 games and winning the SEC to make the playoff

Pete Yes I really like the vision Bielema has for the team With teams lean-ing more and more toward spreading the fi ld Bielema is still determined to build an old-school team that may be tough for opposing defenses It all depends on if he stays long enough to see his vision carried out

Tye Simple answer No

ldquoPressure either breaks people or it makes them rise to the occasion Hope-fully I can rise to the occasion but rank-

ings are just numbers on a pagerdquoDominique Scott

Q The Razor-backs are 2-4 Will they become bowl eligible this season

Alex Yes they will Winning at home will make the Razorbacks eligible for a bowl game Who knows Maybe theyrsquoll play Texas again and wersquoll have a repeat of last season

AndrewThe Razor-backs will miss a bowl game because of their early season blunders Therersquos always next year

Austin The Hogs should just squeak into bowl eligibility to give the seniors and fans one last look at the team

Chandler Yes Wins over Auburn UT-Martin Mississippi State and Missouri will get the Razorbacks to a bowl

Leonce Yes but barely The Hogs will break even and sneak into the postseason They need to make sure they donrsquot slip up at home for the rest of the season because a road win will be tough

Pete If the defense continues to play as well as it did against Alabama then the Hogs might be able to save the season from being a total disaster and make a bowl game

Tye Yes The defen-sive players will come alive just as they did late last year The surge in the defense will pro-pel the Razorbacks to a second-consecutive bowl under Bielema

Q What will Arkan-sas record be at the end of the season Who will they lose to Who will they beat

Alex Arkansas will go 6-6 and lose to Louisiana State University and Ole Miss Auburn and Mississippi State will be close games but the Razorbacks will fi d a way to win

Andrew The Hogs will fin sh 5-7 Wins over Tennes-see Auburn and Missouri will be the highlights of Arkansasrsquo season

Austin The Razorbacks will fin sh with a 5-7 record and fin sh the year with a win over Missouri after Thanks-giving Auburn is looking vulnerable and the Razor-backs should be able to strike after coming off a ye week The University of Tennessee-Martin will be a much-needed cupcake on homecoming and provide the Hogs with a win

Chandler Outside of LSU and Ole Miss the Razorbacks will be at home the rest of the season Mississippi State will be challenging but I expect the Razorbacks to win all of their home games and go 6-6

Leonce I believe the team will go 6-6 with road losses against LSU and Ole Miss I also have faith that the Hogs will improve defensively and possibly pull an upset on the road against one of the two teams

Pete The defense will have to carry the struggling offense if the Razorbacks are going to fin sh the season 6-6 Ole Miss and LSU are too tough especially on the road

Tye Arkansas will fin sh 6-6 The Hogs will have wins over Auburn UT-Martin Mississippi State and Mis-souri

PRO HOGS Vol VII

ormer Razorback pitcher Dallas Keuchel

pitched his way to a vic-tory Sunday in the Houston Astrosrsquo third game against the Kansas City Royals in the American League Division Series

In a 4-2 victory over Kansas City Keuchel pitched seven innings and gave up yuml ve hits He gave up a home run to centeryuml elder Lorenzo Cain in the fourth inning but it was the only run scored on Keuchel during the game

deg e pitcher threw 124 pitches and struck out seven batters before being relieved by Tony Sipp

Prior to that performance Keuchel helped the Astros punch a ticket to the series a er an impressive perfor-mance on the mound in the teamrsquos wild-card matchup against the New York Yan-kees

Keuchelrsquos dominating play against the Yankees in the Astrosrsquo 3-0 victory was not the pitcherrsquos yuml rst great show-ing this season deg e pitcher had a mind-blowing 15-0 record in Houston during the regular season and he yuml n-ished the regular season with a 20-8 record as he willed his team into the postseason

Going into the wild-card game the Astros and the Yankees were the two teams in the MLB that were most dependent on home runs deg e teams scored nearly half their runs because of the long ball

Going up against veteran sluggers Alex Rodriguez and Carlos Beltran on the road was no small task for Keuchel who was playing in his yuml rst postseason environ-ment deg e Astros had not played in the postseason since 2005 when the organi-zation was crowned National League champion

Andrew EppersonStaff Reporter

Keuchel anchors AstrosInstead of crumbling

under the pressure at Yankee Stadium against arguably the most successful team in MLB history Keuchel pitched a performance for the ages and turned the sports world upside down

In six innings Keuchel gave up only three hits and a walk deg e ace did not commit a single error and 54 of his 87 pitches were strikes Keuchel struck out seven batters be-fore he was relieved by Sipp

Keuchel faced the Yankees twice during the regular sea-son and won both times In June the pitcher struck out 12 batters in the Astrosrsquo shutout victory over the Yankees In August Keuchel pitched for seven scoreless innings and struck out nine Yankee batters

A er his impressive regular season most experts believe the American League Cy Young race is between Keuchel and Toronto Blue Jays pitcher David Price deg e Cy Young Award is given to the best pitcher in each league

Keuchelrsquos breakout season was somewhat unexpected because the pitcher earned a 12-9 record as a starting pitcher last season While many experts predicted he would have a solid year almost no one expected Keuchel to rise to the top of the American League

When the le y won his 14th consecutive home start he set the franchise record for most consecutive home victories deg e record was previously set by Danny Darwin in 1990

Before being dra ed by the Astros in the seventh round of the 2009 dra Keuchel played at Arkansas for three seasons He ended his college career with a 19-9 record for the Hogs and he started 17 games his senior season Keuchelrsquos 2009 Razorback team made a run in the Col-lege World Series before even-tually losing to the Louisiana State University Tigers

F

rkansas running back Alex Collins should be considered one of

the best players in the South-eastern Conference

Collins has produced more than 650 rushing yards while gaining more than 5 yards on every carry Hersquos on pace to rush for more than 1300 yards which would mark his third consecutive season to rush for more than 1000 yards

COMMENTARY

Austin AraujoStaff Reporter

He yuml nished last season as the No 14 all-time leading rusher in school history If he continues his pace Collins will reach the third spot on that list

Itrsquos a travesty that Collins isnrsquot consistently mentioned as one of the best runners in the SEC

One of Collinsrsquo biggest rivals is Louisiana State Uni-versityrsquos Leonard Fournette Fournette started o slow against the University of South Carolina Gamecocks He yuml nished the yuml rst half with only 59 yards but he started the third quarter with a

bang Fournette took a hand-o from the shotgun and zoomed his way to the end zone untouched He needed only one upyuml eld cut to score an 87-yard touchdown

His touchdown was the type of statement the sopho-more running back who leads the NCAA in rushing yards needed to silence those who claim Fournettersquos early season success was because of his teamrsquos weak schedule

It was a statement similar to the one Collins made last year against Texas Tech when he pulled o an 84-

yard scamper to the end zone However Collins did that against a Red Raider defense that was not highly esteemed

Fournettersquos 158 yards against South Carolina pushed his rushing total to more than 1000 yards in just yuml ve games this season He became the 10th player in Football Bowl Subdivision history to reach that total in yuml ve games ac-cording to ESPN

Itrsquos easy to overlook Collinsrsquo superb play this season when a running back from a rival team is putting up historic numbers However that would be short cutting the perfor-

mance of a player who has taken over the duties as the main running back for the yuml rst time in his career

Collins has become the focus of a Razorback of-fense that is confused about its identity In 2014 the Hogs thrived on pound-ing their opponents with a ground game that punished and wore down defenses deg at rushing attack was built on the combination of Collins and Jonathan Wil-liams who rushed for more than 1100 yards last year deg is season Collins has been pushed into the solo

A

Alex Collins runs over the competition this seasonrole save for a few touches that have gone to freshman Rawleigh Williams

Without the ability to rely on two talented running backs the Razorbacks are turning to an increasingly e ective passing attack Yet Collins is still on pace to obliterate his totals from last year

Fans need to appreciate what theyrsquore seeing from Collins before he bolts for the NFL or count their lucky stars if he chooses to give it one more go in an Arkansas uniform

Lady Hogs continue to struggle

he UA soccer team dropped to 1-5-1 in Southeastern Con-

ference play and 5-8-1 overall a er su ering close defeats to Ole Miss and Vanderbilt on Friday and Sunday respec-tively

deg e Razorbacksrsquo matchup with Ole Miss ended with a gut-wrenching last-second goal in double overtime by Ole Miss defender Maddie Friedmann to give the Rebels a 2-1 victory

deg e Rebels had the NCAA leader in game-winning goals in CeCe Kizer but it was Friedmann who put Ole Miss on top against the Hogs

deg e other point for Ole Miss came when a Razorback

player accidentally scored on her own goal in the 55th minute

In the 64th minute Arkansas junior midyuml elder Rachel Riggs scored her yuml rst goal of the season to tie the game

Claire Kelley and Reece Christopherson assisted on the goal which was a chip shot for Riggs a er Ole Miss goalkeeper Marnie Merritt fell down Razorback head coach Colby Hale said Riggsrsquo perfor-mance helped the Hogs down the stretch

ldquoI thought she went in and added good minutes for usrdquo Hale said ldquoHonestly it wasnrsquot just the goal She did a few good things for usrdquo

deg e Rebels had 16 shots on the night but freshman goalkeeper Jordan Harris ac-counted for eight saves

deg e 1506 fans who attended the double-overtime thriller

broke an attendance record at Razorback Field It was the yuml h-highest attendance in Razorback Field history Some of the crowd stayed a er the game to call the Hogs with the team and receive autographs from the players

deg e team will bounce back from the loss and get better moving forward Hale said a er the game

In the teamrsquos matchup against the Vanderbilt Com-modores the Razorbacks were unable to yuml nd the net in the 1-0 defeat

SOCCER

Central Oklahoma scored three goals with le wing Gavin Hohl forward Sam Rice and center Landon Robin all getting in on the action Hohl and Rice each added an assist

Tempers rose quickly and players from both teams were separated multiple times throughout the night Each team had at least three di er-ent players spend time in the penalty box

Arkansas had trouble convert-ing power-play opportunities even when Central Oklahoma was down two players late in the third period During the power play Arkansas pulled Ecklund to add an additional scoring threat but a pass intercepted by Central Oklahoma forward Josh Wyatt led to an easy score on an unprotected goal

deg e second game was similar to the yuml rst with Ar-kansas striking yuml rst behind a goal from le wing Luc Gradisar It was the yuml rst of Gradisarrsquos two goals on the night deg e other came in the second period

ldquoWe came out strong in the third period but we didnrsquot capitalize on a couple of power plays that we wanted tordquo defender Chris Green said ldquoWe grinded a lot in our defensive zone but we couldnrsquot get any momentum goingrdquo

Rice right wing Andrei Novikov center Michael Rivera and forward Donald Danroth all added goals for Central Oklahoma

Once again both teams had to be separated numer-

ous times during the game At least six players on both sides served time in the penalty box

ldquodeg erersquos always a little talk-ing between teams but the refs didnrsquot call as many as they should have and didnrsquot get control of the game earlyrdquo Green said

With the loss the Hogs have dropped yuml ve of their last seven games and they go into the next series on a yuml ve-game losing streak

ldquoWersquore going to have a good week of practice then have a long bus ride to Coloradordquo Green said ldquoWersquore going to get a big win that we couldnrsquot get last week when they were hererdquo

fter a tumultuous off eason for head coach Mike Anderson

and the Razorback basket-ball team Anderson and his coaching staff are attempting to recruit top players who will put the team back in the national spotlight with marquee talent

During the off eason Jacorey Williams Anton Beard and Dustin Thomas found themselves in legal trouble after police arrested them for allegedly using counterfeit money Williams was dismissed and Beard and Thomas were suspended from the team Beard and Thomas await trials and could be reinstated

Arkansas also lost Ted Kapita one of the top recruits from the 2015 class who was ruled academically ineligible by NCAA offi als He will not be on campus for another year Kapita and fellow recruit Jimmy Whitt were the only ranked play-ers Anderson recruited last year With the departure of four of the teamrsquos leading scorers Kapita and Whitt were expected to fill produc-tion holes

However many top re-cruits are still considering Arkansas

Malik Monk the only five-star high school recruit in Arkansas has narrowed his list of schools to six The options include Arkansas Kentucky Oregon North Carolina Florida State and Kansas Arkansas and Kentucky are considered the favorites While Kentucky North Carolina and Kansas are perennial powerhouses Florida State has one of the best 2016 recruiting classes

However Monkrsquos older

brother Marcus Monk played at Arkansas seven years ago as a receiver on the football team Monk also resides close to Fayetteville in Bentonville

Monk is ranked fi h in the country and he would be the second five-star recruit in the state to choose the UofA over other options ac-cording to ESPN The other recruit was former Arkansas star Bobby Portis who led the team to its fi st NCAA Tournament bid since 2008

Besides Monk Anderson has secured a commitment from two of the countryrsquos best junior college prospects in guards Daryl Macon and Jaylen Barford Macon from Holmes Community College in Mississippi averaged 23 points four rebounds and three assists a game

Barford out of Motlow State Community College in Tennessee put up 20 points and five assists a game while grabbing seven boards Their scoring abilities should benefit the team when they make their way to Fayette-ville

Arkansas is still awaiting the decision of four-star recruit DersquoRon Davis a 6-foot-8-inch power forward from Aurora Colorado

For the 2017 recruiting class Arkansas has already received a commitment from in-state four-star power forward Daniel Gafford out of El Dorado The 6-foot-10-inch big man is ranked No 45 in ESPNrsquos ranking of high school juniors

Jamal Johnson a 6-foot-4-inch shooting guard from the 2017 recruiting class could also play for Arkansas but he has yet to make a decision

If Anderson and his staff can recruit top players such as Monk Davis and John-son the Razorbacksrsquo future looks bright

    Positions are available for students who wish to become campus bus drivers a Transit and Parking odeg cial said

    Students who are interest-ed in a position are encour-aged to yuml ll out the online ap-plication said Barry Schiller transit operations supervisor Along with the application students should include a reacute-sumeacute

    ldquoIrsquom glad that the uni-versity is allowing students to have this kind of oppor-tunityrdquo freshman Krisenda Henderson said ldquoA lot of on-campus jobs donrsquot o er very much exibility or an inter-esting work environment and I think this job does Itrsquos better for students to like their jobsrdquo

    Once the preliminary documents have been re-ceived potential drivers will go through an interview pro-cess he said Students will be interviewed by two or three

    professionals from Transit and Parking

    ldquo˙ e process isnrsquot compli-cated but there are a lot of steps to get through before you can get the jobrdquo Schiller said

    Applicants will then par-ticipate in a drug screen-ing and background check Schiller said ˙ e results of the tests narrow down the number of candidates who will move on in the hiring process

    ˙ e remaining applicants will enter job training a er a clean drug test and back-ground check are received Schiller said Training in-cludes preparing for the com-mercial driverrsquos license test bus familiarity training air brake testing and pre-route bus inspections he said

    Candidates will be taken on test drives at Baum Sta-dium and on roads with low tradeg c ˙ en they will drive the UA bus routes a er they have memorized them Schil-ler said

    Student drivers will be judged on several driving

    criteria such as railroad in-tersection and parking pro-cedures Examiners have all passed the tests they will be proctoring and they are cer-tiyuml ed by the state of Arkan-sas he said ˙ e UofA is also a state-certiyuml ed testing center for this process he said

    Once training is complete passing applicants will be hired Schiller said Getting hired can take up to yuml ve weeks because of the time it takes to get the results of a candidatersquos back-ground check he said

    To be considered for the po-sition students must have no criminal record Schiller said A commercial driverrsquos license is not needed when applying because the test is part of the training

    During training students will be paid $9 an hour and the pay rate will increase once the driver has completed train-ing Schiller said Once they are hired students can work as many hours as they wish

    ldquoWe will be very exible with the schedulerdquo Schiller said ldquoWe donrsquot want to keep them from their studies or classes so

    we will work with them indi-viduallyrdquo

    Transit odeg cials are ad-vertising the positions on-line and with posters around campus Driving a bus would be a great job for UA stu-dents Schiller said

    ldquo˙ e job is perfect for stu-dents because itrsquos right on campusrdquo Schiller said ldquoItrsquos one of the better paying cam-pus jobs and you get to meet a lot of people you wouldnrsquot ordinarily meet Itrsquos a great opportunity to make some extra moneyrdquo

    A beneyuml t of becoming a campus driver is that students will obtain a commercial driverrsquos license Schiller said ˙ e license allows individu-als to drive heavy vehicles or vehicles that tow transport trailers Having this type of license can beneyuml t some stu-dents when applying for fu-ture jobs he said

    Applications will remain open until Transit odeg cials are no longer in need of drivers Schiller said ˙ e application can be found on the Career Development Center website

    Residentsrsquo Interhall Con-gress members initiated a climate change program as-sociated with the nationwide Know Tomorrow campaign to educate students about climate change and RICrsquos initiatives to create a sustainable environ-ment on campus

    Know Tomorrow is about spurring students to action said Kenneth Hamilton RIC director of sustainability Know Tomorrow is a national non-proyuml t organization that was cre-ated to push students on college campuses across the country to show that students of this generation care about climate change

    Odeg cials launched the cam-paign at the UofA Oct 2 which was the same launch day for campaigns at other schools across the country Hamilton said

    RIC odeg cials partnered with Associated Student Govern-ment International Culture Team RecycleBacks the Stu-dent Sustainability Club and the Fayetteville Citizens Cli-mate Lobby to educate students about climate change and its ef-fects on society

    At each event students are encouraged to take pictures of themselves holding signs that show how they will be more green Hamilton said Students can also sign a petition that will be sent to President Barack Obama and the United Nations when the organization meets in December to discuss climate change

    ldquoWe have to think of sus-

    tainability like hygiene where we are just supposed to do itrdquo Hamilton said ldquoOur grandpar-ents did not care about climate change our parents didnrsquot care about it but we are the genera-tion that will have to deal with the consequences of itrdquo

    Know Tomorrow is about taking responsibility for a prob-lem students cannot ignore While UA odeg cials strive to pro-duce a green campus progress is slow Hamilton said How-ever RIC and campus sustain-ability programs have begun to make ldquobig stridesrdquo he said

    ˙ e residence hall recycling program has placed recycling bins on every oor of every res-

    idence hall ˙ is program has collected 1000 pounds of waste since last year Hamilton said As a result the UofA ranked fourth in Pepsirsquos national colle-giate recycling competition

    Additionally Bike Fix-It sta-tions promote the use of bikes around campus rather than motor transportation ˙ ose stations help decrease tradeg c on campus and reduce carbon di-oxide emissions

    Among other programs Hamiltonrsquos RIC committee also organizes the Recyclemania and Campus Conservation Na-tionals competitions in addi-tion to campus cleanup projects every semester

    Students helped to build a viewing pavilion and an interactive exhibit for the Frank Lloyd Wright House at Crystal Bridges and it will be open to the public Nov 11 said the public relations man-ager at Crystal Bridges

    Crystal Bridges partnered with the Fay Jones School of Architecture in the de-sign and construction of the welcome pavilion which is a structure that serves as an entryway to the site of the Frank Lloyd Wright House said Beth Bobbitt the public relations manager at Crystal Bridges

    Students in the design and fabrication program com-pleted the assembly and built the structure on the museum grounds in 2014 Bobbitt said

    ˜ e pavilion will feature information on Frank Lloyd Wright several of his build-ings and Usonian architec-ture she said

    Students also built a model of the house that is in the museumrsquos south lobby Crystal Bridges and the UA Libraries Special Collec-tion created a digital exhibi-tion that explores the lives and connections between Fay Jones and Frank Lloyd Wright Bobbitt said

    ldquo˜ e goal for it is to create an authentic experience by integrating the house into the natural landscape so it feels like it has always been hererdquo she said

    ˜ e house was originally built for Gloria Bachman

    and Abraham Wilson in 1954 along the Millstone River in New Jersey An architect and designer team Lawrence and Sharon Trantino bought and restored the house in 1988 Bobbitt said

    Constant ooding threat-ened the structure so the owners decided to give it to an institution willing to relocate it Adeg er searching for multiple years Crystal Bridges acquired the house in 2013 she said

    ˜ e entire structure was then taken apart and each component was labeled packed and loaded into two trucks provided by JB Hunt for transportation to the Crys-tal Bridges Bobbitt said

    ldquoWe put great e ort into upholding Frank Lloyd Wrightrsquos design principlesrdquo she said ldquoHe believed in connect-ing physically and spiritually to the natural world through the use of horizontal lines that ground the structure into the landscape and dissolve the barrier between the interior and exteriorrdquo

    October to bring out basic tendencies in Fayetteville

    As I was standing in line for Starbucks a few days ago I heard an interesting exchange of words between two friends

    It went something along the lines of ldquoLike OMG Jes-sica the pumpkin spice latte is back itrsquos literally the best day ever Like wow ˜ is is literally like more important than anything like my life is maderdquo

    Listening to this conversa-tion I thought back to a meme I had seen on Reddit a few days ago ˜ e caption read ldquoBrace yourself October is comingrdquo At the time I did not fully understand the meme I thought it was referring to colder weather but it was not October is dideg erent from ev-ery other month in one very distinct way- October is the month of the basic girls

    Every basic girl you know loves to interject three things in any conversation you have with her e yuml rst is something

    about Starbucks and the sec-ond is something about how totally ldquosmashedrdquo she got last night at that one frat house ˜ e third is less of a speciyuml c thing and more the inappro-priate addition of the word lit-erally before something thatrsquos not really literal ˜ e month of October takes these topics and escalates them exponen-tially

    Starbucks brings back their pumpkin spice latte in the month of October To anyone with an IQ higher than that of a piece of bread the news of a new avor of latte at Starbucks would not be of any impor-tance However basic girls feed odeg this news ˜ ey feel they must tell everyone of this news because it is literally the only piece of news they have heard and it has to do with Starbucks

    Burnettrsquos is every basic girlsrsquo drink of choice Because Burnettrsquos knows the type of au-dience they are selling to they made one of the smartest de-cisions on the planet pump-kin spice avored Burnettrsquos I

    know you may be throwing up in your mouth right now but this vodka is what fuels basic-ness through the entire month of October It also fuels a lot of vomit that ends up outside of peoplersquos mouths

    Halloween is on Oct 31 Besides Kwanzaa Halloween is literally every basic girls favorite holiday Halloween is a special time of the year be-cause you can be both slutty and culturally insensitive without being judged ˜ is is big news for basic girls every-where because they love being both of those things

    ˜ e weather gets a little bit chillier in the month of octo-ber For me that is a bummer but for basic bitches that is equivalent to like four venti pumpkin spice lattes Cold-er weather means dressing warmer and dressing warmer means Uggs and leggings ˜ e yuml rst day the weather drops below 65 degrees a basic girls closet changes from norts and t-shirts to Uggs and leggings and oversized Patagonias

    ˜ e cooler weather of Oc-

    tober also kicks odeg ldquocu ng seasonrdquo wherein the increased necessity of spending time indoors causes normally pro-miscuous people to feel the crushing loneliness caused by watching Net ix with no sig-niyuml cant other ˜ ey then wish they were ldquocudeg edrdquo or tied down by a serious relation-ship

    October is a month full of fascinating transitions ˜ e weather becomes a little bit colder and the leaves begin to change colors As the leaves change normal collegiate women change too Some girls stay unadeg ected but oth-ers canrsquot help being sucked into the void of basic-ness As more foods and drinks are in-fused with pumpkin avored syrups more and more girls are infused with a basic state of mind Brace yourselves Ra-zorbacks October is here

    Whatsgoodly app fosters campus conversation kind of

    Over the past few weeks one particular new app has been able to capture the polling acumen of students all around campus Whatsgoodly an app developed by fraternity students at Stanford Univer-sity last year allows users to anonymously post polls in which other users can cast votes ˜ e purpose of the app is to produce public opinion on certain contentious topics that people wouldnrsquot post on their social media publicly ˜ e silent majority is Whatgoodlyrsquos target audience

    Most of the polling done from Whatsgoodly is focused on ranking Greek life in some form Questions abound as to which houses are the best at any number of things from

    where to party to where to watch the game--though sci-ence has little to say about the actual dideg erence in these two things

    A er the Hogs faced odeg against Alabama last Saturday talk of the game was rampant on the app As always the Razorbacks were able to give we the faithful just enough hope that a vic-tory could be eked out and then reality came and hit us back

    ˜ e top game related poll read ldquoWhat should I do a er that gamerdquo No clear-cut winner could be decided as respondents to the poll felt it was equally time to ldquodrinkrdquo and ldquobe real it wasnrsquot that surprisingrdquo

    Whatsgoodly also serves as an outlet for students to voice their problems with a pesky roommate or friend

    49 of respondents in a poll about common room-mate annoyances noted their roommates ldquoleave their studeg all over the roomrdquo

    Coming up this week midterms are set to be the bane of existence to many students on campus ˜ e lack of sleep and over ow of stress in this instance has caused one particular student to voice their concerns in the form of a Whatsgoodly poll ldquoAre you go-ing to pass your midterms this weekrdquo it reads

    47 of respondents report that they have no way of pass-ing their midterms while an-other 24 of the student body represented by Whatsgoodly believes theyrsquore likely to pass but owe that success to the study drug Adderall A poll seeking information on what percent of UA students are actually prescribed the drug

    remains relatively unanswered as of press time

    Although it seems that the app is mainly dominated by non-critical questions regard-ing girls sports or Greek life the concept of the app itself holds real merit Instead of the same old rankings of sororities or a poll exclaiming that a de-rogatory word precede before Pike real applications could come from the app Students could gauge how hard a test was or yuml nd out which particu-lar party on campus was ldquopop-pinrsquordquo that night Whatsgoodly may not be able to be a voice for all students on campus but it could be a useful feature in driving student opinion and gauging interest for all

    Being trapped in a two dimensional worldHow curating our identities online can cause us to miss whatrsquos real

    Wersquore all aware that a picture is worth a thousand words but a real object is worth an inyuml nite amount of pictures Given that three-di-mensional objects consist of an inyuml nite amount of planes itrsquos technically impossible to fully represent that ob-ject with a two-dimensional image But taking a stroll through the photo albums of your friends makes it appar-ent that this near-impossible feat has been attempted

    What is the purpose of tak-ing all these pictures People are armed with smartphones many of which have a quick-swipe method of immediately accessing the camera ready to shoot any novelty that may emerge in their sight I donrsquot think the purpose is to re-

    member Since you canrsquot real-ly watch and aim the camera at the same time itrsquos probable that yoursquore watching what-ever it is through the medium of the viewyuml nder So much is lost in this two dimensional by-product Whatever mem-ory you create even though itrsquos permanent is smaller than life

    I think itrsquos a lot easier to construct a reality from pic-tures given that they are a two-dimensional slice of an inyuml nitely dense context Mi-chelle Orange puts her yuml nger on it when she says ldquoItrsquos more about representing a certain reality than remembering it although looking through carefully curated Facebook albums one o en senses the longing of the subject to re-member herself the way she would have others dordquo

    ˜ e point isnrsquot necessary to tell half-truths to others

    but to create truths for our-selves We are able to take a million photos of our life and then hand select a few of them a erwards By doing this we create our own nar-rative Itrsquos not like the photos are lies but they have been taken out of their context and re-strung together in the ways that we choose ˜ e awkward and boring moments between them that werenrsquot photo-graphed donrsquot have to be in-cluded

    Given the centrality of so-cial networking in our lives wersquove been able to turn these uncaptured moments into hearsay If itrsquos not recorded then it didnrsquot necessarily happen ˜ is has proven to be extremely useful for us in brushing aside moments that donrsquot yuml t nicely into the real-ity wersquove constructed for our-selves But it goes both ways ˜ is process has turned into a

    source of anxiety for us be-cause if something happens that we would like to incor-porate into this digital self-image it has to be captured to be of use We are the curators of our own life gallery a task that requires indeyuml nite atten-tion

    ˜ is is not meant to be a pessimistic indictment of our generationrsquos identity games Only in extreme cases do people feel the need to com-pletely construct themselves into their ideal silhouettes But we must always be wary of mistaking the map for the territory Even the most pro-digiously adorned proyuml le only scratches the surface of the three-dimensional human being behind it

    Columbus Day˜ e holiday set to expire

    Monday was Columbus Day I did not know it was Columbus Day until the end which shows you how much importance I place on Co-lumbus Day I do not care that it happened and I only care that I found out I missed it because it provided me with something to have an opinion on

    Columbus may or may not have actually found America and even if he did he was only American in the sense that he came onto someone elsersquos land and immediately claimed it as his own declared it needed saving and then went about angering all the locals who were blissfully unaware they needed so much help

    I do not know if Columbus arrived on the Santa Maria the El Nino or the third ship but I hope he didnrsquot bring all three ships the yuml rst time he went exploring because it would seem counterintuitive to put hundreds of human beings on boats and then sail into the blue beyond without an itinerary

    Celebrating Columbus Day is like celebrating a day called ldquoInciting Incident Dayrdquo where you celebrate a thing done by a person that gave another thing the possibility of existence many hundreds of years later ˜ e America established on July 4 1776 had little to do with Colum-bus other than that he acci-dentally stumbled onto a very nice piece of land

    If we want to keep cel-ebrating Columbus Day we should institute a ldquoBig Bang Dayrdquo where we celebrate the creation of the Universe as the event that would one day al-low all of us to exist

    ˜ erersquos an interesting shi happening where local gov-ernments and even entire states have been pushing to rebrand Columbus Day as In-digenous Peoples Day

    On Monday here on cam-pus a key to the city of Fay-etteville was presented to Nobel Peace Prize laureate Rigoberta Menchu who cam-

    paigns for the rights of indige-nous peoples across the world Her work in indigenous and womenrsquos rights and cultural reconciliation make Menchu a yuml tting yuml gure to hold a key to our wonderful city

    ˜ e move to rebrand Co-lumbus Day is one that I am in no way opposed to It seems yuml tting actually to give a single day of the 365 available to us to celebrate the entire popula-tion who lived on this conti-nent before it was discovered colonized ravaged by disease converted to Christianity and nearly wiped of budeg alo which would be the absolute pinna-cle of shame

    I donrsquot know how many of you have seen a budeg alo in person but they are immense majestic creatures with a right to live as important as ours ˜ ey are nothing like cattle and should be turned into neither burgers nor chaps for bikers ˜ ey carry in their chests the spirit of the old world One look into their eyes and you can feel a free-dom lost on modernity cours-ing through your veins

    Indigenous Peoples Day would be more appropriate than Inciting Incident Day in that it would give needed credence to a group of people who are almost entirely mar-ginalized in America today

    America once it was actu-ally America took notice that there had been people here before this piece of land be-came the greatest piece of land on earth and so we gave to those people relatively small sections of said land stepped back and said ldquowow this is perfect reconciliatory action for forcing your peoplersquos mi-gration you may have this square of land and the ability to build casinos upon itrdquo

    I support entirely the move to rebrand Columbus Day ˜ ough I know little about Columbus I can see how one might view his land-ing in what would someday be America as the veritable beginning of some sort of cultural genocide where the rights and wishes of an entire people were trampled under the foot of the white man like a herd of budeg alo before a thunderstorm

    ldquoMaking the Travelerrsquos Journey Worthwhilerdquo

    Meat-eating on campus is often limited to chicken strips hamburgers and the occasional pork chop

    Aside from a rare plate of venison or fish Fayetteville restaurants serve mostly the same types of meat How-ever not a single one of these American staples can be found on the menu of Fayettevillersquos newest eatery Herb-n-Elk

    Created by Nomads Mu-sic Lounge owners Jeremy Brown and Brittany Cusanek the restaurant specializes in atypical meats like crawfish and elk Cusanek hopes to serve bison and catfish in the future she said

    ldquoMy thought was that wersquore in Arkansas so letrsquos pull from what naturally would be liv-ing here what you would go out and hunt if you had to go get it yourselfrdquo Cusanek said

    The menursquos originality has several health benefits All of Herb-n-Elkrsquos dishes are at least partially organic and

    wholly sustainable Cusanek said

    ldquoYou think about all the other restaurants and what theyrsquore serving these three meat options and theyrsquore very highly processed factory farmedrdquo Cusanek said ldquoAnd so wersquore trying to get away from thatrdquo

    The restaurantrsquos elk meat comes from a certifi d or-ganic farm in Kansas Brown said The meat is not over-processed like chicken and beef can often be because the USDA has imposed stricter regulations for organic meats like elk and bison

    Herb-n-Elkrsquos grand open-ing was Oct 2 but the res-taurant was open for about a week before that ldquojust to kind of work out the kinks and see where we need to berdquo Brown said

    The grand opening was successful but since then business has been a bit slow Cusanek said The restaurant is tucked into the back cor-ner of the Metro District on Spring Street so it can be hard to fi d especially because the business is new and not well-known Cusanek said

    ldquoAnd we donrsquot want to blow uprdquo Brown said ldquoA lot of places will have too much PR about their grand opening and then they crash because they didnrsquot do it right hellip We just want to do it right the fi st timerdquo

    ldquoDoing it rightrdquo is defi-nitely a priority for Herb-n-Elkrsquos owners All of the food is made in small batches from fresh and locally-sourced in-gredients

    If the kitchen sells out of a certain ingredient or meal itrsquos out for the night because they donrsquot over-process food Brown said

    ldquoWersquore having a dinner party every night and yoursquove got to be the fi st to get hererdquo Cusanek said

    The inspiration for the res-taurant came from a trip that Cusanek and Brown took to Colorado over the summer While they were there they ate a delicious elk burger that made them start thinking about the possibilities for a special restaurant in Fayette-ville Cusanek said

    Brown is inspired by chefs like Jamie Oliver and others ldquowho are trying to expose

    food educationrdquo he said ldquoIt doesnrsquot have to be fried and it doesnrsquot have to be full of GMOs and fake ingredientsrdquo

    However the restaurant is about more than just pro-moting a healthy diet Herb-n-Elkrsquos menu is proof that Brown and Cusanek are seri-ous about boosting other lo-cal businesses Several local beers are on tap representing Columbus House Brewery Apple Blossom Brewing Co and Ozark Beer Company Brown said The Bourbon Rose cocktail features tea from Alchemy Macarons Also on tap there are brews from Missouri Oklahoma and Colorado Brown said

    Herb-n-Elkrsquos menu fea-tures several vegetarian meals like beet sliders Sriracha

    hummus and salads as well as comfort foods like hush puppies an elk meatloaf and burger and crawfish pasta Cusanek said that she often puts crawfish where lobster would usually be and elk where a dish would normally feature beef She said she is toying with the idea of bison meatballs

    Along with such an in-triguing menu comes appre-hension from customers

    Brown said that 12 cus-tomers came in during Bikes Blues amp BBQ and were disap-pointed that a regular ham-burger wasnrsquot on the menu In the end they were unwilling to try the elk burger and they left ithout eating

    ldquoPeople are a little bit hesi-tant because theyrsquore so used

    to beefrdquo Cusanek said ldquoThey know they like it so they stick with itrdquo

    Students had strong opin-ions about Herb-n-Elkrsquos menu

    ldquoTherersquos no way I would put that in my mouthrdquo soph-omore Natalie Oliver said

    Others were more willing to try new things

    ldquoIt sounds gross but I would be willing to try itrdquo ju-nior Megan Grajeda said

    Herb-n-Elkrsquos owners are counting on this open-mind-edness Their goal is to edu-cate people about sustainable health-conscious food so that obesity and other health is-sues can be eradicated

    ldquoYou donrsquot know if you like something unless yoursquove tried itrdquo Cusanek said

    New Restaurant Serves Elk Crawfish Entrees

    Fayetteville has given rise to a trending local band that has begun to turn the heads and capture the attention of students and music lovers alike The bandrsquos unortho-dox origin began only a few months ago

    Renfrowrsquos members met at a local studio under the same producer and quickly decided to pursue the shared dream of playing and producing music as a band

    ldquoWe are passionate about itrdquo Hayden Renfrow lead vo-calist and guitarist said ldquoWe all had our sights set on a mu-sic career and we love doing itrdquo

    The band brings an inter-esting dynamic with mem-bers all under the age of 25

    ldquoWe are young but that does not mean we are not goodrdquo Hayden Renfrow said

    Renfrow consists of four members Hayden Renfrow 21 Reagan Renfrow 16 Gar-rison Burgess 19 and recent UA graduate Dave Matthews 23 Hayden Renfrow attended the university before drop-ping out to engage the music industry

    Burgess also attended the UofA studying music educa-tion before joining the band full time Hayden and Rea-gan the bandrsquos bass guitarist are also brothers

    ldquoI would rather put time and effort into a music career because that is what I know I want to dordquo Renfrow said

    All four members live to-

    gether and practice in their house in Bentonville

    They were able to convert their living room into a music room allowing them plenty of space to practice with the full band Hayden Renfrow said

    Renfrow has also used the Fellowship Bible Church re-hearsal room to gain a better feel for how live shows will actually work

    The band is occasionally accompanied on stage by the Renfrowrsquos sister Hayley Ren-frow who fills the backup vo-cals and plays the piano

    Renfrow recently played its fi st small gig at a Fayette-ville coffee shop Mama Car-menrsquos on College Avenue The bar was filled with eager fans and locals who enjoyed the music and liveliness of the band

    ldquoThe band had impressive talent they covered songs very well and made you want to stay and listen morerdquo freshman William Votsmeir said

    The band has already ex-perienced several challeng-es since its beginning five months ago

    It was important for the band to work things out and establish unity and share a common vision and goal the members said

    Also having a high school student as a band member makes things interesting Hayden Renfrow said that he may be 16 but he acts like a 21 year old most of the time

    Renfrow has taken on the identity and genre of a singer-songwriter and blues and is comparable to John Mayer

    and Ben Rector who is an-other rising music star and alumnus of the UofA

    ldquoThey donrsquot have a weak player at any instrumentrdquo sophomore Daniel Matthews said ldquoI really enjoyed their songs they perform liverdquo

    Dave Matthews backup electric guitarist for Renfrow said ldquoIt has given me not only friends to play music with

    but friends who know me and support and encourage merdquo

    Renfrowrsquos music can be found on iTunes Spotify and Amazon

    Upon release of their fi st album Renfrowrsquos fi st EP ldquoSailsrdquo already reached the top 10 on singer-songwriter genres on iTunes

    Renfrow said they will re-main in northwest Arkansas

    for now however they have aspirations of one day mov-ing to Nashville Tennessee or Los Angeles

    The band plans to raise money and establish a fi m fan base here in Fayetteville before leaving Renfrow said they have the skill to do it and they know what it takes to make it in the music industry All they have to do is put in the work and effort

    Renfrow will return to per-form a free show at Mama Carmenrsquos Thursday evening Renfrow will also play a Ben-efit Concert at the UofA for the Rwanda Release

    More information about the band can be found on its website at renfrowmusiccom Anyone interested can also fol-low Renfrow on Instagram and Twitter at Renfrowmusic

    Brendon Glidden wiped a bead of sweat from his upper brow and nervously took a sip of water A million thoughts went through his head as he stepped up to the counter

    Donrsquot screw this up Ten minutes on the clock to brew this cup You got this

    Glidden a certifi d barista and head of research and de-velopment for Onyx Coffee Lab in Fayetteville attended the Specialty Coffee Associa-tion of America Event ndash or the ldquoSCAA Eventrdquo as the competi-tors call it ndash in Seattle last year He left the rest of his team at SCAA to compete at the third annual United States Aero-Press Championship

    The AeroPress a manual coffee brewer more common in Europe than in the United States brews coffee in 20-40 seconds according to the of-fic al AeroPress website As Glidden explained the brewer is not that big of a deal in the US but it has its own follow-ing

    In this bracket-style com-petition Glidden had to cre-ate a simple recipe using the coffee the competition panel provide the perfect tempera-ture ratio of water and pres-sure and from there brew the best cup of coffee

    Before the competition Glidden created a simple rec-ipe for a collaboration he had worked on with retail com-pany Fayettechill He crafted the recipe to brew coffee while camping and it did not re-quire fancy tools but instead translated into scoops

    ldquo(At Onyx) we would never measure in scoops It is wildly inaccuraterdquo Glidden said ldquoBut that recipe is exactly what I used in the competi-tionrdquo

    Upon his arrival to the United States AeroPress Championship Gliddenrsquos nerves caught up to him While the other participants indulged in the beer provided by vendors Glidden stuck to water

    ldquoThere I was by myself in a room full of people mdash people Irsquod heard of and I knew had done wellrdquo he said ldquoI was ner-vous and alone hoping Irsquod do well toordquo

    Itrsquos super simple to do just replicate your recipe here Donrsquot screw this up

    Glidden 23 moved to Fayetteville from Fort Smith in 2012 with an associatersquos degree in computer-aided drafting and design and a goal to work for Pixar which he abandoned because it was too stressful he said

    He also had three years of experience working at Sweet Bay Coffee Co in Fort Smith

    ldquoInitially the job was just fun I wasnrsquot really into coffee I could have just worked at a smoothie shop and had the same level of interestrdquo he said

    He started working at Onyx in Fayetteville in sum-mer 2013 and during his time

    there learned he does not just brew coffee he crafts t

    ldquoI didnrsquot know pour-over coffee existed I didnrsquot know good coffee until I fully dis-covered that coffee is a craftrdquo he said ldquoThat was after I ab-sorbed the industry It was in-credibly eye-openingrdquo

    Because he had never com-peted before he practiced in Fayetteville with his own tools ndash one being a Refractometer a $500 device that measures the impurities in water ndash and coffee The contest supplied the brand of coffee to every competitor on the West Coast but because Glidden was com-ing from Arkansas he was not able to practice with it In-stead he had to fi d a similar type of coffee to practice with

    He showed up to the event which was about two miles away from SCAA and as-sumed there would be a prac-tice round to see how it would be run There was not but the judges allowed Glidden and a few other baristas from out of town to practice And then the competition began

    With their names written on the bottoms of their cups no one ndash not even the judges ndash knew which cup was which By the end of the fi st round the judges had blindly tasted each cup counted to three and pointed unanimously to a cup in front of them

    ldquoI thought I was out I thought lsquoYep thatrsquos it Irsquom done Irsquom out of my leaguersquordquo and then I found out the cup was mine and I was moving on to the next roundrdquo Glidden said ldquoBy the last round it was comfortable because the three of us knew we were placing We had made itrdquo

    Glidden ended up winning second place met Alan Adler inventor of the AeroPress and scored many coffee-associat-ed prizes as well as fame for Onyx Glidden and the two other winners Andrew Bet-tis in third place and Jeremy Moore in fi st came from the South Bettis and Moore came from Tennessee

    ldquoUsually in that coffee culture you expect (the win-ners) to live on the coast somewhere where the coffee is more of a thingrdquo Glidden said with a playful smirk on his face ldquoWe killed all these West Coast guysrdquo

    Onyx is the only shop in town with ldquolabrdquo in its title in Fayetteville and for good rea-son too There is more science to brewing the perfect cup of coffee than one might think

    ldquoAt times it seems obnox-ious just to get a cup of cof-fee but it all mattersrdquo Glidden said ldquoSome of it is way too science-yrdquo he said as he went on to talk about pH levels in water

    Glidden works the bar at Onyx two days a week but he is a full-time employee He focuses a good amount of his time on coming up with new concoctions for the seasonal drink menu for which he cre-ated his proudest achievement thus far the award-winning Srsquomores Gibraltar Th s drink has been featured on various coffee blogs and websites as well as magazines around Ar-kansas

    Dylan Siemens head baris-ta trainer at Onyx has worked with Glidden for two years

    ldquoBrendon is a really en-thusiastic and creative person about really all things coffeerdquo

    Siemens said ldquoWe both are good for pushing each other to the next level of being a baristardquo

    Along with his barista job Glidden is head of research and development for Onyx which includes organizing and creating the seasonal menus He also leads and teaches public classes and events such as coffee brewing and latte art at Whole Foods and the Little Craft Show in Fayetteville He also brews the Nitro Cold Brew at the Onyx warehouse where he brewed about 500 gallons of it this past summer

    ldquoHad you asked me last year if I thought Irsquod be doing research and development for the shop I would say lsquono Irsquoll be making drinks like every-one elsersquo I didnrsquot see myself here everrdquo he said

    When not compet-ing nationally Glidden and the Onyx team hold ldquoOnyx Th owdownrdquo events which consist of a block-party atmo-sphere in the shop Local ven-dors neighboring shops and customers come to the shop for a latte-art competition where those competing buy-in for $5 and the winner gets ldquothe money and the bragging rightsrdquo Glidden said

    Glidden plans on attending this yearrsquos US Brewerrsquos Cup a performance-based competi-tion that ldquorecognizes and cel-ebrates the art of manual cof-fee brewingrdquo according to the website

    ldquoTh s is my career Coffee is itrdquo he said ldquoIrsquom not sure where Irsquoll be year-by-year whether itrsquos working with farms in different countries or what but Irsquom defin tely work-ing on planning future tripsrdquo

    An Ozark Mountain stu-dent retreat camp is under construction 40 miles east of Fayetteville

    Rick Bailey who graduated from the UofA with a degree in mechanical engineering in the 1970s is constructing this camp on a plot of land located atop a mountain in Madison County A er spending 30 years in the oil and engineer-ing industry Bailey said he felt led to exit the business world and begin investing in peoplersquos lives

    ldquoI knew I was too old to be hired by Kanakukrdquo Bailey said ldquoso I took my savings le the oil industry and be-gan to develop a camp on a smaller scale and odeg er this camp to student and youth group organizationsrdquo

    In uenced greatly by his love for the outdoors Bailey stumbled upon 120 acres of land for sale and quickly pur-chased it

    ldquo˝ e camp has been in the works since January 2009rdquo Bailey said ldquoRight a er the big ice storm hitrdquo

    Noticing the fallen limbs and lumber that was scat-tered across the property a er his new purchase Bailey said he began to chop down dead trees and collect the wood that had already fallen to cre-ate a clearing for his camp

    A er catching a vision Bailey planned to use this wood he acquired on his land to build the camp from the ground up Bailey teamed up with several of his mules to drag the trees he cut into large piles to use later Shortly a er this commitment Bailey said he bought a sawmill and began to mill the tree trunks he had cut into usable lumber

    to construct the cabins on the campgrounds ˝ en began the long process of laying concrete foundations build-ing the concrete piers and as-sembling the log cabins from the wood he cut

    Since the beginning of the construction of this student camp Bailey said he has con-structed about 23 himself As word got out among the locals in the neighboring counties Bailey began to have people volunteer and help him build the camp

    ˝ ough still under con-struction Bailey has managed to erect three cabins several barns and sheds for storage his own house on the prop-erty and is building a large dining hall overlooking the valley

    ldquoIt is not the nicest place ever but it has come a long way since I was last out there a year agordquo junior Mason Les-ter said

    Bailey has many future vi-sions for the camp and has a variety of improvements and new additions he plans to incorporate in the camp he said ˝ e yuml rst of these addi-tions is boxing certain por-tions of the camp in glass in order to provide protection from the elements yet at the same time decreasing any type of barrier between hu-mans and nature

    Baileyrsquos most recent ac-quisition of land he said gave him access to 11 acres of White River property to serve as a swimming hole and al-low for opportunities to teach kayaking classes

    Bailey has built several ropes courses with various degrees of di culty Bailey said that he owns $10000 worth of paintball equipment for guests to use and play with at their leisure Also a profes-sional archery course is in the making Bailey said for ar-

    chers to come practice as well as for beginners to learn A BB gun range is being built to accommodate for the 30 guns Bailey owns Rock climbing and repelling practice is also a future addition Bailey said

    ldquoI am a proponent of edu-cationrdquo Bailey said ldquoWe have areas where geology students would thrive fossils in rocks bludeg lines on the river and much morerdquo

    Future additions also in-clude a skeet shooting range a combat pistol range con-cealed handgun license train-ing a yuml sh pond guided squir-rel hunts a pavilion and a sports and recreation area

    ldquo˝ is isnrsquot just a summer to summer camp but a weekend camprdquo Bailey said

    Bailey is open to have any type of group or organiza-tion to his property for a fun getaway whether it be for a bachelor party a faith-based group a fraternity or soror-ity get together family bond-ing or simply a class of nature loving students and their pro-fessor It is a great place to get away and experience the won-ders of nature Bailey said

    Stephen Billings a stadeg member a part of Student Mobilization or StuMo re-cently made a trip to Baileyrsquos camp for a menrsquos retreat

    ldquoIt was awesomerdquo he said ldquoRick was a huge blessing and helped us out with ev-erything Our crew got to get away from all distractions and focus on areas of growth and had a great timerdquo

    Bailey said he has built the camp with his own money because he wants to give oth-ers the chance to experience creation ˝ ough he does not charge a group to come out and stay and use his facilities and equipment Bailey said he would appreciate any dona-tions the visitors give

    ldquoIt was a great place to escape and rechargerdquo sopho-more Daniel Shimer said

    ˝ e camp is not fee-based and runs solely odeg the dona-tions he receives and Baileyrsquos own money Bailey said

    ldquoWe plan on going back next yearrdquo Billings said

    new retreat camp under construction

    Fair chase is the ethical and lawful pursuit of wild game that does not give the hunter an im-proper advantage over the ani-mals according to the Boone and Crockett Club founded by ˝ eodore Roosevelt and others in 1887

    ldquoOur relationship with the land in the city is no dideg erent than someone who reaps all or some of his resources from the wild but he or she can become unaware of where his steak dinner came fromrdquo said Per-rin Partee co-owner of Partee Land and Timber Partee has a hunting club on the land that his lumber business is on

    Other students at the UofA who hunt said that they have heard about game wardens in the area running a tight shi in Arkansas making sure that il-legal hunting does not happen

    ldquoGame wards are pretty on top of poachingrdquo junior bow hunter Samuel Colton said

    ldquo˝ ey will hear shots pass shooting times or out of season and they will check it out It is pretty hard to get away with do-ing anything like that here in Arkansasrdquo he said

    ldquoJust as any other social group has bad and good mem-bers hunting has its share of people who are conscious and well aware of ecological con-cerns and who are notrdquo Partee said

    ldquoA little bad publicity should not ruin it for everyonerdquo Colton said

    Krementz mentioned that there are many groups and or-ganizations encouraging chil-dren to hunt and enjoy wildlife

    ldquoShooting sports in high schools is a huge dealrdquo Kre-mentz said

    ldquoPart of that notion is that well if we can get kids to be-come familiar with shooting sports they will be more likely to go into hunting and yuml shing so they will start purchasing licenses which help with the management of wildlife and yuml sheries in our staterdquo Krement-ez said

    Austin City Limits has a variety of individuals from all over the country Parents high school kids hipster-wannabes music lovers obsessive musi-cian stalkers and UA students all stand in yuml elds for two hours and push their way to the front to enjoy 45 minutes of the

    songs replayed in their cars and sung in their showers every day For locals the experience has changed People who live in Austin yuml nd outsiders a bit of a burden and the ACL scene a little dideg erent

    ldquoACL use to be for up and coming artists but now itrsquos a tourist attractionrdquo Austin local Bailey Pierce said ldquoItrsquos a major boost to the economy for the two weeks it goes onrdquo

    ˝ e festival goes on for two weeks in the beginning of Oc-tober and lasts for three days with non-stop music ˝ e sec-ond weekend was full of up-and-coming artists as well and major labels including BORNS Vance Joy Of Monsters and Men Alt-J Hoizer ˝ e Week-end and Florence and the Ma-chine ˝ e biggest dilemma of any person attending the festi-val is which shows to choose when to go and how to make their way to the front Everyone yuml nds a spot in the dead grass for miles on end lays out a pic-nic blanket and dances to the songs with bass so loud their whole bodies shake

    ˝ e concerts themselves are better than any attraction at the park One of the artists BORNS is a new artist with a new album out in a few days His songs were owy and drew the crowd in In between sweet songs of love and dreamy rhythms BORNS showed small glimpses into his personality

    ldquoWouldnrsquot it be weird if I just threw a bunch of cats into a hot crowd and they started crowd suryuml ngrdquo BORNS said

    Florence of Florence and the Machine showed her true col-ors too when whipped odeg her shirt during ldquoDog Daysrdquo and talked about her tattoos in Aus-tin while twirling and dancing on the stage

    When festival-goers werenrsquot listening to their favorite artists they were eating Even though the food prices are the equiva-lent of seven meals in Fayette-ville itrsquos worth every penny Watermelon slices the length of an arm juicy and covered in Chile powder that runs down their chins all over their hands and stains their clothes ˝ ere were chicken-studeg ed avocados

    Austin City Limits attracts students for its live music unique food and interesting people

    UA students who are from Austin still attend the festival even though it is almost nine hours away Freshman Anne Villani is originally from Austin but goes to school at the UofA

    ldquoSo many students attend ACL to listen to several con-certs in one weekend rather than having to go to several dideg erent concerts per year to enjoy Austin Texas food which is one of a kind and to reconnect with friends at other schools in one big event that everyone can enjoyrdquo Vil-lani said

    enior cross country run-ner Dominique Scott has done it all

    She is a two-time winner of the Southeastern Conference Runner of the Year award and a two-time NCAA All-American She also has seven individual titles

    But this season Scott is striv-ing toward another goal

    ldquoMy biggest goal of the year is to be a team leader and to be a role modelrdquo Scott said

    ldquoWe have a really young group of girls this year I just want to make sure I set a good example for them and give back to the team because when I was younger there were a lot of good leaders on the teamrdquo

    Coach Lance Harter has nothing but praise for his star runner

    ldquoShersquos tremendousrdquo Harter said ldquoShe talks to the under-classmen and shersquos a great leaderrdquo

    Though the team has several

    freshman Scott said she is looking to capitalize on the teamrsquos fi h-place fin sh at the end of last season

    ldquoMy goal for the team is to be top 10 this yearrdquo Scott said ldquoIf this young team can go in be confide t take the bull by the horns and embrace the oppor-tunity we can accomplish itrdquo

    It helps that the team has the No 1 runner in the country who already won her fi st meet of the season Oct 3 at the Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival

    Scott ranked second coming into the season but after her fi st-place fin sh she moved into the top spot

    ldquoIrsquom at the level now that I enjoy the pressurerdquo Scott said ldquoPressure either breaks people or it makes them rise to the oc-

    casion Hopefully I can rise to the occasion but rankings are just numbers on a page People are just guessing on themrdquo

    Scott said she wasnrsquot totally surprised by the honor She fin shed track season last year by placing second in both the 10K and the 5K

    ldquoMost people canrsquot do bothrdquo

    Scott said ldquoItrsquos like a double suicide You get one day of rest in betweenrdquo

    If success is based on how much an athlete trains then itrsquos no surprise that Scott is a dominant runner

    On average Scott runs 75 miles a week but she reduces that to 60 miles a week prior racing Those numbers are without running Sundays

    Q Is it time the Ra-zorbacks look else-where at the quar-terback position

    Alex No matter how bad Brandon Allen may seem in the fourth quarter he still has the most experience under center The next best option is a guy who has only attempted 18 passes in his career BA is still our guy until the end of the season

    Andrew Allen is the only capable quarterback on the roster right now The fact that hersquos even kept the Razorbacks competitive is crazy consider-ing how many offensive players are injured

    Austin Whatrsquos the point Even if Allen wasnrsquot the best option which he is benching him would only lead to confli t within the team It would signal the end of the coaching staff rsquos hopes for the season too

    Chandler Replace him with whom Allen is the best option available so there is no other reason to look elsewhere

    Leonce Fans have to un-derstand that there isnrsquot anyone on the roster who can do what Allen has been doing this sea-son He is the best option right now If Bret Bielema wanted to lose his job which I know he doesnrsquot he would bench Allen Itrsquos nonsense

    Pete If the Razorbacks are knocked out of bowl contention they should look elsewhere Ty Storey and Rafe Peavey are playmakers and thatrsquos something Razorback fans havenrsquot seen in a quarter-back since Matt Jones Letrsquos be honest Allen is absolutely replaceable at quarterback

    Tye No but that changes if the Razorbacks lose enough games to be knocked out of bowl contention If that happens Allen should be benched

    Traveler Staff Mid-Season Round Table Discussion

    Q Will the Razor-backs ever make the College Foot-ball Playoff under Bielema

    Alex Yes they will Arkan-sas has the talent and will have the quarterback play in the future to lead this team to the playoffs u der Bielema

    Andrew The Razorbacks wonrsquot make the CFP as long as theyrsquore in the Southeastern Conference and canrsquot recruit as well as other teams A team needs more than coaching to win the SEC let alone play in the CFP

    Austin No one expected coach Bielema to lead Ar-kansas to the CFP in his fi st three years Theyrsquoll make it eventually because the top SEC teams are always likely to have at least a loss or two on their record which could provide the Razorbacks with a window to nab an SEC title

    Chandler As long as the Razorbacks are in the SEC no Coach Bielema is a fantastic coach but the SEC is on an-other level

    Leonce I doubt it Arkansas just doesnrsquot possess the appeal of LSU Alabama and Texas AampM in the SEC West Itrsquoll be too tough to recruit top-tier talent to make the playoff I sincerely hope Irsquom wrong but I donrsquot see the Razorbacks winning 11 games and winning the SEC to make the playoff

    Pete Yes I really like the vision Bielema has for the team With teams lean-ing more and more toward spreading the fi ld Bielema is still determined to build an old-school team that may be tough for opposing defenses It all depends on if he stays long enough to see his vision carried out

    Tye Simple answer No

    ldquoPressure either breaks people or it makes them rise to the occasion Hope-fully I can rise to the occasion but rank-

    ings are just numbers on a pagerdquoDominique Scott

    Q The Razor-backs are 2-4 Will they become bowl eligible this season

    Alex Yes they will Winning at home will make the Razorbacks eligible for a bowl game Who knows Maybe theyrsquoll play Texas again and wersquoll have a repeat of last season

    AndrewThe Razor-backs will miss a bowl game because of their early season blunders Therersquos always next year

    Austin The Hogs should just squeak into bowl eligibility to give the seniors and fans one last look at the team

    Chandler Yes Wins over Auburn UT-Martin Mississippi State and Missouri will get the Razorbacks to a bowl

    Leonce Yes but barely The Hogs will break even and sneak into the postseason They need to make sure they donrsquot slip up at home for the rest of the season because a road win will be tough

    Pete If the defense continues to play as well as it did against Alabama then the Hogs might be able to save the season from being a total disaster and make a bowl game

    Tye Yes The defen-sive players will come alive just as they did late last year The surge in the defense will pro-pel the Razorbacks to a second-consecutive bowl under Bielema

    Q What will Arkan-sas record be at the end of the season Who will they lose to Who will they beat

    Alex Arkansas will go 6-6 and lose to Louisiana State University and Ole Miss Auburn and Mississippi State will be close games but the Razorbacks will fi d a way to win

    Andrew The Hogs will fin sh 5-7 Wins over Tennes-see Auburn and Missouri will be the highlights of Arkansasrsquo season

    Austin The Razorbacks will fin sh with a 5-7 record and fin sh the year with a win over Missouri after Thanks-giving Auburn is looking vulnerable and the Razor-backs should be able to strike after coming off a ye week The University of Tennessee-Martin will be a much-needed cupcake on homecoming and provide the Hogs with a win

    Chandler Outside of LSU and Ole Miss the Razorbacks will be at home the rest of the season Mississippi State will be challenging but I expect the Razorbacks to win all of their home games and go 6-6

    Leonce I believe the team will go 6-6 with road losses against LSU and Ole Miss I also have faith that the Hogs will improve defensively and possibly pull an upset on the road against one of the two teams

    Pete The defense will have to carry the struggling offense if the Razorbacks are going to fin sh the season 6-6 Ole Miss and LSU are too tough especially on the road

    Tye Arkansas will fin sh 6-6 The Hogs will have wins over Auburn UT-Martin Mississippi State and Mis-souri

    PRO HOGS Vol VII

    ormer Razorback pitcher Dallas Keuchel

    pitched his way to a vic-tory Sunday in the Houston Astrosrsquo third game against the Kansas City Royals in the American League Division Series

    In a 4-2 victory over Kansas City Keuchel pitched seven innings and gave up yuml ve hits He gave up a home run to centeryuml elder Lorenzo Cain in the fourth inning but it was the only run scored on Keuchel during the game

    deg e pitcher threw 124 pitches and struck out seven batters before being relieved by Tony Sipp

    Prior to that performance Keuchel helped the Astros punch a ticket to the series a er an impressive perfor-mance on the mound in the teamrsquos wild-card matchup against the New York Yan-kees

    Keuchelrsquos dominating play against the Yankees in the Astrosrsquo 3-0 victory was not the pitcherrsquos yuml rst great show-ing this season deg e pitcher had a mind-blowing 15-0 record in Houston during the regular season and he yuml n-ished the regular season with a 20-8 record as he willed his team into the postseason

    Going into the wild-card game the Astros and the Yankees were the two teams in the MLB that were most dependent on home runs deg e teams scored nearly half their runs because of the long ball

    Going up against veteran sluggers Alex Rodriguez and Carlos Beltran on the road was no small task for Keuchel who was playing in his yuml rst postseason environ-ment deg e Astros had not played in the postseason since 2005 when the organi-zation was crowned National League champion

    Andrew EppersonStaff Reporter

    Keuchel anchors AstrosInstead of crumbling

    under the pressure at Yankee Stadium against arguably the most successful team in MLB history Keuchel pitched a performance for the ages and turned the sports world upside down

    In six innings Keuchel gave up only three hits and a walk deg e ace did not commit a single error and 54 of his 87 pitches were strikes Keuchel struck out seven batters be-fore he was relieved by Sipp

    Keuchel faced the Yankees twice during the regular sea-son and won both times In June the pitcher struck out 12 batters in the Astrosrsquo shutout victory over the Yankees In August Keuchel pitched for seven scoreless innings and struck out nine Yankee batters

    A er his impressive regular season most experts believe the American League Cy Young race is between Keuchel and Toronto Blue Jays pitcher David Price deg e Cy Young Award is given to the best pitcher in each league

    Keuchelrsquos breakout season was somewhat unexpected because the pitcher earned a 12-9 record as a starting pitcher last season While many experts predicted he would have a solid year almost no one expected Keuchel to rise to the top of the American League

    When the le y won his 14th consecutive home start he set the franchise record for most consecutive home victories deg e record was previously set by Danny Darwin in 1990

    Before being dra ed by the Astros in the seventh round of the 2009 dra Keuchel played at Arkansas for three seasons He ended his college career with a 19-9 record for the Hogs and he started 17 games his senior season Keuchelrsquos 2009 Razorback team made a run in the Col-lege World Series before even-tually losing to the Louisiana State University Tigers

    F

    rkansas running back Alex Collins should be considered one of

    the best players in the South-eastern Conference

    Collins has produced more than 650 rushing yards while gaining more than 5 yards on every carry Hersquos on pace to rush for more than 1300 yards which would mark his third consecutive season to rush for more than 1000 yards

    COMMENTARY

    Austin AraujoStaff Reporter

    He yuml nished last season as the No 14 all-time leading rusher in school history If he continues his pace Collins will reach the third spot on that list

    Itrsquos a travesty that Collins isnrsquot consistently mentioned as one of the best runners in the SEC

    One of Collinsrsquo biggest rivals is Louisiana State Uni-versityrsquos Leonard Fournette Fournette started o slow against the University of South Carolina Gamecocks He yuml nished the yuml rst half with only 59 yards but he started the third quarter with a

    bang Fournette took a hand-o from the shotgun and zoomed his way to the end zone untouched He needed only one upyuml eld cut to score an 87-yard touchdown

    His touchdown was the type of statement the sopho-more running back who leads the NCAA in rushing yards needed to silence those who claim Fournettersquos early season success was because of his teamrsquos weak schedule

    It was a statement similar to the one Collins made last year against Texas Tech when he pulled o an 84-

    yard scamper to the end zone However Collins did that against a Red Raider defense that was not highly esteemed

    Fournettersquos 158 yards against South Carolina pushed his rushing total to more than 1000 yards in just yuml ve games this season He became the 10th player in Football Bowl Subdivision history to reach that total in yuml ve games ac-cording to ESPN

    Itrsquos easy to overlook Collinsrsquo superb play this season when a running back from a rival team is putting up historic numbers However that would be short cutting the perfor-

    mance of a player who has taken over the duties as the main running back for the yuml rst time in his career

    Collins has become the focus of a Razorback of-fense that is confused about its identity In 2014 the Hogs thrived on pound-ing their opponents with a ground game that punished and wore down defenses deg at rushing attack was built on the combination of Collins and Jonathan Wil-liams who rushed for more than 1100 yards last year deg is season Collins has been pushed into the solo

    A

    Alex Collins runs over the competition this seasonrole save for a few touches that have gone to freshman Rawleigh Williams

    Without the ability to rely on two talented running backs the Razorbacks are turning to an increasingly e ective passing attack Yet Collins is still on pace to obliterate his totals from last year

    Fans need to appreciate what theyrsquore seeing from Collins before he bolts for the NFL or count their lucky stars if he chooses to give it one more go in an Arkansas uniform

    Lady Hogs continue to struggle

    he UA soccer team dropped to 1-5-1 in Southeastern Con-

    ference play and 5-8-1 overall a er su ering close defeats to Ole Miss and Vanderbilt on Friday and Sunday respec-tively

    deg e Razorbacksrsquo matchup with Ole Miss ended with a gut-wrenching last-second goal in double overtime by Ole Miss defender Maddie Friedmann to give the Rebels a 2-1 victory

    deg e Rebels had the NCAA leader in game-winning goals in CeCe Kizer but it was Friedmann who put Ole Miss on top against the Hogs

    deg e other point for Ole Miss came when a Razorback

    player accidentally scored on her own goal in the 55th minute

    In the 64th minute Arkansas junior midyuml elder Rachel Riggs scored her yuml rst goal of the season to tie the game

    Claire Kelley and Reece Christopherson assisted on the goal which was a chip shot for Riggs a er Ole Miss goalkeeper Marnie Merritt fell down Razorback head coach Colby Hale said Riggsrsquo perfor-mance helped the Hogs down the stretch

    ldquoI thought she went in and added good minutes for usrdquo Hale said ldquoHonestly it wasnrsquot just the goal She did a few good things for usrdquo

    deg e Rebels had 16 shots on the night but freshman goalkeeper Jordan Harris ac-counted for eight saves

    deg e 1506 fans who attended the double-overtime thriller

    broke an attendance record at Razorback Field It was the yuml h-highest attendance in Razorback Field history Some of the crowd stayed a er the game to call the Hogs with the team and receive autographs from the players

    deg e team will bounce back from the loss and get better moving forward Hale said a er the game

    In the teamrsquos matchup against the Vanderbilt Com-modores the Razorbacks were unable to yuml nd the net in the 1-0 defeat

    Vanderbilt scored the only goal in the 11th minute when Simone Charley dropped one in from about 5 yards away from the goal However the Razorbacks held the Commo-dores scoreless for the rest of the game

    Arkansas nearly evened the score in the 67th minute

    when junior Alexandra Fischer appeared to score the equalizer but an o side call negated the goal

    deg e game was physical from the beginning and Arkansas racked up yuml ve fouls in the yuml rst half

    In the second half the Com-modores racked up nine fouls but yuml nished the game with a 13-to-8 advantage over the Razorbacks in the foul depart-ment

    Harris followed her perfor-mance against Ole Miss with a save in the yuml rst half against the Commodores Goalkeeper Cameron Carter played the other half against Vandy and she also earned a save

    deg e Razorbacks will take on the 8-4-3 Louisiana State University Tigers at 6 pm deg ursday at Razorback Field deg e game will be televised on the SEC Network

    Friday and Saturday in a two-game series that ended with Arkansas falling 4-2 to the de-fending national champions

    deg e loss dropped the teamrsquos record to 3-8 on the season

    In the yuml rst game Arkansas struck yuml rst when defender Austin deg ielges scored unas-sisted to take an early lead Al-though the Bronchos outshot Arkansas 15-8 in the yuml rst pe-riod strong play from goalie Oliver Eklund kept Central Oklahoma from scoring

    deg e second period was a whole di erent story

    Arkansas falls to defending champion 4-2HOCKEY

    SOCCER

    Central Oklahoma scored three goals with le wing Gavin Hohl forward Sam Rice and center Landon Robin all getting in on the action Hohl and Rice each added an assist

    Tempers rose quickly and players from both teams were separated multiple times throughout the night Each team had at least three di er-ent players spend time in the penalty box

    Arkansas had trouble convert-ing power-play opportunities even when Central Oklahoma was down two players late in the third period During the power play Arkansas pulled Ecklund to add an additional scoring threat but a pass intercepted by Central Oklahoma forward Josh Wyatt led to an easy score on an unprotected goal

    deg e second game was similar to the yuml rst with Ar-kansas striking yuml rst behind a goal from le wing Luc Gradisar It was the yuml rst of Gradisarrsquos two goals on the night deg e other came in the second period

    ldquoWe came out strong in the third period but we didnrsquot capitalize on a couple of power plays that we wanted tordquo defender Chris Green said ldquoWe grinded a lot in our defensive zone but we couldnrsquot get any momentum goingrdquo

    Rice right wing Andrei Novikov center Michael Rivera and forward Donald Danroth all added goals for Central Oklahoma

    Once again both teams had to be separated numer-

    ous times during the game At least six players on both sides served time in the penalty box

    ldquodeg erersquos always a little talk-ing between teams but the refs didnrsquot call as many as they should have and didnrsquot get control of the game earlyrdquo Green said

    With the loss the Hogs have dropped yuml ve of their last seven games and they go into the next series on a yuml ve-game losing streak

    ldquoWersquore going to have a good week of practice then have a long bus ride to Coloradordquo Green said ldquoWersquore going to get a big win that we couldnrsquot get last week when they were hererdquo

    fter a tumultuous off eason for head coach Mike Anderson

    and the Razorback basket-ball team Anderson and his coaching staff are attempting to recruit top players who will put the team back in the national spotlight with marquee talent

    During the off eason Jacorey Williams Anton Beard and Dustin Thomas found themselves in legal trouble after police arrested them for allegedly using counterfeit money Williams was dismissed and Beard and Thomas were suspended from the team Beard and Thomas await trials and could be reinstated

    Arkansas also lost Ted Kapita one of the top recruits from the 2015 class who was ruled academically ineligible by NCAA offi als He will not be on campus for another year Kapita and fellow recruit Jimmy Whitt were the only ranked play-ers Anderson recruited last year With the departure of four of the teamrsquos leading scorers Kapita and Whitt were expected to fill produc-tion holes

    However many top re-cruits are still considering Arkansas

    Malik Monk the only five-star high school recruit in Arkansas has narrowed his list of schools to six The options include Arkansas Kentucky Oregon North Carolina Florida State and Kansas Arkansas and Kentucky are considered the favorites While Kentucky North Carolina and Kansas are perennial powerhouses Florida State has one of the best 2016 recruiting classes

    Big recruiting push for Hog basketballLeonce DeLochStaff Reporter

    brother Marcus Monk played at Arkansas seven years ago as a receiver on the football team Monk also resides close to Fayetteville in Bentonville

    Monk is ranked fi h in the country and he would be the second five-star recruit in the state to choose the UofA over other options ac-cording to ESPN The other recruit was former Arkansas star Bobby Portis who led the team to its fi st NCAA Tournament bid since 2008

    Besides Monk Anderson has secured a commitment from two of the countryrsquos best junior college prospects in guards Daryl Macon and Jaylen Barford Macon from Holmes Community College in Mississippi averaged 23 points four rebounds and three assists a game

    Barford out of Motlow State Community College in Tennessee put up 20 points and five assists a game while grabbing seven boards Their scoring abilities should benefit the team when they make their way to Fayette-ville

    Arkansas is still awaiting the decision of four-star recruit DersquoRon Davis a 6-foot-8-inch power forward from Aurora Colorado

    For the 2017 recruiting class Arkansas has already received a commitment from in-state four-star power forward Daniel Gafford out of El Dorado The 6-foot-10-inch big man is ranked No 45 in ESPNrsquos ranking of high school juniors

    Jamal Johnson a 6-foot-4-inch shooting guard from the 2017 recruiting class could also play for Arkansas but he has yet to make a decision

      Students helped to build a viewing pavilion and an interactive exhibit for the Frank Lloyd Wright House at Crystal Bridges and it will be open to the public Nov 11 said the public relations man-ager at Crystal Bridges

      Crystal Bridges partnered with the Fay Jones School of Architecture in the de-sign and construction of the welcome pavilion which is a structure that serves as an entryway to the site of the Frank Lloyd Wright House said Beth Bobbitt the public relations manager at Crystal Bridges

      Students in the design and fabrication program com-pleted the assembly and built the structure on the museum grounds in 2014 Bobbitt said

      ˜ e pavilion will feature information on Frank Lloyd Wright several of his build-ings and Usonian architec-ture she said

      Students also built a model of the house that is in the museumrsquos south lobby Crystal Bridges and the UA Libraries Special Collec-tion created a digital exhibi-tion that explores the lives and connections between Fay Jones and Frank Lloyd Wright Bobbitt said

      ldquo˜ e goal for it is to create an authentic experience by integrating the house into the natural landscape so it feels like it has always been hererdquo she said

      ˜ e house was originally built for Gloria Bachman

      and Abraham Wilson in 1954 along the Millstone River in New Jersey An architect and designer team Lawrence and Sharon Trantino bought and restored the house in 1988 Bobbitt said

      Constant ooding threat-ened the structure so the owners decided to give it to an institution willing to relocate it Adeg er searching for multiple years Crystal Bridges acquired the house in 2013 she said

      ˜ e entire structure was then taken apart and each component was labeled packed and loaded into two trucks provided by JB Hunt for transportation to the Crys-tal Bridges Bobbitt said

      ldquoWe put great e ort into upholding Frank Lloyd Wrightrsquos design principlesrdquo she said ldquoHe believed in connect-ing physically and spiritually to the natural world through the use of horizontal lines that ground the structure into the landscape and dissolve the barrier between the interior and exteriorrdquo

      A Southwestern Electric Power Company pole failure caused the outage Media Re-lations Manager Steve Voor-hies said

      Most buildings on campus regained power around 730 pm last night UAPD Capt Gary Crain said

      Crain confi med that a squirrel caused the outage

      ldquoA squirrel got into the boxrdquo Crain said ldquoIt shorted out everything in that boxrdquo

      Crain said this happens ev-ery couple of years

      ldquoThey get into transform-ers and power boxes and when they do therersquos nothing left ut charcoalrdquo Crain said

      Police and repair workers were stationed on the corner of Whiteside Drive and Dick-son Street where they think the outage originated

      The power outage went down Dickson Street and up Maple Street fi efi hter Justin Clark said

      Firefi hters responded to

      reports of people stuck in ele-vators in Old Main and Hum-phreys Hall but did not know about the power outage until they arrived on the scene Clark said

      ldquoProblem is with no pow-er I canrsquot move the thingrdquo said Chris Reed an Otis elevator company worker who came to Old Main

      All elevators on campus were quickly cleared Crain said

      A student reported an ac-quaintance rape in the North-west Quad Building A at 1249 am Sunday

      Both of the people involved in the report were students al-though the complainant is not pressing charges said Capt Gary Crain of UAPD

      The case is still active ac-cording to the UAPD crime log

      ldquoWe are still collecting some information to submit to the prosecutor for reviewrdquo Crain said

      If the student decides to prosecute later UAPD will have the information on re-cord Crain said

      In 2014 there were three reports of rape and in 2013 there were six rapes reported The year before that there were five rapes reported ac-cording to the annual Jeanne

      Officials did not send out a RazALERT to student after the rape occurred

      ldquoA RazALERT is only sent out if there is a threat to the communityrdquo Crain said

      October to bring out basic tendencies in Fayetteville

      As I was standing in line for Starbucks a few days ago I heard an interesting exchange of words between two friends

      It went something along the lines of ldquoLike OMG Jes-sica the pumpkin spice latte is back itrsquos literally the best day ever Like wow ˜ is is literally like more important than anything like my life is maderdquo

      Listening to this conversa-tion I thought back to a meme I had seen on Reddit a few days ago ˜ e caption read ldquoBrace yourself October is comingrdquo At the time I did not fully understand the meme I thought it was referring to colder weather but it was not October is dideg erent from ev-ery other month in one very distinct way- October is the month of the basic girls

      Every basic girl you know loves to interject three things in any conversation you have with her e yuml rst is something

      about Starbucks and the sec-ond is something about how totally ldquosmashedrdquo she got last night at that one frat house ˜ e third is less of a speciyuml c thing and more the inappro-priate addition of the word lit-erally before something thatrsquos not really literal ˜ e month of October takes these topics and escalates them exponen-tially

      Starbucks brings back their pumpkin spice latte in the month of October To anyone with an IQ higher than that of a piece of bread the news of a new avor of latte at Starbucks would not be of any impor-tance However basic girls feed odeg this news ˜ ey feel they must tell everyone of this news because it is literally the only piece of news they have heard and it has to do with Starbucks

      Burnettrsquos is every basic girlsrsquo drink of choice Because Burnettrsquos knows the type of au-dience they are selling to they made one of the smartest de-cisions on the planet pump-kin spice avored Burnettrsquos I

      know you may be throwing up in your mouth right now but this vodka is what fuels basic-ness through the entire month of October It also fuels a lot of vomit that ends up outside of peoplersquos mouths

      Halloween is on Oct 31 Besides Kwanzaa Halloween is literally every basic girls favorite holiday Halloween is a special time of the year be-cause you can be both slutty and culturally insensitive without being judged ˜ is is big news for basic girls every-where because they love being both of those things

      ˜ e weather gets a little bit chillier in the month of octo-ber For me that is a bummer but for basic bitches that is equivalent to like four venti pumpkin spice lattes Cold-er weather means dressing warmer and dressing warmer means Uggs and leggings ˜ e yuml rst day the weather drops below 65 degrees a basic girls closet changes from norts and t-shirts to Uggs and leggings and oversized Patagonias

      ˜ e cooler weather of Oc-

      tober also kicks odeg ldquocu ng seasonrdquo wherein the increased necessity of spending time indoors causes normally pro-miscuous people to feel the crushing loneliness caused by watching Net ix with no sig-niyuml cant other ˜ ey then wish they were ldquocudeg edrdquo or tied down by a serious relation-ship

      October is a month full of fascinating transitions ˜ e weather becomes a little bit colder and the leaves begin to change colors As the leaves change normal collegiate women change too Some girls stay unadeg ected but oth-ers canrsquot help being sucked into the void of basic-ness As more foods and drinks are in-fused with pumpkin avored syrups more and more girls are infused with a basic state of mind Brace yourselves Ra-zorbacks October is here

      Whatsgoodly app fosters campus conversation kind of

      Over the past few weeks one particular new app has been able to capture the polling acumen of students all around campus Whatsgoodly an app developed by fraternity students at Stanford Univer-sity last year allows users to anonymously post polls in which other users can cast votes ˜ e purpose of the app is to produce public opinion on certain contentious topics that people wouldnrsquot post on their social media publicly ˜ e silent majority is Whatgoodlyrsquos target audience

      Most of the polling done from Whatsgoodly is focused on ranking Greek life in some form Questions abound as to which houses are the best at any number of things from

      where to party to where to watch the game--though sci-ence has little to say about the actual dideg erence in these two things

      A er the Hogs faced odeg against Alabama last Saturday talk of the game was rampant on the app As always the Razorbacks were able to give we the faithful just enough hope that a vic-tory could be eked out and then reality came and hit us back

      ˜ e top game related poll read ldquoWhat should I do a er that gamerdquo No clear-cut winner could be decided as respondents to the poll felt it was equally time to ldquodrinkrdquo and ldquobe real it wasnrsquot that surprisingrdquo

      Whatsgoodly also serves as an outlet for students to voice their problems with a pesky roommate or friend

      49 of respondents in a poll about common room-mate annoyances noted their roommates ldquoleave their studeg all over the roomrdquo

      Coming up this week midterms are set to be the bane of existence to many students on campus ˜ e lack of sleep and over ow of stress in this instance has caused one particular student to voice their concerns in the form of a Whatsgoodly poll ldquoAre you go-ing to pass your midterms this weekrdquo it reads

      47 of respondents report that they have no way of pass-ing their midterms while an-other 24 of the student body represented by Whatsgoodly believes theyrsquore likely to pass but owe that success to the study drug Adderall A poll seeking information on what percent of UA students are actually prescribed the drug

      remains relatively unanswered as of press time

      Although it seems that the app is mainly dominated by non-critical questions regard-ing girls sports or Greek life the concept of the app itself holds real merit Instead of the same old rankings of sororities or a poll exclaiming that a de-rogatory word precede before Pike real applications could come from the app Students could gauge how hard a test was or yuml nd out which particu-lar party on campus was ldquopop-pinrsquordquo that night Whatsgoodly may not be able to be a voice for all students on campus but it could be a useful feature in driving student opinion and gauging interest for all

      Being trapped in a two dimensional worldHow curating our identities online can cause us to miss whatrsquos real

      Wersquore all aware that a picture is worth a thousand words but a real object is worth an inyuml nite amount of pictures Given that three-di-mensional objects consist of an inyuml nite amount of planes itrsquos technically impossible to fully represent that ob-ject with a two-dimensional image But taking a stroll through the photo albums of your friends makes it appar-ent that this near-impossible feat has been attempted

      What is the purpose of tak-ing all these pictures People are armed with smartphones many of which have a quick-swipe method of immediately accessing the camera ready to shoot any novelty that may emerge in their sight I donrsquot think the purpose is to re-

      member Since you canrsquot real-ly watch and aim the camera at the same time itrsquos probable that yoursquore watching what-ever it is through the medium of the viewyuml nder So much is lost in this two dimensional by-product Whatever mem-ory you create even though itrsquos permanent is smaller than life

      I think itrsquos a lot easier to construct a reality from pic-tures given that they are a two-dimensional slice of an inyuml nitely dense context Mi-chelle Orange puts her yuml nger on it when she says ldquoItrsquos more about representing a certain reality than remembering it although looking through carefully curated Facebook albums one o en senses the longing of the subject to re-member herself the way she would have others dordquo

      ˜ e point isnrsquot necessary to tell half-truths to others

      but to create truths for our-selves We are able to take a million photos of our life and then hand select a few of them a erwards By doing this we create our own nar-rative Itrsquos not like the photos are lies but they have been taken out of their context and re-strung together in the ways that we choose ˜ e awkward and boring moments between them that werenrsquot photo-graphed donrsquot have to be in-cluded

      Given the centrality of so-cial networking in our lives wersquove been able to turn these uncaptured moments into hearsay If itrsquos not recorded then it didnrsquot necessarily happen ˜ is has proven to be extremely useful for us in brushing aside moments that donrsquot yuml t nicely into the real-ity wersquove constructed for our-selves But it goes both ways ˜ is process has turned into a

      source of anxiety for us be-cause if something happens that we would like to incor-porate into this digital self-image it has to be captured to be of use We are the curators of our own life gallery a task that requires indeyuml nite atten-tion

      ˜ is is not meant to be a pessimistic indictment of our generationrsquos identity games Only in extreme cases do people feel the need to com-pletely construct themselves into their ideal silhouettes But we must always be wary of mistaking the map for the territory Even the most pro-digiously adorned proyuml le only scratches the surface of the three-dimensional human being behind it

      Columbus Day˜ e holiday set to expire

      Monday was Columbus Day I did not know it was Columbus Day until the end which shows you how much importance I place on Co-lumbus Day I do not care that it happened and I only care that I found out I missed it because it provided me with something to have an opinion on

      Columbus may or may not have actually found America and even if he did he was only American in the sense that he came onto someone elsersquos land and immediately claimed it as his own declared it needed saving and then went about angering all the locals who were blissfully unaware they needed so much help

      I do not know if Columbus arrived on the Santa Maria the El Nino or the third ship but I hope he didnrsquot bring all three ships the yuml rst time he went exploring because it would seem counterintuitive to put hundreds of human beings on boats and then sail into the blue beyond without an itinerary

      Celebrating Columbus Day is like celebrating a day called ldquoInciting Incident Dayrdquo where you celebrate a thing done by a person that gave another thing the possibility of existence many hundreds of years later ˜ e America established on July 4 1776 had little to do with Colum-bus other than that he acci-dentally stumbled onto a very nice piece of land

      If we want to keep cel-ebrating Columbus Day we should institute a ldquoBig Bang Dayrdquo where we celebrate the creation of the Universe as the event that would one day al-low all of us to exist

      ˜ erersquos an interesting shi happening where local gov-ernments and even entire states have been pushing to rebrand Columbus Day as In-digenous Peoples Day

      On Monday here on cam-pus a key to the city of Fay-etteville was presented to Nobel Peace Prize laureate Rigoberta Menchu who cam-

      paigns for the rights of indige-nous peoples across the world Her work in indigenous and womenrsquos rights and cultural reconciliation make Menchu a yuml tting yuml gure to hold a key to our wonderful city

      ˜ e move to rebrand Co-lumbus Day is one that I am in no way opposed to It seems yuml tting actually to give a single day of the 365 available to us to celebrate the entire popula-tion who lived on this conti-nent before it was discovered colonized ravaged by disease converted to Christianity and nearly wiped of budeg alo which would be the absolute pinna-cle of shame

      I donrsquot know how many of you have seen a budeg alo in person but they are immense majestic creatures with a right to live as important as ours ˜ ey are nothing like cattle and should be turned into neither burgers nor chaps for bikers ˜ ey carry in their chests the spirit of the old world One look into their eyes and you can feel a free-dom lost on modernity cours-ing through your veins

      Indigenous Peoples Day would be more appropriate than Inciting Incident Day in that it would give needed credence to a group of people who are almost entirely mar-ginalized in America today

      America once it was actu-ally America took notice that there had been people here before this piece of land be-came the greatest piece of land on earth and so we gave to those people relatively small sections of said land stepped back and said ldquowow this is perfect reconciliatory action for forcing your peoplersquos mi-gration you may have this square of land and the ability to build casinos upon itrdquo

      I support entirely the move to rebrand Columbus Day ˜ ough I know little about Columbus I can see how one might view his land-ing in what would someday be America as the veritable beginning of some sort of cultural genocide where the rights and wishes of an entire people were trampled under the foot of the white man like a herd of budeg alo before a thunderstorm

      ldquoMaking the Travelerrsquos Journey Worthwhilerdquo

      Meat-eating on campus is often limited to chicken strips hamburgers and the occasional pork chop

      Aside from a rare plate of venison or fish Fayetteville restaurants serve mostly the same types of meat How-ever not a single one of these American staples can be found on the menu of Fayettevillersquos newest eatery Herb-n-Elk

      Created by Nomads Mu-sic Lounge owners Jeremy Brown and Brittany Cusanek the restaurant specializes in atypical meats like crawfish and elk Cusanek hopes to serve bison and catfish in the future she said

      ldquoMy thought was that wersquore in Arkansas so letrsquos pull from what naturally would be liv-ing here what you would go out and hunt if you had to go get it yourselfrdquo Cusanek said

      The menursquos originality has several health benefits All of Herb-n-Elkrsquos dishes are at least partially organic and

      wholly sustainable Cusanek said

      ldquoYou think about all the other restaurants and what theyrsquore serving these three meat options and theyrsquore very highly processed factory farmedrdquo Cusanek said ldquoAnd so wersquore trying to get away from thatrdquo

      The restaurantrsquos elk meat comes from a certifi d or-ganic farm in Kansas Brown said The meat is not over-processed like chicken and beef can often be because the USDA has imposed stricter regulations for organic meats like elk and bison

      Herb-n-Elkrsquos grand open-ing was Oct 2 but the res-taurant was open for about a week before that ldquojust to kind of work out the kinks and see where we need to berdquo Brown said

      The grand opening was successful but since then business has been a bit slow Cusanek said The restaurant is tucked into the back cor-ner of the Metro District on Spring Street so it can be hard to fi d especially because the business is new and not well-known Cusanek said

      ldquoAnd we donrsquot want to blow uprdquo Brown said ldquoA lot of places will have too much PR about their grand opening and then they crash because they didnrsquot do it right hellip We just want to do it right the fi st timerdquo

      ldquoDoing it rightrdquo is defi-nitely a priority for Herb-n-Elkrsquos owners All of the food is made in small batches from fresh and locally-sourced in-gredients

      If the kitchen sells out of a certain ingredient or meal itrsquos out for the night because they donrsquot over-process food Brown said

      ldquoWersquore having a dinner party every night and yoursquove got to be the fi st to get hererdquo Cusanek said

      The inspiration for the res-taurant came from a trip that Cusanek and Brown took to Colorado over the summer While they were there they ate a delicious elk burger that made them start thinking about the possibilities for a special restaurant in Fayette-ville Cusanek said

      Brown is inspired by chefs like Jamie Oliver and others ldquowho are trying to expose

      food educationrdquo he said ldquoIt doesnrsquot have to be fried and it doesnrsquot have to be full of GMOs and fake ingredientsrdquo

      However the restaurant is about more than just pro-moting a healthy diet Herb-n-Elkrsquos menu is proof that Brown and Cusanek are seri-ous about boosting other lo-cal businesses Several local beers are on tap representing Columbus House Brewery Apple Blossom Brewing Co and Ozark Beer Company Brown said The Bourbon Rose cocktail features tea from Alchemy Macarons Also on tap there are brews from Missouri Oklahoma and Colorado Brown said

      Herb-n-Elkrsquos menu fea-tures several vegetarian meals like beet sliders Sriracha

      hummus and salads as well as comfort foods like hush puppies an elk meatloaf and burger and crawfish pasta Cusanek said that she often puts crawfish where lobster would usually be and elk where a dish would normally feature beef She said she is toying with the idea of bison meatballs

      Along with such an in-triguing menu comes appre-hension from customers

      Brown said that 12 cus-tomers came in during Bikes Blues amp BBQ and were disap-pointed that a regular ham-burger wasnrsquot on the menu In the end they were unwilling to try the elk burger and they left ithout eating

      ldquoPeople are a little bit hesi-tant because theyrsquore so used

      to beefrdquo Cusanek said ldquoThey know they like it so they stick with itrdquo

      Students had strong opin-ions about Herb-n-Elkrsquos menu

      ldquoTherersquos no way I would put that in my mouthrdquo soph-omore Natalie Oliver said

      Others were more willing to try new things

      ldquoIt sounds gross but I would be willing to try itrdquo ju-nior Megan Grajeda said

      Herb-n-Elkrsquos owners are counting on this open-mind-edness Their goal is to edu-cate people about sustainable health-conscious food so that obesity and other health is-sues can be eradicated

      ldquoYou donrsquot know if you like something unless yoursquove tried itrdquo Cusanek said

      New Restaurant Serves Elk Crawfish Entrees

      Fayetteville has given rise to a trending local band that has begun to turn the heads and capture the attention of students and music lovers alike The bandrsquos unortho-dox origin began only a few months ago

      Renfrowrsquos members met at a local studio under the same producer and quickly decided to pursue the shared dream of playing and producing music as a band

      ldquoWe are passionate about itrdquo Hayden Renfrow lead vo-calist and guitarist said ldquoWe all had our sights set on a mu-sic career and we love doing itrdquo

      The band brings an inter-esting dynamic with mem-bers all under the age of 25

      ldquoWe are young but that does not mean we are not goodrdquo Hayden Renfrow said

      Renfrow consists of four members Hayden Renfrow 21 Reagan Renfrow 16 Gar-rison Burgess 19 and recent UA graduate Dave Matthews 23 Hayden Renfrow attended the university before drop-ping out to engage the music industry

      Burgess also attended the UofA studying music educa-tion before joining the band full time Hayden and Rea-gan the bandrsquos bass guitarist are also brothers

      ldquoI would rather put time and effort into a music career because that is what I know I want to dordquo Renfrow said

      All four members live to-

      gether and practice in their house in Bentonville

      They were able to convert their living room into a music room allowing them plenty of space to practice with the full band Hayden Renfrow said

      Renfrow has also used the Fellowship Bible Church re-hearsal room to gain a better feel for how live shows will actually work

      The band is occasionally accompanied on stage by the Renfrowrsquos sister Hayley Ren-frow who fills the backup vo-cals and plays the piano

      Renfrow recently played its fi st small gig at a Fayette-ville coffee shop Mama Car-menrsquos on College Avenue The bar was filled with eager fans and locals who enjoyed the music and liveliness of the band

      ldquoThe band had impressive talent they covered songs very well and made you want to stay and listen morerdquo freshman William Votsmeir said

      The band has already ex-perienced several challeng-es since its beginning five months ago

      It was important for the band to work things out and establish unity and share a common vision and goal the members said

      Also having a high school student as a band member makes things interesting Hayden Renfrow said that he may be 16 but he acts like a 21 year old most of the time

      Renfrow has taken on the identity and genre of a singer-songwriter and blues and is comparable to John Mayer

      and Ben Rector who is an-other rising music star and alumnus of the UofA

      ldquoThey donrsquot have a weak player at any instrumentrdquo sophomore Daniel Matthews said ldquoI really enjoyed their songs they perform liverdquo

      Dave Matthews backup electric guitarist for Renfrow said ldquoIt has given me not only friends to play music with

      but friends who know me and support and encourage merdquo

      Renfrowrsquos music can be found on iTunes Spotify and Amazon

      Upon release of their fi st album Renfrowrsquos fi st EP ldquoSailsrdquo already reached the top 10 on singer-songwriter genres on iTunes

      Renfrow said they will re-main in northwest Arkansas

      for now however they have aspirations of one day mov-ing to Nashville Tennessee or Los Angeles

      The band plans to raise money and establish a fi m fan base here in Fayetteville before leaving Renfrow said they have the skill to do it and they know what it takes to make it in the music industry All they have to do is put in the work and effort

      Renfrow will return to per-form a free show at Mama Carmenrsquos Thursday evening Renfrow will also play a Ben-efit Concert at the UofA for the Rwanda Release

      More information about the band can be found on its website at renfrowmusiccom Anyone interested can also fol-low Renfrow on Instagram and Twitter at Renfrowmusic

      Brendon Glidden wiped a bead of sweat from his upper brow and nervously took a sip of water A million thoughts went through his head as he stepped up to the counter

      Donrsquot screw this up Ten minutes on the clock to brew this cup You got this

      Glidden a certifi d barista and head of research and de-velopment for Onyx Coffee Lab in Fayetteville attended the Specialty Coffee Associa-tion of America Event ndash or the ldquoSCAA Eventrdquo as the competi-tors call it ndash in Seattle last year He left the rest of his team at SCAA to compete at the third annual United States Aero-Press Championship

      The AeroPress a manual coffee brewer more common in Europe than in the United States brews coffee in 20-40 seconds according to the of-fic al AeroPress website As Glidden explained the brewer is not that big of a deal in the US but it has its own follow-ing

      In this bracket-style com-petition Glidden had to cre-ate a simple recipe using the coffee the competition panel provide the perfect tempera-ture ratio of water and pres-sure and from there brew the best cup of coffee

      Before the competition Glidden created a simple rec-ipe for a collaboration he had worked on with retail com-pany Fayettechill He crafted the recipe to brew coffee while camping and it did not re-quire fancy tools but instead translated into scoops

      ldquo(At Onyx) we would never measure in scoops It is wildly inaccuraterdquo Glidden said ldquoBut that recipe is exactly what I used in the competi-tionrdquo

      Upon his arrival to the United States AeroPress Championship Gliddenrsquos nerves caught up to him While the other participants indulged in the beer provided by vendors Glidden stuck to water

      ldquoThere I was by myself in a room full of people mdash people Irsquod heard of and I knew had done wellrdquo he said ldquoI was ner-vous and alone hoping Irsquod do well toordquo

      Itrsquos super simple to do just replicate your recipe here Donrsquot screw this up

      Glidden 23 moved to Fayetteville from Fort Smith in 2012 with an associatersquos degree in computer-aided drafting and design and a goal to work for Pixar which he abandoned because it was too stressful he said

      He also had three years of experience working at Sweet Bay Coffee Co in Fort Smith

      ldquoInitially the job was just fun I wasnrsquot really into coffee I could have just worked at a smoothie shop and had the same level of interestrdquo he said

      He started working at Onyx in Fayetteville in sum-mer 2013 and during his time

      there learned he does not just brew coffee he crafts t

      ldquoI didnrsquot know pour-over coffee existed I didnrsquot know good coffee until I fully dis-covered that coffee is a craftrdquo he said ldquoThat was after I ab-sorbed the industry It was in-credibly eye-openingrdquo

      Because he had never com-peted before he practiced in Fayetteville with his own tools ndash one being a Refractometer a $500 device that measures the impurities in water ndash and coffee The contest supplied the brand of coffee to every competitor on the West Coast but because Glidden was com-ing from Arkansas he was not able to practice with it In-stead he had to fi d a similar type of coffee to practice with

      He showed up to the event which was about two miles away from SCAA and as-sumed there would be a prac-tice round to see how it would be run There was not but the judges allowed Glidden and a few other baristas from out of town to practice And then the competition began

      With their names written on the bottoms of their cups no one ndash not even the judges ndash knew which cup was which By the end of the fi st round the judges had blindly tasted each cup counted to three and pointed unanimously to a cup in front of them

      ldquoI thought I was out I thought lsquoYep thatrsquos it Irsquom done Irsquom out of my leaguersquordquo and then I found out the cup was mine and I was moving on to the next roundrdquo Glidden said ldquoBy the last round it was comfortable because the three of us knew we were placing We had made itrdquo

      Glidden ended up winning second place met Alan Adler inventor of the AeroPress and scored many coffee-associat-ed prizes as well as fame for Onyx Glidden and the two other winners Andrew Bet-tis in third place and Jeremy Moore in fi st came from the South Bettis and Moore came from Tennessee

      ldquoUsually in that coffee culture you expect (the win-ners) to live on the coast somewhere where the coffee is more of a thingrdquo Glidden said with a playful smirk on his face ldquoWe killed all these West Coast guysrdquo

      Onyx is the only shop in town with ldquolabrdquo in its title in Fayetteville and for good rea-son too There is more science to brewing the perfect cup of coffee than one might think

      ldquoAt times it seems obnox-ious just to get a cup of cof-fee but it all mattersrdquo Glidden said ldquoSome of it is way too science-yrdquo he said as he went on to talk about pH levels in water

      Glidden works the bar at Onyx two days a week but he is a full-time employee He focuses a good amount of his time on coming up with new concoctions for the seasonal drink menu for which he cre-ated his proudest achievement thus far the award-winning Srsquomores Gibraltar Th s drink has been featured on various coffee blogs and websites as well as magazines around Ar-kansas

      Dylan Siemens head baris-ta trainer at Onyx has worked with Glidden for two years

      ldquoBrendon is a really en-thusiastic and creative person about really all things coffeerdquo

      Siemens said ldquoWe both are good for pushing each other to the next level of being a baristardquo

      Along with his barista job Glidden is head of research and development for Onyx which includes organizing and creating the seasonal menus He also leads and teaches public classes and events such as coffee brewing and latte art at Whole Foods and the Little Craft Show in Fayetteville He also brews the Nitro Cold Brew at the Onyx warehouse where he brewed about 500 gallons of it this past summer

      ldquoHad you asked me last year if I thought Irsquod be doing research and development for the shop I would say lsquono Irsquoll be making drinks like every-one elsersquo I didnrsquot see myself here everrdquo he said

      When not compet-ing nationally Glidden and the Onyx team hold ldquoOnyx Th owdownrdquo events which consist of a block-party atmo-sphere in the shop Local ven-dors neighboring shops and customers come to the shop for a latte-art competition where those competing buy-in for $5 and the winner gets ldquothe money and the bragging rightsrdquo Glidden said

      Glidden plans on attending this yearrsquos US Brewerrsquos Cup a performance-based competi-tion that ldquorecognizes and cel-ebrates the art of manual cof-fee brewingrdquo according to the website

      ldquoTh s is my career Coffee is itrdquo he said ldquoIrsquom not sure where Irsquoll be year-by-year whether itrsquos working with farms in different countries or what but Irsquom defin tely work-ing on planning future tripsrdquo

      Rick Bailey who graduated from the UofA with a degree in mechanical engineering in the 1970s is constructing this camp on a plot of land located atop a mountain in Madison County A er spending 30 years in the oil and engineer-ing industry Bailey said he felt led to exit the business world and begin investing in peoplersquos lives

      ldquoI knew I was too old to be hired by Kanakukrdquo Bailey said ldquoso I took my savings le the oil industry and be-gan to develop a camp on a smaller scale and odeg er this camp to student and youth group organizationsrdquo

      In uenced greatly by his love for the outdoors Bailey stumbled upon 120 acres of land for sale and quickly pur-chased it

      ldquo˝ e camp has been in the works since January 2009rdquo Bailey said ldquoRight a er the big ice storm hitrdquo

      Noticing the fallen limbs and lumber that was scat-tered across the property a er his new purchase Bailey said he began to chop down dead trees and collect the wood that had already fallen to cre-ate a clearing for his camp

      A er catching a vision Bailey planned to use this wood he acquired on his land to build the camp from the ground up Bailey teamed up with several of his mules to drag the trees he cut into large piles to use later Shortly a er this commitment Bailey said he bought a sawmill and began to mill the tree trunks he had cut into usable lumber

      to construct the cabins on the campgrounds ˝ en began the long process of laying concrete foundations build-ing the concrete piers and as-sembling the log cabins from the wood he cut

      Since the beginning of the construction of this student camp Bailey said he has con-structed about 23 himself As word got out among the locals in the neighboring counties Bailey began to have people volunteer and help him build the camp

      ˝ ough still under con-struction Bailey has managed to erect three cabins several barns and sheds for storage his own house on the prop-erty and is building a large dining hall overlooking the valley

      ldquoIt is not the nicest place ever but it has come a long way since I was last out there a year agordquo junior Mason Les-ter said

      Bailey has many future vi-sions for the camp and has a variety of improvements and new additions he plans to incorporate in the camp he said ˝ e yuml rst of these addi-tions is boxing certain por-tions of the camp in glass in order to provide protection from the elements yet at the same time decreasing any type of barrier between hu-mans and nature

      Baileyrsquos most recent ac-quisition of land he said gave him access to 11 acres of White River property to serve as a swimming hole and al-low for opportunities to teach kayaking classes

      Bailey has built several ropes courses with various degrees of di culty Bailey said that he owns $10000 worth of paintball equipment for guests to use and play with at their leisure Also a profes-sional archery course is in the making Bailey said for ar-

      chers to come practice as well as for beginners to learn A BB gun range is being built to accommodate for the 30 guns Bailey owns Rock climbing and repelling practice is also a future addition Bailey said

      ldquoI am a proponent of edu-cationrdquo Bailey said ldquoWe have areas where geology students would thrive fossils in rocks bludeg lines on the river and much morerdquo

      Future additions also in-clude a skeet shooting range a combat pistol range con-cealed handgun license train-ing a yuml sh pond guided squir-rel hunts a pavilion and a sports and recreation area

      ldquo˝ is isnrsquot just a summer to summer camp but a weekend camprdquo Bailey said

      Bailey is open to have any type of group or organiza-tion to his property for a fun getaway whether it be for a bachelor party a faith-based group a fraternity or soror-ity get together family bond-ing or simply a class of nature loving students and their pro-fessor It is a great place to get away and experience the won-ders of nature Bailey said

      Stephen Billings a stadeg member a part of Student Mobilization or StuMo re-cently made a trip to Baileyrsquos camp for a menrsquos retreat

      ldquoIt was awesomerdquo he said ldquoRick was a huge blessing and helped us out with ev-erything Our crew got to get away from all distractions and focus on areas of growth and had a great timerdquo

      Bailey said he has built the camp with his own money because he wants to give oth-ers the chance to experience creation ˝ ough he does not charge a group to come out and stay and use his facilities and equipment Bailey said he would appreciate any dona-tions the visitors give

      ldquoIt was a great place to escape and rechargerdquo sopho-more Daniel Shimer said

      ˝ e camp is not fee-based and runs solely odeg the dona-tions he receives and Baileyrsquos own money Bailey said

      ldquoWe plan on going back next yearrdquo Billings said

      new retreat camp under construction

      Fair chase is the ethical and lawful pursuit of wild game that does not give the hunter an im-proper advantage over the ani-mals according to the Boone and Crockett Club founded by ˝ eodore Roosevelt and others in 1887

      ldquoOur relationship with the land in the city is no dideg erent than someone who reaps all or some of his resources from the wild but he or she can become unaware of where his steak dinner came fromrdquo said Per-rin Partee co-owner of Partee Land and Timber Partee has a hunting club on the land that his lumber business is on

      Other students at the UofA who hunt said that they have heard about game wardens in the area running a tight shi in Arkansas making sure that il-legal hunting does not happen

      ldquoGame wards are pretty on top of poachingrdquo junior bow hunter Samuel Colton said

      ldquo˝ ey will hear shots pass shooting times or out of season and they will check it out It is pretty hard to get away with do-ing anything like that here in Arkansasrdquo he said

      ldquoJust as any other social group has bad and good mem-bers hunting has its share of people who are conscious and well aware of ecological con-cerns and who are notrdquo Partee said

      ldquoA little bad publicity should not ruin it for everyonerdquo Colton said

      Krementz mentioned that there are many groups and or-ganizations encouraging chil-dren to hunt and enjoy wildlife

      ldquoShooting sports in high schools is a huge dealrdquo Kre-mentz said

      ldquoPart of that notion is that well if we can get kids to be-come familiar with shooting sports they will be more likely to go into hunting and yuml shing so they will start purchasing licenses which help with the management of wildlife and yuml sheries in our staterdquo Krement-ez said

      Austin City Limits has a variety of individuals from all over the country Parents high school kids hipster-wannabes music lovers obsessive musi-cian stalkers and UA students all stand in yuml elds for two hours and push their way to the front to enjoy 45 minutes of the

      songs replayed in their cars and sung in their showers every day For locals the experience has changed People who live in Austin yuml nd outsiders a bit of a burden and the ACL scene a little dideg erent

      ldquoACL use to be for up and coming artists but now itrsquos a tourist attractionrdquo Austin local Bailey Pierce said ldquoItrsquos a major boost to the economy for the two weeks it goes onrdquo

      ˝ e festival goes on for two weeks in the beginning of Oc-tober and lasts for three days with non-stop music ˝ e sec-ond weekend was full of up-and-coming artists as well and major labels including BORNS Vance Joy Of Monsters and Men Alt-J Hoizer ˝ e Week-end and Florence and the Ma-chine ˝ e biggest dilemma of any person attending the festi-val is which shows to choose when to go and how to make their way to the front Everyone yuml nds a spot in the dead grass for miles on end lays out a pic-nic blanket and dances to the songs with bass so loud their whole bodies shake

      ˝ e concerts themselves are better than any attraction at the park One of the artists BORNS is a new artist with a new album out in a few days His songs were owy and drew the crowd in In between sweet songs of love and dreamy rhythms BORNS showed small glimpses into his personality

      enior cross country run-ner Dominique Scott has done it all

      She is a two-time winner of the Southeastern Conference Runner of the Year award and a two-time NCAA All-American She also has seven individual titles

      But this season Scott is striv-ing toward another goal

      ldquoMy biggest goal of the year is to be a team leader and to be a role modelrdquo Scott said

      ldquoWe have a really young group of girls this year I just want to make sure I set a good example for them and give back to the team because when I was younger there were a lot of good leaders on the teamrdquo

      Coach Lance Harter has nothing but praise for his star runner

      ldquoShersquos tremendousrdquo Harter said ldquoShe talks to the under-classmen and shersquos a great leaderrdquo

      Though the team has several

      freshman Scott said she is looking to capitalize on the teamrsquos fi h-place fin sh at the end of last season

      ldquoMy goal for the team is to be top 10 this yearrdquo Scott said ldquoIf this young team can go in be confide t take the bull by the horns and embrace the oppor-tunity we can accomplish itrdquo

      It helps that the team has the No 1 runner in the country who already won her fi st meet of the season Oct 3 at the Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival

      Scott ranked second coming into the season but after her fi st-place fin sh she moved into the top spot

      ldquoIrsquom at the level now that I enjoy the pressurerdquo Scott said ldquoPressure either breaks people or it makes them rise to the oc-

      casion Hopefully I can rise to the occasion but rankings are just numbers on a page People are just guessing on themrdquo

      Scott said she wasnrsquot totally surprised by the honor She fin shed track season last year by placing second in both the 10K and the 5K

      ldquoMost people canrsquot do bothrdquo

      Scott said ldquoItrsquos like a double suicide You get one day of rest in betweenrdquo

      If success is based on how much an athlete trains then itrsquos no surprise that Scott is a dominant runner

      On average Scott runs 75 miles a week but she reduces that to 60 miles a week prior racing Those numbers are without running Sundays

      While running Scott is unfazed by any dist-

      Razorback Dominique Scott earns top SEC runner of the year again

      raction the world tries to throw at her she said

      ldquoIrsquom very focusedrdquo Scott said ldquoPeople often say lsquoDid you hear me cheeringrsquo And Irsquoll say lsquoOh yeah I didrsquo but I really didnrsquot because everything is blocked out Itrsquos like a tunnelrdquo

      Harter said he knows that Scott has the tools and determination to win at nationals a personal goal of Scott during her last year of eligibility

      ldquoShe has very high goals and very high expectations so we try to help her notch it up another level so she can achieve themrdquo Harter said

      After her eligibility expires Scott has her eyes on running professionally The 2020 Tokyo Olympics is a realistic goal and it is something Scott has dreamed about since she was a little girl she said

      ldquoI feel so blessed that Irsquom able to live out my dreamrdquo Scott said

      Q Is it time the Ra-zorbacks look else-where at the quar-terback position

      Alex No matter how bad Brandon Allen may seem in the fourth quarter he still has the most experience under center The next best option is a guy who has only attempted 18 passes in his career BA is still our guy until the end of the season

      Andrew Allen is the only capable quarterback on the roster right now The fact that hersquos even kept the Razorbacks competitive is crazy consider-ing how many offensive players are injured

      Austin Whatrsquos the point Even if Allen wasnrsquot the best option which he is benching him would only lead to confli t within the team It would signal the end of the coaching staff rsquos hopes for the season too

      Chandler Replace him with whom Allen is the best option available so there is no other reason to look elsewhere

      Leonce Fans have to un-derstand that there isnrsquot anyone on the roster who can do what Allen has been doing this sea-son He is the best option right now If Bret Bielema wanted to lose his job which I know he doesnrsquot he would bench Allen Itrsquos nonsense

      Pete If the Razorbacks are knocked out of bowl contention they should look elsewhere Ty Storey and Rafe Peavey are playmakers and thatrsquos something Razorback fans havenrsquot seen in a quarter-back since Matt Jones Letrsquos be honest Allen is absolutely replaceable at quarterback

      Tye No but that changes if the Razorbacks lose enough games to be knocked out of bowl contention If that happens Allen should be benched

      Traveler Staff Mid-Season Round Table Discussion

      Q Will the Razor-backs ever make the College Foot-ball Playoff under Bielema

      Alex Yes they will Arkan-sas has the talent and will have the quarterback play in the future to lead this team to the playoffs u der Bielema

      Andrew The Razorbacks wonrsquot make the CFP as long as theyrsquore in the Southeastern Conference and canrsquot recruit as well as other teams A team needs more than coaching to win the SEC let alone play in the CFP

      Austin No one expected coach Bielema to lead Ar-kansas to the CFP in his fi st three years Theyrsquoll make it eventually because the top SEC teams are always likely to have at least a loss or two on their record which could provide the Razorbacks with a window to nab an SEC title

      Chandler As long as the Razorbacks are in the SEC no Coach Bielema is a fantastic coach but the SEC is on an-other level

      Leonce I doubt it Arkansas just doesnrsquot possess the appeal of LSU Alabama and Texas AampM in the SEC West Itrsquoll be too tough to recruit top-tier talent to make the playoff I sincerely hope Irsquom wrong but I donrsquot see the Razorbacks winning 11 games and winning the SEC to make the playoff

      Pete Yes I really like the vision Bielema has for the team With teams lean-ing more and more toward spreading the fi ld Bielema is still determined to build an old-school team that may be tough for opposing defenses It all depends on if he stays long enough to see his vision carried out

      Tye Simple answer No

      ldquoPressure either breaks people or it makes them rise to the occasion Hope-fully I can rise to the occasion but rank-

      ings are just numbers on a pagerdquoDominique Scott

      Q The Razor-backs are 2-4 Will they become bowl eligible this season

      Alex Yes they will Winning at home will make the Razorbacks eligible for a bowl game Who knows Maybe theyrsquoll play Texas again and wersquoll have a repeat of last season

      AndrewThe Razor-backs will miss a bowl game because of their early season blunders Therersquos always next year

      Austin The Hogs should just squeak into bowl eligibility to give the seniors and fans one last look at the team

      Chandler Yes Wins over Auburn UT-Martin Mississippi State and Missouri will get the Razorbacks to a bowl

      Leonce Yes but barely The Hogs will break even and sneak into the postseason They need to make sure they donrsquot slip up at home for the rest of the season because a road win will be tough

      Pete If the defense continues to play as well as it did against Alabama then the Hogs might be able to save the season from being a total disaster and make a bowl game

      Tye Yes The defen-sive players will come alive just as they did late last year The surge in the defense will pro-pel the Razorbacks to a second-consecutive bowl under Bielema

      Q What will Arkan-sas record be at the end of the season Who will they lose to Who will they beat

      Alex Arkansas will go 6-6 and lose to Louisiana State University and Ole Miss Auburn and Mississippi State will be close games but the Razorbacks will fi d a way to win

      Andrew The Hogs will fin sh 5-7 Wins over Tennes-see Auburn and Missouri will be the highlights of Arkansasrsquo season

      Austin The Razorbacks will fin sh with a 5-7 record and fin sh the year with a win over Missouri after Thanks-giving Auburn is looking vulnerable and the Razor-backs should be able to strike after coming off a ye week The University of Tennessee-Martin will be a much-needed cupcake on homecoming and provide the Hogs with a win

      Chandler Outside of LSU and Ole Miss the Razorbacks will be at home the rest of the season Mississippi State will be challenging but I expect the Razorbacks to win all of their home games and go 6-6

      Leonce I believe the team will go 6-6 with road losses against LSU and Ole Miss I also have faith that the Hogs will improve defensively and possibly pull an upset on the road against one of the two teams

      Pete The defense will have to carry the struggling offense if the Razorbacks are going to fin sh the season 6-6 Ole Miss and LSU are too tough especially on the road

      Tye Arkansas will fin sh 6-6 The Hogs will have wins over Auburn UT-Martin Mississippi State and Mis-souri

      PRO HOGS Vol VII

      ormer Razorback pitcher Dallas Keuchel

      pitched his way to a vic-tory Sunday in the Houston Astrosrsquo third game against the Kansas City Royals in the American League Division Series

      In a 4-2 victory over Kansas City Keuchel pitched seven innings and gave up yuml ve hits He gave up a home run to centeryuml elder Lorenzo Cain in the fourth inning but it was the only run scored on Keuchel during the game

      deg e pitcher threw 124 pitches and struck out seven batters before being relieved by Tony Sipp

      Prior to that performance Keuchel helped the Astros punch a ticket to the series a er an impressive perfor-mance on the mound in the teamrsquos wild-card matchup against the New York Yan-kees

      Keuchelrsquos dominating play against the Yankees in the Astrosrsquo 3-0 victory was not the pitcherrsquos yuml rst great show-ing this season deg e pitcher had a mind-blowing 15-0 record in Houston during the regular season and he yuml n-ished the regular season with a 20-8 record as he willed his team into the postseason

      Going into the wild-card game the Astros and the Yankees were the two teams in the MLB that were most dependent on home runs deg e teams scored nearly half their runs because of the long ball

      Going up against veteran sluggers Alex Rodriguez and Carlos Beltran on the road was no small task for Keuchel who was playing in his yuml rst postseason environ-ment deg e Astros had not played in the postseason since 2005 when the organi-zation was crowned National League champion

      Andrew EppersonStaff Reporter

      Keuchel anchors AstrosInstead of crumbling

      under the pressure at Yankee Stadium against arguably the most successful team in MLB history Keuchel pitched a performance for the ages and turned the sports world upside down

      In six innings Keuchel gave up only three hits and a walk deg e ace did not commit a single error and 54 of his 87 pitches were strikes Keuchel struck out seven batters be-fore he was relieved by Sipp

      Keuchel faced the Yankees twice during the regular sea-son and won both times In June the pitcher struck out 12 batters in the Astrosrsquo shutout victory over the Yankees In August Keuchel pitched for seven scoreless innings and struck out nine Yankee batters

      A er his impressive regular season most experts believe the American League Cy Young race is between Keuchel and Toronto Blue Jays pitcher David Price deg e Cy Young Award is given to the best pitcher in each league

      Keuchelrsquos breakout season was somewhat unexpected because the pitcher earned a 12-9 record as a starting pitcher last season While many experts predicted he would have a solid year almost no one expected Keuchel to rise to the top of the American League

      When the le y won his 14th consecutive home start he set the franchise record for most consecutive home victories deg e record was previously set by Danny Darwin in 1990

      Before being dra ed by the Astros in the seventh round of the 2009 dra Keuchel played at Arkansas for three seasons He ended his college career with a 19-9 record for the Hogs and he started 17 games his senior season Keuchelrsquos 2009 Razorback team made a run in the Col-lege World Series before even-tually losing to the Louisiana State University Tigers

      F

      rkansas running back Alex Collins should be considered one of

      the best players in the South-eastern Conference

      Collins has produced more than 650 rushing yards while gaining more than 5 yards on every carry Hersquos on pace to rush for more than 1300 yards which would mark his third consecutive season to rush for more than 1000 yards

      COMMENTARY

      Austin AraujoStaff Reporter

      He yuml nished last season as the No 14 all-time leading rusher in school history If he continues his pace Collins will reach the third spot on that list

      Itrsquos a travesty that Collins isnrsquot consistently mentioned as one of the best runners in the SEC

      One of Collinsrsquo biggest rivals is Louisiana State Uni-versityrsquos Leonard Fournette Fournette started o slow against the University of South Carolina Gamecocks He yuml nished the yuml rst half with only 59 yards but he started the third quarter with a

      bang Fournette took a hand-o from the shotgun and zoomed his way to the end zone untouched He needed only one upyuml eld cut to score an 87-yard touchdown

      His touchdown was the type of statement the sopho-more running back who leads the NCAA in rushing yards needed to silence those who claim Fournettersquos early season success was because of his teamrsquos weak schedule

      It was a statement similar to the one Collins made last year against Texas Tech when he pulled o an 84-

      yard scamper to the end zone However Collins did that against a Red Raider defense that was not highly esteemed

      Fournettersquos 158 yards against South Carolina pushed his rushing total to more than 1000 yards in just yuml ve games this season He became the 10th player in Football Bowl Subdivision history to reach that total in yuml ve games ac-cording to ESPN

      Itrsquos easy to overlook Collinsrsquo superb play this season when a running back from a rival team is putting up historic numbers However that would be short cutting the perfor-

      mance of a player who has taken over the duties as the main running back for the yuml rst time in his career

      Collins has become the focus of a Razorback of-fense that is confused about its identity In 2014 the Hogs thrived on pound-ing their opponents with a ground game that punished and wore down defenses deg at rushing attack was built on the combination of Collins and Jonathan Wil-liams who rushed for more than 1100 yards last year deg is season Collins has been pushed into the solo

      A

      Alex Collins runs over the competition this seasonrole save for a few touches that have gone to freshman Rawleigh Williams

      Without the ability to rely on two talented running backs the Razorbacks are turning to an increasingly e ective passing attack Yet Collins is still on pace to obliterate his totals from last year

      Fans need to appreciate what theyrsquore seeing from Collins before he bolts for the NFL or count their lucky stars if he chooses to give it one more go in an Arkansas uniform

      Lady Hogs continue to struggle

      he UA soccer team dropped to 1-5-1 in Southeastern Con-

      ference play and 5-8-1 overall a er su ering close defeats to Ole Miss and Vanderbilt on Friday and Sunday respec-tively

      deg e Razorbacksrsquo matchup with Ole Miss ended with a gut-wrenching last-second goal in double overtime by Ole Miss defender Maddie Friedmann to give the Rebels a 2-1 victory

      deg e Rebels had the NCAA leader in game-winning goals in CeCe Kizer but it was Friedmann who put Ole Miss on top against the Hogs

      deg e other point for Ole Miss came when a Razorback

      player accidentally scored on her own goal in the 55th minute

      In the 64th minute Arkansas junior midyuml elder Rachel Riggs scored her yuml rst goal of the season to tie the game

      Claire Kelley and Reece Christopherson assisted on the goal which was a chip shot for Riggs a er Ole Miss goalkeeper Marnie Merritt fell down Razorback head coach Colby Hale said Riggsrsquo perfor-mance helped the Hogs down the stretch

      ldquoI thought she went in and added good minutes for usrdquo Hale said ldquoHonestly it wasnrsquot just the goal She did a few good things for usrdquo

      deg e Rebels had 16 shots on the night but freshman goalkeeper Jordan Harris ac-counted for eight saves

      deg e 1506 fans who attended the double-overtime thriller

      broke an attendance record at Razorback Field It was the yuml h-highest attendance in Razorback Field history Some of the crowd stayed a er the game to call the Hogs with the team and receive autographs from the players

      deg e team will bounce back from the loss and get better moving forward Hale said a er the game

      In the teamrsquos matchup against the Vanderbilt Com-modores the Razorbacks were unable to yuml nd the net in the 1-0 defeat

      Central Oklahoma scored three goals with le wing Gavin Hohl forward Sam Rice and center Landon Robin all getting in on the action Hohl and Rice each added an assist

      Tempers rose quickly and players from both teams were separated multiple times throughout the night Each team had at least three di er-ent players spend time in the penalty box

      Arkansas had trouble convert-ing power-play opportunities even when Central Oklahoma was down two players late in the third period During the power play Arkansas pulled Ecklund to add an additional scoring threat but a pass intercepted by Central Oklahoma forward Josh Wyatt led to an easy score on an unprotected goal

      deg e second game was similar to the yuml rst with Ar-kansas striking yuml rst behind a goal from le wing Luc Gradisar It was the yuml rst of Gradisarrsquos two goals on the night deg e other came in the second period

      Rice right wing Andrei Novikov center Michael Rivera and forward Donald Danroth all added goals for Central Oklahoma

      and the Razorback basket-ball team Anderson and his coaching staff are attempting to recruit top players who will put the team back in the national spotlight with marquee talent

      During the off eason Jacorey Williams Anton Beard and Dustin Thomas found themselves in legal trouble after police arrested them for allegedly using counterfeit money Williams was dismissed and Beard and Thomas were suspended from the team Beard and Thomas await trials and could be reinstated

      Arkansas also lost Ted Kapita one of the top recruits from the 2015 class who was ruled academically ineligible by NCAA offi als He will not be on campus for another year Kapita and fellow recruit Jimmy Whitt were the only ranked play-ers Anderson recruited last year With the departure of four of the teamrsquos leading scorers Kapita and Whitt were expected to fill produc-tion holes

      However many top re-cruits are still considering Arkansas

      Malik Monk the only five-star high school recruit in Arkansas has narrowed his list of schools to six The options include Arkansas Kentucky Oregon North Carolina Florida State and Kansas Arkansas and Kentucky are considered the favorites While Kentucky North Carolina and Kansas are perennial powerhouses Florida State has one of the best 2016 recruiting classes

      brother Marcus Monk played at Arkansas seven years ago as a receiver on the football team Monk also resides close to Fayetteville in Bentonville

      Monk is ranked fi h in the country and he would be the second five-star recruit in the state to choose the UofA over other options ac-cording to ESPN The other recruit was former Arkansas star Bobby Portis who led the team to its fi st NCAA Tournament bid since 2008

      Besides Monk Anderson has secured a commitment from two of the countryrsquos best junior college prospects in guards Daryl Macon and Jaylen Barford Macon from Holmes Community College in Mississippi averaged 23 points four rebounds and three assists a game

      Barford out of Motlow State Community College in Tennessee put up 20 points and five assists a game while grabbing seven boards Their scoring abilities should benefit the team when they make their way to Fayette-ville

      Jamal Johnson a 6-foot-4-inch shooting guard from the 2017 recruiting class could also play for Arkansas but he has yet to make a decision

        October to bring out basic tendencies in Fayetteville

        As I was standing in line for Starbucks a few days ago I heard an interesting exchange of words between two friends

        It went something along the lines of ldquoLike OMG Jes-sica the pumpkin spice latte is back itrsquos literally the best day ever Like wow ˜ is is literally like more important than anything like my life is maderdquo

        Listening to this conversa-tion I thought back to a meme I had seen on Reddit a few days ago ˜ e caption read ldquoBrace yourself October is comingrdquo At the time I did not fully understand the meme I thought it was referring to colder weather but it was not October is dideg erent from ev-ery other month in one very distinct way- October is the month of the basic girls

        Every basic girl you know loves to interject three things in any conversation you have with her e yuml rst is something

        about Starbucks and the sec-ond is something about how totally ldquosmashedrdquo she got last night at that one frat house ˜ e third is less of a speciyuml c thing and more the inappro-priate addition of the word lit-erally before something thatrsquos not really literal ˜ e month of October takes these topics and escalates them exponen-tially

        Starbucks brings back their pumpkin spice latte in the month of October To anyone with an IQ higher than that of a piece of bread the news of a new avor of latte at Starbucks would not be of any impor-tance However basic girls feed odeg this news ˜ ey feel they must tell everyone of this news because it is literally the only piece of news they have heard and it has to do with Starbucks

        Burnettrsquos is every basic girlsrsquo drink of choice Because Burnettrsquos knows the type of au-dience they are selling to they made one of the smartest de-cisions on the planet pump-kin spice avored Burnettrsquos I

        know you may be throwing up in your mouth right now but this vodka is what fuels basic-ness through the entire month of October It also fuels a lot of vomit that ends up outside of peoplersquos mouths

        Halloween is on Oct 31 Besides Kwanzaa Halloween is literally every basic girls favorite holiday Halloween is a special time of the year be-cause you can be both slutty and culturally insensitive without being judged ˜ is is big news for basic girls every-where because they love being both of those things

        ˜ e weather gets a little bit chillier in the month of octo-ber For me that is a bummer but for basic bitches that is equivalent to like four venti pumpkin spice lattes Cold-er weather means dressing warmer and dressing warmer means Uggs and leggings ˜ e yuml rst day the weather drops below 65 degrees a basic girls closet changes from norts and t-shirts to Uggs and leggings and oversized Patagonias

        ˜ e cooler weather of Oc-

        tober also kicks odeg ldquocu ng seasonrdquo wherein the increased necessity of spending time indoors causes normally pro-miscuous people to feel the crushing loneliness caused by watching Net ix with no sig-niyuml cant other ˜ ey then wish they were ldquocudeg edrdquo or tied down by a serious relation-ship

        October is a month full of fascinating transitions ˜ e weather becomes a little bit colder and the leaves begin to change colors As the leaves change normal collegiate women change too Some girls stay unadeg ected but oth-ers canrsquot help being sucked into the void of basic-ness As more foods and drinks are in-fused with pumpkin avored syrups more and more girls are infused with a basic state of mind Brace yourselves Ra-zorbacks October is here

        Most of the polling done from Whatsgoodly is focused on ranking Greek life in some form Questions abound as to which houses are the best at any number of things from

        where to party to where to watch the game--though sci-ence has little to say about the actual dideg erence in these two things

        A er the Hogs faced odeg against Alabama last Saturday talk of the game was rampant on the app As always the Razorbacks were able to give we the faithful just enough hope that a vic-tory could be eked out and then reality came and hit us back

        ˜ e top game related poll read ldquoWhat should I do a er that gamerdquo No clear-cut winner could be decided as respondents to the poll felt it was equally time to ldquodrinkrdquo and ldquobe real it wasnrsquot that surprisingrdquo

        Whatsgoodly also serves as an outlet for students to voice their problems with a pesky roommate or friend

        49 of respondents in a poll about common room-mate annoyances noted their roommates ldquoleave their studeg all over the roomrdquo

        Coming up this week midterms are set to be the bane of existence to many students on campus ˜ e lack of sleep and over ow of stress in this instance has caused one particular student to voice their concerns in the form of a Whatsgoodly poll ldquoAre you go-ing to pass your midterms this weekrdquo it reads

        47 of respondents report that they have no way of pass-ing their midterms while an-other 24 of the student body represented by Whatsgoodly believes theyrsquore likely to pass but owe that success to the study drug Adderall A poll seeking information on what percent of UA students are actually prescribed the drug

        remains relatively unanswered as of press time

        Although it seems that the app is mainly dominated by non-critical questions regard-ing girls sports or Greek life the concept of the app itself holds real merit Instead of the same old rankings of sororities or a poll exclaiming that a de-rogatory word precede before Pike real applications could come from the app Students could gauge how hard a test was or yuml nd out which particu-lar party on campus was ldquopop-pinrsquordquo that night Whatsgoodly may not be able to be a voice for all students on campus but it could be a useful feature in driving student opinion and gauging interest for all

        Being trapped in a two dimensional worldHow curating our identities online can cause us to miss whatrsquos real

        Wersquore all aware that a picture is worth a thousand words but a real object is worth an inyuml nite amount of pictures Given that three-di-mensional objects consist of an inyuml nite amount of planes itrsquos technically impossible to fully represent that ob-ject with a two-dimensional image But taking a stroll through the photo albums of your friends makes it appar-ent that this near-impossible feat has been attempted

        What is the purpose of tak-ing all these pictures People are armed with smartphones many of which have a quick-swipe method of immediately accessing the camera ready to shoot any novelty that may emerge in their sight I donrsquot think the purpose is to re-

        member Since you canrsquot real-ly watch and aim the camera at the same time itrsquos probable that yoursquore watching what-ever it is through the medium of the viewyuml nder So much is lost in this two dimensional by-product Whatever mem-ory you create even though itrsquos permanent is smaller than life

        I think itrsquos a lot easier to construct a reality from pic-tures given that they are a two-dimensional slice of an inyuml nitely dense context Mi-chelle Orange puts her yuml nger on it when she says ldquoItrsquos more about representing a certain reality than remembering it although looking through carefully curated Facebook albums one o en senses the longing of the subject to re-member herself the way she would have others dordquo

        ˜ e point isnrsquot necessary to tell half-truths to others

        but to create truths for our-selves We are able to take a million photos of our life and then hand select a few of them a erwards By doing this we create our own nar-rative Itrsquos not like the photos are lies but they have been taken out of their context and re-strung together in the ways that we choose ˜ e awkward and boring moments between them that werenrsquot photo-graphed donrsquot have to be in-cluded

        Given the centrality of so-cial networking in our lives wersquove been able to turn these uncaptured moments into hearsay If itrsquos not recorded then it didnrsquot necessarily happen ˜ is has proven to be extremely useful for us in brushing aside moments that donrsquot yuml t nicely into the real-ity wersquove constructed for our-selves But it goes both ways ˜ is process has turned into a

        source of anxiety for us be-cause if something happens that we would like to incor-porate into this digital self-image it has to be captured to be of use We are the curators of our own life gallery a task that requires indeyuml nite atten-tion

        ˜ is is not meant to be a pessimistic indictment of our generationrsquos identity games Only in extreme cases do people feel the need to com-pletely construct themselves into their ideal silhouettes But we must always be wary of mistaking the map for the territory Even the most pro-digiously adorned proyuml le only scratches the surface of the three-dimensional human being behind it

        Columbus Day˜ e holiday set to expire

        Monday was Columbus Day I did not know it was Columbus Day until the end which shows you how much importance I place on Co-lumbus Day I do not care that it happened and I only care that I found out I missed it because it provided me with something to have an opinion on

        Columbus may or may not have actually found America and even if he did he was only American in the sense that he came onto someone elsersquos land and immediately claimed it as his own declared it needed saving and then went about angering all the locals who were blissfully unaware they needed so much help

        I do not know if Columbus arrived on the Santa Maria the El Nino or the third ship but I hope he didnrsquot bring all three ships the yuml rst time he went exploring because it would seem counterintuitive to put hundreds of human beings on boats and then sail into the blue beyond without an itinerary

        Celebrating Columbus Day is like celebrating a day called ldquoInciting Incident Dayrdquo where you celebrate a thing done by a person that gave another thing the possibility of existence many hundreds of years later ˜ e America established on July 4 1776 had little to do with Colum-bus other than that he acci-dentally stumbled onto a very nice piece of land

        If we want to keep cel-ebrating Columbus Day we should institute a ldquoBig Bang Dayrdquo where we celebrate the creation of the Universe as the event that would one day al-low all of us to exist

        ˜ erersquos an interesting shi happening where local gov-ernments and even entire states have been pushing to rebrand Columbus Day as In-digenous Peoples Day

        On Monday here on cam-pus a key to the city of Fay-etteville was presented to Nobel Peace Prize laureate Rigoberta Menchu who cam-

        paigns for the rights of indige-nous peoples across the world Her work in indigenous and womenrsquos rights and cultural reconciliation make Menchu a yuml tting yuml gure to hold a key to our wonderful city

        ˜ e move to rebrand Co-lumbus Day is one that I am in no way opposed to It seems yuml tting actually to give a single day of the 365 available to us to celebrate the entire popula-tion who lived on this conti-nent before it was discovered colonized ravaged by disease converted to Christianity and nearly wiped of budeg alo which would be the absolute pinna-cle of shame

        I donrsquot know how many of you have seen a budeg alo in person but they are immense majestic creatures with a right to live as important as ours ˜ ey are nothing like cattle and should be turned into neither burgers nor chaps for bikers ˜ ey carry in their chests the spirit of the old world One look into their eyes and you can feel a free-dom lost on modernity cours-ing through your veins

        Indigenous Peoples Day would be more appropriate than Inciting Incident Day in that it would give needed credence to a group of people who are almost entirely mar-ginalized in America today

        America once it was actu-ally America took notice that there had been people here before this piece of land be-came the greatest piece of land on earth and so we gave to those people relatively small sections of said land stepped back and said ldquowow this is perfect reconciliatory action for forcing your peoplersquos mi-gration you may have this square of land and the ability to build casinos upon itrdquo

        I support entirely the move to rebrand Columbus Day ˜ ough I know little about Columbus I can see how one might view his land-ing in what would someday be America as the veritable beginning of some sort of cultural genocide where the rights and wishes of an entire people were trampled under the foot of the white man like a herd of budeg alo before a thunderstorm

        ldquoMaking the Travelerrsquos Journey Worthwhilerdquo

        Meat-eating on campus is often limited to chicken strips hamburgers and the occasional pork chop

        Aside from a rare plate of venison or fish Fayetteville restaurants serve mostly the same types of meat How-ever not a single one of these American staples can be found on the menu of Fayettevillersquos newest eatery Herb-n-Elk

        Created by Nomads Mu-sic Lounge owners Jeremy Brown and Brittany Cusanek the restaurant specializes in atypical meats like crawfish and elk Cusanek hopes to serve bison and catfish in the future she said

        ldquoMy thought was that wersquore in Arkansas so letrsquos pull from what naturally would be liv-ing here what you would go out and hunt if you had to go get it yourselfrdquo Cusanek said

        The menursquos originality has several health benefits All of Herb-n-Elkrsquos dishes are at least partially organic and

        wholly sustainable Cusanek said

        ldquoYou think about all the other restaurants and what theyrsquore serving these three meat options and theyrsquore very highly processed factory farmedrdquo Cusanek said ldquoAnd so wersquore trying to get away from thatrdquo

        The restaurantrsquos elk meat comes from a certifi d or-ganic farm in Kansas Brown said The meat is not over-processed like chicken and beef can often be because the USDA has imposed stricter regulations for organic meats like elk and bison

        Herb-n-Elkrsquos grand open-ing was Oct 2 but the res-taurant was open for about a week before that ldquojust to kind of work out the kinks and see where we need to berdquo Brown said

        The grand opening was successful but since then business has been a bit slow Cusanek said The restaurant is tucked into the back cor-ner of the Metro District on Spring Street so it can be hard to fi d especially because the business is new and not well-known Cusanek said

        ldquoAnd we donrsquot want to blow uprdquo Brown said ldquoA lot of places will have too much PR about their grand opening and then they crash because they didnrsquot do it right hellip We just want to do it right the fi st timerdquo

        ldquoDoing it rightrdquo is defi-nitely a priority for Herb-n-Elkrsquos owners All of the food is made in small batches from fresh and locally-sourced in-gredients

        If the kitchen sells out of a certain ingredient or meal itrsquos out for the night because they donrsquot over-process food Brown said

        ldquoWersquore having a dinner party every night and yoursquove got to be the fi st to get hererdquo Cusanek said

        The inspiration for the res-taurant came from a trip that Cusanek and Brown took to Colorado over the summer While they were there they ate a delicious elk burger that made them start thinking about the possibilities for a special restaurant in Fayette-ville Cusanek said

        Brown is inspired by chefs like Jamie Oliver and others ldquowho are trying to expose

        food educationrdquo he said ldquoIt doesnrsquot have to be fried and it doesnrsquot have to be full of GMOs and fake ingredientsrdquo

        However the restaurant is about more than just pro-moting a healthy diet Herb-n-Elkrsquos menu is proof that Brown and Cusanek are seri-ous about boosting other lo-cal businesses Several local beers are on tap representing Columbus House Brewery Apple Blossom Brewing Co and Ozark Beer Company Brown said The Bourbon Rose cocktail features tea from Alchemy Macarons Also on tap there are brews from Missouri Oklahoma and Colorado Brown said

        Herb-n-Elkrsquos menu fea-tures several vegetarian meals like beet sliders Sriracha

        hummus and salads as well as comfort foods like hush puppies an elk meatloaf and burger and crawfish pasta Cusanek said that she often puts crawfish where lobster would usually be and elk where a dish would normally feature beef She said she is toying with the idea of bison meatballs

        Along with such an in-triguing menu comes appre-hension from customers

        Brown said that 12 cus-tomers came in during Bikes Blues amp BBQ and were disap-pointed that a regular ham-burger wasnrsquot on the menu In the end they were unwilling to try the elk burger and they left ithout eating

        ldquoPeople are a little bit hesi-tant because theyrsquore so used

        to beefrdquo Cusanek said ldquoThey know they like it so they stick with itrdquo

        Students had strong opin-ions about Herb-n-Elkrsquos menu

        ldquoTherersquos no way I would put that in my mouthrdquo soph-omore Natalie Oliver said

        Others were more willing to try new things

        ldquoIt sounds gross but I would be willing to try itrdquo ju-nior Megan Grajeda said

        Herb-n-Elkrsquos owners are counting on this open-mind-edness Their goal is to edu-cate people about sustainable health-conscious food so that obesity and other health is-sues can be eradicated

        ldquoYou donrsquot know if you like something unless yoursquove tried itrdquo Cusanek said

        New Restaurant Serves Elk Crawfish Entrees

        Fayetteville has given rise to a trending local band that has begun to turn the heads and capture the attention of students and music lovers alike The bandrsquos unortho-dox origin began only a few months ago

        Renfrowrsquos members met at a local studio under the same producer and quickly decided to pursue the shared dream of playing and producing music as a band

        ldquoWe are passionate about itrdquo Hayden Renfrow lead vo-calist and guitarist said ldquoWe all had our sights set on a mu-sic career and we love doing itrdquo

        The band brings an inter-esting dynamic with mem-bers all under the age of 25

        ldquoWe are young but that does not mean we are not goodrdquo Hayden Renfrow said

        Renfrow consists of four members Hayden Renfrow 21 Reagan Renfrow 16 Gar-rison Burgess 19 and recent UA graduate Dave Matthews 23 Hayden Renfrow attended the university before drop-ping out to engage the music industry

        Burgess also attended the UofA studying music educa-tion before joining the band full time Hayden and Rea-gan the bandrsquos bass guitarist are also brothers

        ldquoI would rather put time and effort into a music career because that is what I know I want to dordquo Renfrow said

        All four members live to-

        gether and practice in their house in Bentonville

        They were able to convert their living room into a music room allowing them plenty of space to practice with the full band Hayden Renfrow said

        Renfrow has also used the Fellowship Bible Church re-hearsal room to gain a better feel for how live shows will actually work

        The band is occasionally accompanied on stage by the Renfrowrsquos sister Hayley Ren-frow who fills the backup vo-cals and plays the piano

        Renfrow recently played its fi st small gig at a Fayette-ville coffee shop Mama Car-menrsquos on College Avenue The bar was filled with eager fans and locals who enjoyed the music and liveliness of the band

        ldquoThe band had impressive talent they covered songs very well and made you want to stay and listen morerdquo freshman William Votsmeir said

        The band has already ex-perienced several challeng-es since its beginning five months ago

        It was important for the band to work things out and establish unity and share a common vision and goal the members said

        Also having a high school student as a band member makes things interesting Hayden Renfrow said that he may be 16 but he acts like a 21 year old most of the time

        Renfrow has taken on the identity and genre of a singer-songwriter and blues and is comparable to John Mayer

        and Ben Rector who is an-other rising music star and alumnus of the UofA

        ldquoThey donrsquot have a weak player at any instrumentrdquo sophomore Daniel Matthews said ldquoI really enjoyed their songs they perform liverdquo

        Dave Matthews backup electric guitarist for Renfrow said ldquoIt has given me not only friends to play music with

        but friends who know me and support and encourage merdquo

        Renfrowrsquos music can be found on iTunes Spotify and Amazon

        Upon release of their fi st album Renfrowrsquos fi st EP ldquoSailsrdquo already reached the top 10 on singer-songwriter genres on iTunes

        Renfrow said they will re-main in northwest Arkansas

        for now however they have aspirations of one day mov-ing to Nashville Tennessee or Los Angeles

        The band plans to raise money and establish a fi m fan base here in Fayetteville before leaving Renfrow said they have the skill to do it and they know what it takes to make it in the music industry All they have to do is put in the work and effort

        Renfrow will return to per-form a free show at Mama Carmenrsquos Thursday evening Renfrow will also play a Ben-efit Concert at the UofA for the Rwanda Release

        More information about the band can be found on its website at renfrowmusiccom Anyone interested can also fol-low Renfrow on Instagram and Twitter at Renfrowmusic

        Brendon Glidden wiped a bead of sweat from his upper brow and nervously took a sip of water A million thoughts went through his head as he stepped up to the counter

        Donrsquot screw this up Ten minutes on the clock to brew this cup You got this

        Glidden a certifi d barista and head of research and de-velopment for Onyx Coffee Lab in Fayetteville attended the Specialty Coffee Associa-tion of America Event ndash or the ldquoSCAA Eventrdquo as the competi-tors call it ndash in Seattle last year He left the rest of his team at SCAA to compete at the third annual United States Aero-Press Championship

        The AeroPress a manual coffee brewer more common in Europe than in the United States brews coffee in 20-40 seconds according to the of-fic al AeroPress website As Glidden explained the brewer is not that big of a deal in the US but it has its own follow-ing

        In this bracket-style com-petition Glidden had to cre-ate a simple recipe using the coffee the competition panel provide the perfect tempera-ture ratio of water and pres-sure and from there brew the best cup of coffee

        Before the competition Glidden created a simple rec-ipe for a collaboration he had worked on with retail com-pany Fayettechill He crafted the recipe to brew coffee while camping and it did not re-quire fancy tools but instead translated into scoops

        ldquo(At Onyx) we would never measure in scoops It is wildly inaccuraterdquo Glidden said ldquoBut that recipe is exactly what I used in the competi-tionrdquo

        Upon his arrival to the United States AeroPress Championship Gliddenrsquos nerves caught up to him While the other participants indulged in the beer provided by vendors Glidden stuck to water

        ldquoThere I was by myself in a room full of people mdash people Irsquod heard of and I knew had done wellrdquo he said ldquoI was ner-vous and alone hoping Irsquod do well toordquo

        Itrsquos super simple to do just replicate your recipe here Donrsquot screw this up

        Glidden 23 moved to Fayetteville from Fort Smith in 2012 with an associatersquos degree in computer-aided drafting and design and a goal to work for Pixar which he abandoned because it was too stressful he said

        He also had three years of experience working at Sweet Bay Coffee Co in Fort Smith

        ldquoInitially the job was just fun I wasnrsquot really into coffee I could have just worked at a smoothie shop and had the same level of interestrdquo he said

        He started working at Onyx in Fayetteville in sum-mer 2013 and during his time

        there learned he does not just brew coffee he crafts t

        ldquoI didnrsquot know pour-over coffee existed I didnrsquot know good coffee until I fully dis-covered that coffee is a craftrdquo he said ldquoThat was after I ab-sorbed the industry It was in-credibly eye-openingrdquo

        Because he had never com-peted before he practiced in Fayetteville with his own tools ndash one being a Refractometer a $500 device that measures the impurities in water ndash and coffee The contest supplied the brand of coffee to every competitor on the West Coast but because Glidden was com-ing from Arkansas he was not able to practice with it In-stead he had to fi d a similar type of coffee to practice with

        He showed up to the event which was about two miles away from SCAA and as-sumed there would be a prac-tice round to see how it would be run There was not but the judges allowed Glidden and a few other baristas from out of town to practice And then the competition began

        With their names written on the bottoms of their cups no one ndash not even the judges ndash knew which cup was which By the end of the fi st round the judges had blindly tasted each cup counted to three and pointed unanimously to a cup in front of them

        ldquoI thought I was out I thought lsquoYep thatrsquos it Irsquom done Irsquom out of my leaguersquordquo and then I found out the cup was mine and I was moving on to the next roundrdquo Glidden said ldquoBy the last round it was comfortable because the three of us knew we were placing We had made itrdquo

        Glidden ended up winning second place met Alan Adler inventor of the AeroPress and scored many coffee-associat-ed prizes as well as fame for Onyx Glidden and the two other winners Andrew Bet-tis in third place and Jeremy Moore in fi st came from the South Bettis and Moore came from Tennessee

        ldquoUsually in that coffee culture you expect (the win-ners) to live on the coast somewhere where the coffee is more of a thingrdquo Glidden said with a playful smirk on his face ldquoWe killed all these West Coast guysrdquo

        Onyx is the only shop in town with ldquolabrdquo in its title in Fayetteville and for good rea-son too There is more science to brewing the perfect cup of coffee than one might think

        ldquoAt times it seems obnox-ious just to get a cup of cof-fee but it all mattersrdquo Glidden said ldquoSome of it is way too science-yrdquo he said as he went on to talk about pH levels in water

        Glidden works the bar at Onyx two days a week but he is a full-time employee He focuses a good amount of his time on coming up with new concoctions for the seasonal drink menu for which he cre-ated his proudest achievement thus far the award-winning Srsquomores Gibraltar Th s drink has been featured on various coffee blogs and websites as well as magazines around Ar-kansas

        Dylan Siemens head baris-ta trainer at Onyx has worked with Glidden for two years

        ldquoBrendon is a really en-thusiastic and creative person about really all things coffeerdquo

        An Ozark Mountain stu-dent retreat camp is under construction 40 miles east of Fayetteville

        Rick Bailey who graduated from the UofA with a degree in mechanical engineering in the 1970s is constructing this camp on a plot of land located atop a mountain in Madison County A er spending 30 years in the oil and engineer-ing industry Bailey said he felt led to exit the business world and begin investing in peoplersquos lives

        ldquoI knew I was too old to be hired by Kanakukrdquo Bailey said ldquoso I took my savings le the oil industry and be-gan to develop a camp on a smaller scale and odeg er this camp to student and youth group organizationsrdquo

        In uenced greatly by his love for the outdoors Bailey stumbled upon 120 acres of land for sale and quickly pur-chased it

        ldquo˝ e camp has been in the works since January 2009rdquo Bailey said ldquoRight a er the big ice storm hitrdquo

        Noticing the fallen limbs and lumber that was scat-tered across the property a er his new purchase Bailey said he began to chop down dead trees and collect the wood that had already fallen to cre-ate a clearing for his camp

        A er catching a vision Bailey planned to use this wood he acquired on his land to build the camp from the ground up Bailey teamed up with several of his mules to drag the trees he cut into large piles to use later Shortly a er this commitment Bailey said he bought a sawmill and began to mill the tree trunks he had cut into usable lumber

        to construct the cabins on the campgrounds ˝ en began the long process of laying concrete foundations build-ing the concrete piers and as-sembling the log cabins from the wood he cut

        Since the beginning of the construction of this student camp Bailey said he has con-structed about 23 himself As word got out among the locals in the neighboring counties Bailey began to have people volunteer and help him build the camp

        ˝ ough still under con-struction Bailey has managed to erect three cabins several barns and sheds for storage his own house on the prop-erty and is building a large dining hall overlooking the valley

        ldquoIt is not the nicest place ever but it has come a long way since I was last out there a year agordquo junior Mason Les-ter said

        Bailey has many future vi-sions for the camp and has a variety of improvements and new additions he plans to incorporate in the camp he said ˝ e yuml rst of these addi-tions is boxing certain por-tions of the camp in glass in order to provide protection from the elements yet at the same time decreasing any type of barrier between hu-mans and nature

        Baileyrsquos most recent ac-quisition of land he said gave him access to 11 acres of White River property to serve as a swimming hole and al-low for opportunities to teach kayaking classes

        Bailey has built several ropes courses with various degrees of di culty Bailey said that he owns $10000 worth of paintball equipment for guests to use and play with at their leisure Also a profes-sional archery course is in the making Bailey said for ar-

        chers to come practice as well as for beginners to learn A BB gun range is being built to accommodate for the 30 guns Bailey owns Rock climbing and repelling practice is also a future addition Bailey said

        ldquoI am a proponent of edu-cationrdquo Bailey said ldquoWe have areas where geology students would thrive fossils in rocks bludeg lines on the river and much morerdquo

        Future additions also in-clude a skeet shooting range a combat pistol range con-cealed handgun license train-ing a yuml sh pond guided squir-rel hunts a pavilion and a sports and recreation area

        ldquo˝ is isnrsquot just a summer to summer camp but a weekend camprdquo Bailey said

        Bailey is open to have any type of group or organiza-tion to his property for a fun getaway whether it be for a bachelor party a faith-based group a fraternity or soror-ity get together family bond-ing or simply a class of nature loving students and their pro-fessor It is a great place to get away and experience the won-ders of nature Bailey said

        Stephen Billings a stadeg member a part of Student Mobilization or StuMo re-cently made a trip to Baileyrsquos camp for a menrsquos retreat

        ldquoIt was awesomerdquo he said ldquoRick was a huge blessing and helped us out with ev-erything Our crew got to get away from all distractions and focus on areas of growth and had a great timerdquo

        Bailey said he has built the camp with his own money because he wants to give oth-ers the chance to experience creation ˝ ough he does not charge a group to come out and stay and use his facilities and equipment Bailey said he would appreciate any dona-tions the visitors give

        ldquoIt was a great place to escape and rechargerdquo sopho-more Daniel Shimer said

        ˝ e camp is not fee-based and runs solely odeg the dona-tions he receives and Baileyrsquos own money Bailey said

        ldquoWe plan on going back next yearrdquo Billings said

        new retreat camp under construction

        Fair chase is the ethical and lawful pursuit of wild game that does not give the hunter an im-proper advantage over the ani-mals according to the Boone and Crockett Club founded by ˝ eodore Roosevelt and others in 1887

        ldquoOur relationship with the land in the city is no dideg erent than someone who reaps all or some of his resources from the wild but he or she can become unaware of where his steak dinner came fromrdquo said Per-rin Partee co-owner of Partee Land and Timber Partee has a hunting club on the land that his lumber business is on

        Other students at the UofA who hunt said that they have heard about game wardens in the area running a tight shi in Arkansas making sure that il-legal hunting does not happen

        ldquoGame wards are pretty on top of poachingrdquo junior bow hunter Samuel Colton said

        ldquo˝ ey will hear shots pass shooting times or out of season and they will check it out It is pretty hard to get away with do-ing anything like that here in Arkansasrdquo he said

        ldquoJust as any other social group has bad and good mem-bers hunting has its share of people who are conscious and well aware of ecological con-cerns and who are notrdquo Partee said

        ldquoA little bad publicity should not ruin it for everyonerdquo Colton said

        Krementz mentioned that there are many groups and or-ganizations encouraging chil-dren to hunt and enjoy wildlife

        ldquoShooting sports in high schools is a huge dealrdquo Kre-mentz said

        ldquoPart of that notion is that well if we can get kids to be-come familiar with shooting sports they will be more likely to go into hunting and yuml shing so they will start purchasing licenses which help with the management of wildlife and yuml sheries in our staterdquo Krement-ez said

        enior cross country run-ner Dominique Scott has done it all

        She is a two-time winner of the Southeastern Conference Runner of the Year award and a two-time NCAA All-American She also has seven individual titles

        But this season Scott is striv-ing toward another goal

        ldquoMy biggest goal of the year is to be a team leader and to be a role modelrdquo Scott said

        ldquoWe have a really young group of girls this year I just want to make sure I set a good example for them and give back to the team because when I was younger there were a lot of good leaders on the teamrdquo

        Coach Lance Harter has nothing but praise for his star runner

        ldquoShersquos tremendousrdquo Harter said ldquoShe talks to the under-classmen and shersquos a great leaderrdquo

        Though the team has several

        freshman Scott said she is looking to capitalize on the teamrsquos fi h-place fin sh at the end of last season

        ldquoMy goal for the team is to be top 10 this yearrdquo Scott said ldquoIf this young team can go in be confide t take the bull by the horns and embrace the oppor-tunity we can accomplish itrdquo

        It helps that the team has the No 1 runner in the country who already won her fi st meet of the season Oct 3 at the Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival

        Scott ranked second coming into the season but after her fi st-place fin sh she moved into the top spot

        ldquoIrsquom at the level now that I enjoy the pressurerdquo Scott said ldquoPressure either breaks people or it makes them rise to the oc-

        casion Hopefully I can rise to the occasion but rankings are just numbers on a page People are just guessing on themrdquo

        Scott said she wasnrsquot totally surprised by the honor She fin shed track season last year by placing second in both the 10K and the 5K

        ldquoMost people canrsquot do bothrdquo

        Scott said ldquoItrsquos like a double suicide You get one day of rest in betweenrdquo

        If success is based on how much an athlete trains then itrsquos no surprise that Scott is a dominant runner

        On average Scott runs 75 miles a week but she reduces that to 60 miles a week prior racing Those numbers are without running Sundays

        While running Scott is unfazed by any dist-

        Razorback Dominique Scott earns top SEC runner of the year again

        ldquoIrsquom very focusedrdquo Scott said ldquoPeople often say lsquoDid you hear me cheeringrsquo And Irsquoll say lsquoOh yeah I didrsquo but I really didnrsquot because everything is blocked out Itrsquos like a tunnelrdquo

        Harter said he knows that Scott has the tools and determination to win at nationals a personal goal of Scott during her last year of eligibility

        ldquoShe has very high goals and very high expectations so we try to help her notch it up another level so she can achieve themrdquo Harter said

        After her eligibility expires Scott has her eyes on running professionally The 2020 Tokyo Olympics is a realistic goal and it is something Scott has dreamed about since she was a little girl she said

        The season will begin Feb 19 against Central Michigan University

        The Razorbacks will play 16 of their fi st 19 games at Baum Stadium as well as 19 of their 26 nonconference games

        Fans in central Arkansas can watch the team play April 12 when the Razorbacks take on the University of Louisiana-Monroe at Dickey-Stephens Park in North Little Rock

        Q Is it time the Ra-zorbacks look else-where at the quar-terback position

        Alex No matter how bad Brandon Allen may seem in the fourth quarter he still has the most experience under center The next best option is a guy who has only attempted 18 passes in his career BA is still our guy until the end of the season

        Andrew Allen is the only capable quarterback on the roster right now The fact that hersquos even kept the Razorbacks competitive is crazy consider-ing how many offensive players are injured

        Austin Whatrsquos the point Even if Allen wasnrsquot the best option which he is benching him would only lead to confli t within the team It would signal the end of the coaching staff rsquos hopes for the season too

        Chandler Replace him with whom Allen is the best option available so there is no other reason to look elsewhere

        Leonce Fans have to un-derstand that there isnrsquot anyone on the roster who can do what Allen has been doing this sea-son He is the best option right now If Bret Bielema wanted to lose his job which I know he doesnrsquot he would bench Allen Itrsquos nonsense

        Pete If the Razorbacks are knocked out of bowl contention they should look elsewhere Ty Storey and Rafe Peavey are playmakers and thatrsquos something Razorback fans havenrsquot seen in a quarter-back since Matt Jones Letrsquos be honest Allen is absolutely replaceable at quarterback

        Tye No but that changes if the Razorbacks lose enough games to be knocked out of bowl contention If that happens Allen should be benched

        Traveler Staff Mid-Season Round Table Discussion

        Q Will the Razor-backs ever make the College Foot-ball Playoff under Bielema

        Alex Yes they will Arkan-sas has the talent and will have the quarterback play in the future to lead this team to the playoffs u der Bielema

        Andrew The Razorbacks wonrsquot make the CFP as long as theyrsquore in the Southeastern Conference and canrsquot recruit as well as other teams A team needs more than coaching to win the SEC let alone play in the CFP

        Austin No one expected coach Bielema to lead Ar-kansas to the CFP in his fi st three years Theyrsquoll make it eventually because the top SEC teams are always likely to have at least a loss or two on their record which could provide the Razorbacks with a window to nab an SEC title

        Chandler As long as the Razorbacks are in the SEC no Coach Bielema is a fantastic coach but the SEC is on an-other level

        Leonce I doubt it Arkansas just doesnrsquot possess the appeal of LSU Alabama and Texas AampM in the SEC West Itrsquoll be too tough to recruit top-tier talent to make the playoff I sincerely hope Irsquom wrong but I donrsquot see the Razorbacks winning 11 games and winning the SEC to make the playoff

        Pete Yes I really like the vision Bielema has for the team With teams lean-ing more and more toward spreading the fi ld Bielema is still determined to build an old-school team that may be tough for opposing defenses It all depends on if he stays long enough to see his vision carried out

        Tye Simple answer No

        ldquoPressure either breaks people or it makes them rise to the occasion Hope-fully I can rise to the occasion but rank-

        ings are just numbers on a pagerdquoDominique Scott

        Q The Razor-backs are 2-4 Will they become bowl eligible this season

        Alex Yes they will Winning at home will make the Razorbacks eligible for a bowl game Who knows Maybe theyrsquoll play Texas again and wersquoll have a repeat of last season

        AndrewThe Razor-backs will miss a bowl game because of their early season blunders Therersquos always next year

        Austin The Hogs should just squeak into bowl eligibility to give the seniors and fans one last look at the team

        Chandler Yes Wins over Auburn UT-Martin Mississippi State and Missouri will get the Razorbacks to a bowl

        Leonce Yes but barely The Hogs will break even and sneak into the postseason They need to make sure they donrsquot slip up at home for the rest of the season because a road win will be tough

        Pete If the defense continues to play as well as it did against Alabama then the Hogs might be able to save the season from being a total disaster and make a bowl game

        Tye Yes The defen-sive players will come alive just as they did late last year The surge in the defense will pro-pel the Razorbacks to a second-consecutive bowl under Bielema

        Q What will Arkan-sas record be at the end of the season Who will they lose to Who will they beat

        Alex Arkansas will go 6-6 and lose to Louisiana State University and Ole Miss Auburn and Mississippi State will be close games but the Razorbacks will fi d a way to win

        Andrew The Hogs will fin sh 5-7 Wins over Tennes-see Auburn and Missouri will be the highlights of Arkansasrsquo season

        Austin The Razorbacks will fin sh with a 5-7 record and fin sh the year with a win over Missouri after Thanks-giving Auburn is looking vulnerable and the Razor-backs should be able to strike after coming off a ye week The University of Tennessee-Martin will be a much-needed cupcake on homecoming and provide the Hogs with a win

        Chandler Outside of LSU and Ole Miss the Razorbacks will be at home the rest of the season Mississippi State will be challenging but I expect the Razorbacks to win all of their home games and go 6-6

        Leonce I believe the team will go 6-6 with road losses against LSU and Ole Miss I also have faith that the Hogs will improve defensively and possibly pull an upset on the road against one of the two teams

        Pete The defense will have to carry the struggling offense if the Razorbacks are going to fin sh the season 6-6 Ole Miss and LSU are too tough especially on the road

        Tye Arkansas will fin sh 6-6 The Hogs will have wins over Auburn UT-Martin Mississippi State and Mis-souri

        PRO HOGS Vol VII

        ormer Razorback pitcher Dallas Keuchel

        pitched his way to a vic-tory Sunday in the Houston Astrosrsquo third game against the Kansas City Royals in the American League Division Series

        In a 4-2 victory over Kansas City Keuchel pitched seven innings and gave up yuml ve hits He gave up a home run to centeryuml elder Lorenzo Cain in the fourth inning but it was the only run scored on Keuchel during the game

        deg e pitcher threw 124 pitches and struck out seven batters before being relieved by Tony Sipp

        Prior to that performance Keuchel helped the Astros punch a ticket to the series a er an impressive perfor-mance on the mound in the teamrsquos wild-card matchup against the New York Yan-kees

        Keuchelrsquos dominating play against the Yankees in the Astrosrsquo 3-0 victory was not the pitcherrsquos yuml rst great show-ing this season deg e pitcher had a mind-blowing 15-0 record in Houston during the regular season and he yuml n-ished the regular season with a 20-8 record as he willed his team into the postseason

        Going into the wild-card game the Astros and the Yankees were the two teams in the MLB that were most dependent on home runs deg e teams scored nearly half their runs because of the long ball

        Going up against veteran sluggers Alex Rodriguez and Carlos Beltran on the road was no small task for Keuchel who was playing in his yuml rst postseason environ-ment deg e Astros had not played in the postseason since 2005 when the organi-zation was crowned National League champion

        Andrew EppersonStaff Reporter

        Keuchel anchors AstrosInstead of crumbling

        under the pressure at Yankee Stadium against arguably the most successful team in MLB history Keuchel pitched a performance for the ages and turned the sports world upside down

        In six innings Keuchel gave up only three hits and a walk deg e ace did not commit a single error and 54 of his 87 pitches were strikes Keuchel struck out seven batters be-fore he was relieved by Sipp

        Keuchel faced the Yankees twice during the regular sea-son and won both times In June the pitcher struck out 12 batters in the Astrosrsquo shutout victory over the Yankees In August Keuchel pitched for seven scoreless innings and struck out nine Yankee batters

        A er his impressive regular season most experts believe the American League Cy Young race is between Keuchel and Toronto Blue Jays pitcher David Price deg e Cy Young Award is given to the best pitcher in each league

        Keuchelrsquos breakout season was somewhat unexpected because the pitcher earned a 12-9 record as a starting pitcher last season While many experts predicted he would have a solid year almost no one expected Keuchel to rise to the top of the American League

        When the le y won his 14th consecutive home start he set the franchise record for most consecutive home victories deg e record was previously set by Danny Darwin in 1990

        Before being dra ed by the Astros in the seventh round of the 2009 dra Keuchel played at Arkansas for three seasons He ended his college career with a 19-9 record for the Hogs and he started 17 games his senior season Keuchelrsquos 2009 Razorback team made a run in the Col-lege World Series before even-tually losing to the Louisiana State University Tigers

        F

        rkansas running back Alex Collins should be considered one of

        the best players in the South-eastern Conference

        Collins has produced more than 650 rushing yards while gaining more than 5 yards on every carry Hersquos on pace to rush for more than 1300 yards which would mark his third consecutive season to rush for more than 1000 yards

        COMMENTARY

        Austin AraujoStaff Reporter

        He yuml nished last season as the No 14 all-time leading rusher in school history If he continues his pace Collins will reach the third spot on that list

        Itrsquos a travesty that Collins isnrsquot consistently mentioned as one of the best runners in the SEC

        One of Collinsrsquo biggest rivals is Louisiana State Uni-versityrsquos Leonard Fournette Fournette started o slow against the University of South Carolina Gamecocks He yuml nished the yuml rst half with only 59 yards but he started the third quarter with a

        bang Fournette took a hand-o from the shotgun and zoomed his way to the end zone untouched He needed only one upyuml eld cut to score an 87-yard touchdown

        His touchdown was the type of statement the sopho-more running back who leads the NCAA in rushing yards needed to silence those who claim Fournettersquos early season success was because of his teamrsquos weak schedule

        It was a statement similar to the one Collins made last year against Texas Tech when he pulled o an 84-

        yard scamper to the end zone However Collins did that against a Red Raider defense that was not highly esteemed

        Fournettersquos 158 yards against South Carolina pushed his rushing total to more than 1000 yards in just yuml ve games this season He became the 10th player in Football Bowl Subdivision history to reach that total in yuml ve games ac-cording to ESPN

        Itrsquos easy to overlook Collinsrsquo superb play this season when a running back from a rival team is putting up historic numbers However that would be short cutting the perfor-

        mance of a player who has taken over the duties as the main running back for the yuml rst time in his career

        Collins has become the focus of a Razorback of-fense that is confused about its identity In 2014 the Hogs thrived on pound-ing their opponents with a ground game that punished and wore down defenses deg at rushing attack was built on the combination of Collins and Jonathan Wil-liams who rushed for more than 1100 yards last year deg is season Collins has been pushed into the solo

        Alex Collins runs over the competition this seasonrole save for a few touches that have gone to freshman Rawleigh Williams

        Without the ability to rely on two talented running backs the Razorbacks are turning to an increasingly e ective passing attack Yet Collins is still on pace to obliterate his totals from last year

        Fans need to appreciate what theyrsquore seeing from Collins before he bolts for the NFL or count their lucky stars if he chooses to give it one more go in an Arkansas uniform

        Lady Hogs continue to struggle

        he UA soccer team dropped to 1-5-1 in Southeastern Con-

        ference play and 5-8-1 overall a er su ering close defeats to Ole Miss and Vanderbilt on Friday and Sunday respec-tively

        deg e Razorbacksrsquo matchup with Ole Miss ended with a gut-wrenching last-second goal in double overtime by Ole Miss defender Maddie Friedmann to give the Rebels a 2-1 victory

        deg e Rebels had the NCAA leader in game-winning goals in CeCe Kizer but it was Friedmann who put Ole Miss on top against the Hogs

        deg e other point for Ole Miss came when a Razorback

        player accidentally scored on her own goal in the 55th minute

        In the 64th minute Arkansas junior midyuml elder Rachel Riggs scored her yuml rst goal of the season to tie the game

        Claire Kelley and Reece Christopherson assisted on the goal which was a chip shot for Riggs a er Ole Miss goalkeeper Marnie Merritt fell down Razorback head coach Colby Hale said Riggsrsquo perfor-mance helped the Hogs down the stretch

        ldquoI thought she went in and added good minutes for usrdquo Hale said ldquoHonestly it wasnrsquot just the goal She did a few good things for usrdquo

        deg e Rebels had 16 shots on the night but freshman goalkeeper Jordan Harris ac-counted for eight saves

        deg e 1506 fans who attended the double-overtime thriller

        broke an attendance record at Razorback Field It was the yuml h-highest attendance in Razorback Field history Some of the crowd stayed a er the game to call the Hogs with the team and receive autographs from the players

        deg e team will bounce back from the loss and get better moving forward Hale said a er the game

        In the teamrsquos matchup against the Vanderbilt Com-modores the Razorbacks were unable to yuml nd the net in the 1-0 defeat

        Vanderbilt scored the only goal in the 11th minute when Simone Charley dropped one in from about 5 yards away from the goal However the Razorbacks held the Commo-dores scoreless for the rest of the game

        Arkansas nearly evened the score in the 67th minute

        when junior Alexandra Fischer appeared to score the equalizer but an o side call negated the goal

        deg e game was physical from the beginning and Arkansas racked up yuml ve fouls in the yuml rst half

        In the second half the Com-modores racked up nine fouls but yuml nished the game with a 13-to-8 advantage over the Razorbacks in the foul depart-ment

        Harris followed her perfor-mance against Ole Miss with a save in the yuml rst half against the Commodores Goalkeeper Cameron Carter played the other half against Vandy and she also earned a save

        Central Oklahoma scored three goals with le wing Gavin Hohl forward Sam Rice and center Landon Robin all getting in on the action Hohl and Rice each added an assist

        Tempers rose quickly and players from both teams were separated multiple times throughout the night Each team had at least three di er-ent players spend time in the penalty box

        Arkansas had trouble convert-ing power-play opportunities even when Central Oklahoma was down two players late in the third period During the power play Arkansas pulled Ecklund to add an additional scoring threat but a pass intercepted by Central Oklahoma forward Josh Wyatt led to an easy score on an unprotected goal

        deg e second game was similar to the yuml rst with Ar-kansas striking yuml rst behind a goal from le wing Luc Gradisar It was the yuml rst of Gradisarrsquos two goals on the night deg e other came in the second period

        ldquoWe came out strong in the third period but we didnrsquot capitalize on a couple of power plays that we wanted tordquo defender Chris Green said ldquoWe grinded a lot in our defensive zone but we couldnrsquot get any momentum goingrdquo

        Rice right wing Andrei Novikov center Michael Rivera and forward Donald Danroth all added goals for Central Oklahoma

        During the off eason Jacorey Williams Anton Beard and Dustin Thomas found themselves in legal trouble after police arrested them for allegedly using counterfeit money Williams was dismissed and Beard and Thomas were suspended from the team Beard and Thomas await trials and could be reinstated

        Arkansas also lost Ted Kapita one of the top recruits from the 2015 class who was ruled academically ineligible by NCAA offi als He will not be on campus for another year Kapita and fellow recruit Jimmy Whitt were the only ranked play-ers Anderson recruited last year With the departure of four of the teamrsquos leading scorers Kapita and Whitt were expected to fill produc-tion holes

        However many top re-cruits are still considering Arkansas

        Malik Monk the only five-star high school recruit in Arkansas has narrowed his list of schools to six The options include Arkansas Kentucky Oregon North Carolina Florida State and Kansas Arkansas and Kentucky are considered the favorites While Kentucky North Carolina and Kansas are perennial powerhouses Florida State has one of the best 2016 recruiting classes

        Besides Monk Anderson has secured a commitment from two of the countryrsquos best junior college prospects in guards Daryl Macon and Jaylen Barford Macon from Holmes Community College in Mississippi averaged 23 points four rebounds and three assists a game

        Barford out of Motlow State Community College in Tennessee put up 20 points and five assists a game while grabbing seven boards Their scoring abilities should benefit the team when they make their way to Fayette-ville

        Jamal Johnson a 6-foot-4-inch shooting guard from the 2017 recruiting class could also play for Arkansas but he has yet to make a decision

          October to bring out basic tendencies in Fayetteville

          As I was standing in line for Starbucks a few days ago I heard an interesting exchange of words between two friends

          It went something along the lines of ldquoLike OMG Jes-sica the pumpkin spice latte is back itrsquos literally the best day ever Like wow ˜ is is literally like more important than anything like my life is maderdquo

          Listening to this conversa-tion I thought back to a meme I had seen on Reddit a few days ago ˜ e caption read ldquoBrace yourself October is comingrdquo At the time I did not fully understand the meme I thought it was referring to colder weather but it was not October is dideg erent from ev-ery other month in one very distinct way- October is the month of the basic girls

          Every basic girl you know loves to interject three things in any conversation you have with her e yuml rst is something

          about Starbucks and the sec-ond is something about how totally ldquosmashedrdquo she got last night at that one frat house ˜ e third is less of a speciyuml c thing and more the inappro-priate addition of the word lit-erally before something thatrsquos not really literal ˜ e month of October takes these topics and escalates them exponen-tially

          Starbucks brings back their pumpkin spice latte in the month of October To anyone with an IQ higher than that of a piece of bread the news of a new avor of latte at Starbucks would not be of any impor-tance However basic girls feed odeg this news ˜ ey feel they must tell everyone of this news because it is literally the only piece of news they have heard and it has to do with Starbucks

          Burnettrsquos is every basic girlsrsquo drink of choice Because Burnettrsquos knows the type of au-dience they are selling to they made one of the smartest de-cisions on the planet pump-kin spice avored Burnettrsquos I

          know you may be throwing up in your mouth right now but this vodka is what fuels basic-ness through the entire month of October It also fuels a lot of vomit that ends up outside of peoplersquos mouths

          Halloween is on Oct 31 Besides Kwanzaa Halloween is literally every basic girls favorite holiday Halloween is a special time of the year be-cause you can be both slutty and culturally insensitive without being judged ˜ is is big news for basic girls every-where because they love being both of those things

          ˜ e weather gets a little bit chillier in the month of octo-ber For me that is a bummer but for basic bitches that is equivalent to like four venti pumpkin spice lattes Cold-er weather means dressing warmer and dressing warmer means Uggs and leggings ˜ e yuml rst day the weather drops below 65 degrees a basic girls closet changes from norts and t-shirts to Uggs and leggings and oversized Patagonias

          ˜ e cooler weather of Oc-

          tober also kicks odeg ldquocu ng seasonrdquo wherein the increased necessity of spending time indoors causes normally pro-miscuous people to feel the crushing loneliness caused by watching Net ix with no sig-niyuml cant other ˜ ey then wish they were ldquocudeg edrdquo or tied down by a serious relation-ship

          October is a month full of fascinating transitions ˜ e weather becomes a little bit colder and the leaves begin to change colors As the leaves change normal collegiate women change too Some girls stay unadeg ected but oth-ers canrsquot help being sucked into the void of basic-ness As more foods and drinks are in-fused with pumpkin avored syrups more and more girls are infused with a basic state of mind Brace yourselves Ra-zorbacks October is here

          Whatsgoodly app fosters campus conversation kind of

          Over the past few weeks one particular new app has been able to capture the polling acumen of students all around campus Whatsgoodly an app developed by fraternity students at Stanford Univer-sity last year allows users to anonymously post polls in which other users can cast votes ˜ e purpose of the app is to produce public opinion on certain contentious topics that people wouldnrsquot post on their social media publicly ˜ e silent majority is Whatgoodlyrsquos target audience

          Most of the polling done from Whatsgoodly is focused on ranking Greek life in some form Questions abound as to which houses are the best at any number of things from

          where to party to where to watch the game--though sci-ence has little to say about the actual dideg erence in these two things

          A er the Hogs faced odeg against Alabama last Saturday talk of the game was rampant on the app As always the Razorbacks were able to give we the faithful just enough hope that a vic-tory could be eked out and then reality came and hit us back

          ˜ e top game related poll read ldquoWhat should I do a er that gamerdquo No clear-cut winner could be decided as respondents to the poll felt it was equally time to ldquodrinkrdquo and ldquobe real it wasnrsquot that surprisingrdquo

          Whatsgoodly also serves as an outlet for students to voice their problems with a pesky roommate or friend

          49 of respondents in a poll about common room-mate annoyances noted their roommates ldquoleave their studeg all over the roomrdquo

          Coming up this week midterms are set to be the bane of existence to many students on campus ˜ e lack of sleep and over ow of stress in this instance has caused one particular student to voice their concerns in the form of a Whatsgoodly poll ldquoAre you go-ing to pass your midterms this weekrdquo it reads

          47 of respondents report that they have no way of pass-ing their midterms while an-other 24 of the student body represented by Whatsgoodly believes theyrsquore likely to pass but owe that success to the study drug Adderall A poll seeking information on what percent of UA students are actually prescribed the drug

          remains relatively unanswered as of press time

          Although it seems that the app is mainly dominated by non-critical questions regard-ing girls sports or Greek life the concept of the app itself holds real merit Instead of the same old rankings of sororities or a poll exclaiming that a de-rogatory word precede before Pike real applications could come from the app Students could gauge how hard a test was or yuml nd out which particu-lar party on campus was ldquopop-pinrsquordquo that night Whatsgoodly may not be able to be a voice for all students on campus but it could be a useful feature in driving student opinion and gauging interest for all

          ˜ e point isnrsquot necessary to tell half-truths to others

          but to create truths for our-selves We are able to take a million photos of our life and then hand select a few of them a erwards By doing this we create our own nar-rative Itrsquos not like the photos are lies but they have been taken out of their context and re-strung together in the ways that we choose ˜ e awkward and boring moments between them that werenrsquot photo-graphed donrsquot have to be in-cluded

          Columbus Day˜ e holiday set to expire

          Monday was Columbus Day I did not know it was Columbus Day until the end which shows you how much importance I place on Co-lumbus Day I do not care that it happened and I only care that I found out I missed it because it provided me with something to have an opinion on

          Columbus may or may not have actually found America and even if he did he was only American in the sense that he came onto someone elsersquos land and immediately claimed it as his own declared it needed saving and then went about angering all the locals who were blissfully unaware they needed so much help

          I do not know if Columbus arrived on the Santa Maria the El Nino or the third ship but I hope he didnrsquot bring all three ships the yuml rst time he went exploring because it would seem counterintuitive to put hundreds of human beings on boats and then sail into the blue beyond without an itinerary

          Celebrating Columbus Day is like celebrating a day called ldquoInciting Incident Dayrdquo where you celebrate a thing done by a person that gave another thing the possibility of existence many hundreds of years later ˜ e America established on July 4 1776 had little to do with Colum-bus other than that he acci-dentally stumbled onto a very nice piece of land

          If we want to keep cel-ebrating Columbus Day we should institute a ldquoBig Bang Dayrdquo where we celebrate the creation of the Universe as the event that would one day al-low all of us to exist

          ˜ erersquos an interesting shi happening where local gov-ernments and even entire states have been pushing to rebrand Columbus Day as In-digenous Peoples Day

          On Monday here on cam-pus a key to the city of Fay-etteville was presented to Nobel Peace Prize laureate Rigoberta Menchu who cam-

          paigns for the rights of indige-nous peoples across the world Her work in indigenous and womenrsquos rights and cultural reconciliation make Menchu a yuml tting yuml gure to hold a key to our wonderful city

          ˜ e move to rebrand Co-lumbus Day is one that I am in no way opposed to It seems yuml tting actually to give a single day of the 365 available to us to celebrate the entire popula-tion who lived on this conti-nent before it was discovered colonized ravaged by disease converted to Christianity and nearly wiped of budeg alo which would be the absolute pinna-cle of shame

          I donrsquot know how many of you have seen a budeg alo in person but they are immense majestic creatures with a right to live as important as ours ˜ ey are nothing like cattle and should be turned into neither burgers nor chaps for bikers ˜ ey carry in their chests the spirit of the old world One look into their eyes and you can feel a free-dom lost on modernity cours-ing through your veins

          Indigenous Peoples Day would be more appropriate than Inciting Incident Day in that it would give needed credence to a group of people who are almost entirely mar-ginalized in America today

          America once it was actu-ally America took notice that there had been people here before this piece of land be-came the greatest piece of land on earth and so we gave to those people relatively small sections of said land stepped back and said ldquowow this is perfect reconciliatory action for forcing your peoplersquos mi-gration you may have this square of land and the ability to build casinos upon itrdquo

          I support entirely the move to rebrand Columbus Day ˜ ough I know little about Columbus I can see how one might view his land-ing in what would someday be America as the veritable beginning of some sort of cultural genocide where the rights and wishes of an entire people were trampled under the foot of the white man like a herd of budeg alo before a thunderstorm

          ldquoMaking the Travelerrsquos Journey Worthwhilerdquo

          Meat-eating on campus is often limited to chicken strips hamburgers and the occasional pork chop

          Aside from a rare plate of venison or fish Fayetteville restaurants serve mostly the same types of meat How-ever not a single one of these American staples can be found on the menu of Fayettevillersquos newest eatery Herb-n-Elk

          Created by Nomads Mu-sic Lounge owners Jeremy Brown and Brittany Cusanek the restaurant specializes in atypical meats like crawfish and elk Cusanek hopes to serve bison and catfish in the future she said

          ldquoMy thought was that wersquore in Arkansas so letrsquos pull from what naturally would be liv-ing here what you would go out and hunt if you had to go get it yourselfrdquo Cusanek said

          The menursquos originality has several health benefits All of Herb-n-Elkrsquos dishes are at least partially organic and

          wholly sustainable Cusanek said

          ldquoYou think about all the other restaurants and what theyrsquore serving these three meat options and theyrsquore very highly processed factory farmedrdquo Cusanek said ldquoAnd so wersquore trying to get away from thatrdquo

          The restaurantrsquos elk meat comes from a certifi d or-ganic farm in Kansas Brown said The meat is not over-processed like chicken and beef can often be because the USDA has imposed stricter regulations for organic meats like elk and bison

          Herb-n-Elkrsquos grand open-ing was Oct 2 but the res-taurant was open for about a week before that ldquojust to kind of work out the kinks and see where we need to berdquo Brown said

          The grand opening was successful but since then business has been a bit slow Cusanek said The restaurant is tucked into the back cor-ner of the Metro District on Spring Street so it can be hard to fi d especially because the business is new and not well-known Cusanek said

          ldquoAnd we donrsquot want to blow uprdquo Brown said ldquoA lot of places will have too much PR about their grand opening and then they crash because they didnrsquot do it right hellip We just want to do it right the fi st timerdquo

          ldquoDoing it rightrdquo is defi-nitely a priority for Herb-n-Elkrsquos owners All of the food is made in small batches from fresh and locally-sourced in-gredients

          If the kitchen sells out of a certain ingredient or meal itrsquos out for the night because they donrsquot over-process food Brown said

          ldquoWersquore having a dinner party every night and yoursquove got to be the fi st to get hererdquo Cusanek said

          The inspiration for the res-taurant came from a trip that Cusanek and Brown took to Colorado over the summer While they were there they ate a delicious elk burger that made them start thinking about the possibilities for a special restaurant in Fayette-ville Cusanek said

          Brown is inspired by chefs like Jamie Oliver and others ldquowho are trying to expose

          food educationrdquo he said ldquoIt doesnrsquot have to be fried and it doesnrsquot have to be full of GMOs and fake ingredientsrdquo

          However the restaurant is about more than just pro-moting a healthy diet Herb-n-Elkrsquos menu is proof that Brown and Cusanek are seri-ous about boosting other lo-cal businesses Several local beers are on tap representing Columbus House Brewery Apple Blossom Brewing Co and Ozark Beer Company Brown said The Bourbon Rose cocktail features tea from Alchemy Macarons Also on tap there are brews from Missouri Oklahoma and Colorado Brown said

          Herb-n-Elkrsquos menu fea-tures several vegetarian meals like beet sliders Sriracha

          hummus and salads as well as comfort foods like hush puppies an elk meatloaf and burger and crawfish pasta Cusanek said that she often puts crawfish where lobster would usually be and elk where a dish would normally feature beef She said she is toying with the idea of bison meatballs

          Along with such an in-triguing menu comes appre-hension from customers

          Brown said that 12 cus-tomers came in during Bikes Blues amp BBQ and were disap-pointed that a regular ham-burger wasnrsquot on the menu In the end they were unwilling to try the elk burger and they left ithout eating

          ldquoPeople are a little bit hesi-tant because theyrsquore so used

          to beefrdquo Cusanek said ldquoThey know they like it so they stick with itrdquo

          Students had strong opin-ions about Herb-n-Elkrsquos menu

          ldquoTherersquos no way I would put that in my mouthrdquo soph-omore Natalie Oliver said

          Others were more willing to try new things

          ldquoIt sounds gross but I would be willing to try itrdquo ju-nior Megan Grajeda said

          Herb-n-Elkrsquos owners are counting on this open-mind-edness Their goal is to edu-cate people about sustainable health-conscious food so that obesity and other health is-sues can be eradicated

          ldquoYou donrsquot know if you like something unless yoursquove tried itrdquo Cusanek said

          New Restaurant Serves Elk Crawfish Entrees

          Fayetteville has given rise to a trending local band that has begun to turn the heads and capture the attention of students and music lovers alike The bandrsquos unortho-dox origin began only a few months ago

          Renfrowrsquos members met at a local studio under the same producer and quickly decided to pursue the shared dream of playing and producing music as a band

          ldquoWe are passionate about itrdquo Hayden Renfrow lead vo-calist and guitarist said ldquoWe all had our sights set on a mu-sic career and we love doing itrdquo

          The band brings an inter-esting dynamic with mem-bers all under the age of 25

          ldquoWe are young but that does not mean we are not goodrdquo Hayden Renfrow said

          Renfrow consists of four members Hayden Renfrow 21 Reagan Renfrow 16 Gar-rison Burgess 19 and recent UA graduate Dave Matthews 23 Hayden Renfrow attended the university before drop-ping out to engage the music industry

          Burgess also attended the UofA studying music educa-tion before joining the band full time Hayden and Rea-gan the bandrsquos bass guitarist are also brothers

          ldquoI would rather put time and effort into a music career because that is what I know I want to dordquo Renfrow said

          All four members live to-

          gether and practice in their house in Bentonville

          They were able to convert their living room into a music room allowing them plenty of space to practice with the full band Hayden Renfrow said

          Renfrow has also used the Fellowship Bible Church re-hearsal room to gain a better feel for how live shows will actually work

          The band is occasionally accompanied on stage by the Renfrowrsquos sister Hayley Ren-frow who fills the backup vo-cals and plays the piano

          Renfrow recently played its fi st small gig at a Fayette-ville coffee shop Mama Car-menrsquos on College Avenue The bar was filled with eager fans and locals who enjoyed the music and liveliness of the band

          ldquoThe band had impressive talent they covered songs very well and made you want to stay and listen morerdquo freshman William Votsmeir said

          The band has already ex-perienced several challeng-es since its beginning five months ago

          It was important for the band to work things out and establish unity and share a common vision and goal the members said

          Also having a high school student as a band member makes things interesting Hayden Renfrow said that he may be 16 but he acts like a 21 year old most of the time

          Renfrow has taken on the identity and genre of a singer-songwriter and blues and is comparable to John Mayer

          and Ben Rector who is an-other rising music star and alumnus of the UofA

          ldquoThey donrsquot have a weak player at any instrumentrdquo sophomore Daniel Matthews said ldquoI really enjoyed their songs they perform liverdquo

          Dave Matthews backup electric guitarist for Renfrow said ldquoIt has given me not only friends to play music with

          but friends who know me and support and encourage merdquo

          Renfrowrsquos music can be found on iTunes Spotify and Amazon

          Upon release of their fi st album Renfrowrsquos fi st EP ldquoSailsrdquo already reached the top 10 on singer-songwriter genres on iTunes

          Renfrow said they will re-main in northwest Arkansas

          for now however they have aspirations of one day mov-ing to Nashville Tennessee or Los Angeles

          The band plans to raise money and establish a fi m fan base here in Fayetteville before leaving Renfrow said they have the skill to do it and they know what it takes to make it in the music industry All they have to do is put in the work and effort

          Renfrow will return to per-form a free show at Mama Carmenrsquos Thursday evening Renfrow will also play a Ben-efit Concert at the UofA for the Rwanda Release

          More information about the band can be found on its website at renfrowmusiccom Anyone interested can also fol-low Renfrow on Instagram and Twitter at Renfrowmusic

          Brendon Glidden wiped a bead of sweat from his upper brow and nervously took a sip of water A million thoughts went through his head as he stepped up to the counter

          Donrsquot screw this up Ten minutes on the clock to brew this cup You got this

          Glidden a certifi d barista and head of research and de-velopment for Onyx Coffee Lab in Fayetteville attended the Specialty Coffee Associa-tion of America Event ndash or the ldquoSCAA Eventrdquo as the competi-tors call it ndash in Seattle last year He left the rest of his team at SCAA to compete at the third annual United States Aero-Press Championship

          The AeroPress a manual coffee brewer more common in Europe than in the United States brews coffee in 20-40 seconds according to the of-fic al AeroPress website As Glidden explained the brewer is not that big of a deal in the US but it has its own follow-ing

          In this bracket-style com-petition Glidden had to cre-ate a simple recipe using the coffee the competition panel provide the perfect tempera-ture ratio of water and pres-sure and from there brew the best cup of coffee

          Before the competition Glidden created a simple rec-ipe for a collaboration he had worked on with retail com-pany Fayettechill He crafted the recipe to brew coffee while camping and it did not re-quire fancy tools but instead translated into scoops

          ldquo(At Onyx) we would never measure in scoops It is wildly inaccuraterdquo Glidden said ldquoBut that recipe is exactly what I used in the competi-tionrdquo

          Upon his arrival to the United States AeroPress Championship Gliddenrsquos nerves caught up to him While the other participants indulged in the beer provided by vendors Glidden stuck to water

          ldquoThere I was by myself in a room full of people mdash people Irsquod heard of and I knew had done wellrdquo he said ldquoI was ner-vous and alone hoping Irsquod do well toordquo

          Itrsquos super simple to do just replicate your recipe here Donrsquot screw this up

          Glidden 23 moved to Fayetteville from Fort Smith in 2012 with an associatersquos degree in computer-aided drafting and design and a goal to work for Pixar which he abandoned because it was too stressful he said

          He also had three years of experience working at Sweet Bay Coffee Co in Fort Smith

          ldquoInitially the job was just fun I wasnrsquot really into coffee I could have just worked at a smoothie shop and had the same level of interestrdquo he said

          He started working at Onyx in Fayetteville in sum-mer 2013 and during his time

          there learned he does not just brew coffee he crafts t

          ldquoI didnrsquot know pour-over coffee existed I didnrsquot know good coffee until I fully dis-covered that coffee is a craftrdquo he said ldquoThat was after I ab-sorbed the industry It was in-credibly eye-openingrdquo

          Because he had never com-peted before he practiced in Fayetteville with his own tools ndash one being a Refractometer a $500 device that measures the impurities in water ndash and coffee The contest supplied the brand of coffee to every competitor on the West Coast but because Glidden was com-ing from Arkansas he was not able to practice with it In-stead he had to fi d a similar type of coffee to practice with

          He showed up to the event which was about two miles away from SCAA and as-sumed there would be a prac-tice round to see how it would be run There was not but the judges allowed Glidden and a few other baristas from out of town to practice And then the competition began

          With their names written on the bottoms of their cups no one ndash not even the judges ndash knew which cup was which By the end of the fi st round the judges had blindly tasted each cup counted to three and pointed unanimously to a cup in front of them

          ldquoI thought I was out I thought lsquoYep thatrsquos it Irsquom done Irsquom out of my leaguersquordquo and then I found out the cup was mine and I was moving on to the next roundrdquo Glidden said ldquoBy the last round it was comfortable because the three of us knew we were placing We had made itrdquo

          Glidden ended up winning second place met Alan Adler inventor of the AeroPress and scored many coffee-associat-ed prizes as well as fame for Onyx Glidden and the two other winners Andrew Bet-tis in third place and Jeremy Moore in fi st came from the South Bettis and Moore came from Tennessee

          ldquoUsually in that coffee culture you expect (the win-ners) to live on the coast somewhere where the coffee is more of a thingrdquo Glidden said with a playful smirk on his face ldquoWe killed all these West Coast guysrdquo

          Onyx is the only shop in town with ldquolabrdquo in its title in Fayetteville and for good rea-son too There is more science to brewing the perfect cup of coffee than one might think

          ldquoAt times it seems obnox-ious just to get a cup of cof-fee but it all mattersrdquo Glidden said ldquoSome of it is way too science-yrdquo he said as he went on to talk about pH levels in water

          Glidden works the bar at Onyx two days a week but he is a full-time employee He focuses a good amount of his time on coming up with new concoctions for the seasonal drink menu for which he cre-ated his proudest achievement thus far the award-winning Srsquomores Gibraltar Th s drink has been featured on various coffee blogs and websites as well as magazines around Ar-kansas

          Dylan Siemens head baris-ta trainer at Onyx has worked with Glidden for two years

          ldquoBrendon is a really en-thusiastic and creative person about really all things coffeerdquo

          Siemens said ldquoWe both are good for pushing each other to the next level of being a baristardquo

          Along with his barista job Glidden is head of research and development for Onyx which includes organizing and creating the seasonal menus He also leads and teaches public classes and events such as coffee brewing and latte art at Whole Foods and the Little Craft Show in Fayetteville He also brews the Nitro Cold Brew at the Onyx warehouse where he brewed about 500 gallons of it this past summer

          ldquoHad you asked me last year if I thought Irsquod be doing research and development for the shop I would say lsquono Irsquoll be making drinks like every-one elsersquo I didnrsquot see myself here everrdquo he said

          When not compet-ing nationally Glidden and the Onyx team hold ldquoOnyx Th owdownrdquo events which consist of a block-party atmo-sphere in the shop Local ven-dors neighboring shops and customers come to the shop for a latte-art competition where those competing buy-in for $5 and the winner gets ldquothe money and the bragging rightsrdquo Glidden said

          Glidden plans on attending this yearrsquos US Brewerrsquos Cup a performance-based competi-tion that ldquorecognizes and cel-ebrates the art of manual cof-fee brewingrdquo according to the website

          ldquoTh s is my career Coffee is itrdquo he said ldquoIrsquom not sure where Irsquoll be year-by-year whether itrsquos working with farms in different countries or what but Irsquom defin tely work-ing on planning future tripsrdquo

          ldquoI knew I was too old to be hired by Kanakukrdquo Bailey said ldquoso I took my savings le the oil industry and be-gan to develop a camp on a smaller scale and odeg er this camp to student and youth group organizationsrdquo

          In uenced greatly by his love for the outdoors Bailey stumbled upon 120 acres of land for sale and quickly pur-chased it

          ldquo˝ e camp has been in the works since January 2009rdquo Bailey said ldquoRight a er the big ice storm hitrdquo

          Noticing the fallen limbs and lumber that was scat-tered across the property a er his new purchase Bailey said he began to chop down dead trees and collect the wood that had already fallen to cre-ate a clearing for his camp

          A er catching a vision Bailey planned to use this wood he acquired on his land to build the camp from the ground up Bailey teamed up with several of his mules to drag the trees he cut into large piles to use later Shortly a er this commitment Bailey said he bought a sawmill and began to mill the tree trunks he had cut into usable lumber

          to construct the cabins on the campgrounds ˝ en began the long process of laying concrete foundations build-ing the concrete piers and as-sembling the log cabins from the wood he cut

          Since the beginning of the construction of this student camp Bailey said he has con-structed about 23 himself As word got out among the locals in the neighboring counties Bailey began to have people volunteer and help him build the camp

          ˝ ough still under con-struction Bailey has managed to erect three cabins several barns and sheds for storage his own house on the prop-erty and is building a large dining hall overlooking the valley

          ldquoIt is not the nicest place ever but it has come a long way since I was last out there a year agordquo junior Mason Les-ter said

          Bailey has many future vi-sions for the camp and has a variety of improvements and new additions he plans to incorporate in the camp he said ˝ e yuml rst of these addi-tions is boxing certain por-tions of the camp in glass in order to provide protection from the elements yet at the same time decreasing any type of barrier between hu-mans and nature

          Baileyrsquos most recent ac-quisition of land he said gave him access to 11 acres of White River property to serve as a swimming hole and al-low for opportunities to teach kayaking classes

          Bailey has built several ropes courses with various degrees of di culty Bailey said that he owns $10000 worth of paintball equipment for guests to use and play with at their leisure Also a profes-sional archery course is in the making Bailey said for ar-

          chers to come practice as well as for beginners to learn A BB gun range is being built to accommodate for the 30 guns Bailey owns Rock climbing and repelling practice is also a future addition Bailey said

          ldquoI am a proponent of edu-cationrdquo Bailey said ldquoWe have areas where geology students would thrive fossils in rocks bludeg lines on the river and much morerdquo

          Future additions also in-clude a skeet shooting range a combat pistol range con-cealed handgun license train-ing a yuml sh pond guided squir-rel hunts a pavilion and a sports and recreation area

          ldquo˝ is isnrsquot just a summer to summer camp but a weekend camprdquo Bailey said

          Bailey is open to have any type of group or organiza-tion to his property for a fun getaway whether it be for a bachelor party a faith-based group a fraternity or soror-ity get together family bond-ing or simply a class of nature loving students and their pro-fessor It is a great place to get away and experience the won-ders of nature Bailey said

          Stephen Billings a stadeg member a part of Student Mobilization or StuMo re-cently made a trip to Baileyrsquos camp for a menrsquos retreat

          ldquoIt was awesomerdquo he said ldquoRick was a huge blessing and helped us out with ev-erything Our crew got to get away from all distractions and focus on areas of growth and had a great timerdquo

          Bailey said he has built the camp with his own money because he wants to give oth-ers the chance to experience creation ˝ ough he does not charge a group to come out and stay and use his facilities and equipment Bailey said he would appreciate any dona-tions the visitors give

          ldquoIt was a great place to escape and rechargerdquo sopho-more Daniel Shimer said

          ˝ e camp is not fee-based and runs solely odeg the dona-tions he receives and Baileyrsquos own money Bailey said

          ldquoWe plan on going back next yearrdquo Billings said

          Fair chase is the ethical and lawful pursuit of wild game that does not give the hunter an im-proper advantage over the ani-mals according to the Boone and Crockett Club founded by ˝ eodore Roosevelt and others in 1887

          ldquoOur relationship with the land in the city is no dideg erent than someone who reaps all or some of his resources from the wild but he or she can become unaware of where his steak dinner came fromrdquo said Per-rin Partee co-owner of Partee Land and Timber Partee has a hunting club on the land that his lumber business is on

          Other students at the UofA who hunt said that they have heard about game wardens in the area running a tight shi in Arkansas making sure that il-legal hunting does not happen

          ldquoGame wards are pretty on top of poachingrdquo junior bow hunter Samuel Colton said

          ldquo˝ ey will hear shots pass shooting times or out of season and they will check it out It is pretty hard to get away with do-ing anything like that here in Arkansasrdquo he said

          ldquoJust as any other social group has bad and good mem-bers hunting has its share of people who are conscious and well aware of ecological con-cerns and who are notrdquo Partee said

          ldquoA little bad publicity should not ruin it for everyonerdquo Colton said

          Krementz mentioned that there are many groups and or-ganizations encouraging chil-dren to hunt and enjoy wildlife

          ldquoShooting sports in high schools is a huge dealrdquo Kre-mentz said

          ldquoPart of that notion is that well if we can get kids to be-come familiar with shooting sports they will be more likely to go into hunting and yuml shing so they will start purchasing licenses which help with the management of wildlife and yuml sheries in our staterdquo Krement-ez said

          enior cross country run-ner Dominique Scott has done it all

          She is a two-time winner of the Southeastern Conference Runner of the Year award and a two-time NCAA All-American She also has seven individual titles

          But this season Scott is striv-ing toward another goal

          ldquoMy biggest goal of the year is to be a team leader and to be a role modelrdquo Scott said

          ldquoWe have a really young group of girls this year I just want to make sure I set a good example for them and give back to the team because when I was younger there were a lot of good leaders on the teamrdquo

          Coach Lance Harter has nothing but praise for his star runner

          ldquoShersquos tremendousrdquo Harter said ldquoShe talks to the under-classmen and shersquos a great leaderrdquo

          Though the team has several

          freshman Scott said she is looking to capitalize on the teamrsquos fi h-place fin sh at the end of last season

          ldquoMy goal for the team is to be top 10 this yearrdquo Scott said ldquoIf this young team can go in be confide t take the bull by the horns and embrace the oppor-tunity we can accomplish itrdquo

          It helps that the team has the No 1 runner in the country who already won her fi st meet of the season Oct 3 at the Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival

          Scott ranked second coming into the season but after her fi st-place fin sh she moved into the top spot

          ldquoIrsquom at the level now that I enjoy the pressurerdquo Scott said ldquoPressure either breaks people or it makes them rise to the oc-

          casion Hopefully I can rise to the occasion but rankings are just numbers on a page People are just guessing on themrdquo

          Scott said she wasnrsquot totally surprised by the honor She fin shed track season last year by placing second in both the 10K and the 5K

          ldquoMost people canrsquot do bothrdquo

          Scott said ldquoItrsquos like a double suicide You get one day of rest in betweenrdquo

          If success is based on how much an athlete trains then itrsquos no surprise that Scott is a dominant runner

          On average Scott runs 75 miles a week but she reduces that to 60 miles a week prior racing Those numbers are without running Sundays

          While running Scott is unfazed by any dist-

          Razorback Dominique Scott earns top SEC runner of the year again

          raction the world tries to throw at her she said

          ldquoIrsquom very focusedrdquo Scott said ldquoPeople often say lsquoDid you hear me cheeringrsquo And Irsquoll say lsquoOh yeah I didrsquo but I really didnrsquot because everything is blocked out Itrsquos like a tunnelrdquo

          Harter said he knows that Scott has the tools and determination to win at nationals a personal goal of Scott during her last year of eligibility

          ldquoShe has very high goals and very high expectations so we try to help her notch it up another level so she can achieve themrdquo Harter said

          After her eligibility expires Scott has her eyes on running professionally The 2020 Tokyo Olympics is a realistic goal and it is something Scott has dreamed about since she was a little girl she said

          ldquoI feel so blessed that Irsquom able to live out my dreamrdquo Scott said

          for the 2016 season The Diamond Hogs will play 34 games at Baum Stadium and

          face off gainst 21 teams that made the NCAA tournament last year

          The season will begin Feb 19 against Central Michigan University

          The Razorbacks will play 16 of their fi st 19 games at Baum Stadium as well as 19 of their 26 nonconference games

          Fans in central Arkansas can watch the team play April 12 when the Razorbacks take on the University of Louisiana-Monroe at Dickey-Stephens Park in North Little Rock

          Q Is it time the Ra-zorbacks look else-where at the quar-terback position

          Alex No matter how bad Brandon Allen may seem in the fourth quarter he still has the most experience under center The next best option is a guy who has only attempted 18 passes in his career BA is still our guy until the end of the season

          Andrew Allen is the only capable quarterback on the roster right now The fact that hersquos even kept the Razorbacks competitive is crazy consider-ing how many offensive players are injured

          Austin Whatrsquos the point Even if Allen wasnrsquot the best option which he is benching him would only lead to confli t within the team It would signal the end of the coaching staff rsquos hopes for the season too

          Chandler Replace him with whom Allen is the best option available so there is no other reason to look elsewhere

          Leonce Fans have to un-derstand that there isnrsquot anyone on the roster who can do what Allen has been doing this sea-son He is the best option right now If Bret Bielema wanted to lose his job which I know he doesnrsquot he would bench Allen Itrsquos nonsense

          Pete If the Razorbacks are knocked out of bowl contention they should look elsewhere Ty Storey and Rafe Peavey are playmakers and thatrsquos something Razorback fans havenrsquot seen in a quarter-back since Matt Jones Letrsquos be honest Allen is absolutely replaceable at quarterback

          Tye No but that changes if the Razorbacks lose enough games to be knocked out of bowl contention If that happens Allen should be benched

          Traveler Staff Mid-Season Round Table Discussion

          Q Will the Razor-backs ever make the College Foot-ball Playoff under Bielema

          Alex Yes they will Arkan-sas has the talent and will have the quarterback play in the future to lead this team to the playoffs u der Bielema

          Andrew The Razorbacks wonrsquot make the CFP as long as theyrsquore in the Southeastern Conference and canrsquot recruit as well as other teams A team needs more than coaching to win the SEC let alone play in the CFP

          Austin No one expected coach Bielema to lead Ar-kansas to the CFP in his fi st three years Theyrsquoll make it eventually because the top SEC teams are always likely to have at least a loss or two on their record which could provide the Razorbacks with a window to nab an SEC title

          Chandler As long as the Razorbacks are in the SEC no Coach Bielema is a fantastic coach but the SEC is on an-other level

          Leonce I doubt it Arkansas just doesnrsquot possess the appeal of LSU Alabama and Texas AampM in the SEC West Itrsquoll be too tough to recruit top-tier talent to make the playoff I sincerely hope Irsquom wrong but I donrsquot see the Razorbacks winning 11 games and winning the SEC to make the playoff

          Pete Yes I really like the vision Bielema has for the team With teams lean-ing more and more toward spreading the fi ld Bielema is still determined to build an old-school team that may be tough for opposing defenses It all depends on if he stays long enough to see his vision carried out

          Tye Simple answer No

          ldquoPressure either breaks people or it makes them rise to the occasion Hope-fully I can rise to the occasion but rank-

          ings are just numbers on a pagerdquoDominique Scott

          Q The Razor-backs are 2-4 Will they become bowl eligible this season

          Alex Yes they will Winning at home will make the Razorbacks eligible for a bowl game Who knows Maybe theyrsquoll play Texas again and wersquoll have a repeat of last season

          AndrewThe Razor-backs will miss a bowl game because of their early season blunders Therersquos always next year

          Austin The Hogs should just squeak into bowl eligibility to give the seniors and fans one last look at the team

          Chandler Yes Wins over Auburn UT-Martin Mississippi State and Missouri will get the Razorbacks to a bowl

          Leonce Yes but barely The Hogs will break even and sneak into the postseason They need to make sure they donrsquot slip up at home for the rest of the season because a road win will be tough

          Pete If the defense continues to play as well as it did against Alabama then the Hogs might be able to save the season from being a total disaster and make a bowl game

          Tye Yes The defen-sive players will come alive just as they did late last year The surge in the defense will pro-pel the Razorbacks to a second-consecutive bowl under Bielema

          Andrew The Hogs will fin sh 5-7 Wins over Tennes-see Auburn and Missouri will be the highlights of Arkansasrsquo season

          Austin The Razorbacks will fin sh with a 5-7 record and fin sh the year with a win over Missouri after Thanks-giving Auburn is looking vulnerable and the Razor-backs should be able to strike after coming off a ye week The University of Tennessee-Martin will be a much-needed cupcake on homecoming and provide the Hogs with a win

          Chandler Outside of LSU and Ole Miss the Razorbacks will be at home the rest of the season Mississippi State will be challenging but I expect the Razorbacks to win all of their home games and go 6-6

          Leonce I believe the team will go 6-6 with road losses against LSU and Ole Miss I also have faith that the Hogs will improve defensively and possibly pull an upset on the road against one of the two teams

          Pete The defense will have to carry the struggling offense if the Razorbacks are going to fin sh the season 6-6 Ole Miss and LSU are too tough especially on the road

          Tye Arkansas will fin sh 6-6 The Hogs will have wins over Auburn UT-Martin Mississippi State and Mis-souri

          PRO HOGS Vol VII

          ormer Razorback pitcher Dallas Keuchel

          pitched his way to a vic-tory Sunday in the Houston Astrosrsquo third game against the Kansas City Royals in the American League Division Series

          In a 4-2 victory over Kansas City Keuchel pitched seven innings and gave up yuml ve hits He gave up a home run to centeryuml elder Lorenzo Cain in the fourth inning but it was the only run scored on Keuchel during the game

          deg e pitcher threw 124 pitches and struck out seven batters before being relieved by Tony Sipp

          Prior to that performance Keuchel helped the Astros punch a ticket to the series a er an impressive perfor-mance on the mound in the teamrsquos wild-card matchup against the New York Yan-kees

          Keuchelrsquos dominating play against the Yankees in the Astrosrsquo 3-0 victory was not the pitcherrsquos yuml rst great show-ing this season deg e pitcher had a mind-blowing 15-0 record in Houston during the regular season and he yuml n-ished the regular season with a 20-8 record as he willed his team into the postseason

          Going into the wild-card game the Astros and the Yankees were the two teams in the MLB that were most dependent on home runs deg e teams scored nearly half their runs because of the long ball

          Going up against veteran sluggers Alex Rodriguez and Carlos Beltran on the road was no small task for Keuchel who was playing in his yuml rst postseason environ-ment deg e Astros had not played in the postseason since 2005 when the organi-zation was crowned National League champion

          Andrew EppersonStaff Reporter

          Keuchel anchors AstrosInstead of crumbling

          under the pressure at Yankee Stadium against arguably the most successful team in MLB history Keuchel pitched a performance for the ages and turned the sports world upside down

          In six innings Keuchel gave up only three hits and a walk deg e ace did not commit a single error and 54 of his 87 pitches were strikes Keuchel struck out seven batters be-fore he was relieved by Sipp

          Keuchel faced the Yankees twice during the regular sea-son and won both times In June the pitcher struck out 12 batters in the Astrosrsquo shutout victory over the Yankees In August Keuchel pitched for seven scoreless innings and struck out nine Yankee batters

          A er his impressive regular season most experts believe the American League Cy Young race is between Keuchel and Toronto Blue Jays pitcher David Price deg e Cy Young Award is given to the best pitcher in each league

          Keuchelrsquos breakout season was somewhat unexpected because the pitcher earned a 12-9 record as a starting pitcher last season While many experts predicted he would have a solid year almost no one expected Keuchel to rise to the top of the American League

          When the le y won his 14th consecutive home start he set the franchise record for most consecutive home victories deg e record was previously set by Danny Darwin in 1990

          Before being dra ed by the Astros in the seventh round of the 2009 dra Keuchel played at Arkansas for three seasons He ended his college career with a 19-9 record for the Hogs and he started 17 games his senior season Keuchelrsquos 2009 Razorback team made a run in the Col-lege World Series before even-tually losing to the Louisiana State University Tigers

          F

          rkansas running back Alex Collins should be considered one of

          the best players in the South-eastern Conference

          Collins has produced more than 650 rushing yards while gaining more than 5 yards on every carry Hersquos on pace to rush for more than 1300 yards which would mark his third consecutive season to rush for more than 1000 yards

          COMMENTARY

          Austin AraujoStaff Reporter

          He yuml nished last season as the No 14 all-time leading rusher in school history If he continues his pace Collins will reach the third spot on that list

          Itrsquos a travesty that Collins isnrsquot consistently mentioned as one of the best runners in the SEC

          One of Collinsrsquo biggest rivals is Louisiana State Uni-versityrsquos Leonard Fournette Fournette started o slow against the University of South Carolina Gamecocks He yuml nished the yuml rst half with only 59 yards but he started the third quarter with a

          bang Fournette took a hand-o from the shotgun and zoomed his way to the end zone untouched He needed only one upyuml eld cut to score an 87-yard touchdown

          His touchdown was the type of statement the sopho-more running back who leads the NCAA in rushing yards needed to silence those who claim Fournettersquos early season success was because of his teamrsquos weak schedule

          It was a statement similar to the one Collins made last year against Texas Tech when he pulled o an 84-

          yard scamper to the end zone However Collins did that against a Red Raider defense that was not highly esteemed

          Fournettersquos 158 yards against South Carolina pushed his rushing total to more than 1000 yards in just yuml ve games this season He became the 10th player in Football Bowl Subdivision history to reach that total in yuml ve games ac-cording to ESPN

          Itrsquos easy to overlook Collinsrsquo superb play this season when a running back from a rival team is putting up historic numbers However that would be short cutting the perfor-

          mance of a player who has taken over the duties as the main running back for the yuml rst time in his career

          Collins has become the focus of a Razorback of-fense that is confused about its identity In 2014 the Hogs thrived on pound-ing their opponents with a ground game that punished and wore down defenses deg at rushing attack was built on the combination of Collins and Jonathan Wil-liams who rushed for more than 1100 yards last year deg is season Collins has been pushed into the solo

          Alex Collins runs over the competition this seasonrole save for a few touches that have gone to freshman Rawleigh Williams

          Without the ability to rely on two talented running backs the Razorbacks are turning to an increasingly e ective passing attack Yet Collins is still on pace to obliterate his totals from last year

          Fans need to appreciate what theyrsquore seeing from Collins before he bolts for the NFL or count their lucky stars if he chooses to give it one more go in an Arkansas uniform

          he UA soccer team dropped to 1-5-1 in Southeastern Con-

          ference play and 5-8-1 overall a er su ering close defeats to Ole Miss and Vanderbilt on Friday and Sunday respec-tively

          deg e Razorbacksrsquo matchup with Ole Miss ended with a gut-wrenching last-second goal in double overtime by Ole Miss defender Maddie Friedmann to give the Rebels a 2-1 victory

          deg e Rebels had the NCAA leader in game-winning goals in CeCe Kizer but it was Friedmann who put Ole Miss on top against the Hogs

          deg e other point for Ole Miss came when a Razorback

          player accidentally scored on her own goal in the 55th minute

          In the 64th minute Arkansas junior midyuml elder Rachel Riggs scored her yuml rst goal of the season to tie the game

          Claire Kelley and Reece Christopherson assisted on the goal which was a chip shot for Riggs a er Ole Miss goalkeeper Marnie Merritt fell down Razorback head coach Colby Hale said Riggsrsquo perfor-mance helped the Hogs down the stretch

          ldquoI thought she went in and added good minutes for usrdquo Hale said ldquoHonestly it wasnrsquot just the goal She did a few good things for usrdquo

          deg e Rebels had 16 shots on the night but freshman goalkeeper Jordan Harris ac-counted for eight saves

          deg e 1506 fans who attended the double-overtime thriller

          broke an attendance record at Razorback Field It was the yuml h-highest attendance in Razorback Field history Some of the crowd stayed a er the game to call the Hogs with the team and receive autographs from the players

          deg e team will bounce back from the loss and get better moving forward Hale said a er the game

          In the teamrsquos matchup against the Vanderbilt Com-modores the Razorbacks were unable to yuml nd the net in the 1-0 defeat

          Vanderbilt scored the only goal in the 11th minute when Simone Charley dropped one in from about 5 yards away from the goal However the Razorbacks held the Commo-dores scoreless for the rest of the game

          Arkansas nearly evened the score in the 67th minute

          when junior Alexandra Fischer appeared to score the equalizer but an o side call negated the goal

          deg e game was physical from the beginning and Arkansas racked up yuml ve fouls in the yuml rst half

          In the second half the Com-modores racked up nine fouls but yuml nished the game with a 13-to-8 advantage over the Razorbacks in the foul depart-ment

          Harris followed her perfor-mance against Ole Miss with a save in the yuml rst half against the Commodores Goalkeeper Cameron Carter played the other half against Vandy and she also earned a save

          Central Oklahoma scored three goals with le wing Gavin Hohl forward Sam Rice and center Landon Robin all getting in on the action Hohl and Rice each added an assist

          Tempers rose quickly and players from both teams were separated multiple times throughout the night Each team had at least three di er-ent players spend time in the penalty box

          Arkansas had trouble convert-ing power-play opportunities even when Central Oklahoma was down two players late in the third period During the power play Arkansas pulled Ecklund to add an additional scoring threat but a pass intercepted by Central Oklahoma forward Josh Wyatt led to an easy score on an unprotected goal

          deg e second game was similar to the yuml rst with Ar-kansas striking yuml rst behind a goal from le wing Luc Gradisar It was the yuml rst of Gradisarrsquos two goals on the night deg e other came in the second period

          Rice right wing Andrei Novikov center Michael Rivera and forward Donald Danroth all added goals for Central Oklahoma

          and the Razorback basket-ball team Anderson and his coaching staff are attempting to recruit top players who will put the team back in the national spotlight with marquee talent

          During the off eason Jacorey Williams Anton Beard and Dustin Thomas found themselves in legal trouble after police arrested them for allegedly using counterfeit money Williams was dismissed and Beard and Thomas were suspended from the team Beard and Thomas await trials and could be reinstated

          Arkansas also lost Ted Kapita one of the top recruits from the 2015 class who was ruled academically ineligible by NCAA offi als He will not be on campus for another year Kapita and fellow recruit Jimmy Whitt were the only ranked play-ers Anderson recruited last year With the departure of four of the teamrsquos leading scorers Kapita and Whitt were expected to fill produc-tion holes

          However many top re-cruits are still considering Arkansas

          Malik Monk the only five-star high school recruit in Arkansas has narrowed his list of schools to six The options include Arkansas Kentucky Oregon North Carolina Florida State and Kansas Arkansas and Kentucky are considered the favorites While Kentucky North Carolina and Kansas are perennial powerhouses Florida State has one of the best 2016 recruiting classes

          brother Marcus Monk played at Arkansas seven years ago as a receiver on the football team Monk also resides close to Fayetteville in Bentonville

          Monk is ranked fi h in the country and he would be the second five-star recruit in the state to choose the UofA over other options ac-cording to ESPN The other recruit was former Arkansas star Bobby Portis who led the team to its fi st NCAA Tournament bid since 2008

          Besides Monk Anderson has secured a commitment from two of the countryrsquos best junior college prospects in guards Daryl Macon and Jaylen Barford Macon from Holmes Community College in Mississippi averaged 23 points four rebounds and three assists a game

          Barford out of Motlow State Community College in Tennessee put up 20 points and five assists a game while grabbing seven boards Their scoring abilities should benefit the team when they make their way to Fayette-ville

          Arkansas is still awaiting the decision of four-star recruit DersquoRon Davis a 6-foot-8-inch power forward from Aurora Colorado

          For the 2017 recruiting class Arkansas has already received a commitment from in-state four-star power forward Daniel Gafford out of El Dorado The 6-foot-10-inch big man is ranked No 45 in ESPNrsquos ranking of high school juniors

          Jamal Johnson a 6-foot-4-inch shooting guard from the 2017 recruiting class could also play for Arkansas but he has yet to make a decision

            ldquoMaking the Travelerrsquos Journey Worthwhilerdquo

            Meat-eating on campus is often limited to chicken strips hamburgers and the occasional pork chop

            Aside from a rare plate of venison or fish Fayetteville restaurants serve mostly the same types of meat How-ever not a single one of these American staples can be found on the menu of Fayettevillersquos newest eatery Herb-n-Elk

            Created by Nomads Mu-sic Lounge owners Jeremy Brown and Brittany Cusanek the restaurant specializes in atypical meats like crawfish and elk Cusanek hopes to serve bison and catfish in the future she said

            ldquoMy thought was that wersquore in Arkansas so letrsquos pull from what naturally would be liv-ing here what you would go out and hunt if you had to go get it yourselfrdquo Cusanek said

            The menursquos originality has several health benefits All of Herb-n-Elkrsquos dishes are at least partially organic and

            wholly sustainable Cusanek said

            ldquoYou think about all the other restaurants and what theyrsquore serving these three meat options and theyrsquore very highly processed factory farmedrdquo Cusanek said ldquoAnd so wersquore trying to get away from thatrdquo

            The restaurantrsquos elk meat comes from a certifi d or-ganic farm in Kansas Brown said The meat is not over-processed like chicken and beef can often be because the USDA has imposed stricter regulations for organic meats like elk and bison

            Herb-n-Elkrsquos grand open-ing was Oct 2 but the res-taurant was open for about a week before that ldquojust to kind of work out the kinks and see where we need to berdquo Brown said

            The grand opening was successful but since then business has been a bit slow Cusanek said The restaurant is tucked into the back cor-ner of the Metro District on Spring Street so it can be hard to fi d especially because the business is new and not well-known Cusanek said

            ldquoAnd we donrsquot want to blow uprdquo Brown said ldquoA lot of places will have too much PR about their grand opening and then they crash because they didnrsquot do it right hellip We just want to do it right the fi st timerdquo

            ldquoDoing it rightrdquo is defi-nitely a priority for Herb-n-Elkrsquos owners All of the food is made in small batches from fresh and locally-sourced in-gredients

            If the kitchen sells out of a certain ingredient or meal itrsquos out for the night because they donrsquot over-process food Brown said

            ldquoWersquore having a dinner party every night and yoursquove got to be the fi st to get hererdquo Cusanek said

            The inspiration for the res-taurant came from a trip that Cusanek and Brown took to Colorado over the summer While they were there they ate a delicious elk burger that made them start thinking about the possibilities for a special restaurant in Fayette-ville Cusanek said

            Brown is inspired by chefs like Jamie Oliver and others ldquowho are trying to expose

            food educationrdquo he said ldquoIt doesnrsquot have to be fried and it doesnrsquot have to be full of GMOs and fake ingredientsrdquo

            However the restaurant is about more than just pro-moting a healthy diet Herb-n-Elkrsquos menu is proof that Brown and Cusanek are seri-ous about boosting other lo-cal businesses Several local beers are on tap representing Columbus House Brewery Apple Blossom Brewing Co and Ozark Beer Company Brown said The Bourbon Rose cocktail features tea from Alchemy Macarons Also on tap there are brews from Missouri Oklahoma and Colorado Brown said

            Herb-n-Elkrsquos menu fea-tures several vegetarian meals like beet sliders Sriracha

            hummus and salads as well as comfort foods like hush puppies an elk meatloaf and burger and crawfish pasta Cusanek said that she often puts crawfish where lobster would usually be and elk where a dish would normally feature beef She said she is toying with the idea of bison meatballs

            Along with such an in-triguing menu comes appre-hension from customers

            Brown said that 12 cus-tomers came in during Bikes Blues amp BBQ and were disap-pointed that a regular ham-burger wasnrsquot on the menu In the end they were unwilling to try the elk burger and they left ithout eating

            ldquoPeople are a little bit hesi-tant because theyrsquore so used

            to beefrdquo Cusanek said ldquoThey know they like it so they stick with itrdquo

            Students had strong opin-ions about Herb-n-Elkrsquos menu

            ldquoTherersquos no way I would put that in my mouthrdquo soph-omore Natalie Oliver said

            Others were more willing to try new things

            ldquoIt sounds gross but I would be willing to try itrdquo ju-nior Megan Grajeda said

            Herb-n-Elkrsquos owners are counting on this open-mind-edness Their goal is to edu-cate people about sustainable health-conscious food so that obesity and other health is-sues can be eradicated

            ldquoYou donrsquot know if you like something unless yoursquove tried itrdquo Cusanek said

            New Restaurant Serves Elk Crawfish Entrees

            Fayetteville has given rise to a trending local band that has begun to turn the heads and capture the attention of students and music lovers alike The bandrsquos unortho-dox origin began only a few months ago

            Renfrowrsquos members met at a local studio under the same producer and quickly decided to pursue the shared dream of playing and producing music as a band

            ldquoWe are passionate about itrdquo Hayden Renfrow lead vo-calist and guitarist said ldquoWe all had our sights set on a mu-sic career and we love doing itrdquo

            The band brings an inter-esting dynamic with mem-bers all under the age of 25

            Renfrow consists of four members Hayden Renfrow 21 Reagan Renfrow 16 Gar-rison Burgess 19 and recent UA graduate Dave Matthews 23 Hayden Renfrow attended the university before drop-ping out to engage the music industry

            Burgess also attended the UofA studying music educa-tion before joining the band full time Hayden and Rea-gan the bandrsquos bass guitarist are also brothers

            ldquoI would rather put time and effort into a music career because that is what I know I want to dordquo Renfrow said

            All four members live to-

            gether and practice in their house in Bentonville

            They were able to convert their living room into a music room allowing them plenty of space to practice with the full band Hayden Renfrow said

            Renfrow has also used the Fellowship Bible Church re-hearsal room to gain a better feel for how live shows will actually work

            The band is occasionally accompanied on stage by the Renfrowrsquos sister Hayley Ren-frow who fills the backup vo-cals and plays the piano

            Renfrow recently played its fi st small gig at a Fayette-ville coffee shop Mama Car-menrsquos on College Avenue The bar was filled with eager fans and locals who enjoyed the music and liveliness of the band

            ldquoThe band had impressive talent they covered songs very well and made you want to stay and listen morerdquo freshman William Votsmeir said

            The band has already ex-perienced several challeng-es since its beginning five months ago

            It was important for the band to work things out and establish unity and share a common vision and goal the members said

            Also having a high school student as a band member makes things interesting Hayden Renfrow said that he may be 16 but he acts like a 21 year old most of the time

            Renfrow has taken on the identity and genre of a singer-songwriter and blues and is comparable to John Mayer

            and Ben Rector who is an-other rising music star and alumnus of the UofA

            ldquoThey donrsquot have a weak player at any instrumentrdquo sophomore Daniel Matthews said ldquoI really enjoyed their songs they perform liverdquo

            Dave Matthews backup electric guitarist for Renfrow said ldquoIt has given me not only friends to play music with

            but friends who know me and support and encourage merdquo

            Renfrowrsquos music can be found on iTunes Spotify and Amazon

            Upon release of their fi st album Renfrowrsquos fi st EP ldquoSailsrdquo already reached the top 10 on singer-songwriter genres on iTunes

            Renfrow said they will re-main in northwest Arkansas

            for now however they have aspirations of one day mov-ing to Nashville Tennessee or Los Angeles

            The band plans to raise money and establish a fi m fan base here in Fayetteville before leaving Renfrow said they have the skill to do it and they know what it takes to make it in the music industry All they have to do is put in the work and effort

            Renfrow will return to per-form a free show at Mama Carmenrsquos Thursday evening Renfrow will also play a Ben-efit Concert at the UofA for the Rwanda Release

            Brendon Glidden wiped a bead of sweat from his upper brow and nervously took a sip of water A million thoughts went through his head as he stepped up to the counter

            Donrsquot screw this up Ten minutes on the clock to brew this cup You got this

            Glidden a certifi d barista and head of research and de-velopment for Onyx Coffee Lab in Fayetteville attended the Specialty Coffee Associa-tion of America Event ndash or the ldquoSCAA Eventrdquo as the competi-tors call it ndash in Seattle last year He left the rest of his team at SCAA to compete at the third annual United States Aero-Press Championship

            The AeroPress a manual coffee brewer more common in Europe than in the United States brews coffee in 20-40 seconds according to the of-fic al AeroPress website As Glidden explained the brewer is not that big of a deal in the US but it has its own follow-ing

            In this bracket-style com-petition Glidden had to cre-ate a simple recipe using the coffee the competition panel provide the perfect tempera-ture ratio of water and pres-sure and from there brew the best cup of coffee

            Before the competition Glidden created a simple rec-ipe for a collaboration he had worked on with retail com-pany Fayettechill He crafted the recipe to brew coffee while camping and it did not re-quire fancy tools but instead translated into scoops

            ldquo(At Onyx) we would never measure in scoops It is wildly inaccuraterdquo Glidden said ldquoBut that recipe is exactly what I used in the competi-tionrdquo

            Upon his arrival to the United States AeroPress Championship Gliddenrsquos nerves caught up to him While the other participants indulged in the beer provided by vendors Glidden stuck to water

            ldquoThere I was by myself in a room full of people mdash people Irsquod heard of and I knew had done wellrdquo he said ldquoI was ner-vous and alone hoping Irsquod do well toordquo

            Itrsquos super simple to do just replicate your recipe here Donrsquot screw this up

            Glidden 23 moved to Fayetteville from Fort Smith in 2012 with an associatersquos degree in computer-aided drafting and design and a goal to work for Pixar which he abandoned because it was too stressful he said

            He also had three years of experience working at Sweet Bay Coffee Co in Fort Smith

            ldquoInitially the job was just fun I wasnrsquot really into coffee I could have just worked at a smoothie shop and had the same level of interestrdquo he said

            He started working at Onyx in Fayetteville in sum-mer 2013 and during his time

            there learned he does not just brew coffee he crafts t

            ldquoI didnrsquot know pour-over coffee existed I didnrsquot know good coffee until I fully dis-covered that coffee is a craftrdquo he said ldquoThat was after I ab-sorbed the industry It was in-credibly eye-openingrdquo

            Because he had never com-peted before he practiced in Fayetteville with his own tools ndash one being a Refractometer a $500 device that measures the impurities in water ndash and coffee The contest supplied the brand of coffee to every competitor on the West Coast but because Glidden was com-ing from Arkansas he was not able to practice with it In-stead he had to fi d a similar type of coffee to practice with

            He showed up to the event which was about two miles away from SCAA and as-sumed there would be a prac-tice round to see how it would be run There was not but the judges allowed Glidden and a few other baristas from out of town to practice And then the competition began

            With their names written on the bottoms of their cups no one ndash not even the judges ndash knew which cup was which By the end of the fi st round the judges had blindly tasted each cup counted to three and pointed unanimously to a cup in front of them

            ldquoI thought I was out I thought lsquoYep thatrsquos it Irsquom done Irsquom out of my leaguersquordquo and then I found out the cup was mine and I was moving on to the next roundrdquo Glidden said ldquoBy the last round it was comfortable because the three of us knew we were placing We had made itrdquo

            Glidden ended up winning second place met Alan Adler inventor of the AeroPress and scored many coffee-associat-ed prizes as well as fame for Onyx Glidden and the two other winners Andrew Bet-tis in third place and Jeremy Moore in fi st came from the South Bettis and Moore came from Tennessee

            ldquoUsually in that coffee culture you expect (the win-ners) to live on the coast somewhere where the coffee is more of a thingrdquo Glidden said with a playful smirk on his face ldquoWe killed all these West Coast guysrdquo

            Onyx is the only shop in town with ldquolabrdquo in its title in Fayetteville and for good rea-son too There is more science to brewing the perfect cup of coffee than one might think

            ldquoAt times it seems obnox-ious just to get a cup of cof-fee but it all mattersrdquo Glidden said ldquoSome of it is way too science-yrdquo he said as he went on to talk about pH levels in water

            Glidden works the bar at Onyx two days a week but he is a full-time employee He focuses a good amount of his time on coming up with new concoctions for the seasonal drink menu for which he cre-ated his proudest achievement thus far the award-winning Srsquomores Gibraltar Th s drink has been featured on various coffee blogs and websites as well as magazines around Ar-kansas

            Dylan Siemens head baris-ta trainer at Onyx has worked with Glidden for two years

            ldquoBrendon is a really en-thusiastic and creative person about really all things coffeerdquo

            Siemens said ldquoWe both are good for pushing each other to the next level of being a baristardquo

            Along with his barista job Glidden is head of research and development for Onyx which includes organizing and creating the seasonal menus He also leads and teaches public classes and events such as coffee brewing and latte art at Whole Foods and the Little Craft Show in Fayetteville He also brews the Nitro Cold Brew at the Onyx warehouse where he brewed about 500 gallons of it this past summer

            ldquoHad you asked me last year if I thought Irsquod be doing research and development for the shop I would say lsquono Irsquoll be making drinks like every-one elsersquo I didnrsquot see myself here everrdquo he said

            When not compet-ing nationally Glidden and the Onyx team hold ldquoOnyx Th owdownrdquo events which consist of a block-party atmo-sphere in the shop Local ven-dors neighboring shops and customers come to the shop for a latte-art competition where those competing buy-in for $5 and the winner gets ldquothe money and the bragging rightsrdquo Glidden said

            Glidden plans on attending this yearrsquos US Brewerrsquos Cup a performance-based competi-tion that ldquorecognizes and cel-ebrates the art of manual cof-fee brewingrdquo according to the website

            ldquoTh s is my career Coffee is itrdquo he said ldquoIrsquom not sure where Irsquoll be year-by-year whether itrsquos working with farms in different countries or what but Irsquom defin tely work-ing on planning future tripsrdquo

            An Ozark Mountain stu-dent retreat camp is under construction 40 miles east of Fayetteville

            Rick Bailey who graduated from the UofA with a degree in mechanical engineering in the 1970s is constructing this camp on a plot of land located atop a mountain in Madison County A er spending 30 years in the oil and engineer-ing industry Bailey said he felt led to exit the business world and begin investing in peoplersquos lives

            ldquoI knew I was too old to be hired by Kanakukrdquo Bailey said ldquoso I took my savings le the oil industry and be-gan to develop a camp on a smaller scale and odeg er this camp to student and youth group organizationsrdquo

            In uenced greatly by his love for the outdoors Bailey stumbled upon 120 acres of land for sale and quickly pur-chased it

            ldquo˝ e camp has been in the works since January 2009rdquo Bailey said ldquoRight a er the big ice storm hitrdquo

            Noticing the fallen limbs and lumber that was scat-tered across the property a er his new purchase Bailey said he began to chop down dead trees and collect the wood that had already fallen to cre-ate a clearing for his camp

            A er catching a vision Bailey planned to use this wood he acquired on his land to build the camp from the ground up Bailey teamed up with several of his mules to drag the trees he cut into large piles to use later Shortly a er this commitment Bailey said he bought a sawmill and began to mill the tree trunks he had cut into usable lumber

            to construct the cabins on the campgrounds ˝ en began the long process of laying concrete foundations build-ing the concrete piers and as-sembling the log cabins from the wood he cut

            Since the beginning of the construction of this student camp Bailey said he has con-structed about 23 himself As word got out among the locals in the neighboring counties Bailey began to have people volunteer and help him build the camp

            ˝ ough still under con-struction Bailey has managed to erect three cabins several barns and sheds for storage his own house on the prop-erty and is building a large dining hall overlooking the valley

            ldquoIt is not the nicest place ever but it has come a long way since I was last out there a year agordquo junior Mason Les-ter said

            Bailey has many future vi-sions for the camp and has a variety of improvements and new additions he plans to incorporate in the camp he said ˝ e yuml rst of these addi-tions is boxing certain por-tions of the camp in glass in order to provide protection from the elements yet at the same time decreasing any type of barrier between hu-mans and nature

            Baileyrsquos most recent ac-quisition of land he said gave him access to 11 acres of White River property to serve as a swimming hole and al-low for opportunities to teach kayaking classes

            Bailey has built several ropes courses with various degrees of di culty Bailey said that he owns $10000 worth of paintball equipment for guests to use and play with at their leisure Also a profes-sional archery course is in the making Bailey said for ar-

            chers to come practice as well as for beginners to learn A BB gun range is being built to accommodate for the 30 guns Bailey owns Rock climbing and repelling practice is also a future addition Bailey said

            ldquoI am a proponent of edu-cationrdquo Bailey said ldquoWe have areas where geology students would thrive fossils in rocks bludeg lines on the river and much morerdquo

            Future additions also in-clude a skeet shooting range a combat pistol range con-cealed handgun license train-ing a yuml sh pond guided squir-rel hunts a pavilion and a sports and recreation area

            ldquo˝ is isnrsquot just a summer to summer camp but a weekend camprdquo Bailey said

            Bailey is open to have any type of group or organiza-tion to his property for a fun getaway whether it be for a bachelor party a faith-based group a fraternity or soror-ity get together family bond-ing or simply a class of nature loving students and their pro-fessor It is a great place to get away and experience the won-ders of nature Bailey said

            Stephen Billings a stadeg member a part of Student Mobilization or StuMo re-cently made a trip to Baileyrsquos camp for a menrsquos retreat

            ldquoIt was awesomerdquo he said ldquoRick was a huge blessing and helped us out with ev-erything Our crew got to get away from all distractions and focus on areas of growth and had a great timerdquo

            Bailey said he has built the camp with his own money because he wants to give oth-ers the chance to experience creation ˝ ough he does not charge a group to come out and stay and use his facilities and equipment Bailey said he would appreciate any dona-tions the visitors give

            ldquoIt was a great place to escape and rechargerdquo sopho-more Daniel Shimer said

            ˝ e camp is not fee-based and runs solely odeg the dona-tions he receives and Baileyrsquos own money Bailey said

            ldquoWe plan on going back next yearrdquo Billings said

            new retreat camp under construction

            Fair chase is the ethical and lawful pursuit of wild game that does not give the hunter an im-proper advantage over the ani-mals according to the Boone and Crockett Club founded by ˝ eodore Roosevelt and others in 1887

            ldquoOur relationship with the land in the city is no dideg erent than someone who reaps all or some of his resources from the wild but he or she can become unaware of where his steak dinner came fromrdquo said Per-rin Partee co-owner of Partee Land and Timber Partee has a hunting club on the land that his lumber business is on

            Other students at the UofA who hunt said that they have heard about game wardens in the area running a tight shi in Arkansas making sure that il-legal hunting does not happen

            ldquoGame wards are pretty on top of poachingrdquo junior bow hunter Samuel Colton said

            ldquo˝ ey will hear shots pass shooting times or out of season and they will check it out It is pretty hard to get away with do-ing anything like that here in Arkansasrdquo he said

            ldquoJust as any other social group has bad and good mem-bers hunting has its share of people who are conscious and well aware of ecological con-cerns and who are notrdquo Partee said

            ldquoA little bad publicity should not ruin it for everyonerdquo Colton said

            Krementz mentioned that there are many groups and or-ganizations encouraging chil-dren to hunt and enjoy wildlife

            ldquoShooting sports in high schools is a huge dealrdquo Kre-mentz said

            ldquoPart of that notion is that well if we can get kids to be-come familiar with shooting sports they will be more likely to go into hunting and yuml shing so they will start purchasing licenses which help with the management of wildlife and yuml sheries in our staterdquo Krement-ez said

            ldquoACL use to be for up and coming artists but now itrsquos a tourist attractionrdquo Austin local Bailey Pierce said ldquoItrsquos a major boost to the economy for the two weeks it goes onrdquo

            ˝ e concerts themselves are better than any attraction at the park One of the artists BORNS is a new artist with a new album out in a few days His songs were owy and drew the crowd in In between sweet songs of love and dreamy rhythms BORNS showed small glimpses into his personality

            ldquoSo many students attend ACL to listen to several con-certs in one weekend rather than having to go to several dideg erent concerts per year to enjoy Austin Texas food which is one of a kind and to reconnect with friends at other schools in one big event that everyone can enjoyrdquo Vil-lani said

            It helps that the team has the No 1 runner in the country who already won her fi st meet of the season Oct 3 at the Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival

            Scott ranked second coming into the season but after her fi st-place fin sh she moved into the top spot

            ldquoIrsquom at the level now that I enjoy the pressurerdquo Scott said ldquoPressure either breaks people or it makes them rise to the oc-

            casion Hopefully I can rise to the occasion but rankings are just numbers on a page People are just guessing on themrdquo

            Scott said she wasnrsquot totally surprised by the honor She fin shed track season last year by placing second in both the 10K and the 5K

            ldquoMost people canrsquot do bothrdquo

            Scott said ldquoItrsquos like a double suicide You get one day of rest in betweenrdquo

            If success is based on how much an athlete trains then itrsquos no surprise that Scott is a dominant runner

            On average Scott runs 75 miles a week but she reduces that to 60 miles a week prior racing Those numbers are without running Sundays

            While running Scott is unfazed by any dist-

            Harter said he knows that Scott has the tools and determination to win at nationals a personal goal of Scott during her last year of eligibility

            ldquoShe has very high goals and very high expectations so we try to help her notch it up another level so she can achieve themrdquo Harter said

            After her eligibility expires Scott has her eyes on running professionally The 2020 Tokyo Olympics is a realistic goal and it is something Scott has dreamed about since she was a little girl she said

            Q Is it time the Ra-zorbacks look else-where at the quar-terback position

            Alex No matter how bad Brandon Allen may seem in the fourth quarter he still has the most experience under center The next best option is a guy who has only attempted 18 passes in his career BA is still our guy until the end of the season

            Andrew Allen is the only capable quarterback on the roster right now The fact that hersquos even kept the Razorbacks competitive is crazy consider-ing how many offensive players are injured

            Austin Whatrsquos the point Even if Allen wasnrsquot the best option which he is benching him would only lead to confli t within the team It would signal the end of the coaching staff rsquos hopes for the season too

            Chandler Replace him with whom Allen is the best option available so there is no other reason to look elsewhere

            Leonce Fans have to un-derstand that there isnrsquot anyone on the roster who can do what Allen has been doing this sea-son He is the best option right now If Bret Bielema wanted to lose his job which I know he doesnrsquot he would bench Allen Itrsquos nonsense

            Pete If the Razorbacks are knocked out of bowl contention they should look elsewhere Ty Storey and Rafe Peavey are playmakers and thatrsquos something Razorback fans havenrsquot seen in a quarter-back since Matt Jones Letrsquos be honest Allen is absolutely replaceable at quarterback

            Tye No but that changes if the Razorbacks lose enough games to be knocked out of bowl contention If that happens Allen should be benched

            Traveler Staff Mid-Season Round Table Discussion

            Q Will the Razor-backs ever make the College Foot-ball Playoff under Bielema

            Alex Yes they will Arkan-sas has the talent and will have the quarterback play in the future to lead this team to the playoffs u der Bielema

            Andrew The Razorbacks wonrsquot make the CFP as long as theyrsquore in the Southeastern Conference and canrsquot recruit as well as other teams A team needs more than coaching to win the SEC let alone play in the CFP

            Austin No one expected coach Bielema to lead Ar-kansas to the CFP in his fi st three years Theyrsquoll make it eventually because the top SEC teams are always likely to have at least a loss or two on their record which could provide the Razorbacks with a window to nab an SEC title

            Chandler As long as the Razorbacks are in the SEC no Coach Bielema is a fantastic coach but the SEC is on an-other level

            Leonce I doubt it Arkansas just doesnrsquot possess the appeal of LSU Alabama and Texas AampM in the SEC West Itrsquoll be too tough to recruit top-tier talent to make the playoff I sincerely hope Irsquom wrong but I donrsquot see the Razorbacks winning 11 games and winning the SEC to make the playoff

            Pete Yes I really like the vision Bielema has for the team With teams lean-ing more and more toward spreading the fi ld Bielema is still determined to build an old-school team that may be tough for opposing defenses It all depends on if he stays long enough to see his vision carried out

            Tye Simple answer No

            Q The Razor-backs are 2-4 Will they become bowl eligible this season

            Alex Yes they will Winning at home will make the Razorbacks eligible for a bowl game Who knows Maybe theyrsquoll play Texas again and wersquoll have a repeat of last season

            AndrewThe Razor-backs will miss a bowl game because of their early season blunders Therersquos always next year

            Austin The Hogs should just squeak into bowl eligibility to give the seniors and fans one last look at the team

            Chandler Yes Wins over Auburn UT-Martin Mississippi State and Missouri will get the Razorbacks to a bowl

            Leonce Yes but barely The Hogs will break even and sneak into the postseason They need to make sure they donrsquot slip up at home for the rest of the season because a road win will be tough

            Pete If the defense continues to play as well as it did against Alabama then the Hogs might be able to save the season from being a total disaster and make a bowl game

            Tye Yes The defen-sive players will come alive just as they did late last year The surge in the defense will pro-pel the Razorbacks to a second-consecutive bowl under Bielema

            Alex Arkansas will go 6-6 and lose to Louisiana State University and Ole Miss Auburn and Mississippi State will be close games but the Razorbacks will fi d a way to win

            Andrew The Hogs will fin sh 5-7 Wins over Tennes-see Auburn and Missouri will be the highlights of Arkansasrsquo season

            Austin The Razorbacks will fin sh with a 5-7 record and fin sh the year with a win over Missouri after Thanks-giving Auburn is looking vulnerable and the Razor-backs should be able to strike after coming off a ye week The University of Tennessee-Martin will be a much-needed cupcake on homecoming and provide the Hogs with a win

            Chandler Outside of LSU and Ole Miss the Razorbacks will be at home the rest of the season Mississippi State will be challenging but I expect the Razorbacks to win all of their home games and go 6-6

            Leonce I believe the team will go 6-6 with road losses against LSU and Ole Miss I also have faith that the Hogs will improve defensively and possibly pull an upset on the road against one of the two teams

            Pete The defense will have to carry the struggling offense if the Razorbacks are going to fin sh the season 6-6 Ole Miss and LSU are too tough especially on the road

            ormer Razorback pitcher Dallas Keuchel

            pitched his way to a vic-tory Sunday in the Houston Astrosrsquo third game against the Kansas City Royals in the American League Division Series

            In a 4-2 victory over Kansas City Keuchel pitched seven innings and gave up yuml ve hits He gave up a home run to centeryuml elder Lorenzo Cain in the fourth inning but it was the only run scored on Keuchel during the game

            deg e pitcher threw 124 pitches and struck out seven batters before being relieved by Tony Sipp

            Prior to that performance Keuchel helped the Astros punch a ticket to the series a er an impressive perfor-mance on the mound in the teamrsquos wild-card matchup against the New York Yan-kees

            Keuchelrsquos dominating play against the Yankees in the Astrosrsquo 3-0 victory was not the pitcherrsquos yuml rst great show-ing this season deg e pitcher had a mind-blowing 15-0 record in Houston during the regular season and he yuml n-ished the regular season with a 20-8 record as he willed his team into the postseason

            Going into the wild-card game the Astros and the Yankees were the two teams in the MLB that were most dependent on home runs deg e teams scored nearly half their runs because of the long ball

            Going up against veteran sluggers Alex Rodriguez and Carlos Beltran on the road was no small task for Keuchel who was playing in his yuml rst postseason environ-ment deg e Astros had not played in the postseason since 2005 when the organi-zation was crowned National League champion

            Andrew EppersonStaff Reporter

            Keuchel anchors AstrosInstead of crumbling

            under the pressure at Yankee Stadium against arguably the most successful team in MLB history Keuchel pitched a performance for the ages and turned the sports world upside down

            In six innings Keuchel gave up only three hits and a walk deg e ace did not commit a single error and 54 of his 87 pitches were strikes Keuchel struck out seven batters be-fore he was relieved by Sipp

            Keuchel faced the Yankees twice during the regular sea-son and won both times In June the pitcher struck out 12 batters in the Astrosrsquo shutout victory over the Yankees In August Keuchel pitched for seven scoreless innings and struck out nine Yankee batters

            A er his impressive regular season most experts believe the American League Cy Young race is between Keuchel and Toronto Blue Jays pitcher David Price deg e Cy Young Award is given to the best pitcher in each league

            Keuchelrsquos breakout season was somewhat unexpected because the pitcher earned a 12-9 record as a starting pitcher last season While many experts predicted he would have a solid year almost no one expected Keuchel to rise to the top of the American League

            When the le y won his 14th consecutive home start he set the franchise record for most consecutive home victories deg e record was previously set by Danny Darwin in 1990

            Before being dra ed by the Astros in the seventh round of the 2009 dra Keuchel played at Arkansas for three seasons He ended his college career with a 19-9 record for the Hogs and he started 17 games his senior season Keuchelrsquos 2009 Razorback team made a run in the Col-lege World Series before even-tually losing to the Louisiana State University Tigers

            F

            rkansas running back Alex Collins should be considered one of

            the best players in the South-eastern Conference

            Collins has produced more than 650 rushing yards while gaining more than 5 yards on every carry Hersquos on pace to rush for more than 1300 yards which would mark his third consecutive season to rush for more than 1000 yards

            COMMENTARY

            Austin AraujoStaff Reporter

            He yuml nished last season as the No 14 all-time leading rusher in school history If he continues his pace Collins will reach the third spot on that list

            Itrsquos a travesty that Collins isnrsquot consistently mentioned as one of the best runners in the SEC

            One of Collinsrsquo biggest rivals is Louisiana State Uni-versityrsquos Leonard Fournette Fournette started o slow against the University of South Carolina Gamecocks He yuml nished the yuml rst half with only 59 yards but he started the third quarter with a

            bang Fournette took a hand-o from the shotgun and zoomed his way to the end zone untouched He needed only one upyuml eld cut to score an 87-yard touchdown

            His touchdown was the type of statement the sopho-more running back who leads the NCAA in rushing yards needed to silence those who claim Fournettersquos early season success was because of his teamrsquos weak schedule

            It was a statement similar to the one Collins made last year against Texas Tech when he pulled o an 84-

            yard scamper to the end zone However Collins did that against a Red Raider defense that was not highly esteemed

            Fournettersquos 158 yards against South Carolina pushed his rushing total to more than 1000 yards in just yuml ve games this season He became the 10th player in Football Bowl Subdivision history to reach that total in yuml ve games ac-cording to ESPN

            Itrsquos easy to overlook Collinsrsquo superb play this season when a running back from a rival team is putting up historic numbers However that would be short cutting the perfor-

            mance of a player who has taken over the duties as the main running back for the yuml rst time in his career

            Collins has become the focus of a Razorback of-fense that is confused about its identity In 2014 the Hogs thrived on pound-ing their opponents with a ground game that punished and wore down defenses deg at rushing attack was built on the combination of Collins and Jonathan Wil-liams who rushed for more than 1100 yards last year deg is season Collins has been pushed into the solo

            A

            Alex Collins runs over the competition this seasonrole save for a few touches that have gone to freshman Rawleigh Williams

            Without the ability to rely on two talented running backs the Razorbacks are turning to an increasingly e ective passing attack Yet Collins is still on pace to obliterate his totals from last year

            Fans need to appreciate what theyrsquore seeing from Collins before he bolts for the NFL or count their lucky stars if he chooses to give it one more go in an Arkansas uniform

            Lady Hogs continue to struggle

            he UA soccer team dropped to 1-5-1 in Southeastern Con-

            ference play and 5-8-1 overall a er su ering close defeats to Ole Miss and Vanderbilt on Friday and Sunday respec-tively

            deg e Razorbacksrsquo matchup with Ole Miss ended with a gut-wrenching last-second goal in double overtime by Ole Miss defender Maddie Friedmann to give the Rebels a 2-1 victory

            deg e Rebels had the NCAA leader in game-winning goals in CeCe Kizer but it was Friedmann who put Ole Miss on top against the Hogs

            deg e other point for Ole Miss came when a Razorback

            player accidentally scored on her own goal in the 55th minute

            In the 64th minute Arkansas junior midyuml elder Rachel Riggs scored her yuml rst goal of the season to tie the game

            Claire Kelley and Reece Christopherson assisted on the goal which was a chip shot for Riggs a er Ole Miss goalkeeper Marnie Merritt fell down Razorback head coach Colby Hale said Riggsrsquo perfor-mance helped the Hogs down the stretch

            ldquoI thought she went in and added good minutes for usrdquo Hale said ldquoHonestly it wasnrsquot just the goal She did a few good things for usrdquo

            deg e Rebels had 16 shots on the night but freshman goalkeeper Jordan Harris ac-counted for eight saves

            deg e 1506 fans who attended the double-overtime thriller

            broke an attendance record at Razorback Field It was the yuml h-highest attendance in Razorback Field history Some of the crowd stayed a er the game to call the Hogs with the team and receive autographs from the players

            deg e team will bounce back from the loss and get better moving forward Hale said a er the game

            In the teamrsquos matchup against the Vanderbilt Com-modores the Razorbacks were unable to yuml nd the net in the 1-0 defeat

            Vanderbilt scored the only goal in the 11th minute when Simone Charley dropped one in from about 5 yards away from the goal However the Razorbacks held the Commo-dores scoreless for the rest of the game

            Arkansas nearly evened the score in the 67th minute

            when junior Alexandra Fischer appeared to score the equalizer but an o side call negated the goal

            deg e game was physical from the beginning and Arkansas racked up yuml ve fouls in the yuml rst half

            In the second half the Com-modores racked up nine fouls but yuml nished the game with a 13-to-8 advantage over the Razorbacks in the foul depart-ment

            Harris followed her perfor-mance against Ole Miss with a save in the yuml rst half against the Commodores Goalkeeper Cameron Carter played the other half against Vandy and she also earned a save

            SOCCER

            Central Oklahoma scored three goals with le wing Gavin Hohl forward Sam Rice and center Landon Robin all getting in on the action Hohl and Rice each added an assist

            Tempers rose quickly and players from both teams were separated multiple times throughout the night Each team had at least three di er-ent players spend time in the penalty box

            Arkansas had trouble convert-ing power-play opportunities even when Central Oklahoma was down two players late in the third period During the power play Arkansas pulled Ecklund to add an additional scoring threat but a pass intercepted by Central Oklahoma forward Josh Wyatt led to an easy score on an unprotected goal

            deg e second game was similar to the yuml rst with Ar-kansas striking yuml rst behind a goal from le wing Luc Gradisar It was the yuml rst of Gradisarrsquos two goals on the night deg e other came in the second period

            ldquoWe came out strong in the third period but we didnrsquot capitalize on a couple of power plays that we wanted tordquo defender Chris Green said ldquoWe grinded a lot in our defensive zone but we couldnrsquot get any momentum goingrdquo

            Rice right wing Andrei Novikov center Michael Rivera and forward Donald Danroth all added goals for Central Oklahoma

            Once again both teams had to be separated numer-

            ous times during the game At least six players on both sides served time in the penalty box

            Despite being a pickup game players from both teams became competitive and started talking smack

            Freshman guard Jimmy Whitt said he was playing to ldquoget his win for the dayrdquo

            Though facing Division I opponents the Wild Wheels

            never backed down from the challenge

            Blanchard said ldquoThe cama-raderie just blew me awayrdquo

            For Razorback players the pickup game is more than just a fun yearly rivalry

            ldquoWe just take it upon our-selves to do positive things

            in the communityrdquo sopho-more forward Trey Thomp-son said ldquoWe just take this time to give backrdquo

            The Razorbacks and the Wild Wheels played two

            games with each other The fi st game was a mix of the two teams but in the sec-ond game the Razorbacks competed against the Wild Wheels

            Both teams heckled each

            other as well as their own teammates

            Neither team offi ally kept score but Blanchard knew exactly the outcome of the game

            ldquoWho do you think wonrdquo Blanchard said ldquoWe run this houserdquo

            After the game the play-ers stayed behind to take pictures with each member of the Wild Wheels

            ldquoWe want to show it doesnrsquot have to be doom and gloomrdquo Blanched said ldquoWe want to set an examplerdquo

            The next competition for the Wild Wheels will be Nov 14 at the Rogers Activ-ity Center

            The azorbacks menrsquos basketball team took part in an exhibition against the Northwest Arkansas Wild Wheels for disability awareness month

            fter a tumultuous off eason for head coach Mike Anderson

            and the Razorback basket-ball team Anderson and his coaching staff are attempting to recruit top players who will put the team back in the national spotlight with marquee talent

            During the off eason Jacorey Williams Anton Beard and Dustin Thomas found themselves in legal trouble after police arrested them for allegedly using counterfeit money Williams was dismissed and Beard and Thomas were suspended from the team Beard and Thomas await trials and could be reinstated

            Arkansas also lost Ted Kapita one of the top recruits from the 2015 class who was ruled academically ineligible by NCAA offi als He will not be on campus for another year Kapita and fellow recruit Jimmy Whitt were the only ranked play-ers Anderson recruited last year With the departure of four of the teamrsquos leading scorers Kapita and Whitt were expected to fill produc-tion holes

            However many top re-cruits are still considering Arkansas

            Malik Monk the only five-star high school recruit in Arkansas has narrowed his list of schools to six The options include Arkansas Kentucky Oregon North Carolina Florida State and Kansas Arkansas and Kentucky are considered the favorites While Kentucky North Carolina and Kansas are perennial powerhouses Florida State has one of the best 2016 recruiting classes

            brother Marcus Monk played at Arkansas seven years ago as a receiver on the football team Monk also resides close to Fayetteville in Bentonville

            Monk is ranked fi h in the country and he would be the second five-star recruit in the state to choose the UofA over other options ac-cording to ESPN The other recruit was former Arkansas star Bobby Portis who led the team to its fi st NCAA Tournament bid since 2008

            Besides Monk Anderson has secured a commitment from two of the countryrsquos best junior college prospects in guards Daryl Macon and Jaylen Barford Macon from Holmes Community College in Mississippi averaged 23 points four rebounds and three assists a game

            Barford out of Motlow State Community College in Tennessee put up 20 points and five assists a game while grabbing seven boards Their scoring abilities should benefit the team when they make their way to Fayette-ville

            Arkansas is still awaiting the decision of four-star recruit DersquoRon Davis a 6-foot-8-inch power forward from Aurora Colorado

            For the 2017 recruiting class Arkansas has already received a commitment from in-state four-star power forward Daniel Gafford out of El Dorado The 6-foot-10-inch big man is ranked No 45 in ESPNrsquos ranking of high school juniors

            Jamal Johnson a 6-foot-4-inch shooting guard from the 2017 recruiting class could also play for Arkansas but he has yet to make a decision

            If Anderson and his staff can recruit top players such as Monk Davis and John-son the Razorbacksrsquo future looks bright

              Brendon Glidden wiped a bead of sweat from his upper brow and nervously took a sip of water A million thoughts went through his head as he stepped up to the counter

              Donrsquot screw this up Ten minutes on the clock to brew this cup You got this

              Glidden a certifi d barista and head of research and de-velopment for Onyx Coffee Lab in Fayetteville attended the Specialty Coffee Associa-tion of America Event ndash or the ldquoSCAA Eventrdquo as the competi-tors call it ndash in Seattle last year He left the rest of his team at SCAA to compete at the third annual United States Aero-Press Championship

              The AeroPress a manual coffee brewer more common in Europe than in the United States brews coffee in 20-40 seconds according to the of-fic al AeroPress website As Glidden explained the brewer is not that big of a deal in the US but it has its own follow-ing

              In this bracket-style com-petition Glidden had to cre-ate a simple recipe using the coffee the competition panel provide the perfect tempera-ture ratio of water and pres-sure and from there brew the best cup of coffee

              Before the competition Glidden created a simple rec-ipe for a collaboration he had worked on with retail com-pany Fayettechill He crafted the recipe to brew coffee while camping and it did not re-quire fancy tools but instead translated into scoops

              ldquo(At Onyx) we would never measure in scoops It is wildly inaccuraterdquo Glidden said ldquoBut that recipe is exactly what I used in the competi-tionrdquo

              Upon his arrival to the United States AeroPress Championship Gliddenrsquos nerves caught up to him While the other participants indulged in the beer provided by vendors Glidden stuck to water

              ldquoThere I was by myself in a room full of people mdash people Irsquod heard of and I knew had done wellrdquo he said ldquoI was ner-vous and alone hoping Irsquod do well toordquo

              Itrsquos super simple to do just replicate your recipe here Donrsquot screw this up

              Glidden 23 moved to Fayetteville from Fort Smith in 2012 with an associatersquos degree in computer-aided drafting and design and a goal to work for Pixar which he abandoned because it was too stressful he said

              He also had three years of experience working at Sweet Bay Coffee Co in Fort Smith

              ldquoInitially the job was just fun I wasnrsquot really into coffee I could have just worked at a smoothie shop and had the same level of interestrdquo he said

              He started working at Onyx in Fayetteville in sum-mer 2013 and during his time

              there learned he does not just brew coffee he crafts t

              ldquoI didnrsquot know pour-over coffee existed I didnrsquot know good coffee until I fully dis-covered that coffee is a craftrdquo he said ldquoThat was after I ab-sorbed the industry It was in-credibly eye-openingrdquo

              Because he had never com-peted before he practiced in Fayetteville with his own tools ndash one being a Refractometer a $500 device that measures the impurities in water ndash and coffee The contest supplied the brand of coffee to every competitor on the West Coast but because Glidden was com-ing from Arkansas he was not able to practice with it In-stead he had to fi d a similar type of coffee to practice with

              He showed up to the event which was about two miles away from SCAA and as-sumed there would be a prac-tice round to see how it would be run There was not but the judges allowed Glidden and a few other baristas from out of town to practice And then the competition began

              With their names written on the bottoms of their cups no one ndash not even the judges ndash knew which cup was which By the end of the fi st round the judges had blindly tasted each cup counted to three and pointed unanimously to a cup in front of them

              ldquoI thought I was out I thought lsquoYep thatrsquos it Irsquom done Irsquom out of my leaguersquordquo and then I found out the cup was mine and I was moving on to the next roundrdquo Glidden said ldquoBy the last round it was comfortable because the three of us knew we were placing We had made itrdquo

              Glidden ended up winning second place met Alan Adler inventor of the AeroPress and scored many coffee-associat-ed prizes as well as fame for Onyx Glidden and the two other winners Andrew Bet-tis in third place and Jeremy Moore in fi st came from the South Bettis and Moore came from Tennessee

              ldquoUsually in that coffee culture you expect (the win-ners) to live on the coast somewhere where the coffee is more of a thingrdquo Glidden said with a playful smirk on his face ldquoWe killed all these West Coast guysrdquo

              Onyx is the only shop in town with ldquolabrdquo in its title in Fayetteville and for good rea-son too There is more science to brewing the perfect cup of coffee than one might think

              ldquoAt times it seems obnox-ious just to get a cup of cof-fee but it all mattersrdquo Glidden said ldquoSome of it is way too science-yrdquo he said as he went on to talk about pH levels in water

              Glidden works the bar at Onyx two days a week but he is a full-time employee He focuses a good amount of his time on coming up with new concoctions for the seasonal drink menu for which he cre-ated his proudest achievement thus far the award-winning Srsquomores Gibraltar Th s drink has been featured on various coffee blogs and websites as well as magazines around Ar-kansas

              Dylan Siemens head baris-ta trainer at Onyx has worked with Glidden for two years

              ldquoBrendon is a really en-thusiastic and creative person about really all things coffeerdquo

              Siemens said ldquoWe both are good for pushing each other to the next level of being a baristardquo

              Along with his barista job Glidden is head of research and development for Onyx which includes organizing and creating the seasonal menus He also leads and teaches public classes and events such as coffee brewing and latte art at Whole Foods and the Little Craft Show in Fayetteville He also brews the Nitro Cold Brew at the Onyx warehouse where he brewed about 500 gallons of it this past summer

              ldquoHad you asked me last year if I thought Irsquod be doing research and development for the shop I would say lsquono Irsquoll be making drinks like every-one elsersquo I didnrsquot see myself here everrdquo he said

              When not compet-ing nationally Glidden and the Onyx team hold ldquoOnyx Th owdownrdquo events which consist of a block-party atmo-sphere in the shop Local ven-dors neighboring shops and customers come to the shop for a latte-art competition where those competing buy-in for $5 and the winner gets ldquothe money and the bragging rightsrdquo Glidden said

              Glidden plans on attending this yearrsquos US Brewerrsquos Cup a performance-based competi-tion that ldquorecognizes and cel-ebrates the art of manual cof-fee brewingrdquo according to the website

              ldquoTh s is my career Coffee is itrdquo he said ldquoIrsquom not sure where Irsquoll be year-by-year whether itrsquos working with farms in different countries or what but Irsquom defin tely work-ing on planning future tripsrdquo

              An Ozark Mountain stu-dent retreat camp is under construction 40 miles east of Fayetteville

              Rick Bailey who graduated from the UofA with a degree in mechanical engineering in the 1970s is constructing this camp on a plot of land located atop a mountain in Madison County A er spending 30 years in the oil and engineer-ing industry Bailey said he felt led to exit the business world and begin investing in peoplersquos lives

              ldquoI knew I was too old to be hired by Kanakukrdquo Bailey said ldquoso I took my savings le the oil industry and be-gan to develop a camp on a smaller scale and odeg er this camp to student and youth group organizationsrdquo

              In uenced greatly by his love for the outdoors Bailey stumbled upon 120 acres of land for sale and quickly pur-chased it

              ldquo˝ e camp has been in the works since January 2009rdquo Bailey said ldquoRight a er the big ice storm hitrdquo

              Noticing the fallen limbs and lumber that was scat-tered across the property a er his new purchase Bailey said he began to chop down dead trees and collect the wood that had already fallen to cre-ate a clearing for his camp

              A er catching a vision Bailey planned to use this wood he acquired on his land to build the camp from the ground up Bailey teamed up with several of his mules to drag the trees he cut into large piles to use later Shortly a er this commitment Bailey said he bought a sawmill and began to mill the tree trunks he had cut into usable lumber

              to construct the cabins on the campgrounds ˝ en began the long process of laying concrete foundations build-ing the concrete piers and as-sembling the log cabins from the wood he cut

              Since the beginning of the construction of this student camp Bailey said he has con-structed about 23 himself As word got out among the locals in the neighboring counties Bailey began to have people volunteer and help him build the camp

              ˝ ough still under con-struction Bailey has managed to erect three cabins several barns and sheds for storage his own house on the prop-erty and is building a large dining hall overlooking the valley

              ldquoIt is not the nicest place ever but it has come a long way since I was last out there a year agordquo junior Mason Les-ter said

              Bailey has many future vi-sions for the camp and has a variety of improvements and new additions he plans to incorporate in the camp he said ˝ e yuml rst of these addi-tions is boxing certain por-tions of the camp in glass in order to provide protection from the elements yet at the same time decreasing any type of barrier between hu-mans and nature

              Baileyrsquos most recent ac-quisition of land he said gave him access to 11 acres of White River property to serve as a swimming hole and al-low for opportunities to teach kayaking classes

              Bailey has built several ropes courses with various degrees of di culty Bailey said that he owns $10000 worth of paintball equipment for guests to use and play with at their leisure Also a profes-sional archery course is in the making Bailey said for ar-

              chers to come practice as well as for beginners to learn A BB gun range is being built to accommodate for the 30 guns Bailey owns Rock climbing and repelling practice is also a future addition Bailey said

              ldquoI am a proponent of edu-cationrdquo Bailey said ldquoWe have areas where geology students would thrive fossils in rocks bludeg lines on the river and much morerdquo

              Fair chase is the ethical and lawful pursuit of wild game that does not give the hunter an im-proper advantage over the ani-mals according to the Boone and Crockett Club founded by ˝ eodore Roosevelt and others in 1887

              Other students at the UofA who hunt said that they have heard about game wardens in the area running a tight shi in Arkansas making sure that il-legal hunting does not happen

              enior cross country run-ner Dominique Scott has done it all

              She is a two-time winner of the Southeastern Conference Runner of the Year award and a two-time NCAA All-American She also has seven individual titles

              But this season Scott is striv-ing toward another goal

              ldquoMy biggest goal of the year is to be a team leader and to be a role modelrdquo Scott said

              ldquoWe have a really young group of girls this year I just want to make sure I set a good example for them and give back to the team because when I was younger there were a lot of good leaders on the teamrdquo

              Coach Lance Harter has nothing but praise for his star runner

              ldquoShersquos tremendousrdquo Harter said ldquoShe talks to the under-classmen and shersquos a great leaderrdquo

              Though the team has several

              freshman Scott said she is looking to capitalize on the teamrsquos fi h-place fin sh at the end of last season

              ldquoMy goal for the team is to be top 10 this yearrdquo Scott said ldquoIf this young team can go in be confide t take the bull by the horns and embrace the oppor-tunity we can accomplish itrdquo

              It helps that the team has the No 1 runner in the country who already won her fi st meet of the season Oct 3 at the Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival

              Scott ranked second coming into the season but after her fi st-place fin sh she moved into the top spot

              ldquoIrsquom at the level now that I enjoy the pressurerdquo Scott said ldquoPressure either breaks people or it makes them rise to the oc-

              casion Hopefully I can rise to the occasion but rankings are just numbers on a page People are just guessing on themrdquo

              Scott said she wasnrsquot totally surprised by the honor She fin shed track season last year by placing second in both the 10K and the 5K

              ldquoMost people canrsquot do bothrdquo

              Scott said ldquoItrsquos like a double suicide You get one day of rest in betweenrdquo

              If success is based on how much an athlete trains then itrsquos no surprise that Scott is a dominant runner

              On average Scott runs 75 miles a week but she reduces that to 60 miles a week prior racing Those numbers are without running Sundays

              While running Scott is unfazed by any dist-

              raction the world tries to throw at her she said

              ldquoIrsquom very focusedrdquo Scott said ldquoPeople often say lsquoDid you hear me cheeringrsquo And Irsquoll say lsquoOh yeah I didrsquo but I really didnrsquot because everything is blocked out Itrsquos like a tunnelrdquo

              Harter said he knows that Scott has the tools and determination to win at nationals a personal goal of Scott during her last year of eligibility

              ldquoShe has very high goals and very high expectations so we try to help her notch it up another level so she can achieve themrdquo Harter said

              After her eligibility expires Scott has her eyes on running professionally The 2020 Tokyo Olympics is a realistic goal and it is something Scott has dreamed about since she was a little girl she said

              ldquoI feel so blessed that Irsquom able to live out my dreamrdquo Scott said

              The season will begin Feb 19 against Central Michigan University

              The Razorbacks will play 16 of their fi st 19 games at Baum Stadium as well as 19 of their 26 nonconference games

              Fans in central Arkansas can watch the team play April 12 when the Razorbacks take on the University of Louisiana-Monroe at Dickey-Stephens Park in North Little Rock

              Q Is it time the Ra-zorbacks look else-where at the quar-terback position

              Alex No matter how bad Brandon Allen may seem in the fourth quarter he still has the most experience under center The next best option is a guy who has only attempted 18 passes in his career BA is still our guy until the end of the season

              Andrew Allen is the only capable quarterback on the roster right now The fact that hersquos even kept the Razorbacks competitive is crazy consider-ing how many offensive players are injured

              Austin Whatrsquos the point Even if Allen wasnrsquot the best option which he is benching him would only lead to confli t within the team It would signal the end of the coaching staff rsquos hopes for the season too

              Chandler Replace him with whom Allen is the best option available so there is no other reason to look elsewhere

              Leonce Fans have to un-derstand that there isnrsquot anyone on the roster who can do what Allen has been doing this sea-son He is the best option right now If Bret Bielema wanted to lose his job which I know he doesnrsquot he would bench Allen Itrsquos nonsense

              Pete If the Razorbacks are knocked out of bowl contention they should look elsewhere Ty Storey and Rafe Peavey are playmakers and thatrsquos something Razorback fans havenrsquot seen in a quarter-back since Matt Jones Letrsquos be honest Allen is absolutely replaceable at quarterback

              Tye No but that changes if the Razorbacks lose enough games to be knocked out of bowl contention If that happens Allen should be benched

              Traveler Staff Mid-Season Round Table Discussion

              Q Will the Razor-backs ever make the College Foot-ball Playoff under Bielema

              Alex Yes they will Arkan-sas has the talent and will have the quarterback play in the future to lead this team to the playoffs u der Bielema

              Andrew The Razorbacks wonrsquot make the CFP as long as theyrsquore in the Southeastern Conference and canrsquot recruit as well as other teams A team needs more than coaching to win the SEC let alone play in the CFP

              Austin No one expected coach Bielema to lead Ar-kansas to the CFP in his fi st three years Theyrsquoll make it eventually because the top SEC teams are always likely to have at least a loss or two on their record which could provide the Razorbacks with a window to nab an SEC title

              Chandler As long as the Razorbacks are in the SEC no Coach Bielema is a fantastic coach but the SEC is on an-other level

              Leonce I doubt it Arkansas just doesnrsquot possess the appeal of LSU Alabama and Texas AampM in the SEC West Itrsquoll be too tough to recruit top-tier talent to make the playoff I sincerely hope Irsquom wrong but I donrsquot see the Razorbacks winning 11 games and winning the SEC to make the playoff

              Pete Yes I really like the vision Bielema has for the team With teams lean-ing more and more toward spreading the fi ld Bielema is still determined to build an old-school team that may be tough for opposing defenses It all depends on if he stays long enough to see his vision carried out

              Tye Simple answer No

              Q The Razor-backs are 2-4 Will they become bowl eligible this season

              Alex Yes they will Winning at home will make the Razorbacks eligible for a bowl game Who knows Maybe theyrsquoll play Texas again and wersquoll have a repeat of last season

              AndrewThe Razor-backs will miss a bowl game because of their early season blunders Therersquos always next year

              Austin The Hogs should just squeak into bowl eligibility to give the seniors and fans one last look at the team

              Chandler Yes Wins over Auburn UT-Martin Mississippi State and Missouri will get the Razorbacks to a bowl

              Leonce Yes but barely The Hogs will break even and sneak into the postseason They need to make sure they donrsquot slip up at home for the rest of the season because a road win will be tough

              Pete If the defense continues to play as well as it did against Alabama then the Hogs might be able to save the season from being a total disaster and make a bowl game

              Tye Yes The defen-sive players will come alive just as they did late last year The surge in the defense will pro-pel the Razorbacks to a second-consecutive bowl under Bielema

              Alex Arkansas will go 6-6 and lose to Louisiana State University and Ole Miss Auburn and Mississippi State will be close games but the Razorbacks will fi d a way to win

              Andrew The Hogs will fin sh 5-7 Wins over Tennes-see Auburn and Missouri will be the highlights of Arkansasrsquo season

              Austin The Razorbacks will fin sh with a 5-7 record and fin sh the year with a win over Missouri after Thanks-giving Auburn is looking vulnerable and the Razor-backs should be able to strike after coming off a ye week The University of Tennessee-Martin will be a much-needed cupcake on homecoming and provide the Hogs with a win

              Chandler Outside of LSU and Ole Miss the Razorbacks will be at home the rest of the season Mississippi State will be challenging but I expect the Razorbacks to win all of their home games and go 6-6

              Leonce I believe the team will go 6-6 with road losses against LSU and Ole Miss I also have faith that the Hogs will improve defensively and possibly pull an upset on the road against one of the two teams

              Pete The defense will have to carry the struggling offense if the Razorbacks are going to fin sh the season 6-6 Ole Miss and LSU are too tough especially on the road

              Tye Arkansas will fin sh 6-6 The Hogs will have wins over Auburn UT-Martin Mississippi State and Mis-souri

              ormer Razorback pitcher Dallas Keuchel

              pitched his way to a vic-tory Sunday in the Houston Astrosrsquo third game against the Kansas City Royals in the American League Division Series

              In a 4-2 victory over Kansas City Keuchel pitched seven innings and gave up yuml ve hits He gave up a home run to centeryuml elder Lorenzo Cain in the fourth inning but it was the only run scored on Keuchel during the game

              deg e pitcher threw 124 pitches and struck out seven batters before being relieved by Tony Sipp

              Prior to that performance Keuchel helped the Astros punch a ticket to the series a er an impressive perfor-mance on the mound in the teamrsquos wild-card matchup against the New York Yan-kees

              Keuchelrsquos dominating play against the Yankees in the Astrosrsquo 3-0 victory was not the pitcherrsquos yuml rst great show-ing this season deg e pitcher had a mind-blowing 15-0 record in Houston during the regular season and he yuml n-ished the regular season with a 20-8 record as he willed his team into the postseason

              Going into the wild-card game the Astros and the Yankees were the two teams in the MLB that were most dependent on home runs deg e teams scored nearly half their runs because of the long ball

              Going up against veteran sluggers Alex Rodriguez and Carlos Beltran on the road was no small task for Keuchel who was playing in his yuml rst postseason environ-ment deg e Astros had not played in the postseason since 2005 when the organi-zation was crowned National League champion

              Andrew EppersonStaff Reporter

              Keuchel anchors AstrosInstead of crumbling

              under the pressure at Yankee Stadium against arguably the most successful team in MLB history Keuchel pitched a performance for the ages and turned the sports world upside down

              In six innings Keuchel gave up only three hits and a walk deg e ace did not commit a single error and 54 of his 87 pitches were strikes Keuchel struck out seven batters be-fore he was relieved by Sipp

              Keuchel faced the Yankees twice during the regular sea-son and won both times In June the pitcher struck out 12 batters in the Astrosrsquo shutout victory over the Yankees In August Keuchel pitched for seven scoreless innings and struck out nine Yankee batters

              A er his impressive regular season most experts believe the American League Cy Young race is between Keuchel and Toronto Blue Jays pitcher David Price deg e Cy Young Award is given to the best pitcher in each league

              Keuchelrsquos breakout season was somewhat unexpected because the pitcher earned a 12-9 record as a starting pitcher last season While many experts predicted he would have a solid year almost no one expected Keuchel to rise to the top of the American League

              When the le y won his 14th consecutive home start he set the franchise record for most consecutive home victories deg e record was previously set by Danny Darwin in 1990

              Before being dra ed by the Astros in the seventh round of the 2009 dra Keuchel played at Arkansas for three seasons He ended his college career with a 19-9 record for the Hogs and he started 17 games his senior season Keuchelrsquos 2009 Razorback team made a run in the Col-lege World Series before even-tually losing to the Louisiana State University Tigers

              rkansas running back Alex Collins should be considered one of

              the best players in the South-eastern Conference

              Collins has produced more than 650 rushing yards while gaining more than 5 yards on every carry Hersquos on pace to rush for more than 1300 yards which would mark his third consecutive season to rush for more than 1000 yards

              COMMENTARY

              Austin AraujoStaff Reporter

              He yuml nished last season as the No 14 all-time leading rusher in school history If he continues his pace Collins will reach the third spot on that list

              Itrsquos a travesty that Collins isnrsquot consistently mentioned as one of the best runners in the SEC

              One of Collinsrsquo biggest rivals is Louisiana State Uni-versityrsquos Leonard Fournette Fournette started o slow against the University of South Carolina Gamecocks He yuml nished the yuml rst half with only 59 yards but he started the third quarter with a

              bang Fournette took a hand-o from the shotgun and zoomed his way to the end zone untouched He needed only one upyuml eld cut to score an 87-yard touchdown

              His touchdown was the type of statement the sopho-more running back who leads the NCAA in rushing yards needed to silence those who claim Fournettersquos early season success was because of his teamrsquos weak schedule

              It was a statement similar to the one Collins made last year against Texas Tech when he pulled o an 84-

              yard scamper to the end zone However Collins did that against a Red Raider defense that was not highly esteemed

              Fournettersquos 158 yards against South Carolina pushed his rushing total to more than 1000 yards in just yuml ve games this season He became the 10th player in Football Bowl Subdivision history to reach that total in yuml ve games ac-cording to ESPN

              Itrsquos easy to overlook Collinsrsquo superb play this season when a running back from a rival team is putting up historic numbers However that would be short cutting the perfor-

              mance of a player who has taken over the duties as the main running back for the yuml rst time in his career

              Collins has become the focus of a Razorback of-fense that is confused about its identity In 2014 the Hogs thrived on pound-ing their opponents with a ground game that punished and wore down defenses deg at rushing attack was built on the combination of Collins and Jonathan Wil-liams who rushed for more than 1100 yards last year deg is season Collins has been pushed into the solo

              A

              Alex Collins runs over the competition this seasonrole save for a few touches that have gone to freshman Rawleigh Williams

              Without the ability to rely on two talented running backs the Razorbacks are turning to an increasingly e ective passing attack Yet Collins is still on pace to obliterate his totals from last year

              Fans need to appreciate what theyrsquore seeing from Collins before he bolts for the NFL or count their lucky stars if he chooses to give it one more go in an Arkansas uniform

              deg e Razorbacksrsquo matchup with Ole Miss ended with a gut-wrenching last-second goal in double overtime by Ole Miss defender Maddie Friedmann to give the Rebels a 2-1 victory

              deg e Rebels had the NCAA leader in game-winning goals in CeCe Kizer but it was Friedmann who put Ole Miss on top against the Hogs

              deg e other point for Ole Miss came when a Razorback

              player accidentally scored on her own goal in the 55th minute

              In the 64th minute Arkansas junior midyuml elder Rachel Riggs scored her yuml rst goal of the season to tie the game

              Claire Kelley and Reece Christopherson assisted on the goal which was a chip shot for Riggs a er Ole Miss goalkeeper Marnie Merritt fell down Razorback head coach Colby Hale said Riggsrsquo perfor-mance helped the Hogs down the stretch

              ldquoI thought she went in and added good minutes for usrdquo Hale said ldquoHonestly it wasnrsquot just the goal She did a few good things for usrdquo

              deg e Rebels had 16 shots on the night but freshman goalkeeper Jordan Harris ac-counted for eight saves

              In the teamrsquos matchup against the Vanderbilt Com-modores the Razorbacks were unable to yuml nd the net in the 1-0 defeat

              Vanderbilt scored the only goal in the 11th minute when Simone Charley dropped one in from about 5 yards away from the goal However the Razorbacks held the Commo-dores scoreless for the rest of the game

              Arkansas nearly evened the score in the 67th minute

              when junior Alexandra Fischer appeared to score the equalizer but an o side call negated the goal

              deg e game was physical from the beginning and Arkansas racked up yuml ve fouls in the yuml rst half

              In the second half the Com-modores racked up nine fouls but yuml nished the game with a 13-to-8 advantage over the Razorbacks in the foul depart-ment

              Harris followed her perfor-mance against Ole Miss with a save in the yuml rst half against the Commodores Goalkeeper Cameron Carter played the other half against Vandy and she also earned a save

              SOCCER

              Central Oklahoma scored three goals with le wing Gavin Hohl forward Sam Rice and center Landon Robin all getting in on the action Hohl and Rice each added an assist

              Tempers rose quickly and players from both teams were separated multiple times throughout the night Each team had at least three di er-ent players spend time in the penalty box

              Arkansas had trouble convert-ing power-play opportunities even when Central Oklahoma was down two players late in the third period During the power play Arkansas pulled Ecklund to add an additional scoring threat but a pass intercepted by Central Oklahoma forward Josh Wyatt led to an easy score on an unprotected goal

              deg e second game was similar to the yuml rst with Ar-kansas striking yuml rst behind a goal from le wing Luc Gradisar It was the yuml rst of Gradisarrsquos two goals on the night deg e other came in the second period

              ldquoWe came out strong in the third period but we didnrsquot capitalize on a couple of power plays that we wanted tordquo defender Chris Green said ldquoWe grinded a lot in our defensive zone but we couldnrsquot get any momentum goingrdquo

              Rice right wing Andrei Novikov center Michael Rivera and forward Donald Danroth all added goals for Central Oklahoma

              Once again both teams had to be separated numer-

              ous times during the game At least six players on both sides served time in the penalty box

              ldquodeg erersquos always a little talk-ing between teams but the refs didnrsquot call as many as they should have and didnrsquot get control of the game earlyrdquo Green said

              Monk is ranked fi h in the country and he would be the second five-star recruit in the state to choose the UofA over other options ac-cording to ESPN The other recruit was former Arkansas star Bobby Portis who led the team to its fi st NCAA Tournament bid since 2008

              Besides Monk Anderson has secured a commitment from two of the countryrsquos best junior college prospects in guards Daryl Macon and Jaylen Barford Macon from Holmes Community College in Mississippi averaged 23 points four rebounds and three assists a game

              Barford out of Motlow State Community College in Tennessee put up 20 points and five assists a game while grabbing seven boards Their scoring abilities should benefit the team when they make their way to Fayette-ville

              Jamal Johnson a 6-foot-4-inch shooting guard from the 2017 recruiting class could also play for Arkansas but he has yet to make a decision

                An Ozark Mountain stu-dent retreat camp is under construction 40 miles east of Fayetteville

                Rick Bailey who graduated from the UofA with a degree in mechanical engineering in the 1970s is constructing this camp on a plot of land located atop a mountain in Madison County A er spending 30 years in the oil and engineer-ing industry Bailey said he felt led to exit the business world and begin investing in peoplersquos lives

                ldquoI knew I was too old to be hired by Kanakukrdquo Bailey said ldquoso I took my savings le the oil industry and be-gan to develop a camp on a smaller scale and odeg er this camp to student and youth group organizationsrdquo

                In uenced greatly by his love for the outdoors Bailey stumbled upon 120 acres of land for sale and quickly pur-chased it

                ldquo˝ e camp has been in the works since January 2009rdquo Bailey said ldquoRight a er the big ice storm hitrdquo

                Noticing the fallen limbs and lumber that was scat-tered across the property a er his new purchase Bailey said he began to chop down dead trees and collect the wood that had already fallen to cre-ate a clearing for his camp

                A er catching a vision Bailey planned to use this wood he acquired on his land to build the camp from the ground up Bailey teamed up with several of his mules to drag the trees he cut into large piles to use later Shortly a er this commitment Bailey said he bought a sawmill and began to mill the tree trunks he had cut into usable lumber

                to construct the cabins on the campgrounds ˝ en began the long process of laying concrete foundations build-ing the concrete piers and as-sembling the log cabins from the wood he cut

                Since the beginning of the construction of this student camp Bailey said he has con-structed about 23 himself As word got out among the locals in the neighboring counties Bailey began to have people volunteer and help him build the camp

                ˝ ough still under con-struction Bailey has managed to erect three cabins several barns and sheds for storage his own house on the prop-erty and is building a large dining hall overlooking the valley

                ldquoIt is not the nicest place ever but it has come a long way since I was last out there a year agordquo junior Mason Les-ter said

                Bailey has many future vi-sions for the camp and has a variety of improvements and new additions he plans to incorporate in the camp he said ˝ e yuml rst of these addi-tions is boxing certain por-tions of the camp in glass in order to provide protection from the elements yet at the same time decreasing any type of barrier between hu-mans and nature

                Baileyrsquos most recent ac-quisition of land he said gave him access to 11 acres of White River property to serve as a swimming hole and al-low for opportunities to teach kayaking classes

                Bailey has built several ropes courses with various degrees of di culty Bailey said that he owns $10000 worth of paintball equipment for guests to use and play with at their leisure Also a profes-sional archery course is in the making Bailey said for ar-

                chers to come practice as well as for beginners to learn A BB gun range is being built to accommodate for the 30 guns Bailey owns Rock climbing and repelling practice is also a future addition Bailey said

                ldquoI am a proponent of edu-cationrdquo Bailey said ldquoWe have areas where geology students would thrive fossils in rocks bludeg lines on the river and much morerdquo

                Future additions also in-clude a skeet shooting range a combat pistol range con-cealed handgun license train-ing a yuml sh pond guided squir-rel hunts a pavilion and a sports and recreation area

                ldquo˝ is isnrsquot just a summer to summer camp but a weekend camprdquo Bailey said

                Bailey is open to have any type of group or organiza-tion to his property for a fun getaway whether it be for a bachelor party a faith-based group a fraternity or soror-ity get together family bond-ing or simply a class of nature loving students and their pro-fessor It is a great place to get away and experience the won-ders of nature Bailey said

                Stephen Billings a stadeg member a part of Student Mobilization or StuMo re-cently made a trip to Baileyrsquos camp for a menrsquos retreat

                ldquoIt was awesomerdquo he said ldquoRick was a huge blessing and helped us out with ev-erything Our crew got to get away from all distractions and focus on areas of growth and had a great timerdquo

                Fair chase is the ethical and lawful pursuit of wild game that does not give the hunter an im-proper advantage over the ani-mals according to the Boone and Crockett Club founded by ˝ eodore Roosevelt and others in 1887

                enior cross country run-ner Dominique Scott has done it all

                She is a two-time winner of the Southeastern Conference Runner of the Year award and a two-time NCAA All-American She also has seven individual titles

                But this season Scott is striv-ing toward another goal

                ldquoMy biggest goal of the year is to be a team leader and to be a role modelrdquo Scott said

                ldquoWe have a really young group of girls this year I just want to make sure I set a good example for them and give back to the team because when I was younger there were a lot of good leaders on the teamrdquo

                Coach Lance Harter has nothing but praise for his star runner

                ldquoShersquos tremendousrdquo Harter said ldquoShe talks to the under-classmen and shersquos a great leaderrdquo

                Though the team has several

                freshman Scott said she is looking to capitalize on the teamrsquos fi h-place fin sh at the end of last season

                ldquoMy goal for the team is to be top 10 this yearrdquo Scott said ldquoIf this young team can go in be confide t take the bull by the horns and embrace the oppor-tunity we can accomplish itrdquo

                It helps that the team has the No 1 runner in the country who already won her fi st meet of the season Oct 3 at the Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival

                Scott ranked second coming into the season but after her fi st-place fin sh she moved into the top spot

                ldquoIrsquom at the level now that I enjoy the pressurerdquo Scott said ldquoPressure either breaks people or it makes them rise to the oc-

                casion Hopefully I can rise to the occasion but rankings are just numbers on a page People are just guessing on themrdquo

                Scott said she wasnrsquot totally surprised by the honor She fin shed track season last year by placing second in both the 10K and the 5K

                ldquoMost people canrsquot do bothrdquo

                Scott said ldquoItrsquos like a double suicide You get one day of rest in betweenrdquo

                If success is based on how much an athlete trains then itrsquos no surprise that Scott is a dominant runner

                On average Scott runs 75 miles a week but she reduces that to 60 miles a week prior racing Those numbers are without running Sundays

                While running Scott is unfazed by any dist-

                raction the world tries to throw at her she said

                ldquoIrsquom very focusedrdquo Scott said ldquoPeople often say lsquoDid you hear me cheeringrsquo And Irsquoll say lsquoOh yeah I didrsquo but I really didnrsquot because everything is blocked out Itrsquos like a tunnelrdquo

                Harter said he knows that Scott has the tools and determination to win at nationals a personal goal of Scott during her last year of eligibility

                ldquoShe has very high goals and very high expectations so we try to help her notch it up another level so she can achieve themrdquo Harter said

                After her eligibility expires Scott has her eyes on running professionally The 2020 Tokyo Olympics is a realistic goal and it is something Scott has dreamed about since she was a little girl she said

                ldquoI feel so blessed that Irsquom able to live out my dreamrdquo Scott said

                Q Is it time the Ra-zorbacks look else-where at the quar-terback position

                Alex No matter how bad Brandon Allen may seem in the fourth quarter he still has the most experience under center The next best option is a guy who has only attempted 18 passes in his career BA is still our guy until the end of the season

                Andrew Allen is the only capable quarterback on the roster right now The fact that hersquos even kept the Razorbacks competitive is crazy consider-ing how many offensive players are injured

                Austin Whatrsquos the point Even if Allen wasnrsquot the best option which he is benching him would only lead to confli t within the team It would signal the end of the coaching staff rsquos hopes for the season too

                Chandler Replace him with whom Allen is the best option available so there is no other reason to look elsewhere

                Leonce Fans have to un-derstand that there isnrsquot anyone on the roster who can do what Allen has been doing this sea-son He is the best option right now If Bret Bielema wanted to lose his job which I know he doesnrsquot he would bench Allen Itrsquos nonsense

                Pete If the Razorbacks are knocked out of bowl contention they should look elsewhere Ty Storey and Rafe Peavey are playmakers and thatrsquos something Razorback fans havenrsquot seen in a quarter-back since Matt Jones Letrsquos be honest Allen is absolutely replaceable at quarterback

                Tye No but that changes if the Razorbacks lose enough games to be knocked out of bowl contention If that happens Allen should be benched

                Traveler Staff Mid-Season Round Table Discussion

                Q Will the Razor-backs ever make the College Foot-ball Playoff under Bielema

                Alex Yes they will Arkan-sas has the talent and will have the quarterback play in the future to lead this team to the playoffs u der Bielema

                Andrew The Razorbacks wonrsquot make the CFP as long as theyrsquore in the Southeastern Conference and canrsquot recruit as well as other teams A team needs more than coaching to win the SEC let alone play in the CFP

                Austin No one expected coach Bielema to lead Ar-kansas to the CFP in his fi st three years Theyrsquoll make it eventually because the top SEC teams are always likely to have at least a loss or two on their record which could provide the Razorbacks with a window to nab an SEC title

                Chandler As long as the Razorbacks are in the SEC no Coach Bielema is a fantastic coach but the SEC is on an-other level

                Leonce I doubt it Arkansas just doesnrsquot possess the appeal of LSU Alabama and Texas AampM in the SEC West Itrsquoll be too tough to recruit top-tier talent to make the playoff I sincerely hope Irsquom wrong but I donrsquot see the Razorbacks winning 11 games and winning the SEC to make the playoff

                Pete Yes I really like the vision Bielema has for the team With teams lean-ing more and more toward spreading the fi ld Bielema is still determined to build an old-school team that may be tough for opposing defenses It all depends on if he stays long enough to see his vision carried out

                Tye Simple answer No

                ldquoPressure either breaks people or it makes them rise to the occasion Hope-fully I can rise to the occasion but rank-

                ings are just numbers on a pagerdquoDominique Scott

                Q The Razor-backs are 2-4 Will they become bowl eligible this season

                Alex Yes they will Winning at home will make the Razorbacks eligible for a bowl game Who knows Maybe theyrsquoll play Texas again and wersquoll have a repeat of last season

                AndrewThe Razor-backs will miss a bowl game because of their early season blunders Therersquos always next year

                Austin The Hogs should just squeak into bowl eligibility to give the seniors and fans one last look at the team

                Chandler Yes Wins over Auburn UT-Martin Mississippi State and Missouri will get the Razorbacks to a bowl

                Leonce Yes but barely The Hogs will break even and sneak into the postseason They need to make sure they donrsquot slip up at home for the rest of the season because a road win will be tough

                Pete If the defense continues to play as well as it did against Alabama then the Hogs might be able to save the season from being a total disaster and make a bowl game

                Tye Yes The defen-sive players will come alive just as they did late last year The surge in the defense will pro-pel the Razorbacks to a second-consecutive bowl under Bielema

                Andrew The Hogs will fin sh 5-7 Wins over Tennes-see Auburn and Missouri will be the highlights of Arkansasrsquo season

                Austin The Razorbacks will fin sh with a 5-7 record and fin sh the year with a win over Missouri after Thanks-giving Auburn is looking vulnerable and the Razor-backs should be able to strike after coming off a ye week The University of Tennessee-Martin will be a much-needed cupcake on homecoming and provide the Hogs with a win

                Chandler Outside of LSU and Ole Miss the Razorbacks will be at home the rest of the season Mississippi State will be challenging but I expect the Razorbacks to win all of their home games and go 6-6

                Leonce I believe the team will go 6-6 with road losses against LSU and Ole Miss I also have faith that the Hogs will improve defensively and possibly pull an upset on the road against one of the two teams

                Pete The defense will have to carry the struggling offense if the Razorbacks are going to fin sh the season 6-6 Ole Miss and LSU are too tough especially on the road

                ormer Razorback pitcher Dallas Keuchel

                pitched his way to a vic-tory Sunday in the Houston Astrosrsquo third game against the Kansas City Royals in the American League Division Series

                In a 4-2 victory over Kansas City Keuchel pitched seven innings and gave up yuml ve hits He gave up a home run to centeryuml elder Lorenzo Cain in the fourth inning but it was the only run scored on Keuchel during the game

                deg e pitcher threw 124 pitches and struck out seven batters before being relieved by Tony Sipp

                Prior to that performance Keuchel helped the Astros punch a ticket to the series a er an impressive perfor-mance on the mound in the teamrsquos wild-card matchup against the New York Yan-kees

                Keuchelrsquos dominating play against the Yankees in the Astrosrsquo 3-0 victory was not the pitcherrsquos yuml rst great show-ing this season deg e pitcher had a mind-blowing 15-0 record in Houston during the regular season and he yuml n-ished the regular season with a 20-8 record as he willed his team into the postseason

                Going into the wild-card game the Astros and the Yankees were the two teams in the MLB that were most dependent on home runs deg e teams scored nearly half their runs because of the long ball

                Going up against veteran sluggers Alex Rodriguez and Carlos Beltran on the road was no small task for Keuchel who was playing in his yuml rst postseason environ-ment deg e Astros had not played in the postseason since 2005 when the organi-zation was crowned National League champion

                Andrew EppersonStaff Reporter

                Keuchel anchors AstrosInstead of crumbling

                under the pressure at Yankee Stadium against arguably the most successful team in MLB history Keuchel pitched a performance for the ages and turned the sports world upside down

                In six innings Keuchel gave up only three hits and a walk deg e ace did not commit a single error and 54 of his 87 pitches were strikes Keuchel struck out seven batters be-fore he was relieved by Sipp

                Keuchel faced the Yankees twice during the regular sea-son and won both times In June the pitcher struck out 12 batters in the Astrosrsquo shutout victory over the Yankees In August Keuchel pitched for seven scoreless innings and struck out nine Yankee batters

                A er his impressive regular season most experts believe the American League Cy Young race is between Keuchel and Toronto Blue Jays pitcher David Price deg e Cy Young Award is given to the best pitcher in each league

                Keuchelrsquos breakout season was somewhat unexpected because the pitcher earned a 12-9 record as a starting pitcher last season While many experts predicted he would have a solid year almost no one expected Keuchel to rise to the top of the American League

                When the le y won his 14th consecutive home start he set the franchise record for most consecutive home victories deg e record was previously set by Danny Darwin in 1990

                Before being dra ed by the Astros in the seventh round of the 2009 dra Keuchel played at Arkansas for three seasons He ended his college career with a 19-9 record for the Hogs and he started 17 games his senior season Keuchelrsquos 2009 Razorback team made a run in the Col-lege World Series before even-tually losing to the Louisiana State University Tigers

                rkansas running back Alex Collins should be considered one of

                the best players in the South-eastern Conference

                Collins has produced more than 650 rushing yards while gaining more than 5 yards on every carry Hersquos on pace to rush for more than 1300 yards which would mark his third consecutive season to rush for more than 1000 yards

                COMMENTARY

                Austin AraujoStaff Reporter

                He yuml nished last season as the No 14 all-time leading rusher in school history If he continues his pace Collins will reach the third spot on that list

                Itrsquos a travesty that Collins isnrsquot consistently mentioned as one of the best runners in the SEC

                One of Collinsrsquo biggest rivals is Louisiana State Uni-versityrsquos Leonard Fournette Fournette started o slow against the University of South Carolina Gamecocks He yuml nished the yuml rst half with only 59 yards but he started the third quarter with a

                bang Fournette took a hand-o from the shotgun and zoomed his way to the end zone untouched He needed only one upyuml eld cut to score an 87-yard touchdown

                His touchdown was the type of statement the sopho-more running back who leads the NCAA in rushing yards needed to silence those who claim Fournettersquos early season success was because of his teamrsquos weak schedule

                It was a statement similar to the one Collins made last year against Texas Tech when he pulled o an 84-

                yard scamper to the end zone However Collins did that against a Red Raider defense that was not highly esteemed

                Fournettersquos 158 yards against South Carolina pushed his rushing total to more than 1000 yards in just yuml ve games this season He became the 10th player in Football Bowl Subdivision history to reach that total in yuml ve games ac-cording to ESPN

                Itrsquos easy to overlook Collinsrsquo superb play this season when a running back from a rival team is putting up historic numbers However that would be short cutting the perfor-

                mance of a player who has taken over the duties as the main running back for the yuml rst time in his career

                Collins has become the focus of a Razorback of-fense that is confused about its identity In 2014 the Hogs thrived on pound-ing their opponents with a ground game that punished and wore down defenses deg at rushing attack was built on the combination of Collins and Jonathan Wil-liams who rushed for more than 1100 yards last year deg is season Collins has been pushed into the solo

                Without the ability to rely on two talented running backs the Razorbacks are turning to an increasingly e ective passing attack Yet Collins is still on pace to obliterate his totals from last year

                Fans need to appreciate what theyrsquore seeing from Collins before he bolts for the NFL or count their lucky stars if he chooses to give it one more go in an Arkansas uniform

                Lady Hogs continue to struggle

                he UA soccer team dropped to 1-5-1 in Southeastern Con-

                ference play and 5-8-1 overall a er su ering close defeats to Ole Miss and Vanderbilt on Friday and Sunday respec-tively

                deg e Razorbacksrsquo matchup with Ole Miss ended with a gut-wrenching last-second goal in double overtime by Ole Miss defender Maddie Friedmann to give the Rebels a 2-1 victory

                deg e Rebels had the NCAA leader in game-winning goals in CeCe Kizer but it was Friedmann who put Ole Miss on top against the Hogs

                deg e other point for Ole Miss came when a Razorback

                player accidentally scored on her own goal in the 55th minute

                In the 64th minute Arkansas junior midyuml elder Rachel Riggs scored her yuml rst goal of the season to tie the game

                Claire Kelley and Reece Christopherson assisted on the goal which was a chip shot for Riggs a er Ole Miss goalkeeper Marnie Merritt fell down Razorback head coach Colby Hale said Riggsrsquo perfor-mance helped the Hogs down the stretch

                ldquoI thought she went in and added good minutes for usrdquo Hale said ldquoHonestly it wasnrsquot just the goal She did a few good things for usrdquo

                deg e Rebels had 16 shots on the night but freshman goalkeeper Jordan Harris ac-counted for eight saves

                deg e 1506 fans who attended the double-overtime thriller

                broke an attendance record at Razorback Field It was the yuml h-highest attendance in Razorback Field history Some of the crowd stayed a er the game to call the Hogs with the team and receive autographs from the players

                deg e team will bounce back from the loss and get better moving forward Hale said a er the game

                In the teamrsquos matchup against the Vanderbilt Com-modores the Razorbacks were unable to yuml nd the net in the 1-0 defeat

                Vanderbilt scored the only goal in the 11th minute when Simone Charley dropped one in from about 5 yards away from the goal However the Razorbacks held the Commo-dores scoreless for the rest of the game

                Arkansas nearly evened the score in the 67th minute

                when junior Alexandra Fischer appeared to score the equalizer but an o side call negated the goal

                deg e game was physical from the beginning and Arkansas racked up yuml ve fouls in the yuml rst half

                In the second half the Com-modores racked up nine fouls but yuml nished the game with a 13-to-8 advantage over the Razorbacks in the foul depart-ment

                Harris followed her perfor-mance against Ole Miss with a save in the yuml rst half against the Commodores Goalkeeper Cameron Carter played the other half against Vandy and she also earned a save

                Central Oklahoma scored three goals with le wing Gavin Hohl forward Sam Rice and center Landon Robin all getting in on the action Hohl and Rice each added an assist

                Tempers rose quickly and players from both teams were separated multiple times throughout the night Each team had at least three di er-ent players spend time in the penalty box

                Arkansas had trouble convert-ing power-play opportunities even when Central Oklahoma was down two players late in the third period During the power play Arkansas pulled Ecklund to add an additional scoring threat but a pass intercepted by Central Oklahoma forward Josh Wyatt led to an easy score on an unprotected goal

                deg e second game was similar to the yuml rst with Ar-kansas striking yuml rst behind a goal from le wing Luc Gradisar It was the yuml rst of Gradisarrsquos two goals on the night deg e other came in the second period

                ldquoWe came out strong in the third period but we didnrsquot capitalize on a couple of power plays that we wanted tordquo defender Chris Green said ldquoWe grinded a lot in our defensive zone but we couldnrsquot get any momentum goingrdquo

                Rice right wing Andrei Novikov center Michael Rivera and forward Donald Danroth all added goals for Central Oklahoma

                Once again both teams had to be separated numer-

                ous times during the game At least six players on both sides served time in the penalty box

                ldquodeg erersquos always a little talk-ing between teams but the refs didnrsquot call as many as they should have and didnrsquot get control of the game earlyrdquo Green said

                With the loss the Hogs have dropped yuml ve of their last seven games and they go into the next series on a yuml ve-game losing streak

                ldquoWersquore going to have a good week of practice then have a long bus ride to Coloradordquo Green said ldquoWersquore going to get a big win that we couldnrsquot get last week when they were hererdquo

                fter a tumultuous off eason for head coach Mike Anderson

                and the Razorback basket-ball team Anderson and his coaching staff are attempting to recruit top players who will put the team back in the national spotlight with marquee talent

                During the off eason Jacorey Williams Anton Beard and Dustin Thomas found themselves in legal trouble after police arrested them for allegedly using counterfeit money Williams was dismissed and Beard and Thomas were suspended from the team Beard and Thomas await trials and could be reinstated

                Arkansas also lost Ted Kapita one of the top recruits from the 2015 class who was ruled academically ineligible by NCAA offi als He will not be on campus for another year Kapita and fellow recruit Jimmy Whitt were the only ranked play-ers Anderson recruited last year With the departure of four of the teamrsquos leading scorers Kapita and Whitt were expected to fill produc-tion holes

                However many top re-cruits are still considering Arkansas

                Malik Monk the only five-star high school recruit in Arkansas has narrowed his list of schools to six The options include Arkansas Kentucky Oregon North Carolina Florida State and Kansas Arkansas and Kentucky are considered the favorites While Kentucky North Carolina and Kansas are perennial powerhouses Florida State has one of the best 2016 recruiting classes

                However Monkrsquos older

                brother Marcus Monk played at Arkansas seven years ago as a receiver on the football team Monk also resides close to Fayetteville in Bentonville

                Monk is ranked fi h in the country and he would be the second five-star recruit in the state to choose the UofA over other options ac-cording to ESPN The other recruit was former Arkansas star Bobby Portis who led the team to its fi st NCAA Tournament bid since 2008

                Besides Monk Anderson has secured a commitment from two of the countryrsquos best junior college prospects in guards Daryl Macon and Jaylen Barford Macon from Holmes Community College in Mississippi averaged 23 points four rebounds and three assists a game

                Barford out of Motlow State Community College in Tennessee put up 20 points and five assists a game while grabbing seven boards Their scoring abilities should benefit the team when they make their way to Fayette-ville

                Arkansas is still awaiting the decision of four-star recruit DersquoRon Davis a 6-foot-8-inch power forward from Aurora Colorado

                For the 2017 recruiting class Arkansas has already received a commitment from in-state four-star power forward Daniel Gafford out of El Dorado The 6-foot-10-inch big man is ranked No 45 in ESPNrsquos ranking of high school juniors

                Jamal Johnson a 6-foot-4-inch shooting guard from the 2017 recruiting class could also play for Arkansas but he has yet to make a decision

                If Anderson and his staff can recruit top players such as Monk Davis and John-son the Razorbacksrsquo future looks bright

                  enior cross country run-ner Dominique Scott has done it all

                  She is a two-time winner of the Southeastern Conference Runner of the Year award and a two-time NCAA All-American She also has seven individual titles

                  But this season Scott is striv-ing toward another goal

                  ldquoMy biggest goal of the year is to be a team leader and to be a role modelrdquo Scott said

                  ldquoWe have a really young group of girls this year I just want to make sure I set a good example for them and give back to the team because when I was younger there were a lot of good leaders on the teamrdquo

                  Coach Lance Harter has nothing but praise for his star runner

                  ldquoShersquos tremendousrdquo Harter said ldquoShe talks to the under-classmen and shersquos a great leaderrdquo

                  Though the team has several

                  freshman Scott said she is looking to capitalize on the teamrsquos fi h-place fin sh at the end of last season

                  ldquoMy goal for the team is to be top 10 this yearrdquo Scott said ldquoIf this young team can go in be confide t take the bull by the horns and embrace the oppor-tunity we can accomplish itrdquo

                  It helps that the team has the No 1 runner in the country who already won her fi st meet of the season Oct 3 at the Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival

                  Scott ranked second coming into the season but after her fi st-place fin sh she moved into the top spot

                  ldquoIrsquom at the level now that I enjoy the pressurerdquo Scott said ldquoPressure either breaks people or it makes them rise to the oc-

                  casion Hopefully I can rise to the occasion but rankings are just numbers on a page People are just guessing on themrdquo

                  Scott said she wasnrsquot totally surprised by the honor She fin shed track season last year by placing second in both the 10K and the 5K

                  ldquoMost people canrsquot do bothrdquo

                  Scott said ldquoItrsquos like a double suicide You get one day of rest in betweenrdquo

                  If success is based on how much an athlete trains then itrsquos no surprise that Scott is a dominant runner

                  On average Scott runs 75 miles a week but she reduces that to 60 miles a week prior racing Those numbers are without running Sundays

                  While running Scott is unfazed by any dist-

                  Razorback Dominique Scott earns top SEC runner of the year again

                  Q Is it time the Ra-zorbacks look else-where at the quar-terback position

                  Alex No matter how bad Brandon Allen may seem in the fourth quarter he still has the most experience under center The next best option is a guy who has only attempted 18 passes in his career BA is still our guy until the end of the season

                  Andrew Allen is the only capable quarterback on the roster right now The fact that hersquos even kept the Razorbacks competitive is crazy consider-ing how many offensive players are injured

                  Austin Whatrsquos the point Even if Allen wasnrsquot the best option which he is benching him would only lead to confli t within the team It would signal the end of the coaching staff rsquos hopes for the season too

                  Chandler Replace him with whom Allen is the best option available so there is no other reason to look elsewhere

                  Leonce Fans have to un-derstand that there isnrsquot anyone on the roster who can do what Allen has been doing this sea-son He is the best option right now If Bret Bielema wanted to lose his job which I know he doesnrsquot he would bench Allen Itrsquos nonsense

                  Pete If the Razorbacks are knocked out of bowl contention they should look elsewhere Ty Storey and Rafe Peavey are playmakers and thatrsquos something Razorback fans havenrsquot seen in a quarter-back since Matt Jones Letrsquos be honest Allen is absolutely replaceable at quarterback

                  Tye No but that changes if the Razorbacks lose enough games to be knocked out of bowl contention If that happens Allen should be benched

                  Traveler Staff Mid-Season Round Table Discussion

                  Q Will the Razor-backs ever make the College Foot-ball Playoff under Bielema

                  Alex Yes they will Arkan-sas has the talent and will have the quarterback play in the future to lead this team to the playoffs u der Bielema

                  Andrew The Razorbacks wonrsquot make the CFP as long as theyrsquore in the Southeastern Conference and canrsquot recruit as well as other teams A team needs more than coaching to win the SEC let alone play in the CFP

                  Austin No one expected coach Bielema to lead Ar-kansas to the CFP in his fi st three years Theyrsquoll make it eventually because the top SEC teams are always likely to have at least a loss or two on their record which could provide the Razorbacks with a window to nab an SEC title

                  Chandler As long as the Razorbacks are in the SEC no Coach Bielema is a fantastic coach but the SEC is on an-other level

                  Leonce I doubt it Arkansas just doesnrsquot possess the appeal of LSU Alabama and Texas AampM in the SEC West Itrsquoll be too tough to recruit top-tier talent to make the playoff I sincerely hope Irsquom wrong but I donrsquot see the Razorbacks winning 11 games and winning the SEC to make the playoff

                  Pete Yes I really like the vision Bielema has for the team With teams lean-ing more and more toward spreading the fi ld Bielema is still determined to build an old-school team that may be tough for opposing defenses It all depends on if he stays long enough to see his vision carried out

                  Tye Simple answer No

                  ldquoPressure either breaks people or it makes them rise to the occasion Hope-fully I can rise to the occasion but rank-

                  Q The Razor-backs are 2-4 Will they become bowl eligible this season

                  Alex Yes they will Winning at home will make the Razorbacks eligible for a bowl game Who knows Maybe theyrsquoll play Texas again and wersquoll have a repeat of last season

                  AndrewThe Razor-backs will miss a bowl game because of their early season blunders Therersquos always next year

                  Austin The Hogs should just squeak into bowl eligibility to give the seniors and fans one last look at the team

                  Chandler Yes Wins over Auburn UT-Martin Mississippi State and Missouri will get the Razorbacks to a bowl

                  Leonce Yes but barely The Hogs will break even and sneak into the postseason They need to make sure they donrsquot slip up at home for the rest of the season because a road win will be tough

                  Pete If the defense continues to play as well as it did against Alabama then the Hogs might be able to save the season from being a total disaster and make a bowl game

                  Tye Yes The defen-sive players will come alive just as they did late last year The surge in the defense will pro-pel the Razorbacks to a second-consecutive bowl under Bielema

                  Q What will Arkan-sas record be at the end of the season Who will they lose to Who will they beat

                  Alex Arkansas will go 6-6 and lose to Louisiana State University and Ole Miss Auburn and Mississippi State will be close games but the Razorbacks will fi d a way to win

                  Andrew The Hogs will fin sh 5-7 Wins over Tennes-see Auburn and Missouri will be the highlights of Arkansasrsquo season

                  Austin The Razorbacks will fin sh with a 5-7 record and fin sh the year with a win over Missouri after Thanks-giving Auburn is looking vulnerable and the Razor-backs should be able to strike after coming off a ye week The University of Tennessee-Martin will be a much-needed cupcake on homecoming and provide the Hogs with a win

                  Chandler Outside of LSU and Ole Miss the Razorbacks will be at home the rest of the season Mississippi State will be challenging but I expect the Razorbacks to win all of their home games and go 6-6

                  Leonce I believe the team will go 6-6 with road losses against LSU and Ole Miss I also have faith that the Hogs will improve defensively and possibly pull an upset on the road against one of the two teams

                  Pete The defense will have to carry the struggling offense if the Razorbacks are going to fin sh the season 6-6 Ole Miss and LSU are too tough especially on the road

                  Tye Arkansas will fin sh 6-6 The Hogs will have wins over Auburn UT-Martin Mississippi State and Mis-souri

                  ormer Razorback pitcher Dallas Keuchel

                  pitched his way to a vic-tory Sunday in the Houston Astrosrsquo third game against the Kansas City Royals in the American League Division Series

                  In a 4-2 victory over Kansas City Keuchel pitched seven innings and gave up yuml ve hits He gave up a home run to centeryuml elder Lorenzo Cain in the fourth inning but it was the only run scored on Keuchel during the game

                  deg e pitcher threw 124 pitches and struck out seven batters before being relieved by Tony Sipp

                  Prior to that performance Keuchel helped the Astros punch a ticket to the series a er an impressive perfor-mance on the mound in the teamrsquos wild-card matchup against the New York Yan-kees

                  Keuchelrsquos dominating play against the Yankees in the Astrosrsquo 3-0 victory was not the pitcherrsquos yuml rst great show-ing this season deg e pitcher had a mind-blowing 15-0 record in Houston during the regular season and he yuml n-ished the regular season with a 20-8 record as he willed his team into the postseason

                  Going into the wild-card game the Astros and the Yankees were the two teams in the MLB that were most dependent on home runs deg e teams scored nearly half their runs because of the long ball

                  Going up against veteran sluggers Alex Rodriguez and Carlos Beltran on the road was no small task for Keuchel who was playing in his yuml rst postseason environ-ment deg e Astros had not played in the postseason since 2005 when the organi-zation was crowned National League champion

                  Andrew EppersonStaff Reporter

                  Keuchel anchors AstrosInstead of crumbling

                  under the pressure at Yankee Stadium against arguably the most successful team in MLB history Keuchel pitched a performance for the ages and turned the sports world upside down

                  In six innings Keuchel gave up only three hits and a walk deg e ace did not commit a single error and 54 of his 87 pitches were strikes Keuchel struck out seven batters be-fore he was relieved by Sipp

                  Keuchel faced the Yankees twice during the regular sea-son and won both times In June the pitcher struck out 12 batters in the Astrosrsquo shutout victory over the Yankees In August Keuchel pitched for seven scoreless innings and struck out nine Yankee batters

                  A er his impressive regular season most experts believe the American League Cy Young race is between Keuchel and Toronto Blue Jays pitcher David Price deg e Cy Young Award is given to the best pitcher in each league

                  Keuchelrsquos breakout season was somewhat unexpected because the pitcher earned a 12-9 record as a starting pitcher last season While many experts predicted he would have a solid year almost no one expected Keuchel to rise to the top of the American League

                  When the le y won his 14th consecutive home start he set the franchise record for most consecutive home victories deg e record was previously set by Danny Darwin in 1990

                  Before being dra ed by the Astros in the seventh round of the 2009 dra Keuchel played at Arkansas for three seasons He ended his college career with a 19-9 record for the Hogs and he started 17 games his senior season Keuchelrsquos 2009 Razorback team made a run in the Col-lege World Series before even-tually losing to the Louisiana State University Tigers

                  rkansas running back Alex Collins should be considered one of

                  the best players in the South-eastern Conference

                  Collins has produced more than 650 rushing yards while gaining more than 5 yards on every carry Hersquos on pace to rush for more than 1300 yards which would mark his third consecutive season to rush for more than 1000 yards

                  COMMENTARY

                  Austin AraujoStaff Reporter

                  He yuml nished last season as the No 14 all-time leading rusher in school history If he continues his pace Collins will reach the third spot on that list

                  Itrsquos a travesty that Collins isnrsquot consistently mentioned as one of the best runners in the SEC

                  One of Collinsrsquo biggest rivals is Louisiana State Uni-versityrsquos Leonard Fournette Fournette started o slow against the University of South Carolina Gamecocks He yuml nished the yuml rst half with only 59 yards but he started the third quarter with a

                  bang Fournette took a hand-o from the shotgun and zoomed his way to the end zone untouched He needed only one upyuml eld cut to score an 87-yard touchdown

                  His touchdown was the type of statement the sopho-more running back who leads the NCAA in rushing yards needed to silence those who claim Fournettersquos early season success was because of his teamrsquos weak schedule

                  It was a statement similar to the one Collins made last year against Texas Tech when he pulled o an 84-

                  yard scamper to the end zone However Collins did that against a Red Raider defense that was not highly esteemed

                  Fournettersquos 158 yards against South Carolina pushed his rushing total to more than 1000 yards in just yuml ve games this season He became the 10th player in Football Bowl Subdivision history to reach that total in yuml ve games ac-cording to ESPN

                  Itrsquos easy to overlook Collinsrsquo superb play this season when a running back from a rival team is putting up historic numbers However that would be short cutting the perfor-

                  mance of a player who has taken over the duties as the main running back for the yuml rst time in his career

                  Collins has become the focus of a Razorback of-fense that is confused about its identity In 2014 the Hogs thrived on pound-ing their opponents with a ground game that punished and wore down defenses deg at rushing attack was built on the combination of Collins and Jonathan Wil-liams who rushed for more than 1100 yards last year deg is season Collins has been pushed into the solo

                  A

                  Alex Collins runs over the competition this seasonrole save for a few touches that have gone to freshman Rawleigh Williams

                  Without the ability to rely on two talented running backs the Razorbacks are turning to an increasingly e ective passing attack Yet Collins is still on pace to obliterate his totals from last year

                  Fans need to appreciate what theyrsquore seeing from Collins before he bolts for the NFL or count their lucky stars if he chooses to give it one more go in an Arkansas uniform

                  ference play and 5-8-1 overall a er su ering close defeats to Ole Miss and Vanderbilt on Friday and Sunday respec-tively

                  deg e Razorbacksrsquo matchup with Ole Miss ended with a gut-wrenching last-second goal in double overtime by Ole Miss defender Maddie Friedmann to give the Rebels a 2-1 victory

                  deg e Rebels had the NCAA leader in game-winning goals in CeCe Kizer but it was Friedmann who put Ole Miss on top against the Hogs

                  deg e other point for Ole Miss came when a Razorback

                  player accidentally scored on her own goal in the 55th minute

                  In the 64th minute Arkansas junior midyuml elder Rachel Riggs scored her yuml rst goal of the season to tie the game

                  Claire Kelley and Reece Christopherson assisted on the goal which was a chip shot for Riggs a er Ole Miss goalkeeper Marnie Merritt fell down Razorback head coach Colby Hale said Riggsrsquo perfor-mance helped the Hogs down the stretch

                  ldquoI thought she went in and added good minutes for usrdquo Hale said ldquoHonestly it wasnrsquot just the goal She did a few good things for usrdquo

                  deg e Rebels had 16 shots on the night but freshman goalkeeper Jordan Harris ac-counted for eight saves

                  deg e 1506 fans who attended the double-overtime thriller

                  broke an attendance record at Razorback Field It was the yuml h-highest attendance in Razorback Field history Some of the crowd stayed a er the game to call the Hogs with the team and receive autographs from the players

                  deg e team will bounce back from the loss and get better moving forward Hale said a er the game

                  In the teamrsquos matchup against the Vanderbilt Com-modores the Razorbacks were unable to yuml nd the net in the 1-0 defeat

                  Vanderbilt scored the only goal in the 11th minute when Simone Charley dropped one in from about 5 yards away from the goal However the Razorbacks held the Commo-dores scoreless for the rest of the game

                  Arkansas nearly evened the score in the 67th minute

                  when junior Alexandra Fischer appeared to score the equalizer but an o side call negated the goal

                  deg e game was physical from the beginning and Arkansas racked up yuml ve fouls in the yuml rst half

                  In the second half the Com-modores racked up nine fouls but yuml nished the game with a 13-to-8 advantage over the Razorbacks in the foul depart-ment

                  Harris followed her perfor-mance against Ole Miss with a save in the yuml rst half against the Commodores Goalkeeper Cameron Carter played the other half against Vandy and she also earned a save

                  Central Oklahoma scored three goals with le wing Gavin Hohl forward Sam Rice and center Landon Robin all getting in on the action Hohl and Rice each added an assist

                  Tempers rose quickly and players from both teams were separated multiple times throughout the night Each team had at least three di er-ent players spend time in the penalty box

                  Arkansas had trouble convert-ing power-play opportunities even when Central Oklahoma was down two players late in the third period During the power play Arkansas pulled Ecklund to add an additional scoring threat but a pass intercepted by Central Oklahoma forward Josh Wyatt led to an easy score on an unprotected goal

                  deg e second game was similar to the yuml rst with Ar-kansas striking yuml rst behind a goal from le wing Luc Gradisar It was the yuml rst of Gradisarrsquos two goals on the night deg e other came in the second period

                  ldquoWe came out strong in the third period but we didnrsquot capitalize on a couple of power plays that we wanted tordquo defender Chris Green said ldquoWe grinded a lot in our defensive zone but we couldnrsquot get any momentum goingrdquo

                  Rice right wing Andrei Novikov center Michael Rivera and forward Donald Danroth all added goals for Central Oklahoma

                  Once again both teams had to be separated numer-

                  and the Razorback basket-ball team Anderson and his coaching staff are attempting to recruit top players who will put the team back in the national spotlight with marquee talent

                  During the off eason Jacorey Williams Anton Beard and Dustin Thomas found themselves in legal trouble after police arrested them for allegedly using counterfeit money Williams was dismissed and Beard and Thomas were suspended from the team Beard and Thomas await trials and could be reinstated

                  Arkansas also lost Ted Kapita one of the top recruits from the 2015 class who was ruled academically ineligible by NCAA offi als He will not be on campus for another year Kapita and fellow recruit Jimmy Whitt were the only ranked play-ers Anderson recruited last year With the departure of four of the teamrsquos leading scorers Kapita and Whitt were expected to fill produc-tion holes

                  However many top re-cruits are still considering Arkansas

                  Malik Monk the only five-star high school recruit in Arkansas has narrowed his list of schools to six The options include Arkansas Kentucky Oregon North Carolina Florida State and Kansas Arkansas and Kentucky are considered the favorites While Kentucky North Carolina and Kansas are perennial powerhouses Florida State has one of the best 2016 recruiting classes

                  Monk is ranked fi h in the country and he would be the second five-star recruit in the state to choose the UofA over other options ac-cording to ESPN The other recruit was former Arkansas star Bobby Portis who led the team to its fi st NCAA Tournament bid since 2008

                  Besides Monk Anderson has secured a commitment from two of the countryrsquos best junior college prospects in guards Daryl Macon and Jaylen Barford Macon from Holmes Community College in Mississippi averaged 23 points four rebounds and three assists a game

                  Barford out of Motlow State Community College in Tennessee put up 20 points and five assists a game while grabbing seven boards Their scoring abilities should benefit the team when they make their way to Fayette-ville

                  Arkansas is still awaiting the decision of four-star recruit DersquoRon Davis a 6-foot-8-inch power forward from Aurora Colorado

                  For the 2017 recruiting class Arkansas has already received a commitment from in-state four-star power forward Daniel Gafford out of El Dorado The 6-foot-10-inch big man is ranked No 45 in ESPNrsquos ranking of high school juniors

                  Jamal Johnson a 6-foot-4-inch shooting guard from the 2017 recruiting class could also play for Arkansas but he has yet to make a decision

                    ormer Razorback pitcher Dallas Keuchel

                    pitched his way to a vic-tory Sunday in the Houston Astrosrsquo third game against the Kansas City Royals in the American League Division Series

                    In a 4-2 victory over Kansas City Keuchel pitched seven innings and gave up yuml ve hits He gave up a home run to centeryuml elder Lorenzo Cain in the fourth inning but it was the only run scored on Keuchel during the game

                    deg e pitcher threw 124 pitches and struck out seven batters before being relieved by Tony Sipp

                    Prior to that performance Keuchel helped the Astros punch a ticket to the series a er an impressive perfor-mance on the mound in the teamrsquos wild-card matchup against the New York Yan-kees

                    Keuchelrsquos dominating play against the Yankees in the Astrosrsquo 3-0 victory was not the pitcherrsquos yuml rst great show-ing this season deg e pitcher had a mind-blowing 15-0 record in Houston during the regular season and he yuml n-ished the regular season with a 20-8 record as he willed his team into the postseason

                    Going into the wild-card game the Astros and the Yankees were the two teams in the MLB that were most dependent on home runs deg e teams scored nearly half their runs because of the long ball

                    Going up against veteran sluggers Alex Rodriguez and Carlos Beltran on the road was no small task for Keuchel who was playing in his yuml rst postseason environ-ment deg e Astros had not played in the postseason since 2005 when the organi-zation was crowned National League champion

                    Andrew EppersonStaff Reporter

                    Keuchel anchors AstrosInstead of crumbling

                    under the pressure at Yankee Stadium against arguably the most successful team in MLB history Keuchel pitched a performance for the ages and turned the sports world upside down

                    In six innings Keuchel gave up only three hits and a walk deg e ace did not commit a single error and 54 of his 87 pitches were strikes Keuchel struck out seven batters be-fore he was relieved by Sipp

                    Keuchel faced the Yankees twice during the regular sea-son and won both times In June the pitcher struck out 12 batters in the Astrosrsquo shutout victory over the Yankees In August Keuchel pitched for seven scoreless innings and struck out nine Yankee batters

                    A er his impressive regular season most experts believe the American League Cy Young race is between Keuchel and Toronto Blue Jays pitcher David Price deg e Cy Young Award is given to the best pitcher in each league

                    Keuchelrsquos breakout season was somewhat unexpected because the pitcher earned a 12-9 record as a starting pitcher last season While many experts predicted he would have a solid year almost no one expected Keuchel to rise to the top of the American League

                    When the le y won his 14th consecutive home start he set the franchise record for most consecutive home victories deg e record was previously set by Danny Darwin in 1990

                    Before being dra ed by the Astros in the seventh round of the 2009 dra Keuchel played at Arkansas for three seasons He ended his college career with a 19-9 record for the Hogs and he started 17 games his senior season Keuchelrsquos 2009 Razorback team made a run in the Col-lege World Series before even-tually losing to the Louisiana State University Tigers

                    rkansas running back Alex Collins should be considered one of

                    the best players in the South-eastern Conference

                    Collins has produced more than 650 rushing yards while gaining more than 5 yards on every carry Hersquos on pace to rush for more than 1300 yards which would mark his third consecutive season to rush for more than 1000 yards

                    COMMENTARY

                    Austin AraujoStaff Reporter

                    He yuml nished last season as the No 14 all-time leading rusher in school history If he continues his pace Collins will reach the third spot on that list

                    Itrsquos a travesty that Collins isnrsquot consistently mentioned as one of the best runners in the SEC

                    One of Collinsrsquo biggest rivals is Louisiana State Uni-versityrsquos Leonard Fournette Fournette started o slow against the University of South Carolina Gamecocks He yuml nished the yuml rst half with only 59 yards but he started the third quarter with a

                    bang Fournette took a hand-o from the shotgun and zoomed his way to the end zone untouched He needed only one upyuml eld cut to score an 87-yard touchdown

                    His touchdown was the type of statement the sopho-more running back who leads the NCAA in rushing yards needed to silence those who claim Fournettersquos early season success was because of his teamrsquos weak schedule

                    It was a statement similar to the one Collins made last year against Texas Tech when he pulled o an 84-

                    yard scamper to the end zone However Collins did that against a Red Raider defense that was not highly esteemed

                    Fournettersquos 158 yards against South Carolina pushed his rushing total to more than 1000 yards in just yuml ve games this season He became the 10th player in Football Bowl Subdivision history to reach that total in yuml ve games ac-cording to ESPN

                    Itrsquos easy to overlook Collinsrsquo superb play this season when a running back from a rival team is putting up historic numbers However that would be short cutting the perfor-

                    mance of a player who has taken over the duties as the main running back for the yuml rst time in his career

                    Collins has become the focus of a Razorback of-fense that is confused about its identity In 2014 the Hogs thrived on pound-ing their opponents with a ground game that punished and wore down defenses deg at rushing attack was built on the combination of Collins and Jonathan Wil-liams who rushed for more than 1100 yards last year deg is season Collins has been pushed into the solo

                    A

                    Alex Collins runs over the competition this seasonrole save for a few touches that have gone to freshman Rawleigh Williams

                    Without the ability to rely on two talented running backs the Razorbacks are turning to an increasingly e ective passing attack Yet Collins is still on pace to obliterate his totals from last year

                    Fans need to appreciate what theyrsquore seeing from Collins before he bolts for the NFL or count their lucky stars if he chooses to give it one more go in an Arkansas uniform

                    deg e Razorbacksrsquo matchup with Ole Miss ended with a gut-wrenching last-second goal in double overtime by Ole Miss defender Maddie Friedmann to give the Rebels a 2-1 victory

                    deg e Rebels had the NCAA leader in game-winning goals in CeCe Kizer but it was Friedmann who put Ole Miss on top against the Hogs

                    deg e other point for Ole Miss came when a Razorback

                    player accidentally scored on her own goal in the 55th minute

                    In the 64th minute Arkansas junior midyuml elder Rachel Riggs scored her yuml rst goal of the season to tie the game

                    Claire Kelley and Reece Christopherson assisted on the goal which was a chip shot for Riggs a er Ole Miss goalkeeper Marnie Merritt fell down Razorback head coach Colby Hale said Riggsrsquo perfor-mance helped the Hogs down the stretch

                    ldquoI thought she went in and added good minutes for usrdquo Hale said ldquoHonestly it wasnrsquot just the goal She did a few good things for usrdquo

                    deg e Rebels had 16 shots on the night but freshman goalkeeper Jordan Harris ac-counted for eight saves

                    deg e 1506 fans who attended the double-overtime thriller

                    broke an attendance record at Razorback Field It was the yuml h-highest attendance in Razorback Field history Some of the crowd stayed a er the game to call the Hogs with the team and receive autographs from the players

                    In the teamrsquos matchup against the Vanderbilt Com-modores the Razorbacks were unable to yuml nd the net in the 1-0 defeat

                    Vanderbilt scored the only goal in the 11th minute when Simone Charley dropped one in from about 5 yards away from the goal However the Razorbacks held the Commo-dores scoreless for the rest of the game

                    Arkansas nearly evened the score in the 67th minute

                    when junior Alexandra Fischer appeared to score the equalizer but an o side call negated the goal

                    deg e game was physical from the beginning and Arkansas racked up yuml ve fouls in the yuml rst half

                    In the second half the Com-modores racked up nine fouls but yuml nished the game with a 13-to-8 advantage over the Razorbacks in the foul depart-ment

                    Harris followed her perfor-mance against Ole Miss with a save in the yuml rst half against the Commodores Goalkeeper Cameron Carter played the other half against Vandy and she also earned a save

                    Central Oklahoma scored three goals with le wing Gavin Hohl forward Sam Rice and center Landon Robin all getting in on the action Hohl and Rice each added an assist

                    Tempers rose quickly and players from both teams were separated multiple times throughout the night Each team had at least three di er-ent players spend time in the penalty box

                    Arkansas had trouble convert-ing power-play opportunities even when Central Oklahoma was down two players late in the third period During the power play Arkansas pulled Ecklund to add an additional scoring threat but a pass intercepted by Central Oklahoma forward Josh Wyatt led to an easy score on an unprotected goal

                    deg e second game was similar to the yuml rst with Ar-kansas striking yuml rst behind a goal from le wing Luc Gradisar It was the yuml rst of Gradisarrsquos two goals on the night deg e other came in the second period

                    ldquoWe came out strong in the third period but we didnrsquot capitalize on a couple of power plays that we wanted tordquo defender Chris Green said ldquoWe grinded a lot in our defensive zone but we couldnrsquot get any momentum goingrdquo

                    Rice right wing Andrei Novikov center Michael Rivera and forward Donald Danroth all added goals for Central Oklahoma

                    Once again both teams had to be separated numer-

                    ous times during the game At least six players on both sides served time in the penalty box

                    ldquodeg erersquos always a little talk-ing between teams but the refs didnrsquot call as many as they should have and didnrsquot get control of the game earlyrdquo Green said

                    With the loss the Hogs have dropped yuml ve of their last seven games and they go into the next series on a yuml ve-game losing streak

                    ldquoWersquore going to have a good week of practice then have a long bus ride to Coloradordquo Green said ldquoWersquore going to get a big win that we couldnrsquot get last week when they were hererdquo

                    Monk is ranked fi h in the country and he would be the second five-star recruit in the state to choose the UofA over other options ac-cording to ESPN The other recruit was former Arkansas star Bobby Portis who led the team to its fi st NCAA Tournament bid since 2008

                    Besides Monk Anderson has secured a commitment from two of the countryrsquos best junior college prospects in guards Daryl Macon and Jaylen Barford Macon from Holmes Community College in Mississippi averaged 23 points four rebounds and three assists a game

                    Barford out of Motlow State Community College in Tennessee put up 20 points and five assists a game while grabbing seven boards Their scoring abilities should benefit the team when they make their way to Fayette-ville

                    Arkansas is still awaiting the decision of four-star recruit DersquoRon Davis a 6-foot-8-inch power forward from Aurora Colorado

                    For the 2017 recruiting class Arkansas has already received a commitment from in-state four-star power forward Daniel Gafford out of El Dorado The 6-foot-10-inch big man is ranked No 45 in ESPNrsquos ranking of high school juniors

                    Jamal Johnson a 6-foot-4-inch shooting guard from the 2017 recruiting class could also play for Arkansas but he has yet to make a decision

                      Barford out of Motlow State Community College in Tennessee put up 20 points and five assists a game while grabbing seven boards Their scoring abilities should benefit the team when they make their way to Fayette-ville

                      Arkansas is still awaiting the decision of four-star recruit DersquoRon Davis a 6-foot-8-inch power forward from Aurora Colorado
