A UA mathematics pro-fessor helped design the “Shapes of Space” exhibit for the nation’s only museum dedicated entirely to math-ematics in New York.

Professor Chaim Good-man-Strauss, chair of the department of mathemati-cal sciences, spent six weeks helping a colleague design an interactive math exhibit based on the principle of curvature of surfaces.

To explain the principle, Goodman-Strauss used a piece of paper. One thing a piece of paper can’t do is conform to a sphere, he said. !e paper crunches, and there are too many overlap-ping folds, so the sphere is said to have positive curva-ture. !ere are also surfaces

that have negative curvature, which means a surface has more space than a piece of paper can cover without be-ing ripped or torn.

!e exhibit displays sur-faces that demonstrate either positive or negative curva-ture. !ere are also "at, rub-bery tiles that conform to

the surfaces. Although the surfaces may look di#erent, the curvature is constant, and the idea is to move the tiles around to see what hap-pens, he said.

“One of the things why I’m so pleased to be involved with the museum is because

I’ve been involved in sharing mathematics for really my whole career,” he said. “It’s meant for people to get ex-cited about mathematics.”

Curvature of surfaces is a fundamental property that a#ects everyday activities like how clothes are manu-factured, Goodman-Strauss

said. Curvature of surfaces also poses a cosmological question when pertaining to the shape of the universe. No one knows if the universe is "at or positively or negative-ly curved, he said.

Goodman-Strauss was asked to take over the proj-

ect by a friend who worked at the National Museum of Mathematics and could no longer continue on the proj-ect. He designed the surfaces as well as the tiles.

!e museum opened in December, and Goodman-Strauss was able to attend the opening gala.

“You don’t see 300 math-ematicians in tuxedos very o$en,” he said. “It was pretty neat. We were all rushing in a$er dinner like kids going to the candy store.”

Other exhibits in the mu-seum include a tricycle with square wheels that moves along a rounded surface of cylinders, adjustable tracks that allow visitors to see which shapes and slopes get a toy car to the bottom the fastest, and other interactive games and puzzles.

People in the northwest Arkansas area can expect to see more colorful storm drains soon. UpStream Art is search-ing for local artists to paint the next round of storm drains in the area.

UpStream Art is a project started in hopes of bringing awareness to storm drains and to educate people on where storm drain water actually goes.

Many people have a mis-conception that northwest Arkansas’ storm drains are connected to the city’s sanitary sewer, said Jane Maginot, pro-gram assistant for the UA Di-vision of Agriculture. All water that passes through them actu-ally goes to creeks and streams. !is water goes through un-treated, carrying with it any road debris or pollutants picked up along the way.

“!e water that goes through these drains picks up anything on the road and carries it into our creeks and streams, causing harmful pol-lution,” Maginot said. “Many people use these drains to dump trash and anything else into them because they are unaware of where the water is actually going.”

!e project was started last year with eight storm drains, including three in Fayetteville, two in Springdale, two in Rog-ers and one in Bentonville. !ere are 14 planned for this year, with &ve already com-pleted.

UpStream is searching for artists to complete the rest of the drains. Applications will go through a selection process by a committee of artists, art representatives and city rep-resentatives, according to the project website. Each piece selected will then go to the

correct mayor for approval. All designs should include the words “Drains to Creek” somewhere in the art.

Anyone wishing to submit an application with sample art can contact Jane Magi-not at 479-444-1755 or check out the project’s website, nwaupstreamart.wetpaint.com. !e deadline to apply is March 19.

!ere will be an artist re-ception March 2 from 4-6 p.m. at Ozark Natural Foods. All artists who participated in the project last year will be present and will provide information about the project to applying artists and anyone interested.

NWA Group Plans to Add Extra Touch to Storm Drains

Courtesy PhotoUpStream Art is a project started in hopes of bringing awareness to storm drains and to educate people on where storm drain water actually goes.

On Monday, Feb. 7, the UA’s very own food pantry, Full Circle, celebrated its two-year anniversary. Servic-ing over 200 individuals per week in northwest Arkansas with a dedicated team of 20 regular volunteers and a slew of so-called “extra hands,” the pantry has been able to grow almost exponentially since its inception in 2011.

To put the pantry’s growth in perspective, from Feb. 7, 2011, to Feb. 7, 2012, they re-ceived 12,304 pounds of do-nated food. In the same span of time, from Feb. 7, 2012, to Feb. 7, 2013, the pantry took in 48,044 pounds of food — a fourfold increase.

One dollar can mean as much as 10 pounds of food, indicating thousands of dollars in donations in a very short period of time, according to Feed-ing America, the coun-try’s biggest network of food banks, .

When asked what the future of the Full Circle looked like, Rachel Pel-legrino, the organization’s chair, said she hoped to cre-ate a nation-wide network of universities contributing to their own commu-nities in a similar fashion.

Drawing a plethora of do-nations from individual do-nors, registered student orga-nizations like ENACTUS and events such as ASG’s Home-coming, Pellegrino said she only hopes to spread more mindfulness about the needy, rather than seeking an in-crease in size or change in ven-ue for the immediate future. Pellegrino said the current fo-cus of Full Circle would be on “looking more at expanding awareness and sustainability.”

Full Circle has been called a “trend in campus activism,” Pellegrino said, a fact that she

seemed v e r y proud to r e p o r t due to the im-pact of the or-ganiza-

tion’s positive in"uence. With a steady, growing supply of in-ventory, Full Circle is inspiring more campuses across the U.S. to join their cause.

!e UA and the Univer-sity of Missouri will soon compete in a “Food Fight,” a competition between schools to see who can raise the larg-est amount of donations to help the most people, taking place Feb. 25-26. Fi$y other universities have taken to Full Circle’s heels in implementing campus food pantries as well.

When asked about what the most rewarding aspect of run-ning the pantry was, Pellegrino said it wasn’t just feeding those who were hungry, but watch-ing those who volunteered by her side. She said “seeing how many people would come and help” motivated her to keep breaking new ground with the organization.

Winning accolades from such programs as President Obama’s Campus Champi-ons of Change Challenge among 1400 other applicants, and receiving so many dona-tions that they have trouble stocking inventory, the future of Full Circle Pantry seems bright. Last fall, the pantry

served 3,477 individu-als, a number that is likely to grow.

!e Full Circle Pan-try operates Mondays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and !ursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For

more information on how to get involved, visit service.uark.edu or volun-teer.uark.edu.

UA Food Pantry Comes ‘Full Circle’ after 2 Years

In an e#ort to increase pedestrian safety on cam-pus, university o%cials have closed a section of West Dickson Street to unauthor-ized vehicles for the spring semester.

City o%cials granted a permit allowing the UA to limit tra%c on West Dickson Street from Harmon Avenue to Garland Avenue. Tra%c will be blocked from 7 a.m.

to 6 p.m. on Monday through Friday, said Mike Johnson, associate vice chancellor for facilities management.

During the &rst few weeks of the closure, UAPD o%cers issued warnings to motorists who did not comply. Now, ci-tations could be issued by the UAPD to motorists who vio-late this rule, said Lt. Gary Crain, UAPD spokesman.

!e UA’s facilities man-agement and transit and parking department will evaluate any parking issues that the closure might create, Johnson said.

“At some point in the fu-ture, as the new classroom and lab building is built on West Dickson Street, we will have to consider limiting au-thorized tra%c west of Dun-can Avenue as well,” Johnson said. “For now, though, it’s the end of the street west of Harmon Avenue that needs our attention for pedestrian and vehicular safety pur-poses.”

According to the original proposal, University o%cials requested posting a gate and guard post to prevent tra%c from that area. However, the

city found that this would vi-olate legal statutes. !e &nal decision was to post tempo-rary signs that would inform drivers of when they are al-lowed access to the campus and where they will need to turn, according to the Fay-etteville Flyer.

“We are mostly con-cerned with pedestrian safe-ty at the intersection of Mc-Ilroy Avenue and Dickson Street,” Johnson said. “!ere is always a massive amount of students crossing that area throughout the week-days. !at intersection has

always been very congested, but the recent growth in the UA’s student population, combined with the construc-tion of Founders Hall, has certainly made the situation worse. It’s almost impossible for cars to get through at cer-tain times.”

Some students were pleased to see the street closed.

“I think it was a good idea for the university to close that section of Dick-son Street,” said Jake Evans, senior hotel and restaurant management major. “!ere have been times where I tried to drive up that hill during school days and liter-ally was stuck for close to 10 minutes.”

According to the per-mit issued by the city, only emergency vehicles, Razor-back transit buses, approved delivery vehicles, university service vehicles and driv-ers with university parking permits for adjacent lots will be allowed access to the area during the restricted period. Bicycles will be allowed, but scooters and motorcycles are prohibited, Johnson said.

sential part of many of the ex-hibits. In one display, a series of moveable cameras proj-ects twisting, fractal images, or constantly turning spirals, onto a screen. Another exhibit uses cameras to copy parts of people and display it on a screen. For example, visitors can wave their arms in front of a camera, and the camera will produce copies of the arm so that it looks like branches on a tree.

“!ere is a community of us who really want to share this beauty,” Goodman-Strauss said, “and this is so di#erent than what you’d get in a college algebra class. To be involved in something like this is really, re-ally fantastic.”

Goodman-Strauss said he plans to stay involved with the museum. He has already been back once to help write inter-pretive materials that explain the mathematics behind the exhibit.

ing customers a heads up about the voluntary trial.

“We’re not taking sides in a smoking vs. non-smoking debate,” they posted. “It’s just a tight room with limited ventila-tion options. We hope not to alienate anyone.”

!e test began Feb. 4. Whether the policy is made permanent will depend on how well it is received, said Wade Ogle, owner.

UA students expressed mixed feelings about the possibility having an ad-ditional nonsmoking bar in Fayetteville.

Some students said they thought a nonsmok-ing policy was a good idea but that enforcing that type of policy at a club would cause the Light-bulb Club to lose a lot of patrons.

“I think people are go-ing to smoke regardless,” said Maree Morse, junior communications major. Designating a section of the club as nonsmoking, rather than banning it from the whole club, is a more plausible solution, Morse said.

Many students agreed that a nonsmoking policy would create a preferable environment, but also ex-pressed doubts about the club’s ability to get every-one onboard.

“I would say from a business standpoint, it is probably not a good idea,” said Mike Smith, sopho-more social work major. “!e population of people who want to smoke at a bar is going to outweigh the population of those who don’t.”

On the other hand, Smith also said he could see the people of Fayette-ville supporting a policy like this due to its health and environmental ben-e&ts.

“It might be a large enough environmentally friendly population in Fayetteville that the club can sustain itself,” Smith said.

Other UA students are excited about the policy and the potential to have another nonsmoking club in downtown Fayetteville.

“Smoke makes the whole room smell bad, and you can’t get rid of it,” said Blakeley Hudson, freshman interior design major.

A small sitting area in front of the bar is also available, and most cus-tomers don’t mind step-ping outside if they want to smoke, Ogle said. Over-all, there has been a posi-tive response to the policy, Ogle said.

Traveler Quote of the DayMany people use these drains to dump trash and anything else into them because they are unaware of where the water is actually going.Jane Maginot, US Division of Agriculture“NWA Group to Add Extra Touch to Storm Drains” Page 2

College Students are Media Anti-Consumers

Reality shows are one of the most popular genres of tele-vision. Everyone talks about them. But why do we feel so drawn to them, knowing they are typically not very realistic at all?

!e most popular shows include “America’s Next Top Model,” “Duck Dynasty,” “!e Bachelor,” “!e Real House-wives of Beverly Hills,” “Buck-wild” and “Jersey Shore,” all in the top 10 of reality shows, ac-cording to IMDb. “!e Biggest Loser” is ranked 15, and “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” is at 17, according to IMDb.

!e recurring theme in most of these shows is drama. Whether it is girls "ghting over a photoshoot or hookups gone

wrong, there is always someone yelling and tears spilling. !is is something we, as college stu-dents, can easily relate to. We are at a point in our lives where there is no one to stop us from doing what we want, and that can o#en get us into trouble.

!ere are various reasons why people watch reality tele-vision, according to Psychol-ogy Today. Everyone wants to be part of the “in crowd,” and watching these shows help make us feel like we "t in with everyone else watching them. Also, these shows allow us to “fantasize about gaining status through automatic fame,” ac-cording to Psychology Today.

I can easily agree with the "rst reason, as I never watched “!e Bachelor” until this year. I only started watching because practically everyone I knew talked and tweeted about it, so I "gured I should see what all the hype was about. Now, I have a watch party with my friends every Monday because we are desperate to see who Sean Lowe picks to be his wife.

People “"nd a certain fasci-nation” in comparing what they would do in the situation the contestants are in, according to CBS News. !is is something I

agree with as well. My friends and I always talk about what we would have done di$er-ently than certain girls on “!e Bachelor” while we watch it.

However, this goes for every reality show. It is an adrena-line rush when we watch con-testants mess up and think, “I would have done that di$er-ently, so I probably could win this whole show if I were on it!”

We like to fantasize about gaining automatic fame. As col-lege students on a large campus, it is easy to go unnoticed or to feel like we are always missing out. !ese reality shows allow us to daydream: “What if I won ‘American Idol’ and became as famous as Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood? People tell me I’m a good singer …” !ese daydreams give us little ego boosts and make us think someday people around the world could know our name.

Each reality show gives us a di$erent reason to watch. I agree with all the above rea-sons, but there are some I want to add speci"cally targeted to our generation.

Everyone loved to watch, or loved to hate, “Jersey Shore,” and the show was a common topic of conversation while it

was on. I believe this particu-lar show gave us reasons to feel better about the mistakes we have made. A#er all, we may have been way too drunk on Dickson or lost a phone at a fra-ternity house, but at least we do not look like an absolute mess on national television.

For shows like “!e Voice” and “American Idol,” it goes back to the idea we could all be famous, but also, I o#en see Facebook posts and tweets urging people to vote for a con-testant someone knows from home.

Even if it is cheering for a friend of a friend of a friend, it is still someone we feel con-nected with, and we rally be-hind the potential celebrity. It also helps that these particular shows come on a#er our foot-ball season has ended.

In general, college can be a stressful time full of mistakes, and reality television can be a way to escape and to realize our lives are not so bad. A#er all, at least we have not made our-selves look like a fool in front of millions of people.

Reality Shows Draw College Students

Snow%akes dri#ed lazily past my windshield as I drove home last week. A cozy cup of hot chocolate, and a nice nap nestled in my covers was on my mind. Working outside in the wind had numbed my hands, and I had to pry them away from the wheel to turn the heat up in the car. I accelerated quickly, trying to warm the en-gine faster. By the time my car was warm, I was pulling into the driveway.

A shame, but regardless, I quickly jogged inside and curled under covers to wash the cold away. !is becomes habit over the winter. Class, work, covers. Sometimes throw a searing hot shower in the mix. It’s a student winter hibernation. !is hiber-nation is also seen as seasonal a$ective disorder, SAD.

Nearly 25 percent of all col-lege students su$er from SAD, which includes symptoms like winter depression, di&culty waking up, di&culty thinking creatively and blaming yourself for everything going wrong, ac-cording to Appalachian State University counseling and psy-chological services.

But this pattern of behavior

can continue no longer. Hiber-nation is over and it is time for us to spring into Spring. Punx-sutawney Phil arose from his groundhog hole at the start of February and predicted an early spring with his lack of shadow.

!ere are no more excuses to lock the door and shut o$ the beautiful sunlight shining through the window.

Rather than starting this semester slow and lazily, we, as students, need to wake up and activate our creative minds. !e easiest way, club and intramu-ral sports. !ere are practices for club sports, inside and out-doors, from 5-9 p.m. daily. !e kickball league for intramural sports just kicked o$, but so#-ball and volleyball are com-ing up quickly. !ere are three club sports trying to get o$ the ground, including wakeboard-ing and men’s water polo, ac-cording to the Arkansas UREC website.

In addition to club sports, the HPER is celebrating Na-tional Rec Sports and Fitness Day Feb. 22 with a Strong Hog competition in the Union, ac-cording to the UREC website.

Do not let the winter lull pull you down any more. !e weather is gorgeous. !e sun is shining. !e trails around Fayetteville are gorgeous. Slip the slump, get active on cam-pus. Instead of stretching across the couch, enjoy a seventh in-ning stretch supporting our top ranked Razorbacks on the baseball "eld. Cheer up! Spring is here.

Joe DelNero is a senior broad-cast journalism major and opin-ion editor of the Traveler.

Spring into Spring

We all know the George Santayana adage, “those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” !e con-verse is also true. Learning from the past, you can have a better future.

Sadly, it seems many col-lege students are oblivious to the present. !ey are not aware enough of current events in the "rst place to ever have time to forget them.

As college students, we are next in line to be the decision-makers of our country.

Come May, thousands of newly minted chemists, nurs-es, lawyers and engineers will be leaving the hills of Fayette-ville and entering the work-force.

Sure, they have all kinds of theories pounded into their long-term memory. Perhaps those students are even con"-dent in their theoretical abili-ties. However, there is a major di$erence between having

an idea and having a real-life example showing how events worked out.

Without memories of what happened in the past, it is hard to "nd solutions for the pres-ent and future.

Why is this important? Sixty-"ve percent of Amer-

icans predict 2013 will be a year of economic di&culty, ac-cording to a turn-of-the-year Gallup Poll published Jan. 2 of this year. !e percent of con-cerned Americans has been steadily rising since 1999.

Despite our president’s recent assurances during the State of the Union address, something about the economy is still causing Americans to be uneasy.

In just a few years, the bur-den of "xing the economic issues will fall onto our shoul-ders, ready or not.

We are in charge. Yet, the problem is, if we are not aware of what is causing things to go awry, we cannot "x it.

How many of us watch the news? Regularly? Or pick up a paper and do a bit more than just scan through the head-lines?

Instead, when it’s time for the 10 o’clock news, do you start thinking about the lat-est episode of your favorite TV show you’ve been seeing cryptic tweets about for the last three hours? How about if a Disney marathon is go-ing down? Do you skip your favorites to listen to the local

news anchor telling you gas prices are on the rise?

I know I certainly struggle to "nd the motivation to stay caught up with the news. It’s easy to slip your mind when you’re bouncing from meet-ings and classes and trying to "t in homework.

About 1 in 12 young adults read the newspaper on close to a daily basis, according to a study by the Kennedy School of Government’s Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy. !at’s just a fraction over 8 percent.

Some students are dedicat-ed news media consumers, but that’s not the trend. !ere are too many oblivious students.

!ere are so many distrac-tions vying for our attention. In order to keep up with the current events of the world, you have to make a conscien-tious e$ort. If it’s not a priority, you will be clueless even to the top news.

Sure, we get a little taste of the news by scrolling through our Facebook and Twitter feeds. But unless you actu-ally follow through and read the links, those headline-like blurbs will not make a lasting impression or give you the im-portant details. !ey tell you just the very basic information — something happened.

!e why is just as impor-tant, though. You have a much better understanding of break-ing news events when you see the cause-and-e$ect relation-

ships between them. Billy Joel’s inspiration for

writing the song “We Didn’t Start the Fire” reportedly came a#er a discussion with a child, who expressed sympathy for Joel because he didn’t get to live through anything excit-ing. So he listed the events that occurred during his lifetime, showing all of the important things that had happened since he was born. Billy Joel didn’t have the help of Google, either, which makes the song even more impressive.

Now, most people should not expect to make the Bill-board Hot 100 chart just be-cause they can recite some his-tory. It could happen, but don’t get your hopes up.

However, when pop culture references a current event, do you catch it?

With the free newspapers o$ered on campus, it’s easy to pick one up at some point throughout your day. It is not necessary to read the paper cover to cover and scribble notes in the margin. Just be aware of the major events that are taking place, and take the time to explore more than the headline and a photo.

Just because you are not aware of events around you does not mean they did not happen. History does not stop.

In response to an incorrect article in Traveler, Kevin Train-or, associate athletic director for media relations send an email to the Traveler editors.

!e "rst paragraph is incorrect “will be taking measures to prevent fans from bringing alcohol into the Hog Pen” is wrong, as is“o&cials with the UA athletics department said.”

“!at is why the athletics department changed their pol-icy … said Kevin Trainor” – that is not why the policy was changed, and that is not what I told the reporter. I made it clear the reporter that the change related to the Hog Pen was to comply with Homeland Security recommendations while still allowing outside food and beverage to enter the Hog Pen area. !is is related accurately in the sixth paragraph, although, be-cause of the previous inaccuracies, it still gives the impression that the purpose of the searches is alcohol, not security, and that impression is incorrect.

“Making Your Journey Worthwhile”

A career search is the !rst step on this road, according to the CDC website, and the main part behind it is following your inter-ests to !nd your career.

“Top achievers in most ca-reers and professions indicate that they invent ways to apply their greatest talents and existing strengths as they work,” accord-ing to the Gallup Organization.

"e aim is to think about what you want to do rather than what would be the best thing for you to do, said Erica Estes-Beard at the CDC. A good way to !gure this out is to think about what kinds of things you thought were fun or what kinds of jobs you thought looked interesting, according to the CDC.

A#er establishing a goal to strive for, the next step comes the job search. "ere are many venues through which one can search for a job, such as Google. "e !rst thing to do when search-ing through Google is to type in the career you are trying to !nd an opening for, and then narrow the results down by including the town or city where you are look-ing for a job. To further narrow the results, enclose the career title in quotation marks and change the time frame for results to in-clude only those posted in the

past week."e next step on the road is

networking. "e CDC recom-mends using LinkedIn to con-nect with people and companies in the !eld students are inter-ested in working in. LinkedIn can help students organize their professional information as well as search for potential job open-ings and network with important people in their !eld. "e Linke-dIn website provides step-by-step instructions on creating and managing a networking pro!le.

"e next step is building a resume. A resume is a one-page summary of a student’s educa-tion, experiences and skills, and is a way to show potential em-ployers a student’s quali!cations, according to the CDC. "e pri-mary purpose behind construct-ing a resume is to get your name and information in the hands of employers and to also get an in-terview, according to the CDC.

A resume is comprised of !ve main categories, the !rst be-ing contact information, which will include an address, a phone number and email.

"e second is your objective, which is a statement of career in-tentions and serves to show the employer your interests.

"e third section is your edu-

cation, which includes your de-gree information, college name and location, graduation date, GPA, any academic awards, and study abroad experience.

"e fourth section is the ex-perience section, which includes any kind of work experience, both paid and volunteer. In this you should also include any kind of leadership positions you held, according to the CDC.

"e !nal section is honors and awards. However, this can be switched with any number of other additional headers; this is tailored to show you o$, accord-ing to the CDC.

A#er building a resume, the next step is the job interview. In

an interview, employers look for !ve main things in an applicant: academic record, relevant work experience, leadership skills, communication skills and enthu-siasm, according to the CDC. A good academic record can con-vey to the employer that you can learn, stay organized and man-age time well, and it indicates a strong work ethic.

"e key to work experience is relevance, according to the CDC; look for opportunities that are related to your degree or career goals.

Employers prefer candidates with leadership skills, according to the CDC. Leadership experi-ence can show that you can con-tribute and can produce results. Communication plays a role as well, and employers will pay at-tention to how well your resume and cover letter are written, ac-cording to the CDC.

"e !nal point in a good in-terview is enthusiasm. Being passionate about your career and asking thoughtful questions can indicate a very high sense of en-thusiasm to potential employers, according to the CDC.

"e !nal step a#er being of-fered a job is entering into job o$er negotiations. Take time to

consider the job and compare it to previous expectations, and not just immediately accept the job, said Barbara Batson at the CDC.

Students need to know what kind of salary they need com-pared to what kind of salary is current for jobs in their !eld. Try not to quote a !gure in an interview, because most of the times you will not get any more than the !rst quoted !gure, and will never know if you could have gotten more. Try to get the em-ployer to o$er a !gure, Batson said.

"is generation may have seen a greater emphasis on bullying awareness in grade school, but the prob-lem is not completely resolved. But maybe there are minor things that people like mentors can do to turn the issue around for some kids.

"e research of Dr. Timothy Cavell, clinical train-ing program director for the psychology department, focuses on just that.

Cavell oversees a program called Lunch Buddy Mentoring. Teacher referrals, parent requests and questionnaires determine bullied or aggressive chil-dren, and then a college student mentor spends a semester simply sitting with a child at lunch twice a week.

“Bullied children are hard to help,” Cavell said. “"ey don’t ask for help, and they don’t like help.”

In an earlier study focusing on aggressive children, the results of Lunch Buddy Mentoring were surprising, Cavell said, because it was only intended to be a con-trol condition in an experiment to test a more compli-cated intervention that included a three-semester-long relationship with a highly trained mentor. As a matter of fact, the relationship that only existed in the lunch-room produced more positive results, he said.

“We think that when a mentor comes and sits with a kid who is not well-liked, other kids want to join the conversation,” Cavell said. “It increases the kid’s social status.”

Cavell noted that the Lunch Buddy mentors’ end-of-term papers are helpful in !nding results. In an ex-cerpt provided by Cavell, one student wrote:

“Some occasions there were kids who would ask me if I was his friend or parent. One time a student asked why did I want to sit with him. Each time I responded that he was my friend, and I thought it was pretty cool that I got to sit with him at lunch. "e students who asked would look like they were shocked, then they began to sit next to us on every visit. It was amazing how their little attitudes or thoughts towards my men-tee changed by me saying I was his friend, and I like sitting with him.”

"e objectives of the program are to build a science of youth mentoring and to !nd an e$ective, but indi-rect way to help chronically bullied children, Cavell said.

"e mentors are held accountable by earning course credit for mentoring because, “sometimes, kids are harmed when mentors don’t follow through,” he said.

Cavell has mentored children one-on-one, mostly by doing activities with them such as playing sports or going to the movies.

“You’re asked to understand a child whose life is di$erent than yours,” he said. "at can present obsta-cles for reasons such as poverty. It can be a challenge to arrange visits when the child’s family does not have a working phone or money to pay their cell phone bill, Cavell said.

“You go into mentoring to give, not to get,” Cavell said. “You will get something out of it, but that’s not why you do it.”

Cavell said he was sometimes surprised by the mag-nitude of his mentee’s connections.

“"e !rst child I mentored had to move away a#er six months,” Cavell said. “It was hard for him to say goodbye, and I had no idea he felt that close to me.”

Cavell has been at the UA for more than 10 years. In addition to his position as clinical training director, he teaches graduate classes in psychotherapy and clini-cal supervision. He previously taught at Texas A&M University.

Cavell chose psychology as his !eld because he wanted to study something that had real-world appli-cations.

“I wanted to learn about something that mattered outside of a university,” Cavell said.

A popular engineering meme reads, “"ere are too many girls in my classes, said no engineering major ever.” It is no se-cret that many people stereotype the typi-cal engineering student as a male, but the Society of Women Engineers is trying to change the world’s perspective.

"e Society of Women Engineers (SWE) currently has about 38 members; students can join by emailing [email protected] or by attending the upcoming meeting Feb. 20 at 6 p.m. While the RSO’s name implies only women are involved, men also join to sup-port women in engineering.

“"e Society of Women Engineers is an organization that encourages women to pursue engineering and other STEM (sci-ence, technology, engineering and math) !elds that are male-dominated,” said Amy Powless, senior biological engineering ma-jor and SWE president.

SWE o$ers a support network for fe-male students who may feel intimidated in a classroom full of guys while providing professional development to help women achieve their full potential in these !elds. "e UA SWE section strives to follow the national mission that focuses on the value of diversity.

While women currently comprise a growing population in the college-educat-ed workforce, only about 14 percent of en-gineers are women, according to an article by "e Washington Post.

“In the past, engineering was not a dis-cipline that female students typically em-braced,” said Danielle Julie Carrier, SWE UA section faculty advisor. Female and male perspectives must be combined to design and innovate the best solutions to solve the challenges that the 21st century presents to us, she said. SWE is a great sup-port mechanism for females, who in some engineering disciplines are a minority, she said.

In fall 2012, there were over 2,600 engi-neering students, according to the UA en-rollment report, which could make !nding that group of people to study with intimi-dating.

SWE allows women to meet other women and men in the engineering dis-cipline who know what we they going through while also being able to help them with their classes, said Betty Phansiri, se-nior biological engineering major. "ere are also a lot of fun events that gives every-one the chance to network and potentially

make lifelong friends, she said. "e Arkansas section of SWE shares

a region with Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. "e next national conference will be held in Baltimore, Md., where over 6,000 SWE members could potentially attend.

“SWE has provided me with so many wonderful opportunities,” Powless said.

Powless has attended two national con-ferences and a regional conference, where she has met many professionals who have given her valuable advice on being a lead-er as well as a female engineer, she said. Many of the speakers at the conferences were well-known people who made her feel starstruck when she heard them speak, she said.

On Feb. 21, SWE will host their speed-networking event, which will consist of eight engineers sharing their experiences in the workforce while teaching network-ing skills.

“My favorite SWE event that we have had in the past was when we had two visi-tors from Wal-Mart, and they spoke to us about di$erences between certain profes-sional attire,” said Rachel Gatling, junior civil engineering major and SWE secre-tary. “"e o%cers of SWE were actually examples of ‘what to wear’ and ‘what not to wear.’ At this event, I learned di$erences

between ‘business casual’ and ‘business professional,’ for instance.”

While making connections that will progress a career a#er college is important, SWE reminds engineers that the bonds made at the UA are important, too.

Gatling said she has met some really awesome and inspiring women. She said they all have di$erent stories and di$erent experiences in their college careers, and being a part of SWE makes her feel part of a smaller group in a large college.

“Our opportunities include anything from scholarships to contacts to even pos-sibly leadership as an o%cer,” Gatling said.

Professionalism is a quality that all companies are looking for, but SWE also gives its members relationships that go be-yond formalities into fellowship.

Phansiri said her favorite thing is the friendships and networking that she see built in the club.

“All of us work hard, and we know how busy each one of us can get, so it is nice to be able to see everyone and unwind,” Phansiri said. “People may hire us for our minds, but they’ll keep us for our personal skills. "ere is no doubt that a person in engineering has very little time to spare, but you shouldn’t go through your college career without joining any organization.”

Basketball is a funny game. No other sport is in!uenced by the atmosphere in the building and the emotion that builds on the court like basketball is. "e game moves quickly up and down the court and a team needs to possess the ball

for only a few seconds before a shot is made or missed and play moves in the opposite di-rection.

Frustration with anything, from a bad call by a referee to excessive gloating from the other team, can lead to an over!ow of emotion, which sometimes leads to negative situations, as was the case a couple of weekends ago when two Southeastern Conference players were ejected for throw-ing punches.

As bad as a slow start can be for a team, a fast start by the opponent can be even worse. I’ve obviously never been in-side the head of a college bas-ketball player, but seeing your opponent hit almost every-thing they throw up, including seven 3-pointers, in the #rst

half of a game has to be pretty disheartening.

"at’s what happened to the Florida Gators when they made a visit to Bud Walton Arena. At hal$ime, they were only down by 11, which isn’t an insurmountable number for a team as good as Florida, especially considering the Hogs’ shooting cooled a con-siderable amount at the end of the #rst and through the sec-ond half.

"e Gators could have come out of the locker room a$er the half and gone on a run and taken the game over, but they didn’t. It was never even that close. I might be completely o% base, but I have to imagine the dismal start by Florida compared with the fantastic start by Arkansas had

something to do with that. Of course, the fanatics that #lled the Bud probably didn’t make life any easier for the Gators.

Rowdy student sections are one of the things that makes college basketball great. It helps create an environment that can’t be replicated, and, as Hog fans know all too well, can make getting away with a victory more di&cult for the visiting team.

However, it’s never a good idea to provide a member of the opposing team with any-thing they can pull motiva-tion from. For example, the Auburn student section spent a good portion of the game against Arkansas chanting “BJ sucks” whenever BJ Young touched the ball. Young #n-ished the game with 25 points.

One aspect of the game that always seems to be over-talked is the #rst meeting of a player and a former team-mate or coach. It seems a little like something that people just talk about, but when you really think about it, it does make a bit of sense. Just think about that friend or coworker that never ceases to tell you how good their team is. It just makes you want to see your team beat them even more.

Again, I’m just speculating, but I think that is something that may have had an e%ect on the Arkansas-Missouri game Saturday. Don’t get me wrong, Missouri is a good team, but they have endured some road struggles of their own. Like the Razorbacks, the Tigers have only won one road game in

conference play and Arkan-sas has proved they are tough to beat at home, but the game went right down to the wire.

"is range of emotions that a team, or even an indi-vidual player, can go through in the course of a game that, compared to the other major sports, is relatively short, and the fact that the emotion can help a team to play above their potential or, on the negative side, can break them down if they handle it wrong, is some-thing that makes college bas-ketball truly amazing.

Emotion, Atmosphere Sets College Basketball Apart

COMMENTARY

All 40 minutes were need-ed for Arkansas to beat Mis-souri Saturday.

Despite being down 70-66 with 34 seconds remaining, the Hogs never found them-selves doubting their ability to come out on top. "en BJ Young decided to take over, giving former Missouri and current Arkansas head coach Mike Anderson his #rst vic-tory against his old team.

Young scored seven points in the last 29 seconds, includ-ing back-to-back three-point plays that put Arkansas up 72-71 with 19 seconds re-maining. Missouri’s Jabari Brown missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer that sealed the Tigers’ fate, and capped of a spectacular last minute for Young.

“My teammates kept en-couraging me, telling me it wasn’t over. I just tried to close out the game,” Young said.

Instead of looking for three-point attempts to come back, the Hogs’ game plan was to continue to attack the basket late in the game, something Young was suc-cessfully able to do.

"e sophomore guard and St. Louis, Mo., native #nished with 18 points, #ve rebounds and #ve assists. When asked if Anderson was nearly suc-cessful recruiting him to Missouri in 2010, Young said “It was always Arkansas.”

Young’s late game heroics

were important, but junior Marshawn Powell’s perfor-mance early in the second half gave the Hogs some much needed con#dence a$er a slow start in the #rst half. Powell #nished with 24 points, 15 of those coming in the second half. He scored 11 points in the #rst #ve min-utes of the second period, giving the Hogs their #rst lead of the game with less than 16 minutes remaining.

Coty Clarke got his sixth consecutive start of the sea-son, and performed well against a taller Missouri front court. Clarke #nished with 13 points and seven boards, and complemented Powell nicely. Despite being the lesser known of the two front courts, Arkansas’ start-ing big men outscored Mis-souri’s Laurence Bowers and Alex Oriakhi 37-9.

Oriakhi, a key component of UConn’s 2010 National Championship team who transferred to Missouri for his senior season, helped the Tigers out-rebound Arkansas 47-31 but couldn’t #nd his groove o%ensively.

Missouri’s team makeup has changed signi#cantly since Anderson le$, as cur-rent head coach Frank Haith has #ve transfer players on his roster in 2013. But the two remaining players from the Anderson era at Missouri, Bowers and Phil Pressey, struggled against their former coach.

BASKETBALL

"e Razorback women’s basketball team beat Missouri 61-40 Sunday, gaining the Hogs their #$h Southeastern Con-ference win of the season. "e Razorbacks wore pink jerseys to support and honor those with breast cancer.

Most fans, except a size-able section of Missouri fans, also wore pink and t-shirts that were sold with the proceeds go-ing to breast cancer research.

"is is the second time this season that the Tigers and the Hogs have met and the second win for the Razorbacks.

Arkansas dominated the game from the very beginning, jumping out to a 17-4 lead a$er an eight minute span in which the Hogs scored 15 points and le$ the Tigers scoreless.

Freshman Dominique Wil-son had a huge game for Arkan-sas, accounting for 18 points. 14 of her points came in the #rst half, where she outscored the entire Missouri team. "e score was 33-11 at hal$ime.

"e eleven points that Mis-souri scored in the #rst half was the lowest amount scored by an SEC opponent against Arkan-sas in program history. "e 40 points the Tigers ended with is the lowest they have scored all season.

“We played great defense and we didn’t give them many open looks,” head coach Tom Collen said. “We did a good job of executing our game plan defensively in the #rst half. We missed some easy shots in the #rst half and really never found our rhythm in the second half o%ensively but we did enough to get the win.”

"e defensive e%ort was huge for the Hogs as they out-

rebounded Missouri 39-32 and forced 20 Tiger turnovers.

Missouri ranks in the top #ve in the country in three-point shooting but was held to two of 16 from the three-point line in Bud Walton Arena Sun-day. Arkansas shot #ve of elev-en from beyond the arch.

Sophomore Calli Berna had a big game for the Hogs, com-ing away with nine points and nine rebounds. Sarah Watkins also had 12 points for Arkan-sas.

Arkansas had some issues from the free throw line, shoot-ing just 64.7 percent to Mis-souri’s 71.4 percent.

Wilson, Watkins, and Berna all played almost the whole game despite the huge advan-tage for Arkansas. Watkins eventually fouled out with two minutes to go in the game.

Next up for Arkansas is a game at Georgia this coming "ursday.

BASEBALL

A$er two days of beating the West Illinois Leathernecks by a combined 16-3, the Ar-kansas Razorbacks dropped the series #nal 7-5 Sunday af-ternoon.

"ree errors in the fourth inning culminated in three runs, giving the Leathernecks a lead that the Razorbacks wouldn’t overcome for the rest of the game.

Senior Matt Vinson, sophomore Brian Anderson and redshirt freshman John Ramirez committed the er-rors. Before Sunday the Ra-

zorbacks didn’t have any er-rors.

"ree starters were not in place for the Diamond Hogs Sunday – Ramirez replaced Jake Wise at catcher, Ander-son was moved from third base to replace Bret McA%ee at shortstop, and Jacob Ma-han replaced second base-man Dominic Ficociello, who was out for the series with a strained oblique.

McA%ee and Wise were both brought in as pinch hit-ters later in the game; neither got a hit in three at bats each.

Le$-handed pitcher Trent Daniel faltered in his #rst start of the season, allowing six runs in 3 1/3 innings on

eight hits. Only three of the runs were earned, and Daniel struck out two.

"e series #nal was a dif-ferent scenario entirely than the previous two games. Fri-day, the Razorbacks beat the Leathernecks 9-1. Eight of the nine Hog starters had a hit, and Arkansas scored #ve runs in the third inning.

Redshirt sophomore Eric Fisher had a great start to the season by hitting 2-for-4 and getting his #rst collegiate home run.

Junior Ryne Stanek started the Friday game and allowed one run on two hits and pitched four strikeouts in four innings pitched.

Saturday, the Razorbacks continued the success and walked away with a 7-2 vic-tory.

Junior Barrett Astin was credited with the win for pitching #ve innings and al-lowing one run on three hits with three strikeouts.

Sophomore Joe Serrano and Vinson both had two RBI.

At the end of the series, the leading hitters for the Dia-mond Hogs are Anderson and freshman Tyler Spoon, who are both hitting above .500.

"e Razorbacks face the New Orleans Privateers for the midweek series Tuesday and Wednesday. First pitch is set for 3:05 p.m. Tuesday.

Hogs Fall Short of the Sweep

Kristen CoppolaSports Editor

Mary McKay Sta" PhotographerJacob Morris scored two runs during the Razorback’s series against Western Illinois over the weekend. !e Razorbacks dropped the #nal game Sunday, but won the series 2-1.

RALLY continued from page 7on 2-9 shooting with four turnovers. Bowers #nished 1-10 from the #eld and #n-ished with two points, and has still yet to be full-strength a$er returning from an inju-ry Jan. 30. Haith declined to comment on the two player’s performances.

Anderson, however, was proud of how his former play-ers have evolved their games since he le$ Missouri.

“It was great to see them, I hate to see them on the op-posing team,” Anderson said. “"ey came in as young boys and now these guys are men. I’ve known them since they were little bitty guys. "ere’s an attachment that will be there forever.”

With over 19,000 in at-tendance, many in black and gold, the #rst conference meeting between Arkansas and Missouri felt like a rival-ry-type atmosphere. Sharing the border with each other

only made the expectations of a big game that much higher.

“As the years go on, it’s go-ing to get interesting,” Powell said about a potential rivalry brewing.

“I think this will be one of the bigger games people look forward to every year. It could turn into a rivalry game,” Young said.
