It is my pleasure to present to you the premiere issue of Full Bleed Magazine. This wonderful exploration of current issues and the Chicagoland community is

written, designed and produced by the students of the Institute of Art and Design at Robert Morris College.

Full Bleed is the result of the collaboration of graphic de-sign students from multiple backgrounds. The concept, taken from a Graphic Design production term meaning “all the way to the edge” is clearly reflected in the design of its pages… there are few boundaries.

With the support of faculty advisor, Cherrie Jolliff, the students chose the concept, title, content and visuals that culminate into these pages.

The Institute of Art and Design at Robert Morris is proud to be able to offer this publication to join the ranks of The Eagle newspaper and Egg literary maga-zine. We hope you enjoy this creative journey through the eyes of our students!

Me siento atrapado conmigo mismo

en esta ambigüedad obscura de café.

Noches frustradas sin dormir,

con el canvas en blanco y la mente en gris;mi figura estática

y mediocre.

Frustraciones amargascon el cerebro atrapado;expresiones estreñidas.

Muerte al culpable;muerte a el reflejo; en el espejo existo.

Soy la reencarnación del toro embliaga,de un artista con talento sin éxito

enredado en la telaraña de lo irracional,

esperando a la arañacon un cuchillo en la espalda.

Encerrado en este cuerpomi cerebro en un frasco

sin oxígeno ni luz de inspiracion cotidiana.

Pero cuando las paredes caigan, toda la mierda saldrá de mi cerebro

con olor a rosas y éxstasis en el alma.

En camino místico hacía el cráneo del toro,

tendré cuernos.

Ricardo Santos

HernandezR

icardo Santos Hernandez was born in Nogales, Arizona, a border city in the high Sonoran Desert. His grandmother was an Indio woman from the state of Nayarit in

Mexico and married a Yaqui Indio from Sonora. His mother is a Chicana woman from Los Angeles, California. Santos is a mixture of Chicano and Indio culture and his works reflect his backgrounds respectively.

Santos attended Arizona State University, where he received a Bachelor’s degree in Art Education. After teaching for a few years, Santos felt that he had more to give to the world of art. “I always loved drawing since I was little,” Santos said. He felt that his education should continue and expand his knowledge in art. Santos decided to attend graduate school. “I worked really hard building up a good portfolio, but if I could do it, anyone can.” He applied to different schools for his graduate program, including Yale University and the Art Institute of Chicago. The Art Institute of Chicago was interested in his work and offered him the Recognition Scholarship and the Chicago Incentive Scholarship in 1993. Santos received a MFA in Painting and Drawing from the Art Institute in 1996, and in 2000 he obtained a Master in Elementary Education at the University of Illinois.

Santos is very serious, intellectual, and sentimental with his work. “In my world, the art I produce is a story, a journey, and a ritual,” he says. His paintings reflect his curiosity for new findings about himself and the environment in which he lives, which he says adds meaning to his life. Santos has a need to explore the unknown, internal elements that have influenced his life with only one purpose: to acknowledge and understand his existence.

U.S. Governmentsteals money from illegal

immigrantsO

ne major injustice regarding illegal immigrants is that their wages are taxed, but they obtain no benefits. According to immigration: New Ameri-cans, Old Questions: “Illegal aliens contribute

to the public purse withheld through social security and income tax payments more than they take out.” In spite of all their hard work and having the worst salaries they still must pay social security taxes. Their economy is usually bad and it is unfair that they get almost nothing from their jobs.

Illegal immigrants are also human beings; therefore, they have rights. They deserve government aid for all their contri-butions to the U.S. not only economic, but also cultural. Thanks to immigration, this country has been enriched in diversity, of everything that immigrants (legal and illegal) have brought here. “Taxes paid by each 1 million illegals were estimated to be $995 million, leaving a net cost of $1.25 billion for each one million illegal immi-grants. Those costs would be close to $2 billion a year.” (Cothran) This shows that illegal aliens are people of huge importance because of their enormous economic contributions to the U.S., and merit to benefit for all their hard work.

There are many social problems faced by illegal immi-grants. First, social security is deducted from their remu-nerations, though they don’t benefit from that. Second, State and Federal taxes are also deducted, but they aren’t entitled to unemployment insurance, welfare, or grants to continue their education if they want to do so. Article 9 of The Bill of Human Rights states that “Everyone has the right to social security, including social insurance.” This shows that illegals are being denied their human right to obtain what is cited there; therefore, they shouldn’t be de-prived from what, according to their rights, as humans can have.

Illegal immigrants need to have a social security number in order to get a job in this country, as a result, they will get a fake one, automatically they will be deducted many things that they don’t know about, but opt not to ask because they are afraid to be deported. Among the things they pay for, although they don’t enjoy at all, are income tax returns and medical care. According to Article 23 of the The Bill of Human Rights “Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work.” This means that illegal aliens, in spite of their migratory status, have the right to claim the monies they earn.

Article 12 of The Bill of Human Rights cite that “Everyone has the right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health.” This

demonstrates that illegals can claim the medical care that corresponds to them, though for some reason is being denied.

Many people believe er-roneously, that illegals are a burden to the nation because they excessively

use social services and are ruining our economy when in reality “Illegal immigrants simply do not qualify for welfare. Period.” (Bender). This shows the truth. Most people believe that illegals should not be here because they damage our economy, but they really make it grow every single day.

Illegal immigrants are people who come to this country seeking an opportunity to progress; they are not trying to steal U.S. money at all. It is not the type of aid that is being asked for, but simply the rights that illegal aliens merit for the work they do because of all what they have contrib-uted to the development of our economy throughout history. The assistance that is asked is to obtain the rights that they merit for working here and making the United States of America one of the most powerful countries in

“Illegal aliens contribute to the public purse withheld through social security and income tax payments

more than they take out.”

The Battle for the

Today, so many young women are literally bat-tling with the waistline issue that has plagued our conscience in recent years. Who says that being a size 2 makes you sexy and acceptable?

Who put the label of “plus-size” on a woman who wears a size 8? That size 2 is the perfect weight that many young women today want so badly that they are willing to do almost anything to have it. Lisa Bennet, a twenty-year old college student, has been on the heavier side most of her life. Out of three siblings, she was the biggest. School was not a place of inter-est for her because she felt unwanted and unattractive. “It really didn’t bother me that much that I was big-ger until classmates started teasing me,” says Bennett. She had many friends in high school, but Lisa always felt like the ugly duckling among them. “It was hard when I went shopping with my girlfriends. They tried on all the nicest things, and I stood watching because I was too embarrassed for them to see me try clothes on that wouldn’t fit me anyway.”

In sixth grade, Lisa weighed the most she had ever weighed in her entire life. She went on diets, tried exercis-ing, and even starved herself. However, it did not occur to her that she was starving herself; it just seemed like she was making an extreme effort to lose weight. She would tell me about the weight she had lost (usually five or six

pounds) only to gain it all back. “I was so sick of con-stantly eating. It made me cry to know that I was hungry. I was disgusted and ashamed of what I looked like and who I was.”

During her sophomore year, Lisa went on the Atkins Diet. She lost ten pounds from starving herself. We en-couraged her to eat healthfully, but she admitted that she did not listen. She confided in me that she was hungry

throughout the day, yet did not dare to give in. Los-ing ten pounds meant the world to her, and she was determined to lose more. She did look thinner, but certainly not healthier. She appeared frail and tired, and took on a sickly look from depriving herself of much-

needed nutrition. The change was so obvious that rumors of an eating disorder began to circulate. Since then, Lisa has struggled. She has learned to manage her weight without starving herself. The ordeal has taught her that the size of her waistline does not matter. It’s not worth getting sick over it or starving yourself. Still, many adolescents spend time wrangling with this issue. Lisa spends her time enjoying life and accepts that she might never have the “ultimate” waistline. “I’m happy with the weight I am [at] now. I know that I’ll never be perfect in the eyes of people who judge me, but I’m perfect to me and that is why I am happy and confident.”

Women, especially teens, agree that the pur-pose of makeup is to fix imperfections such as blemishes, pimples, and scars. But what happens when a person relies on

makeup so much that it does not allow them to step out-side without wearing a layer of cake makeup? Many fe-males, especially adolescent girls, suffer from low self-es-teem, primarily in relation to their physical appearance. Eva Jachera, a twenty-one year old workaholic, is one of these people. Eva gradu-ated from high school a few years ago, and then decided not to pursue an education. She wanted to work in or-der to make a living. ”I wanted to learn how to pro-vide for myself, so all I did was work, work, and work. I had my first job when I was 13, working for my dad.”

The fast pace of school from earlier years and her jobs did not allow her to eat as healthy as she wanted to. In-stead, she relied on fast food and snacks for energy. “That was a big mistake. I didn’t exactly gain weight, but I got lots of pimples from the fast food instead. It was horrible.” Not feeling or looking like everyone else gave her low self-esteem. Matters became worse when bags started forming under her eyes, followed by pimples.

Jachera has been using makeup since she was twelve. She started with flavored lip gloss and using cover-up for the small pimples brought on by puberty. Later, she used thick eye liner, different eye shadows, mascara, blush, bronzer, liquid lipstick, and powdered cover-up for her entire face.

“When I look at myself after I put on the makeup, I feel so different. It’s like I went from beast to beauty; a big differ-ence.” Only then does she feel confident enough to be seen by other people. Eva says the makeup acts like a mask she can hide behind.

Eva says the makeup helped her become more outgoing, and not so worried about her ugliness. But to what extent

can makeup really help a per-son become more self-con-fident? “I know that one day, I will marry someone, and I’m afraid that when he sees me without [makeup], he will change his mind. That’s my worst fear.”

A few months ago, Eva saw a dermatologist for her blemishes and acne. She was told that all the cosmet-ics were actually harming her skin and causing the breakouts. The liquid cover up was drying her skin and causing premature aging. She learned that in order to

minimize the effects of over-using foundation, she had to put on less makeup each day. Though it was not easy to quit relying on cosmetics, Eva learned the importance of inner beauty: it is what is on the inside that counts.

Today, she doesn’t use liquid foundation anymore, and has switched to powdered minerals that do not harm her skin. Eva also eats healthier and makes time to sleep more. As a result, the eye bags became smaller and her com-plexion cleared up. Eva believes that all these changes have given her a new confidence that has built her self-esteem and has given her courage to step out from behind the mask.

At what age is it okay to start wearing makeup? Though answers may vary, many teens agree that they became makeup fanatics during their freshman year in high school.

Many would say that shows such as ‘Ameri-ca’s Next Top Model’ are interesting to ob-serve how beautiful young women fight for the chance to become recognized for their

beauty in a competitive industry. Others think that such shows can put people down and make them feel not good enough to succeed in anything; that such shows teach younger women that beauty is what it’s all about.

Take for example Music Television, or MTV, the most watched TV station by teen-agers in the U.S. Obviously, it was created to promote music by appealing to the youth, but is there a hidden chance that it may be pro-moting something else? Of course! MTV has its ways of promoting sex and drinking through its music videos, and its famous reality shows. Most importantly, it’s the num-ber one leader in telling audiences what’s hot and what’s not, and that fact cannot be argued. Take for example all the fashion makeovers and trend setting that takes place on any show that is broadcasted.

Every time we pick up a magazine, we see the image of the perfect woman with the perfect body, face, and hair. Have you ever noticed that thin blondes grace the covers of most magazines? It seems like they are trying to say, that only women with such attributes are wor-thy enough to get any attention. The truth is, no one has the same body type or hair color, so why are adolescent girls constantly obsessing over their looks? It seems that the purpose of magazines is to promote and sell beauty. It’s almost as if when you purchase certain makeup will you be beautiful and will get attention, and only if you change your hair color will you be as beautiful as Gwen Stefani or Britney Spears, and the list goes on and on and continues. The influence of media plays a big role in

our culture. Everyone knows that. Since the emergence of pop culture, our ways of looking at ourselves have dramatically changed. Curves are out, thin and flat is in. Inner beauty is being replaced by having what is on the outside matter the most. Young women are learning from example, and what is being shown to them, is changing the way they look at themselves, causing them to criti-cize each aspect of their natural beauty. It’s essentially in-fluencing adolescent women to put themselves through rigorous workouts, physical and mental changes, as well

as eating disorders, such as Anorexia and Bulimia. Never has the number of young girls with eating disorders ever been as high as it is now. An-other increasing trend among adolescents is going under the knife to receive plastic surgery.

Most admit to wanting to resemble a certain celebrity they admire. Even MTV did a special on this issue. Young women are being shown that in order to be accepted, you must have the body of Britney Spears or Paris Hilton, the face of Penelope Cruz, and the hair of a gorgeous bomb shell, not to mention all the latest fashion trends.

Adolescent girls are especially more vulnerable to these messages because they have more self-esteem is-sues than anyone else. Younger girls feel a bigger pres-sure to be like everyone else. It is harder for adolescent women to see and accept the importance of being a beautiful individual, on the inside and out. If the media continues to have the same affect on adolescent girls in the future, it will only get worse, and it will become the next top role model, causing girls to focus on how they should look, instead of focusing on what is important, their beauty within, the one thing that matters the most in life.

“Who says that being a size 2 makes you sexy and acceptable? And who ever put the label of ‘plus size’ on a woman who wears a size 8 or 10? The media is teach-ing us that only a certain size, look, and

personality is accepted.”

We’ve all seen the new hit show ‘America’s Next Top Model’ on UPN, the show that turns tall, thin, and good looking women into fierce beautiful models. The question is, what kind of message are younger viewers really getting from watching such shows?

Robert Morris College hosted its second Insti-tutional Senior Exhibit on February 16th in the State Street Gallery at the RMC campus in Chicago. The exhibit displayed artwork by stu-

dents from each of the campuses that included Chicago, Dupage, Orland Park, O’Hare, and Springfield. During this exhibit, RMC seniors displayed their best Graphic Designs, Digital Effects and Animation artwork that they have created through-out their educational stay at Robert Morris College.

Students, most common-ly in their senior year, par-ticipated in a Senior Exhibit class, which prepares each student for their final show. Students picked their best work from previous quarters, and then had an opportunity to make any adjustments that would best exhibit their pro-fessional skill level. Students also met required deadlines for submitting PDF versions of their files. The files were then either printed on cam-pus or at a professional establishment of their choice. Students were also responsible for matting or framing each piece of artwork, and then submitting their pieces for jurying.

Professional art and design members of the facul-ty then juried each piece of artwork submitted by the RMC campuses. Once juried, students were informed

of which pieces made it into the show, even though not every piece that was submitted made the cut. The pro-cess was completed when the artwork was finally hung in the gallery and was then prepared for the February 16th show.

The work that was displayed in the gallery exhibit-ed many different styles and provided a wide variety of

work ranging from graphic design to photography, as well as fine art, film, ani-mation, and video games. The Senior Exhibit class and show was a bittersweet end-ing to a long and strenuous experience at Robert Morris College. Students prepare for their Senior Exhibit starting from day one.

This process teaches the students about real world applications and the truth in the matter, that not all work that they produce will cater to the needs of their clients. The Senior Exhibit helps pre-

pare students for their future careers in the design indus-try, as well as boosting their eagerness to get into their fields as soon as possible.

In the end, it was an excellent honor and achievement for the students to be able to showcase their artwork for the public. For those students, who pieces were picked, and even for those works not in the show, it was an emo-tional, yet meaningful experience.

To combat the cost of school supplies, you must buy in bulk for the whole year instead of going to the store every week. The best time is during back-to-school sales because prices become higher later in the year. If you buy In bulk you will probably only have to get school supplies every 3 to 4 weeks.

Now to the killer category: miscellaneous items, or stuff we don’t need. I know we need to have clothes, shoes, music, and video games, but let’s think about that: is that going to help us in the real world? Would you rather look good with a growling stomach, or look decent with food in your belly? It’s okay to buy something nice once in a while, but doing it every week will make you struggle. If you can cut miscellaneous spending down to $25 to $30 a week, you can put more money towards important things.

Wit h my c a l c u l a t ion s , t he bud ge t p l a n I suggested will take us from $150 to $80, which is a $70 difference. Just think about that extra $70 that you can put t o w a r d s s ome t h i n g useful. If you are a college student you know money can get t ight , so implementing a budget is important to your daily routine. When you budget, you won’t have to decide between food and gas.

H ave you ever been in a situation where you had to choose between gas, food, and any other necessity? If you haven’t been in that kind of predicament, you’ve never been

in college. Most college students face lack of funds every day. Sometimes we have to go without a full meal because we can’t afford it. The worst decision in the world is whether to get food or gasoline. Peter Donepanya, a student at Robert Morris College says, “if I’m at home and have to choose between food or gas I get food, but if I’m at school I choose gas so I can get back home.” Some students go through this on a weekly or even a daily basis.

A survey I conducted about weekly expenses showed that RMC students spend about $30 on gas, $40 on food, $13 on school supplies, and $67 on miscellaneous items. We spend the bulk of our money on stuff that we really don’t need, and it puts us in the situation where we have to choose between the things we do need. If you add those numbers up, about $150 a week is spent for those categories. 45% is for things we don’t need.

With the information I gathered, I’ve come up with a simple, yet cost effective budgeting plan for college students. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about gas.

Let’s talk about food. My survey showed that we spend about $40 for those expenses. My solution is to pack a lunch, but if you can’t do that there is always a fast food dollar menu. Almost every restaurant has one these days: McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, and others. If you spend $3 to $4 per day on the dollar menu, that is $12 to $16 a week, which will save you $24 to $26 a week.

No one really knows when and where football, also known as soccer, started. The British claim to have invented the sport, and they are right. They invented the basics of mod-

ern football, which evolved into the sport that we know now.

During the medieval period, villages played games against other villages by kicking a ball from one end of a field to another. Those games proved to be too violent, as anything was allowed in order to travel the ball to the opposite end. In 1815, Eton College established a set of rules known as the Cambridge Rules, which was later adopted by other schools and university. However, dif-ferent groups started to make changes to the rules and started to play their own way. Football was now divided in two: traditional football kept the original Cambridge Rules, and new football used new rules such as carrying the ball, tripping, and knocking down other players. (This was later named rugby.)

On October 26th, 1863, club representatives of both football and rugby had a meeting at Freemason’s Tavern in London. The purpose was to make one official set of

regulations and strictly unify the clubs under these rules. Banning the use of carrying the ball and kicking below the knees were the most significant changes. Rugby fol-lowers did not agree and left the tavern. They later estab-lished their own rules, officially marking rugby as a sepa-rate sport.

The representatives that stayed founded the Football Association, but it wasn’t until May 1904 that the asso-ciation became international. Association representatives from all over Europe met in Paris and signed a founda-tion act that created the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). The Federation was exclu-sively European until South Africa joined in 1909. Chile and Argentina followed in 1912, and the United States joined in 1913. Over time, more members joined, despite the tensions brought by World War I.

Inspired by past Olympic Games, FIFA decided to have its own major event in 1930. Uruguay was celebrat-ing its centennial anniversary of independence, and had won the Olympic Games in 1924 and 1928. They were the perfect choice to host the first FIFA World Cup Tour-nament. It was held at Centenario Stadium in Montevi-deo on July 30th, 1930. The locals won the first World

Your Guide to Germany This summer all eyes fall on Germany to see the 32 best national teams in the sport of football. After four years of waiting and preparations, the world is waiting to see what is expected to be one of the most talented and competitive World Cups in football history.

For a whole month, the single greatest sport (according to the whole planet) will have the biggest sporting event in the world this year. From June 9 to July 9, Germany will serve as the host for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. 12 cities will be the center of at-tention of the entire planet when 32 different coun-tries clash in battles to survive for a chance to take the trophy home. Football, fútbol, futebol, fuss ball, soccer, or whatever you want to call it, gathers millions of fans around the globe to create a union of races and lan-guages that become only one. (It must be heaven) Short, tall, fat, thin, ugly, beautiful, black, white, brown, yellow, blue, green; no matter what you are, you’re all invited!

One month, 32 teams, 64 games, 736 players, thousands of fans in Germany, billions

1st RoundThe thirty-two teams are divided into groups of four, la-beled Group A to Group H. Each group has four teams, and each team must play the others, ensuring at least three played games per team. The teams are ranked ac-cording to who makes more points. The first and second-ranked teams in each group qualify for the next round. The third and fourth places are eliminated. If two or more teams tie for points, than the team with the higher goal difference will take the higher rank.

Round of 16The remaining sixteen teams qualified for this round are placed according to the group they belong to and the position they received. The teams are and placed in brackets and this starts the process of elimination until there are two remaining in the final. Argentina and Hol-land are teams that qualified to this round are placed to compete according to the group they belong to, and to the position they received.

Cup by beating their arch-rivals, Argentina, 4 – 2. The process of elimination was very different then; in 1930 there were only thirteen teams instead of thirty-two. The number went up to sixteen in 1950, and to twen-ty-four in 1980. Since 1998, thirty-two teams compete, half of which are eliminated in the first round.

To make the competition fair and just, FIFA is split into groups of world regions called confederations. Each confederation has a tournament called the Pre-liminaries. This competition determines who quali-fies for the World Cup. After all the teams play one another from their confederation, the highest-ranked qualify for the Cup. The process takes three and a half hears, giving each country ample time for prepara-tion.

Uruguay and Italy dominated the first four World Cup tournaments the world took a break from 1938 to 1950 due to WWII. In Brazil, in 1950, Uruguay reappeared by winning their second World Cup. In 1958 and 1962 Brazil demonstrated why they are the kings of football by winning two con-secutive championships. In 1970 Brazil was voted to be the team of the century, and it was Pelé’s golden career peak.

Mexico was the first country to host two World Cups, and was also witness to the two best players in world history. In 1970 Edson Aran-

tes do Nasciemento, or Pelé, demonstrated was he is called by some, ‘King Pelé,’ the winner of three World Cups. And in 1986, a new football, star had already been born, but that year’s World Cup was the place to prove to the world his talents. Diego Armando Maradona, Argentina’s ultimate #10, made what was voted the goal of the century against England in the quarters finals, and also the infamous goal entitled ‘Hand of God’ which he punched into the net with his hand.

spiders to everything else

in between. Segregated groups started using tattoos

as a symbolic identifier. The hippie movement adopted the peace sign, and it became commonplace for rock ‘n’ roll stars to have the art sprawled across their bodies. Gays and lesbians also developed pink triangle and rainbow symbols to recognize each other.

Joe Spirini of the Prairie Tattoo parlor says, “1980 was a climactic era for the industry. Everybody and their mothers were pouring in to get a tat and it continues to increase in clientele every day.” While the art gained a big momentum during that

decade, people still feared public persecution in the workplace as well as on the street. It was unlikely that a person could find employment with tattoos noticeably visible, even at a McDonald’s restaurant.

Acceptance Despite the obstacles, the industry has survived and is now doing so with ease. During a recent visit to my dentist, I was greeted by a beautiful woman with a bracelet inked into her wrist. Surprised, I asked her why she’d gotten one in such a noticeable location. She replied, “My grandma suggested it.”

T he perception of tattoos varies throughout the world and has changed throughout history. The origin of the art is still unknown, yet all of the documented

history of mankind has referenced tattooing. Despite its longevity, body paint has not always received praise as an artistic medium. Even in America, the public has conflicting views of the bearers of this art.

American originThe application arrived here via English

captain James Cook, who stumbled upon the ancient practice in the

Polynesian islands. Later, Samuel O’Reilly, an American,

invented the first electric tattoo machine, which

decreased the cost of tattoos and allowed

its popularity to grow.

At first, tattoos could only be viewed in limited atmospheres such as a side show or circus, and all tattooed persons were labeled as freaks. Despite the negative reactions, people were quite intrigued by the body paint, though they did not condone it. Most people shied away from the possibility of tattooing themselves for fear of being perceived as non-conformists. This eventually led to the stereotype that the tattooed were foul-mouthed sailors or lower-class criminals.

After decades of negative perception, people gradually began filling the negative spaces of skin with a variety of illustrations, from dragons and

In the aftermath of hurricanes in the gulf and an ongoing war abroad, the dependence of foreign oil has never been higher. The government is encouraging automobile manufacturers to develop ways to increase gas mileage and create new technology that will rid us of our oil addiction. New advances, such as hybrids, advance diesels, and new forms of fuel are already on the market. The demand is out there and manufacturers like Honda, Ford, Toyota, and Chevy, have vehicles on the roads meeting those demands. The 2007 Honda Civic hybrid and Toyota Prius have sold well because people want change.

In recent years, Texas Hold’em Poker has become an immensely popular game not just to play, but watch on television. The World Series of Poker (abbreviat-ed to WSOP), is shown on ESPN, ESPN2, and is

featured on the Travel Channel’s World Poker Tour program.

Even a novice viewer will quickly learn that Doyle Brunson, Chris Fer-guson, and Howard Lederer are the most esteemed players of this game. Brunson won the Series in 1976 and 1977, and even at seventy-one he is quite a formidable player. Chris Fer-guson, nicknamed “Jesus,” was a computer programmer before he be-came a professional poker player. His 2000 WSOP win can be attributed to his photographic memory. Lederer is known for his toughness, yet is still widely respected.

This century has seen a decrease in the average age of pok-er players. New players in the World Series of Poker are in their twenties; before, significantly older men played.

Demographics have shifted, too. Women also compete and have prov-en to be worthy opponents. Howard Lederer taught his sister, Annie Duke, to play, and both made it to the final table during the 1994 World Series.

New technology involving small cam-eras allows television viewers to see each card in a player’s hand. TV cov-erage from previous decades could only allow guesses. Nowadays, any

WSOP observer can tell who is bluffing and who has won the pot. It is very fun to watch the psychology behind the game.

As told by the Wolf Clan to Kathy King.

Little Red Riding Hood is a fraud. The story was con-ceived to give wolves a bad name. To tell the truth, she and her grandmother were the real villains. What I am going tell you is a secret that has been passed down

from wolf family to wolf family since the incident took place. My mother told it to me and I believe it’s time to set the record straight. You see, man and wolf have always lived at odds. Don’t believe that crap about a time when man and animals lived in harmony. You humans have always been selfish and dangerous.

We animals didn’t know how your species would turn out, but we knew that you were bad news. Animals came to Earth first. We flew here from Orion in a big star ship of crystal and glass. The first animals came in pairs- owls, snakes, horses, beetles, and wolves. The planet was freshly made, steamy and verdant. Our great animal gods made this planet for us. We got along just fine. Then humans showed up. The great animal gods dropped a pair off and told us to teach them everything we knew. We did because we didn’t disobey our gods — after all we lived in paradise; why complain?

Trouble started immediately. We disagreed over who would teach them first. The beetle wanted to teach them how to lay eggs in dung and the owls wanted to teach them to fly. It was my great ancestor Proud Wolf who reasoned with the others and after much consternation we decided to let the horse have first crack. Horse taught humans to run and forage for food on the ground and in the low hanging tree limbs. Horse taught man which plants were edible and which were poison. For the record, humans didn’t know anything before the animals decided to teach them. After they arrived, they sat around staring at the sky and scratching their heads. Horse taught them to eat grains, berries and root vegetables. Horse taught them how to run on all fours but reach up on two legs for the food up high.

Beetle taught them how not to foul up their living space. At first humans would excrete anywhere, Right where they were standing, eating, or sleeping. It was disgusting and unhealthy. But over time, Beetle showed them how to dig holes for waste disposal and use areas away from the living space to do their bodily functions.

Bird taught them about near and far, time and counting. Animals had multiplied greatly since our arrival and those birds

had reproduced mightily with many variations, colors, and types. The great mistake, I must admit, was made by wolves, but we were just following orders. After Snake had taught them to wear coverings made from the skin it shed, the humans could travel further north. They had just produced two offspring when we got word from the gods that it was time for Wolf to teach them to hunt. Initially, Great Wolf pleaded with the gods to not teach the humans how to kill. He said they were not smart enough to do it properly or wisely. The gods responded, “Teach them anyway.”

Because wolves had questioned them, the gods gave Man a special gift that the others did not have. This gift was fire. We animals knew about fire, but used it sparingly for it could be deadly if not controlled. We knew humans weren’t ready. But the animal gods insisted and gave Man fire just after Wolf taught them to hunt. Humans left their fires burning, and the Great Mother Forest went up in flames. Many animals died, while the survivors moved further south, leaving humans to themselves.

Together, in another forest far away, the animals gathered to plan a way to take fire from Man. Feathered spies reported Man’s activity and the news was not good. Wherever they went, the humans took fire and scorched the land. A delegation of animals set out to reason with the humans. They were captured, killed, or burned. Thus began the great war between humans and animals. We attacked them and even captured some who were educated so they could live in harmony with animals and nature. More often than not those humans would escape and kill us.

Another animal meeting was called. It was agreed that someone would have to get the fire from them so that their advantage over us would be smaller. At first, none of the animals volunteered. Most of them were frightened and reports said that some of the animals were now serving the humans. Our cousin, the dog, the small cats, and some of the song birds were aiding the human cause. We argued over who should go until finally Proud Wolf rose up and declared he would, if he had help. Canary promised to help, as did Snake. They devised a plan. All the animals knew that the human fire-keeper was an older female known as Grandmother. She lived in what was left of the old woods in the north. The canary knew this was true because she had been locked away in a cage in the old woman’s

The Real Story of Li

”No!” she cried, hitting him in the face with her basket. Her screams roused Grandmother, still alive under the bed. A woodsman charged in and beat Wolf with his axe handle. Wolf was strong, though, and shook him off, limping towards the door. Outside, nearsighted Snake mistakenly bites him on his front paw.

Later, as he lay in the woods, the other animals gathered around Wolf. He said, “I was betrayed by Snake. I almost had the fire box. Where did the woodsman come from?”

Wolf didn’t die that day. He was strong and it took him many moons before the snake’s poison killed him. But the damage was done. Humans spread fire-making to all their villages. The other birds were cross at the canary, who was cross with the wolf, who was cross with the snake. All the animals were now fighting amongst themselves, and so their unity ceased. The animal gods turned to humans and blessed them. They cursed the wolf to be alone, except with his own kind. The wolf cursed the other animals and vowed to kill them every chance he could. This is the real story of Little Red Riding Hood, Grandmother, and the Wolf.

ttle Red Riding Hoodnest. Snake told Wolf that he had heard Grandmother tell her son to send the small girl called Red to her house on Moon’s Day to get the fire. Grandmother said that she would need Red to bring the new fire starter the humans had created so she could put the original fire in it. The humans would have fire whenever they wanted it.

Led by Snake, Wolf journeyed to the northern forest. This forest was thick and green and was the original forest that all the animals had lived in before the fire burned it down. Wolf was amazed that the forest had grown back so quickly. As he neared Grandmother’s house, he wondered if the animal gods were watching. The animal gods had changed and now sided with Man. Wolf alone had opposed them, so humans were encouraged to hunt wolves and kill them for their fur. The canary and snake warned Wolf about the dog who lived with Grandmother. Wolf sent Snake ahead to bite the dog, which snake later claimed he did. Wolf reached the woods near Grandmother’s at high noon. He saw the dog foaming and moaning on the porch. Wolf leaped over the dog, knocking the door open with his front paws. Grandmother screamed as Wolf grabbed her by the throat. He dragged her around the room until she stopped making sounds, and then pushed her under the bed. The canary told him earlier that the fire was hidden in a shiny metal box on the table. Wolf saw the box and picked up with his front paws. He heard a small voice singing and coming closer. He took the box and put it under a pillow. He reached for Grandmother’s bonnet, robe, and glasses, and quickly put them on as he jumped into bed.

Red came in singing. Disguised as Grandmother, Wolf pulled the bed covers up to his chin.

“Hello, Grandmother,” Red called. “Are you all right? Your door is wide open and it’s dark in here. Shall I light the fire?”

“No, no,” Wolf replied in a small, squeaky voice. “I like it dim; the light hurts my eyes.”

Now, you know how the rest of the conversation goes, so I won’t repeat it. I will tell you what the humans left out of the conversation – they are consummate liars. Anyway, Red discovered that Wolf was not her grandmother. He jumped out of the bed and grabbed Little Red. “Give me that fire-holder, you pitiful human!”
