FSU named ‘Most Engaged’

Joseph La Belle/FSViewFSU beat out 50 other institutions to be named ‘Most Engaged Campus of the Year’ for outstanding community service, service learning and community-based research by the Florida Campus Compact. ‘Our goal would be for all campuses to have a center like Florida State’s,’ Executive Director Florida Campus Compact DeeDee Rasmussen said.

Reid Compton/FSViewMidterm elections produced a Republican majority in Florida, and Rick Scott was elected as governor, and inau-gurated on Jan. 4. FSU students have since been involved in the countless rallies and demonstrations both for and against the shift in power, including the student-led, pan-Florida group ‘Fight Back Florida.’

Joseph La Belle/FSViewFSU welcomed comedians John Oliver (The Daily Show) and Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live) for the Home-coming Pow Wow show. 2010’s Pow Wow also included, as always, performances by FSU’s own Flying High Circus, Golden Girls and cheerleading squad.

Reid Compton/FSViewFlorida State football earned a 31-7 victory over University of Florida this past November, giving the ’Noles the State Champs title for the fi rst time since 1999 and limiting the Gators to a mere 64 pass yards and four turnovers. The ’Noles’ victory over the Gators marked the fi rst since 2003. ‘Our No. 1 goal was getting to the ACC Championship Game and being ACC champs, and right behind that was beating Florida,’ Quarterback Christian Ponder said. ‘To get both of those in one night was pretty special.’

’COCKS BLOCKEDReid Compton/FSView

FSU football defeated the South Carolina Gamecocks 26-17 in the Chick-fi l-A Bowl this past December, winning 10 games in a season for the fi rst time since 2003. The season also marked the fi rst for head coach Jimbo Fisher.

Joseph La Belle/FSViewPresident Barron announced that FSU students can expect a 15 percent raise in tuition each year for the next four years in order to maintain FSU’s standard of education. This, in addition to several more state budget cuts to education, has had students, workers and legislators alike storming the Capitol building in protest almost daily.

Joseph La Belle/FSViewCelebrated poet and author Maya Angelou spoke at Florida A&M University on Jan. 26, saying, ‘In the worst of times, in the meanest of times, in the most threatening of times, there is a possibility of seeing light—I wanted to come to FAMU because this place is a light in the clouds, a rainbow in the clouds.’

Joseph La Belle/FSViewOver 1,300 FSU students stood and danced for 40 hours at the 16th annual Dance Marathon to raise a total of $486,927 for the Children’s Miracle Network, Shands Children Hospital and Florida State University’s College of Medicine. Students volunteered to stand for one of two shifts of 20 hours. This year, Zeta Beta Tau, Phi Mu and Chi Phi won the competition.

Brian Vallejo/FSView Japan experienced an 8.9-magnitude earthquake this past March, its most pow-erful earthquake on record. The quake gen-erated a devastating tsunami and claimed over 14,300 lives. The FSView featured stories chronicling student and faculty ex-periences from the disaster, including FSU student Mallory Taylor, who was in an ex-change program with the Miyagi University of Education in Sendai at the time of the tsunami, and FSU Business Professor Gary Knight, who was just south of Tokyo.

Joseph La Belle/FSViewFSU basketball beat out Notre Dame, 71-57, to advance to their fi rst NCAA Sweet 16 in 18 years. The ’Noles would, however, soon be ousted from the tournament in a heart-breaker loss to Virginia Commonwealth University with 7.1 seconds left in overtime.

Reid Compton/FSViewGov. Scott signed State Senate Bill 736 into law, which will produce merit pay for teachers and end tenure for newly hired employees. The bill has proven to be heav-ily divicive, particularly amongst Florida’s students. ‘As students, what’s not to worry about it?’ said Patrick Shepherd, FSU student and di-rector of the Center for Participant Educa-tion. ‘This is our country and we’re going to be the ones running it soon, and I want it to look better when I get there.’

Riley Shaaber/FSViewActor Danny McBride and director David Gordon Green of the fi lm Your Highness visited FSU, signing posters and shaking hands with students at the Integration Statue, as well as hosting an advance screening of the fi lm and sitting down for an exclusive interview with the FSView’s own Renee Rodriguez. How would McBride describe Your Highness? ‘F***ing super badass.’

KARLANNA LEWISStaff Writer

Tallahassee may not be as big as Hollywood, but at the 32nd An-nual College Television Awards, Florida State University’s College of Motion Picture Arts bested all other schools nationwide with four titles, including a rare humanitarian award.

The 2010 MFA gradu-ates who worked on the winning films flew out to California for the ceremony. Awards were given to the musi-cal Underground, the comedy Waking Eloise and the children’s film The Planeteer.

Jaye Davidson, pro-ducer of The Planeteer, saw the potential of the film from the first time she read Director Clay Hassler’s script.

“The film is about an 11-year-old boy named Bradley McGuire, who is a boy genius,” Davidson said. “In his spare time, he’s an avid astronomer. He builds an elaborate, accurate model of the solar system, takes it to his school science fair, and he loses. He’s really depressed until he sees NASA has lost contact with a shuttle from Mars. He looks through his pictures, and he has a photo from the exact moment the shuttle disappeared. He figures it out with his imagination. You get to go inside his head as he imagines himself in space, imagines himself as the astronauts.”

Each of the winning films was one of 17 thesis films students collaborated on last se-mester. All were shot within seven days, with only a week of prepara-tion and a few weeks of post-production edit-ing.

Even though David-son felt enthusiastic about the project, which was named Outstanding Children’s Program, the fact that film is subject to the whim of the audi-ence, success is never a sure thing.

“There’s an incredible amount of imagination that [Clay] put in there,” Davidson said. “There are a lot of people who were excited about the project because it taps into your inner space camp nerd. If you were ever a kid who liked to study space, it’s a very relatable story. I think it has a lot of heart, I think it has high produc-tion values. I’ve seen a lot of films that don’t really capture what it’s like to be a kid. They dumb down kids. The Planeteer has a kid being the hero, and his imagination is the star of the story.”

Waking Eloise, which received second place in the comedy category, is the humor-ous tale of a romantic photographer who calls on a voodoo master to bring back his deceased girlfriend. To create the hilarious storyline, many hands and beaks were necessary.

“Although I served as

producer and was the ‘name’ on the trophy, I was but one of many, many people who made this film happen,” said Chris Holcomb, produc-er of Waking Eloise. “Production involved both snakes and chick-ens, which meant a lot of preparation and paper-work to ensure that the animals were treated hu-manely. I assumed that the biggest challenge for me would be finding a one-legged chicken. Without that hen, Wak-ing Eloise would have lacked an essential, if not offbeat part of the story.”

Underground, a musi-cal rendition of a family’s journey on the Under-ground Railroad, won an award for its music, and the special humanitarian award.

“I liked Waking Elo-ise,” said Victor Nunez, FSU film professor. “It’s very funny, and unex-pected. Underground

Railroad was beautiful-ly done. It also received a humanitarian award, which is something they don’t give every year.”

Though four films won awards, FSU submitted 12. Brenda Mills, the film school administra-tor responsible for fes-tival placement, said she found it hard to decide which films to send for-ward.

“We win one almost ev-ery year, so the real sur-prise this year was that we won four, and three of them were first place,” Mills said. “So that was a really nice surprise, but at the same time it wasn’t really a surprise, because the films are great. Underground is kind of amazing, because it’s about slaves, but it’s a drama, with music. My problem has been choos-ing which ones to send and which ones not to send because there are so many good ones.”

With faculty and staff

like Mills working be-hind the scenes, students can concentrate on their production.

“What many students don’t realize is that we have a staff person work-ing full-time, placing these films in festivals, so all they have to do is make the film, which is, of course, a big deal,” said Nunez.

For the students, win-ning awards like those bestowed by the Acade-my of College Television Awards offer an advan-tage when they look for jobs in the industry. For FSU, the honor means that the program will continue to be one of the most highly regarded in the country.

“Both undergraduate and graduate students are represented,” Nunez said. “It’s a reflection of the quality of the pro-gram and the talent of the students. Needless to say, it’s very impres-sive.”

CHAD SQUITIERIContributing Writer

“Chuck it for Charity,” a student move-out collec-tion drive, is making use of what may have otherwise been thrown to the curb on garbage day. The drive aims to collect items that students tend to get rid of when it comes time to move out of their dorms, apartments and other liv-ing arrangements and to put them to good use.

All the collected mate-rial is sorted and distribut-ed throughout Tallahassee community agencies in

support of their work and the people they help.

Items on the list target-ed for the drive include: unopened non-perishable food, books, clothes, toi-letries, school supplies, cleaning supplies, bi-cycles, room decor, and housewares. The idea is that, while students are cleaning out their homes and fi nd themselves with an excess of things they don’t feel the need to pack up and move, they can do-nate those goods so they can be appreciated by oth-ers throughout the com-munity, instead of going to

waste.“I think the charity is

an awesome idea,” said Brad Stephens, a sopho-more accounting major at Florida State University. “I know just from my apart-ment alone, which has four people living in it, we have a lot of stuff that we planned on just piling up and throwing away. Most of us are going home for the summer before our new leases start and it just isn’t practical to bring boxes of things you prob-ably aren’t going to use anyway. The ‘Chuck it for Charity’ drive capitalizes

on that and helps out the community by doing so.”

Students looking to drop off items can do so at a number of locations in and around campus. All of the residence halls have a location for drop-off as well as several Greek houses. The Dunlap building, Bridge Lounge in Oglesby Union, and Gate M at Doak Campbell Sta-dium have areas for col-lections, as well. Students looking for off-campus lo-cations can drop off their items at Alumni Village and the Hillel & Wesley Foundation on Jefferson

Street.“Chuck it for Charity”

is put on by FSU Sustain-able Campus Initiative, a group that began in 2004 with the FSU Collection and Recycling Program. FSU Sustainable Campus Initiative is now steered by the Strategic Planning Group, which has the goal of educating the campus community about sustain-ability as well as continu-ing to look for opportuni-ties to make sustainability more mainstream at FSU.

According to the Fa-cebook event page for ‘Chuck it for Charity,’ the

drive has already man-aged to collect just short of 3,000 pounds of items in the fi rst three days alone. The goal set for the drive is to collect 30,000 pounds of donated items.

Volunteers are needed to help with collections, and students are invited to help out.

Anyone interested in volunteering should visit sustainablecampus.fsu.edu for contact informa-tion. The website also contains a complete list of items accepted for do-nation, as well as drop-off locations.

Environmental issues draw students to new

degree program

Florida State Univer-sity junior Michael Fun-dora thought he wanted to study advertising until he realized his heart was really in the sciences. Now he’s working to-ward a bachelor’s degree in environmental science offered by Florida State’s new Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmo-spheric Science (EOAS).

Just a few days be-fore Earth Day –– which marks the one-year anni-versary of EOAS and its two newest bachelor’s degrees––a B.S. in envi-ronmental science and a B.A. in environmental science and policy–– Fundora studied peat and mud samples from Tate’s Hell Swamp, a remote fl atlands and swamp that stretches from the low-er Apalachicola to the

Ochlockonee rivers in Northwest Florida.

Florida State’s two new environmental sci-ence degrees have prov-en so popular that 70 students so far have de-clared the B.A. as their major and 82 students have declared the B.S. their major. That number has since doubled with a total of 310 students admitted to both pro-grams for the 2011-2012 academic year, accord-ing to Jeff Chanton, the John W. Winchester Pro-fessor of Oceanography, who helped launch the environmental science degree programs within EOAS.

EOAS combines the former departments of meteorology, oceanogra-phy and geological sci-ences into one unit in the College of Arts and Sciences, and refl ects a national trend toward interdisciplinary envi-

ronmental science pro-grams. It also creates job-focused degree pro-grams for students and more opportunities for collaborative research in emerging areas. Chanton believes that a growing interest in environmen-tal issues as well as the availability of jobs in the fi eld is fueling student interest in these new en-vironmental degree pro-grams, which integrate a mix of physics, chemis-try, biology and geology.

Garnet and Gold Scholar Society

inducts first members

At Florida State Uni-versity, being engaged in various activities out-side of the classroom is a pursuit in which a growing number of stu-dents choose to invest themselves. The Garnet and Gold Scholar Society formalizes that pursuit and helps to further en-shrine it into the campus culture. It recognizes students who participate in three out of fi ve areas

of engagement — leader-ship, internship, service, international experience or research. On the eve-ning of April 21, President Eric J. Barron lauded the inaugural class of 31 Gar-net and Gold Scholar So-ciety members during an induction ceremony at the President’s House.

Vice President for Stu-dent Affairs Mary Coburn praised the students not only for their engagement in the university commu-nity, but also their com-mitment to representing Florida State around the world.

The ceremony included the lighting of seven can-dles. The fi rst signifi ed the birth of the Garnet and Gold Scholar Soci-ety. There was one rep-resenting each of the fi ve areas of engagement. The fi nal candle represented how the three areas of engagement will inform students’ post-collegiate plans. The event also featured each student reading an excerpt from a statement they were required to write about

TURNER COWLESSenior Staff Writer

President Obama’s chief military adviser, Chair-man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mul-len of the U.S. Navy will be speaking at Florida State University’s morn-ing commencement cer-emony on Saturday, April 30. Other speakers in-clude FOX News Channel DePuy Bream at Friday’s 7:30 p.m. commencement and Florida Supreme Court Justice Raoul Can-tero at Saturday’s 2 p.m. commencement.

Graduating senior RJ Aguiar expressed his ex-citement about the deci-sion to have Mullen speak at commencement.

“I think universities are always going to try to get the most reputable and news-worthy speakers that they can for their commencement exercis-es,” said Aguiar. “It’s one of the many ways that the university tries to show off its infl uence to stu-dents, parents and alum-ni. They’re essentially looking to raise as many eyebrows as possible.”

Senior Ivri Winn admit-ted to not fully knowing who Mullen is, but said that she hopes the speech remains relatively gener-al.

“I don’t want to have to sit and listen to him talk about war or anything po-litical,” said Winn. “I want him to be like, ‘Good luck with your life and get out of here,’ or something like that—something short and simple.”

Mullen has been chair-man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff since October 2007. He was appointed under President George W. Bush and continued for a second term under

President Obama. Mullen was a staunch supporter of Obama’s decision to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”

Aguiar said that thinks Mullen will be a great speaker.

“I’m actually pretty ex-cited about having the admiral come and speak, since I greatly admire his actions as chairman, es-pecially when it came to the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ ” said Aguiar. “I feel like he is a great speaker to have with this current social, political, and economic climate, since he will likely have a great deal of eloquent ways to present said cli-mate in a realistic but still optimistic way.”

Winn said she hopes that the speech avoids national and internation-al politics.

“I don’t want to hear about war or politics on my graduation day,” said Winn. “I’d really like for our boys to come home, but I don’t think [...] our graduation will re-ally make a difference in when they come back.”

Aguiar also said he hopes to hear a mes-sage about the future; he doesn’t necessarily want to hear about the politics of war.

“As a person about to enter into one of the most unstable and hostile job markets in recent memo-ry, I want to know exactly what the young people of today can do to fi x our current situation and what kind of hope exists for the future,” said Agu-iar. “I’d also like for him to stress the importance of integrity, since his own integrity is something for which I admire him greatly.”

ceremony, Aguiar said he sees it as a time to re-fl ect.

“Most people see it as a ceremony that closes one chapter of your life

and opens another,” Aguiar continued. “To me, though, it’s a little bit simpler than that. I spent practically my entire ca-reer as an undergrad run-

ning around doing proj-ects, essays, volunteer projects, extracurricular [activities] and so on.

“I will likely spend the majority of my actual ca-

reer being just as busy. I think of graduation as a few hours when you can just sit down and say to yourself, ‘This is happen-ing.’ ”

While all good things come to an end, it’s better to leave knowing you have gotten the full experi-ence. Thus, we present the FSView & Florida Flambeau’s Tallahassee Bucket List. Whether you’re on your way out or sticking around, here are a few things to see and do while you’re still in Tallahassee, before your college career kicks the bucket.

Fleet Foxes’ self-titled debut LP/EP combo found a lot of its success in its ability to be both nostalgi-cally familiar, but almost impossible to place specifi -cally, geographically or by way of music history, like a smell that vividly brings with it the entirety of your childhood, before it’s lost again and you’re left won-dering what that smell was in the fi rst place. Fleet Foxes sounded like some seamless, timeless amal-gamation of American mu-sic, from The Beach Boys

to the hymnals under your seats, and somehow, that worked.

On their second album, Helplessness Blues, Fleet Foxes retain the sound that was so overplayed by anyone who bought their record three years ago, but their infl uences and throwbacks are more eas-ily identifi able—frontman and lead vocalist Robin Pecknold will sometimes beat you over the head with them. His band has been compared to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young since the fi rst time they harmo-nized over a chorus, yet now, songs like “Battery Kinzie” and “Sim Sala Bim” can sound so ’60s/’70s pop rock it hurts sometimes (in a good way, generally), and lead single “Helplessness Blues” makes few attempts to sound like anything but

the inverted hymn that it is.

Here’s where you can know whether you’ll like Helplessness Blues or not: Upon fi rst listen, after a few tracks, I had the thought, “Fleet Foxes just put out another killer record,” fol-lowed immediately by the thought, “My dad would really like this album.” Col-lege students like to throw around the term “dad-rock” a lot to describe anything ranging from James Taylor to Huey Lewis and the News to The National. But, hon-estly, if Helplessness Blues were any more straightfor-ward dad-rock, it would go to classic car showcases in fast-food parking lots and tell you how much it loves you on Facebook. I don’t think anyone should give up on Helplessness Blues just based off that, but if

you can’t get past the sheer amount dad-rock present here, I couldn’t blame you.

In that case, though, you would be missing out on some stellar songwriting, because the much-hyped Fleet Foxes have done pretty much exactly what they needed to do for a sophomore album: kept their signature sound while expanding upon it just enough to be noticeably different. Most instantly recognizable is that Pec-knold has removed the from-the-mountaintop vo-cal reverb that was literally all over Fleet Foxes. Here, the lead vocals are mostly simple and front-and-cen-ter, a small gesture that ends up making a world of sonic difference. A song like the record’s closer, “Grown Ocean” (which is, for my money, one of the

best songs to come out this year so far), is everything Fleet Foxes can do well in one wildly joyous culmi-nation that seems to fl y us around the world and back in one four-and-a-half-min-ute song.

They can’t all be “Grown Ocean,” though—as with their debut, Helpless-ness Blues has its share of uncomplicated fi ller songs about which I don’t have much to say beyond “They’re pretty.” But, when

those songs are as pretty as these, this is still say-ing a lot. Ditties like “Blue Spotted Tail” and “Bedouin Dress” are downright emo-tionally arresting, and the eight-minute “The Shrine/ An Argument” starts as a fairly predictable Fleet Fox-es song, turns quiet and re-fl ective and then explodes into a freeform cacophony of sounds, complete with an Ornette Coleman-style free-jazz saxophone freak-out.

Helplessness Blues isn’t a perfect record by any stretch, and the limits of Fleet Foxes’ trademark sound are still apparent with prolonged exposure. Yet they’ve released an-other immediately compel-ling and pleasant singalong record, and I’ll be the last person to fault Fleet Foxes for that.

Unfortunately, the time has come for my short-lived, yet to-tally awesome job as the FSView & Florida Flambeau’s video game writer to come to an end. While I’m sure many out there are wondering where their Por-tal 2 review is, I’ve decided in-stead to reward my “Extra Life” readers with the opportunity to own some fantastic games for as low as a penny. Besides, does anyone really need a review to tell them how awesome Portal 2 is at this point?

The Humble Indie Bundles, founded by indie developer Wol-fi re Games, are collections of indie games made available for purchase under a very simple pay-what-you-want system, a system made famous by Radio-head’s release of In Rainbows back in 2007. And these aren’t your awful Xbox Live-esque

indie games either; these are honest-to-goodness, critically acclaimed, quality games, in-cluding some recognizable games such as the addictive puzzler World of Goo and revolutionary time-manipula-tion platformer Braid. Each of these bundles has offered over $50 worth of games, a pretty substantial value, for the price of one’s choosing.

As if this weren’t enough, there are a few other factors involved in the bundles that help sweeten this already sac-charin deal. Almost all of the games run on Windows, Mac and even Linux, which means that this deal applies to basi-cally anyone with a computer, and a purchase even includes a code which allows redemption on Steam, Desura and OnLive if that’s more convenient than simply downloading the games off the email sent immediately after purchase. The bundles also don’t use any pesky Digi-tal Rights Management (DRM) controls, which means custom-ers can download them as many

times as they want without any time limit after purchase, make backups, and download them onto any and as many comput-ers as they want. Some games even include source codes, for all of you hackers, modders and wannabe developers out there.

Still don’t think that Wolfi re Games is a collection of what seems to be the nicest people in the world? One of the more notable features of buying a Humble Bundle is the ability to bypass any middlemen, such as publishers, and decide how cus-tomers want their hard-earned money distributed amongst a handful of worthy candidates, which includes the developers of the games themselves, the Child’s Play charity that helps

donate games to sick kids in hospitals, the Electronic Fron-tier Foundation (EFF) that de-fends the rights of the people when it comes to technology and digital rights battles (in-cluding you) and, of course, buyers can tip the makers of the Humble Bundle in appre-ciation for what they’ve done.

The fi rst Humble Bundle was released in May of 2010, and there have been three of them in total, including the Humble Fro-zenbyte Bundle, which was re-leased on April 12, and is hope-fully still available at the time this article is published, since these offers are only available for a limited time. Having said that, it seems as though a new Humble Bundle is released ev-ery few months, so it wouldn’t hurt to register an email on their site in order to be notifi ed of all future offers.

The Humble Frozenbyte Bun-dle, as the name implies, differs from the past Humble Bundles in that it features games devel-oped exclusively by developer Frozenbyte. Purchasers will

receive the alien shoot ‘em up Shadowgrounds, its sequel Shadowgrounds Survivor, and beautiful puzzle platformer Trine. The bundle also includes a playable version and source code for the unfi nished game, Jack Claw, in which players control the Doc Ock-like Jack as he uses his mechanical ten-tacles to cause destruction, as well as a pre-order for the up-coming game Splot, which will be added to the bundle upon completion.

Again, I apologize if the Humble Frozenbyte Bundle is unavailable by the time this is published; the bundles are re-leased immediately and seem-ingly out of nowhere and it’s near impossible to predict when they’ll drop, but giving them an email at www.humblebundle.com is the best way to ensure awareness of availability and get some splendid games in the near future.

And on that note, I hope that everyone enjoyed reading “Ex-tra Life” as much as I enjoyed writing it. Happy gaming!

The No. 8 Florida State baseball team will put its season-best, seven-game win-ning streak to the test this weekend, as the Seminoles face off with No. 16 Miami in Coral Gables.

Florida State (31-10, 14-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) comes into the weekend on a hot streak, fresh off sweeps of Florida Gulf Coast and Duke over the past week.

With its series sweep of Duke this past week-end, the Seminoles re-corded their first series sweep in conference play since sweeping Boston College in early March.

The Hurricanes (27-13, 15-5) enter their showdown with the Seminoles on a streak of their own.

Although the ’Canes dropped a game on Sunday at No. 18 North Carolina, they have won 13 of their last 15 contests and currently sit in third place in the ACC’s Coastal Divi-sion.

Miami will face the task of slowing down a Seminole offense that has been scorch-ing over the course of FSU’s current winning streak.

In their current sev-en-game tear, the ’Noles have scored a total of 77 runs (11 runs per game) off of 87 hits.

A big reason for the Seminoles’ recent of-

fensive success is the continued outstanding play of junior outfield-er James Ramsey.

Ramsey has notched a hit for FSU in 19 con-secutive games—the longest such streak in the ACC this season.

Even in the midst of such an impressive streak, Ramsey re-mains focused on the bigger picture heading into the final stretch of the regular season.

“That seven [game winning streak] we’ve got going is the only one I’m concerned about,” Ramsey said. “I just try to go out there every day and help this team win in any capac-ity I can.”

Ramsey isn’t the only Seminole streaking at the plate.

Third baseman Sher-man Johnson has start-ed a hit streak of his own and has now re-corded a hit in 12 con-secutive games.

Despite their recent explosion, expect the FSU bats to be tested in Coral Gables come Friday night.

The Miami pitch-ing staff will pose a stiff challenge for the ’Noles, having surren-dered an average of just 4.5 runs per game over the last 15 outings.

The Florida State pitching staff brings its own brand of heat to the mound in the form of junior Sean Gilmar-tin.

FSVIEW & FLORIDA FLAMBEAU WIRE REPORT

Amy Bond, who is in her fi rst season as Flor-ida State’s head coach, has led the Seminole women’s golf team back to the NCAA Tournament and will lead her team into the NCAA East Re-gional Championship on the Champions Course at LPGA International in Daytona Beach. May 5-7. The Seminoles were selected to participate in the 72-team tourna-ment Monday marking the sixth consecutive year, 10th in the last 11 seasons and 18th in the last 21 seasons the Semi-noles will play in the NCAA Championship.

For Bond it marks the fi rst time she has guided a team to the NCAA Championship in fi ve seasons as a head coach.

“This is a great day for our program because it means that we are continuing to move for-ward,” said Bond. “It’s a good thing that our players are used to play-ing for Florida State in the month of May; this is something they look forward to and work hard for all season long. Our girls are looking for-ward to playing well and

advancing to the cham-pionship fi nals at Texas A&M.”

A total of 72 teams and 18 individual will com-pete in three regionals for the right to advance to the national champi-onship fi nals at the tra-ditions Club in College Station, Texas, May 18-21. The national cham-pionships will feature 24 teams and six individu-als. The top eight teams in each regional and the top two individuals not on the qualifying teams will advance to compete in the championship fi -nals.

The Seminoles are ranked No. 29 in the lat-est national ranking by GolfStat and GolfWeek Magazine. The Semi-noles have been ranked inside the nation’s top 30 teams throughout the fall and spring seasons. The Seminoles are one of fi ve teams from the ACC ranked in the nation’s top 30 teams in the na-tion and fi nished in fi fth place in the ACC Cham-pionship in April. The ACC is generally consid-ered to be the toughest conference for women’s golf in the nation.

Florida State fi nished in a 10th place at the na-tional championship fi -nals in 2011—the highest national fi nish in school

history—after fi nishing in a tie for sixth place in the NCAA Central Re-gional championships last season.

Florida State has fi n-ished in the top three in the team standings in three of their six tour-naments this spring. The Seminoles fi nished in second place at the Lady Gator Invitation-al, in third place at the Lady Puerto Rico Clas-sic and in fourth place at the Kinderlou Forest Challenge. To illustrate the strength of the ACC, the Seminoles are one of eight schools in the league to have earned either a fi rst or second place team fi nish this year.

Florida State is led by senior Maria Salinas (Lima, Peru) and junior Hannah Thomson (Perth, Australia) who have fi n-ished as the Seminoles top golfer in eight of the Seminoles’ nine tourna-ments this year. Salinas is ranked ninth in the ACC with a career low 74.21 stroke average and a best fi nish of second at the Lady Puerto Rico Classic. Thomson is ranked 12th in the ACC with a career low 75.00 stroke average. Thomson

It’s no exaggeration when experts consider the current talent of the NBA to be at its deepest level in league history. The par-ity of great players is so extreme, and the level of competition so equal, that with teams like Memphis and New Orleans, the term “bracket-buster” is actual-ly edging its way from the NCAA Tournament to the

NBA playoffs. Without further ado,

here’s a look into what transpired in the fi rst-round matchups, and what it all means moving forward:

Boston vs. New York

This series could have gone far differently, con-sidering Boston’s two opening wins were mostly attributed to a bogus of-fensive foul call in Game

Major League Soccer announced this past week that the promotion-relega-tion system that the rest of the world’s leagues use is, in the words of MLS presi-dent Mark Abbott, “not something we’re looking at,” thus fi rmly entrench-ing the MLS as the ever-little brother of the rest of the world.

If you’re not familiar with the way, say, Eng-land’s Premier League or Italy’s Serie A operates, here’s the rundown for you: a specifi c amount of teams exist in the league’s top fl ight. The top teams qualify for other compe-titions in Europe while teams in the lower three spots are “relegated” to lower leagues that are as-sociated with the top fl ight through a country-wide soccer delegation.

The countrywide soccer delegation (in England’s case, the FA) also holds a nationwide club com-petition that includes all clubs from all levels, from the largest teams in cities like London and Liverpool all the way down to local amateur squads in the tini-est of villages.

This all-inclusive ap-proach creates a nation-wide appetite for the beau-tiful game, something the MLS claims to be trying to foster here in the United States, yet they continue to refuse tried-and-true methods that have made soccer the booming busi-ness it is in Europe and the rest of the world.

So how can the MLS grow their business and soccer as a whole here in the U.S.? Strap on your boots and put on your fa-vorite team’s kit—it’s time to save soccer in the U.S.

First and foremost, the U.S. Soccer Federation needs to affi liate with more of the leagues al-ready in existence in the U.S. Only two of the six do-mestic leagues in the U.S. are affi liated with the U.S. Soccer Federation (Major League Soccer and the United Soccer Leagues), and there’s really no rea-son why the Federation shouldn’t invite everyone else on board.

Once U.S. Soccer gets affi liation from all the do-mestic leagues, the insti-tution of the promotion-relegation system would be a cinch, and clubs would have the opportuni-ty to sprout up all around the nation. Many cities already have local soccer clubs, but no professional affi liation, and making the leap from youth club to pro squad would be as simple as retaining your talent from your younger squads.

Soccer is unique in that its fans are absolutely ravenous at almost every level of competition, and if clubs were allowed to grow in grassroots places like a Tallahassee or a Jacksonville with even a sliver of a chance to com-pete in the top fl ight, fans would eat this right up.

needs to cherry-pick an-other strategy from the foreign leagues: no sal-ary cap.

The reason that teams in other domestic leagues are able to launch them-selves to the top of the table is that they can buy their way there, generat-ing interest and excite-ment for the individual teams and the league it-self.

MLS right now has the lukewarm “Designated Player Rule,” or as it is more commonly known, the “Beckham Rule.” This allows MLS teams to break the bank on one player, but stay below the cap with everyone else.

Why limit yourself in this way? America is the king of giant sports con-tracts, so why not allow American investors to break the bank on inter-national stars? If Ronny Turiaf can squeeze $4 million a year out of the NBA’s New York Knicks, certainly someone in the MLS would be “fool-ish” enough to pay for a Drogba or a Suarez.

The current trend for big American check-books is to invest in English Premier League teams, with, most recent-ly, a group headed by Red Sox owner John Henry buying a majority stake in EPL team Liverpool. If you take the cap off of the MLS, it wouldn’t be diffi cult to keep that money here in the U.S.

Finally, the MLS needs to revive classic fran-chises like the New York

What is most frustrating about the MLS is that they complain that they don’t have the fan support to make these groundbreak-ing moves, but the solu-tions are right in front of their faces, and the claim that they can’t fi gure it out is weak because it has al-ready been done and with lucrative results. Institute these changes and every-thing else will fall into place.

Florida dismisses

CB Jenkins

Florida senior corner-back Janoris Jenkins was dismissed from the team Tuesday following a second drug-related arrest in the last three months.

Jenkins, who was a first team All-South-eastern Conference selection this past sea-son, was dismissed af-ter speaking with head

coach Will Muschamp. The first-year coach made the announce-ment via Twitter shortly after his talk with Jen-kins.

“After meeting with Janoris Jenkins today, we both feel it was in his best interest to move ahead to the next stage of his career,” Muschamp said. “We ap-preciate Janoris’ contri-butions to the Universi-ty of Florida during his time here and wish him the best of luck.

Jenkins was arrested

SPORTSBRIEFS early Saturday morn-ing and charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession. Gainesville police said they found a marijuana-filled cigar in a vehicle Jenkins was sit-ting in at a parking lot in downtown Gainesville.

Jenkins received the charge back on Jan. 24, when police found him with less than two grams

of marijuana in the bath-room of a Gainesville nightclub. Jenkins ac-cepted a plea deal and was required to pay court costs of $316.

Jenkins also had a run-in with the law in June 2009, when he was charged with misde-meanor affray after be-ing involved in a fight and fleeing from police.

He was placed on six months’ probation as a result.

A three-year starter, Jenkins was projected to be a first-round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, but opted to stay for his senior year at Florida. Jenkins finished his Florida career with eight total interceptions.

NBA from 11

1, and then, in Game 2, with the Knicks down one point in their fi nal possession, Carmelo Anthony hit a petrifi ed Jared Jeffries, who was wide open under the bas-ket, who sniffed a lurk-ing Kevin Garnett and threw the ball away. Bos-ton then sandblasted an injured Knicks team in Madison Squre Garden, as the Garden brings out the best in every player aside from those on the Knicks.

I’m still not buying the “Boston-is-back” hype, and for several reasons: Jermaine O’Neal cannot possibly play at this lev-el—nor stay healthy—for an entire championship run, the Knicks were over-hyped and the cali-ber of Boston’s current bench in Jeff Green, De-lonte West and Glen Da-vis is light years behind that of last year’s bench players: Nate Robinson, Davis, Rasheed Wallace and Tony Allen.

Miami vs. Philadel-

phia

Philadelphia has a promising future, and they had some bright mo-ments in this series. But, in all honesty, this series was a tuneup for...

Boston vs. Miami, which could be the most emotional, grue-some, leave-it-all-on-the-fl oor matchup the second round has ever seen. Aside from reasons aforementioned, Miami gets the edge in seven games mostly because (A) their transition game is moving at lightspeed, (B) LeBron James and Dwyane Wade will attack the Kendrick Perkins-free lane at will, and (C) Chris Bosh is still car-rying his Home Alone-like “I’m-not-afraid-any-more!” high from Miami’s win over the Lakers last March.

Miami’s undoing, how-ever, lies in how they handle a tight fourth quarter. As evidenced by LeBron’s whiff in their Game 4 loss, it should go without question that Wade gets the ball when the game is close. He’s one of the game’s best closers, and he’s notori-ous for torching Boston. If LeBron can accept this, Miami should be cruising to Chicago and then maybe beyond.

Orlando vs. Atlanta

Aside from some wild Jamal Crawford baskets, the Hawks’ key in their series lead is coach Larry Drew’s ability to exploit the Magic’s glaring vul-nerability: Since Orlando

lives and dies with the 3-point shot, Drew de-cided to single on Dwight Howard and close out Orlando’s shooters. The Hawks’ quick and lengthy defenders did just that, limiting Orlando to 21.8 percent shooting from 3-point range through the fi rst four games. If you take out the 3-ball, you take out the Magic, re-gardless of what Howard does.

Orlando moved the ball well on Tuesday, though, going 11-for-26 from downtown in a 25-point win. A statement win like that against a rather un-disciplined Hawks team can be enough to push them for two more wins. Chicago still takes them by six in round two.

Sidenote: if Howard is this year’s MVP, explain how he had just eight points in their most im-portant playoff game thus far? That would never happen in Chicago.

Chicago vs. Indiana

The Pacers gave their all, and they made a close series out of what should have been a blowout (they had fourth-quarter leads in every game except Game 5).

Credit Pacers coach Frank Vogel, as his well-schemed traps on Der-rick Rose forced Chicago into quicker sets and thus forced ill-advised shots. This is a bullet-point mov-ing forward, as it greatly frustrated Rose and could work for other teams with quick backcourts (e.g., Miami).

As incredible as Rose is, it’s still hard to advance in general when you’re a team with only one player who can create shots.

Grizzlies vs. Spurs

The Spurs’ ship has sailed, and it’s downright depressing to watch. Tim Duncan is decomposing by the minute; Manu Gi-nobili cannot fully recov-er from an elbow injury; Tony Parker is being out-

played by Mike Conley; and Greg Popovich has never looked so fl ustered on the sideline.

Meanwhile, Memphis coach Lionel Hollins—the NBA’s closest semblance of a Rex Ryan—has his team under the genuine belief that they can win the Western Conference. The Grizzlies are gaining confi dence and swagger with each game. Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph are violent in the paint, and the destructive de-fense of Tony Allen and Shane Battier seem to be a scorer’s worst night-mare. Memphis can’t get by Oklahoma City or Los Angeles, but they’ll defi -nitely bruise them up.

Thunder vs. Nuggets

Trouble is lurking for the Thunder. For some bizarre reason, Russell Westbrook is under the impression that he’s a better scorer than Kevin Durant. In Game 4, Du-rant had just hit a huge 3-pointer, and OKC was down by two points with 29 seconds left. West-brook, who was 0-for-7 from downtown, brought the ball up, launched an air-ball, and the Thunder eventually lost.

Allegedly, Westbrook and Durant got in a yelling match during a Thunder timeout. This tension shouldn’t be over-analyzed, but it must be cleared before the second round for them to make a run.

Sidenote: Westbrook fi nished that game with 30 shots, Durant with 18. That should never, ever happen.

Dallas vs. Portland

Fan-favorite Brandon Roy—a knee-less, fallen superstar who was quot-ed as being “on the verge of tears” after his lack of playing time—viciously leads a Blazers’ 23-point second-half comeback, including his 18 points in a fourth quarter where he couldn’t miss a shot,

and evens the series on his home court. It was as great a sports moment as any, but it’s relatively futile in that the winner of this series should lose to the Lakers.

Los Angeles vs. New

Orleans

In Game 4, Kobe passed to a wide-open but unsus-pecting Pau Gasol, who juggled and then fumbled the ball out of bounds. Sure enough, Gasol got hit with Bryant’s look that he’s going to rip his head off, and Gasol looked like

he got the fear of God put into him. In the ensuing minutes, Gasol threw up several fl ailing hook-shots, got out-rebounded twice by 6-foot ‘point God’ Chris Paul, then capped the stretch with a frustration foul.

Gasol, who has looked lost at times this series, has been openly criticized by Bryant, which fl usters him and perhaps upsets Kobe even more. To win their third straight title, the Lak-ers’ top priority is for the chemistry between Gasol

and Bryant to be absolute-ly seamless, since they are the most vital parts to the team’s success.

The road to the Finals still runs through L.A., and, historically, this Lak-ers team gets better as the playoffs wage on. On a personal level, Bryant will do anything it takes to win, but he won’t sugar-coat Gasol. In the grand scheme of things, it’s not too hard a fi x, and we’ve seen them work it out be-fore. But then again, it is Kobe Bryant.

recipient of the Atlan-tic Coast Conference’s Wrestling Scholar-Ath-lete of the Year and spearheads the list of the All-ACC Academic Team, as announced by conference commis-sioner John Swofford on Tuesday. All six ACC schools that participate in varsity wrestling were represented on the team.

Of the 20 members, only 10 of them are making their first ap-pearance on the All-Ac-ademic team.

While John, a junior, has proved his worth in the classroom as a civil engineering major, he has also excelled

on the wrestling mat. John, a two-time All-ACC performer, finished this past season as the 15th-ranked wrestler nationally in the in the 157-pound weight class and led the way for the conference champion Terrapins with a 31-11 record. In matches de-cided by pins, he was a perfect 6-0.

John has made the Maryland Athletic Di-rector’s Honor Roll and Dean’s List in all five of his semesters at Maryland and is also a member of the school’s Student Athlete Advi-sory Council, where he served as an officer and was an active partici-

pant.Three Maryland team-

mates joined John on the All-Academic team, but it was Virginia who had the most members on the team with eight. Virginia Tech had the third-most wrestlers with three. Candidates are eligible to be on the team if their cumula-tive GPA is over 3.0 for their academic career, and they also must have over a 3.0 in their previ-ous two semesters.

“I’m very excited about this first sand volleyball signing class,” Poole said. “Aurora, Jeassica and Aurora are all three exceptional players, but more importantly, they are exceptional young ladies. They are among the very best in the na-tion as beach players and we are fortunate that they have made a commitment to Florida State University.”

Pelliteri was the cap-tain of her Pompano Beach High indoor team and earned second-team all-county performer. She began playing sand volleyball in the summer

of 2007 for the team Club Beach Dig and still plays for them.

McGregor comes to Florida State via Lake Sumter Community Col-lege, where she was a first-team All-Mid Flori-da Conference honoree on the indoor team. On the sand, McGregor led her teams to a total of five first-place finishes in various Dig the Beach tournaments in the coed open division in 2010.

She also helped her team to a first-place fin-ish at the Orlando Sports Complex in November of 2009 and was an AVPN-EXT Southeastern Zone champion a month be-fore then.

Cell phones today are probably that one piece of equipment most col-lege students couldn’t live without. We all have them, and many students have more advanced smartphones running An-droid/iOS/Blackberry. It’s pretty novel to think that the power from a full-sized desktop computer from a few years ago can be shrunk down into a palm-sized device today. They are a great alterna-tive to carrying around a full-sized laptop if all

that’s needed is basic Web browsing or social net-working. Society has got-ten more and more con-nected with each other, which is simultaneously incredible and a bit both-ersome. We can know so much about each other even before meeting for the fi rst time, but there exists, needless to say, a lot less privacy now than in years before.

Disregarding those im-plications, the big prob-lem with these electronic gadgets lately has been people using them at inap-propriate times. Since I’ve started attending classes here at Florida State four years ago, it seems as if more and more instruc-tors stipulate in their syl-labi that fi ddling with a

phone in class will result in some consequence. Usually it’s points off a participation grade or dis-missal from the room for the day. Instructors fi nd it distracting, and it’s under-standable, as the devices have become more com-plex and consequently have greatly expanded capabilities past being a phone. It isn’t like notes can be taken easily on a cell, though I’m sure that isn’t too far off into the future. Even with such course policies outlined, people still feel the need to text from their laps during most lectures I’ve attended, even with their peers getting called out on it. It’s an addiction to-ward being constantly connected.

Taking that addiction to the logical extreme, the absolute worst type of distraction with cell phones is texting while operating a vehicle. Tex-ting has been around for a long time, so it’s remark-able how quickly this be-havior has become com-monplace in recent years. It feels like it was fairly unheard of when I start-ed to learn how to drive. It’s rare now, when I ride along with someone, that I don’t notice another driver glancing down at his or her lap at stoplights, or sometimes even bla-tantly holding the phone up at the 12 o’clock posi-tion on the steering wheel heading down Tennessee Street. Thirty states have banned texting while driv-

ing, but Florida currently isn’t one of them. (Eight states along with Wash-ington, D.C., also ban even holding a phone—you have to use some sort of hands-free system.)

I really don’t under-stand why these folks risk the potential acci-dents. Are people really that fi xated with keeping in real-time contact at all times that they are willing to take their eyes off the road as their 3,000-plus-pound piece of machinery reels semi-blindly onward at 40 mph? One of my old-est friends is practically tethered at the hip to their Blackberry; they’re one of those who will hold it up by the steering wheel as they drive. The thing that confuses and frustrates

me most is that anyone I’ve ever called out has claimed that they know it’s bad to do. They can’t put the phone down even while doing something that inherently requires full concentration for the safety of others.

It’s distressing how much our culture holds value to having 24/7 ac-cess to each other. Not responding to another’s inquiry instantly in to-day’s world can be viewed as offensive by some, and that’s absurd in the grand scheme of things. We may live in a nation that is quickly advancing in technology and connect-edness, but it’s critical that we not lose sight of our common sense in the process.

Look at It This Way by Daniel Ackerman

CHAD SQUITIERIStaff Writer

With the fi nal days of spring semester 2011 drawing to an end, I fi nd it important to not only look at what the future holds, but examine what remains in the past. It is

never a good idea to live your life entirely in the past, but much can be learned from periodic moments of refl ection.

In my case, I fi nd myself with already two years of a Florida State University education under my belt. Half of my college experi-ence is complete. While I had a general idea of what my future would be like a little more than 700 days ago when my best friend and I made our trip to Tal-lahassee, I now realize the

reality of the situation has far surpassed my expec-tations. The experiences these past two years have provided me with have been nothing less than amazing, the education I have been blessed with has been nothing less than fascinating, and the friendships I have made

can be described with nothing less than love.

As I look toward my future, I was once fi nd myself with a general understanding of where it might take me, but un-like the fresh high-school graduate who arrived here such a short time ago, I now fi nd myself fi lled to the brim with the amazing understand-ing that the future is full of unknowns. The fact that none of us actually know what tomorrow holds is something that makes life so incredibly exciting. One of the most

important things I have already come to under-stand thanks to our uni-versity is that, in life, you must set your goals, sur-round yourself with those you care for the most, and never stop striving toward those goals until they are accomplished and new ones can be born again.

For many of you this is the end of your journey at Florida State, but more importantly the beginning of a new one elsewhere. For our graduating se-niors, I ask that you never forget the feeling of ex-

citement and motivation currently fl owing through your veins as you embark onto the next chapter of your life, that you always stay true to yourself and that you never settle for anything short of your goals. For my fellow re-turning Seminoles, I ask that you never take today for granted, while always preparing yourself for to-morrow. We have all been blessed with an amazing opportunity, and will for-ever be able to proudly call ourselves Florida State University Semi-noles.

ANUSREE GARGThe Lantern, Ohio State U. via UWIRE

Greg Mortensen, author of Three Cups of Tea—a memoir that has comfort-ably remained on The New York Times’ best-sellers list for the past 219 weeks—might be a phil-anthropic phony.

Last Sunday, 60 Minutesran an exposé on Mortens-en, blowing the whistle on his charity, his book and sullying his veracious reputation. 60 Minutes revealed that Mortensen’s

charity, the Central Asia Institute, “spends more money domestically pro-moting the importance of building schools in Afghanistan and Paki-stan than it does actually constructing and funding them overseas.” When vis-iting 30 of the 141 schools built under the auspices of Mortensen, 60 Minutesfound that half functioned reasonably well, but the other half were either poorly constructed, used as storage facilities, or even nonexistent.

The very plot of Mortens-

en’s book is dubious. Mortensen claimed that he was held for eight days by the Taliban; 60 Minuteswas able to track down a few of his supposed cap-tors who revealed that they were not kidnappers, rather they were his hosts and they were never part of the Taliban. One of his alleged captors is actually the director of a research tank in Pakistan. Clad in western business attire he refuted Mortensen’s asser-tion saying, “This is totally false, and he is lying.”

[...] Philanthropy is not

all peaches. All people, Sa-maritans or not, have their own interests.

[...] Fortunately, a few websites perform this measurement. Charity Navigator “works to ad-vance a more effi cient and responsive philanthropic marketplace” by analyz-ing the “fi nancial health” of more than 5,000 Ameri-can charities. It does this by sharing data on the ex-pense breakdown for the charity, rating its organiza-tional effi ciency, even dis-closing the charity’s total revenue and the salary of

the head director. Similar-ly, The American Institute of Philanthropy, a charity watchdog, ranks organi-zations based on their fi nancial performance de-termining how generous a charity truly is.

The Wall Street Journalrecently reported on char-ity scams involving the crisis in Japan. Fraudulent charities using heart-rend-ing language spammed the emails of benevolent souls. Donors took the bait and thousands of dol-lars went in the pockets of the unscrupulous mis-

creants, not to victims in dire need. Scams like this are completely avoidable. Donations are desired in a multitude of the world’s problem areas—a simple check can prevent the profi ts of charlatans and maximize the utility of each dollar by donating to only the most effi cient and altruistic charities.

[...] One must replace blind-giving with a realis-tic perspective. Reconsid-er where you give, don’t reconsider giving. Simply, remember Reagan’s catch-phrase, “trust, but verify.”

Reconsider where you give, don’t reconsider giving
