In Support of U of M’s Student Philanthropy Week, the University of Memphis Common Cents hosted two events—Wieners for Seniors and Decal Drive Thru—to raise

awareness for more proactive green initiatives on campus.

“We are trying to raise money for the Common Cents Green Space fund, which will help fund work for the University Center and scholarships,” Timothy McDonnell, coordinator for Annual Giving,

said. “We just want to raise aware-ness around campus about our student organizations, while also doing some good.”

Common Cents helped students ease into the week with free food, primarily hot dogs, at Wieners for Seniors Tuesday. While the

food was free of charge, students were encouraged to donate to the Common Cents Green Space fund, a student funded and driven proj-ect that plans on using the dona-tions to add a bench, tree and

The Fogelman College of Business and Economics hosted its annual Promise Day on Thursday.

The event, which was open to any business major at the University, con-sisted of a DJ performing throughout the festivities, free food, student orga-nizations and booths.

“Fogelman Promise Day is to remind students that we made a promise saying that we’re going to be good, ethical students, and that we’re trying to be everything you’d want in a good business student,” Clarissa Bossler, a sophomore international business and foreign language major, said. “Professors and faculty also make a promise to teach, help and sup-port their students to the best of their abilities.”

For co-founder and CFO of the recently formed International Business Student Organization, Alex Karimnia, the event was an important step in helping promote and showcase his new club, which he noted is one of the rea-sons this event was a great opportunity.

“In a nutshell this event is where all the organizations within Fogelman set up a booth and get the chance to tell the students what they’re all about,” Karimnia, junior

international business and foreign language major, said. “This is really our first chance to spread the word of what we’re trying to do. This event is really good for new organizations, as well as veteran ones.”

Professionalism, which Bossler refers to as business culture, consists of dining etiquette, professional attire, résumé building and many skills that

Facebook’s newest feature, an app called Nearby Friends, allows users to share their approximate or specific location and see how far away they are from other friends.

Rolled out by the social media giant Thursday, the real-time friend locator and meet-up tool is entirely optional, and, by default, is turned off in users’ accounts.

The new tool uses a smartphone’s GPS system to give a sharer’s loca-tion within a half mile.

As with other features added by Facebook, Nearby Friends won’t be available to everyone immediately.

Users like people who frequently check-in to restaurants and bars will be the first to receive the Facebook update. Others will notice the change in their accounts over the next couple of weeks.

While it is sure to spark privacy concerns, the feature will only be available to people on Facebook who claim to be over 18 years old. There is no option available to make the feature available to the public (users who are not in a person’s friend list). However, it does offer a filter option of sharing only to cer-tain groups, such as friends or fam-ily. The privacy policy for the tool is interdependent, meaning friends can only see each other’s proximity if they both have it turned on.

Once rolled out, users can find it in their app list under “More” in Facebook’s navigation menu. After opting-in, the Nearby Friends list will show the distance away from other users, display a timestamp of when the person last shared their location, and, in large cities, the app will also disclose the neighborhood.

Users can choose how long they share their location—an hour, a few hours, until tomorrow or until manually stopped. Additionally, it allows sharers to include a 40-char-

Letter to the editorI read with interest the front-

page article, “Students work to ban Styrofoam,” in your Thursday, April 17, 2014 edition, which described an effort by students to gain popular support for a ban on polystyrene dishes in cam-pus restaurants. The rationale for this action was an environmental one, spe-cifically the reduction of atmospheric chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which are released upon polystyrene decomposi-tion. However, this fact alone does not justify such a draconian change.

The total relative environmental effect of polystyrene products versus paper products is not clearly under-stood. To identify the true impact of polystyrene, or any other material,

many factors must be considered, including the required energy and raw materials for production; the weight of the final product (denser materials, like paper, use more fuel in shipping); energy expended in recycling, clean-ing, and disposing of the products; and others. These and similar issues were not broached in the article (not for want of access; it took me five minutes on Google to collect more information than I care to read on the subject).

One easily-determinable fact that was not raised is that polystyrene cups tend to cost much less than paper cups—in many cases, half as much—which leads to the inescapable conclu-sion that a ban on polystyrene cups would increase the cost of a meal on campus anywhere from ten to fifty cents. Though this may seem relatively inconsequential, consider how many meals are served on campus in a year.

The yearly expense of the proposed ban would certainly run in the hun-dreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars. Whether it be the student body, the university employees, or the taxpayer (or, most likely, a combina-tion of the three), someone must pay this cost.

This last point is ultimately what inspired me to put fingers to keyboard. Different people can hold whatever views they want, as long as they do not affect me. Like most rational people, I am willing to foot the bill for a program if it clearly promotes societal good. However, if I am going to pay more in my per-meal cost, tuition, or taxes due to the ideals of a few enthusiasts, they had better give me a good reason. The argument for a polystyrene ban (as given in the original article) is too nar-row to persuade me that the monetary expense will be worth it.

Babble about it.

What are you doing for Easter?

#tigerbabble

Entrepreneur and philanthro-pist Chris Gardner will speak at the Michael D. Rose Theatre on April 23, at 7 p.m. The lecture is sponsored by the Student Activities Council.

Tonika Ingram, the chair of SAC’s Ideas and Issues Council, revealed that the decision to bring in Chris Gardner was based on a desire to bring in an inspiring keynote speak-er—and the council had been dis-cussing the movie The Pursuit of Happyness, in which Will Smith por-trays Gardner.

“We wanted to bring somebody with a ‘rags to riches’ story,” Ingram said. “I’m really excited to see the type of crowd we get.”

Christopher Gardner was born in Milwaukee, Wis., in 1954. As a child he endured an abusive stepfather and a frequently jailed mother who taught him the meaning of self-reliance.

“You can only depend on your-self,” Gardner quotes his mother as saying. “The cavalry ain’t coming.”

After a stint in the U.S. Navy, sev-eral low-paying jobs (including sell-ing medical equipment) and a num-ber of failed relationships, Gardner decided to become a stockbroker. He enrolled into a stockbroker-training program, enduring poverty while he learned the ropes. Bear Stearns, one

of the nation’s top stock brokerages, recruited him in 1982.

Even then, things weren’t easy for Gardner. His second wife abandoned his toddler-aged son with him, and with only a small salary to live on, Gardner was forced into homeless-

ness. He wandered the streets of San Francisco, trying to find food, shelter and daycare for his son.

But Gardner persevered, and, in 1987, he started Gardner Rich & Co, a brokerage firm based in Chicago, Ill. When he started the firm, he had one piece of furniture and $10,000. In 2006, he sold his stake in the com-pany he created, earning millions of dollars in the process, and started

Christopher Gardner International Holdings, a business with offices all over the country. That same year, he published his autobiography, The Pursuit of Happyness. Gardner’s sec-ond book, Start Where You Are: Life Lessons in Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be, was published in 2009. Both have become bestsellers. Gardner now has an esti-mated net worth of $60 million.

Tonika Ingram’s hope is that Gardner’s story will inspire students to keep reaching towards their goals, even if the cards seem stacked against them.

“No matter what you go through you can reach the goals you have,” Ingram said. “I hope people take away that if you work hard, you can reach any goals that you strive to.”

Admission to the lecture is free.

help students compete with future competitors.

“The business culture is what they don’t teach you in typical school cur-riculums. Even with a degree, you need to be prepared with other skills to be able to enter the business world,” Bossler, who also worked the “pol-ished” booth at the event, said. “That’s what Fogelman does, they help you enhance those skills, as well as getting a degree.”

Kathy Tuberville, the director of the Avron Fogelman Center and teacher in the college of business, is one of the leaders in the college’s pro-fessionalism program and throughout the event stressed the importance of furthering your education pass the

traditional classes and courses. “A degree is incredibly important,

but it’s not enough anymore. You have to be polished and professional. The most important thing for the college of business is that we try to make our students completely ready for the workforce and to help them become the best they can be through our pro-fessional program,” Tuberville said. “I believe our students are getting a competitive edge that many students from other school don’t have.”

Along with Promise Day, the Fogelman College of Business also has dozens of other programs designed to inspire and most students to be more professional. Against all Odds, one of the college’s newest programs is meant to inspire students with stories of Memphians who have, “against all odds,” made it through tough times and have become successful.

Dean Rajiv Grover said these pro-

grams make the business students stick out and that many employers are now looking for graduates who not only have degrees, but also have what Grover called “soft skills,” which include dining etiquette, interview skills, résumé building skills and good body language. He noted that although these sound simple they are in fact very hard to train and to perfect.

“We want to show students that we care and that we want to develop them into complete professionals. What happened is the universities stuck with teaching students cogni-tive skills and let the organizations or employers teach the soft skills. The businesses were happy to take on the raw talent and teach all of the soft skills,” Grover, who has been at the University for seven years and imple-mented the first of the professional-ism programs, said. “Their organiza-

tions are now saying that they don’t have the time to teach all of these soft skills that actually are very important, and I want students who are fully pre-pared to come into our organizations”

Avron Fogelman, who the col-lege is named after, also made an appearance at the event. Tuberville said Fogelman had positive reviews about the event.

“Avron Fogelman, our benefac-tor, came to the event and was very pleased with the event. He wants to give back to the University, in par-ticular the College of Business, and he wants our students to be able to go into the workplace and have a com-petitive edge,” Tuberville said.

Along with booths representing organizations and professionalism, the event also had the Fogelman Feeds program, which consisted of doz-ens of students constantly preparing pre-made meals for the Mid-South

Food Bank. Organizations within the College of Business were encouraged to bring cans for the food drive.

“Fogelman Promise Day is a good opportunity to come talk to people and help network. Students get to meet entrepreneurs and business owners from all around the world,” Daniel Triplett, sophomore account-ing major, said. “This gives Memphis a lot of opportunities to grow. This event is great and it brings a lot to our university.”

According to Bossler, learning all of these skills are must-have knowledge in the ever changing and competitive world and workforce of business.

“Without Fogelman’s professional-ism programs and all of the people who support it, the business school would not be what it is,” Bossler said. “These things are essential for stu-dents to be successful after graduation and we’re all grateful for it.”

U of M art museum to host family dayThe Institute of Egyptian Art and

Archaeology is sponsoring the 11th annual Ancient Egypt and Family Day event Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This year, the event will be in the lobby of the Art Museum of the University of Memphis in the Communication and Fine Arts Building.

“I brought my little sister to the event last year, and she had a blast,” Taylor Ricks, junior education major, said. “She really enjoyed coloring with the other kids.”

Patricia Podzorski is the curator of the ancient Egyptian exhibit, and said this is her second year being part of the event.

“I think this event will be very fun and educational to kids up to the age of 12 especially,” Podzorski said. “They will get the opportunity to come and engage in fun activities with the Ancient Egypt gallery.”

“I think that even though this event is mainly for younger children, it is worth U of M students knowing that the University has two Egyptology pro-grams, one in the Art department and one in the History department,” Nigel

Strudwick, assistant professor in art history, said.

A new addition to the museum will be “storage drawers.”

Various artifacts and more from the museum that have been locked away in storage drawers will be opened and available for those who attend to see.

There will also be mummies to teach the children and help them understand ancient Egyptian life and afterlife, including combs, mirrors and a 4,000-year-old loaf of bread.

While much of the event is struc-tured for younger children, there will be an hour–long event called “School for Scribes” with information for chil-dren 10 years old and older, as well as U of M students and adults.

During this activity, attendees will get the chance to learn more about hieroglyphs from ancient Egypt, as well as getting the chance to write their names in hieroglyphs.

Children will also have the opportu-nity to color and decorate royal crowns and making ancient Egyptian amulets.

Another activity titled “Ancient Egyptian Detective” involves the chil-dren finding multiple items through-out the museum in a scavenger hunt.

Due to limited availability for this event, those interested in taking part must reserve a spot at 901-678-2649.

MINNEAPOLIS — The land of sky blue waters has become the land of bright green vegetables.

The former Hamm’s brewery in St. Paul, built over artesian wells that led to the company’s iconic motto, has been repurposed as an aquapon-ic facility that uses the water to grow fish and vegetables. As harvesting ramps up, it’s only the second aqua-ponic operation in the country to be certified as 100 percent organic.

“This is a new way of farm-ing,” said Dave Haider, one of the founders of Urban Organics. “I’ve become extremely passionate about this — you could even say border-line obsessed.”

The company’s goal is to have its produce in supermarkets, co-ops and restaurants the same day it’s harvested. And because the grow-ing is done inside, the process will continue year-round.

“To have freshly picked produce on the shelves in February is very unusual in Minnesota,” said Fred Haberman, another founder. “We’re introducing a new growing season in Minnesota — winter.

“Even if there are 50 days below zero in a row, we can still provide fresh greens.”

But aspirations for the compa-ny go far beyond that. By using a closed-loop water system that was developed by Twin Cities-based Pentair, the process uses only 2 per-cent of the water needed for conven-tional agriculture. The company’s partners hope that others will follow their lead and bring organic garden-ing into areas where it’s overlooked now.

“This is our legacy,” Haberman

said. “We want to inspire food sys-tems for people by people. We want people to learn more about where their food comes from and learn more about the food they eat.”

If that makes it seem that the company is putting lot of pressure on itself, Haberman would agree.

“There is a societal element to this,” he said. “This is an experi-ment. As far as we know, nobody has made money at this. But over time, I believe that we can prove that this model works. This has to work. We’re going to will it to work.”

Aquaponics is the term for com-bining hydroponic gardening — growing plants in water — with

aquaculture — fish farming. Fish are raised in tanks. The wastewater is pumped from the tanks to the grow-ing beds, where the plants absorb the nutrients, cleaning the water so it can be pumped back into the fish tanks. The only water loss comes from evaporation.

The produce is certified as organ-ic. “There is no organic certification for fish in the United States, but I’m on a committee that’s working on it,” Haider said. “Hopefully, we’ll have something in writing by next year.”

“There’s a lot more that goes into organic certification than just not using pesticides or GMOs (geneti-cally modified organisms),” Haider

said. “It includes what you clean the equipment with, what you clean the floor with, even how you clean the trucks that haul the produce. It’s very complicated.”

Urban Organics owns all six floors in one part of the former brewery on the city’s East Side. Production is in full force on one floor, with the equipment being installed on the second floor. Each floor will produce 5,000 fish (which are not ready yet, but will be har-vested every nine months) and 20,000 plants (which can be har-vested every 50 days).

“It’s a controlled environment, so we can take all the variables out

of the equation,” Haberman said. “We don’t have to worry about the vagaries of the weather, about how wet the spring is or how dry the summer is.”

The company’s first harvest consists of tilapia and five kinds of produce: green kale, red kale, Swiss chard, parsley and cilantro. As the operation expands, so will the variety.

“We’re looking at putting wall-eye or trout into the second floor,” Haider said. “Then we’d go with crops that can handle the cooler water of the coldwater fish.”

“Eighty-five percent of the pro-duce that is eaten in the Twin Cities comes from hundreds — if not thou-sands — of miles away,” Haberman said. “Don’t you just love the stuff that comes from your back-yard garden? That’s because it’s fresh.”

Lunds and Byerly’s stores snapped up the first limited har-vest of produce, and their customers snapped it up.

“We love that it’s less than an hour from production facility to store,” said Rick Steigerwald, the stores’ vice president for fresh foods. “And we love that it’s organic and sustainable farming. Our customers have become much more interested in where the food comes from and how it’s grown.”

Haider never envisioned becom-ing a farmer, but he has discov-ered that it has benefits he hadn’t expected.

“We pick produce for our salads at lunch,” he said.

Does that mean he’s eating up the company’s profits? “We prefer to call it quality control.”

commemorative plaque recognizing students who helped in the pro-posed Green Space project to the Alumni Mall.

During Decal Drive-Thru on Thursday, students and faculty alike drove by the Alumni Center to donate and enter to win a free iPad Mini, while also receiving a decal for their vehicles.

There will also be online donations set up, so someone can still donate if he or she misses the event, according to McDonnell.

“It’s a great way for our organiza-tion to get our name out there,” Rachel Brandon, a Common Cents volunteer, said. “It’ll be a chill spot that will be a smoke-free bench, since most the benches are designated smoke areas now.”

According to Brandon, the pro-posed tree and bench will either be added during the upcoming summer or fall semester.

The Common Cents program aspires to encourage more students to help volunteer for not only their organization but also the many others on campus.

“The whole week we’ll be having online donations that can be socially shared on Facebook, so others can see what we’re raising money for,” McDonnell said. “It’s basically like a Kick-Starter, but it’s also a way for people to see what we’re about.”

Students who want to contribute to the Common Cents Green Space can donate at commoncents.mem-phis.edu.

“This is a great way for students to get involved and participate in campus fundraiser that will help better the entire student body,” McDonnell said.

3-point threat Miller also Grizzlies’ iron man

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The Memphis Grizzlies hoped Mike Miller would be healthy once they got to the postseason.

Well, he’s healthy all right. Memphis’ oldest player also turned out to be the Grizzlies’ lone iron man.

After the veteran signed as a free agent last summer when the Miami Heat let him go, Miller was the only player on the roster to appear in all 82 games as he helped the Grizzlies reach a franchise-record fourth straight postseason.

Miller said if it’s possible to take any positive from being injured a lot in recent years, it’s that he put very little mileage on his body.

“I basically played spot minutes in the regular season and played just heavy minutes in the playoffs,” Miller said. “I’m a 34-year-old right now with about a 30-year-old body, 28-year-old body. I feel great. I’m ready to play.”

Miller, who turned 34 in February, hadn’t played a full 82 games since his rookie season in Orlando in 2000-01. He was limited to 80 games combined in his first two seasons in Miami, though he played 59 games last season as he won two titles in his time with the Heat.

That contributed to the Heat designating Miller as their amnesty player, and Memphis is getting a bar-gain with Miami paying more than $12 million to Miller this season and next.

He just became the 23rd player in NBA history to play all 82 games in his 14th season or later, join-ing the likes of Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlin, Michael Jordan, Karl Malone and John Stockton. Miller played an average of 20.7 minutes per game with four starts.

But Miller hasn’t just been a regular presence off the bench. He also remains a big threat outside the 3-point line, shooting 45.9 percent, second only to Kyle Korver of Atlanta in the NBA. Miller has been even better since the All-Star break, hitting

55.2 percent.Memphis coach Dave Joerger said

the Grizzlies’ belief that they can score and keep up with the NBA’s good scoring teams goes way up when Miller is aggressive and hitting shots. Miller also brings the 3-point threat the Grizzlies just haven’t had in recent years.

“It’s a big shot in the arm for us,” Joerger said. “Changes some things. Makes teams wonder how much they can help or where they should come from so it is not the same every time. You can create a little more confusion and be a lot less predictable with your play in the post.”

Guard Mike Conley credits Miller with being a steady influence and true leader all season long. The Grizzlies were 10-15 in mid-December with Marc Gasol out with a sprained left

knee before going 40-17. Memphis opens the first round Saturday night at second-seeded Oklahoma City in what will be the third series between these teams in four seasons.

Beyond hitting big 3s, Conley said Miller has dug them out of holes in a lot of games. Conley noted a key moment in Wednesday night’s 106-105 overtime win over Dallas to grab the No. 7 seed.

“He got us out of a timeout and yelled at us just telling us not to hang our heads and all that, that we can still win the game, and that sort of stuff picks us up,” Conley said.

Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph benefit from Miller’s 3-point shoot-ing the most. His shooting threat keeps defenses from smothering Gasol and Randolph in the paint and creating more room to operate.

“That’s what we’re going to need to win this series,” Randolph said.

Winning even one postseason game in a Grizzlies’ uniform will be a new experience for Miller. He was part of the first three Memphis teams to reach the playoffs between 2004 and 2006 that set an NBA record for futility losing their first 12 postseason games.

Since then, the Grizzlies won their first postseason series in 2011, beat-ing the Spurs. They reached their first Western Conference final last spring with Miller watching their playoff games from afar.

Now Miller wants more than just that first playoff win with Memphis.

“That’s my whole goal,” Miller said. “I have unfinished business here, and we’re going to see how it plays out.”

The American Athletic Conference may not return to Memphis with their men’s basketball tournament anytime soon, but the American men’s tennis tournament kicks off this weekend at the Racquet Club of Memphis.

The action begins Friday at 9 a.m., but the Tigers, who earned the No. 1 seed in the tournament, have a first-round bye. Their first match starts Saturday at 2 p.m.

Memphis head coach Paul Goebel expects spectators to see some great tennis. He hopes fans will show up in droves.

“There’s a lot of evenly matched teams,” Goebel said. “Every match is going to be a good one. It should be a great tournament to come watch, and hopefully a lot of fans can come out and support the team.”

The No. 21 Tigers completed the regular season on Sunday, defeating the then-No. 25 University of South Florida. Memphis, who was ranked 26th at the time, vaulted ahead of the Bulls in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association ranking to earn the No. 1 seed in the tournament—a luxury Memphis is used to living without.

After winning the Conference USA tournament last season, the Blue and Gray (13-4, 3-0 AAC) feel like they’re poised to make a similar run this weekend.

“It’s obviously great to be hosting again and to be at the Racquet Club and get the home fans out again,” senior Joe Salisbury said. “I know last year we obviously had a great time because we won it, but it’s great play-ing in front of the home fans. And being the one seed, that’s obviously a first for this program, so we feel really confident going into it.”

Memphis wants to ride the momentum they gained with Sunday’s win. They’ve been doing an excellent job all season long secur-ing the doubles point to open their matches. Seniors Johnny Grimal and

Ian Chadwell locked up the first dou-bles win on Sunday, and the dynamic duo of seniors David O’Hare and Joe Salisbury followed with a tiebreak win of their own.

Junior Connor Glennon leads the way for Memphis in singles. He spent most of the season playing in the No. 1 slot, amassing a 15-7 overall record and 4-5 record against ranked opponents.

However, Grimal was the Tiger making headlines last week. The American named Grimal their men’s tennis player of the week after he helped the Tigers to a pair of confer-ence wins over the weekend. Grimal was the fourth Memphis player to receive a weekly award this season.

Grimal said he really enjoyed last season’s tournament win, and he wants to return to the top of the

bracket again this year. “After last year, that was like the

best experience of my life,” Grimal said. “It’s so good that we can host here in Memphis, and we have the chance to play in front of my fam-ily and all the fans. I’m pretty happy because a lot of people are going to come over. It’s good to have that feel-ing to not only play for yourself but play for the team and for the fans. I’m

just so proud to be a Tiger right now.”Goebel is confident in his team,

and he hopes a lot of fans will show up in support.

“I know today (the fans) made a big difference,” Goebel said after the Tigers win over USF. “We had great support, and I think the guys really feed off that. We’re hoping to draw a good crowd next week. The guys will play loose and they’re excited.”
