The Embry-Riddle Ice Hockey Team is having our home opener game, this Friday, Sept.14, at 9:00 p.m. at the Daytona Ice Arena against the University of South Florida!

The team is eager to begin the season and has been working hard to be one of the most competitive teams in Florida. Off-ice work-outs began two weeks ago and the team has been skating together for over a week.

Practices have been productive,

and the guys have been full of enthusiasm.

Led by our captain Mark Newpower, alternate captain Tim Grande, Coach Anthony Galante, and Assistant Coach Phil VanDette, we are looking forward to a successful season.

The team is excited to play 12 home games this season.

Opponents include the University of Central Florida, Florida Institute of Technology, Florida Atlantic University, The University of Miami, The University of Tampa, and the University of Florida.

The team is still actively recruit-ing new players for the season, so new players are still welcome. Find us on Facebook and make sure to pick up a schedule at the Activities Fair.

We look forward to your support for the coolest sport on campus!! Go Eagles!!

Welcome back to Embry-Riddle for the 2012-2013 academic year! The Student Finance Board (SFB) has been busy preparing for the Fiscal Year. Budget packets have been distributed for student organi-zations to request funds.

The SFB has reviewed and pub-lished last year’s financial infor-mation, and are already reviewing division budgets for the upcoming year. We are currently focused on making adjustments to SGA spend-ing, so that students will see a bet-ter utilization of their SGA fee.

Budget packets are now available on the SGA website: sga.db.erau.edu/branches/budget_application_request.php. Budget Packets are due on Sept. 21.

Organizations are invited to pres-ent to the Finance Board between Sept. 25 and Oct. 2. More informa-

tion about the process of requesting funds can be found in the packets.

During Fall 2011 and Spring 2012, the SGA expensed a total of $807,643, and Figure 1 shows the breakdown into the various categories.

The largest expense categories were Touch-N-Go Productions, the Executive Budget, and Student Organization funding. Touch-n-Go’s largest expense was stu-dent programming which included Thursday Night Movies, Coffee House Artists, Rocktober, Stress Relief Day, Orientation Events, Friday Night Laughs, Game Show Night, Casino Night, Poker Night, and artists such Bo Burnham, Emerson Drive, CJ Johnson, Hit the Lights, and Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.

TNG’s next two largest catego-ries were production and office supplies and general services.

The Executive Budget included expenses for administrative sal-

aries and services such as SafeRide, coffee, candy, and newspapers. Special expenses that fall under

the Executive Budget included the Blue Bike

Program, the Share-an-Umbrella program, electron-ics recycling, hosting the AFICU conference, the SGA

spring banquet, and elections promotional material. Student Organizations were

allocated $113,178 in Spring 2012, a record high amount! (Figure 2). Collectively, student organizations utilized their allocations more effectively than any groups in the last five years.

Historically, student organiza-

tions leave 25% of allocations unclaimed. Common reasons for unclaimed funds include: turning in receipts for unapproved items, not turning in enough receipts, or never turning in receipts. In Spring 2012, organizations left only 15.3% unused, a substantial improvement from past years.

The SGA funded the Avion’s print-ing expenses, comics, and cross-word puzzles. The Avion’s printing costs decreased more than 17% in Fall 2011 due to the change in print size. WIKD 102.5’s budget includ-ed promotional giveaway items, a station remodel, new server hous-ing, and a new transmitter and antenna. The SGA Office expen-ditures included student assistant wages, office supplies, tea, and water.

Overall, 78% of each dollar spent was used for services that directly affected students and 22% of each dollar spent was used to make those services possible. For a more detailed financial report, stop by the office to grab the Finance Board

brochure. The SFB has ambitious goals

for the year to make sure that we are effective stewards of students’ money.

Keep an eye out for informa-tion regarding what we’ll be doing to maximize student organization allocations, including utilizing unspent allocations and adjust-ments to how we reanalyze the SGA’s entire budget to maximize its use for student services.

Make the most out of your orga-nization’s budget this semester and learn about new ways to get more money! Visit the Treasurer’s Training Workshop on Tuesday, Sept. 11 at 6:30 p.m. in IC 103 and the Fundraising Workshop sched-uled tentatively for Sept. 26 at 6 p.m. in IC 104. Contact Joe at [email protected] or stop by the office for more information.

Our offices are always open for anything. Don’t hesitate to call (386-226-7699), e-mail ([email protected]), or stop by the SGA office with questions or concerns.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, in collaboration with NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC), the United Launch Alliance (ULA), and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is advancing innovative research in Fluid Management technologies, particularly in the area of propellant slosh and on-orbit propellant storage and transfer systems.

On Tuesday, Sept. 11, Embry-Riddle’s Researcher of the Year, Dr. Sathya Gangadharan, or “Dr. Zero-G” as he is affectionately known, will be presenting a speech regarding his research and experi-mentation on the subject of fuel slosh, offi-cially titled “Propellant Slosh and On-Orbit Propellant Storage/Transfer Research Related to Spacecraft and Launch Vehicles”.

The Avion was able to get a “behind-the-scenes” interview with Dr. Zero-G and Nathan Silvernail, a graduate student of his who has been involved in the project for many years.

Trey: Please, introduce yourselves and tell us a little about the project.

Dr. G: I am Dr. Gangadharan, from the Mechanical Engineering department. The name I got from students is Dr. Zero-G after being involved in microgravity flights. We have been involved in this fuel slosh type of work for almost 10 years now since I was first a NASA faculty fellow in 2003 where I started working with collaborator Jim Sudermann at KSC. With ULA we are going to go beyond microgravity and into suborbital flights and then onto the International Space Station. The project has been funded on a budget of close to one million dollars. One of the things I would like to emphasize is that I have been fortunate to get good graduate students to work on projects. Working on a microgravity project is just an incredible experience.

Nathan: I am Nathan Silvernail; I have been going to Riddle since 2006. I have been doing graduate studies in mechanical engi-neering ever since 2010. I have been involved in seven microgravity flights on four different projects. What I primarily work on now is on-orbit propellant storage and transfer tech-nologies.

T: Why is this an important topic? What is the real effect of fuel slosh?

Dr. G: When you look at any space vehicle, 70-80% of that vehicle is propellant. It is like a bucket of water, and as that propellant gets depleted you have more of a tendency for the fuel to slosh.

There is always this problem of the slosh-ing fluid to exert forces that upsets the overall stability of the vehicle itself. If you do not understand the mechanics of this force to try to mitigate them, you will not stay on course; it is a very complex phenomenon.

N: A lot of research that we do has to do with propellant, but not necessarily just slosh. A lot of it is fluid transfer, the main impor-tance of that is a lot of people are talking about deep space travel, going back to the moon, going back to Mars and a lot of that we do not actually have the launch capability to do.

Right now we actually launch with every-thing we need to take to say Mars, so it is like taking all the fuel, all the supplies, everything that you need with you, whereas what we are doing is setting up rest points along the way, so you can use a smaller vehicle and refuel along the way.

Now you can go deep into space because you have got all this fuel you did not expend trying to get out of the atmosphere. Also the costs are mitigated; the SLS NASA has now is a 24 billion dollar project whereas using the on-orbit technology would only cost around half a billion. Point five billion versus 24 bil-lion, and we can actually do that today.

T: What do you see in the future of Embry-Riddle related to microgravity and space research?

G: I think Embry-Riddle could be a leader in microgravity and space research and have students on microgravity flights. We could lease a microgravity plane, and we could have students in that program do micrograv-ity flights and conduct experiments and give them the exposure as part of the course. We can do a lot of things.

We have to jump on and take a lead. It would involve the collaboration of the college of arts and sciences, college of engineering and college of aeronautical science working together. We could put something together- we have something going, you know? No other university is doing what we are specialized in, we would be the only, and we would be the top. If I could get the university support and the resources, I could make this happen.

A3The Avion, September 11, 2012 Student Government

The Student Represented Board is in full swing. The SRB is one of the divisions which make up the Student Government Association. The board meets every Tuesday from 12:45-2:00 in the William Miller IC building audi-torium. The meetings are conducted by the Vice President of the SRB John Christian. A variety of student related topics are discussed and begin with stu-dent liaison officer reports. These reports explain current projects and information from the departments which the student is representing.

The student officers from the Treasures Office, Chief Justice, and the respected colleges (Aviation, Engineering, Arts and Sciences, Business) are the depart-ments which go first. The meeting then goes into committee reports which are Marketing, Constitution, Academic, Environmental Awareness, Vacancy, and

Progress. Each student liaison then gives their

report on the department where they represent. Athletics, Safety / Security, Graduate, IT, International Student Studies, Legal Eagle, Library, Records / Registration, Student Employment, Student Wellness, Task Force One, Diversity, and Parking are all the indi-vidual departments. After each report is given the meeting then goes into new business / announcements which any liaison can add too. If there is no new business / announcements to be addressed the meeting is adjourned.

If you would like to attend the meet-ings please feel free. There are plenty of seats available and any student wishing to voice issues or concerns will be given the time to do so at every meeting.

The meetings once again are every Tuesday from 12:45-2:00 in the William Miller IC building auditorium. We hope to see you soon and we are proud to be serving you!

“There are only two options regarding commitment; you’re either in or you’re out. There’s no such thing as life in-between,” -Pat Riley. I have tended to follow this quote throughout my life. I am Rebecca Love, a College of Engineering repre-sentative on the Student Representative Board. I have never done student govern-ment before, but I was a leader for high school cross country and track and am ready to use all the resources I have for this new position.

I am a sophomore majoring in Aerospace Engineering. My hometown is Hamburg, New York, which is just below Buffalo, New York. I have learned from my town that Environmental Awareness is impor-tant to the world; in turn, I have joined the Environmental Awareness Committee. Also, from having my share of experi-

ences, some positive, some negative, with Records and Registration, I am willing to work toward making the Department more efficient and student friendly. Both these positions are important to me; there-fore, I hope to make changes to our university among these areas to better the student life. My passion expands over the campus as a whole and, from having this passion; I obtained a position as an Orientation-Team Leader.

On top of these positions, I am also a part of the Athletic Family through being on Embry-Riddle Cross Country and Track. From being on Cross Country and Track, I have learned valuable time-management skills. I am involved with Campus Outreach, which is a ministry on campus and, when home, enjoy skiing, reading, and watching movies.

Being really involved in high school in California, automatically my motive when I stepped on campus was to jump into the exciting activities that this university had to offer. As an AFROTC high school scholarship recipient, the first organization that I became a part of was the ROTC program on campus.

My freshman year I joined Task Force One, a club that allows freshman to gain some valuable student government experi-ence. The knowledge gained in this club allowed me to successfully run and get elected as a Student Representative for the College of Engineering.

Finding my niche in Student Activities, I was also selected for the notorious Orientation Team. Along with being part of the Student Representative Board, I am also the Information Technology Liaison as well as the Chairperson for the Environmental Awareness

Committee. My role in the SGA consists of planning forums for the respective colleges, continuing successful student programs and improving student life.

I received a 3.5 CGPA for my first year and was presented with the Freshman Outstanding Engineer of the Year Award at the Spring 2012 Engineer’s Banquet. I wish to utilize my combination of lead-ership and student government experi-ence to advance my knowledge and maximize my effectiveness as a College of Engineering Representative.

With this opportunity to be a part of student government, I wish to properly represent the College of Engineering by empowering your voice and being pro-active with complaints so that this uni-versity may continue to evolve towards perfection.

It is no secret that Fraternities on campus host some of the most well-known parties each semester. However, the life of Fraternity men and Sorority women is not one filled with excessive drinking and uncontrollable revelry. The Greek community actu-

ally focuses much of their time on fundraising and volunteer activities. Lauren Massey, a Theta Phi Alpha Sister, explained that they have two philanthropies –

Glenmary Home Missionary and The House That Theta Phi Alpha Built. “Last year we made tie dye shirts for Camp Friendship which is a camp for children between the ages of 8 to 12,” said Massey, “We also participated in Relay for Life.”

According to The Fraternity Advisor, Greeks comprise the largest volunteer group in the country; they raise over seven million dollars each year and volunteer 10 million hours of community service within that time.

Jade McClenahan, a Greek Life Recruitment Counselor, affirmed, “Yes, being in Greek life has opened up many ‘social’ opportunities for me, but those social opportunities don’t even come close to the number of philanthropic and leadership opportunities available to me solely because I am in a sorority. In terms of the social life, the way I choose to spend my free time has not changed since I decided to join Greek Life.”

Many students feel that the Brotherhood is insin-cere, or that it lacks in relation to other life bonds that are formed. Austin Boliver, a military veteran, commented, “I do not think Fraternities have as much draw to veterans because even though it is considered

a ‘Brotherhood’ in a Fraternity, nothing compares to the true Brotherhood you experi-ence in the military.” Unarguably, honoring your country by serving in the military is insurmountable. Being in a fraternity cannot compare to the courageousness of being in the military, but going Greek does allows you the chance to experience some similar aspects.

Lambda Chi Alpha Brother Bret Louderback explained, “A Greek organization [has] different officers in charge of certain areas of operation, committees to ensure certain jobs get done correctly, and an executive board that makes decisions that will affect the whole chapter.” He continued, “An added bonus is the bond that we share with each other and brothers from other chapters around the world. The experiences I have had and the people I have met through Greek life have really taught me valuable life lessons that I will take with me beyond our college walls to better myself and the world around me.”

You have seen the banners around campus, the Facebook event invites and school newspaper ads all urging you to “Go Greek!” and rush a Fraternity or Sorority. You have seen students on campus wearing their letters at BBQs, sporting events

and orientation activities. But you have also seen Animal House, and you are not sure if the stereotypical drunken party scene that is depicted as Greek life is for you. Unfortunately, because of movies like that, erroneous, nega-

tive connotations surround Fraternities and Sororities. After asking various unaffiliated members of our campus community about their opinion of Greek life, three clear stereotypes emerged. Then,

Fraternity and Sorority members were asked to bust the illusion.-Allie Iacovelli

Derrick Daughtry, a Sigma Alpha Epsilon Brother, stressed the significance of grades by stating, “People think all Greek life is about is partying when in reality it is not. Grades are probably one of the most important things when it comes to joining a fraternity. All Greek organizations require you to have a certain GPA to even rush and you have to maintain that GPA throughout your college career

in order to be a part of the organization.” In fact, on campuses all across the country,

Fraternity and Sorority members main-tain a higher GPA than their unaf-

filiated counterparts (WAFB, 2011). Daughtry continued

to highlight Greek life academics, declaring,

“Fraternities and Sororities have

s c h o l a r s h i p p r o g r a m s

a r r a n g e d to keep e v e r y -o n e ’ s g r a d e s up by having study hours and specified tutoring via the Brothers/Sisters that have already taken the classes.”

There are many different ways people cope with shock. There are the questioning people asking why it has to be the way it is. There are the people who cope with shock by laughing at it and treating it as a joke. The most common way though is complete and absolute silence.

Every day in the ERAU Daytona Beach Admissions Office, I listen to the awk-ward silence as a parent or potential stu-dent compose himself or herself after hearing the sticker price to attend Embry-Riddle.

Unfortunately, there is no way to sugar coat the fact that the average school cost in tuition and fees is $41,460 per year if you are an under-graduate student not in the flight program.

If you ever would like to walk across the street you can pay less than half of that amount and attend Daytona State College for over the year (according to their website).

This is the out of state cost includes room and board, transportation, books and personal items. If you live in the state, the price costs even less than that.

Thus due to the ERAU price several times a day, I have to fill out a form explaining a student cannot attend due to financial reasons.

That is why it irks me so much when a student complains at Embry-Riddle.

For instance, a student may complain that there is nothing to do on campus. Our campus provides over 150 organizations ranging from sailing to building rock-ets. Students even have the opportunity to create a club and be fund-ed by

t h e SGA to do someth ing amazing.

If that seems like too much work, students can attend events put on by Touch-N-Go productions and, free of charge, attend movies, come-dians and even c o m -edies. If that does n o t meet

your fancy, the ICI has a ton of equip-ment that a student can rent for an outdoor adventure or receive highly discounted tickets to an amusement park.

There are also simple fixes to your everyday life that the school provides for (and you pay for). Having problems with your relationships or family, we have a counseling center where they will coun-sel during the semester for free. Feeling sick? Health services will take care of

you for free. Need some

extra cash on cam-pus? Student Employment’s goal

is to find you a job on or off campus. Need to

score that internship? Career services puts on

countless presentations to teach you how to get

that all important internship or job. Career services can also have a

one on one inter-viewing sessions

w i t h you to practice your skills.

So all and all, live your life to your fullest.

Many students would love to be in your shoes and be on this amazing campus. Take advantage of all the events around you, ask your professors questions and make your college life the way you would want it to be. You get out of life what you put in.

Why you should take advantage of going to ERAU

Dear Abby

Alena ThompsonManaging Editor

Dear Abby,Unfortunately, I don’t feel like I am fit-

ting in with my dorm. My classes are okay,

but I am not thrilled about them. I am wor-ried that I may be in the wrong major or even the wrong school. How do you know

if you are in the right major? Are you sure about yours?

-Purple Copper

Dear Purple Copper,If you are not interested in weather, ATM,

Homeland Security, or anything involving putting things in the sky then you are defi-nitely at the wrong school.

If you also do not like that we live 10 minutes from the beach and actually have descent food; then again, you are at the wrong school. I understand that you may be unsure about your position here and I have some suggestions.

You said you are unsure about your major. This is totally normal; do not worry. Statistics say that 80% of college students will change their major at some point in their education.

So if you feel u n c o m -fortable in your cur-rent major look at t a k i n g s o m e i n t r o -d u c t o r y c o u r s e s in other fields next semester. Finding out what field you should study is up to you and when considering the differ-ent fields

I suggest you find something you are pas-sionate about. A lot of people here love fly-

ing airplanes so, for them, an Aeronautical Science major is where they need to be. In my case I have been passionate about the weather ever since I was a little girl and as a result I am an Applied Meteorology major. Think about your interest, browse the course catalog, and talk to people in the different majors and think about what is best for you.

You also said you are unhappy in your classes. Is this because you feel lonely? Are you bored and falling asleep while your professor drones on? My suggestion to you is sit somewhere new in your classes and introduce yourself to those around you.

It will help you look for-ward to that class more and make it more entertaining. You may even develop a good study group with these new friends outside of class which would be bene-ficial for every-one involved.

Now you also say you feel lonely in your dorm. If you live in an enclosed dorm I sug-gest leaving your door propped open and saying hello to people who walk by.

Leaving your door open sends the univer-

sal signal “Hey, I am accepting friendly visi-tors!” Eventually people will start trickling in to talk to you and maybe you will make some new friends that way.

If you live in McKay then put a funny sign in the window to catch people’s atten-tion to get them to come inside. Trust me, the funnier the sign the more people will come in.

Another way to make friends is to get involved on campus.

There is a campus event here almost

every night and the events provide the perfect opportunity to mingle and meet new people You may feel dorky and

embarrassed, espe-cially at the events where

dancing is involved, but as long as you participate 110% like everyone else around you, you will fit right in with the crowd. Another way to get involved is to join clubs on campus. Everyone here has an inner nerd and all you have to do is find your own and let it shine. There are literally clubs from A-Z on this campus and I am sure one of them would spark your interest. Plus it will introduce you to people that share a common interest setting the base for friendships.

I hope that you find my suggestions help-ful and that you find your place here.

-Abby

A7The Avion, September 11, 2012 Student LifeAlumni meet minority students

On Friday, Oct. 12, alumni members of the original Embry-Riddle student minor-ity organization, Brothers of the Wind (BOW), will host a meet & greet event with current African-American students. A free luncheon will be held on the bot-tom floor of the Student Village Food Court from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The original BOW student group began in 1974. As of 2011, BOW has been re-established as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Alumni members of the Brothers of the Wind organization are committed to serving as a perpetu-al contact for Embry-Riddle’s African-American students and alumni world-wide. They provide student mentoring programs and scholarships, offer career and social networking, and share oppor-tunities for job placement and career advancement.

Accomplished African-American alumni from several fields within the aviation/aerospace industries will be in attendance at the luncheon to network with students. Expected BOW alumni include a captain with United Airlines, aviation attorney for Delta Airlines, an aircraft maintenance supervisor, the man-ager of the Miami Air Route Traffic Control Center, the operations supervisor of JFK International Airport, an aviation supply chain/inventory manager, a retired Navy captain, the registrar from Florida Atlantic University, the vice president of international operations for Forward Air, an owner of a computer consulting

agency, and a senior engineer from the B-2B bomber program, to name a few.

Additional invited guests include Naval aviators who are scheduled to fly in a T-2 and/or an F-18. These pilots will be

available to network during the luncheon, then they will offer “touch time” at their aircraft which will be on static display at the flight line following the luncheon.

Space for the luncheon is limited to

the first 50 minority students who reg-ister. To RSVP or for more details, con-tact the Office of Diversity by Oct. 11 at [email protected] or call 386-226-7558.

Every summer, Army ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) cadets throughout the United States are forwarded the opportunity to participate in the Army’s Culture and Language Program (CULP), a military program designed to allow cadets to travel overseas on paid active duty in support of the U.S. mission abroad. Cadets are selected based on their performance as both a student and as a member of ROTC.

Upon being selected, cadets are issued a series of tasks and deadlines which must be fulfilled in order to participate in the program. These tasks are many, and include items such as get-ting appli-cable vaccinations, obtaining the required passports and visas, and completing a research assignment based on the country of their deployment. After the task list is completed and the departure date arrives, cadets are flown to Ft. Knox, KY, where they link up with the other cadets in their group and spend several days fulfilling the Army’s pre-deployment requirements.

During the deployment, cadets are assigned various leadership positions and are evaluated based on their performance in these positions. At the end of the deploy-

ment, cadets receive an overall evaluation, which, if positive, will aid them in obtain-ing their desired profession upon commis-

sioning as a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. A r m y . C a d e t T h o m a s Wheatley and Cadet P a t r i c k L y d o n , b o t h Homeland S e c u r i t y m a j o r s , w e r e among sev-eral ERAU c a d e t s that were

awarded this unique opportunity. Cadet Wheatley was deployed to the Republic of Georgia, while Cadet Lydon was deployed to the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

The Republic of Georgia is located along the southern border of Russia, and is a former Soviet satellite nation. Georgia has been the victim of countless invasions throughout its history, and today stands as one of the world’s youngest democracies.

Wheatley says, “Our primary mission objective was to teach the indigenous popu-lation, primarily Georgian youth, American

history and culture in support of the U.S. Embassy’s mission to i m p r o v e r e l a t i o n s with the Republic of Georgia .” Par tnered with 10 other Army ROTC cadets from schools across the United States, Cadet Wheatley discussed topics as varied as American baseball, the U.S. Constitution, U.S. pop culture, the Fourth of July, and more. “It was a very rewarding experience; one that I will certainly carry with me for the rest of my life.”

A small island country located in the northern Pacific Ocean, the Marshall Islands achieved indepen-dence in 1986 after being governed by the United States for decades. “Our pur-

pose was to estab-lish an ASVAB (Armed Services V o c a t i o n a l Aptitude Battery) preparation class on the island of Ebeye for those of the Marshallese population inter-ested in serving in the U.S. military.” says Cadet Lydon.

“More specifi-cally, we coor-dinated with local officials to a form class schedule.”

In addition to his primary duties, Cadet Lydon also worked to cultivate after-noon activities

targeted towards Marshallese youth, spent time developing a positive relationship with the natives. Cadet Lydon’s overall evaluation of CULP was a positive one. “Participation in CULP was something I had been aspiring to do since I first learned of the program my freshman year. I hope to get the opportu-nity again.”

A new school year has begun – and with it comes a host of fun and exciting intra-mural events to compete in. The gentleman of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity here at Embry-Riddle enjoy competing in nearly all intramural sporting events, and their competitive spirit and love of athletics can be seen throughout campus. Only two weeks into the new semester, Pi Kappa Alpha has already begun to grasp athletic dominance – taking first place in three team

sporting events and winning third place in the home run derby.

During the first week of school, Pi Kappa Alpha battled toward first place in the intense dodgeball competition that was held on Wednesday in the ICI Center. The next day, teams of eight competed for the kickball championship on the artificial turf fields.

The Pi Kappa Alpha team once again fought for the title, winning the final match and taking first place. That Friday, Pike Brother Matthew Kress hit his way to third place in the intramural home run

derby. Finally, on Saturday, Greek orga-nizations challenged one another in the annual Oozeball competition – an excit-ing mud volleyball tournament. Always a tough competition, Pi Kappa Alpha once again came up on top – defeating Sigma Alpha Epsilon in the final match.

Pi Kappa Alpha has won the All Greek Intramural Championship every year since their inception on this campus in 2005; though the competitive nature that athleti-cism instills in an individual is an impor-tant characteristic, Pike places an equal importance on qualities such as schol-

arship and leadership, believing that a well-rounded individual will be most suc-cessful in his college and post-college career. SLAG (Scholars, Leaders, Athletes, Gentleman) describes the four pillars that define the gentlemen of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity, and the fraternal experience strengthens these pillars and prepares these men for a truly successful and enjoyable experience during college, and beyond.

Keep an eye out for the garnet and gold during the upcoming Rush week, and get to know the gentlemen behind the letters - Pi Kappa Alpha.

PKA continues athletic dominance

For Army ROTC Cadets, the world is their classroom offering a learning interac-tive environment of how others around the world view the U.S. and, in the process, learning more about themselves.

This past summer, I received the oppor-tunity to engage in active duty deploy-ment to Vietnam to develop better cultural awareness and foreign language proficiency skills.

Six other Cadets across the nation were selected to participate in the realities of vastly different lifestyles, economic stand-ing, and world perspective of Vietnam.

Our team comprised a total of seven members with LTC Vo, from Florida International University, as our cadre lead-er. Our U.S. led mission was to teach the

Vietnamese National Military at Unit 871 English in Hanoi, Vietnam.

With the partnership of North Georgia State & Military College, Andrea DiBienardo, academic Professor, provided each cadet specific daily lesson plans and guidelines to incorporate and execute in the classroom environment.

Apart from teaching English, our team traveled abroad Vietnam to expose our-selves to the richness and fullness of the social, cultural and historical aspects of Vietnam. Interestingly enough, our deploy-ment to Vietnam had historical implications as it was the first American led mission since the Vietnam War signifying the begin-ning of a developing friendship.

This experience not only serves to capi-talize on cultural awareness but to recog-nize friendship between two, often misun-derstood, countries.

The Embry-Riddle women’s soccer team earned one of the biggest win in program history on Sunday as the fifth-ranked Eagles downed top-ranked and four-time defending national champion Lee, 3-1 in the final game of the Habitat for Humanity Invitational. The win marked the Eagles’ first against a

top-five opponent and improved their over-all record to 4-2 on the year.

The Lady Flames (1-1), who came into Sunday’s contest riding a 21-game win streak, were the first to register a goal, scoring in the 12th minute. Caroline Scales lifted a high ball into the box and ERAU netminder Lauren Gallant slipped as she attempted to make the save and the ball s a i l e d o v e r h e r h e a d a n d i n t o t h e n e t f o r the

L e e goal.The Eagles came close

to matching the Lee effort in the 18th minute when Katherine Ebbs lifted a corner kick into the box. Valerie Obita rose above the Lee defense to get a head on it, but Lee defender Amy Cochran denied Obita’s shot attempt by head-ing the ball off the line to keep the Lady Flame lead intact.

After knock-ing on the door, the Eagles were finally able to break through in the 37th minute and the score came as a result of the Eagles’ third corner kick of the game. Once again, Ebbs was on the spot to take the corner and her flighted ball bounced off a couple of players to Allison Schultz on the far p o s t a n d

Schultz passed it into the net to tie the

score.A l t h o u g h

they held an 8-3 shot advantage in

the first half, the Eagles were unable to find the back of the net again, resulting in a 1-1 deadlock at the halftime.

The start of the second half saw both teams battle for possession. Lee had the

first chance to add to its lead, but Ode Fulutudilu’s attempt went wide of the mark, keeping both teams level.

Two minutes after Fulutudilu’s shot, Krizzy Menez won the ball at midfield and got it to Obita on the right side. Obita turned and pushed

the ball by her defender and that

move, c o u -

pled with her speed,

allowed the junior race into

the box unimpeded. Once inside the box she struck ball

beneath a diving goalkeeper into the lower left

corner of the goal to put the Eagles up 2-1.

T h e i r second goal

boosted the Eagles confidence

and they continued to pressure the Lee

defense. That pres-sure paid off with seven

minutes left in the match. Obita’s cross from just outside

the penalty box on the right side found Ebbs whose shot was blocked, but the ball fell into the path of Menez on the left side. Menez’s initial shot took a deflec-tion but the ball landed at the feet of the senior and she rifled home her fourth goal of the year put the Eagles up 3-1.

Lee went on the offensive to try and get a goal back, but Gallant was up to the chal-lenge, coming off her line to coral danger-ous crosses and turn back the Lady Flames’ attempts on frame. Gallant was credited with two save in 90 minutes of action, while her Lee counterpart, Leah Wilson had one save in the loss. Photo Courtesy: ANTOINE DAUGNY/AVION

TAMPA, Fla. - The NAIA No. 16 Embry-Riddle women’s cross country team opened their 14th season of compe-tition on Friday evening at the USF Bulls Invitational, racing to a fourth-place fin-ish, the best finish at the event the Eagles have ever posted. The 10-team field fea-tured five NCAA I squads, three of which found themselves behind the Eagles in the team results.

Junior Ellie Staker picked up right where she left off a year ago, pacing the Eagles with a time of 19:36.35, good for fifth overall, on a soggy course that received two inches of rain on Thursday.

“The course was really muddy tonight,” Eagle Head Coach Mike Rosolino said. “All of our times were slower than usual because the course was extremely heavy. But in spite of the course I’m really happy with the way the girls ran.”

Rosolino hopes Friday’s race might help prepare the Eagles for the 2012 NAIA National Championships in Fort Vancouver, Wash.

“Trudging through mud is a different type of environment than what we’re accustomed too,” said Rosolino. “It com-pares with our national meet a little bit.”

Karina Coelho finished 18th overall, a 15-place improvement from her 33rd-place finish at the event a year ago. The senior ran a 20:33.05, followed by sophomores Bailey Eaton (21:06.72) and Lauren Eschbach (21:10.71) in 30th and 31st respectively.

“Lauren had a great race,” Rosolino mentioned. “She, along with the rest of the team ran really well. Florida Atlantic is a team that usually finishes ahead of us, but we beat them tonight, I’m excited with that.”

Kira Ball rounded out the Eagle scorers in 39th place, finishing in 21:32.79 while fellow senior Baleigh Hyatt (21:47.15), sophomores Aleiyah Ross (22:12.61), Rebecca Love (24:10.52) and Brittany King (25:22.08) also competed for the Blue and Gold.

Tampa won the meet with 57 total points, beating out NCAA I UCF (61) and host South Florida (88) for the title. The Eagles totalled 106 points, beating NCAA I members Florida Atlantic (140), Miami (146) and Florida International (204).

The Eagles return to the cross country course next Saturday, Sept. 15 at the Mountain Dew Invitational, hosted by the University of Florida in Gainesville, Fla.

Women Race to Fourth-Place Finish

CLEVELAND, Tenn. – The fifth-ranked Embry-Riddle volleyball lost to No. 6 Lee, 25-12, 25-19, 25-20 on Saturday at the Paul Dana Walker Arena on the campus of Lee University. The Blue and Gold finish the Lee University Showcase tournament with a 2-1 record and fall to 6-2 overall on the season, while Lee improves to 7-5 and finishes the tournament with a 1-2 record.

The Eagles fell behind early in the first set and couldn’t recover, falling behind 9-2 just a few min-utes into the match. Back-to-back service aces from Veera Hietala closed the gap to 11-7, but that was the closest they would get. Lee capitalized on five ERAU errors as they closed out the set on a 13-4 run, winning 25-12. The Flames outhit Embry-Riddle in the first set, .447 to -.056.

As they had in both matches yesterday, the Eagles picked up the intensity level in the second set, battling with Lee throughout the frame. The Flames held a slim lead for most of the set until, but Lee caught fire with a

20-18 lead, finishing the set by winning five of the last six points to win, 25-19, taking a 2-0 lead in the match.

Jordan Holcomb led the Eagles with nine kills to go a l n g w i t h 10 digs w h i l e T a y l o r M a r t i n added seven kills and s e v e n digs. Hannah Gray picked up a team-high

Kirwa Wins First Race of 2012, Eagles Finish Third in Season Opener

TAMPA, Fla. - The NAIA No. 21 Embry-Riddle men’s cross country team kicked off their 2012 season at the USF Invitational on Friday evening, match-ing their highest-ever finish of third at the event. Senior Evans Kirwa won the meet, his 13th individual meet title as an Eagle, blowing away the rest of the field by 38 seconds.

The Eagles tallied 79 team points, just four behind second-place Nova Southeastern (NCAA II), while Florida A&M (NCAA I) claimed the team title with 59 points.

Kirwa’s time of 25:45.07 outpaced Florida A&M’s Elias Chesire (26:23.26), giving the Eldoret, Kenya native his sec-

ond straight USF Invitational individual crown.

“It’s always good to get that first race under our belts,” Head Coach Mike Rosolino stated. “Tonight’s race let us see where we are at, even though the course was really muddy and slow.”

Two inches of rain on Thursday damp-ened the Bulls’ home course, causing slow times across the board.

“It was a challenging night for us,” said Rosolino. “The mud and heat was a tough combination. It wasn’t our best season opener, but it was a solid effort all around.”

Sophomore Alec Hernandez finished second for the Eagles in 11th over-all, running to a time of 27:49.99, fol-lowed by Zachary Kraus’s 28:09.36 in 18th. Jason Riggs and Jacob Dordick went 26th and 27th with a 28:33.75 and

28:33.90 respectively, rounding out the Eagle scorers.

Jamin Mays (29:16.72), Ryan Larson (29:20.09), Mallory Jackson (30:58.21), Palmer Lintz (31:07.83), Dalton L’Heureux (31:55.39) and Trey Williams (38:47.38) also competed for Embry-Riddle; it was the collegiate debuts of Mays, Larson, Lintz and Williams.

“The gap we had between our sec-ond and fifth runners was very small,” Rosolino mentioned. “It was good to see guys step up while we were missing a couple of our top runners.”

The Blue and Gold topped four NCAA I teams and a pair of NCAA II squads at the meet.

Embry-Riddle travels to Gainseville, Fla. to participate in the Mountain Dew Invitational hosted by the University of Florida next Saturday, Sept. 15.

‘Light of Day’ leaves viewers cold

The Cold Light of Day is a star packed film starring Henry Cavill who will play Superman in next summer’s Man of Steel. The film seemed two have only two pur-poses which came across clearly to the audience.

The primary point of the film was to implant Henry Cavill into audience’s brains before next summer’s Superman movie, in which he will perform as the lead. The entire movie consists of following Henry Cavill around and marginalizing other character’s importance so that he becomes the only significant character. Although the movie’s main focus seemed to be to show-

case Henry Cavill, it also accomplished its other goal fairly well.

The second role of the film was to make money and give free advertising for the city of Madrid by filming its architecture. Although the film did involve some action, the directors did not forget to stop during those scenes and get a panoramic view of

the scenery and architecture of the location before moving on. All the location shoots made The Cold Light of Day into a vaca-tion video of Spain.

The Cold Light of Day is a film in which the only purpose appears to be to familiarize audiences with Henry Cavill before his next blockbuster movie, Man of

Steel, comes out next summer; when the film was not trying to fulfill its this goal, it was trying to sell the audience on a trip to Spain, earning this movie 2 airplanes out of 5. Unless you are considering taking a trip to southern Spain or are wondering who will star in next summer’s Man of Steel this movie will be a waste of money.

THE COLD LIGHT OF day acts as a showcase for the city of Madrid and upcoming Man of Steel star Henry Cavill, but offer little in the way of audence satisfaction.
