Memphis defeats Marshall, turns efforts towards UCF for homecoming

Tigers quell Thundering Herd

Taylor Berger is bringing his success as owner and founder of YoLo, the local self-serve fro-zen yogurt company, back to his roots — The University of Memphis.

YoLo is coming to the Tiger Bookstore café area in the near future. While the details are still being finalized, an exact date has yet to be determined.

“At this time, it’s premature to say when the YoLo concept will be ready. We will let everyone know when the details have been worked out.” said Bookstore Manager Donna Collier.

Two YoLo soft-serve yogurt machines will be placed along-side Starbucks Coffee Company. They will be located on the glass wall that looks out onto the patio, replacing beverage coolers.

“The café already has Seattle’s best coffee, so adding a YoLo will be a great combination,” Berger said.

The campus YoLo idea came about when Collier emailed Berger last week. Berger, former U of M law student who founded YoLo last year, quickly agreed when he viewed the bookstore café area and saw it would be a perfect fit.

“She was looking to help out their café and make it more of a popular hangout spot for the stu-dents. We have lots of University of Memphis students as custom-

ers now. When I went to the UM law school, there’s so many times I would’ve loved to have YoLo as an option,” Berger said.

Students have mixed reactions about the frozen yogurt location coming to campus.

Tiara Pickens, freshman criminology and forensic sci-ence major, said she is excited to have a frozen yogurt eatery on campus.

Shawn Mufti, freshman com-

puter science major, wanted to know why it was coming to the bookstore instead of other locations such as the University Center.

“I don’t even like yogurt,” said Jasmine Johnson, freshman education major.

For Naomi Robinson, fresh-man criminal justice major, the new YoLo opening is fitting in light of the warmer weather.

“It will be nice to have on cam-

pus because spring is coming,” Robinson said.

The YoLo on campus will begin with a limited menu of four flavors of gelato and a dozen toppings. It will also sell YoLo Bakes, baked goods including cupcakes, cookies and brownies.

“If it’s really popular we’ll add more machines and toppings, but it will be a result of the feedback we get from students. Whatever

Three University of Memphis students have been arrested and charged with fraudulent use of a debit card.

Philip Bradley, Cletus Hatten and Justin Sueing, all 18 years old, were each arrested Thursday on fraud charges for using another student’s cam-pus ID card to make purchases from several vending machines on campus. They each admitted to the crime, and additionally Bradley admitted to stealing the card and was charged with theft of property $500 or less.

Student Matthew O’Malley told U of M Police that at about 3:30 p.m. on Feb. 18, he put his wallet — containing his ATM

card, driver’s license, student ID, military ID and $5 — into his backpack inside a locker in the men’s locker room at the Recreation Center.

When he returned to retrieve his belongings approximately 45 minutes later, his wallet and its contents were missing. Sometime thereafter, his wallet

was returned to him, but the cash, ATM card and student ID had been taken out.

SGA bill passed to extend UC restaurant hours

The Student Government Association is attempting to oblige students’ cravings for late-night meals.

Thursday, the group passed a bill to extend the hours of the Tigers of Memphis restau-rant, located in the University Center from 9 p.m. to midnight Mondays through Fridays. The idea came after members of the Freshman Senate observed a number of students irritated over the restaurant’s closing time.

“We were prompted by talking to students about what they wanted improved upon. Students who live on campus said they do not want to drive their cars off campus to eat when they could easily eat on campus if hours allowed,” said Riccardo Hicks, SGA speaker of the Senate, who proposed the bill.

Hicks said Director of Food Services Danny Armitage agreed to a one-month trial of the new hours in order to assess potential costs.

“The cost assessment will allow administration to see if they will break even. If Aramark does not make a prof-it it is okay, just as long as they do not end up losing money,” Hicks said.

Armitage could not be reached Monday. Hicks said he expects to meet with University Center Director Bob Barnett soon to discuss the extension of service hours.

Barnett said he doesn’t think the extended hours will work out.

“We are not necessarily opposed to the idea of the UC hours extending, but as of now we are not budgeted to keep the building open until midnight. There are other cost implications to consider but we are certainly willing to consider student concerns,” Barnett said.

If the one-month trial does take place, Hicks said it would likely occur by the end of the spring semester. From there, the administration will deter-mine whether or not to make the change permanent.

Depending on the results,

Students for Healthy Lifestyles, an organization that encourages healthy liv-ing on campus and in the community at large, became a registered student organi-zation this semester.

“(SHL is) trying to start healthy living in Memphis and teach students what healthy living encompasses, including physical, mental and emotional health and well-being,” said Megan Smith, vice president.

The idea to create the group began with Lauren Ganavazos, a junior health promotion and lifestyle management major, when she took a year off from school and moved to Florida with her family.

“When I was in Florida, people live very healthfully, and when we moved back here, there wasn’t a large health culture in Memphis,” Ganavazos said.

Now, as president of SHL, she is focused on bringing fitness to The U of M through club-sponsored activities

like fun runs, nutritional picnics, ultimate Frisbee and community service with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Memphis.

“We’re building a relation-ship with Boys & Girls Club because they’re an admira-ble program, and they have a great fitness program, too,” she said. “And when there’s an organization like us facilitating that kind of volunteering, it makes it more comfortable for mem-bers to take part.”

The creation of a nutri-tion and exercise-oriented group couldn’t come at a better time, according to a 2010 report from Trust for America’s Health. It showed that Tennessee is the sec-ond most obese state in the nation, with 31.6 percent of the adult population suffer-ing from the epidemic.

During the organization’s next meeting on March 20, Carolyn Nasca, a registered dietitian and adjunct pro-fessor at The U of M, will present a workshop on stress management. All students are invited to attend the free event.

Dining services implemented a new order kiosk at the Cyber Café in the FedEx Institute of Technology this semester.

The kiosks allow students to enter their own orders into a computer and then pay a cashier for their food. It was designed to reduce wait times and increase customer satisfaction.

Director of Dining Services Peter Groenendyk said he and Dining Services staff intended to have the new kiosk installed by the beginning of the semester, but it wasn’t actually placed at the Cyber Café until mid-January.

He said the order stations won’t take away jobs from employees and the new system is meant to increase customer service.

“In many of our locations, we’re actually maxing out on how many people we can serve, so we saw this as a way to try and improve that process so people can stand in an ordering queue and their orders would go directly back to the food prep area. You could pay your ticket and speed that process up,” Groenendyk said.

The kiosk has allowed Dining Services to increase service times at cafe, but there are no plans to install kiosks in other locations on campus.

The service was funded by investment dollars that Dining Services gets from its vendors yearly.

“Tiger Dining has a food ser-vice agreement with Aramark and (the company) is committed to investing a certain amount of money every year into the kiosks,”

Groenendyk said. Sophomores Lauren

Oppenheimer and Cameron Symlar both used the self-order-ing station for the first time on Monday.

Symlar, a communication major, said he goes to the cafe for lunch about three or four times a week. He said the station was easy to use and he was able to place his order quickly.

“This is the quietest it’s ever been. It’s usually jam-packed in here,” he said, contributing

the calmness to the kiosk being installed.

Oppenheimer, an education major, said Monday was her fifth time to dine at the Cyber Café. The lines are usually long, she said, and her experience with the new system was a welcome change.

“I think it’s a heck of a lot better. I really do. It’s less time consum-ing than to have to sit and wait on everybody,” Oppenheimer said.

At peak times, the lines still back up a bit with people trying to learn the new system. As a result, the restaurant will gain an addi-tional ordering station next week to account for some of the wait time, Groenendyk said.

Dining Services will also add a kiosk in the new art building in the fall. It will be similar to the full-service kiosk at the Cyber Cafe.

In addition, Groenendyk said at some point in the near future the theater building will add an exterior service window to Fred & Ethel’s, so students can order and pick up their food from outdoors.

University of Memphis alumna Callie Caldwell recently became the first public inter-est counselor at the Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law.

Caldwell will help students abide by the mandatory require-ment of 40 hours of pro bono work before graduation – a poli-cy to go into effect this fall.

“I’ll be coming up with opportunities for students to gain bono work, like working with attorney services to gain hands on experience. They can shadow attorneys or do clerical work. It doesn’t have to be legal work. They can also do commu-nity service,” she said.

As a public interest counselor,

Caldwell will also help students with career placement after grad-uation. She spent a year working as a judicial clerk for Federal Magistrate Judge Diane Vescovo after she graduated from the School of Law in 2010.

Judicial clerkships involve working with a judge to research legal questions and laws. The clerk then writes legal motions that are edited by the judge for final order, Caldwell said.

“I left this University with an incredible experience; I am now back here making the law school a better place. What’s needed in society and the legal field are lawyers who will take pro bono cases when they are attorneys. Right now with the economy down it’s important for me to be here helping students get jobs,” Caldwell said.

Tonight, students at The University of Memphis can receive a lesson in love from an official date doctor, David Coleman.

Coleman has given advice in over 3,000 shows put on for people who need his help on relationships. He said he looks forward to helping tonight in the University Center Theatre from 8 to 10 p. m.

“When I was a college administra-tor I did a session at a conference and when I finished, people started giv-ing me their busi-ness cards and ask-ing me to speak at their schools,” he said. “Everyone told me their students needed to hear what I had to say. That’s when I realized this could be big.”

Coleman received his master ’s in col-lege administration, but in 1996 left his career to become a full-time motiva-tional speaker.

He first visited The U of M last year when he taught a leadership class sponsored by the Empowered Men of Color. As student demand for relationship advice increased, the Student Activities Council decided to bring him back.

Clarissa Child, the issues and ideas chair for SAC, said Coleman was highly recom-mended by the group’s advi-sor. She said Coleman’s sense

of humor was a large part of why she wanted him to come to The University.

“I think everyone is going to get a lot out of the show, whether they are in a seri-ous relationship or single,” she said. “Students will enjoy themselves and if they don’t learn something I will be shocked,” she said.

Child said she has a lot to learn and will be listening for new ways to improve upon

her five-year relationship.“I try to take advice from

people who have been in rela-tionships longer than me and people who are older than me,” she said. “People your own age might think they know about your relation-ships, but they don’t.”

Coleman will talk about the “five-minute find,” the differ-ent types of love, how to spot the characteristics of a healthy

relationship and “David’s rebound ratil.”

Coleman explained the “rebound ratil” by saying that in most cases, a person should wait two weeks for every month of dating and two months for every year of their relationship to begin dat-ing again.

“If you got broken up with, you need time to heal, but if you did the breaking you may be ready to move on right

away,” Coleman said.

DeAndre McBee, senior criminal jus-tice major, said he has been single for a year and a half and is not looking for a relationship, but thinks he can benefit from hear-ing what Coleman has to say.

“ R e l a t i o n s h i p s have steered away from the traditional style of dating as far as courting and getting to know a person before jumping into a rela-tionship,” he said. “These days it’s based more on lust

and social status as to why people may want to be in a relationship with someone.”

Coleman said he wants stu-dents to bring a few friends with them so they can discuss what they learned.

“When students leave here they’re going to know if their relationship is a good or bad one and how to deal with it accordingly,” Coleman said.

Is there a doctor in the house? other eateries like the Tiger Den and Einstein Brothers, could expe-rience an hour extension also, Hicks said.

“It brings campus home if you know you always have a place to go (to eat,)” Hicks said.

Freshman English major Haley Hanners said she would welcome restaurants on campus to stay open longer.

“I don’t have a car, so when I get back to the dorms from work I don’t have a place to go get food. I would love if the UC stayed open until midnight,” Hanners said.

Mark Blackbum, freshman vocal performance major, said he is unsure if the Tigers of Memphis restaurant should be open so late.

“I live on campus, but I think midnight is a little excessive. Maybe if the UC was open another hour or so, but when it’s late it’s pretty quiet around there,” he said.

Record number of sea otter deathsAfter being brought back

from the brink of extinction, sea otters are again in peril, with an unprecedented number of deaths along the California coast in the last year.

The U.S. Geological Survey reported that 335 dead, sick or injured otters were found in 2011, a record high.

“We’re starting to see a perplexing trend suggest-ing increased shark attacks on sea otters,” said Tim Tinker of the USGS’ Western Ecological

Research Center.Shark bites accounted for 15

percent of otter deaths in the late 1990s, but that percentage nearly doubled in 2010 and 2011, Tinker said.

Sharks have long received some of the blame for the otter’s mortality rate, but the popula-tion has also been thinned by infectious diseases, boat strikes and gunshot wounds, among other factors.

“If these stressors remain high and shark mortality remains high, then there is no chance” for the population to regenerate, Tinker said.

Sharks seem to favor breed-ing-age female otters, he said, which could deliver more of a blow to the sea mammals’

numbers.The last official popula-

tion reported for the sea otter was 2,711, only 379 short of the

threshold that would begin con-sideration for it being removed from the federal endangered species list.

It’s a tiny home, but promot-ers contend it is energy self-sufficient and environmentally green.

Powered by solar panels and propane gas, the 400-square-foot home is designed to elimi-nate the need for an electric utility connection. It also offers the option of using a “gray water” filtering system and toilets that don’t need to be linked to a septic tank or sewer.

The portable, “off-the-grid” house has been on display in Modesto, Calif.

“Everything is self-con-tained,” said Steven Lefler of Modular Lifestyles Inc., the company promoting the home as an affordable and environ-mentally friendly alternative to traditional housing.

“The cost of building a home on empty land is astronomical because of what it takes to con-nect to utilities,” Lefler said.

That doesn’t mean this home is a bargain. It’s priced at $69,500 — which works out to $174 per square foot — not counting the cost of land, site preparation or building permits.

By comparison, the medi-an sales price for an exist-ing Stanislaus County, Calif., homes, including the lots they’re built on, is about $80 per square foot, according to DataQuick, a real estate research firm.

“This home works in places that have high costs,” Lefler said about his so-called green alternative.

The Olive Lane Estates mobile home park hopes a larger version of the home will attract new tenants to its community.

“We’re set to buy five solar homes, and we’ll probably rent them,” said Michael Ramsey, Olive Lane’s regional manag-er. The park has five empty spaces, so Ramsey said it is going to install two-bedroom,

one-bath homes from Modular Lifestyles in those spots. The first of them is expected to arrive this month.

Lefler said those 784-square-foot homes sell for $60,000. He said they do not have as many features as the smaller home now on display.

Because the two-bedroom homes will not have elec-tricity costs, Ramsey said he expects to rent them for $900 per month.

The average rental rate for traditional two-bedroom, one-bath apartments in Modesto is about $790 per month, but they have an average 847 square feet, according to RealFacts, which tracks rental property trends. Typical renters, how-ever, must pay electric bills in addition to rent.

According to the Modesto Irrigation District, homes with 850 square feet or less pay an average electric bill of $115 per month.

The green homes from Modular Lifestyles are built

in Arizona and trucked to California. Lefler said they are considered “green” because they have features such as cork flooring, recycled building materials, LED lighting and

energy-efficient appliances.The water heater, stove,

furnace and back-up genera-tor are powered by propane. Propane bills would have to be paid separately.

A Weekly Devotional For YouThe Bait and The Hook

No doubt that fat, juicy worm looks delicious to the fish. He may nibble on it for a bit, and it tastes so good he decides to get the whole thing in his mouth and devour it in one delectable bite. To his sad surprise the episode does not end like he thought it would. What promised such pleasure ends in terminal disaster. That is the way that Satan and sin work. Satan shows the bait but hides the hook. Many a life has been ruined by not recognizing this. Moses, in the prime of his vigorous, young manhood refused to “enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.” He was much wiser than the young man we read about in the book of Proverbs. He yielded to the temptations of an unfaithful woman and was not aware that he was going “as an ox goeth to the slaughter.” I once witnessed a bull being slaughtered for its meat. The animal was enticed with some grain to go to the place of its slaughter. While unconcernedly munching on some corn, he sustained the fatal blow. Some who read this will perhaps scoff and dismiss such warnings as paranoia or as an anachro-nistic throwback to an ignorant and superstitious age. Proverbs speaks of such a scoffer who refused to take warning and when he began to reap the consequences of his actions lamented his foolishness and com-plained, “How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof…”

Kit foxes are cute, endangered and a problemLike lovers in Paris, San

Joaquin kit foxes will always have Bakersfield, Calif.

The rare little foxes come out mostly at night. They find fabulous food everywhere: chunks of cheeseburger from dumpsters, shreds of taco on windblown wrappers. And the accommodations: What can beat a cozy den in the student quarter — specifically, beneath portable classrooms in the Panama-Buena Vista Union School District?

The 17,000-student district isn’t crazy about the foxes, especially when about one-third of its 23 elementary and junior high schools have to deal with them on a regu-lar basis. Administrators have offered a wildlife biologist $25,000 for a plan to man-age the endangered species, which is literally, and uneasily, underfoot.

Mostly nocturnal, the ach-ingly cute 5-pound critters sometimes emerge early in the morning or late in the after-noon. Their burrows can also house skunks and feral cats; officials say odors enter class-rooms along with fleas.

Michael Brouse, the dis-trict’s business manager, said nobody can recall “a student-kit fox encounter,” but the ani-mals can pose a problem. They leave copious droppings. They get tangled in soccer nets.

And, to the chagrin of administrators, they love schools, with their wide-open campuses, brown-bag lunches and strict adherence to envi-ronmental regulations.

“There’s a certain amount of paranoia about what you can do legally,” Brouse said. “You can’t just shoo them away.”

A few years ago, Brouse said, one of his district’s prin-

cipals told him about a fox plopping itself across a class-room doorway, briefly detain-ing both teacher and students.

“In essence, the kids were held hostage in the classroom until the kit fox decided to get up and go,” Brouse said.

About the size of small house cats, the foxes are not aggressive but, according to school officials, can do more than their share of damage. Digging burrows in crawl spaces beneath portable class-rooms, foxes last year creat-ed dirt piles that jammed up against the structures 2 feet overhead. In a couple of build-ings, flooring rotted and had to be replaced.

Exactly what the Panama-Buena Vista district will do about its fox colonies is up in the air. With permits from environmental agencies, other schools have filled in inconve-nient burrows and built arti-ficial dens in out-of-the-way spots on campus. Some have placed one-way doors at den openings to ensure that foxes who get out, stay out.

A century ago, more than 12,000 of the foxes roamed the San Joaquin Valley. With much of the valley since given over to farming and oil extrac-tion, the population has fallen to fewer than 3,000, scientists say. They’ve been a fixture on the federal endangered spe-cies list since 1967 — yet as many as 400 make themselves at home in Bakersfield’s golf courses, subdivisions and schools, especially those near the edge of town.

“At first, we thought they were displaced stragglers that would be pushed out or die off as development continued,” said Bryan Cypher, a biologist with the Endangered Species Recovery Program at Cal State Stanislaus. “But they’re doing surprisingly well in the urban

area.”Coyotes, the foxes’ chief

enemy, aren’t as numerous in the flat, open stretches of town as in places where thick brush and steep arroyos can shield them. That leaves a fox with many potential dens to choose from in Bakersfield. Besides schools, there are culverts, irrigation channels, power lines and hundreds of storm-water drainage basins.

Then there’s the food: In the wild, the foxes subsist on kan-garoo rats. In town, there’s fast food galore, plus the kibble that fox lovers, over the objec-tions of biologists, set outside for their nocturnal visitors.

“Bakersfield in the past hasn’t necessarily been the most endangered-species-sympathetic area,” Cypher

said, “but many people enjoy having the foxes around.”

For 10 years, Linda DeRose, a 71-year-old retired teach-er, has watched foxes skitter around the portable class-rooms at Stockdale Elementary School across from her house. “Everybody who sees them really likes them. They’re real-ly cute, they run real fast, they have big ears. It’s amazing they’re able to exist in such proximity to people.”

It could help, she said, that her husband sometimes puts out cat food for the neighbor-hood strays, a meal that also goes down well with foxes. When workers at Stockdale erected barriers to keep foxes from re-entering their bur-rows last December, the ani-mals “were running around

the neighborhood like crazy,” she said. “They were frantic.”

Sometimes residents have alerted the city about street work putting foxes in harm’s way. A few have dug into their pockets for the foxes; three years ago, an animal lover freed a kit fox dangling by its neck from the volleyball net at Independence School.

She also paid $1,200 for the leg amputation the fox required. It was the year ’s sixth “entanglement,” accord-ing to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

At Cal State Bakersfield, officials ask biologists about possible harm to kit foxes before they schedule events at an outdoor amphitheater.

Senior Lonlack delivers in final home gameAfter 11 ties and 21 lead

changes, the University of Memphis women’s basketball team found themselves tied 64-64 with the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes (12-14, 7-8).

With seven seconds remain-ing in the game, the Tigers (22-6, 12-3) inbounded the ball and went coast-to-coast only to miss the layup. But fortunate-ly, three-year letterman and senior guard Ramses Lonlack found herself in the right place at the right time to tip in the miss as time expired and give the Tigers a 66-64 win.

“I was so proud of her and so happy for her,” Head Coach Melissa McFerrin said. “I can’t really envision how many peo-ple were there, but I know she was and she would be nowhere else than exactly where we told her to be when the shot went up.”

Coming out of a timeout, Memphis inbounded the ball to senior guard Danay Collier. She drove all the way to the basket, but put too much mus-tard on the layup attempt. The ball then bounced into the waiting hands of Lonlack who hit the game winner.

“It’s a play that coach (McFerrin) had drawn up in a lot of practices,” Dickson said. “The thing was to just try and get the ball in the goal with a layup and if not tip it in because we knew time was running out and (Lonlack) made a great play to tip it in.”

Memphis trailed 59-58 when junior forward Nicole Dickson connected on a jumper to push the Tigers ahead 60-59 with 2:13 remaining in the game. The Golden Hurricane answered with one of ten three-pointers to recapture the lead 62-60.

The Tigers did not waiver, hitting two consecutive jump-ers to leap back in front 64-62 with 28 seconds left. Tulsa ensued to call timeout and came back on the floor with a set play. Despite missing the jumper, Tulsa regained pos-session after a jump ball was called on the rebound.

The Golden Hurricane found an open Taleya Mayberry on the inbound pass and tied the game once again at 64 with 7.3 seconds on the clock.

Memphis trailed at halftime 31-29 after allowing the Golden Hurricane to shoot 13-29 (44.8 percent) from the floor. The Tigers shot a modest 30.3 per-cent (10-33) from the floor in

the first half and finished the game at 35.7 (20-56) percent.

The Tigers forced 24 turn-overs, 15 via steals. Senior Jasmine Lee led Memphis with 20 points and 14 rebounds.

Lonlack added 19 points, eight rebounds, and six steals, while Dickson chipped in 17 points and ten rebounds.

Mayberry paced Tulsa with 23 points.

The Tigers return to action Thursday when they travel to Houston to take on the Rice Owls in the regular-season finale. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. central standard time.

Sammie Ballard discovered that O’Malley’s campus ID had been used 60 times on campus since it was stolen, totaling a charged amount of $76.25 to the card. It was first used at a vend-ing machine in Patterson Hall and then at vending machines in the Administration Building and South Hall. Surveillance footage showed the same three men at each location, including the site of the theft.

According to an affida-vit, Michael Lauderdale, a Residence Life employee at South Hall, identified Bradley as one of the men in the video. Bradley is a resident in South Hall, the affidavit said.

Two days later on Feb. 20, Ballard and U of M Police Captain Kevin Langellier locat-ed Bradley and the two oth-ers who were shown in the surveillance videos – identi-fied as Sueing and Hatten – in Bradley’s dorm room. Bradley refused to allow police to search his room, but all three suspects agreed to go to Police Services for questioning.

There, they waived their Miranda rights and gave signed statements admitting guilt, an affidavit stated. Bradley told police that he didn’t remember how he came into possession of the ID.

The three were arrested by Shelby County Sheriff’s Office deputies Thursday. Bradley and Sueing posted $250 bonds and Hatten posted a $1,000 bond. Each have a court date scheduled for General Sessions court on March 23 at 9 a.m.

According to court records, Bradley is from Memphis, Sueing is from Nashville and Hatten is from St. Louis, Missouri.

Sueing would not comment on the matter and Bradley and Hatten failed to respond to emails from The Daily Helmsman.

Deputy Director of Public Safety Derek Myers said this is the only incident of a campus card being reported stolen this year. In 2011, nine cards were reported stolen and University police obtained arrest warrants

for five of those.Bruce Harber, director of

public safety said the offense is a Class A misdemeanor, pun-ishable by incarceration of up to 11 months and 29 days and up to a $2,500 fine.

“Students need to maintain control of their cards if pos-sible,” Harber said. “If a card is missing, the student should go online and report it lost or stolen to shut off access to the card. The University Police need to be contacted so we can report and investigate the incident.”

the students want, we will bring,” Berger said.

Instead of paying by weight, students will pay by size. There will be 8, 12 and 16 oz. cups available for the price of $3, $5 and $7, Berger said.

Students will be able to use their Tiger Funds and Dining Dollars to pay for YoLo prod-ucts, Collier said. Regular store discounts may not be available

at The U of M location. The bookstore is still working out the details with Berger.

Berger expressed his readi-ness and excitement to open a new location on The U of M campus.

“We want to open as soon as possible. We’re ready this week if the electrical department can get the location ready in time,” Berger said.

Barton earns weekly award

University of Memphis soph-omore guard Will Barton has been named Conference USA Player of the Week for the third time this season, league officials announced Monday.

In last week’s victories over East Carolina and Marshall, Barton averaged 24.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.5 assists. He also managed to shoot an impres-sive 55.9 percent from the floor and 81.8 percent from the charity stripe.

Barton poured in 25 points against the Pirates, going 62.5 percent (10-16) from the floor, while also connecting on 5-7 from the free throw line.

Against Marshall, Barton filled the stat sheet once again, scoring 24 points along with three assists and three steals. Twelve of his game-high 24 points came in the first half.

Barton currently leads C-USA in scoring (18.3 ppg) and is sev-enth in rebounds per game (8.0). He also ranks fourth in steals per game (1.6), ninth in field goal percentage (51.2), 13th in assists per game (2.9), and 14th in free throw percentage (73.6).

Memphis takes on the UCF Knights tonight at 8 p.m. at the FedExForum.

The University of Memphis athletic department is pulling out all the stops in an effort to get students to attend the Tigers’ final home game of the season tonight at 8 p.m.

The team will celebrate the college careers of seniors Wesley Witherspoon and Preston Laird in their final regular season game at the FedExForum, and Head Coach Josh Pastner wants a large student contingent in the stands.

“We need to have a great crowd,” he said. “The students need to show up, in the upper deck. I’m calling the students out. They need to be there Tuesday.”

For tonight’s game, the first 1,000 students will receive T-shirts and pompoms. In addi-tion to that, the first 50 stu-dents in attendance will have a chance to go on the court and form a tunnel during the player introductions.

Free parking will also be avail-able for the first 250 cars to arrive at the special student parking lot at the corner of Danny Thomas Boulevard and Beale Street.

“For what we’re playing for, everybody needs to show up and have great energy for 40 minutes,” Pastner said.

Tigers got a bit of revenge after last year’s loss on the road at Marshall, thrashing the Thundering Herd 87-67 on Saturday.

The Tigers, coming off a 23-point thrashing of ECU at home, were wary of the Herd after only beating them by seven at home on Jan. 28. Marshall also came into the game ranked in the top 10 nationally for rebounding.

They handled the pres-sure of being in first place in Conference USA by hammer-ing the Thundering Herd on their own court, pushing their lead to 20 in the waning sec-onds of the game.

Memphis stormed out of the gate in the second half, pushing a five-point halftime lead to 14. Marshall came back a bit, cutting the Tigers’ lead down to six, but could come no closer.

In an almost identical repeat of the Rice game on Jan. 25, sophomore guard Joe Jackson was fouled hard by Marshall’s DeAndre Kane, prompting a confrontation between the two teams, with both head coach Josh Pastner and Marshall coach Tom Herrion diving in to separate the players. This time, however, no players came off the bench and none were eject-ed, while Kane was charged

with a Flagrant 1 foul.That incident with 6:18

remaining in the game helped finish off Marshall, with the Tigers unleashing a 20-7 run to secure the big win.

Will Barton scored a team-high 24 points and pulled down six boards, while Joe Jackson added 21 points and dished out six assists. Chris Crawford had seven rebounds and eight assists, as well as scoring 16 points. Tarik Black was a force inside with 18 points on 8-of-8 shooting.

The team now turns its attention to a UCF team that beat them last month. When the Tigers traveled down to Orlando on Jan. 18, UCF’s Keith Clanton completed a three-point play with four seconds remaining to put the Knights on top and beat Memphis for the first time in UCF history.

“We had them beat up there,” Jackson said. “We just made some bad mistakes defensively that cost us the game.”

The Knights are led by juniors Keith Clanton and Marcus Jordan (son of Michael Jordan), who average 15 and 14.5 points, respectively. Clanton also leads the team in rebounding with 8.6 per game, while sophomore Isaiah Sykes pulls down 6.6 per game, plus adding 12.5 points per game.

Memphis will be fighting to maintain their one-game lead over Southern Miss and Tulsa at the top of the Conference

USA standings, while UCF is hoping to improve their chanc-es for an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.

“Both teams are playing

for a lot,” Pastner said. “It’s going to be a high-level bas-ketball game, and we’re going to have to be ready to play at our level.”
