Students gather for annual study abroad fair, explore opportunities BY RACHAEL ADAMS Contributing News Reporter
"Be there or stay here," was the motto of the University of Rhode Island's Study Abroad Fair, held yesterday in the Memorial Union Ballroom.
. "Studying abroad can be a competitive advantage to- a student's degree through understanding of the world, other cultures and how a student's field of study works in other parts of the world," International Education Advisor Kendrick Delaney said.
At the fair a student could meet with more than 30 different representatives of the different programs, available both internationally and nationally. Representatives were there to offer information on their different programs, courses, locations and housing.
There are more than 200 affiliated study programs in more than 50 countries available to students.
"Tnere' s ""a~·"'-Cp,.,r""o~g~r""'am~for·

Although studying abroad is a necessary requirement for his major he explained, "I want to go to Spain because I never left the United States

Many students who previously studied abroad were also available to share their experiences. Mecca Smith, a junior anthropology major, traveled to Belize during the summer through a faculty-led program. This four-week program contained two weeks of learning about the country and two weeks in Belize, working on an archeological dig site and taking part in the excavation of Cahal Pech, a Mayan ruin. Smith was able to touch the artifacts the group found with her bare hands.
"I recommend studying abroad no matter what you are studying," Smith said. "It's eye-opening to see how things really are first hand, to learn things they don't teach you in textbooks."
"I think studying abroad is for every major and every profession, Brandford -Calvo said. We are one world. As members in it, it doesn't matter [about] our differences. We need to educate ourselves about the world and always ask 'why,'

Robert L. Carothers Library construction project begins
Clarisse Sullivan, a Filipino-native, has made the long journey overseas to enroll at the University of Rhode Island as a freshman marine-biology major.
It was the reputation of URI's marine biology program that drew her to Rhode Island.
"The whole reason why I chose URI is for the [marine
. biology] program." she said in an email interview. "I heard that it is really exceptional here at URI."
Her other university options were schools outside of Manila, the capitol city. However, she said she felt safer and more secure in the environment of URI.
She visited the university
"I really love swimming and floating about in the ocean, just admiring the sheer beauty of the underwater ecosystem," Sullivan said. "The water in the Philippines is as clear as can be, and when you go under, the different colors of the coral are just beautiful."
The 18-year-old freshman was born in the capitol city of Manila, a melting-pot of Spanish, American and Southern Asian cultures.

The University of Rhode Island's Robert L. Carothers Library is less than five months away from having an estimated $750,000 · new Learning Commons.
Head of Reference Robin Devin said that the construction of the new Learning Commons was supposed to begin when the Library's name changed two and a half years ago, but didn't because of fund~ ing issues.
Dean of the Carothers library Dave Maslyn said the process began on Sept. 1.
"[We] anticipate it to be open in December, definitely by spring semester," he said.
The first step toward con- '

structing the Learning Commons is to remove any asbestos that is in the area.
He said the original library building was built in 1976, when it was a "common practice to use floor tiles which, in fact, contained a component of asbestos."
Maslyn explained that the university recently instituted a new policy requiring removal of asbestos from construction areas before any other work can begin.
"They will finish the asbestos abatement in two weeks," Maslyn said.
Once the abatement process is complete, "the contractor will move in and begin demolition."

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT 'Greatest Rapper Alive,' Lil Wayne, falls flat On atbUID.I"elease BY KELLEY WILLIS Contributing Entertainment Writer
After seeing Lil Wayne in . Providence at his first comeback concert following a stint in prison in March, I hoped the old Weezy was back but wor- · ried he would play the rock songs from his last album Rebirth.
While Rebirth was released as a way to keep him relevant while behind bars, Weezy' s rock sound did not go over well with fans. So when he appeared on the Dunkin Donuts Center stage in March and gave us classic Lil Wayne, I had a newfound hope for Tha Carter IV.
Fans were happy to see him return to his roots and stray away from the pathetic rock attempt he made last fall, but unfortunately, the new album's anxiously awaited release in August floundered any hope.
away from society would lead him astray and make him disinterested.
In this case, the latter happened. Instead of cashing in on a perfect opportunity to add something unique to his music through his experiences, he fell back to the same type of music he's been writing for years and tackled it with a lazier approach.
"Megaman" is basically just a seemingly never-ending rant. Weezy states, "Well if life is a bitch, then mine's a golddigger." He ends the song with "Forget thebulls**t and remember me." We may remember you, Weezy, but I'm pretty sure this album is very forgettable.
Although "How to Hate," featuring T-Pain, was another snooze, I did find the line, "But don't f**k up with Wayne because when it 'Waynes it pours' to be quite humorous.
"In Nightmares of the
Bottom" and "President Cartet" Weezy steps up his game. His lyrics are much more crisp; ·less la*y and flow better. Yet · there was still something missing. I tnink Weezy' s lost his touch.
Of course I can't forget "6 Foot 7 Foot" and "How to Love." Thank God "6 Foot 7 Foot" was released months ago because its reputation was somewhat saved from this mess of an album.
It's clear Weezy needs a change and his music ·is becoming repetitive. Enter the constant metaphors about life. In "Blunt Blowin"' he raps, "Cause life is a movie that I've seen too many times." We get it, Weezy, you're bored with life and it clearly shines through in your music but just because you're bored does·n' t mean you need to make the rest of us suffer, too.
With feature appearances from pqpular names, T-Pain, Tech N9ne, Drake, Rick Ross, John Legend and more, one would expect Tha Carter IV to bring it. Instead, the all-star guest lineup backfired on Lil Wayne, making him look worse when the guest appearances topped his own solos by miles. It's ironic that Weezy doesn't

even appear in "Outro" and "Interlude." Apparently "The Greatest Rapper Alive" doesn't even rap in his own songs now?

Microsoft CEO considers Windows crucial to growth
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ~ Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer assured analysts on Wednesday that Windows · remains the software maker's financial foundation, even though slowing personal computer sales are raising worries about the operating system's ability to adapt to the new ways people and business are using technology.
· "Windows is at the center of our 'go-forward' strategy," Ballmer said during a presentation held in Anaheim, near Disneyland. "We feel very comfortable that this is a smart thing to do for our customers and the smart thing to do for -our shareholders .. "
Th~ Associated Press monitored Microsoft's analyst meeting via webcast.
Ballmer's upbeat tone reflected a positive buzz surrounding Windows 8, a version due out next year that Microsoft is touting as the most radical makeover ·of its lucrative operating system since 1995. Windows 8 is being designed to run on devices that boot up faster and work on touch-screen computer tablets, as well as on PCs that depend on keyboards and mice.
The overhaul is Microsoft's most aggressive response to the tablet craze that Apple Inc. set
off with its release of the iPad in 2009.
Since then, Apple has sold more than 28 million iPads and analysts expect tens of millions more to be sold by the time Windows 8 is ready to be shipped. Microsoft isn't saying when Windows 8 will go on sale, but analysts expect it to hit the market at some point between July and the 2012 holiday shopping season.
In the meantime, Microsoft is still promoting Windows 7, which has sold nearly 450 million copies since its 2009 release. It just recently sur~
passed Windows XP - a decade-old operating systemas the most widely used version of Microsoft's operating systems, according to company estimates.
That may be so, but Microsoft still appears to have work to do to win back investors who have become increasingly convinced that the company has lost its competitive edge as Google Inc. emerged as the Internet's most powerful player and Apple Inc. shaped mobile computing trends with the iPhone and iPad tablet.

lived with her mother in Manila. The city was jam packed, and made traffic a hassle. However, the city is very similar to that of a fastpaced, American city, she said.
So fa4 she said she has adapted to her new environment very well. Sullivan has vacationed throughout the United States, including in Rhode Island, so the American culture is one she felt familiar with before applying to URI.
Sullivan is enjoying all of her classes and she's considering joining a few student organizations. However, the one thing she misses while at the school is the exotic and rare fruit that grows in the Philippines.
"We have a lot of different fruits like Rambutan, Durian, Santo! and Lansones, which. I love to eat back home," she said.
When Sullivan finishes college, she wants to return home and help preserve the beautiful marine ecosystem of the Philippines.
For now though, She is focused on her classes, diligently studying and keeping herself grounded academically. Sullivan is very excited to be here and looks forward to her future as a Rhody.
Library From page 2
----
Maslyn said he is excited about the updated and modernized section of the library. This is the first major construction that has occurred in the building since Maslyn took over as the dean in 2006. A wall was put up to block the back section of the main floor, with a sign reading "Great 'big' things are happening behind these walls." On Tuesday morning, a floor plan of the new Learning Commons was placed on the temporary wall.
"All facilities are designed to enhance group as well as individual student activ,fty," Maslyn said.
The new area will include booths similar to those. on the main floor of the Memorial Union.
Also being built are small study rooms, which will be like the ones on the upper floors of the library.
A media practice room will be constructed on the far left side of the room, Maslyn explained. This room will be used to practice presenting multimedia projects. A second small simulated classroom area will be built in the back-right corner of the commons, giving students the opportunity to work on larger group projects.
Also being included are a small group of tables where the
reference desk used to be, as well as a curtained-off space for individual studying. The entire Learning Commons will also be wired for computers and mobile devices, Maslyn added.
He said the new space will be "an area designed for cooperative, student-centered learning."
A new reference desk will be constructed on the left side of the entrance to the commons. In the meantime, employees who worked in the current construction area . have been re-located to the lobby just inside the library's main entrance.
"[It's] nice to be in the lobby, actually," Devin said. She explained that the temporary desks are "more approachable."
Librarian Madge Boldt agreed, calling the current area [pretty friendly opposed to the desk.]
Despite the accessibility of the temporary reference area, Boldt admits that issues may arisefrom the current set-up.
"Starting in mid-October we tend to get a little line," she said, adding that she fears the lines may get in the way of students making their way in and out of the library.
Mimi Keefe, a librarian and professor, still prefers the current location.
"We should be in the traffic pattern," she said. "Visibility is the important thing."
Student Senate discusses recreation fees HENSLEY CARRASCO News Editor
A new fitness facility that will replace the current Roger Williams Commons on Butterfield Road will require more funding to run than previously anticipated by the University of Rhode Island Recreation Services.
In order to cover the funding of the new fitness center, students would be subjected to an increase in recreational fees in their tuition, said Student Senate President David Coates. He said does not support an increase in fees or tuition. In previous years URI's Recreational Services received the recreation fees directly, .but it has now been changed so that the fees are charged to the students' tuition bill, Coates said. He said the changes in the way fees are assessed are cause a for recreational services to have "significantly less" funding. The funding needed would go toward paying for student job positions, staffing the facility and operating costs. Coates said the facility is expected to service about 3,000 students a day and has an estimated cost for the year to be around $1.8 million.
Coates said he encouraged the university to explore other business funds.
"They told me they can't run it off of what they have right now," Coates said. "They're not getting that [$51] fee direc#y. any,more. I think [they're getting] ''"somewhere in the range of $30:"
Coates said students still pay the $51 fee for recreational services, but it "doesn't go to what they're paying for."
The changes, however, would not be reflected immediately. The construction on' the facility . has yet to begin, and Coates has not been given an estimated completion date. If agreed upori., the . changes would reflect the 2013-2014 school year and simultaneously, the 2013 fiscal year.
Coate~> said a survey on the matter will be released by the Student Senate. The survey, to be released using . the online service - Survey Monkey, will poll students for their opinion on the potential increase of recreational fees .
Coates said the need for students to respond to the survey is important because it would be the deciding factor on how he responds to the increase. He currently oppos-
es the increase, but said if students who participate in the survey say they support it, he will "happily support" the students. While asking students their opinions, he was told told that they were "sick of paying more money for [their] education." · Coates plans on meeting with the senate finance committee to further discuss the ·matter.

The Bottom Line: Knuckle pucks, Ducks and th~ greatest 'bad' sports movie ever made BY MIKE ABELSON Sports Staff Reporter
After interviewing Kenan Thompson last weekend after his show as part of the student entertainment committee's welcome week (he's a real nice guy and a huge fan of television), I started reminiscing about my favorite Kenan memories with my suitemates.
After discussing our favorite "All That" sketches (I liked Pierre Escargot and Superdude the best), and all of his characters on "Saturday Night Live" our discussion inevitably turned to Kenan's turn as Russ Tyler in "D2: The Mighty Ducks." After watching "02," I started thinking about the movie as a whole and why a movie, that from a purely moviemaking standpoint is terrible, has become such a beloved cult hit.
Below are five reasons why "02: The Mighty Ducks' is a great film and five reasons why "02: The Mighty Ducks" is an awesomely bad film.
1. It was made in the 1990s, which anyone born in the 1990s will tell you, was one of the most entertaining decades ever. It gave us historic songs such as "Mambo No. 5", "Livin' la Vida Loca," and "Whoomp There it Is," which was featured during the street hockey sequence in "02." In terms of television, it gave us the entire catalog of classic Nickelodeon programs that are still beloved today.
2. The music in the movie
is awesome. 3. Fulton's slap shot, the
Bash Brothers, Mendoza's skating ability and the triple deke.
4. Carsten Noorgard, as the villainous Wolf "The Dentist" Stanson, is far and away the best actor in the movie and perhaps the whole "Mighty Ducks" trilogy. I remember seething with rage when I was younger when he cheap-shoted Gordon Bombay in the knee during their one- · on-one showdown. Even today, I hold contempt for Stanson - that's the sign of a great acting job.
5. "Look out boys .... it's knuckle puck time!"
And now the five reasons why "02" is awesomely bad, with an emphasis on awesome.
1. The turning point of the film, where Team USA comes together, comes during a pickup street hockey game in South Central Los Angeles. I can see pickup street hockey in Minneapolis, where hockey is a way of life, but pickup street hockey in the basketball and football hotbed of southern California is a bit beyond belief.
Also, why does the guy who gets his windshield shattered by an errant puck act so calm and cool about it. I've seen people lose their gumballs after getting a minor ding on the fender. I'd befurious if a bunch of kids broke my windshield playing hockey, but then again, I'm not an
actor. 2. Why does Trinidad and
Tobago have a hockey team? 3. During the final
moments of the ch·ampionship game Tyler and the goalie, Greg Goldberg, somehow switch pads on the ice, in front of an implied full house of over 17,000 people, and yet no one notices?
4. I love the Iceland team, but couldn't a more "menacing" country have been picked? I can understand not using Russia, because every hockey movie seems to have a Russian villain, but a country like Sweden or Finland, which have good hockey histories and have produced numerous NHL' ers would have been a better fit. No offense Gunnar Stahl.
5. Between Julie Gaffney's glove save on Stahl's world famou·s triple-deke and the crowd reaction there was a 13-second gap. I've seen a lot of hockey, and I've never waited for 13 seconds between a goalie's save and realizing what happened. I know it's cinematic license, but still, 13 seconds? Maybe Gunnar should have gone stick side. He might have scored.
In the end, "02" is an amazing movie, even if it does have its flaws . I grew up watching "The Mighty Ducks" movies and no matter what happens I will always quote them, reference them, and cherish them as a part of my childhood.
Women's tennis finishes second in season opener BY BILLY BOWDEN Contributing Sports Reporter
The University of Rhode Island women's tennis team traveled to Fairfield University to participate in the Fairfield Doubles Festival last Saturday.
The team proved its ability by defeating opponents in eight of the 13 matches, which led the Rams to the semifinals. Unfortunately, Quinnipiac University managed to defeat the Rhody women 8-4 in the final match of the competition.
Backed by veteran Head Coach Valerie Villucci (who is entering her 18th season) and the newly elected captain, senior Pam Emery, the team intends to surge through divisional play this year.
When asked about how the team prepared for the season, Villucci said, "The athletes are expected to do their conditioning and competition during the summer as they need to be prepared for competition when they get to campus."
Freshmen Kathleen Uy made her debut for the team, alqng~i!if? PIDE:ff.: Tre pair put on an outstanding performance in the season opener. In the first flight they won three out of their five matches maintain a positive standing for their team, and advanced to the finals.
As .for the captain, Emery, Villucci notes, "Pam will be a wonderful leader. She has the ability and knowledge to help
fellow athletes w ith their game because of the exceptional trainil}g she has received, and her ability to recognize team needs."
Emery is one of the four returning seniors for the team including Michelle Dussol, Kristen Leikem, and Tristany Leikem. The seniors are joined by four underclassmen from which they expect great contributions as well.
In the second flight the Leikem sisters won three out of their four matches, contributing an outstanding effort to the women's team. There was very evenly balanced play throughout all three flights of the competition.
The third flight resulted in two wins out of four matches for the Rhody women, the festival will have certainly helped establish a certain level of confidence within the tea:rp. for the upcoming season.
With a strong season opener, and the complete con~ struction of a new tennis complex at the URI Kingston campus the team will be looking for somethipg ~o prove, as the season progresses.
