Professorrsquos Dreams Fall into Place

About 1000 UA students faculty and staf could lose access to daily parking if the oversold Harmon Ave-nue Parking Garage is closed to all ex-cept yearly permit holders according to the number of parking spaces sold

Transit and Parking Department administrators shut down and then resumed selling parking permits for Harmon last week For the irst time there was a waiting list to buy passes for the garage said Gary Smith the UA Parking director

By Sept 17 Transit and Parking had sold 2480 Harmon parking per-mits for the fall and spring semesters hatrsquos 331 more spaces than the ga-rage has and oicials plan to sell 220 more said Andy Gilbride an educa-tion and instruction specialist for the department

It is routine to oversell Harmon but it is being done in increasingly large numbers Gilbride said In ad-dition to guaranteeing space for all permit holders Transit and Parking also allows approximately 900 hourly parkers into the nine-level structure daily Smith said

To oversell Harmon planners pre-sume that most drivers ndash pass holders and hourly parkers ndash will not use the garage at the same time Smith said In the past this presumption has proved correct but increased enrollment has raised the demand for parking

he student population rose by more than 9 percent from 2011 to 2013 according to the Oice for In-

stitutional Research In that same time the available parking space on campus increased by 13 percent ac-cording to the 2013 Transit and Park-ing Annual Report Still that doesnrsquot necessarily translate into an immedi-ate issue Gilbride said

ldquohe top level of Harmon stays pretty much mostly emptyrdquo he said ldquoSo wersquore ine right now but with the growth of campus more students and more staf that may not be the case in the futurerdquo

he Harmon ninth loor has

166 parking spaces Gilbride said When that loor is full administra-tors will begin regulating access to the garage Smith said With an oversold lot and record enrollment this scenario could be triggered by something as simple as a day of bad

weather However there are also several new building projects likely to afect Harmon parking demand

Twirlers McKinsey Ogden and Emma Lambeth share similar stories of hard work and competing in baton twirling from early ages

he girls are the teamrsquos two feature performers on the line Many of their routines difer from the rest of the twirlers hey are also the twirlers to spin ire at UofA pep rallies

ldquoWhen I was 12 I came to a Ra-zorback game saw the twirlers during their performance with the band and decided I wanted to become a twirler for the UofA somedayrdquo Lambeth said ldquoFrom that point until I graduated high school I practiced almost every day of the week and continued dance classes to work towards achieving this goalrdquo

Lambeth a senior began twirling at the age of 6 and started compet-ing at 9 his is Lambethrsquos fourth year on the twirling line of the Razorback Marching Band and her third year

performing as a feature twirlerShe competed both individually

and with a team growing upldquoI attended local state regional

and national competitionsrdquo she said ldquoCompetitive twirling was the main focus of what I did growing up in ad-dition to twirling with my junior high and high school bands Now my main focus is twirling for the RMBrdquo

Outside of practicing three days a week with the marching band Lam-beth practices on her own every other day of the week She also runs and lits weights during the season to stay in shape

Ogden started twirling when she was 2 and began competing when she was 6 his is her ith year on the twirling line and fourth year as a fea-ture twirler

Before coming to college Ogden would practice between three and six hours a day At the university she reduced her practicing to around two hours a day due to injuries and the demands of schoolwork

Ogden like Lambeth has per-formed in numerous competitions

Her career includes 16 trips to the na-tional championships

ldquohis past July was my inal com-petition as I have now oicially re-tired from competitive twirlingrdquo Og-den said ldquoI am completely humbled and honored to have brought back an eighth place inish in the College Miss Majorette of America portion of nationalsrdquo

Lambeth who also has retired from the sport said she wouldnrsquot be a feature twirler in the RMB without the challenging level of routines and skills she learned while competing for 13 years

While competitive twirling has strict rules on what can and cannot be used in routines Lambeth said twirling for a marching band allows for lexibility

ldquoIrsquom focused on big entertaining tricks that the crowd will notice and appreciaterdquo she said ldquohe goal is to make yourself entertaining enough to where even people in the very top of

Every morning Chris Downey rows the Oakland Estuary with the East Bay Rowing Club before he gets ready for his commute to the University of California Berkeley At his desk Downey gets an idea for a building and reaches for color coated cra sticks and he begins creating a blueprint

Once nished he leaves for home sporting sunglasses and his cane in hand Downey is blind

A er working for 20 years the architect lost his sight af-ter a successful brain tumor surgery in 2008

Downey visited the UA campus Sept 8 to talk about his life since becoming blind and the adaptations he has made to succeed in his pro-fession

He gave advice applicable to all students regardless of their ability

Approximately 19 percent of young adults with a dis-ability enroll in a four-year college or university accord-ing to the Institute of Educa-tion Sciences

Di erent organizations on and around campus mdash including the UA Center for Educational Access SOURC-ES for Community Indepen-

dent Living Services Inc and Life Styles mdash help students with disabilities nd com-munity and independence in Northwest Arkansas

At rst specialists recom-mended Downey pursue oth-er career focuses because they thought he could not design anymore However Downey had enough experience to know that wasnrsquot true

e Americans with Dis-abilities Act of 1990 was creat-ed to prohibit discrimination and ensure equal opportunity and access for people with disabilities

Before the law was passed advocates traveled to Wash-ington DC and staged a dramatic demonstration by crawling up the Capitol steps

One of the advocates was Jennifer Keelan then a sec-ond-grade girl with cerebral palsy She ditched her wheel-chair and climbed the steps using her hands and arms

ldquo ey say it was the image of me climbing those steps that was the nal decision that got the ADA passedrdquo Keelan

said in a YouTube lm clipDowney re ected on dis-

abled peoplersquos determination Once he focused on his other senses Downey began to no-tice nuances about buildings that werenrsquot as obvious be-fore such as reverberation in rooms and how intuitive the design was for blind and dis-abled people he told the UA audience

ldquo erersquos something about focusing on the other senses like smell and touch that make architecture more realrdquo Downey said ldquoIt stops being mostly visual and becomes an immersive experiencerdquo

When drawing structures Downey relied on Wikki Stix a kind of yarn coated in wax to translate his ideas to paper

ldquoI read drawings through touchrdquo Downey said ldquoI re-cover a PDF then print it so the drawing is now touch sensitiverdquo

Another tool Downey used is a computer program that emulates the sound of a person walking on a set path in relation to the structure

ldquoI can listen to the archi-tecture before itrsquos been builtrdquo Downey said

e Center for Educa-tional Access has provided services for students with disabilities for several years Services include note taking assistance golf cart transpor-tation and document conver-sions into Braille or audio-books

For disabled students whose tests require scantron sheets a CEA worker will ll in the answer dictated by the student assistant Hayden Luckenbach said

ldquoIn 2013 74 percent of the students that signed up with CEA had a nonvisible disabil-ity like attention de cit disor-der and post-traumatic stress disorderrdquo said Laura James interim director for the CEA

he UofA was ranked as the seventh fastest grow-ing public school with an increase of 53 percent from 2002 to 2012 according to he Chronicle of Higher Education

he fall enrollment for this year is 26301 with 21903 of those students en-rolled in the undergraduate program according to a UA press release

ldquoWe want to be the uni-

versity for the entire staterdquo said Suzanne McCray vice provost of enrollment and dean of admissions

The target number for the freshman class is 4500 students and this year the university met that goal McCray said

Five years ago enroll-ment for the freshman class was 2900 The freshman class reached the target goal because of an increase in recruiting an increase in faculty as well as the new attractive buildings the uni-versity has to offer McCray said

McCray said she cred-its such growth to the great programs UA officials pro-vide for students Coupled with a beautiful campus the university is appealing to new students The univer-sity has also increased and

expanded scholarship pro-grams

Enrollment numbers de-creased when the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery was re-duced but they have come back up with an increase in scholarships McCray said

ldquoUniversity Relations has done a great job letting peo-ple know whatrsquos going onrdquo McCray said

The UofA has also seen an increase in its graduate program and law school which McCray said she thinks is a result of the fac-ulty The UofA hires faculty with terminal degrees the highest degree in an aca-

demic field of study McCray said

he UofA has also in-creased its inancial endow-ments he university had an increase of nearly 31 percent in donations from 2012-2013 according to he Chronicle of Higher Educa-tion As of last year the UofA received $82 million in en-dowments the largest in the state

More students have moved out of temporary housing and have been assigned to perma-nent residences University Housing staf said

As of hursday there were ive female students living in overlow housing at Hum-phreys Hall said Florence Johnson executive director of University Housing Hous-ing oicials expect the rest of the students to be reassigned by the week of Sept 21-27 Johnson said She did not say where students moved to but said that it was ldquobased on availability of their desired re-locationrdquo

As of Tuesday all students in overlow housing at Yocum had been given permanent assignments and were in the process of moving said Sta-cia Smith a coordinator for residence education in Yo-cum Hall Some of the stu-dents moved to Gregson and Pomfret she said

Students are sent to over-low housing based on on

when they sign their con-tracts Johnson said

ldquoStudents are originally as-signed to overlow based on their contract daterdquo Johnson said ldquoOnce at capacity we have a priority order of ill-ing overlow spaces and then work the reverse for our exit strategyrdquo

What building students live in what loor they are on and where they would like to live can determine what hall they will eventually be moved to Johnson said

What students want or can aford also afects the moving process said Jefery Vinger director of Residential Fa-cilities Studentsrsquo inances can determine which hall they wind up in because of the dif-ferent rates charged for each hall Studentsrsquo scholarships can also afect the process as Housing tries to place stu-dents in the halls they want

Friendships between students can also afect the moving process Vinger said Sometimes students in over-low make friends with other residents in the building and they donrsquot want to break of friendships when itrsquos time for them to move to their new

rooms Housing then tries to accommodate both students

ldquoSo now wersquore not just looking for one bedspreadrdquo Vinger said ldquoNow wersquore look-ing for twordquo

he issue can sometimes be even more challenging when more than two students form friendships and seek to live as a group within the same building Vinger said

For students moving out Housing provides relocation services such as boxes and helpers to assist in moving belongings Vinger said he lodgings in Humphreys were renovated and they provided typical resident room furni-ture and other conveniences such as TVs couches chairs ottomans and carpet

Some students actually requested to stay in Hum-phreys Vinger said Students also elected to stay in Yocum Smith said

ldquohey were a part of the community just like anybody elserdquo she said

Housing will do every-thing possible to give students what they want Vinger said

ldquoWe will bend over back-ward to try to accommodate studentsrsquo desiresrdquo he said

h e UA online network crashed Sept 8 leaving stu-dents faculty and sta across campus without access to the Internet

h ough enrollment at the UofA has skyrocketed in re-cent years reaching 26000 for the rst time the UA core network hasnrsquot been updated since 2008 and is now dealing with a 23 percent increase in overall enrollment said Da-vid Bruce an associate chief information o cer for cam-pus networks

h is delay in technol-ogy advancement has caused problems for the university in the past and was likely a fac-tor in the network crash Sept 8 Bruce said h e network is beginning to feel the growing

pains of increased enrollmentldquoWe didnrsquot get ahead of it

wersquore behind itrdquo he said ldquoBut wersquore moving in the right direc-tionrdquo

A large campus population means the UA network handles a large amount of tra c Traf- c is the data sent and received by those on the network h e crashes last week were caused by ldquobad tra crdquo on the network Bruce said

ldquoh ere was a new vulner-ability in an internet protocol called the Network Time Pro-tocolrdquo Bruce said

Network Time Protocol or NTP is an Internet proto-col that is used to synchronize the clocks of devices such as phones computers and tablets connected to a network ac-cording to the Network Time Foundation website

ldquoA security issue with the protocol was discovered or

lsquofound in the wildrsquo meaning it was a security aw that has been there for a long time and somebody found it and wrote a program to exploit it and that generated a whole bunch of this bad Network Time Protocol tra crdquo Bruce said

h e program written to exploit NTP security is called a denial-of-service attack that generates a high volume of bad tra c on networks accord-ing to the Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Re-sponse Team website

ldquoh is doesnrsquot speci cally impact the wireless but the way it works is that in order for wireless to work there are no fewer than 12 systems that have to be functional behind the wirelessrdquo Bruce said

If one system is down then wireless access is lost on campush e major sources of bad tra c were identi ed and

stopped by the campus net-works Information Technology Services team Bruce said

An information technol-ogy assessment that covered the entire system on the whole campus was completed over the summer Bruce said

ldquoOne of the recommenda-tions was to view the network as a strategic resource and to engage in a more centralized model for fundingrdquo Bruce said ldquoI think the issues last week put a spotlight on it h e upper administration is beginning to take this seriously and we are going to be engaging in strate-gic planning that will discuss how we fund thingsrdquo

What the UofA has in place now did not protect campus from crashing but going for-ward the focus will be on a long-term solution that will protect the UA network Bruce said

Wireless Network Blackouts Cause Problems on Campus

the street from Harmon is scheduled to open by summer 2015 h e nine classrooms and 12 labs will attract hundreds of students and faculty

When the garage does be-gin to reach capacity o cialsrsquo primary concern will be ensur-ing that permit pass holders can park Transit will rely on entrance gate so ware to track the number of pass holders using the garage Smith said If pass holders begin to ll up available spaces the entrance gates will be programmed to refuse drivers who attempt to park and pay hourly Lot Full signs will be posted outside the garage Smith said

Hourly parking will be re-stricted ldquowhenever we feel it is necessaryrdquo Gilbride said add-ing that such an adjustment would likely take place at the beginning of a semester

Tracking cars would place greater reliance on entrance and exit gates to count parkers using Harmon Garage h ose gates use the same Internet network as the rest of the uni-versity and as a result they are also subject to crashes Smith said

Bad network tra c and a hacker-created virus shut down the UA core router Sept 8 said David Bruce associate chief information o cer for campus networks h e crash le drivers unable to use cred-it cards at Harmon exit gates and long lines stretched from the exit gates to the upper lev-els of the garage Smith said

If a similar scenario was to occur while the gates were being used to regulate which drivers were allowed into Har-mon Parking o cials might

have to deal with pass holders arriving at the garage a er it is full

h e network problem that snarled Harmon has been ad-dressed More problems how-ever could arise

ldquoYou canrsquot say wersquore not go-ing to have any more issues because we always dordquo Bruce said ldquoh ese issues we had last week arenrsquot even the worst outage wersquove ever hadrdquo

h e major network struc-ture at the UofA hasnrsquot been updated since 2008 Bruce said

ldquoI think the entire insti-tution everybody is feeling some of the growing pains from the increased enroll-mentrdquo Bruce said

He added that ultimately all UA o cials can do is work to anticipate and avoid the types of network issues that caused problems in Harmon

Parking o cials are also considering more long-term solutions to ease Harmon parking demand Gilbride said

ldquoWe have talked about expanding the garage to the south if neededrdquo he said

h is expansion could come sometime within the next ve years and because Harmon Garage cannot support extra parking levels the addition would be located at the site of several university owned houses on Harmon Avenue Gilbride said

Until then UA students and faculty may have to plan on walking farther

ldquoWe have hundreds of open spaces on campus theyrsquore just not as close to this areardquo Gil-bride said

Ray Ricersquos Punishment Doesnrsquot Fit the Crime

Enough time has passed Tempers over the incident have simmered slightly and now logic nally has an opportunity to make a guest appearance in the Ray Rice case that was re-leased in a shocking video just a few weeks ago

Prior to the videorsquos release NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell received little resis-tance to the the Baltimore Ra-vens running backrsquos mere two-game suspension but when the tape eventually surfaced Rice was handed an inde nite league wide ban

National news commenta-tors launched on a month long tirade to bring up the issue of domestic violence and bash the league at every opportunity for its handling of crimes commit-ted by its athletes But was the truth lost somewhere in the process

Letrsquos start with the initial punishment being given to Ray Rice Many were critical of Ricersquos two-game ban not be-ing close to enough for a case of assault What many people tend to neglect is the monetary impact that those two games cost Mr Rice which most ana-lysts agree is somewhere in the range of $530000 is does not include the cost incurred by legal fees time lost due to inter-nal league punishments such as mandatory attendance to reed-ucation programs as well as the moral costs to his reputation

Also compared to how Goodell handled past incidenc-es of domestic violence Ricersquos punishment was extremely harsh In 2008 Ahmad Brooks was charged with knocking a woman unconscious and sus-pended only one game 2011 Eric Walden felony assault for

punching his own girlfriend one game 2012 Dez Bryant misdemeanor assault on his own mother no suspension To say that Rice got o scot free is both technically and scally just untrue

ere was also a strange campaign by news outlets to paint the NFL as an multi-bil-lion dollar organization built on a strong foundation of woman beating According to the statis-tics based blog Fivethirtyeight famous for predicting the 2012 election most accurately of all pundits the NFL has a much lower rate of domestic violence than the national average In fact the NFLrsquos average arrest rate is only 13 percent of the national average for all crimes To say that the league is full of rampaging thugs acting with-out legal consequence is based purely on prejudice ironically by social justice warriors look-ing to paint them in a negative light for their own agendas

en there was the state-ment released by Ricersquos then -ance and now wife which was all but entirely thrown in the garbage based on the assump-tion that she didnrsquot have the ability to analyze the situation as a victim

Ironically Janay Rice had the clairvoyance to subsequent-ly criticize the media frenzy over the incident and misrep-resentation of the facts in favor of a more favorable narrative complete with sound bites

erersquos more issues here than canrsquot be t into a space of a little more than a 500 word column Questions of Mrs Rice own case of assault where she initiated the violence by attack-ing her husband to be Why ex-actly this factoid was completely ignored rather than Ray Ricersquos response to the incident has to be the most ba ing fact of the case From a legal perspective she too should be charged with assault

But welcome to the age of digital media where the facts are all but assumed and the context doesnrsquot matter

Traveler Quote of the DayTravTr

Daniel McFarlandASG President

ldquoAssociated Student Government Fall Election Results Announcedrdquo

Pg 2

I feel fairly comfortable assuming that most of my readers have at one time or another had experience with Advanced Placement classes

We all did them in high-school not only to bolster our resumeacutes but to come to college with credit and to make sure our mothers all had bumper stickers reading ldquoIrsquom proud of my AP stu-dentrdquo

According to an article recently published in the Northwest Arkansas Times public schools in the area are seeing large increases in the number of students enroll-ing in AP classes

ldquoO cials attribute the success largely to Act 2152 of 2005 which made Arkansas the only state that pays for its studentsrsquo AP tests according to the article Other factors include the addition of more pre-AP classes at the junior-high level and more training for teachersrdquo

is factoid although seemingly small gave birth to an inner monologue that led me to question the col-legiate version of AP class-esmdashthe honors college Is it worth it

More importantly do they make bumper stick-ers that read ldquoIrsquom proud of myself cause Irsquom an honors studentrdquo

According to the Hon-ors College website ldquoHon-ors students enjoy small in-depth classes priority registration special hous-ing increased interaction with faculty and enhanced opportunities for hands-on researchrdquo

at sentence makes enrolling in the honors pro-gram seem absolutely valu-able and may give an answer to the question posed ear-liermdashitrsquos probably worth it

but that doesnrsquot mean I have no qualms

Priority registration alone stands to justify enrolling in the honors program

It seems valuable at least for your time on campus But did all those AP classes in high school actually help you

Did having a more thor-ough knowledge of the Ming Dynasty than a student who took regular history have a long standing impact on your academic future

It may have and it may not

I was accepted to the UA with a good amount of cred-it which I received from AP classes

at was hugely helpful But in real life advanced credit doesnrsquot necessarily ex-ist

And a er you graduate the honors college or the regular one real life is what yoursquore going to get

But perhaps itrsquos unfair of me to judge the college based on a lack of advanced credit

It would be naiumlve indeed to assert that there is no value in being an honors stu-dent

Beyond the things listed above honors students have access to more scholarship money and study abroad op-portunities

I suppose the questions now raised would read something like this Is it fair to o er advanced opportuni-ties to advanced students Are we not all in theory ad-vanced

Are we not in a massive minority based solely on our title as ldquocollege studentsrdquo We are all advanced simply by being here

It bothers me ever so slightly that my place out-side of the honors college represents missed oppor-tunities for more in depth learning or smaller class size

It bothers me that some-one may give me less schol-arship money or that I may have less exposure to the universityrsquos top professors

ose honors should be-long to every single one of us

UofA Should Strive to Provide Educational Bene ts for all Students Not Just for Honors

Private admission con-sulting has become a new trend amongst stressed out parents and students apply-ing for college across the na-tion

Data shows that getting help from these consultants does result in more accep-tances and better test score results but what about all the students that canrsquot a ord to pay for these services

Itrsquos not fair that individu-als with better nances get an upper hand when it comes to applying and getting ac-cepted into the top schools in the nation

In 2013 over 25 per-cent of all college applicants hired a ldquoprivate admissions consultantrdquo according to Ruth Starkman an academic teaching sta member at Stanford University

Many private admission consultants were once ad-missions readers at colleges which gives students an in-sight on what they are par-ticularly looking for

Most of these services base their models and pro-grams around collected data of previous clients that ap-plied and got accepted into

those institutionsOne of the most popular

services thatrsquos booming in the industry is called ink Tank Learning

It was founded by Steven Ma and over 10000 students are using it bringing in rev-enue of more than eighteen million dollars

ey say that about 85 percent of their applicants get into a top 40 college as ranked by US News and World Report

e average cost for a guaranteed admission in the ink Tank program is about forty thousand dollars

atrsquos roughly the cost of a state college undergraduate education

Sure the owners and CEOrsquos of major companies can a ord to pay this for their kids but the average middle class worker canrsquot even imag-ine doubling the cost for their childrsquos college education

A study by the Federal Re-serve released last month said that from 2010 to 2013 the wealth gap among US house-holds widened and in ation-adjusted income fell for all but the richest households

ldquoIn the more recent three-year period median income fell 17 for people without a high school diploma read the report 2 for high school

graduates and 11 for those with some collegerdquo

However there are less ex-pensive services that students can use such as one o ered by the Independent Educational Consultants Association that costs an average of 4000 dollars but even this can be pricey

To even apply to a school students pay hundreds of dollars Most schools require you to make certain scores on the ACT and SAT tests

Each one of these tests charge about y dollars each time you take them and usually students take them multiple times

Other expenses include application fees and visiting fees

Before a student even gets accepted into an institu-tion theyrsquove already spent so much money

A ording these types of private services can be very di cult for the average per-son

ese private services are critiqued by school counsel-ors and teachers because they believe that these businesses take advantage of the mis-conception that what school you go to really makes a dif-ference in your career

ldquoA good counselor helps students and families get

comfortable with the world as it is not how they wish

e world isnrsquot just iviesrdquo said CEO of IECA Mark Sklarow

ldquoCollege is a match to be made not a prize to be wonrdquo said Jim Conroy chair of post-high school counseling at New Trier Township High School

Colleges should be chosen based upon what suits you personally and what you plan to study and want

Most students strive to pick the top schools because they believe itrsquos whatrsquos going to help them in their careers but Denise Pope a senior lec-turer at Stanford disagrees

She says that research shows that in the majority of cases the undergraduate col-lege you attend doesnrsquot play a serious role in your long term careers

Private admissions con-sultants have gured out ex-actly what universities want and charge people outrageous amounts of money in order to give them the answers

is gives a major disad-vantage to all the underprivi-leged students who canrsquot af-ford it

ldquoMaking the Travelerrsquos Journey Worthwhilerdquo

Will Purdy Sta PhotographerUA students Alec DeHaven and Tyler Casey put in last-minute training for the upcoming climbing competition 24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell At 10 am Friday team CaseyndashDeHaven will compete against 149 other two-man teams to see who can climb the greatest number of routes in 24 hours Casey and DeHavenrsquos goal is to reach 150 routes each

At least four students will compete in a rock climbing competition that has climbers from all over the country traveling to Jasper Arkansas to com-pete Sept 24-28

24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell will be at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch in Jasper and is more than a competi-tion ndash it includes camping food music and games Competitors must have a partner and teams have the option of choosing between participating in a 12 or 24 hour event Teams are placed into one of four categories recreational in-termediate advanced and elite Each climbing route is designated a certain number of points based on diiculty level and competitors earn points for

each route they climb he winner is who has earned the most points at the end 24 HHH strives to bring in a well-known professional climber each year Alex Honnold known for climbing large clifs with no rope to protect him if he falls will be at this yearrsquos 24 HHH competition

Senior Andrew Mayes has been rock climbing for six years his is his irst year to compete in 24 HHH

ldquoClimbing to me in general is about communityrdquo Mayes said

Mayes said rock climbing is a life-style to him and something he was inspired to do Being a professional climber is not the goal

Rock climbing by nature is a little scary and it is typical to fall he said

ldquoItrsquos inspiring to face your fears to be the best that you can berdquo he said

Seeing people have enough passion

to push their limits and work toward their goals is a way to get people to do what they love Mayes said

Something that started out as a hobby became more serious recently when Mayes took a trip to Las Vegas to climb at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area here he did tra-ditional climbing which difers from sport climbing in that climbers must place their own gear to protect against falls In sport climbing there are pro-tection and anchor points permanently installed prior to the climb

ldquoherersquos a lot more to it You almost have to take a step backrdquo Mayes said

Traditional climbing made him see the sport in a new light and traditional climbing felt more authentic and genu-ine he said

ldquoTo me it was like going deeper and deeper into a cave With every step

you take you continue to conquer that fearrdquo Mayes said

Mayesrsquo partner for the competition is junior Courtney Blake

ldquoTogether we had the desire to go out and do a bunch of diferent thingsrdquo Mayes said ldquoWe feed of each otherrdquo

Blake works in the Outdoor Con-nections Center assisting rock climbers at the HPERrsquos rock wall She has also led rock climbing trips She said that she and Mayes motivate each other

For Blake rock climbing is still all about having fun She was irst intro-duced to it her freshman year when she lived in Pomfret and her friends con-tinuously invited her to go climbing with them at the HPER

ldquohe environment is so welcoming which is why I think I kept going back freshman yearrdquo Blake said

Mayes said the competition is re-

ally about endurance and that it can be hard to distinguish diiculty levels Some routes can be harder or easier depending on the climberrsquos height or lexibility for example He and Blake are placed in the intermediate division

his is senior Tyler Caseyrsquos third year to compete in 24 HHH His part-ner for the competition is junior Alec DeHaven

ldquoOnce you get into it you donrsquot real-ly want to get outrdquo Casey said ldquoherersquos a whole culture to itrdquo

He became serious about climbing his sophomore year and said he has met some of his best college friends through going camping and climbing together Itrsquos an accepting crowd he said It began as something he wanted to push himself to be better at and evolved into what consumes most of his free time

Competitive Climbers Find Culture and Fun

Alex GoldenStaf Writer

Studying abroad is the quintessen-tial college experience that impacts students in numerous ways Coming from those who have already been involved there is no shortage of en-couragement for their peers to enjoy the opportunity as well

he possibilities seem almost endless for UA students About 800 students studied abroad last year according to Laura Smith gradu-ate assistant for programming who helped organize an honors study abroad event Tuesday Sept 16

ldquoImmersing yourself in another culture has many beneits both aca-demically and socially Being around other languages food belief systems and cultural outlooks adds fresh perspective and unique experience to any majorminorhellip Exposure to people who are diferent from you is what higher education is all aboutrdquo Smith said

Students can travel to any desti-nation as long as that city doesnrsquot have a travel warning Last year study abroad trips were made to 48 diferent countries in six diferent continents according to Chelsea Hodge assistant director of recruit-ment and speaker at the honors study abroad event Trips are avail-able for speciic majors with partner organizations and exchange pro-grams where international univer-sities swap students with the UofA

Studying abroad helps many stu-dents gain higher level credits and real-world experience in their cho-sen ield For many students seeing their chosen major in a diferent cul-ture is eye-opening

Ryan Wendt a pre-med major studied with the popular Health Teams Abroad program in Sweden to gain six credit hours in his upper level classes Seeing the health care system in Europe was important and the program allowed him to spend half his time visiting diferent hospitals and clinics overseas

For Abby Terlouw studying in Belize for three weeks provided an experience she couldnrsquot gain in the classroom Ater taking classes and learning the facts about her engineering major she inally got the chance to go out and apply her knowledge making the experience unquestioningly valuable for her career

Studying abroad does not have to be all business though Students can also study abroad to earn credits in basic core requirements as well as electives

Jill Tyler an anthropology pre-med major attended the well-estab-lished UofA Center in Rome his destination includes a UofA campus that has been ofering classes since 1989 according to the study abroad website Tyler earned her honors art history and Italian credits while in Rome and said she considers loca-tion of the studies a key piece in the study abroad puzzle

ldquoI had the rest of my college ex-perience to get grades and prepare for the MCAT I wanted summer to be for merdquo Tyler said

She advocated strongly for stu-dents to seek out a country that they can spend time exploring geograph-ically and culturally and in the meantime fall in love with During her stay Tyler traveled through nine

diferent countries in two weeks en-joying herself as well as taking care of required courses

he length of a study abroad trip can vary from two weeks to an entire summer or semester While abroad students stay in hotels dorms or in the homes of a local family in their destination country depending on the program Some of the most popular destinations for students last year were Italy England Spain and Belize

Of course funding is an im-portant consideration for study-ing abroad Knowing the price tag ahead of time allows students to ind scholarships and grants to help them along their way

ldquoStudy abroad trips can range pretty broadly in terms of price de-pending on where you go and how

long you stay Summer programs can cost around $5000 while a se-mester at Oxford could cost close to $30000rdquo Hodge said

here are numerous funding op-portunities for UA students Hodge said Federal inancial aid in the form of Pell Grants or loans are available as well as departmental scholarships Many colleges ofer speciic study abroad funding to their students such as the College of Engineering or Walton Honors students can also apply for special funding like the Sturgis Grant Help is available for students via an advi-sor an appointment with the study abroad oice or the study abroad website

While the application process might seem daunting Hodge also shared several tips She advised

looking for several funding oppor-tunities not just one

Students need to provide tran-scripts letters of recommendation and sometimes essays for certain grants or scholarships If an essay is required speciic relatable details about oneself are the most desirable and successful ingredients for suc-cess

ldquoEmployers graduate schools medical schools etc deinitely look for international experiences on stu-dentsrsquo resumes It indicates an open-ness a desire to connect with the world and with people from a difer-ent culture Itrsquos also just an incred-ible amount of fun When you study abroad you are forced out of your comfort zone and what you can ind there can change your liferdquo Hodge said

Adams Pryor Sta PhotographerAfter years of writing Daniel Sutherland rests his arm on top of a published copy of his book Whistler A Life for Artrsquos Sake His book was released in March and focuses on the life and work of the American-born painter James McNeill Whistler

At 12 years old on a school ield trip to the Detroit Institute of Art a boy stood mesmerized by an impressionistic paint-ing of ireworks ldquohe Falling Rocketsrdquo but it would be decades before he satis-ied his boyhood fascination and wrote a biography about the artist behind the American masterpiece James McNeill Whistler

Daniel Sutherland a distinguished professor of history at the UofA began his research on Whistler in 1999 ater a making a career of writing and teaching about the Civil War

Whistler was born in Massachusetts

in 1834 but moved to Paris early in his adult life to begin his career as an artist in Europe He produced 2700 paintings drawings etchings and lithographs

ldquoI was just looking for a new projectrdquo Sutherland said ldquoI wrote mostly about the Civil War and I was honestly tired of writing about the Civil War I always wanted to write a biography and I decid-ed to try my hand at Whistlerrdquo

he research and writing took him 14 years to complete but Sutherland said ldquoWhistler A Life for Artrsquos Sakerdquo became his favorite out of the nine he has writ-ten

ldquoIt is so diferent from what I have been doingrdquo Sutherland said ldquoWhistler is such a character He sees and thinks about the world in ways that are just new

to me At his time he was really stretch-ing the bounds of what he considered proper art and understandable art He was an impressionist before impression-ism came aboutrdquo

Critics gave Sutherlandrsquos biography high praise and many commented on how well he interwove Whistlerrsquos life and art by using letters he wrote his was the irst biography written about Whistler in 20 years and the irst to give equal atten-tion to his life events as it did to his art and technique

ldquoMost of the other biographies about Whistler were written by art histori-ans who are so focused on the art and explaining technique and things like

With all of the advances in technology and the widespread knowledge of English worldwide many English speakers oten ind it diicult knowing what beneits there are in learning a foreign language Studies suggest that within 10 years many universities will discontinue language courses due to their inefectiveness in the professional ield

Learning another language has long term beneits Students at the UofA study-ing a variety of languages have plenty to advise on this issue

Andrew Billingsley junior is studying international relations and Middle East-ern studies with a minor in Arabic

ldquohe Middle East is where the world has deemed important in the current times I got into Arabic for potential gov-ernment and military jobsrdquo Billingsley said ldquoMy hope is to obtain a government position in counter-terrorism and intel-ligence Arabic is absolutely necessary for this due to our nationrsquos interest in that re-gionrdquo

Another student senior Macyn Hunn is in the same Arabic class Intensive Ara-bic III as Billingsley

ldquoI started taking Arabic because my best friend was taking itrdquo Hunn said ldquoAf-ter a while I found that I enjoyed it It has steered the career path I am wanting to go into I might work for a company that is employed by the military or government he way I see it if you know Arabic yoursquore pretty much guaranteed a jobrdquo

Another up-and-coming language is Mandarin Taylor Weiss freshman has had previous experience from high school with Chinese and said she plans on mi-noring in it for her international business major here were many languages to choose from but she chose Chinese

ldquoI originally chose to learn Chinese because I was interested in joining the Navy However once my interest changed towards business I realized how perfect Chinese would be for thatrdquo she said ldquoA large majority of our countryrsquos trade and business is done with China making it highly strategic to become an expert in their language Not to mention that I love the culture Learning it is deinitely chal-lenging but Irsquom enjoying every minute of itrdquo

Alex Webb is a sophomore health nu-trition and hospital major with a minor

in Japanese As a kid he loved watching cartoons like ldquoDragon Ball Zrdquo in Japanese subtitles His interest for that grew into passion and he watched more and more advanced shows

ldquoLast summer I went to study abroad in Japan It was an incredible experience As for my future I am in the military so knowing Japanese will help beneit my marketability and also ofer more beneits now and for future jobsrdquo he said

Webb plans to continue to learn the Japanese language and pursue their cul-ture

he two most commonly studied and known foreign languages in the United States are Spanish and French Students oten wonder how they could beneit from knowing one of these more common lan-guages

Junior Darcie Nixon is a Spanish ma-jor She said her long-term goal in using this degree is to be able to relate better to Spanish-speakers and do mission work overseas

ldquoMy dream job is to be an interpreter for a missionrsquos base or an English teacher for a Spanish-speaking schoolrdquo she said

When asked why she chose Spanish when so many other people know it she said ldquoKnowing Spanish is a good skillset

to have As for it being too common and a waste of time I think itrsquos arrogant to think that learning a new skillset will hinder you Itrsquos better to be a master of something rather than staying stagnantrdquo

Drew Steinbeck a senior and French minor said ldquoPeople donrsquot really realize it but French is one of the biggest business languages in the world right up there with Chineserdquo

Steinbeck is majoring in apparel stud-ies and plans to live in Paris and work in the fashion industry and business He looks forward to being an expert in the French language and combining it with his dream job for apparel

In addition to these languages the uni-versity ofers courses in even more such as Italian Russian German Swahili and the classics which consists of Latin and Greek

It has never harmed anyone to be-come knowledgeable or even luent in a language Not to mention it is fun chal-lenging and always helpful and impres-sive when traveling to a country where you can speak some of the native peoplersquos tongue Its beneits for life and boosting of marketability to the professional ield are reasons enough to consider furthering an education in a foreign language

Not only did 14 years of hard work pay of in the form of a com-pleted and well-praised work of writing Sutherlandrsquos work also be-came part of a PBS documentary ldquoJames McNeill Whistler amp he Case for Beautyrdquo he documentary aired nationally Sept 12 on PBS af-iliates and is available to buy

Sutherland said he was irst ap-proached to help with the docu-mentary in 2005 He was inish-ing his research on Whistler and beginning to write while visiting Cambridge when the producer of the ilm Karen homas contacted him

ldquoSomeone had told Karen about me and that I was one of the peo-ple she needed to talk tordquo Suther-land said ldquoShe asked me if I would be one of the consultants on the script which I agreed to dordquo

Sutherland helped show hom-as around the places Whistler had lived gave hours of interview time and proofed the script for accura-cy Nine years later they arrived at the inished product

ldquohese things take timerdquo Sutherland said ldquoWhen you get down to the end it has to be so precise I remember with the last drat she said lsquoWe have to cut ive seconds Where can we cut ive secondsrsquo It was a challenge in that respectrdquo

Anyone thinking about enter-ing the ield of history must be willing to dedicate years to school Sutherland said

ldquoItrsquos tough nowadaysrdquo Suther-land said ldquoMake sure that is what you want to do that you are will-ing to devote six or seven years to graduate school It takes as much time as it does to become a medical doctor and the inancial rewards are not as great

ldquoBut I am one of those who de-cided that that really was what I

wanted to do And if luck is with you and you stick to it you can re-alize that ambitionrdquo he said

Sutherlandrsquos background in-stilled in him the ambition to pur-sue history speciically the Civil War he said

Although he grew up in Detroit and attended northern schools he said his family originally came from southern farmlands Both sets of grandparents moved in the 1920s to work in the auto shops

ldquohey were always talking about the Civil War and from a south-ern perspectiverdquo Sutherland said ldquoHearing their stories and then attending northern schools and seeing a northern perspective on the war it was always kind of fas-cinated to merdquo

Again it took Sutherland time to realize his fascination could turn into more than an interest It was not until ater his time in the Navy and when he decided to go to graduate school that he decided to pursue history he said

ldquoI always had a boyhood inter-est in historyrdquo Sutherland said ldquoI came back ater my service and there were no jobs teaching so I just decided to go to grad school It was only then really at the age of about 24 that I decided this (being a historian) looked like a possible careerrdquo

Aside from the nine books he wrote Sutherland has edited or co-edited six other books Most of them were focused on the Civil War and 19th century American society He has received more than 40 honors awards and research grants for his work

Sutherland is working on a new book this time about Whistlerrsquos mother who is the subject of one of Whistlerrsquos most famous works

ldquoI have had so much fun writing about Whistlerrdquo Sutherland said ldquoMy new project I am working on is a biography about his mother the famous portrait I am reluctant to leave that world Itrsquos so much funrdquo

COMMENTARY

h e Razorbacksrsquo quick turn-around at er their season open-ing loss to Auburn has turned heads and caught the attention

of national mediaArkansasrsquo improvement is

evident to every person who has tuned in to a game this season If those same people have tuned in to a game featur-ing another SEC West school however they would realize the quick impressive start by Ar-kansas is just par for the course in the division

h e Southeastern Confer-encersquos Western division is sim-ply the best division in all of college football Itrsquos been this way for quite some time and itrsquos not even debatable h e SEC West is practically a Power 5 conference all on its own

What also is not debatable is that the division is at an all-

time high in regards to compet-itiveness from top to bottom

Six of seven schools in the Western division are ranked in the most recent Amway Coaches Poll which was re-leased Sunday Arkansas was the odd man out h e remain-ing six schools were all ranked in the top 18

Mississippi State found its way into the top 25 at er an impressive win in Baton Rouge in front of more than 102000 screaming Cajuns h e Bull-dogs jumped 11 spots to No 16 while LSU fell 10 spots to No 18

Alabama heads the division at No 2 followed by Auburn at No 5 Texas AampM at No 7

and Ole Miss at No 11 It isnrsquot as if Arkansasrsquo performances the past few weeks are going unnoticed however h e Ra-zorbacks considered a bottom feeder in the SEC again this preseason received 17 votes in the Coaches Poll

Teams in the division can-not af ord to take a week of h ere is no overlooking teams or guaranteed wins like in the other so-called ldquotop football conferencesrdquo

h e Big Ten has Illinois Minnesota and Purdue h e Big 12 has Iowa State Kansas and dare I say Texas who is of to a tragically slow start h e Atlantic Coast Conference has Wake Forest Boston College

and Syracuse and the Pac-12 has Washington State and Col-orado to beat up on each week

h e SEC has only Vander-bilt but the Commodores gave No 15 South Carolina all they wanted and more last Satur-day It took a 21-point fourth quarter for the Gamecocks to escape Nashville alive

Kentucky also not a push-over anymore and Arkansas have been the surprises of the SEC thus far Both programs are vastly improved over the teams they i elded a season ago Opponents can no longer deem the schools guaranteed wins

With the current state of the SEC and the Western di-

vision in particular Arkansasrsquo quick start is seen by many as just what they needed to do to keep up Alabama Auburn Texas AampM and the other divi-sion opponents wait for no one Teams have to either get busy winning or be the black sheep of the division

Herersquos a i nal stat to ponder the SEC West is the only divi-sion among Power 5 confer-ences ndash Pac 12 Big 12 Big Ten ACC and SEC ndash to not have a team at or below the 500 mark this season

Arkansasrsquo start to the season is impressive considering low expectations but these days in the SEC West itrsquos just par for the course

Scottie BordelonSports Editor

Arkansasrsquo Quick Start Par for Course in Tough SEC West

h e Razorbacks head to Arlington Texas on Satur-day to take on No 6 Texas AampM in the much anticipated Southwest Classic

h is is the i rst time the game will be played in ATampT Stadium since AampM joined the Southeastern Conference in 2012

h is matchup which dates back to 1903 has a rich ri-valry h e teams stopped their annual matchup in 1991 when Arkansas joined the SEC h e series was renewed in 2009 under the name Southwest Classic and the teams now return to a neutral site ndash the

home of the Dallas Cowboysh e Razorbacks lead the

all-time series record 41-26-3 though AampM has won the last three years h e Aggies (4-0 1-0 SEC) have won all of their games by at least 24 points scoring 163 points so far this season

Some worried about what would happen to the Aggie of ense this season at er los-ing Johnny Manziel Mike Evans and Jake Matthews to the NFL but those fears were quickly put away at er sopho-more quarterback Kenny Hillrsquos record breaking season opener against South Caro-lina

Virtually unstoppable Hill not only broke Manzielrsquos single game passing record

but his 1094 passing yards in the i rst three games also beat Manzielrsquos record of 984 set in 2013 Hill has completed 97 passes for 1359 yards and 13 touchdowns with one inter-ception so far While Hill is a force in the pocket he is also competent on his feet rushing for 106 yards this season

h e Aggiesrsquo passing game is extremely dangerous large-ly in part to the depth of the receiving corps Any receiver on the roster is likely to make a catch making the Aggies in-credibly dii cult to defend

Seven Aggie receivers have more than 100 yards receiving so far this season and nine have caught touchdowns Se-nior Malcome Kennedy has been targeted most this sea-

son putting up 334 yards and a touchdown Josh Reynolds however has made it into the end zone four times and racked up 247 yards receiving

Despite averaging 405 passing yards a game this season the Aggies are 40th nationally in rushing yards averaging 207 a game

Like their receivers the Aggies give playing time to a host of running backs Six dif erent backs have more than 100 yards rushing Trey Williams Brandon Williams James White and Tra Carson see the most carries averag-ing 64 yards per carry col-lectively Carson and Wil-liams lead the team in rushing touchdowns with four each

AampMrsquos dynamic and pow-

erful of ense which was in-credibly dii cult to slow down last year with Evans and John-ny Football looks to be just as hard if not harder to stop this year

On the other side of the ball AampM has allowed only one touchdown in the last three games and is averaging

nearly four sacks a game so far this season

While the Aggies rank sec-ond in the country in points scored with an average of 55 a game Arkansas is third with an average of nearly 49 h e outcome of the game should be determined by whose de-fense can get the most stops

At er a third straight win of more than 20 points it may be hard to i nd nega-tives h ere are certainly a lot of positives to take from the third week of the season but no game has been perfect and the cup-cake schedule is over for the Hogs h ree straight games against top-15 teams are up next With the meat of the schedule looming here is a look at both the good and bad from SaturdayBuy Brandon Allen Pass-ing

All season Bret Bielema has called the passing game ldquothe best kept secret in Fay-ettevillerdquo

h is week fans got a little glimpse of what they could do It wasnrsquot spectacu-lar but it was ei cient Al-lenrsquos 68 percent completion percentage was the highest of his career when throwing 10 or more passes

His 199 passing yards

might not jump of the stats page but both touchdowns were well-thrown balls and Bielema raved about the job Allen did of going through his progression

Seven dif erent Razor-backs caught a pass and that was without Demetrius Wilson who was sidelined with an ankle injurySell Brandon Allen Diving

As much as players love to see their quarterback go all out for the team for the love of God Allen quit div-ing into the end zone

Last seasonrsquos shoulder in-jury against Southern Miss was because of diving into the end zone His shoulder is the key to Arkansas mak-ing a bowl game this season meaning those risky dives arenrsquot something he should be doing

His mobility is a tool and a weapon though He had a key scramble on a third down to keep a drive alive but if Allen is going to run he needs to learn to slide

Razorback Hockey Club Looks to Continue Winning Tradition

son was in 2008 and coach Brian Gallini has headed the Ice Hogs since the 2009-2010 season Since Gallini has been

head coach Arkansasrsquo record is 138-38-2 winning at nearly 80 percent of their games

Last year the Razorback

hockey team went 31-8 in the regular season h ey con-tinued into the postseason and beat Alabama to win the SECHC championship

Much of this success can be attributed to the work eth-ic of the team Gallini said

ldquoOur winning tradition comes from a fundamental belief in the strength of our programrsquos culture ndash a culture that emphasizes the impor-tance of players placing the team before themselvesrdquo Gallini said ldquoSo long as each player buys into our culture and how we do things the scoreboard alongside our overall season record takes care of itselfrdquo

h e team made an appear-ance at nationals last season dropping their opening game

to Adrian College At er the loss Arkansas pummeled Neumann University 14-6 and thumped the University of Central Florida 6-2

h e leading scorer two of the past three seasons was Sundstedt In 2011 he led the team with 25 goals In 2012 he fell short of the teamrsquos top scorer by just three goals but accounted for 39 assists Last season he led the team with 27 goals

Ryan Machos has also been a signi cant player on the team He led the team in goals with 30 in 2012 and was just behind Sundstedt and Marcel Toure with 22 goals in 2013

h e loss of Sundstedt will leave a void in the team and someone will have to take

initiative to become the next scoring leader

ldquoMarty was a special player who contributed an extraordinary amount to the Razorback hockey programrdquo Gallini said ldquoOur team will miss his on-ice skill alongside his of -the-ice leadershiprdquo

However there are new weapons for the Hogs that will help ll his place

Gallini said he expects a lot from new recruits Landyn Howze Matt Robinson and Colin South h ese players are expected to contribute to the of ense immediately

Veterans Machos and For-est Mudgett are projected to continue their of ensive success Meanwhile Oliver Easton will remain a power-ful weapon on defense

ldquoh is yearrsquos team is excep-tionally deeprdquo Gallini said ldquoOn any given night we ex-pect dif erent players to ll the void Martyrsquos departure leavesrdquo

Arkansasrsquo hockey season began against Metro State with two games h e Hogs lost the rst game but won an overtime shootout to win the second game

Arkansas opened confer-ence play against Auburn on Sept 19 winning 29-0 Fol-lowing the loss Auburn elect-ed to forfeit the second game h e blowout score indicates the Hogs may again dominate the SECHC

Next weekend the Razor-backs will travel to Oklahoma to play the Sooners on Friday and Saturday

Replacing Zach Hocker was never going to be an easy task Hocker made long eld goals look ef ortless and may have spoiled Razorback fans

A missed eld goal didnrsquot hurt the Razorbacks against Northern Illinois but an Southeastern Conference game could possibly hinge on a 42-yard eld goal and John Henson needs to make them

In his career Henson is 5-for-7 kicking eld goals which is respectable but the longest of those is just 25 yards Both of his attempts from outside 30 yards were missed

College football has shown that solid eld goal kicking is a must and the Hogs need Henson to step up and knock down a big one later this sea-son

Every morning Chris Downey rows the Oakland Estuary with the East Bay Rowing Club before he gets ready for his commute to the University of California Berkeley At his desk Downey gets an idea for a building and reaches for color coated cra sticks and he begins creating a blueprint

Once nished he leaves for home sporting sunglasses and his cane in hand Downey is blind

A er working for 20 years the architect lost his sight af-ter a successful brain tumor surgery in 2008

Downey visited the UA campus Sept 8 to talk about his life since becoming blind and the adaptations he has made to succeed in his pro-fession

He gave advice applicable to all students regardless of their ability

Approximately 19 percent of young adults with a dis-ability enroll in a four-year college or university accord-ing to the Institute of Educa-tion Sciences

Di erent organizations on and around campus mdash including the UA Center for Educational Access SOURC-ES for Community Indepen-

dent Living Services Inc and Life Styles mdash help students with disabilities nd com-munity and independence in Northwest Arkansas

At rst specialists recom-mended Downey pursue oth-er career focuses because they thought he could not design anymore However Downey had enough experience to know that wasnrsquot true

e Americans with Dis-abilities Act of 1990 was creat-ed to prohibit discrimination and ensure equal opportunity and access for people with disabilities

Before the law was passed advocates traveled to Wash-ington DC and staged a dramatic demonstration by crawling up the Capitol steps

One of the advocates was Jennifer Keelan then a sec-ond-grade girl with cerebral palsy She ditched her wheel-chair and climbed the steps using her hands and arms

ldquo ey say it was the image of me climbing those steps that was the nal decision that got the ADA passedrdquo Keelan

said in a YouTube lm clipDowney re ected on dis-

abled peoplersquos determination Once he focused on his other senses Downey began to no-tice nuances about buildings that werenrsquot as obvious be-fore such as reverberation in rooms and how intuitive the design was for blind and dis-abled people he told the UA audience

ldquo erersquos something about focusing on the other senses like smell and touch that make architecture more realrdquo Downey said ldquoIt stops being mostly visual and becomes an immersive experiencerdquo

When drawing structures Downey relied on Wikki Stix a kind of yarn coated in wax to translate his ideas to paper

ldquoI read drawings through touchrdquo Downey said ldquoI re-cover a PDF then print it so the drawing is now touch sensitiverdquo

Another tool Downey used is a computer program that emulates the sound of a person walking on a set path in relation to the structure

ldquoI can listen to the archi-tecture before itrsquos been builtrdquo Downey said

e Center for Educa-tional Access has provided services for students with disabilities for several years Services include note taking assistance golf cart transpor-tation and document conver-sions into Braille or audio-books

For disabled students whose tests require scantron sheets a CEA worker will ll in the answer dictated by the student assistant Hayden Luckenbach said

ldquoIn 2013 74 percent of the students that signed up with CEA had a nonvisible disabil-ity like attention de cit disor-der and post-traumatic stress disorderrdquo said Laura James interim director for the CEA

he UofA was ranked as the seventh fastest grow-ing public school with an increase of 53 percent from 2002 to 2012 according to he Chronicle of Higher Education

he fall enrollment for this year is 26301 with 21903 of those students en-rolled in the undergraduate program according to a UA press release

ldquoWe want to be the uni-

versity for the entire staterdquo said Suzanne McCray vice provost of enrollment and dean of admissions

The target number for the freshman class is 4500 students and this year the university met that goal McCray said

Five years ago enroll-ment for the freshman class was 2900 The freshman class reached the target goal because of an increase in recruiting an increase in faculty as well as the new attractive buildings the uni-versity has to offer McCray said

McCray said she cred-its such growth to the great programs UA officials pro-vide for students Coupled with a beautiful campus the university is appealing to new students The univer-sity has also increased and

expanded scholarship pro-grams

Enrollment numbers de-creased when the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery was re-duced but they have come back up with an increase in scholarships McCray said

ldquoUniversity Relations has done a great job letting peo-ple know whatrsquos going onrdquo McCray said

The UofA has also seen an increase in its graduate program and law school which McCray said she thinks is a result of the fac-ulty The UofA hires faculty with terminal degrees the highest degree in an aca-

demic field of study McCray said

he UofA has also in-creased its inancial endow-ments he university had an increase of nearly 31 percent in donations from 2012-2013 according to he Chronicle of Higher Educa-tion As of last year the UofA received $82 million in en-dowments the largest in the state

More students have moved out of temporary housing and have been assigned to perma-nent residences University Housing staf said

As of hursday there were ive female students living in overlow housing at Hum-phreys Hall said Florence Johnson executive director of University Housing Hous-ing oicials expect the rest of the students to be reassigned by the week of Sept 21-27 Johnson said She did not say where students moved to but said that it was ldquobased on availability of their desired re-locationrdquo

As of Tuesday all students in overlow housing at Yocum had been given permanent assignments and were in the process of moving said Sta-cia Smith a coordinator for residence education in Yo-cum Hall Some of the stu-dents moved to Gregson and Pomfret she said

Students are sent to over-low housing based on on

when they sign their con-tracts Johnson said

ldquoStudents are originally as-signed to overlow based on their contract daterdquo Johnson said ldquoOnce at capacity we have a priority order of ill-ing overlow spaces and then work the reverse for our exit strategyrdquo

What building students live in what loor they are on and where they would like to live can determine what hall they will eventually be moved to Johnson said

What students want or can aford also afects the moving process said Jefery Vinger director of Residential Fa-cilities Studentsrsquo inances can determine which hall they wind up in because of the dif-ferent rates charged for each hall Studentsrsquo scholarships can also afect the process as Housing tries to place stu-dents in the halls they want

Friendships between students can also afect the moving process Vinger said Sometimes students in over-low make friends with other residents in the building and they donrsquot want to break of friendships when itrsquos time for them to move to their new

rooms Housing then tries to accommodate both students

ldquoSo now wersquore not just looking for one bedspreadrdquo Vinger said ldquoNow wersquore look-ing for twordquo

he issue can sometimes be even more challenging when more than two students form friendships and seek to live as a group within the same building Vinger said

For students moving out Housing provides relocation services such as boxes and helpers to assist in moving belongings Vinger said he lodgings in Humphreys were renovated and they provided typical resident room furni-ture and other conveniences such as TVs couches chairs ottomans and carpet

Some students actually requested to stay in Hum-phreys Vinger said Students also elected to stay in Yocum Smith said

ldquohey were a part of the community just like anybody elserdquo she said

Housing will do every-thing possible to give students what they want Vinger said

ldquoWe will bend over back-ward to try to accommodate studentsrsquo desiresrdquo he said

h e UA online network crashed Sept 8 leaving stu-dents faculty and sta across campus without access to the Internet

h ough enrollment at the UofA has skyrocketed in re-cent years reaching 26000 for the rst time the UA core network hasnrsquot been updated since 2008 and is now dealing with a 23 percent increase in overall enrollment said Da-vid Bruce an associate chief information o cer for cam-pus networks

h is delay in technol-ogy advancement has caused problems for the university in the past and was likely a fac-tor in the network crash Sept 8 Bruce said h e network is beginning to feel the growing

pains of increased enrollmentldquoWe didnrsquot get ahead of it

wersquore behind itrdquo he said ldquoBut wersquore moving in the right direc-tionrdquo

A large campus population means the UA network handles a large amount of tra c Traf- c is the data sent and received by those on the network h e crashes last week were caused by ldquobad tra crdquo on the network Bruce said

ldquoh ere was a new vulner-ability in an internet protocol called the Network Time Pro-tocolrdquo Bruce said

Network Time Protocol or NTP is an Internet proto-col that is used to synchronize the clocks of devices such as phones computers and tablets connected to a network ac-cording to the Network Time Foundation website

ldquoA security issue with the protocol was discovered or

lsquofound in the wildrsquo meaning it was a security aw that has been there for a long time and somebody found it and wrote a program to exploit it and that generated a whole bunch of this bad Network Time Protocol tra crdquo Bruce said

h e program written to exploit NTP security is called a denial-of-service attack that generates a high volume of bad tra c on networks accord-ing to the Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Re-sponse Team website

ldquoh is doesnrsquot speci cally impact the wireless but the way it works is that in order for wireless to work there are no fewer than 12 systems that have to be functional behind the wirelessrdquo Bruce said

If one system is down then wireless access is lost on campush e major sources of bad tra c were identi ed and

stopped by the campus net-works Information Technology Services team Bruce said

An information technol-ogy assessment that covered the entire system on the whole campus was completed over the summer Bruce said

ldquoOne of the recommenda-tions was to view the network as a strategic resource and to engage in a more centralized model for fundingrdquo Bruce said ldquoI think the issues last week put a spotlight on it h e upper administration is beginning to take this seriously and we are going to be engaging in strate-gic planning that will discuss how we fund thingsrdquo

What the UofA has in place now did not protect campus from crashing but going for-ward the focus will be on a long-term solution that will protect the UA network Bruce said

Wireless Network Blackouts Cause Problems on Campus

the street from Harmon is scheduled to open by summer 2015 h e nine classrooms and 12 labs will attract hundreds of students and faculty

When the garage does be-gin to reach capacity o cialsrsquo primary concern will be ensur-ing that permit pass holders can park Transit will rely on entrance gate so ware to track the number of pass holders using the garage Smith said If pass holders begin to ll up available spaces the entrance gates will be programmed to refuse drivers who attempt to park and pay hourly Lot Full signs will be posted outside the garage Smith said

Hourly parking will be re-stricted ldquowhenever we feel it is necessaryrdquo Gilbride said add-ing that such an adjustment would likely take place at the beginning of a semester

Tracking cars would place greater reliance on entrance and exit gates to count parkers using Harmon Garage h ose gates use the same Internet network as the rest of the uni-versity and as a result they are also subject to crashes Smith said

Bad network tra c and a hacker-created virus shut down the UA core router Sept 8 said David Bruce associate chief information o cer for campus networks h e crash le drivers unable to use cred-it cards at Harmon exit gates and long lines stretched from the exit gates to the upper lev-els of the garage Smith said

If a similar scenario was to occur while the gates were being used to regulate which drivers were allowed into Har-mon Parking o cials might

have to deal with pass holders arriving at the garage a er it is full

h e network problem that snarled Harmon has been ad-dressed More problems how-ever could arise

ldquoYou canrsquot say wersquore not go-ing to have any more issues because we always dordquo Bruce said ldquoh ese issues we had last week arenrsquot even the worst outage wersquove ever hadrdquo

h e major network struc-ture at the UofA hasnrsquot been updated since 2008 Bruce said

ldquoI think the entire insti-tution everybody is feeling some of the growing pains from the increased enroll-mentrdquo Bruce said

He added that ultimately all UA o cials can do is work to anticipate and avoid the types of network issues that caused problems in Harmon

Parking o cials are also considering more long-term solutions to ease Harmon parking demand Gilbride said

ldquoWe have talked about expanding the garage to the south if neededrdquo he said

h is expansion could come sometime within the next ve years and because Harmon Garage cannot support extra parking levels the addition would be located at the site of several university owned houses on Harmon Avenue Gilbride said

Until then UA students and faculty may have to plan on walking farther

ldquoWe have hundreds of open spaces on campus theyrsquore just not as close to this areardquo Gil-bride said

Ray Ricersquos Punishment Doesnrsquot Fit the Crime

Enough time has passed Tempers over the incident have simmered slightly and now logic nally has an opportunity to make a guest appearance in the Ray Rice case that was re-leased in a shocking video just a few weeks ago

Prior to the videorsquos release NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell received little resis-tance to the the Baltimore Ra-vens running backrsquos mere two-game suspension but when the tape eventually surfaced Rice was handed an inde nite league wide ban

National news commenta-tors launched on a month long tirade to bring up the issue of domestic violence and bash the league at every opportunity for its handling of crimes commit-ted by its athletes But was the truth lost somewhere in the process

Letrsquos start with the initial punishment being given to Ray Rice Many were critical of Ricersquos two-game ban not be-ing close to enough for a case of assault What many people tend to neglect is the monetary impact that those two games cost Mr Rice which most ana-lysts agree is somewhere in the range of $530000 is does not include the cost incurred by legal fees time lost due to inter-nal league punishments such as mandatory attendance to reed-ucation programs as well as the moral costs to his reputation

Also compared to how Goodell handled past incidenc-es of domestic violence Ricersquos punishment was extremely harsh In 2008 Ahmad Brooks was charged with knocking a woman unconscious and sus-pended only one game 2011 Eric Walden felony assault for

punching his own girlfriend one game 2012 Dez Bryant misdemeanor assault on his own mother no suspension To say that Rice got o scot free is both technically and scally just untrue

ere was also a strange campaign by news outlets to paint the NFL as an multi-bil-lion dollar organization built on a strong foundation of woman beating According to the statis-tics based blog Fivethirtyeight famous for predicting the 2012 election most accurately of all pundits the NFL has a much lower rate of domestic violence than the national average In fact the NFLrsquos average arrest rate is only 13 percent of the national average for all crimes To say that the league is full of rampaging thugs acting with-out legal consequence is based purely on prejudice ironically by social justice warriors look-ing to paint them in a negative light for their own agendas

en there was the state-ment released by Ricersquos then -ance and now wife which was all but entirely thrown in the garbage based on the assump-tion that she didnrsquot have the ability to analyze the situation as a victim

Ironically Janay Rice had the clairvoyance to subsequent-ly criticize the media frenzy over the incident and misrep-resentation of the facts in favor of a more favorable narrative complete with sound bites

erersquos more issues here than canrsquot be t into a space of a little more than a 500 word column Questions of Mrs Rice own case of assault where she initiated the violence by attack-ing her husband to be Why ex-actly this factoid was completely ignored rather than Ray Ricersquos response to the incident has to be the most ba ing fact of the case From a legal perspective she too should be charged with assault

But welcome to the age of digital media where the facts are all but assumed and the context doesnrsquot matter

Traveler Quote of the DayTravTr

Daniel McFarlandASG President

ldquoAssociated Student Government Fall Election Results Announcedrdquo

Pg 2

I feel fairly comfortable assuming that most of my readers have at one time or another had experience with Advanced Placement classes

We all did them in high-school not only to bolster our resumeacutes but to come to college with credit and to make sure our mothers all had bumper stickers reading ldquoIrsquom proud of my AP stu-dentrdquo

According to an article recently published in the Northwest Arkansas Times public schools in the area are seeing large increases in the number of students enroll-ing in AP classes

ldquoO cials attribute the success largely to Act 2152 of 2005 which made Arkansas the only state that pays for its studentsrsquo AP tests according to the article Other factors include the addition of more pre-AP classes at the junior-high level and more training for teachersrdquo

is factoid although seemingly small gave birth to an inner monologue that led me to question the col-legiate version of AP class-esmdashthe honors college Is it worth it

More importantly do they make bumper stick-ers that read ldquoIrsquom proud of myself cause Irsquom an honors studentrdquo

According to the Hon-ors College website ldquoHon-ors students enjoy small in-depth classes priority registration special hous-ing increased interaction with faculty and enhanced opportunities for hands-on researchrdquo

at sentence makes enrolling in the honors pro-gram seem absolutely valu-able and may give an answer to the question posed ear-liermdashitrsquos probably worth it

but that doesnrsquot mean I have no qualms

Priority registration alone stands to justify enrolling in the honors program

It seems valuable at least for your time on campus But did all those AP classes in high school actually help you

Did having a more thor-ough knowledge of the Ming Dynasty than a student who took regular history have a long standing impact on your academic future

It may have and it may not

I was accepted to the UA with a good amount of cred-it which I received from AP classes

at was hugely helpful But in real life advanced credit doesnrsquot necessarily ex-ist

And a er you graduate the honors college or the regular one real life is what yoursquore going to get

But perhaps itrsquos unfair of me to judge the college based on a lack of advanced credit

It would be naiumlve indeed to assert that there is no value in being an honors stu-dent

Beyond the things listed above honors students have access to more scholarship money and study abroad op-portunities

I suppose the questions now raised would read something like this Is it fair to o er advanced opportuni-ties to advanced students Are we not all in theory ad-vanced

Are we not in a massive minority based solely on our title as ldquocollege studentsrdquo We are all advanced simply by being here

It bothers me ever so slightly that my place out-side of the honors college represents missed oppor-tunities for more in depth learning or smaller class size

It bothers me that some-one may give me less schol-arship money or that I may have less exposure to the universityrsquos top professors

ose honors should be-long to every single one of us

UofA Should Strive to Provide Educational Bene ts for all Students Not Just for Honors

Private admission con-sulting has become a new trend amongst stressed out parents and students apply-ing for college across the na-tion

Data shows that getting help from these consultants does result in more accep-tances and better test score results but what about all the students that canrsquot a ord to pay for these services

Itrsquos not fair that individu-als with better nances get an upper hand when it comes to applying and getting ac-cepted into the top schools in the nation

In 2013 over 25 per-cent of all college applicants hired a ldquoprivate admissions consultantrdquo according to Ruth Starkman an academic teaching sta member at Stanford University

Many private admission consultants were once ad-missions readers at colleges which gives students an in-sight on what they are par-ticularly looking for

Most of these services base their models and pro-grams around collected data of previous clients that ap-plied and got accepted into

those institutionsOne of the most popular

services thatrsquos booming in the industry is called ink Tank Learning

It was founded by Steven Ma and over 10000 students are using it bringing in rev-enue of more than eighteen million dollars

ey say that about 85 percent of their applicants get into a top 40 college as ranked by US News and World Report

e average cost for a guaranteed admission in the ink Tank program is about forty thousand dollars

atrsquos roughly the cost of a state college undergraduate education

Sure the owners and CEOrsquos of major companies can a ord to pay this for their kids but the average middle class worker canrsquot even imag-ine doubling the cost for their childrsquos college education

A study by the Federal Re-serve released last month said that from 2010 to 2013 the wealth gap among US house-holds widened and in ation-adjusted income fell for all but the richest households

ldquoIn the more recent three-year period median income fell 17 for people without a high school diploma read the report 2 for high school

graduates and 11 for those with some collegerdquo

However there are less ex-pensive services that students can use such as one o ered by the Independent Educational Consultants Association that costs an average of 4000 dollars but even this can be pricey

To even apply to a school students pay hundreds of dollars Most schools require you to make certain scores on the ACT and SAT tests

Each one of these tests charge about y dollars each time you take them and usually students take them multiple times

Other expenses include application fees and visiting fees

Before a student even gets accepted into an institu-tion theyrsquove already spent so much money

A ording these types of private services can be very di cult for the average per-son

ese private services are critiqued by school counsel-ors and teachers because they believe that these businesses take advantage of the mis-conception that what school you go to really makes a dif-ference in your career

ldquoA good counselor helps students and families get

comfortable with the world as it is not how they wish

e world isnrsquot just iviesrdquo said CEO of IECA Mark Sklarow

ldquoCollege is a match to be made not a prize to be wonrdquo said Jim Conroy chair of post-high school counseling at New Trier Township High School

Colleges should be chosen based upon what suits you personally and what you plan to study and want

Most students strive to pick the top schools because they believe itrsquos whatrsquos going to help them in their careers but Denise Pope a senior lec-turer at Stanford disagrees

She says that research shows that in the majority of cases the undergraduate col-lege you attend doesnrsquot play a serious role in your long term careers

Private admissions con-sultants have gured out ex-actly what universities want and charge people outrageous amounts of money in order to give them the answers

is gives a major disad-vantage to all the underprivi-leged students who canrsquot af-ford it

each route they climb he winner is who has earned the most points at the end 24 HHH strives to bring in a well-known professional climber each year Alex Honnold known for climbing large clifs with no rope to protect him if he falls will be at this yearrsquos 24 HHH competition

Senior Andrew Mayes has been rock climbing for six years his is his irst year to compete in 24 HHH

ldquoClimbing to me in general is about communityrdquo Mayes said

Mayes said rock climbing is a life-style to him and something he was inspired to do Being a professional climber is not the goal

Rock climbing by nature is a little scary and it is typical to fall he said

ldquoItrsquos inspiring to face your fears to be the best that you can berdquo he said

Seeing people have enough passion

to push their limits and work toward their goals is a way to get people to do what they love Mayes said

Something that started out as a hobby became more serious recently when Mayes took a trip to Las Vegas to climb at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area here he did tra-ditional climbing which difers from sport climbing in that climbers must place their own gear to protect against falls In sport climbing there are pro-tection and anchor points permanently installed prior to the climb

ldquoherersquos a lot more to it You almost have to take a step backrdquo Mayes said

Traditional climbing made him see the sport in a new light and traditional climbing felt more authentic and genu-ine he said

ldquoTo me it was like going deeper and deeper into a cave With every step

you take you continue to conquer that fearrdquo Mayes said

Mayesrsquo partner for the competition is junior Courtney Blake

ldquoTogether we had the desire to go out and do a bunch of diferent thingsrdquo Mayes said ldquoWe feed of each otherrdquo

Blake works in the Outdoor Con-nections Center assisting rock climbers at the HPERrsquos rock wall She has also led rock climbing trips She said that she and Mayes motivate each other

For Blake rock climbing is still all about having fun She was irst intro-duced to it her freshman year when she lived in Pomfret and her friends con-tinuously invited her to go climbing with them at the HPER

ldquohe environment is so welcoming which is why I think I kept going back freshman yearrdquo Blake said

Mayes said the competition is re-

ally about endurance and that it can be hard to distinguish diiculty levels Some routes can be harder or easier depending on the climberrsquos height or lexibility for example He and Blake are placed in the intermediate division

his is senior Tyler Caseyrsquos third year to compete in 24 HHH His part-ner for the competition is junior Alec DeHaven

ldquoOnce you get into it you donrsquot real-ly want to get outrdquo Casey said ldquoherersquos a whole culture to itrdquo

He became serious about climbing his sophomore year and said he has met some of his best college friends through going camping and climbing together Itrsquos an accepting crowd he said It began as something he wanted to push himself to be better at and evolved into what consumes most of his free time

Competitive Climbers Find Culture and Fun

Alex GoldenStaf Writer

Studying abroad is the quintessen-tial college experience that impacts students in numerous ways Coming from those who have already been involved there is no shortage of en-couragement for their peers to enjoy the opportunity as well

he possibilities seem almost endless for UA students About 800 students studied abroad last year according to Laura Smith gradu-ate assistant for programming who helped organize an honors study abroad event Tuesday Sept 16

ldquoImmersing yourself in another culture has many beneits both aca-demically and socially Being around other languages food belief systems and cultural outlooks adds fresh perspective and unique experience to any majorminorhellip Exposure to people who are diferent from you is what higher education is all aboutrdquo Smith said

Students can travel to any desti-nation as long as that city doesnrsquot have a travel warning Last year study abroad trips were made to 48 diferent countries in six diferent continents according to Chelsea Hodge assistant director of recruit-ment and speaker at the honors study abroad event Trips are avail-able for speciic majors with partner organizations and exchange pro-grams where international univer-sities swap students with the UofA

Studying abroad helps many stu-dents gain higher level credits and real-world experience in their cho-sen ield For many students seeing their chosen major in a diferent cul-ture is eye-opening

Ryan Wendt a pre-med major studied with the popular Health Teams Abroad program in Sweden to gain six credit hours in his upper level classes Seeing the health care system in Europe was important and the program allowed him to spend half his time visiting diferent hospitals and clinics overseas

For Abby Terlouw studying in Belize for three weeks provided an experience she couldnrsquot gain in the classroom Ater taking classes and learning the facts about her engineering major she inally got the chance to go out and apply her knowledge making the experience unquestioningly valuable for her career

Studying abroad does not have to be all business though Students can also study abroad to earn credits in basic core requirements as well as electives

Jill Tyler an anthropology pre-med major attended the well-estab-lished UofA Center in Rome his destination includes a UofA campus that has been ofering classes since 1989 according to the study abroad website Tyler earned her honors art history and Italian credits while in Rome and said she considers loca-tion of the studies a key piece in the study abroad puzzle

ldquoI had the rest of my college ex-perience to get grades and prepare for the MCAT I wanted summer to be for merdquo Tyler said

She advocated strongly for stu-dents to seek out a country that they can spend time exploring geograph-ically and culturally and in the meantime fall in love with During her stay Tyler traveled through nine

diferent countries in two weeks en-joying herself as well as taking care of required courses

he length of a study abroad trip can vary from two weeks to an entire summer or semester While abroad students stay in hotels dorms or in the homes of a local family in their destination country depending on the program Some of the most popular destinations for students last year were Italy England Spain and Belize

Of course funding is an im-portant consideration for study-ing abroad Knowing the price tag ahead of time allows students to ind scholarships and grants to help them along their way

ldquoStudy abroad trips can range pretty broadly in terms of price de-pending on where you go and how

long you stay Summer programs can cost around $5000 while a se-mester at Oxford could cost close to $30000rdquo Hodge said

here are numerous funding op-portunities for UA students Hodge said Federal inancial aid in the form of Pell Grants or loans are available as well as departmental scholarships Many colleges ofer speciic study abroad funding to their students such as the College of Engineering or Walton Honors students can also apply for special funding like the Sturgis Grant Help is available for students via an advi-sor an appointment with the study abroad oice or the study abroad website

While the application process might seem daunting Hodge also shared several tips She advised

looking for several funding oppor-tunities not just one

Students need to provide tran-scripts letters of recommendation and sometimes essays for certain grants or scholarships If an essay is required speciic relatable details about oneself are the most desirable and successful ingredients for suc-cess

ldquoEmployers graduate schools medical schools etc deinitely look for international experiences on stu-dentsrsquo resumes It indicates an open-ness a desire to connect with the world and with people from a difer-ent culture Itrsquos also just an incred-ible amount of fun When you study abroad you are forced out of your comfort zone and what you can ind there can change your liferdquo Hodge said

Adams Pryor Sta PhotographerAfter years of writing Daniel Sutherland rests his arm on top of a published copy of his book Whistler A Life for Artrsquos Sake His book was released in March and focuses on the life and work of the American-born painter James McNeill Whistler

At 12 years old on a school ield trip to the Detroit Institute of Art a boy stood mesmerized by an impressionistic paint-ing of ireworks ldquohe Falling Rocketsrdquo but it would be decades before he satis-ied his boyhood fascination and wrote a biography about the artist behind the American masterpiece James McNeill Whistler

Daniel Sutherland a distinguished professor of history at the UofA began his research on Whistler in 1999 ater a making a career of writing and teaching about the Civil War

Whistler was born in Massachusetts

in 1834 but moved to Paris early in his adult life to begin his career as an artist in Europe He produced 2700 paintings drawings etchings and lithographs

ldquoI was just looking for a new projectrdquo Sutherland said ldquoI wrote mostly about the Civil War and I was honestly tired of writing about the Civil War I always wanted to write a biography and I decid-ed to try my hand at Whistlerrdquo

he research and writing took him 14 years to complete but Sutherland said ldquoWhistler A Life for Artrsquos Sakerdquo became his favorite out of the nine he has writ-ten

ldquoIt is so diferent from what I have been doingrdquo Sutherland said ldquoWhistler is such a character He sees and thinks about the world in ways that are just new

to me At his time he was really stretch-ing the bounds of what he considered proper art and understandable art He was an impressionist before impression-ism came aboutrdquo

Critics gave Sutherlandrsquos biography high praise and many commented on how well he interwove Whistlerrsquos life and art by using letters he wrote his was the irst biography written about Whistler in 20 years and the irst to give equal atten-tion to his life events as it did to his art and technique

ldquoMost of the other biographies about Whistler were written by art histori-ans who are so focused on the art and explaining technique and things like

Childhood Dreams Fall Into Place for Distinguished History ProfessorAshton EleyStaf Writer

With all of the advances in technology and the widespread knowledge of English worldwide many English speakers oten ind it diicult knowing what beneits there are in learning a foreign language Studies suggest that within 10 years many universities will discontinue language courses due to their inefectiveness in the professional ield

Learning another language has long term beneits Students at the UofA study-ing a variety of languages have plenty to advise on this issue

Andrew Billingsley junior is studying international relations and Middle East-ern studies with a minor in Arabic

ldquohe Middle East is where the world has deemed important in the current times I got into Arabic for potential gov-ernment and military jobsrdquo Billingsley said ldquoMy hope is to obtain a government position in counter-terrorism and intel-ligence Arabic is absolutely necessary for this due to our nationrsquos interest in that re-gionrdquo

Another student senior Macyn Hunn is in the same Arabic class Intensive Ara-bic III as Billingsley

ldquoI started taking Arabic because my best friend was taking itrdquo Hunn said ldquoAf-ter a while I found that I enjoyed it It has steered the career path I am wanting to go into I might work for a company that is employed by the military or government he way I see it if you know Arabic yoursquore pretty much guaranteed a jobrdquo

Another up-and-coming language is Mandarin Taylor Weiss freshman has had previous experience from high school with Chinese and said she plans on mi-noring in it for her international business major here were many languages to choose from but she chose Chinese

ldquoI originally chose to learn Chinese because I was interested in joining the Navy However once my interest changed towards business I realized how perfect Chinese would be for thatrdquo she said ldquoA large majority of our countryrsquos trade and business is done with China making it highly strategic to become an expert in their language Not to mention that I love the culture Learning it is deinitely chal-lenging but Irsquom enjoying every minute of itrdquo

Alex Webb is a sophomore health nu-trition and hospital major with a minor

in Japanese As a kid he loved watching cartoons like ldquoDragon Ball Zrdquo in Japanese subtitles His interest for that grew into passion and he watched more and more advanced shows

ldquoLast summer I went to study abroad in Japan It was an incredible experience As for my future I am in the military so knowing Japanese will help beneit my marketability and also ofer more beneits now and for future jobsrdquo he said

Webb plans to continue to learn the Japanese language and pursue their cul-ture

he two most commonly studied and known foreign languages in the United States are Spanish and French Students oten wonder how they could beneit from knowing one of these more common lan-guages

Junior Darcie Nixon is a Spanish ma-jor She said her long-term goal in using this degree is to be able to relate better to Spanish-speakers and do mission work overseas

ldquoMy dream job is to be an interpreter for a missionrsquos base or an English teacher for a Spanish-speaking schoolrdquo she said

When asked why she chose Spanish when so many other people know it she said ldquoKnowing Spanish is a good skillset

to have As for it being too common and a waste of time I think itrsquos arrogant to think that learning a new skillset will hinder you Itrsquos better to be a master of something rather than staying stagnantrdquo

Drew Steinbeck a senior and French minor said ldquoPeople donrsquot really realize it but French is one of the biggest business languages in the world right up there with Chineserdquo

Steinbeck is majoring in apparel stud-ies and plans to live in Paris and work in the fashion industry and business He looks forward to being an expert in the French language and combining it with his dream job for apparel

In addition to these languages the uni-versity ofers courses in even more such as Italian Russian German Swahili and the classics which consists of Latin and Greek

It has never harmed anyone to be-come knowledgeable or even luent in a language Not to mention it is fun chal-lenging and always helpful and impres-sive when traveling to a country where you can speak some of the native peoplersquos tongue Its beneits for life and boosting of marketability to the professional ield are reasons enough to consider furthering an education in a foreign language

Ogden said she agreed that collegiate twirl-ing is all about pleasing the crowd

ldquoMy main goal is to be an entertainer on the eld I have the opportunity to do whatever I pleaserdquo she said ldquoIt is more like a freestyle compared to the competitive twirling stylerdquo

Both girls said their time performing for the UofA has been an incredible journey

ldquoe RMB is an amazing organizationrdquo Og-den said ldquoere is nothing better than spending game day with the Razorback Marching Band Performing pregame and haltime are absolute highlights of my years in college so farrdquo

Lambeth also said she enjoys the camara-derie that comes with being on a team of nine other twirlers

ldquoIrsquove met many wonderful friends and enjoy the atmosphere that all of the band members

bring to practices and game daysrdquo she said ldquohe RMB is full of members who are passion-ate and positive about what they do which is a great environment to be a part ofrdquo

Coaching is something Lambeth and Ogden both see in their futures

ldquoBaton twirling is a sport that has taught me so much about goal setting hard work determination and teamworkrdquo Lambeth said ldquohrough coaching I would be able to pass these skills down to younger twirlers and hope-fully help them receive college scholarships someday toordquo

Ogden who has been teaching since the age of 13 is currently working to achieve all her re-quirements to become a judge for the sport She said she looks to gain more students now that she is retired from competing

ldquoI hope to continue teaching until I canrsquot anymorerdquo she said ldquoI would also like to receive my judging license in the next few yearsrdquo

that that they kind of skim over his life and the events in his life that really explain much of the art and the directions he tookrdquo Sutherland said

Not only did 14 years of hard work pay of in the form of a com-pleted and well-praised work of writing Sutherlandrsquos work also be-came part of a PBS documentary ldquoJames McNeill Whistler amp he Case for Beautyrdquo he documentary aired nationally Sept 12 on PBS af-iliates and is available to buy

Sutherland said he was irst ap-proached to help with the docu-mentary in 2005 He was inish-ing his research on Whistler and beginning to write while visiting Cambridge when the producer of the ilm Karen homas contacted him

ldquoSomeone had told Karen about me and that I was one of the peo-ple she needed to talk tordquo Suther-land said ldquoShe asked me if I would be one of the consultants on the script which I agreed to dordquo

Sutherland helped show hom-as around the places Whistler had lived gave hours of interview time and proofed the script for accura-cy Nine years later they arrived at the inished product

ldquohese things take timerdquo Sutherland said ldquoWhen you get down to the end it has to be so precise I remember with the last drat she said lsquoWe have to cut ive seconds Where can we cut ive secondsrsquo It was a challenge in that respectrdquo

Anyone thinking about enter-ing the ield of history must be willing to dedicate years to school Sutherland said

ldquoItrsquos tough nowadaysrdquo Suther-land said ldquoMake sure that is what you want to do that you are will-ing to devote six or seven years to graduate school It takes as much time as it does to become a medical doctor and the inancial rewards are not as great

ldquoBut I am one of those who de-cided that that really was what I

wanted to do And if luck is with you and you stick to it you can re-alize that ambitionrdquo he said

Sutherlandrsquos background in-stilled in him the ambition to pur-sue history speciically the Civil War he said

Although he grew up in Detroit and attended northern schools he said his family originally came from southern farmlands Both sets of grandparents moved in the 1920s to work in the auto shops

ldquohey were always talking about the Civil War and from a south-ern perspectiverdquo Sutherland said ldquoHearing their stories and then attending northern schools and seeing a northern perspective on the war it was always kind of fas-cinated to merdquo

Again it took Sutherland time to realize his fascination could turn into more than an interest It was not until ater his time in the Navy and when he decided to go to graduate school that he decided to pursue history he said

ldquoI always had a boyhood inter-est in historyrdquo Sutherland said ldquoI came back ater my service and there were no jobs teaching so I just decided to go to grad school It was only then really at the age of about 24 that I decided this (being a historian) looked like a possible careerrdquo

Aside from the nine books he wrote Sutherland has edited or co-edited six other books Most of them were focused on the Civil War and 19th century American society He has received more than 40 honors awards and research grants for his work

Sutherland is working on a new book this time about Whistlerrsquos mother who is the subject of one of Whistlerrsquos most famous works

ldquoI have had so much fun writing about Whistlerrdquo Sutherland said ldquoMy new project I am working on is a biography about his mother the famous portrait I am reluctant to leave that world Itrsquos so much funrdquo

COMMENTARY

h e Razorbacksrsquo quick turn-around at er their season open-ing loss to Auburn has turned heads and caught the attention

of national mediaArkansasrsquo improvement is

evident to every person who has tuned in to a game this season If those same people have tuned in to a game featur-ing another SEC West school however they would realize the quick impressive start by Ar-kansas is just par for the course in the division

h e Southeastern Confer-encersquos Western division is sim-ply the best division in all of college football Itrsquos been this way for quite some time and itrsquos not even debatable h e SEC West is practically a Power 5 conference all on its own

What also is not debatable is that the division is at an all-

time high in regards to compet-itiveness from top to bottom

Six of seven schools in the Western division are ranked in the most recent Amway Coaches Poll which was re-leased Sunday Arkansas was the odd man out h e remain-ing six schools were all ranked in the top 18

Mississippi State found its way into the top 25 at er an impressive win in Baton Rouge in front of more than 102000 screaming Cajuns h e Bull-dogs jumped 11 spots to No 16 while LSU fell 10 spots to No 18

Alabama heads the division at No 2 followed by Auburn at No 5 Texas AampM at No 7

and Ole Miss at No 11 It isnrsquot as if Arkansasrsquo performances the past few weeks are going unnoticed however h e Ra-zorbacks considered a bottom feeder in the SEC again this preseason received 17 votes in the Coaches Poll

Teams in the division can-not af ord to take a week of h ere is no overlooking teams or guaranteed wins like in the other so-called ldquotop football conferencesrdquo

h e Big Ten has Illinois Minnesota and Purdue h e Big 12 has Iowa State Kansas and dare I say Texas who is of to a tragically slow start h e Atlantic Coast Conference has Wake Forest Boston College

and Syracuse and the Pac-12 has Washington State and Col-orado to beat up on each week

h e SEC has only Vander-bilt but the Commodores gave No 15 South Carolina all they wanted and more last Satur-day It took a 21-point fourth quarter for the Gamecocks to escape Nashville alive

Kentucky also not a push-over anymore and Arkansas have been the surprises of the SEC thus far Both programs are vastly improved over the teams they i elded a season ago Opponents can no longer deem the schools guaranteed wins

With the current state of the SEC and the Western di-

vision in particular Arkansasrsquo quick start is seen by many as just what they needed to do to keep up Alabama Auburn Texas AampM and the other divi-sion opponents wait for no one Teams have to either get busy winning or be the black sheep of the division

Herersquos a i nal stat to ponder the SEC West is the only divi-sion among Power 5 confer-ences ndash Pac 12 Big 12 Big Ten ACC and SEC ndash to not have a team at or below the 500 mark this season

Arkansasrsquo start to the season is impressive considering low expectations but these days in the SEC West itrsquos just par for the course

Scottie BordelonSports Editor

Arkansasrsquo Quick Start Par for Course in Tough SEC West

h e Razorbacks head to Arlington Texas on Satur-day to take on No 6 Texas AampM in the much anticipated Southwest Classic

h is is the i rst time the game will be played in ATampT Stadium since AampM joined the Southeastern Conference in 2012

h is matchup which dates back to 1903 has a rich ri-valry h e teams stopped their annual matchup in 1991 when Arkansas joined the SEC h e series was renewed in 2009 under the name Southwest Classic and the teams now return to a neutral site ndash the

home of the Dallas Cowboysh e Razorbacks lead the

all-time series record 41-26-3 though AampM has won the last three years h e Aggies (4-0 1-0 SEC) have won all of their games by at least 24 points scoring 163 points so far this season

Some worried about what would happen to the Aggie of ense this season at er los-ing Johnny Manziel Mike Evans and Jake Matthews to the NFL but those fears were quickly put away at er sopho-more quarterback Kenny Hillrsquos record breaking season opener against South Caro-lina

Virtually unstoppable Hill not only broke Manzielrsquos single game passing record

but his 1094 passing yards in the i rst three games also beat Manzielrsquos record of 984 set in 2013 Hill has completed 97 passes for 1359 yards and 13 touchdowns with one inter-ception so far While Hill is a force in the pocket he is also competent on his feet rushing for 106 yards this season

h e Aggiesrsquo passing game is extremely dangerous large-ly in part to the depth of the receiving corps Any receiver on the roster is likely to make a catch making the Aggies in-credibly dii cult to defend

Seven Aggie receivers have more than 100 yards receiving so far this season and nine have caught touchdowns Se-nior Malcome Kennedy has been targeted most this sea-

son putting up 334 yards and a touchdown Josh Reynolds however has made it into the end zone four times and racked up 247 yards receiving

Despite averaging 405 passing yards a game this season the Aggies are 40th nationally in rushing yards averaging 207 a game

Like their receivers the Aggies give playing time to a host of running backs Six dif erent backs have more than 100 yards rushing Trey Williams Brandon Williams James White and Tra Carson see the most carries averag-ing 64 yards per carry col-lectively Carson and Wil-liams lead the team in rushing touchdowns with four each

AampMrsquos dynamic and pow-

erful of ense which was in-credibly dii cult to slow down last year with Evans and John-ny Football looks to be just as hard if not harder to stop this year

On the other side of the ball AampM has allowed only one touchdown in the last three games and is averaging

nearly four sacks a game so far this season

While the Aggies rank sec-ond in the country in points scored with an average of 55 a game Arkansas is third with an average of nearly 49 h e outcome of the game should be determined by whose de-fense can get the most stops

At er a third straight win of more than 20 points it may be hard to i nd nega-tives h ere are certainly a lot of positives to take from the third week of the season but no game has been perfect and the cup-cake schedule is over for the Hogs h ree straight games against top-15 teams are up next With the meat of the schedule looming here is a look at both the good and bad from SaturdayBuy Brandon Allen Pass-ing

All season Bret Bielema has called the passing game ldquothe best kept secret in Fay-ettevillerdquo

h is week fans got a little glimpse of what they could do It wasnrsquot spectacu-lar but it was ei cient Al-lenrsquos 68 percent completion percentage was the highest of his career when throwing 10 or more passes

His 199 passing yards

might not jump of the stats page but both touchdowns were well-thrown balls and Bielema raved about the job Allen did of going through his progression

Seven dif erent Razor-backs caught a pass and that was without Demetrius Wilson who was sidelined with an ankle injurySell Brandon Allen Diving

As much as players love to see their quarterback go all out for the team for the love of God Allen quit div-ing into the end zone

Last seasonrsquos shoulder in-jury against Southern Miss was because of diving into the end zone His shoulder is the key to Arkansas mak-ing a bowl game this season meaning those risky dives arenrsquot something he should be doing

His mobility is a tool and a weapon though He had a key scramble on a third down to keep a drive alive but if Allen is going to run he needs to learn to slide

Razorback Hockey Club Looks to Continue Winning Tradition

son was in 2008 and coach Brian Gallini has headed the Ice Hogs since the 2009-2010 season Since Gallini has been

head coach Arkansasrsquo record is 138-38-2 winning at nearly 80 percent of their games

Last year the Razorback

hockey team went 31-8 in the regular season h ey con-tinued into the postseason and beat Alabama to win the SECHC championship

Much of this success can be attributed to the work eth-ic of the team Gallini said

ldquoOur winning tradition comes from a fundamental belief in the strength of our programrsquos culture ndash a culture that emphasizes the impor-tance of players placing the team before themselvesrdquo Gallini said ldquoSo long as each player buys into our culture and how we do things the scoreboard alongside our overall season record takes care of itselfrdquo

h e team made an appear-ance at nationals last season dropping their opening game

to Adrian College At er the loss Arkansas pummeled Neumann University 14-6 and thumped the University of Central Florida 6-2

h e leading scorer two of the past three seasons was Sundstedt In 2011 he led the team with 25 goals In 2012 he fell short of the teamrsquos top scorer by just three goals but accounted for 39 assists Last season he led the team with 27 goals

Ryan Machos has also been a signi cant player on the team He led the team in goals with 30 in 2012 and was just behind Sundstedt and Marcel Toure with 22 goals in 2013

h e loss of Sundstedt will leave a void in the team and someone will have to take

initiative to become the next scoring leader

ldquoMarty was a special player who contributed an extraordinary amount to the Razorback hockey programrdquo Gallini said ldquoOur team will miss his on-ice skill alongside his of -the-ice leadershiprdquo

However there are new weapons for the Hogs that will help ll his place

Gallini said he expects a lot from new recruits Landyn Howze Matt Robinson and Colin South h ese players are expected to contribute to the of ense immediately

Veterans Machos and For-est Mudgett are projected to continue their of ensive success Meanwhile Oliver Easton will remain a power-ful weapon on defense

ldquoh is yearrsquos team is excep-tionally deeprdquo Gallini said ldquoOn any given night we ex-pect dif erent players to ll the void Martyrsquos departure leavesrdquo

Arkansasrsquo hockey season began against Metro State with two games h e Hogs lost the rst game but won an overtime shootout to win the second game

Arkansas opened confer-ence play against Auburn on Sept 19 winning 29-0 Fol-lowing the loss Auburn elect-ed to forfeit the second game h e blowout score indicates the Hogs may again dominate the SECHC

Next weekend the Razor-backs will travel to Oklahoma to play the Sooners on Friday and Saturday

Replacing Zach Hocker was never going to be an easy task Hocker made long eld goals look ef ortless and may have spoiled Razorback fans

A missed eld goal didnrsquot hurt the Razorbacks against Northern Illinois but an Southeastern Conference game could possibly hinge on a 42-yard eld goal and John Henson needs to make them

In his career Henson is 5-for-7 kicking eld goals which is respectable but the longest of those is just 25 yards Both of his attempts from outside 30 yards were missed

College football has shown that solid eld goal kicking is a must and the Hogs need Henson to step up and knock down a big one later this sea-son

he UofA was ranked as the seventh fastest grow-ing public school with an increase of 53 percent from 2002 to 2012 according to he Chronicle of Higher Education

he fall enrollment for this year is 26301 with 21903 of those students en-rolled in the undergraduate program according to a UA press release

ldquoWe want to be the uni-

versity for the entire staterdquo said Suzanne McCray vice provost of enrollment and dean of admissions

The target number for the freshman class is 4500 students and this year the university met that goal McCray said

Five years ago enroll-ment for the freshman class was 2900 The freshman class reached the target goal because of an increase in recruiting an increase in faculty as well as the new attractive buildings the uni-versity has to offer McCray said

McCray said she cred-its such growth to the great programs UA officials pro-vide for students Coupled with a beautiful campus the university is appealing to new students The univer-sity has also increased and

expanded scholarship pro-grams

Enrollment numbers de-creased when the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery was re-duced but they have come back up with an increase in scholarships McCray said

ldquoUniversity Relations has done a great job letting peo-ple know whatrsquos going onrdquo McCray said

The UofA has also seen an increase in its graduate program and law school which McCray said she thinks is a result of the fac-ulty The UofA hires faculty with terminal degrees the highest degree in an aca-

demic field of study McCray said

he UofA has also in-creased its inancial endow-ments he university had an increase of nearly 31 percent in donations from 2012-2013 according to he Chronicle of Higher Educa-tion As of last year the UofA received $82 million in en-dowments the largest in the state

he UofA is No 135 in the national universities sec-tion and No 69 in the top public schools category in the 2015 edition of Best Col-leges produced by US News amp World Report

More students have moved out of temporary housing and have been assigned to perma-nent residences University Housing staf said

As of hursday there were ive female students living in overlow housing at Hum-phreys Hall said Florence Johnson executive director of University Housing Hous-ing oicials expect the rest of the students to be reassigned by the week of Sept 21-27 Johnson said She did not say where students moved to but said that it was ldquobased on availability of their desired re-locationrdquo

As of Tuesday all students in overlow housing at Yocum had been given permanent assignments and were in the process of moving said Sta-cia Smith a coordinator for residence education in Yo-cum Hall Some of the stu-dents moved to Gregson and Pomfret she said

Students are sent to over-low housing based on on

when they sign their con-tracts Johnson said

ldquoStudents are originally as-signed to overlow based on their contract daterdquo Johnson said ldquoOnce at capacity we have a priority order of ill-ing overlow spaces and then work the reverse for our exit strategyrdquo

What building students live in what loor they are on and where they would like to live can determine what hall they will eventually be moved to Johnson said

What students want or can aford also afects the moving process said Jefery Vinger director of Residential Fa-cilities Studentsrsquo inances can determine which hall they wind up in because of the dif-ferent rates charged for each hall Studentsrsquo scholarships can also afect the process as Housing tries to place stu-dents in the halls they want

Friendships between students can also afect the moving process Vinger said Sometimes students in over-low make friends with other residents in the building and they donrsquot want to break of friendships when itrsquos time for them to move to their new

rooms Housing then tries to accommodate both students

ldquoSo now wersquore not just looking for one bedspreadrdquo Vinger said ldquoNow wersquore look-ing for twordquo

he issue can sometimes be even more challenging when more than two students form friendships and seek to live as a group within the same building Vinger said

For students moving out Housing provides relocation services such as boxes and helpers to assist in moving belongings Vinger said he lodgings in Humphreys were renovated and they provided typical resident room furni-ture and other conveniences such as TVs couches chairs ottomans and carpet

Some students actually requested to stay in Hum-phreys Vinger said Students also elected to stay in Yocum Smith said

ldquohey were a part of the community just like anybody elserdquo she said

Housing will do every-thing possible to give students what they want Vinger said

ldquoWe will bend over back-ward to try to accommodate studentsrsquo desiresrdquo he said

h e UA online network crashed Sept 8 leaving stu-dents faculty and sta across campus without access to the Internet

h ough enrollment at the UofA has skyrocketed in re-cent years reaching 26000 for the rst time the UA core network hasnrsquot been updated since 2008 and is now dealing with a 23 percent increase in overall enrollment said Da-vid Bruce an associate chief information o cer for cam-pus networks

h is delay in technol-ogy advancement has caused problems for the university in the past and was likely a fac-tor in the network crash Sept 8 Bruce said h e network is beginning to feel the growing

pains of increased enrollmentldquoWe didnrsquot get ahead of it

wersquore behind itrdquo he said ldquoBut wersquore moving in the right direc-tionrdquo

A large campus population means the UA network handles a large amount of tra c Traf- c is the data sent and received by those on the network h e crashes last week were caused by ldquobad tra crdquo on the network Bruce said

ldquoh ere was a new vulner-ability in an internet protocol called the Network Time Pro-tocolrdquo Bruce said

Network Time Protocol or NTP is an Internet proto-col that is used to synchronize the clocks of devices such as phones computers and tablets connected to a network ac-cording to the Network Time Foundation website

ldquoA security issue with the protocol was discovered or

lsquofound in the wildrsquo meaning it was a security aw that has been there for a long time and somebody found it and wrote a program to exploit it and that generated a whole bunch of this bad Network Time Protocol tra crdquo Bruce said

h e program written to exploit NTP security is called a denial-of-service attack that generates a high volume of bad tra c on networks accord-ing to the Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Re-sponse Team website

ldquoh is doesnrsquot speci cally impact the wireless but the way it works is that in order for wireless to work there are no fewer than 12 systems that have to be functional behind the wirelessrdquo Bruce said

If one system is down then wireless access is lost on campush e major sources of bad tra c were identi ed and

stopped by the campus net-works Information Technology Services team Bruce said

An information technol-ogy assessment that covered the entire system on the whole campus was completed over the summer Bruce said

ldquoOne of the recommenda-tions was to view the network as a strategic resource and to engage in a more centralized model for fundingrdquo Bruce said ldquoI think the issues last week put a spotlight on it h e upper administration is beginning to take this seriously and we are going to be engaging in strate-gic planning that will discuss how we fund thingsrdquo

What the UofA has in place now did not protect campus from crashing but going for-ward the focus will be on a long-term solution that will protect the UA network Bruce said

Wireless Network Blackouts Cause Problems on Campus

the street from Harmon is scheduled to open by summer 2015 h e nine classrooms and 12 labs will attract hundreds of students and faculty

When the garage does be-gin to reach capacity o cialsrsquo primary concern will be ensur-ing that permit pass holders can park Transit will rely on entrance gate so ware to track the number of pass holders using the garage Smith said If pass holders begin to ll up available spaces the entrance gates will be programmed to refuse drivers who attempt to park and pay hourly Lot Full signs will be posted outside the garage Smith said

Hourly parking will be re-stricted ldquowhenever we feel it is necessaryrdquo Gilbride said add-ing that such an adjustment would likely take place at the beginning of a semester

Tracking cars would place greater reliance on entrance and exit gates to count parkers using Harmon Garage h ose gates use the same Internet network as the rest of the uni-versity and as a result they are also subject to crashes Smith said

Bad network tra c and a hacker-created virus shut down the UA core router Sept 8 said David Bruce associate chief information o cer for campus networks h e crash le drivers unable to use cred-it cards at Harmon exit gates and long lines stretched from the exit gates to the upper lev-els of the garage Smith said

If a similar scenario was to occur while the gates were being used to regulate which drivers were allowed into Har-mon Parking o cials might

have to deal with pass holders arriving at the garage a er it is full

h e network problem that snarled Harmon has been ad-dressed More problems how-ever could arise

ldquoYou canrsquot say wersquore not go-ing to have any more issues because we always dordquo Bruce said ldquoh ese issues we had last week arenrsquot even the worst outage wersquove ever hadrdquo

h e major network struc-ture at the UofA hasnrsquot been updated since 2008 Bruce said

ldquoI think the entire insti-tution everybody is feeling some of the growing pains from the increased enroll-mentrdquo Bruce said

He added that ultimately all UA o cials can do is work to anticipate and avoid the types of network issues that caused problems in Harmon

Parking o cials are also considering more long-term solutions to ease Harmon parking demand Gilbride said

ldquoWe have talked about expanding the garage to the south if neededrdquo he said

h is expansion could come sometime within the next ve years and because Harmon Garage cannot support extra parking levels the addition would be located at the site of several university owned houses on Harmon Avenue Gilbride said

Until then UA students and faculty may have to plan on walking farther

ldquoWe have hundreds of open spaces on campus theyrsquore just not as close to this areardquo Gil-bride said

Ray Ricersquos Punishment Doesnrsquot Fit the Crime

Enough time has passed Tempers over the incident have simmered slightly and now logic nally has an opportunity to make a guest appearance in the Ray Rice case that was re-leased in a shocking video just a few weeks ago

Prior to the videorsquos release NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell received little resis-tance to the the Baltimore Ra-vens running backrsquos mere two-game suspension but when the tape eventually surfaced Rice was handed an inde nite league wide ban

National news commenta-tors launched on a month long tirade to bring up the issue of domestic violence and bash the league at every opportunity for its handling of crimes commit-ted by its athletes But was the truth lost somewhere in the process

Letrsquos start with the initial punishment being given to Ray Rice Many were critical of Ricersquos two-game ban not be-ing close to enough for a case of assault What many people tend to neglect is the monetary impact that those two games cost Mr Rice which most ana-lysts agree is somewhere in the range of $530000 is does not include the cost incurred by legal fees time lost due to inter-nal league punishments such as mandatory attendance to reed-ucation programs as well as the moral costs to his reputation

Also compared to how Goodell handled past incidenc-es of domestic violence Ricersquos punishment was extremely harsh In 2008 Ahmad Brooks was charged with knocking a woman unconscious and sus-pended only one game 2011 Eric Walden felony assault for

punching his own girlfriend one game 2012 Dez Bryant misdemeanor assault on his own mother no suspension To say that Rice got o scot free is both technically and scally just untrue

ere was also a strange campaign by news outlets to paint the NFL as an multi-bil-lion dollar organization built on a strong foundation of woman beating According to the statis-tics based blog Fivethirtyeight famous for predicting the 2012 election most accurately of all pundits the NFL has a much lower rate of domestic violence than the national average In fact the NFLrsquos average arrest rate is only 13 percent of the national average for all crimes To say that the league is full of rampaging thugs acting with-out legal consequence is based purely on prejudice ironically by social justice warriors look-ing to paint them in a negative light for their own agendas

en there was the state-ment released by Ricersquos then -ance and now wife which was all but entirely thrown in the garbage based on the assump-tion that she didnrsquot have the ability to analyze the situation as a victim

Ironically Janay Rice had the clairvoyance to subsequent-ly criticize the media frenzy over the incident and misrep-resentation of the facts in favor of a more favorable narrative complete with sound bites

erersquos more issues here than canrsquot be t into a space of a little more than a 500 word column Questions of Mrs Rice own case of assault where she initiated the violence by attack-ing her husband to be Why ex-actly this factoid was completely ignored rather than Ray Ricersquos response to the incident has to be the most ba ing fact of the case From a legal perspective she too should be charged with assault

But welcome to the age of digital media where the facts are all but assumed and the context doesnrsquot matter

Traveler Quote of the DayTravTr

Daniel McFarlandASG President

ldquoAssociated Student Government Fall Election Results Announcedrdquo

Pg 2

I feel fairly comfortable assuming that most of my readers have at one time or another had experience with Advanced Placement classes

We all did them in high-school not only to bolster our resumeacutes but to come to college with credit and to make sure our mothers all had bumper stickers reading ldquoIrsquom proud of my AP stu-dentrdquo

According to an article recently published in the Northwest Arkansas Times public schools in the area are seeing large increases in the number of students enroll-ing in AP classes

ldquoO cials attribute the success largely to Act 2152 of 2005 which made Arkansas the only state that pays for its studentsrsquo AP tests according to the article Other factors include the addition of more pre-AP classes at the junior-high level and more training for teachersrdquo

is factoid although seemingly small gave birth to an inner monologue that led me to question the col-legiate version of AP class-esmdashthe honors college Is it worth it

More importantly do they make bumper stick-ers that read ldquoIrsquom proud of myself cause Irsquom an honors studentrdquo

According to the Hon-ors College website ldquoHon-ors students enjoy small in-depth classes priority registration special hous-ing increased interaction with faculty and enhanced opportunities for hands-on researchrdquo

at sentence makes enrolling in the honors pro-gram seem absolutely valu-able and may give an answer to the question posed ear-liermdashitrsquos probably worth it

but that doesnrsquot mean I have no qualms

Priority registration alone stands to justify enrolling in the honors program

It seems valuable at least for your time on campus But did all those AP classes in high school actually help you

Did having a more thor-ough knowledge of the Ming Dynasty than a student who took regular history have a long standing impact on your academic future

It may have and it may not

I was accepted to the UA with a good amount of cred-it which I received from AP classes

at was hugely helpful But in real life advanced credit doesnrsquot necessarily ex-ist

And a er you graduate the honors college or the regular one real life is what yoursquore going to get

But perhaps itrsquos unfair of me to judge the college based on a lack of advanced credit

It would be naiumlve indeed to assert that there is no value in being an honors stu-dent

Beyond the things listed above honors students have access to more scholarship money and study abroad op-portunities

I suppose the questions now raised would read something like this Is it fair to o er advanced opportuni-ties to advanced students Are we not all in theory ad-vanced

Are we not in a massive minority based solely on our title as ldquocollege studentsrdquo We are all advanced simply by being here

It bothers me ever so slightly that my place out-side of the honors college represents missed oppor-tunities for more in depth learning or smaller class size

It bothers me that some-one may give me less schol-arship money or that I may have less exposure to the universityrsquos top professors

ose honors should be-long to every single one of us

UofA Should Strive to Provide Educational Bene ts for all Students Not Just for Honors

Private admission con-sulting has become a new trend amongst stressed out parents and students apply-ing for college across the na-tion

Data shows that getting help from these consultants does result in more accep-tances and better test score results but what about all the students that canrsquot a ord to pay for these services

Itrsquos not fair that individu-als with better nances get an upper hand when it comes to applying and getting ac-cepted into the top schools in the nation

In 2013 over 25 per-cent of all college applicants hired a ldquoprivate admissions consultantrdquo according to Ruth Starkman an academic teaching sta member at Stanford University

Many private admission consultants were once ad-missions readers at colleges which gives students an in-sight on what they are par-ticularly looking for

Most of these services base their models and pro-grams around collected data of previous clients that ap-plied and got accepted into

those institutionsOne of the most popular

services thatrsquos booming in the industry is called ink Tank Learning

It was founded by Steven Ma and over 10000 students are using it bringing in rev-enue of more than eighteen million dollars

ey say that about 85 percent of their applicants get into a top 40 college as ranked by US News and World Report

e average cost for a guaranteed admission in the ink Tank program is about forty thousand dollars

atrsquos roughly the cost of a state college undergraduate education

Sure the owners and CEOrsquos of major companies can a ord to pay this for their kids but the average middle class worker canrsquot even imag-ine doubling the cost for their childrsquos college education

A study by the Federal Re-serve released last month said that from 2010 to 2013 the wealth gap among US house-holds widened and in ation-adjusted income fell for all but the richest households

ldquoIn the more recent three-year period median income fell 17 for people without a high school diploma read the report 2 for high school

graduates and 11 for those with some collegerdquo

However there are less ex-pensive services that students can use such as one o ered by the Independent Educational Consultants Association that costs an average of 4000 dollars but even this can be pricey

To even apply to a school students pay hundreds of dollars Most schools require you to make certain scores on the ACT and SAT tests

Each one of these tests charge about y dollars each time you take them and usually students take them multiple times

Other expenses include application fees and visiting fees

Before a student even gets accepted into an institu-tion theyrsquove already spent so much money

A ording these types of private services can be very di cult for the average per-son

ese private services are critiqued by school counsel-ors and teachers because they believe that these businesses take advantage of the mis-conception that what school you go to really makes a dif-ference in your career

ldquoA good counselor helps students and families get

comfortable with the world as it is not how they wish

e world isnrsquot just iviesrdquo said CEO of IECA Mark Sklarow

ldquoCollege is a match to be made not a prize to be wonrdquo said Jim Conroy chair of post-high school counseling at New Trier Township High School

Colleges should be chosen based upon what suits you personally and what you plan to study and want

Most students strive to pick the top schools because they believe itrsquos whatrsquos going to help them in their careers but Denise Pope a senior lec-turer at Stanford disagrees

She says that research shows that in the majority of cases the undergraduate col-lege you attend doesnrsquot play a serious role in your long term careers

Private admissions con-sultants have gured out ex-actly what universities want and charge people outrageous amounts of money in order to give them the answers

is gives a major disad-vantage to all the underprivi-leged students who canrsquot af-ford it

ldquoMaking the Travelerrsquos Journey Worthwhilerdquo

Will Purdy Sta PhotographerUA students Alec DeHaven and Tyler Casey put in last-minute training for the upcoming climbing competition 24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell At 10 am Friday team CaseyndashDeHaven will compete against 149 other two-man teams to see who can climb the greatest number of routes in 24 hours Casey and DeHavenrsquos goal is to reach 150 routes each

At least four students will compete in a rock climbing competition that has climbers from all over the country traveling to Jasper Arkansas to com-pete Sept 24-28

24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell will be at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch in Jasper and is more than a competi-tion ndash it includes camping food music and games Competitors must have a partner and teams have the option of choosing between participating in a 12 or 24 hour event Teams are placed into one of four categories recreational in-termediate advanced and elite Each climbing route is designated a certain number of points based on diiculty level and competitors earn points for

each route they climb he winner is who has earned the most points at the end 24 HHH strives to bring in a well-known professional climber each year Alex Honnold known for climbing large clifs with no rope to protect him if he falls will be at this yearrsquos 24 HHH competition

Senior Andrew Mayes has been rock climbing for six years his is his irst year to compete in 24 HHH

ldquoClimbing to me in general is about communityrdquo Mayes said

Mayes said rock climbing is a life-style to him and something he was inspired to do Being a professional climber is not the goal

Rock climbing by nature is a little scary and it is typical to fall he said

ldquoItrsquos inspiring to face your fears to be the best that you can berdquo he said

Seeing people have enough passion

to push their limits and work toward their goals is a way to get people to do what they love Mayes said

Something that started out as a hobby became more serious recently when Mayes took a trip to Las Vegas to climb at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area here he did tra-ditional climbing which difers from sport climbing in that climbers must place their own gear to protect against falls In sport climbing there are pro-tection and anchor points permanently installed prior to the climb

ldquoherersquos a lot more to it You almost have to take a step backrdquo Mayes said

Traditional climbing made him see the sport in a new light and traditional climbing felt more authentic and genu-ine he said

ldquoTo me it was like going deeper and deeper into a cave With every step

you take you continue to conquer that fearrdquo Mayes said

Mayesrsquo partner for the competition is junior Courtney Blake

ldquoTogether we had the desire to go out and do a bunch of diferent thingsrdquo Mayes said ldquoWe feed of each otherrdquo

Blake works in the Outdoor Con-nections Center assisting rock climbers at the HPERrsquos rock wall She has also led rock climbing trips She said that she and Mayes motivate each other

For Blake rock climbing is still all about having fun She was irst intro-duced to it her freshman year when she lived in Pomfret and her friends con-tinuously invited her to go climbing with them at the HPER

ldquohe environment is so welcoming which is why I think I kept going back freshman yearrdquo Blake said

Mayes said the competition is re-

ally about endurance and that it can be hard to distinguish diiculty levels Some routes can be harder or easier depending on the climberrsquos height or lexibility for example He and Blake are placed in the intermediate division

his is senior Tyler Caseyrsquos third year to compete in 24 HHH His part-ner for the competition is junior Alec DeHaven

ldquoOnce you get into it you donrsquot real-ly want to get outrdquo Casey said ldquoherersquos a whole culture to itrdquo

He became serious about climbing his sophomore year and said he has met some of his best college friends through going camping and climbing together Itrsquos an accepting crowd he said It began as something he wanted to push himself to be better at and evolved into what consumes most of his free time

Competitive Climbers Find Culture and Fun

Alex GoldenStaf Writer

Studying abroad is the quintessen-tial college experience that impacts students in numerous ways Coming from those who have already been involved there is no shortage of en-couragement for their peers to enjoy the opportunity as well

he possibilities seem almost endless for UA students About 800 students studied abroad last year according to Laura Smith gradu-ate assistant for programming who helped organize an honors study abroad event Tuesday Sept 16

ldquoImmersing yourself in another culture has many beneits both aca-demically and socially Being around other languages food belief systems and cultural outlooks adds fresh perspective and unique experience to any majorminorhellip Exposure to people who are diferent from you is what higher education is all aboutrdquo Smith said

Students can travel to any desti-nation as long as that city doesnrsquot have a travel warning Last year study abroad trips were made to 48 diferent countries in six diferent continents according to Chelsea Hodge assistant director of recruit-ment and speaker at the honors study abroad event Trips are avail-able for speciic majors with partner organizations and exchange pro-grams where international univer-sities swap students with the UofA

Studying abroad helps many stu-dents gain higher level credits and real-world experience in their cho-sen ield For many students seeing their chosen major in a diferent cul-ture is eye-opening

Ryan Wendt a pre-med major studied with the popular Health Teams Abroad program in Sweden to gain six credit hours in his upper level classes Seeing the health care system in Europe was important and the program allowed him to spend half his time visiting diferent hospitals and clinics overseas

For Abby Terlouw studying in Belize for three weeks provided an experience she couldnrsquot gain in the classroom Ater taking classes and learning the facts about her engineering major she inally got the chance to go out and apply her knowledge making the experience unquestioningly valuable for her career

Studying abroad does not have to be all business though Students can also study abroad to earn credits in basic core requirements as well as electives

Jill Tyler an anthropology pre-med major attended the well-estab-lished UofA Center in Rome his destination includes a UofA campus that has been ofering classes since 1989 according to the study abroad website Tyler earned her honors art history and Italian credits while in Rome and said she considers loca-tion of the studies a key piece in the study abroad puzzle

ldquoI had the rest of my college ex-perience to get grades and prepare for the MCAT I wanted summer to be for merdquo Tyler said

She advocated strongly for stu-dents to seek out a country that they can spend time exploring geograph-ically and culturally and in the meantime fall in love with During her stay Tyler traveled through nine

diferent countries in two weeks en-joying herself as well as taking care of required courses

he length of a study abroad trip can vary from two weeks to an entire summer or semester While abroad students stay in hotels dorms or in the homes of a local family in their destination country depending on the program Some of the most popular destinations for students last year were Italy England Spain and Belize

Of course funding is an im-portant consideration for study-ing abroad Knowing the price tag ahead of time allows students to ind scholarships and grants to help them along their way

ldquoStudy abroad trips can range pretty broadly in terms of price de-pending on where you go and how

long you stay Summer programs can cost around $5000 while a se-mester at Oxford could cost close to $30000rdquo Hodge said

here are numerous funding op-portunities for UA students Hodge said Federal inancial aid in the form of Pell Grants or loans are available as well as departmental scholarships Many colleges ofer speciic study abroad funding to their students such as the College of Engineering or Walton Honors students can also apply for special funding like the Sturgis Grant Help is available for students via an advi-sor an appointment with the study abroad oice or the study abroad website

While the application process might seem daunting Hodge also shared several tips She advised

looking for several funding oppor-tunities not just one

Students need to provide tran-scripts letters of recommendation and sometimes essays for certain grants or scholarships If an essay is required speciic relatable details about oneself are the most desirable and successful ingredients for suc-cess

ldquoEmployers graduate schools medical schools etc deinitely look for international experiences on stu-dentsrsquo resumes It indicates an open-ness a desire to connect with the world and with people from a difer-ent culture Itrsquos also just an incred-ible amount of fun When you study abroad you are forced out of your comfort zone and what you can ind there can change your liferdquo Hodge said

Adams Pryor Sta PhotographerAfter years of writing Daniel Sutherland rests his arm on top of a published copy of his book Whistler A Life for Artrsquos Sake His book was released in March and focuses on the life and work of the American-born painter James McNeill Whistler

At 12 years old on a school ield trip to the Detroit Institute of Art a boy stood mesmerized by an impressionistic paint-ing of ireworks ldquohe Falling Rocketsrdquo but it would be decades before he satis-ied his boyhood fascination and wrote a biography about the artist behind the American masterpiece James McNeill Whistler

Daniel Sutherland a distinguished professor of history at the UofA began his research on Whistler in 1999 ater a making a career of writing and teaching about the Civil War

Whistler was born in Massachusetts

in 1834 but moved to Paris early in his adult life to begin his career as an artist in Europe He produced 2700 paintings drawings etchings and lithographs

ldquoI was just looking for a new projectrdquo Sutherland said ldquoI wrote mostly about the Civil War and I was honestly tired of writing about the Civil War I always wanted to write a biography and I decid-ed to try my hand at Whistlerrdquo

he research and writing took him 14 years to complete but Sutherland said ldquoWhistler A Life for Artrsquos Sakerdquo became his favorite out of the nine he has writ-ten

ldquoIt is so diferent from what I have been doingrdquo Sutherland said ldquoWhistler is such a character He sees and thinks about the world in ways that are just new

to me At his time he was really stretch-ing the bounds of what he considered proper art and understandable art He was an impressionist before impression-ism came aboutrdquo

Critics gave Sutherlandrsquos biography high praise and many commented on how well he interwove Whistlerrsquos life and art by using letters he wrote his was the irst biography written about Whistler in 20 years and the irst to give equal atten-tion to his life events as it did to his art and technique

ldquoMost of the other biographies about Whistler were written by art histori-ans who are so focused on the art and explaining technique and things like

With all of the advances in technology and the widespread knowledge of English worldwide many English speakers oten ind it diicult knowing what beneits there are in learning a foreign language Studies suggest that within 10 years many universities will discontinue language courses due to their inefectiveness in the professional ield

Learning another language has long term beneits Students at the UofA study-ing a variety of languages have plenty to advise on this issue

Andrew Billingsley junior is studying international relations and Middle East-ern studies with a minor in Arabic

ldquohe Middle East is where the world has deemed important in the current times I got into Arabic for potential gov-ernment and military jobsrdquo Billingsley said ldquoMy hope is to obtain a government position in counter-terrorism and intel-ligence Arabic is absolutely necessary for this due to our nationrsquos interest in that re-gionrdquo

Another student senior Macyn Hunn is in the same Arabic class Intensive Ara-bic III as Billingsley

ldquoI started taking Arabic because my best friend was taking itrdquo Hunn said ldquoAf-ter a while I found that I enjoyed it It has steered the career path I am wanting to go into I might work for a company that is employed by the military or government he way I see it if you know Arabic yoursquore pretty much guaranteed a jobrdquo

Another up-and-coming language is Mandarin Taylor Weiss freshman has had previous experience from high school with Chinese and said she plans on mi-noring in it for her international business major here were many languages to choose from but she chose Chinese

ldquoI originally chose to learn Chinese because I was interested in joining the Navy However once my interest changed towards business I realized how perfect Chinese would be for thatrdquo she said ldquoA large majority of our countryrsquos trade and business is done with China making it highly strategic to become an expert in their language Not to mention that I love the culture Learning it is deinitely chal-lenging but Irsquom enjoying every minute of itrdquo

Alex Webb is a sophomore health nu-trition and hospital major with a minor

in Japanese As a kid he loved watching cartoons like ldquoDragon Ball Zrdquo in Japanese subtitles His interest for that grew into passion and he watched more and more advanced shows

ldquoLast summer I went to study abroad in Japan It was an incredible experience As for my future I am in the military so knowing Japanese will help beneit my marketability and also ofer more beneits now and for future jobsrdquo he said

Webb plans to continue to learn the Japanese language and pursue their cul-ture

he two most commonly studied and known foreign languages in the United States are Spanish and French Students oten wonder how they could beneit from knowing one of these more common lan-guages

Junior Darcie Nixon is a Spanish ma-jor She said her long-term goal in using this degree is to be able to relate better to Spanish-speakers and do mission work overseas

ldquoMy dream job is to be an interpreter for a missionrsquos base or an English teacher for a Spanish-speaking schoolrdquo she said

When asked why she chose Spanish when so many other people know it she said ldquoKnowing Spanish is a good skillset

to have As for it being too common and a waste of time I think itrsquos arrogant to think that learning a new skillset will hinder you Itrsquos better to be a master of something rather than staying stagnantrdquo

Drew Steinbeck a senior and French minor said ldquoPeople donrsquot really realize it but French is one of the biggest business languages in the world right up there with Chineserdquo

Steinbeck is majoring in apparel stud-ies and plans to live in Paris and work in the fashion industry and business He looks forward to being an expert in the French language and combining it with his dream job for apparel

In addition to these languages the uni-versity ofers courses in even more such as Italian Russian German Swahili and the classics which consists of Latin and Greek

It has never harmed anyone to be-come knowledgeable or even luent in a language Not to mention it is fun chal-lenging and always helpful and impres-sive when traveling to a country where you can speak some of the native peoplersquos tongue Its beneits for life and boosting of marketability to the professional ield are reasons enough to consider furthering an education in a foreign language

Ogden said she agreed that collegiate twirl-ing is all about pleasing the crowd

ldquoMy main goal is to be an entertainer on the eld I have the opportunity to do whatever I pleaserdquo she said ldquoIt is more like a freestyle compared to the competitive twirling stylerdquo

ldquoe RMB is an amazing organizationrdquo Og-den said ldquoere is nothing better than spending game day with the Razorback Marching Band Performing pregame and haltime are absolute highlights of my years in college so farrdquo

that that they kind of skim over his life and the events in his life that really explain much of the art and the directions he tookrdquo Sutherland said

Not only did 14 years of hard work pay of in the form of a com-pleted and well-praised work of writing Sutherlandrsquos work also be-came part of a PBS documentary ldquoJames McNeill Whistler amp he Case for Beautyrdquo he documentary aired nationally Sept 12 on PBS af-iliates and is available to buy

Sutherland said he was irst ap-proached to help with the docu-mentary in 2005 He was inish-ing his research on Whistler and beginning to write while visiting Cambridge when the producer of the ilm Karen homas contacted him

ldquoSomeone had told Karen about me and that I was one of the peo-ple she needed to talk tordquo Suther-land said ldquoShe asked me if I would be one of the consultants on the script which I agreed to dordquo

Sutherland helped show hom-as around the places Whistler had lived gave hours of interview time and proofed the script for accura-cy Nine years later they arrived at the inished product

ldquohese things take timerdquo Sutherland said ldquoWhen you get down to the end it has to be so precise I remember with the last drat she said lsquoWe have to cut ive seconds Where can we cut ive secondsrsquo It was a challenge in that respectrdquo

Anyone thinking about enter-ing the ield of history must be willing to dedicate years to school Sutherland said

ldquoItrsquos tough nowadaysrdquo Suther-land said ldquoMake sure that is what you want to do that you are will-ing to devote six or seven years to graduate school It takes as much time as it does to become a medical doctor and the inancial rewards are not as great

ldquoBut I am one of those who de-cided that that really was what I

wanted to do And if luck is with you and you stick to it you can re-alize that ambitionrdquo he said

Sutherlandrsquos background in-stilled in him the ambition to pur-sue history speciically the Civil War he said

Although he grew up in Detroit and attended northern schools he said his family originally came from southern farmlands Both sets of grandparents moved in the 1920s to work in the auto shops

ldquohey were always talking about the Civil War and from a south-ern perspectiverdquo Sutherland said ldquoHearing their stories and then attending northern schools and seeing a northern perspective on the war it was always kind of fas-cinated to merdquo

Again it took Sutherland time to realize his fascination could turn into more than an interest It was not until ater his time in the Navy and when he decided to go to graduate school that he decided to pursue history he said

ldquoI always had a boyhood inter-est in historyrdquo Sutherland said ldquoI came back ater my service and there were no jobs teaching so I just decided to go to grad school It was only then really at the age of about 24 that I decided this (being a historian) looked like a possible careerrdquo

Aside from the nine books he wrote Sutherland has edited or co-edited six other books Most of them were focused on the Civil War and 19th century American society He has received more than 40 honors awards and research grants for his work

Sutherland is working on a new book this time about Whistlerrsquos mother who is the subject of one of Whistlerrsquos most famous works

ldquoI have had so much fun writing about Whistlerrdquo Sutherland said ldquoMy new project I am working on is a biography about his mother the famous portrait I am reluctant to leave that world Itrsquos so much funrdquo

COMMENTARY

h e Razorbacksrsquo quick turn-around at er their season open-ing loss to Auburn has turned heads and caught the attention

of national mediaArkansasrsquo improvement is

evident to every person who has tuned in to a game this season If those same people have tuned in to a game featur-ing another SEC West school however they would realize the quick impressive start by Ar-kansas is just par for the course in the division

h e Southeastern Confer-encersquos Western division is sim-ply the best division in all of college football Itrsquos been this way for quite some time and itrsquos not even debatable h e SEC West is practically a Power 5 conference all on its own

What also is not debatable is that the division is at an all-

time high in regards to compet-itiveness from top to bottom

Six of seven schools in the Western division are ranked in the most recent Amway Coaches Poll which was re-leased Sunday Arkansas was the odd man out h e remain-ing six schools were all ranked in the top 18

Mississippi State found its way into the top 25 at er an impressive win in Baton Rouge in front of more than 102000 screaming Cajuns h e Bull-dogs jumped 11 spots to No 16 while LSU fell 10 spots to No 18

Alabama heads the division at No 2 followed by Auburn at No 5 Texas AampM at No 7

and Ole Miss at No 11 It isnrsquot as if Arkansasrsquo performances the past few weeks are going unnoticed however h e Ra-zorbacks considered a bottom feeder in the SEC again this preseason received 17 votes in the Coaches Poll

Teams in the division can-not af ord to take a week of h ere is no overlooking teams or guaranteed wins like in the other so-called ldquotop football conferencesrdquo

h e Big Ten has Illinois Minnesota and Purdue h e Big 12 has Iowa State Kansas and dare I say Texas who is of to a tragically slow start h e Atlantic Coast Conference has Wake Forest Boston College

and Syracuse and the Pac-12 has Washington State and Col-orado to beat up on each week

h e SEC has only Vander-bilt but the Commodores gave No 15 South Carolina all they wanted and more last Satur-day It took a 21-point fourth quarter for the Gamecocks to escape Nashville alive

Kentucky also not a push-over anymore and Arkansas have been the surprises of the SEC thus far Both programs are vastly improved over the teams they i elded a season ago Opponents can no longer deem the schools guaranteed wins

With the current state of the SEC and the Western di-

vision in particular Arkansasrsquo quick start is seen by many as just what they needed to do to keep up Alabama Auburn Texas AampM and the other divi-sion opponents wait for no one Teams have to either get busy winning or be the black sheep of the division

Herersquos a i nal stat to ponder the SEC West is the only divi-sion among Power 5 confer-ences ndash Pac 12 Big 12 Big Ten ACC and SEC ndash to not have a team at or below the 500 mark this season

Arkansasrsquo start to the season is impressive considering low expectations but these days in the SEC West itrsquos just par for the course

Scottie BordelonSports Editor

Arkansasrsquo Quick Start Par for Course in Tough SEC West

h e Razorbacks head to Arlington Texas on Satur-day to take on No 6 Texas AampM in the much anticipated Southwest Classic

h is is the i rst time the game will be played in ATampT Stadium since AampM joined the Southeastern Conference in 2012

h is matchup which dates back to 1903 has a rich ri-valry h e teams stopped their annual matchup in 1991 when Arkansas joined the SEC h e series was renewed in 2009 under the name Southwest Classic and the teams now return to a neutral site ndash the

home of the Dallas Cowboysh e Razorbacks lead the

all-time series record 41-26-3 though AampM has won the last three years h e Aggies (4-0 1-0 SEC) have won all of their games by at least 24 points scoring 163 points so far this season

Some worried about what would happen to the Aggie of ense this season at er los-ing Johnny Manziel Mike Evans and Jake Matthews to the NFL but those fears were quickly put away at er sopho-more quarterback Kenny Hillrsquos record breaking season opener against South Caro-lina

Virtually unstoppable Hill not only broke Manzielrsquos single game passing record

but his 1094 passing yards in the i rst three games also beat Manzielrsquos record of 984 set in 2013 Hill has completed 97 passes for 1359 yards and 13 touchdowns with one inter-ception so far While Hill is a force in the pocket he is also competent on his feet rushing for 106 yards this season

h e Aggiesrsquo passing game is extremely dangerous large-ly in part to the depth of the receiving corps Any receiver on the roster is likely to make a catch making the Aggies in-credibly dii cult to defend

Seven Aggie receivers have more than 100 yards receiving so far this season and nine have caught touchdowns Se-nior Malcome Kennedy has been targeted most this sea-

son putting up 334 yards and a touchdown Josh Reynolds however has made it into the end zone four times and racked up 247 yards receiving

Despite averaging 405 passing yards a game this season the Aggies are 40th nationally in rushing yards averaging 207 a game

Like their receivers the Aggies give playing time to a host of running backs Six dif erent backs have more than 100 yards rushing Trey Williams Brandon Williams James White and Tra Carson see the most carries averag-ing 64 yards per carry col-lectively Carson and Wil-liams lead the team in rushing touchdowns with four each

AampMrsquos dynamic and pow-

erful of ense which was in-credibly dii cult to slow down last year with Evans and John-ny Football looks to be just as hard if not harder to stop this year

On the other side of the ball AampM has allowed only one touchdown in the last three games and is averaging

nearly four sacks a game so far this season

While the Aggies rank sec-ond in the country in points scored with an average of 55 a game Arkansas is third with an average of nearly 49 h e outcome of the game should be determined by whose de-fense can get the most stops

At er a third straight win of more than 20 points it may be hard to i nd nega-tives h ere are certainly a lot of positives to take from the third week of the season but no game has been perfect and the cup-cake schedule is over for the Hogs h ree straight games against top-15 teams are up next With the meat of the schedule looming here is a look at both the good and bad from SaturdayBuy Brandon Allen Pass-ing

All season Bret Bielema has called the passing game ldquothe best kept secret in Fay-ettevillerdquo

h is week fans got a little glimpse of what they could do It wasnrsquot spectacu-lar but it was ei cient Al-lenrsquos 68 percent completion percentage was the highest of his career when throwing 10 or more passes

His 199 passing yards

might not jump of the stats page but both touchdowns were well-thrown balls and Bielema raved about the job Allen did of going through his progression

Seven dif erent Razor-backs caught a pass and that was without Demetrius Wilson who was sidelined with an ankle injurySell Brandon Allen Diving

As much as players love to see their quarterback go all out for the team for the love of God Allen quit div-ing into the end zone

Last seasonrsquos shoulder in-jury against Southern Miss was because of diving into the end zone His shoulder is the key to Arkansas mak-ing a bowl game this season meaning those risky dives arenrsquot something he should be doing

His mobility is a tool and a weapon though He had a key scramble on a third down to keep a drive alive but if Allen is going to run he needs to learn to slide

Razorback Hockey Club Looks to Continue Winning Tradition

son was in 2008 and coach Brian Gallini has headed the Ice Hogs since the 2009-2010 season Since Gallini has been

head coach Arkansasrsquo record is 138-38-2 winning at nearly 80 percent of their games

Last year the Razorback

hockey team went 31-8 in the regular season h ey con-tinued into the postseason and beat Alabama to win the SECHC championship

Much of this success can be attributed to the work eth-ic of the team Gallini said

ldquoOur winning tradition comes from a fundamental belief in the strength of our programrsquos culture ndash a culture that emphasizes the impor-tance of players placing the team before themselvesrdquo Gallini said ldquoSo long as each player buys into our culture and how we do things the scoreboard alongside our overall season record takes care of itselfrdquo

h e team made an appear-ance at nationals last season dropping their opening game

to Adrian College At er the loss Arkansas pummeled Neumann University 14-6 and thumped the University of Central Florida 6-2

h e leading scorer two of the past three seasons was Sundstedt In 2011 he led the team with 25 goals In 2012 he fell short of the teamrsquos top scorer by just three goals but accounted for 39 assists Last season he led the team with 27 goals

Ryan Machos has also been a signi cant player on the team He led the team in goals with 30 in 2012 and was just behind Sundstedt and Marcel Toure with 22 goals in 2013

h e loss of Sundstedt will leave a void in the team and someone will have to take

initiative to become the next scoring leader

ldquoMarty was a special player who contributed an extraordinary amount to the Razorback hockey programrdquo Gallini said ldquoOur team will miss his on-ice skill alongside his of -the-ice leadershiprdquo

However there are new weapons for the Hogs that will help ll his place

Gallini said he expects a lot from new recruits Landyn Howze Matt Robinson and Colin South h ese players are expected to contribute to the of ense immediately

Veterans Machos and For-est Mudgett are projected to continue their of ensive success Meanwhile Oliver Easton will remain a power-ful weapon on defense

ldquoh is yearrsquos team is excep-tionally deeprdquo Gallini said ldquoOn any given night we ex-pect dif erent players to ll the void Martyrsquos departure leavesrdquo

Arkansasrsquo hockey season began against Metro State with two games h e Hogs lost the rst game but won an overtime shootout to win the second game

Arkansas opened confer-ence play against Auburn on Sept 19 winning 29-0 Fol-lowing the loss Auburn elect-ed to forfeit the second game h e blowout score indicates the Hogs may again dominate the SECHC

Next weekend the Razor-backs will travel to Oklahoma to play the Sooners on Friday and Saturday

Replacing Zach Hocker was never going to be an easy task Hocker made long eld goals look ef ortless and may have spoiled Razorback fans

A missed eld goal didnrsquot hurt the Razorbacks against Northern Illinois but an Southeastern Conference game could possibly hinge on a 42-yard eld goal and John Henson needs to make them

In his career Henson is 5-for-7 kicking eld goals which is respectable but the longest of those is just 25 yards Both of his attempts from outside 30 yards were missed

College football has shown that solid eld goal kicking is a must and the Hogs need Henson to step up and knock down a big one later this sea-son

h e UA online network crashed Sept 8 leaving stu-dents faculty and sta across campus without access to the Internet

h ough enrollment at the UofA has skyrocketed in re-cent years reaching 26000 for the rst time the UA core network hasnrsquot been updated since 2008 and is now dealing with a 23 percent increase in overall enrollment said Da-vid Bruce an associate chief information o cer for cam-pus networks

h is delay in technol-ogy advancement has caused problems for the university in the past and was likely a fac-tor in the network crash Sept 8 Bruce said h e network is beginning to feel the growing

pains of increased enrollmentldquoWe didnrsquot get ahead of it

wersquore behind itrdquo he said ldquoBut wersquore moving in the right direc-tionrdquo

A large campus population means the UA network handles a large amount of tra c Traf- c is the data sent and received by those on the network h e crashes last week were caused by ldquobad tra crdquo on the network Bruce said

ldquoh ere was a new vulner-ability in an internet protocol called the Network Time Pro-tocolrdquo Bruce said

Network Time Protocol or NTP is an Internet proto-col that is used to synchronize the clocks of devices such as phones computers and tablets connected to a network ac-cording to the Network Time Foundation website

ldquoA security issue with the protocol was discovered or

lsquofound in the wildrsquo meaning it was a security aw that has been there for a long time and somebody found it and wrote a program to exploit it and that generated a whole bunch of this bad Network Time Protocol tra crdquo Bruce said

h e program written to exploit NTP security is called a denial-of-service attack that generates a high volume of bad tra c on networks accord-ing to the Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Re-sponse Team website

ldquoh is doesnrsquot speci cally impact the wireless but the way it works is that in order for wireless to work there are no fewer than 12 systems that have to be functional behind the wirelessrdquo Bruce said

If one system is down then wireless access is lost on campush e major sources of bad tra c were identi ed and

stopped by the campus net-works Information Technology Services team Bruce said

An information technol-ogy assessment that covered the entire system on the whole campus was completed over the summer Bruce said

ldquoOne of the recommenda-tions was to view the network as a strategic resource and to engage in a more centralized model for fundingrdquo Bruce said ldquoI think the issues last week put a spotlight on it h e upper administration is beginning to take this seriously and we are going to be engaging in strate-gic planning that will discuss how we fund thingsrdquo

What the UofA has in place now did not protect campus from crashing but going for-ward the focus will be on a long-term solution that will protect the UA network Bruce said

Wireless Network Blackouts Cause Problems on Campus

the street from Harmon is scheduled to open by summer 2015 h e nine classrooms and 12 labs will attract hundreds of students and faculty

When the garage does be-gin to reach capacity o cialsrsquo primary concern will be ensur-ing that permit pass holders can park Transit will rely on entrance gate so ware to track the number of pass holders using the garage Smith said If pass holders begin to ll up available spaces the entrance gates will be programmed to refuse drivers who attempt to park and pay hourly Lot Full signs will be posted outside the garage Smith said

Hourly parking will be re-stricted ldquowhenever we feel it is necessaryrdquo Gilbride said add-ing that such an adjustment would likely take place at the beginning of a semester

Tracking cars would place greater reliance on entrance and exit gates to count parkers using Harmon Garage h ose gates use the same Internet network as the rest of the uni-versity and as a result they are also subject to crashes Smith said

Bad network tra c and a hacker-created virus shut down the UA core router Sept 8 said David Bruce associate chief information o cer for campus networks h e crash le drivers unable to use cred-it cards at Harmon exit gates and long lines stretched from the exit gates to the upper lev-els of the garage Smith said

If a similar scenario was to occur while the gates were being used to regulate which drivers were allowed into Har-mon Parking o cials might

have to deal with pass holders arriving at the garage a er it is full

h e network problem that snarled Harmon has been ad-dressed More problems how-ever could arise

ldquoYou canrsquot say wersquore not go-ing to have any more issues because we always dordquo Bruce said ldquoh ese issues we had last week arenrsquot even the worst outage wersquove ever hadrdquo

h e major network struc-ture at the UofA hasnrsquot been updated since 2008 Bruce said

ldquoI think the entire insti-tution everybody is feeling some of the growing pains from the increased enroll-mentrdquo Bruce said

He added that ultimately all UA o cials can do is work to anticipate and avoid the types of network issues that caused problems in Harmon

Parking o cials are also considering more long-term solutions to ease Harmon parking demand Gilbride said

ldquoWe have talked about expanding the garage to the south if neededrdquo he said

h is expansion could come sometime within the next ve years and because Harmon Garage cannot support extra parking levels the addition would be located at the site of several university owned houses on Harmon Avenue Gilbride said

Until then UA students and faculty may have to plan on walking farther

ldquoWe have hundreds of open spaces on campus theyrsquore just not as close to this areardquo Gil-bride said

Ray Ricersquos Punishment Doesnrsquot Fit the Crime

Enough time has passed Tempers over the incident have simmered slightly and now logic nally has an opportunity to make a guest appearance in the Ray Rice case that was re-leased in a shocking video just a few weeks ago

Prior to the videorsquos release NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell received little resis-tance to the the Baltimore Ra-vens running backrsquos mere two-game suspension but when the tape eventually surfaced Rice was handed an inde nite league wide ban

National news commenta-tors launched on a month long tirade to bring up the issue of domestic violence and bash the league at every opportunity for its handling of crimes commit-ted by its athletes But was the truth lost somewhere in the process

Letrsquos start with the initial punishment being given to Ray Rice Many were critical of Ricersquos two-game ban not be-ing close to enough for a case of assault What many people tend to neglect is the monetary impact that those two games cost Mr Rice which most ana-lysts agree is somewhere in the range of $530000 is does not include the cost incurred by legal fees time lost due to inter-nal league punishments such as mandatory attendance to reed-ucation programs as well as the moral costs to his reputation

Also compared to how Goodell handled past incidenc-es of domestic violence Ricersquos punishment was extremely harsh In 2008 Ahmad Brooks was charged with knocking a woman unconscious and sus-pended only one game 2011 Eric Walden felony assault for

punching his own girlfriend one game 2012 Dez Bryant misdemeanor assault on his own mother no suspension To say that Rice got o scot free is both technically and scally just untrue

ere was also a strange campaign by news outlets to paint the NFL as an multi-bil-lion dollar organization built on a strong foundation of woman beating According to the statis-tics based blog Fivethirtyeight famous for predicting the 2012 election most accurately of all pundits the NFL has a much lower rate of domestic violence than the national average In fact the NFLrsquos average arrest rate is only 13 percent of the national average for all crimes To say that the league is full of rampaging thugs acting with-out legal consequence is based purely on prejudice ironically by social justice warriors look-ing to paint them in a negative light for their own agendas

en there was the state-ment released by Ricersquos then -ance and now wife which was all but entirely thrown in the garbage based on the assump-tion that she didnrsquot have the ability to analyze the situation as a victim

Ironically Janay Rice had the clairvoyance to subsequent-ly criticize the media frenzy over the incident and misrep-resentation of the facts in favor of a more favorable narrative complete with sound bites

erersquos more issues here than canrsquot be t into a space of a little more than a 500 word column Questions of Mrs Rice own case of assault where she initiated the violence by attack-ing her husband to be Why ex-actly this factoid was completely ignored rather than Ray Ricersquos response to the incident has to be the most ba ing fact of the case From a legal perspective she too should be charged with assault

But welcome to the age of digital media where the facts are all but assumed and the context doesnrsquot matter

Traveler Quote of the DayTravTr

Daniel McFarlandASG President

ldquoAssociated Student Government Fall Election Results Announcedrdquo

Pg 2

I feel fairly comfortable assuming that most of my readers have at one time or another had experience with Advanced Placement classes

We all did them in high-school not only to bolster our resumeacutes but to come to college with credit and to make sure our mothers all had bumper stickers reading ldquoIrsquom proud of my AP stu-dentrdquo

According to an article recently published in the Northwest Arkansas Times public schools in the area are seeing large increases in the number of students enroll-ing in AP classes

ldquoO cials attribute the success largely to Act 2152 of 2005 which made Arkansas the only state that pays for its studentsrsquo AP tests according to the article Other factors include the addition of more pre-AP classes at the junior-high level and more training for teachersrdquo

is factoid although seemingly small gave birth to an inner monologue that led me to question the col-legiate version of AP class-esmdashthe honors college Is it worth it

More importantly do they make bumper stick-ers that read ldquoIrsquom proud of myself cause Irsquom an honors studentrdquo

According to the Hon-ors College website ldquoHon-ors students enjoy small in-depth classes priority registration special hous-ing increased interaction with faculty and enhanced opportunities for hands-on researchrdquo

at sentence makes enrolling in the honors pro-gram seem absolutely valu-able and may give an answer to the question posed ear-liermdashitrsquos probably worth it

but that doesnrsquot mean I have no qualms

Priority registration alone stands to justify enrolling in the honors program

It seems valuable at least for your time on campus But did all those AP classes in high school actually help you

Did having a more thor-ough knowledge of the Ming Dynasty than a student who took regular history have a long standing impact on your academic future

It may have and it may not

I was accepted to the UA with a good amount of cred-it which I received from AP classes

at was hugely helpful But in real life advanced credit doesnrsquot necessarily ex-ist

And a er you graduate the honors college or the regular one real life is what yoursquore going to get

But perhaps itrsquos unfair of me to judge the college based on a lack of advanced credit

It would be naiumlve indeed to assert that there is no value in being an honors stu-dent

Beyond the things listed above honors students have access to more scholarship money and study abroad op-portunities

I suppose the questions now raised would read something like this Is it fair to o er advanced opportuni-ties to advanced students Are we not all in theory ad-vanced

Are we not in a massive minority based solely on our title as ldquocollege studentsrdquo We are all advanced simply by being here

It bothers me ever so slightly that my place out-side of the honors college represents missed oppor-tunities for more in depth learning or smaller class size

It bothers me that some-one may give me less schol-arship money or that I may have less exposure to the universityrsquos top professors

ose honors should be-long to every single one of us

UofA Should Strive to Provide Educational Bene ts for all Students Not Just for Honors

Private admission con-sulting has become a new trend amongst stressed out parents and students apply-ing for college across the na-tion

Data shows that getting help from these consultants does result in more accep-tances and better test score results but what about all the students that canrsquot a ord to pay for these services

Itrsquos not fair that individu-als with better nances get an upper hand when it comes to applying and getting ac-cepted into the top schools in the nation

In 2013 over 25 per-cent of all college applicants hired a ldquoprivate admissions consultantrdquo according to Ruth Starkman an academic teaching sta member at Stanford University

Many private admission consultants were once ad-missions readers at colleges which gives students an in-sight on what they are par-ticularly looking for

Most of these services base their models and pro-grams around collected data of previous clients that ap-plied and got accepted into

those institutionsOne of the most popular

services thatrsquos booming in the industry is called ink Tank Learning

It was founded by Steven Ma and over 10000 students are using it bringing in rev-enue of more than eighteen million dollars

ey say that about 85 percent of their applicants get into a top 40 college as ranked by US News and World Report

e average cost for a guaranteed admission in the ink Tank program is about forty thousand dollars

atrsquos roughly the cost of a state college undergraduate education

Sure the owners and CEOrsquos of major companies can a ord to pay this for their kids but the average middle class worker canrsquot even imag-ine doubling the cost for their childrsquos college education

A study by the Federal Re-serve released last month said that from 2010 to 2013 the wealth gap among US house-holds widened and in ation-adjusted income fell for all but the richest households

ldquoIn the more recent three-year period median income fell 17 for people without a high school diploma read the report 2 for high school

graduates and 11 for those with some collegerdquo

However there are less ex-pensive services that students can use such as one o ered by the Independent Educational Consultants Association that costs an average of 4000 dollars but even this can be pricey

To even apply to a school students pay hundreds of dollars Most schools require you to make certain scores on the ACT and SAT tests

Each one of these tests charge about y dollars each time you take them and usually students take them multiple times

Other expenses include application fees and visiting fees

Before a student even gets accepted into an institu-tion theyrsquove already spent so much money

A ording these types of private services can be very di cult for the average per-son

ese private services are critiqued by school counsel-ors and teachers because they believe that these businesses take advantage of the mis-conception that what school you go to really makes a dif-ference in your career

ldquoA good counselor helps students and families get

comfortable with the world as it is not how they wish

e world isnrsquot just iviesrdquo said CEO of IECA Mark Sklarow

ldquoCollege is a match to be made not a prize to be wonrdquo said Jim Conroy chair of post-high school counseling at New Trier Township High School

Colleges should be chosen based upon what suits you personally and what you plan to study and want

Most students strive to pick the top schools because they believe itrsquos whatrsquos going to help them in their careers but Denise Pope a senior lec-turer at Stanford disagrees

She says that research shows that in the majority of cases the undergraduate col-lege you attend doesnrsquot play a serious role in your long term careers

Private admissions con-sultants have gured out ex-actly what universities want and charge people outrageous amounts of money in order to give them the answers

is gives a major disad-vantage to all the underprivi-leged students who canrsquot af-ford it

ldquoMaking the Travelerrsquos Journey Worthwhilerdquo

Will Purdy Sta PhotographerUA students Alec DeHaven and Tyler Casey put in last-minute training for the upcoming climbing competition 24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell At 10 am Friday team CaseyndashDeHaven will compete against 149 other two-man teams to see who can climb the greatest number of routes in 24 hours Casey and DeHavenrsquos goal is to reach 150 routes each

At least four students will compete in a rock climbing competition that has climbers from all over the country traveling to Jasper Arkansas to com-pete Sept 24-28

24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell will be at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch in Jasper and is more than a competi-tion ndash it includes camping food music and games Competitors must have a partner and teams have the option of choosing between participating in a 12 or 24 hour event Teams are placed into one of four categories recreational in-termediate advanced and elite Each climbing route is designated a certain number of points based on diiculty level and competitors earn points for

each route they climb he winner is who has earned the most points at the end 24 HHH strives to bring in a well-known professional climber each year Alex Honnold known for climbing large clifs with no rope to protect him if he falls will be at this yearrsquos 24 HHH competition

Senior Andrew Mayes has been rock climbing for six years his is his irst year to compete in 24 HHH

ldquoClimbing to me in general is about communityrdquo Mayes said

Mayes said rock climbing is a life-style to him and something he was inspired to do Being a professional climber is not the goal

Rock climbing by nature is a little scary and it is typical to fall he said

ldquoItrsquos inspiring to face your fears to be the best that you can berdquo he said

Seeing people have enough passion

to push their limits and work toward their goals is a way to get people to do what they love Mayes said

Something that started out as a hobby became more serious recently when Mayes took a trip to Las Vegas to climb at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area here he did tra-ditional climbing which difers from sport climbing in that climbers must place their own gear to protect against falls In sport climbing there are pro-tection and anchor points permanently installed prior to the climb

ldquoherersquos a lot more to it You almost have to take a step backrdquo Mayes said

Traditional climbing made him see the sport in a new light and traditional climbing felt more authentic and genu-ine he said

ldquoTo me it was like going deeper and deeper into a cave With every step

you take you continue to conquer that fearrdquo Mayes said

Mayesrsquo partner for the competition is junior Courtney Blake

ldquoTogether we had the desire to go out and do a bunch of diferent thingsrdquo Mayes said ldquoWe feed of each otherrdquo

Blake works in the Outdoor Con-nections Center assisting rock climbers at the HPERrsquos rock wall She has also led rock climbing trips She said that she and Mayes motivate each other

For Blake rock climbing is still all about having fun She was irst intro-duced to it her freshman year when she lived in Pomfret and her friends con-tinuously invited her to go climbing with them at the HPER

ldquohe environment is so welcoming which is why I think I kept going back freshman yearrdquo Blake said

Mayes said the competition is re-

ally about endurance and that it can be hard to distinguish diiculty levels Some routes can be harder or easier depending on the climberrsquos height or lexibility for example He and Blake are placed in the intermediate division

his is senior Tyler Caseyrsquos third year to compete in 24 HHH His part-ner for the competition is junior Alec DeHaven

ldquoOnce you get into it you donrsquot real-ly want to get outrdquo Casey said ldquoherersquos a whole culture to itrdquo

He became serious about climbing his sophomore year and said he has met some of his best college friends through going camping and climbing together Itrsquos an accepting crowd he said It began as something he wanted to push himself to be better at and evolved into what consumes most of his free time

Competitive Climbers Find Culture and Fun

Alex GoldenStaf Writer

Studying abroad is the quintessen-tial college experience that impacts students in numerous ways Coming from those who have already been involved there is no shortage of en-couragement for their peers to enjoy the opportunity as well

he possibilities seem almost endless for UA students About 800 students studied abroad last year according to Laura Smith gradu-ate assistant for programming who helped organize an honors study abroad event Tuesday Sept 16

ldquoImmersing yourself in another culture has many beneits both aca-demically and socially Being around other languages food belief systems and cultural outlooks adds fresh perspective and unique experience to any majorminorhellip Exposure to people who are diferent from you is what higher education is all aboutrdquo Smith said

Students can travel to any desti-nation as long as that city doesnrsquot have a travel warning Last year study abroad trips were made to 48 diferent countries in six diferent continents according to Chelsea Hodge assistant director of recruit-ment and speaker at the honors study abroad event Trips are avail-able for speciic majors with partner organizations and exchange pro-grams where international univer-sities swap students with the UofA

Studying abroad helps many stu-dents gain higher level credits and real-world experience in their cho-sen ield For many students seeing their chosen major in a diferent cul-ture is eye-opening

Ryan Wendt a pre-med major studied with the popular Health Teams Abroad program in Sweden to gain six credit hours in his upper level classes Seeing the health care system in Europe was important and the program allowed him to spend half his time visiting diferent hospitals and clinics overseas

For Abby Terlouw studying in Belize for three weeks provided an experience she couldnrsquot gain in the classroom Ater taking classes and learning the facts about her engineering major she inally got the chance to go out and apply her knowledge making the experience unquestioningly valuable for her career

Studying abroad does not have to be all business though Students can also study abroad to earn credits in basic core requirements as well as electives

Jill Tyler an anthropology pre-med major attended the well-estab-lished UofA Center in Rome his destination includes a UofA campus that has been ofering classes since 1989 according to the study abroad website Tyler earned her honors art history and Italian credits while in Rome and said she considers loca-tion of the studies a key piece in the study abroad puzzle

ldquoI had the rest of my college ex-perience to get grades and prepare for the MCAT I wanted summer to be for merdquo Tyler said

She advocated strongly for stu-dents to seek out a country that they can spend time exploring geograph-ically and culturally and in the meantime fall in love with During her stay Tyler traveled through nine

diferent countries in two weeks en-joying herself as well as taking care of required courses

he length of a study abroad trip can vary from two weeks to an entire summer or semester While abroad students stay in hotels dorms or in the homes of a local family in their destination country depending on the program Some of the most popular destinations for students last year were Italy England Spain and Belize

Of course funding is an im-portant consideration for study-ing abroad Knowing the price tag ahead of time allows students to ind scholarships and grants to help them along their way

ldquoStudy abroad trips can range pretty broadly in terms of price de-pending on where you go and how

long you stay Summer programs can cost around $5000 while a se-mester at Oxford could cost close to $30000rdquo Hodge said

here are numerous funding op-portunities for UA students Hodge said Federal inancial aid in the form of Pell Grants or loans are available as well as departmental scholarships Many colleges ofer speciic study abroad funding to their students such as the College of Engineering or Walton Honors students can also apply for special funding like the Sturgis Grant Help is available for students via an advi-sor an appointment with the study abroad oice or the study abroad website

While the application process might seem daunting Hodge also shared several tips She advised

looking for several funding oppor-tunities not just one

Students need to provide tran-scripts letters of recommendation and sometimes essays for certain grants or scholarships If an essay is required speciic relatable details about oneself are the most desirable and successful ingredients for suc-cess

ldquoEmployers graduate schools medical schools etc deinitely look for international experiences on stu-dentsrsquo resumes It indicates an open-ness a desire to connect with the world and with people from a difer-ent culture Itrsquos also just an incred-ible amount of fun When you study abroad you are forced out of your comfort zone and what you can ind there can change your liferdquo Hodge said

Adams Pryor Sta PhotographerAfter years of writing Daniel Sutherland rests his arm on top of a published copy of his book Whistler A Life for Artrsquos Sake His book was released in March and focuses on the life and work of the American-born painter James McNeill Whistler

At 12 years old on a school ield trip to the Detroit Institute of Art a boy stood mesmerized by an impressionistic paint-ing of ireworks ldquohe Falling Rocketsrdquo but it would be decades before he satis-ied his boyhood fascination and wrote a biography about the artist behind the American masterpiece James McNeill Whistler

Daniel Sutherland a distinguished professor of history at the UofA began his research on Whistler in 1999 ater a making a career of writing and teaching about the Civil War

Whistler was born in Massachusetts

in 1834 but moved to Paris early in his adult life to begin his career as an artist in Europe He produced 2700 paintings drawings etchings and lithographs

ldquoI was just looking for a new projectrdquo Sutherland said ldquoI wrote mostly about the Civil War and I was honestly tired of writing about the Civil War I always wanted to write a biography and I decid-ed to try my hand at Whistlerrdquo

he research and writing took him 14 years to complete but Sutherland said ldquoWhistler A Life for Artrsquos Sakerdquo became his favorite out of the nine he has writ-ten

ldquoIt is so diferent from what I have been doingrdquo Sutherland said ldquoWhistler is such a character He sees and thinks about the world in ways that are just new

to me At his time he was really stretch-ing the bounds of what he considered proper art and understandable art He was an impressionist before impression-ism came aboutrdquo

Critics gave Sutherlandrsquos biography high praise and many commented on how well he interwove Whistlerrsquos life and art by using letters he wrote his was the irst biography written about Whistler in 20 years and the irst to give equal atten-tion to his life events as it did to his art and technique

ldquoMost of the other biographies about Whistler were written by art histori-ans who are so focused on the art and explaining technique and things like

With all of the advances in technology and the widespread knowledge of English worldwide many English speakers oten ind it diicult knowing what beneits there are in learning a foreign language Studies suggest that within 10 years many universities will discontinue language courses due to their inefectiveness in the professional ield

Learning another language has long term beneits Students at the UofA study-ing a variety of languages have plenty to advise on this issue

Andrew Billingsley junior is studying international relations and Middle East-ern studies with a minor in Arabic

ldquohe Middle East is where the world has deemed important in the current times I got into Arabic for potential gov-ernment and military jobsrdquo Billingsley said ldquoMy hope is to obtain a government position in counter-terrorism and intel-ligence Arabic is absolutely necessary for this due to our nationrsquos interest in that re-gionrdquo

Another student senior Macyn Hunn is in the same Arabic class Intensive Ara-bic III as Billingsley

ldquoI started taking Arabic because my best friend was taking itrdquo Hunn said ldquoAf-ter a while I found that I enjoyed it It has steered the career path I am wanting to go into I might work for a company that is employed by the military or government he way I see it if you know Arabic yoursquore pretty much guaranteed a jobrdquo

Another up-and-coming language is Mandarin Taylor Weiss freshman has had previous experience from high school with Chinese and said she plans on mi-noring in it for her international business major here were many languages to choose from but she chose Chinese

ldquoI originally chose to learn Chinese because I was interested in joining the Navy However once my interest changed towards business I realized how perfect Chinese would be for thatrdquo she said ldquoA large majority of our countryrsquos trade and business is done with China making it highly strategic to become an expert in their language Not to mention that I love the culture Learning it is deinitely chal-lenging but Irsquom enjoying every minute of itrdquo

Alex Webb is a sophomore health nu-trition and hospital major with a minor

in Japanese As a kid he loved watching cartoons like ldquoDragon Ball Zrdquo in Japanese subtitles His interest for that grew into passion and he watched more and more advanced shows

ldquoLast summer I went to study abroad in Japan It was an incredible experience As for my future I am in the military so knowing Japanese will help beneit my marketability and also ofer more beneits now and for future jobsrdquo he said

Webb plans to continue to learn the Japanese language and pursue their cul-ture

he two most commonly studied and known foreign languages in the United States are Spanish and French Students oten wonder how they could beneit from knowing one of these more common lan-guages

Junior Darcie Nixon is a Spanish ma-jor She said her long-term goal in using this degree is to be able to relate better to Spanish-speakers and do mission work overseas

ldquoMy dream job is to be an interpreter for a missionrsquos base or an English teacher for a Spanish-speaking schoolrdquo she said

When asked why she chose Spanish when so many other people know it she said ldquoKnowing Spanish is a good skillset

to have As for it being too common and a waste of time I think itrsquos arrogant to think that learning a new skillset will hinder you Itrsquos better to be a master of something rather than staying stagnantrdquo

Drew Steinbeck a senior and French minor said ldquoPeople donrsquot really realize it but French is one of the biggest business languages in the world right up there with Chineserdquo

Steinbeck is majoring in apparel stud-ies and plans to live in Paris and work in the fashion industry and business He looks forward to being an expert in the French language and combining it with his dream job for apparel

In addition to these languages the uni-versity ofers courses in even more such as Italian Russian German Swahili and the classics which consists of Latin and Greek

It has never harmed anyone to be-come knowledgeable or even luent in a language Not to mention it is fun chal-lenging and always helpful and impres-sive when traveling to a country where you can speak some of the native peoplersquos tongue Its beneits for life and boosting of marketability to the professional ield are reasons enough to consider furthering an education in a foreign language

Ogden said she agreed that collegiate twirl-ing is all about pleasing the crowd

ldquoMy main goal is to be an entertainer on the eld I have the opportunity to do whatever I pleaserdquo she said ldquoIt is more like a freestyle compared to the competitive twirling stylerdquo

ldquoe RMB is an amazing organizationrdquo Og-den said ldquoere is nothing better than spending game day with the Razorback Marching Band Performing pregame and haltime are absolute highlights of my years in college so farrdquo

that that they kind of skim over his life and the events in his life that really explain much of the art and the directions he tookrdquo Sutherland said

Not only did 14 years of hard work pay of in the form of a com-pleted and well-praised work of writing Sutherlandrsquos work also be-came part of a PBS documentary ldquoJames McNeill Whistler amp he Case for Beautyrdquo he documentary aired nationally Sept 12 on PBS af-iliates and is available to buy

Sutherland said he was irst ap-proached to help with the docu-mentary in 2005 He was inish-ing his research on Whistler and beginning to write while visiting Cambridge when the producer of the ilm Karen homas contacted him

ldquoSomeone had told Karen about me and that I was one of the peo-ple she needed to talk tordquo Suther-land said ldquoShe asked me if I would be one of the consultants on the script which I agreed to dordquo

Sutherland helped show hom-as around the places Whistler had lived gave hours of interview time and proofed the script for accura-cy Nine years later they arrived at the inished product

ldquohese things take timerdquo Sutherland said ldquoWhen you get down to the end it has to be so precise I remember with the last drat she said lsquoWe have to cut ive seconds Where can we cut ive secondsrsquo It was a challenge in that respectrdquo

Anyone thinking about enter-ing the ield of history must be willing to dedicate years to school Sutherland said

ldquoItrsquos tough nowadaysrdquo Suther-land said ldquoMake sure that is what you want to do that you are will-ing to devote six or seven years to graduate school It takes as much time as it does to become a medical doctor and the inancial rewards are not as great

ldquoBut I am one of those who de-cided that that really was what I

wanted to do And if luck is with you and you stick to it you can re-alize that ambitionrdquo he said

Sutherlandrsquos background in-stilled in him the ambition to pur-sue history speciically the Civil War he said

Although he grew up in Detroit and attended northern schools he said his family originally came from southern farmlands Both sets of grandparents moved in the 1920s to work in the auto shops

ldquohey were always talking about the Civil War and from a south-ern perspectiverdquo Sutherland said ldquoHearing their stories and then attending northern schools and seeing a northern perspective on the war it was always kind of fas-cinated to merdquo

Again it took Sutherland time to realize his fascination could turn into more than an interest It was not until ater his time in the Navy and when he decided to go to graduate school that he decided to pursue history he said

ldquoI always had a boyhood inter-est in historyrdquo Sutherland said ldquoI came back ater my service and there were no jobs teaching so I just decided to go to grad school It was only then really at the age of about 24 that I decided this (being a historian) looked like a possible careerrdquo

Aside from the nine books he wrote Sutherland has edited or co-edited six other books Most of them were focused on the Civil War and 19th century American society He has received more than 40 honors awards and research grants for his work

Sutherland is working on a new book this time about Whistlerrsquos mother who is the subject of one of Whistlerrsquos most famous works

ldquoI have had so much fun writing about Whistlerrdquo Sutherland said ldquoMy new project I am working on is a biography about his mother the famous portrait I am reluctant to leave that world Itrsquos so much funrdquo

COMMENTARY

h e Razorbacksrsquo quick turn-around at er their season open-ing loss to Auburn has turned heads and caught the attention

of national mediaArkansasrsquo improvement is

evident to every person who has tuned in to a game this season If those same people have tuned in to a game featur-ing another SEC West school however they would realize the quick impressive start by Ar-kansas is just par for the course in the division

h e Southeastern Confer-encersquos Western division is sim-ply the best division in all of college football Itrsquos been this way for quite some time and itrsquos not even debatable h e SEC West is practically a Power 5 conference all on its own

What also is not debatable is that the division is at an all-

time high in regards to compet-itiveness from top to bottom

Six of seven schools in the Western division are ranked in the most recent Amway Coaches Poll which was re-leased Sunday Arkansas was the odd man out h e remain-ing six schools were all ranked in the top 18

Mississippi State found its way into the top 25 at er an impressive win in Baton Rouge in front of more than 102000 screaming Cajuns h e Bull-dogs jumped 11 spots to No 16 while LSU fell 10 spots to No 18

Alabama heads the division at No 2 followed by Auburn at No 5 Texas AampM at No 7

and Ole Miss at No 11 It isnrsquot as if Arkansasrsquo performances the past few weeks are going unnoticed however h e Ra-zorbacks considered a bottom feeder in the SEC again this preseason received 17 votes in the Coaches Poll

Teams in the division can-not af ord to take a week of h ere is no overlooking teams or guaranteed wins like in the other so-called ldquotop football conferencesrdquo

h e Big Ten has Illinois Minnesota and Purdue h e Big 12 has Iowa State Kansas and dare I say Texas who is of to a tragically slow start h e Atlantic Coast Conference has Wake Forest Boston College

and Syracuse and the Pac-12 has Washington State and Col-orado to beat up on each week

h e SEC has only Vander-bilt but the Commodores gave No 15 South Carolina all they wanted and more last Satur-day It took a 21-point fourth quarter for the Gamecocks to escape Nashville alive

Kentucky also not a push-over anymore and Arkansas have been the surprises of the SEC thus far Both programs are vastly improved over the teams they i elded a season ago Opponents can no longer deem the schools guaranteed wins

With the current state of the SEC and the Western di-

vision in particular Arkansasrsquo quick start is seen by many as just what they needed to do to keep up Alabama Auburn Texas AampM and the other divi-sion opponents wait for no one Teams have to either get busy winning or be the black sheep of the division

Herersquos a i nal stat to ponder the SEC West is the only divi-sion among Power 5 confer-ences ndash Pac 12 Big 12 Big Ten ACC and SEC ndash to not have a team at or below the 500 mark this season

Arkansasrsquo start to the season is impressive considering low expectations but these days in the SEC West itrsquos just par for the course

Arkansasrsquo Quick Start Par for Course in Tough SEC West

h e Razorbacks head to Arlington Texas on Satur-day to take on No 6 Texas AampM in the much anticipated Southwest Classic

h is is the i rst time the game will be played in ATampT Stadium since AampM joined the Southeastern Conference in 2012

h is matchup which dates back to 1903 has a rich ri-valry h e teams stopped their annual matchup in 1991 when Arkansas joined the SEC h e series was renewed in 2009 under the name Southwest Classic and the teams now return to a neutral site ndash the

home of the Dallas Cowboysh e Razorbacks lead the

all-time series record 41-26-3 though AampM has won the last three years h e Aggies (4-0 1-0 SEC) have won all of their games by at least 24 points scoring 163 points so far this season

Some worried about what would happen to the Aggie of ense this season at er los-ing Johnny Manziel Mike Evans and Jake Matthews to the NFL but those fears were quickly put away at er sopho-more quarterback Kenny Hillrsquos record breaking season opener against South Caro-lina

Virtually unstoppable Hill not only broke Manzielrsquos single game passing record

but his 1094 passing yards in the i rst three games also beat Manzielrsquos record of 984 set in 2013 Hill has completed 97 passes for 1359 yards and 13 touchdowns with one inter-ception so far While Hill is a force in the pocket he is also competent on his feet rushing for 106 yards this season

h e Aggiesrsquo passing game is extremely dangerous large-ly in part to the depth of the receiving corps Any receiver on the roster is likely to make a catch making the Aggies in-credibly dii cult to defend

Seven Aggie receivers have more than 100 yards receiving so far this season and nine have caught touchdowns Se-nior Malcome Kennedy has been targeted most this sea-

son putting up 334 yards and a touchdown Josh Reynolds however has made it into the end zone four times and racked up 247 yards receiving

Despite averaging 405 passing yards a game this season the Aggies are 40th nationally in rushing yards averaging 207 a game

Like their receivers the Aggies give playing time to a host of running backs Six dif erent backs have more than 100 yards rushing Trey Williams Brandon Williams James White and Tra Carson see the most carries averag-ing 64 yards per carry col-lectively Carson and Wil-liams lead the team in rushing touchdowns with four each

AampMrsquos dynamic and pow-

erful of ense which was in-credibly dii cult to slow down last year with Evans and John-ny Football looks to be just as hard if not harder to stop this year

On the other side of the ball AampM has allowed only one touchdown in the last three games and is averaging

nearly four sacks a game so far this season

While the Aggies rank sec-ond in the country in points scored with an average of 55 a game Arkansas is third with an average of nearly 49 h e outcome of the game should be determined by whose de-fense can get the most stops

At er a third straight win of more than 20 points it may be hard to i nd nega-tives h ere are certainly a lot of positives to take from the third week of the season but no game has been perfect and the cup-cake schedule is over for the Hogs h ree straight games against top-15 teams are up next With the meat of the schedule looming here is a look at both the good and bad from SaturdayBuy Brandon Allen Pass-ing

All season Bret Bielema has called the passing game ldquothe best kept secret in Fay-ettevillerdquo

h is week fans got a little glimpse of what they could do It wasnrsquot spectacu-lar but it was ei cient Al-lenrsquos 68 percent completion percentage was the highest of his career when throwing 10 or more passes

His 199 passing yards

might not jump of the stats page but both touchdowns were well-thrown balls and Bielema raved about the job Allen did of going through his progression

Seven dif erent Razor-backs caught a pass and that was without Demetrius Wilson who was sidelined with an ankle injurySell Brandon Allen Diving

As much as players love to see their quarterback go all out for the team for the love of God Allen quit div-ing into the end zone

Last seasonrsquos shoulder in-jury against Southern Miss was because of diving into the end zone His shoulder is the key to Arkansas mak-ing a bowl game this season meaning those risky dives arenrsquot something he should be doing

His mobility is a tool and a weapon though He had a key scramble on a third down to keep a drive alive but if Allen is going to run he needs to learn to slide

Razorback Hockey Club Looks to Continue Winning Tradition

son was in 2008 and coach Brian Gallini has headed the Ice Hogs since the 2009-2010 season Since Gallini has been

head coach Arkansasrsquo record is 138-38-2 winning at nearly 80 percent of their games

Last year the Razorback

hockey team went 31-8 in the regular season h ey con-tinued into the postseason and beat Alabama to win the SECHC championship

Much of this success can be attributed to the work eth-ic of the team Gallini said

ldquoOur winning tradition comes from a fundamental belief in the strength of our programrsquos culture ndash a culture that emphasizes the impor-tance of players placing the team before themselvesrdquo Gallini said ldquoSo long as each player buys into our culture and how we do things the scoreboard alongside our overall season record takes care of itselfrdquo

h e team made an appear-ance at nationals last season dropping their opening game

to Adrian College At er the loss Arkansas pummeled Neumann University 14-6 and thumped the University of Central Florida 6-2

h e leading scorer two of the past three seasons was Sundstedt In 2011 he led the team with 25 goals In 2012 he fell short of the teamrsquos top scorer by just three goals but accounted for 39 assists Last season he led the team with 27 goals

Ryan Machos has also been a signi cant player on the team He led the team in goals with 30 in 2012 and was just behind Sundstedt and Marcel Toure with 22 goals in 2013

h e loss of Sundstedt will leave a void in the team and someone will have to take

initiative to become the next scoring leader

ldquoMarty was a special player who contributed an extraordinary amount to the Razorback hockey programrdquo Gallini said ldquoOur team will miss his on-ice skill alongside his of -the-ice leadershiprdquo

However there are new weapons for the Hogs that will help ll his place

Gallini said he expects a lot from new recruits Landyn Howze Matt Robinson and Colin South h ese players are expected to contribute to the of ense immediately

Veterans Machos and For-est Mudgett are projected to continue their of ensive success Meanwhile Oliver Easton will remain a power-ful weapon on defense

ldquoh is yearrsquos team is excep-tionally deeprdquo Gallini said ldquoOn any given night we ex-pect dif erent players to ll the void Martyrsquos departure leavesrdquo

Arkansasrsquo hockey season began against Metro State with two games h e Hogs lost the rst game but won an overtime shootout to win the second game

Arkansas opened confer-ence play against Auburn on Sept 19 winning 29-0 Fol-lowing the loss Auburn elect-ed to forfeit the second game h e blowout score indicates the Hogs may again dominate the SECHC

Next weekend the Razor-backs will travel to Oklahoma to play the Sooners on Friday and Saturday

Replacing Zach Hocker was never going to be an easy task Hocker made long eld goals look ef ortless and may have spoiled Razorback fans

A missed eld goal didnrsquot hurt the Razorbacks against Northern Illinois but an Southeastern Conference game could possibly hinge on a 42-yard eld goal and John Henson needs to make them

In his career Henson is 5-for-7 kicking eld goals which is respectable but the longest of those is just 25 yards Both of his attempts from outside 30 yards were missed

College football has shown that solid eld goal kicking is a must and the Hogs need Henson to step up and knock down a big one later this sea-son

Ray Ricersquos Punishment Doesnrsquot Fit the Crime

Enough time has passed Tempers over the incident have simmered slightly and now logic nally has an opportunity to make a guest appearance in the Ray Rice case that was re-leased in a shocking video just a few weeks ago

Prior to the videorsquos release NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell received little resis-tance to the the Baltimore Ra-vens running backrsquos mere two-game suspension but when the tape eventually surfaced Rice was handed an inde nite league wide ban

National news commenta-tors launched on a month long tirade to bring up the issue of domestic violence and bash the league at every opportunity for its handling of crimes commit-ted by its athletes But was the truth lost somewhere in the process

Letrsquos start with the initial punishment being given to Ray Rice Many were critical of Ricersquos two-game ban not be-ing close to enough for a case of assault What many people tend to neglect is the monetary impact that those two games cost Mr Rice which most ana-lysts agree is somewhere in the range of $530000 is does not include the cost incurred by legal fees time lost due to inter-nal league punishments such as mandatory attendance to reed-ucation programs as well as the moral costs to his reputation

Also compared to how Goodell handled past incidenc-es of domestic violence Ricersquos punishment was extremely harsh In 2008 Ahmad Brooks was charged with knocking a woman unconscious and sus-pended only one game 2011 Eric Walden felony assault for

punching his own girlfriend one game 2012 Dez Bryant misdemeanor assault on his own mother no suspension To say that Rice got o scot free is both technically and scally just untrue

ere was also a strange campaign by news outlets to paint the NFL as an multi-bil-lion dollar organization built on a strong foundation of woman beating According to the statis-tics based blog Fivethirtyeight famous for predicting the 2012 election most accurately of all pundits the NFL has a much lower rate of domestic violence than the national average In fact the NFLrsquos average arrest rate is only 13 percent of the national average for all crimes To say that the league is full of rampaging thugs acting with-out legal consequence is based purely on prejudice ironically by social justice warriors look-ing to paint them in a negative light for their own agendas

en there was the state-ment released by Ricersquos then -ance and now wife which was all but entirely thrown in the garbage based on the assump-tion that she didnrsquot have the ability to analyze the situation as a victim

Ironically Janay Rice had the clairvoyance to subsequent-ly criticize the media frenzy over the incident and misrep-resentation of the facts in favor of a more favorable narrative complete with sound bites

erersquos more issues here than canrsquot be t into a space of a little more than a 500 word column Questions of Mrs Rice own case of assault where she initiated the violence by attack-ing her husband to be Why ex-actly this factoid was completely ignored rather than Ray Ricersquos response to the incident has to be the most ba ing fact of the case From a legal perspective she too should be charged with assault

But welcome to the age of digital media where the facts are all but assumed and the context doesnrsquot matter

Traveler Quote of the DayTravTr

Daniel McFarlandASG President

ldquoAssociated Student Government Fall Election Results Announcedrdquo

Pg 2

I feel fairly comfortable assuming that most of my readers have at one time or another had experience with Advanced Placement classes

We all did them in high-school not only to bolster our resumeacutes but to come to college with credit and to make sure our mothers all had bumper stickers reading ldquoIrsquom proud of my AP stu-dentrdquo

According to an article recently published in the Northwest Arkansas Times public schools in the area are seeing large increases in the number of students enroll-ing in AP classes

ldquoO cials attribute the success largely to Act 2152 of 2005 which made Arkansas the only state that pays for its studentsrsquo AP tests according to the article Other factors include the addition of more pre-AP classes at the junior-high level and more training for teachersrdquo

is factoid although seemingly small gave birth to an inner monologue that led me to question the col-legiate version of AP class-esmdashthe honors college Is it worth it

More importantly do they make bumper stick-ers that read ldquoIrsquom proud of myself cause Irsquom an honors studentrdquo

According to the Hon-ors College website ldquoHon-ors students enjoy small in-depth classes priority registration special hous-ing increased interaction with faculty and enhanced opportunities for hands-on researchrdquo

at sentence makes enrolling in the honors pro-gram seem absolutely valu-able and may give an answer to the question posed ear-liermdashitrsquos probably worth it

but that doesnrsquot mean I have no qualms

Priority registration alone stands to justify enrolling in the honors program

It seems valuable at least for your time on campus But did all those AP classes in high school actually help you

Did having a more thor-ough knowledge of the Ming Dynasty than a student who took regular history have a long standing impact on your academic future

It may have and it may not

I was accepted to the UA with a good amount of cred-it which I received from AP classes

at was hugely helpful But in real life advanced credit doesnrsquot necessarily ex-ist

And a er you graduate the honors college or the regular one real life is what yoursquore going to get

But perhaps itrsquos unfair of me to judge the college based on a lack of advanced credit

It would be naiumlve indeed to assert that there is no value in being an honors stu-dent

Beyond the things listed above honors students have access to more scholarship money and study abroad op-portunities

I suppose the questions now raised would read something like this Is it fair to o er advanced opportuni-ties to advanced students Are we not all in theory ad-vanced

Are we not in a massive minority based solely on our title as ldquocollege studentsrdquo We are all advanced simply by being here

It bothers me ever so slightly that my place out-side of the honors college represents missed oppor-tunities for more in depth learning or smaller class size

It bothers me that some-one may give me less schol-arship money or that I may have less exposure to the universityrsquos top professors

ose honors should be-long to every single one of us

UofA Should Strive to Provide Educational Bene ts for all Students Not Just for Honors

Private admission con-sulting has become a new trend amongst stressed out parents and students apply-ing for college across the na-tion

Data shows that getting help from these consultants does result in more accep-tances and better test score results but what about all the students that canrsquot a ord to pay for these services

Itrsquos not fair that individu-als with better nances get an upper hand when it comes to applying and getting ac-cepted into the top schools in the nation

In 2013 over 25 per-cent of all college applicants hired a ldquoprivate admissions consultantrdquo according to Ruth Starkman an academic teaching sta member at Stanford University

Many private admission consultants were once ad-missions readers at colleges which gives students an in-sight on what they are par-ticularly looking for

Most of these services base their models and pro-grams around collected data of previous clients that ap-plied and got accepted into

those institutionsOne of the most popular

services thatrsquos booming in the industry is called ink Tank Learning

It was founded by Steven Ma and over 10000 students are using it bringing in rev-enue of more than eighteen million dollars

ey say that about 85 percent of their applicants get into a top 40 college as ranked by US News and World Report

e average cost for a guaranteed admission in the ink Tank program is about forty thousand dollars

atrsquos roughly the cost of a state college undergraduate education

Sure the owners and CEOrsquos of major companies can a ord to pay this for their kids but the average middle class worker canrsquot even imag-ine doubling the cost for their childrsquos college education

A study by the Federal Re-serve released last month said that from 2010 to 2013 the wealth gap among US house-holds widened and in ation-adjusted income fell for all but the richest households

ldquoIn the more recent three-year period median income fell 17 for people without a high school diploma read the report 2 for high school

graduates and 11 for those with some collegerdquo

However there are less ex-pensive services that students can use such as one o ered by the Independent Educational Consultants Association that costs an average of 4000 dollars but even this can be pricey

To even apply to a school students pay hundreds of dollars Most schools require you to make certain scores on the ACT and SAT tests

Each one of these tests charge about y dollars each time you take them and usually students take them multiple times

Other expenses include application fees and visiting fees

Before a student even gets accepted into an institu-tion theyrsquove already spent so much money

A ording these types of private services can be very di cult for the average per-son

ese private services are critiqued by school counsel-ors and teachers because they believe that these businesses take advantage of the mis-conception that what school you go to really makes a dif-ference in your career

ldquoA good counselor helps students and families get

comfortable with the world as it is not how they wish

e world isnrsquot just iviesrdquo said CEO of IECA Mark Sklarow

ldquoCollege is a match to be made not a prize to be wonrdquo said Jim Conroy chair of post-high school counseling at New Trier Township High School

Colleges should be chosen based upon what suits you personally and what you plan to study and want

ldquoMaking the Travelerrsquos Journey Worthwhilerdquo

Will Purdy Sta PhotographerUA students Alec DeHaven and Tyler Casey put in last-minute training for the upcoming climbing competition 24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell At 10 am Friday team CaseyndashDeHaven will compete against 149 other two-man teams to see who can climb the greatest number of routes in 24 hours Casey and DeHavenrsquos goal is to reach 150 routes each

At least four students will compete in a rock climbing competition that has climbers from all over the country traveling to Jasper Arkansas to com-pete Sept 24-28

24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell will be at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch in Jasper and is more than a competi-tion ndash it includes camping food music and games Competitors must have a partner and teams have the option of choosing between participating in a 12 or 24 hour event Teams are placed into one of four categories recreational in-termediate advanced and elite Each climbing route is designated a certain number of points based on diiculty level and competitors earn points for

each route they climb he winner is who has earned the most points at the end 24 HHH strives to bring in a well-known professional climber each year Alex Honnold known for climbing large clifs with no rope to protect him if he falls will be at this yearrsquos 24 HHH competition

Senior Andrew Mayes has been rock climbing for six years his is his irst year to compete in 24 HHH

ldquoClimbing to me in general is about communityrdquo Mayes said

Mayes said rock climbing is a life-style to him and something he was inspired to do Being a professional climber is not the goal

Rock climbing by nature is a little scary and it is typical to fall he said

ldquoItrsquos inspiring to face your fears to be the best that you can berdquo he said

Seeing people have enough passion

to push their limits and work toward their goals is a way to get people to do what they love Mayes said

Something that started out as a hobby became more serious recently when Mayes took a trip to Las Vegas to climb at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area here he did tra-ditional climbing which difers from sport climbing in that climbers must place their own gear to protect against falls In sport climbing there are pro-tection and anchor points permanently installed prior to the climb

ldquoherersquos a lot more to it You almost have to take a step backrdquo Mayes said

Traditional climbing made him see the sport in a new light and traditional climbing felt more authentic and genu-ine he said

ldquoTo me it was like going deeper and deeper into a cave With every step

you take you continue to conquer that fearrdquo Mayes said

Mayesrsquo partner for the competition is junior Courtney Blake

ldquoTogether we had the desire to go out and do a bunch of diferent thingsrdquo Mayes said ldquoWe feed of each otherrdquo

Blake works in the Outdoor Con-nections Center assisting rock climbers at the HPERrsquos rock wall She has also led rock climbing trips She said that she and Mayes motivate each other

For Blake rock climbing is still all about having fun She was irst intro-duced to it her freshman year when she lived in Pomfret and her friends con-tinuously invited her to go climbing with them at the HPER

ldquohe environment is so welcoming which is why I think I kept going back freshman yearrdquo Blake said

Mayes said the competition is re-

ally about endurance and that it can be hard to distinguish diiculty levels Some routes can be harder or easier depending on the climberrsquos height or lexibility for example He and Blake are placed in the intermediate division

his is senior Tyler Caseyrsquos third year to compete in 24 HHH His part-ner for the competition is junior Alec DeHaven

ldquoOnce you get into it you donrsquot real-ly want to get outrdquo Casey said ldquoherersquos a whole culture to itrdquo

He became serious about climbing his sophomore year and said he has met some of his best college friends through going camping and climbing together Itrsquos an accepting crowd he said It began as something he wanted to push himself to be better at and evolved into what consumes most of his free time

Competitive Climbers Find Culture and Fun

Alex GoldenStaf Writer

Studying abroad is the quintessen-tial college experience that impacts students in numerous ways Coming from those who have already been involved there is no shortage of en-couragement for their peers to enjoy the opportunity as well

he possibilities seem almost endless for UA students About 800 students studied abroad last year according to Laura Smith gradu-ate assistant for programming who helped organize an honors study abroad event Tuesday Sept 16

ldquoImmersing yourself in another culture has many beneits both aca-demically and socially Being around other languages food belief systems and cultural outlooks adds fresh perspective and unique experience to any majorminorhellip Exposure to people who are diferent from you is what higher education is all aboutrdquo Smith said

Students can travel to any desti-nation as long as that city doesnrsquot have a travel warning Last year study abroad trips were made to 48 diferent countries in six diferent continents according to Chelsea Hodge assistant director of recruit-ment and speaker at the honors study abroad event Trips are avail-able for speciic majors with partner organizations and exchange pro-grams where international univer-sities swap students with the UofA

Studying abroad helps many stu-dents gain higher level credits and real-world experience in their cho-sen ield For many students seeing their chosen major in a diferent cul-ture is eye-opening

Ryan Wendt a pre-med major studied with the popular Health Teams Abroad program in Sweden to gain six credit hours in his upper level classes Seeing the health care system in Europe was important and the program allowed him to spend half his time visiting diferent hospitals and clinics overseas

For Abby Terlouw studying in Belize for three weeks provided an experience she couldnrsquot gain in the classroom Ater taking classes and learning the facts about her engineering major she inally got the chance to go out and apply her knowledge making the experience unquestioningly valuable for her career

Studying abroad does not have to be all business though Students can also study abroad to earn credits in basic core requirements as well as electives

Jill Tyler an anthropology pre-med major attended the well-estab-lished UofA Center in Rome his destination includes a UofA campus that has been ofering classes since 1989 according to the study abroad website Tyler earned her honors art history and Italian credits while in Rome and said she considers loca-tion of the studies a key piece in the study abroad puzzle

ldquoI had the rest of my college ex-perience to get grades and prepare for the MCAT I wanted summer to be for merdquo Tyler said

She advocated strongly for stu-dents to seek out a country that they can spend time exploring geograph-ically and culturally and in the meantime fall in love with During her stay Tyler traveled through nine

diferent countries in two weeks en-joying herself as well as taking care of required courses

he length of a study abroad trip can vary from two weeks to an entire summer or semester While abroad students stay in hotels dorms or in the homes of a local family in their destination country depending on the program Some of the most popular destinations for students last year were Italy England Spain and Belize

Of course funding is an im-portant consideration for study-ing abroad Knowing the price tag ahead of time allows students to ind scholarships and grants to help them along their way

ldquoStudy abroad trips can range pretty broadly in terms of price de-pending on where you go and how

long you stay Summer programs can cost around $5000 while a se-mester at Oxford could cost close to $30000rdquo Hodge said

here are numerous funding op-portunities for UA students Hodge said Federal inancial aid in the form of Pell Grants or loans are available as well as departmental scholarships Many colleges ofer speciic study abroad funding to their students such as the College of Engineering or Walton Honors students can also apply for special funding like the Sturgis Grant Help is available for students via an advi-sor an appointment with the study abroad oice or the study abroad website

While the application process might seem daunting Hodge also shared several tips She advised

looking for several funding oppor-tunities not just one

Students need to provide tran-scripts letters of recommendation and sometimes essays for certain grants or scholarships If an essay is required speciic relatable details about oneself are the most desirable and successful ingredients for suc-cess

ldquoEmployers graduate schools medical schools etc deinitely look for international experiences on stu-dentsrsquo resumes It indicates an open-ness a desire to connect with the world and with people from a difer-ent culture Itrsquos also just an incred-ible amount of fun When you study abroad you are forced out of your comfort zone and what you can ind there can change your liferdquo Hodge said

Adams Pryor Sta PhotographerAfter years of writing Daniel Sutherland rests his arm on top of a published copy of his book Whistler A Life for Artrsquos Sake His book was released in March and focuses on the life and work of the American-born painter James McNeill Whistler

At 12 years old on a school ield trip to the Detroit Institute of Art a boy stood mesmerized by an impressionistic paint-ing of ireworks ldquohe Falling Rocketsrdquo but it would be decades before he satis-ied his boyhood fascination and wrote a biography about the artist behind the American masterpiece James McNeill Whistler

Daniel Sutherland a distinguished professor of history at the UofA began his research on Whistler in 1999 ater a making a career of writing and teaching about the Civil War

Whistler was born in Massachusetts

in 1834 but moved to Paris early in his adult life to begin his career as an artist in Europe He produced 2700 paintings drawings etchings and lithographs

ldquoI was just looking for a new projectrdquo Sutherland said ldquoI wrote mostly about the Civil War and I was honestly tired of writing about the Civil War I always wanted to write a biography and I decid-ed to try my hand at Whistlerrdquo

he research and writing took him 14 years to complete but Sutherland said ldquoWhistler A Life for Artrsquos Sakerdquo became his favorite out of the nine he has writ-ten

ldquoIt is so diferent from what I have been doingrdquo Sutherland said ldquoWhistler is such a character He sees and thinks about the world in ways that are just new

to me At his time he was really stretch-ing the bounds of what he considered proper art and understandable art He was an impressionist before impression-ism came aboutrdquo

Critics gave Sutherlandrsquos biography high praise and many commented on how well he interwove Whistlerrsquos life and art by using letters he wrote his was the irst biography written about Whistler in 20 years and the irst to give equal atten-tion to his life events as it did to his art and technique

ldquoMost of the other biographies about Whistler were written by art histori-ans who are so focused on the art and explaining technique and things like

Childhood Dreams Fall Into Place for Distinguished History ProfessorAshton EleyStaf Writer

With all of the advances in technology and the widespread knowledge of English worldwide many English speakers oten ind it diicult knowing what beneits there are in learning a foreign language Studies suggest that within 10 years many universities will discontinue language courses due to their inefectiveness in the professional ield

Learning another language has long term beneits Students at the UofA study-ing a variety of languages have plenty to advise on this issue

Andrew Billingsley junior is studying international relations and Middle East-ern studies with a minor in Arabic

ldquohe Middle East is where the world has deemed important in the current times I got into Arabic for potential gov-ernment and military jobsrdquo Billingsley said ldquoMy hope is to obtain a government position in counter-terrorism and intel-ligence Arabic is absolutely necessary for this due to our nationrsquos interest in that re-gionrdquo

Another student senior Macyn Hunn is in the same Arabic class Intensive Ara-bic III as Billingsley

ldquoI started taking Arabic because my best friend was taking itrdquo Hunn said ldquoAf-ter a while I found that I enjoyed it It has steered the career path I am wanting to go into I might work for a company that is employed by the military or government he way I see it if you know Arabic yoursquore pretty much guaranteed a jobrdquo

Another up-and-coming language is Mandarin Taylor Weiss freshman has had previous experience from high school with Chinese and said she plans on mi-noring in it for her international business major here were many languages to choose from but she chose Chinese

ldquoI originally chose to learn Chinese because I was interested in joining the Navy However once my interest changed towards business I realized how perfect Chinese would be for thatrdquo she said ldquoA large majority of our countryrsquos trade and business is done with China making it highly strategic to become an expert in their language Not to mention that I love the culture Learning it is deinitely chal-lenging but Irsquom enjoying every minute of itrdquo

Alex Webb is a sophomore health nu-trition and hospital major with a minor

in Japanese As a kid he loved watching cartoons like ldquoDragon Ball Zrdquo in Japanese subtitles His interest for that grew into passion and he watched more and more advanced shows

ldquoLast summer I went to study abroad in Japan It was an incredible experience As for my future I am in the military so knowing Japanese will help beneit my marketability and also ofer more beneits now and for future jobsrdquo he said

Webb plans to continue to learn the Japanese language and pursue their cul-ture

he two most commonly studied and known foreign languages in the United States are Spanish and French Students oten wonder how they could beneit from knowing one of these more common lan-guages

Junior Darcie Nixon is a Spanish ma-jor She said her long-term goal in using this degree is to be able to relate better to Spanish-speakers and do mission work overseas

ldquoMy dream job is to be an interpreter for a missionrsquos base or an English teacher for a Spanish-speaking schoolrdquo she said

When asked why she chose Spanish when so many other people know it she said ldquoKnowing Spanish is a good skillset

to have As for it being too common and a waste of time I think itrsquos arrogant to think that learning a new skillset will hinder you Itrsquos better to be a master of something rather than staying stagnantrdquo

Drew Steinbeck a senior and French minor said ldquoPeople donrsquot really realize it but French is one of the biggest business languages in the world right up there with Chineserdquo

Steinbeck is majoring in apparel stud-ies and plans to live in Paris and work in the fashion industry and business He looks forward to being an expert in the French language and combining it with his dream job for apparel

In addition to these languages the uni-versity ofers courses in even more such as Italian Russian German Swahili and the classics which consists of Latin and Greek

It has never harmed anyone to be-come knowledgeable or even luent in a language Not to mention it is fun chal-lenging and always helpful and impres-sive when traveling to a country where you can speak some of the native peoplersquos tongue Its beneits for life and boosting of marketability to the professional ield are reasons enough to consider furthering an education in a foreign language

Ogden said she agreed that collegiate twirl-ing is all about pleasing the crowd

ldquoMy main goal is to be an entertainer on the eld I have the opportunity to do whatever I pleaserdquo she said ldquoIt is more like a freestyle compared to the competitive twirling stylerdquo

Both girls said their time performing for the UofA has been an incredible journey

ldquoe RMB is an amazing organizationrdquo Og-den said ldquoere is nothing better than spending game day with the Razorback Marching Band Performing pregame and haltime are absolute highlights of my years in college so farrdquo

Lambeth also said she enjoys the camara-derie that comes with being on a team of nine other twirlers

ldquoIrsquove met many wonderful friends and enjoy the atmosphere that all of the band members

bring to practices and game daysrdquo she said ldquohe RMB is full of members who are passion-ate and positive about what they do which is a great environment to be a part ofrdquo

Coaching is something Lambeth and Ogden both see in their futures

ldquoBaton twirling is a sport that has taught me so much about goal setting hard work determination and teamworkrdquo Lambeth said ldquohrough coaching I would be able to pass these skills down to younger twirlers and hope-fully help them receive college scholarships someday toordquo

Ogden who has been teaching since the age of 13 is currently working to achieve all her re-quirements to become a judge for the sport She said she looks to gain more students now that she is retired from competing

ldquoI hope to continue teaching until I canrsquot anymorerdquo she said ldquoI would also like to receive my judging license in the next few yearsrdquo

that that they kind of skim over his life and the events in his life that really explain much of the art and the directions he tookrdquo Sutherland said

Not only did 14 years of hard work pay of in the form of a com-pleted and well-praised work of writing Sutherlandrsquos work also be-came part of a PBS documentary ldquoJames McNeill Whistler amp he Case for Beautyrdquo he documentary aired nationally Sept 12 on PBS af-iliates and is available to buy

Sutherland said he was irst ap-proached to help with the docu-mentary in 2005 He was inish-ing his research on Whistler and beginning to write while visiting Cambridge when the producer of the ilm Karen homas contacted him

ldquoSomeone had told Karen about me and that I was one of the peo-ple she needed to talk tordquo Suther-land said ldquoShe asked me if I would be one of the consultants on the script which I agreed to dordquo

Sutherland helped show hom-as around the places Whistler had lived gave hours of interview time and proofed the script for accura-cy Nine years later they arrived at the inished product

ldquohese things take timerdquo Sutherland said ldquoWhen you get down to the end it has to be so precise I remember with the last drat she said lsquoWe have to cut ive seconds Where can we cut ive secondsrsquo It was a challenge in that respectrdquo

Anyone thinking about enter-ing the ield of history must be willing to dedicate years to school Sutherland said

ldquoItrsquos tough nowadaysrdquo Suther-land said ldquoMake sure that is what you want to do that you are will-ing to devote six or seven years to graduate school It takes as much time as it does to become a medical doctor and the inancial rewards are not as great

ldquoBut I am one of those who de-cided that that really was what I

wanted to do And if luck is with you and you stick to it you can re-alize that ambitionrdquo he said

Sutherlandrsquos background in-stilled in him the ambition to pur-sue history speciically the Civil War he said

Although he grew up in Detroit and attended northern schools he said his family originally came from southern farmlands Both sets of grandparents moved in the 1920s to work in the auto shops

ldquohey were always talking about the Civil War and from a south-ern perspectiverdquo Sutherland said ldquoHearing their stories and then attending northern schools and seeing a northern perspective on the war it was always kind of fas-cinated to merdquo

Again it took Sutherland time to realize his fascination could turn into more than an interest It was not until ater his time in the Navy and when he decided to go to graduate school that he decided to pursue history he said

ldquoI always had a boyhood inter-est in historyrdquo Sutherland said ldquoI came back ater my service and there were no jobs teaching so I just decided to go to grad school It was only then really at the age of about 24 that I decided this (being a historian) looked like a possible careerrdquo

Aside from the nine books he wrote Sutherland has edited or co-edited six other books Most of them were focused on the Civil War and 19th century American society He has received more than 40 honors awards and research grants for his work

Sutherland is working on a new book this time about Whistlerrsquos mother who is the subject of one of Whistlerrsquos most famous works

ldquoI have had so much fun writing about Whistlerrdquo Sutherland said ldquoMy new project I am working on is a biography about his mother the famous portrait I am reluctant to leave that world Itrsquos so much funrdquo

COMMENTARY

h e Razorbacksrsquo quick turn-around at er their season open-ing loss to Auburn has turned heads and caught the attention

of national mediaArkansasrsquo improvement is

evident to every person who has tuned in to a game this season If those same people have tuned in to a game featur-ing another SEC West school however they would realize the quick impressive start by Ar-kansas is just par for the course in the division

h e Southeastern Confer-encersquos Western division is sim-ply the best division in all of college football Itrsquos been this way for quite some time and itrsquos not even debatable h e SEC West is practically a Power 5 conference all on its own

What also is not debatable is that the division is at an all-

time high in regards to compet-itiveness from top to bottom

Six of seven schools in the Western division are ranked in the most recent Amway Coaches Poll which was re-leased Sunday Arkansas was the odd man out h e remain-ing six schools were all ranked in the top 18

Mississippi State found its way into the top 25 at er an impressive win in Baton Rouge in front of more than 102000 screaming Cajuns h e Bull-dogs jumped 11 spots to No 16 while LSU fell 10 spots to No 18

Alabama heads the division at No 2 followed by Auburn at No 5 Texas AampM at No 7

and Ole Miss at No 11 It isnrsquot as if Arkansasrsquo performances the past few weeks are going unnoticed however h e Ra-zorbacks considered a bottom feeder in the SEC again this preseason received 17 votes in the Coaches Poll

Teams in the division can-not af ord to take a week of h ere is no overlooking teams or guaranteed wins like in the other so-called ldquotop football conferencesrdquo

h e Big Ten has Illinois Minnesota and Purdue h e Big 12 has Iowa State Kansas and dare I say Texas who is of to a tragically slow start h e Atlantic Coast Conference has Wake Forest Boston College

and Syracuse and the Pac-12 has Washington State and Col-orado to beat up on each week

h e SEC has only Vander-bilt but the Commodores gave No 15 South Carolina all they wanted and more last Satur-day It took a 21-point fourth quarter for the Gamecocks to escape Nashville alive

Kentucky also not a push-over anymore and Arkansas have been the surprises of the SEC thus far Both programs are vastly improved over the teams they i elded a season ago Opponents can no longer deem the schools guaranteed wins

With the current state of the SEC and the Western di-

vision in particular Arkansasrsquo quick start is seen by many as just what they needed to do to keep up Alabama Auburn Texas AampM and the other divi-sion opponents wait for no one Teams have to either get busy winning or be the black sheep of the division

Herersquos a i nal stat to ponder the SEC West is the only divi-sion among Power 5 confer-ences ndash Pac 12 Big 12 Big Ten ACC and SEC ndash to not have a team at or below the 500 mark this season

Arkansasrsquo start to the season is impressive considering low expectations but these days in the SEC West itrsquos just par for the course

Scottie BordelonSports Editor

Arkansasrsquo Quick Start Par for Course in Tough SEC West

h e Razorbacks head to Arlington Texas on Satur-day to take on No 6 Texas AampM in the much anticipated Southwest Classic

h is is the i rst time the game will be played in ATampT Stadium since AampM joined the Southeastern Conference in 2012

h is matchup which dates back to 1903 has a rich ri-valry h e teams stopped their annual matchup in 1991 when Arkansas joined the SEC h e series was renewed in 2009 under the name Southwest Classic and the teams now return to a neutral site ndash the

home of the Dallas Cowboysh e Razorbacks lead the

all-time series record 41-26-3 though AampM has won the last three years h e Aggies (4-0 1-0 SEC) have won all of their games by at least 24 points scoring 163 points so far this season

Some worried about what would happen to the Aggie of ense this season at er los-ing Johnny Manziel Mike Evans and Jake Matthews to the NFL but those fears were quickly put away at er sopho-more quarterback Kenny Hillrsquos record breaking season opener against South Caro-lina

Virtually unstoppable Hill not only broke Manzielrsquos single game passing record

but his 1094 passing yards in the i rst three games also beat Manzielrsquos record of 984 set in 2013 Hill has completed 97 passes for 1359 yards and 13 touchdowns with one inter-ception so far While Hill is a force in the pocket he is also competent on his feet rushing for 106 yards this season

h e Aggiesrsquo passing game is extremely dangerous large-ly in part to the depth of the receiving corps Any receiver on the roster is likely to make a catch making the Aggies in-credibly dii cult to defend

Seven Aggie receivers have more than 100 yards receiving so far this season and nine have caught touchdowns Se-nior Malcome Kennedy has been targeted most this sea-

son putting up 334 yards and a touchdown Josh Reynolds however has made it into the end zone four times and racked up 247 yards receiving

Despite averaging 405 passing yards a game this season the Aggies are 40th nationally in rushing yards averaging 207 a game

Like their receivers the Aggies give playing time to a host of running backs Six dif erent backs have more than 100 yards rushing Trey Williams Brandon Williams James White and Tra Carson see the most carries averag-ing 64 yards per carry col-lectively Carson and Wil-liams lead the team in rushing touchdowns with four each

AampMrsquos dynamic and pow-

erful of ense which was in-credibly dii cult to slow down last year with Evans and John-ny Football looks to be just as hard if not harder to stop this year

On the other side of the ball AampM has allowed only one touchdown in the last three games and is averaging

nearly four sacks a game so far this season

While the Aggies rank sec-ond in the country in points scored with an average of 55 a game Arkansas is third with an average of nearly 49 h e outcome of the game should be determined by whose de-fense can get the most stops

At er a third straight win of more than 20 points it may be hard to i nd nega-tives h ere are certainly a lot of positives to take from the third week of the season but no game has been perfect and the cup-cake schedule is over for the Hogs h ree straight games against top-15 teams are up next With the meat of the schedule looming here is a look at both the good and bad from SaturdayBuy Brandon Allen Pass-ing

All season Bret Bielema has called the passing game ldquothe best kept secret in Fay-ettevillerdquo

h is week fans got a little glimpse of what they could do It wasnrsquot spectacu-lar but it was ei cient Al-lenrsquos 68 percent completion percentage was the highest of his career when throwing 10 or more passes

His 199 passing yards

might not jump of the stats page but both touchdowns were well-thrown balls and Bielema raved about the job Allen did of going through his progression

Seven dif erent Razor-backs caught a pass and that was without Demetrius Wilson who was sidelined with an ankle injurySell Brandon Allen Diving

As much as players love to see their quarterback go all out for the team for the love of God Allen quit div-ing into the end zone

Last seasonrsquos shoulder in-jury against Southern Miss was because of diving into the end zone His shoulder is the key to Arkansas mak-ing a bowl game this season meaning those risky dives arenrsquot something he should be doing

His mobility is a tool and a weapon though He had a key scramble on a third down to keep a drive alive but if Allen is going to run he needs to learn to slide

Razorback Hockey Club Looks to Continue Winning Tradition

son was in 2008 and coach Brian Gallini has headed the Ice Hogs since the 2009-2010 season Since Gallini has been

head coach Arkansasrsquo record is 138-38-2 winning at nearly 80 percent of their games

Last year the Razorback

hockey team went 31-8 in the regular season h ey con-tinued into the postseason and beat Alabama to win the SECHC championship

Much of this success can be attributed to the work eth-ic of the team Gallini said

ldquoOur winning tradition comes from a fundamental belief in the strength of our programrsquos culture ndash a culture that emphasizes the impor-tance of players placing the team before themselvesrdquo Gallini said ldquoSo long as each player buys into our culture and how we do things the scoreboard alongside our overall season record takes care of itselfrdquo

h e team made an appear-ance at nationals last season dropping their opening game

to Adrian College At er the loss Arkansas pummeled Neumann University 14-6 and thumped the University of Central Florida 6-2

h e leading scorer two of the past three seasons was Sundstedt In 2011 he led the team with 25 goals In 2012 he fell short of the teamrsquos top scorer by just three goals but accounted for 39 assists Last season he led the team with 27 goals

Ryan Machos has also been a signi cant player on the team He led the team in goals with 30 in 2012 and was just behind Sundstedt and Marcel Toure with 22 goals in 2013

h e loss of Sundstedt will leave a void in the team and someone will have to take

initiative to become the next scoring leader

ldquoMarty was a special player who contributed an extraordinary amount to the Razorback hockey programrdquo Gallini said ldquoOur team will miss his on-ice skill alongside his of -the-ice leadershiprdquo

However there are new weapons for the Hogs that will help ll his place

Gallini said he expects a lot from new recruits Landyn Howze Matt Robinson and Colin South h ese players are expected to contribute to the of ense immediately

Veterans Machos and For-est Mudgett are projected to continue their of ensive success Meanwhile Oliver Easton will remain a power-ful weapon on defense

ldquoh is yearrsquos team is excep-tionally deeprdquo Gallini said ldquoOn any given night we ex-pect dif erent players to ll the void Martyrsquos departure leavesrdquo

Arkansasrsquo hockey season began against Metro State with two games h e Hogs lost the rst game but won an overtime shootout to win the second game

Arkansas opened confer-ence play against Auburn on Sept 19 winning 29-0 Fol-lowing the loss Auburn elect-ed to forfeit the second game h e blowout score indicates the Hogs may again dominate the SECHC

Next weekend the Razor-backs will travel to Oklahoma to play the Sooners on Friday and Saturday

Replacing Zach Hocker was never going to be an easy task Hocker made long eld goals look ef ortless and may have spoiled Razorback fans

A missed eld goal didnrsquot hurt the Razorbacks against Northern Illinois but an Southeastern Conference game could possibly hinge on a 42-yard eld goal and John Henson needs to make them

In his career Henson is 5-for-7 kicking eld goals which is respectable but the longest of those is just 25 yards Both of his attempts from outside 30 yards were missed

College football has shown that solid eld goal kicking is a must and the Hogs need Henson to step up and knock down a big one later this sea-son

ldquoMaking the Travelerrsquos Journey Worthwhilerdquo

Will Purdy Sta PhotographerUA students Alec DeHaven and Tyler Casey put in last-minute training for the upcoming climbing competition 24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell At 10 am Friday team CaseyndashDeHaven will compete against 149 other two-man teams to see who can climb the greatest number of routes in 24 hours Casey and DeHavenrsquos goal is to reach 150 routes each

At least four students will compete in a rock climbing competition that has climbers from all over the country traveling to Jasper Arkansas to com-pete Sept 24-28

24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell will be at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch in Jasper and is more than a competi-tion ndash it includes camping food music and games Competitors must have a partner and teams have the option of choosing between participating in a 12 or 24 hour event Teams are placed into one of four categories recreational in-termediate advanced and elite Each climbing route is designated a certain number of points based on diiculty level and competitors earn points for

each route they climb he winner is who has earned the most points at the end 24 HHH strives to bring in a well-known professional climber each year Alex Honnold known for climbing large clifs with no rope to protect him if he falls will be at this yearrsquos 24 HHH competition

Senior Andrew Mayes has been rock climbing for six years his is his irst year to compete in 24 HHH

ldquoClimbing to me in general is about communityrdquo Mayes said

Mayes said rock climbing is a life-style to him and something he was inspired to do Being a professional climber is not the goal

Rock climbing by nature is a little scary and it is typical to fall he said

ldquoItrsquos inspiring to face your fears to be the best that you can berdquo he said

Seeing people have enough passion

to push their limits and work toward their goals is a way to get people to do what they love Mayes said

Something that started out as a hobby became more serious recently when Mayes took a trip to Las Vegas to climb at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area here he did tra-ditional climbing which difers from sport climbing in that climbers must place their own gear to protect against falls In sport climbing there are pro-tection and anchor points permanently installed prior to the climb

ldquoherersquos a lot more to it You almost have to take a step backrdquo Mayes said

Traditional climbing made him see the sport in a new light and traditional climbing felt more authentic and genu-ine he said

ldquoTo me it was like going deeper and deeper into a cave With every step

you take you continue to conquer that fearrdquo Mayes said

Mayesrsquo partner for the competition is junior Courtney Blake

ldquoTogether we had the desire to go out and do a bunch of diferent thingsrdquo Mayes said ldquoWe feed of each otherrdquo

Blake works in the Outdoor Con-nections Center assisting rock climbers at the HPERrsquos rock wall She has also led rock climbing trips She said that she and Mayes motivate each other

For Blake rock climbing is still all about having fun She was irst intro-duced to it her freshman year when she lived in Pomfret and her friends con-tinuously invited her to go climbing with them at the HPER

ldquohe environment is so welcoming which is why I think I kept going back freshman yearrdquo Blake said

Mayes said the competition is re-

ally about endurance and that it can be hard to distinguish diiculty levels Some routes can be harder or easier depending on the climberrsquos height or lexibility for example He and Blake are placed in the intermediate division

his is senior Tyler Caseyrsquos third year to compete in 24 HHH His part-ner for the competition is junior Alec DeHaven

ldquoOnce you get into it you donrsquot real-ly want to get outrdquo Casey said ldquoherersquos a whole culture to itrdquo

He became serious about climbing his sophomore year and said he has met some of his best college friends through going camping and climbing together Itrsquos an accepting crowd he said It began as something he wanted to push himself to be better at and evolved into what consumes most of his free time

Competitive Climbers Find Culture and Fun

Alex GoldenStaf Writer

Studying abroad is the quintessen-tial college experience that impacts students in numerous ways Coming from those who have already been involved there is no shortage of en-couragement for their peers to enjoy the opportunity as well

he possibilities seem almost endless for UA students About 800 students studied abroad last year according to Laura Smith gradu-ate assistant for programming who helped organize an honors study abroad event Tuesday Sept 16

ldquoImmersing yourself in another culture has many beneits both aca-demically and socially Being around other languages food belief systems and cultural outlooks adds fresh perspective and unique experience to any majorminorhellip Exposure to people who are diferent from you is what higher education is all aboutrdquo Smith said

Students can travel to any desti-nation as long as that city doesnrsquot have a travel warning Last year study abroad trips were made to 48 diferent countries in six diferent continents according to Chelsea Hodge assistant director of recruit-ment and speaker at the honors study abroad event Trips are avail-able for speciic majors with partner organizations and exchange pro-grams where international univer-sities swap students with the UofA

Studying abroad helps many stu-dents gain higher level credits and real-world experience in their cho-sen ield For many students seeing their chosen major in a diferent cul-ture is eye-opening

Ryan Wendt a pre-med major studied with the popular Health Teams Abroad program in Sweden to gain six credit hours in his upper level classes Seeing the health care system in Europe was important and the program allowed him to spend half his time visiting diferent hospitals and clinics overseas

For Abby Terlouw studying in Belize for three weeks provided an experience she couldnrsquot gain in the classroom Ater taking classes and learning the facts about her engineering major she inally got the chance to go out and apply her knowledge making the experience unquestioningly valuable for her career

Studying abroad does not have to be all business though Students can also study abroad to earn credits in basic core requirements as well as electives

Jill Tyler an anthropology pre-med major attended the well-estab-lished UofA Center in Rome his destination includes a UofA campus that has been ofering classes since 1989 according to the study abroad website Tyler earned her honors art history and Italian credits while in Rome and said she considers loca-tion of the studies a key piece in the study abroad puzzle

ldquoI had the rest of my college ex-perience to get grades and prepare for the MCAT I wanted summer to be for merdquo Tyler said

She advocated strongly for stu-dents to seek out a country that they can spend time exploring geograph-ically and culturally and in the meantime fall in love with During her stay Tyler traveled through nine

diferent countries in two weeks en-joying herself as well as taking care of required courses

he length of a study abroad trip can vary from two weeks to an entire summer or semester While abroad students stay in hotels dorms or in the homes of a local family in their destination country depending on the program Some of the most popular destinations for students last year were Italy England Spain and Belize

Of course funding is an im-portant consideration for study-ing abroad Knowing the price tag ahead of time allows students to ind scholarships and grants to help them along their way

ldquoStudy abroad trips can range pretty broadly in terms of price de-pending on where you go and how

long you stay Summer programs can cost around $5000 while a se-mester at Oxford could cost close to $30000rdquo Hodge said

here are numerous funding op-portunities for UA students Hodge said Federal inancial aid in the form of Pell Grants or loans are available as well as departmental scholarships Many colleges ofer speciic study abroad funding to their students such as the College of Engineering or Walton Honors students can also apply for special funding like the Sturgis Grant Help is available for students via an advi-sor an appointment with the study abroad oice or the study abroad website

While the application process might seem daunting Hodge also shared several tips She advised

looking for several funding oppor-tunities not just one

Students need to provide tran-scripts letters of recommendation and sometimes essays for certain grants or scholarships If an essay is required speciic relatable details about oneself are the most desirable and successful ingredients for suc-cess

ldquoEmployers graduate schools medical schools etc deinitely look for international experiences on stu-dentsrsquo resumes It indicates an open-ness a desire to connect with the world and with people from a difer-ent culture Itrsquos also just an incred-ible amount of fun When you study abroad you are forced out of your comfort zone and what you can ind there can change your liferdquo Hodge said

Adams Pryor Sta PhotographerAfter years of writing Daniel Sutherland rests his arm on top of a published copy of his book Whistler A Life for Artrsquos Sake His book was released in March and focuses on the life and work of the American-born painter James McNeill Whistler

At 12 years old on a school ield trip to the Detroit Institute of Art a boy stood mesmerized by an impressionistic paint-ing of ireworks ldquohe Falling Rocketsrdquo but it would be decades before he satis-ied his boyhood fascination and wrote a biography about the artist behind the American masterpiece James McNeill Whistler

Daniel Sutherland a distinguished professor of history at the UofA began his research on Whistler in 1999 ater a making a career of writing and teaching about the Civil War

Whistler was born in Massachusetts

in 1834 but moved to Paris early in his adult life to begin his career as an artist in Europe He produced 2700 paintings drawings etchings and lithographs

ldquoI was just looking for a new projectrdquo Sutherland said ldquoI wrote mostly about the Civil War and I was honestly tired of writing about the Civil War I always wanted to write a biography and I decid-ed to try my hand at Whistlerrdquo

he research and writing took him 14 years to complete but Sutherland said ldquoWhistler A Life for Artrsquos Sakerdquo became his favorite out of the nine he has writ-ten

ldquoIt is so diferent from what I have been doingrdquo Sutherland said ldquoWhistler is such a character He sees and thinks about the world in ways that are just new

to me At his time he was really stretch-ing the bounds of what he considered proper art and understandable art He was an impressionist before impression-ism came aboutrdquo

Critics gave Sutherlandrsquos biography high praise and many commented on how well he interwove Whistlerrsquos life and art by using letters he wrote his was the irst biography written about Whistler in 20 years and the irst to give equal atten-tion to his life events as it did to his art and technique

ldquoMost of the other biographies about Whistler were written by art histori-ans who are so focused on the art and explaining technique and things like

Childhood Dreams Fall Into Place for Distinguished History ProfessorAshton EleyStaf Writer

With all of the advances in technology and the widespread knowledge of English worldwide many English speakers oten ind it diicult knowing what beneits there are in learning a foreign language Studies suggest that within 10 years many universities will discontinue language courses due to their inefectiveness in the professional ield

Learning another language has long term beneits Students at the UofA study-ing a variety of languages have plenty to advise on this issue

Andrew Billingsley junior is studying international relations and Middle East-ern studies with a minor in Arabic

ldquohe Middle East is where the world has deemed important in the current times I got into Arabic for potential gov-ernment and military jobsrdquo Billingsley said ldquoMy hope is to obtain a government position in counter-terrorism and intel-ligence Arabic is absolutely necessary for this due to our nationrsquos interest in that re-gionrdquo

Another student senior Macyn Hunn is in the same Arabic class Intensive Ara-bic III as Billingsley

ldquoI started taking Arabic because my best friend was taking itrdquo Hunn said ldquoAf-ter a while I found that I enjoyed it It has steered the career path I am wanting to go into I might work for a company that is employed by the military or government he way I see it if you know Arabic yoursquore pretty much guaranteed a jobrdquo

Another up-and-coming language is Mandarin Taylor Weiss freshman has had previous experience from high school with Chinese and said she plans on mi-noring in it for her international business major here were many languages to choose from but she chose Chinese

ldquoI originally chose to learn Chinese because I was interested in joining the Navy However once my interest changed towards business I realized how perfect Chinese would be for thatrdquo she said ldquoA large majority of our countryrsquos trade and business is done with China making it highly strategic to become an expert in their language Not to mention that I love the culture Learning it is deinitely chal-lenging but Irsquom enjoying every minute of itrdquo

Alex Webb is a sophomore health nu-trition and hospital major with a minor

in Japanese As a kid he loved watching cartoons like ldquoDragon Ball Zrdquo in Japanese subtitles His interest for that grew into passion and he watched more and more advanced shows

ldquoLast summer I went to study abroad in Japan It was an incredible experience As for my future I am in the military so knowing Japanese will help beneit my marketability and also ofer more beneits now and for future jobsrdquo he said

Webb plans to continue to learn the Japanese language and pursue their cul-ture

he two most commonly studied and known foreign languages in the United States are Spanish and French Students oten wonder how they could beneit from knowing one of these more common lan-guages

Junior Darcie Nixon is a Spanish ma-jor She said her long-term goal in using this degree is to be able to relate better to Spanish-speakers and do mission work overseas

ldquoMy dream job is to be an interpreter for a missionrsquos base or an English teacher for a Spanish-speaking schoolrdquo she said

When asked why she chose Spanish when so many other people know it she said ldquoKnowing Spanish is a good skillset

to have As for it being too common and a waste of time I think itrsquos arrogant to think that learning a new skillset will hinder you Itrsquos better to be a master of something rather than staying stagnantrdquo

Drew Steinbeck a senior and French minor said ldquoPeople donrsquot really realize it but French is one of the biggest business languages in the world right up there with Chineserdquo

Steinbeck is majoring in apparel stud-ies and plans to live in Paris and work in the fashion industry and business He looks forward to being an expert in the French language and combining it with his dream job for apparel

In addition to these languages the uni-versity ofers courses in even more such as Italian Russian German Swahili and the classics which consists of Latin and Greek

Ogden said she agreed that collegiate twirl-ing is all about pleasing the crowd

ldquoMy main goal is to be an entertainer on the eld I have the opportunity to do whatever I pleaserdquo she said ldquoIt is more like a freestyle compared to the competitive twirling stylerdquo

Both girls said their time performing for the UofA has been an incredible journey

ldquoe RMB is an amazing organizationrdquo Og-den said ldquoere is nothing better than spending game day with the Razorback Marching Band Performing pregame and haltime are absolute highlights of my years in college so farrdquo

Lambeth also said she enjoys the camara-derie that comes with being on a team of nine other twirlers

ldquoIrsquove met many wonderful friends and enjoy the atmosphere that all of the band members

bring to practices and game daysrdquo she said ldquohe RMB is full of members who are passion-ate and positive about what they do which is a great environment to be a part ofrdquo

Coaching is something Lambeth and Ogden both see in their futures

ldquoBaton twirling is a sport that has taught me so much about goal setting hard work determination and teamworkrdquo Lambeth said ldquohrough coaching I would be able to pass these skills down to younger twirlers and hope-fully help them receive college scholarships someday toordquo

Ogden who has been teaching since the age of 13 is currently working to achieve all her re-quirements to become a judge for the sport She said she looks to gain more students now that she is retired from competing

ldquoI hope to continue teaching until I canrsquot anymorerdquo she said ldquoI would also like to receive my judging license in the next few yearsrdquo

that that they kind of skim over his life and the events in his life that really explain much of the art and the directions he tookrdquo Sutherland said

Not only did 14 years of hard work pay of in the form of a com-pleted and well-praised work of writing Sutherlandrsquos work also be-came part of a PBS documentary ldquoJames McNeill Whistler amp he Case for Beautyrdquo he documentary aired nationally Sept 12 on PBS af-iliates and is available to buy

Sutherland said he was irst ap-proached to help with the docu-mentary in 2005 He was inish-ing his research on Whistler and beginning to write while visiting Cambridge when the producer of the ilm Karen homas contacted him

ldquoSomeone had told Karen about me and that I was one of the peo-ple she needed to talk tordquo Suther-land said ldquoShe asked me if I would be one of the consultants on the script which I agreed to dordquo

Sutherland helped show hom-as around the places Whistler had lived gave hours of interview time and proofed the script for accura-cy Nine years later they arrived at the inished product

ldquohese things take timerdquo Sutherland said ldquoWhen you get down to the end it has to be so precise I remember with the last drat she said lsquoWe have to cut ive seconds Where can we cut ive secondsrsquo It was a challenge in that respectrdquo

Anyone thinking about enter-ing the ield of history must be willing to dedicate years to school Sutherland said

ldquoItrsquos tough nowadaysrdquo Suther-land said ldquoMake sure that is what you want to do that you are will-ing to devote six or seven years to graduate school It takes as much time as it does to become a medical doctor and the inancial rewards are not as great

ldquoBut I am one of those who de-cided that that really was what I

wanted to do And if luck is with you and you stick to it you can re-alize that ambitionrdquo he said

Sutherlandrsquos background in-stilled in him the ambition to pur-sue history speciically the Civil War he said

Although he grew up in Detroit and attended northern schools he said his family originally came from southern farmlands Both sets of grandparents moved in the 1920s to work in the auto shops

ldquohey were always talking about the Civil War and from a south-ern perspectiverdquo Sutherland said ldquoHearing their stories and then attending northern schools and seeing a northern perspective on the war it was always kind of fas-cinated to merdquo

Again it took Sutherland time to realize his fascination could turn into more than an interest It was not until ater his time in the Navy and when he decided to go to graduate school that he decided to pursue history he said

ldquoI always had a boyhood inter-est in historyrdquo Sutherland said ldquoI came back ater my service and there were no jobs teaching so I just decided to go to grad school It was only then really at the age of about 24 that I decided this (being a historian) looked like a possible careerrdquo

Aside from the nine books he wrote Sutherland has edited or co-edited six other books Most of them were focused on the Civil War and 19th century American society He has received more than 40 honors awards and research grants for his work

Sutherland is working on a new book this time about Whistlerrsquos mother who is the subject of one of Whistlerrsquos most famous works

ldquoI have had so much fun writing about Whistlerrdquo Sutherland said ldquoMy new project I am working on is a biography about his mother the famous portrait I am reluctant to leave that world Itrsquos so much funrdquo

COMMENTARY

h e Razorbacksrsquo quick turn-around at er their season open-ing loss to Auburn has turned heads and caught the attention

of national mediaArkansasrsquo improvement is

evident to every person who has tuned in to a game this season If those same people have tuned in to a game featur-ing another SEC West school however they would realize the quick impressive start by Ar-kansas is just par for the course in the division

h e Southeastern Confer-encersquos Western division is sim-ply the best division in all of college football Itrsquos been this way for quite some time and itrsquos not even debatable h e SEC West is practically a Power 5 conference all on its own

What also is not debatable is that the division is at an all-

time high in regards to compet-itiveness from top to bottom

Six of seven schools in the Western division are ranked in the most recent Amway Coaches Poll which was re-leased Sunday Arkansas was the odd man out h e remain-ing six schools were all ranked in the top 18

Mississippi State found its way into the top 25 at er an impressive win in Baton Rouge in front of more than 102000 screaming Cajuns h e Bull-dogs jumped 11 spots to No 16 while LSU fell 10 spots to No 18

Alabama heads the division at No 2 followed by Auburn at No 5 Texas AampM at No 7

and Ole Miss at No 11 It isnrsquot as if Arkansasrsquo performances the past few weeks are going unnoticed however h e Ra-zorbacks considered a bottom feeder in the SEC again this preseason received 17 votes in the Coaches Poll

Teams in the division can-not af ord to take a week of h ere is no overlooking teams or guaranteed wins like in the other so-called ldquotop football conferencesrdquo

h e Big Ten has Illinois Minnesota and Purdue h e Big 12 has Iowa State Kansas and dare I say Texas who is of to a tragically slow start h e Atlantic Coast Conference has Wake Forest Boston College

and Syracuse and the Pac-12 has Washington State and Col-orado to beat up on each week

h e SEC has only Vander-bilt but the Commodores gave No 15 South Carolina all they wanted and more last Satur-day It took a 21-point fourth quarter for the Gamecocks to escape Nashville alive

Kentucky also not a push-over anymore and Arkansas have been the surprises of the SEC thus far Both programs are vastly improved over the teams they i elded a season ago Opponents can no longer deem the schools guaranteed wins

With the current state of the SEC and the Western di-

vision in particular Arkansasrsquo quick start is seen by many as just what they needed to do to keep up Alabama Auburn Texas AampM and the other divi-sion opponents wait for no one Teams have to either get busy winning or be the black sheep of the division

Herersquos a i nal stat to ponder the SEC West is the only divi-sion among Power 5 confer-ences ndash Pac 12 Big 12 Big Ten ACC and SEC ndash to not have a team at or below the 500 mark this season

Arkansasrsquo start to the season is impressive considering low expectations but these days in the SEC West itrsquos just par for the course

Scottie BordelonSports Editor

Arkansasrsquo Quick Start Par for Course in Tough SEC West

h e Razorbacks head to Arlington Texas on Satur-day to take on No 6 Texas AampM in the much anticipated Southwest Classic

h is is the i rst time the game will be played in ATampT Stadium since AampM joined the Southeastern Conference in 2012

h is matchup which dates back to 1903 has a rich ri-valry h e teams stopped their annual matchup in 1991 when Arkansas joined the SEC h e series was renewed in 2009 under the name Southwest Classic and the teams now return to a neutral site ndash the

home of the Dallas Cowboysh e Razorbacks lead the

all-time series record 41-26-3 though AampM has won the last three years h e Aggies (4-0 1-0 SEC) have won all of their games by at least 24 points scoring 163 points so far this season

Some worried about what would happen to the Aggie of ense this season at er los-ing Johnny Manziel Mike Evans and Jake Matthews to the NFL but those fears were quickly put away at er sopho-more quarterback Kenny Hillrsquos record breaking season opener against South Caro-lina

Virtually unstoppable Hill not only broke Manzielrsquos single game passing record

but his 1094 passing yards in the i rst three games also beat Manzielrsquos record of 984 set in 2013 Hill has completed 97 passes for 1359 yards and 13 touchdowns with one inter-ception so far While Hill is a force in the pocket he is also competent on his feet rushing for 106 yards this season

h e Aggiesrsquo passing game is extremely dangerous large-ly in part to the depth of the receiving corps Any receiver on the roster is likely to make a catch making the Aggies in-credibly dii cult to defend

Seven Aggie receivers have more than 100 yards receiving so far this season and nine have caught touchdowns Se-nior Malcome Kennedy has been targeted most this sea-

son putting up 334 yards and a touchdown Josh Reynolds however has made it into the end zone four times and racked up 247 yards receiving

Despite averaging 405 passing yards a game this season the Aggies are 40th nationally in rushing yards averaging 207 a game

Like their receivers the Aggies give playing time to a host of running backs Six dif erent backs have more than 100 yards rushing Trey Williams Brandon Williams James White and Tra Carson see the most carries averag-ing 64 yards per carry col-lectively Carson and Wil-liams lead the team in rushing touchdowns with four each

AampMrsquos dynamic and pow-

erful of ense which was in-credibly dii cult to slow down last year with Evans and John-ny Football looks to be just as hard if not harder to stop this year

On the other side of the ball AampM has allowed only one touchdown in the last three games and is averaging

nearly four sacks a game so far this season

While the Aggies rank sec-ond in the country in points scored with an average of 55 a game Arkansas is third with an average of nearly 49 h e outcome of the game should be determined by whose de-fense can get the most stops

At er a third straight win of more than 20 points it may be hard to i nd nega-tives h ere are certainly a lot of positives to take from the third week of the season but no game has been perfect and the cup-cake schedule is over for the Hogs h ree straight games against top-15 teams are up next With the meat of the schedule looming here is a look at both the good and bad from SaturdayBuy Brandon Allen Pass-ing

All season Bret Bielema has called the passing game ldquothe best kept secret in Fay-ettevillerdquo

h is week fans got a little glimpse of what they could do It wasnrsquot spectacu-lar but it was ei cient Al-lenrsquos 68 percent completion percentage was the highest of his career when throwing 10 or more passes

His 199 passing yards

might not jump of the stats page but both touchdowns were well-thrown balls and Bielema raved about the job Allen did of going through his progression

Seven dif erent Razor-backs caught a pass and that was without Demetrius Wilson who was sidelined with an ankle injurySell Brandon Allen Diving

As much as players love to see their quarterback go all out for the team for the love of God Allen quit div-ing into the end zone

Last seasonrsquos shoulder in-jury against Southern Miss was because of diving into the end zone His shoulder is the key to Arkansas mak-ing a bowl game this season meaning those risky dives arenrsquot something he should be doing

His mobility is a tool and a weapon though He had a key scramble on a third down to keep a drive alive but if Allen is going to run he needs to learn to slide

Razorback Hockey Club Looks to Continue Winning Tradition

son was in 2008 and coach Brian Gallini has headed the Ice Hogs since the 2009-2010 season Since Gallini has been

head coach Arkansasrsquo record is 138-38-2 winning at nearly 80 percent of their games

Last year the Razorback

hockey team went 31-8 in the regular season h ey con-tinued into the postseason and beat Alabama to win the SECHC championship

Much of this success can be attributed to the work eth-ic of the team Gallini said

ldquoOur winning tradition comes from a fundamental belief in the strength of our programrsquos culture ndash a culture that emphasizes the impor-tance of players placing the team before themselvesrdquo Gallini said ldquoSo long as each player buys into our culture and how we do things the scoreboard alongside our overall season record takes care of itselfrdquo

h e team made an appear-ance at nationals last season dropping their opening game

to Adrian College At er the loss Arkansas pummeled Neumann University 14-6 and thumped the University of Central Florida 6-2

h e leading scorer two of the past three seasons was Sundstedt In 2011 he led the team with 25 goals In 2012 he fell short of the teamrsquos top scorer by just three goals but accounted for 39 assists Last season he led the team with 27 goals

Ryan Machos has also been a signi cant player on the team He led the team in goals with 30 in 2012 and was just behind Sundstedt and Marcel Toure with 22 goals in 2013

h e loss of Sundstedt will leave a void in the team and someone will have to take

initiative to become the next scoring leader

ldquoMarty was a special player who contributed an extraordinary amount to the Razorback hockey programrdquo Gallini said ldquoOur team will miss his on-ice skill alongside his of -the-ice leadershiprdquo

However there are new weapons for the Hogs that will help ll his place

Gallini said he expects a lot from new recruits Landyn Howze Matt Robinson and Colin South h ese players are expected to contribute to the of ense immediately

Veterans Machos and For-est Mudgett are projected to continue their of ensive success Meanwhile Oliver Easton will remain a power-ful weapon on defense

ldquoh is yearrsquos team is excep-tionally deeprdquo Gallini said ldquoOn any given night we ex-pect dif erent players to ll the void Martyrsquos departure leavesrdquo

Arkansasrsquo hockey season began against Metro State with two games h e Hogs lost the rst game but won an overtime shootout to win the second game

Arkansas opened confer-ence play against Auburn on Sept 19 winning 29-0 Fol-lowing the loss Auburn elect-ed to forfeit the second game h e blowout score indicates the Hogs may again dominate the SECHC

Next weekend the Razor-backs will travel to Oklahoma to play the Sooners on Friday and Saturday

Whether itrsquos ldquoBody by Herbrdquo new defensive coor-dinator Robb Smith or just more experience on the de-fensive side of the ball this Arkansas team likes to hit and hit hard

h e ability to make big hits can change momentum and the Razorbacks have done that all season Some of the best hits of the season came from Saturdayrsquos game

Replacing Zach Hocker was never going to be an easy task Hocker made long eld goals look ef ortless and may have spoiled Razorback fans

A missed eld goal didnrsquot hurt the Razorbacks against Northern Illinois but an Southeastern Conference game could possibly hinge on a 42-yard eld goal and John Henson needs to make them

In his career Henson is 5-for-7 kicking eld goals which is respectable but the longest of those is just 25 yards Both of his attempts from outside 30 yards were missed

College football has shown that solid eld goal kicking is a must and the Hogs need Henson to step up and knock down a big one later this sea-son

Adams Pryor Sta PhotographerAfter years of writing Daniel Sutherland rests his arm on top of a published copy of his book Whistler A Life for Artrsquos Sake His book was released in March and focuses on the life and work of the American-born painter James McNeill Whistler

At 12 years old on a school ield trip to the Detroit Institute of Art a boy stood mesmerized by an impressionistic paint-ing of ireworks ldquohe Falling Rocketsrdquo but it would be decades before he satis-ied his boyhood fascination and wrote a biography about the artist behind the American masterpiece James McNeill Whistler

Daniel Sutherland a distinguished professor of history at the UofA began his research on Whistler in 1999 ater a making a career of writing and teaching about the Civil War

Whistler was born in Massachusetts

in 1834 but moved to Paris early in his adult life to begin his career as an artist in Europe He produced 2700 paintings drawings etchings and lithographs

ldquoI was just looking for a new projectrdquo Sutherland said ldquoI wrote mostly about the Civil War and I was honestly tired of writing about the Civil War I always wanted to write a biography and I decid-ed to try my hand at Whistlerrdquo

he research and writing took him 14 years to complete but Sutherland said ldquoWhistler A Life for Artrsquos Sakerdquo became his favorite out of the nine he has writ-ten

ldquoIt is so diferent from what I have been doingrdquo Sutherland said ldquoWhistler is such a character He sees and thinks about the world in ways that are just new

to me At his time he was really stretch-ing the bounds of what he considered proper art and understandable art He was an impressionist before impression-ism came aboutrdquo

Critics gave Sutherlandrsquos biography high praise and many commented on how well he interwove Whistlerrsquos life and art by using letters he wrote his was the irst biography written about Whistler in 20 years and the irst to give equal atten-tion to his life events as it did to his art and technique

ldquoMost of the other biographies about Whistler were written by art histori-ans who are so focused on the art and explaining technique and things like

Childhood Dreams Fall Into Place for Distinguished History ProfessorAshton EleyStaf Writer

With all of the advances in technology and the widespread knowledge of English worldwide many English speakers oten ind it diicult knowing what beneits there are in learning a foreign language Studies suggest that within 10 years many universities will discontinue language courses due to their inefectiveness in the professional ield

Learning another language has long term beneits Students at the UofA study-ing a variety of languages have plenty to advise on this issue

Andrew Billingsley junior is studying international relations and Middle East-ern studies with a minor in Arabic

ldquohe Middle East is where the world has deemed important in the current times I got into Arabic for potential gov-ernment and military jobsrdquo Billingsley said ldquoMy hope is to obtain a government position in counter-terrorism and intel-ligence Arabic is absolutely necessary for this due to our nationrsquos interest in that re-gionrdquo

Another student senior Macyn Hunn is in the same Arabic class Intensive Ara-bic III as Billingsley

ldquoI started taking Arabic because my best friend was taking itrdquo Hunn said ldquoAf-ter a while I found that I enjoyed it It has steered the career path I am wanting to go into I might work for a company that is employed by the military or government he way I see it if you know Arabic yoursquore pretty much guaranteed a jobrdquo

Another up-and-coming language is Mandarin Taylor Weiss freshman has had previous experience from high school with Chinese and said she plans on mi-noring in it for her international business major here were many languages to choose from but she chose Chinese

ldquoI originally chose to learn Chinese because I was interested in joining the Navy However once my interest changed towards business I realized how perfect Chinese would be for thatrdquo she said ldquoA large majority of our countryrsquos trade and business is done with China making it highly strategic to become an expert in their language Not to mention that I love the culture Learning it is deinitely chal-lenging but Irsquom enjoying every minute of itrdquo

Alex Webb is a sophomore health nu-trition and hospital major with a minor

in Japanese As a kid he loved watching cartoons like ldquoDragon Ball Zrdquo in Japanese subtitles His interest for that grew into passion and he watched more and more advanced shows

ldquoLast summer I went to study abroad in Japan It was an incredible experience As for my future I am in the military so knowing Japanese will help beneit my marketability and also ofer more beneits now and for future jobsrdquo he said

Webb plans to continue to learn the Japanese language and pursue their cul-ture

he two most commonly studied and known foreign languages in the United States are Spanish and French Students oten wonder how they could beneit from knowing one of these more common lan-guages

Junior Darcie Nixon is a Spanish ma-jor She said her long-term goal in using this degree is to be able to relate better to Spanish-speakers and do mission work overseas

ldquoMy dream job is to be an interpreter for a missionrsquos base or an English teacher for a Spanish-speaking schoolrdquo she said

When asked why she chose Spanish when so many other people know it she said ldquoKnowing Spanish is a good skillset

to have As for it being too common and a waste of time I think itrsquos arrogant to think that learning a new skillset will hinder you Itrsquos better to be a master of something rather than staying stagnantrdquo

Drew Steinbeck a senior and French minor said ldquoPeople donrsquot really realize it but French is one of the biggest business languages in the world right up there with Chineserdquo

Steinbeck is majoring in apparel stud-ies and plans to live in Paris and work in the fashion industry and business He looks forward to being an expert in the French language and combining it with his dream job for apparel

In addition to these languages the uni-versity ofers courses in even more such as Italian Russian German Swahili and the classics which consists of Latin and Greek

It has never harmed anyone to be-come knowledgeable or even luent in a language Not to mention it is fun chal-lenging and always helpful and impres-sive when traveling to a country where you can speak some of the native peoplersquos tongue Its beneits for life and boosting of marketability to the professional ield are reasons enough to consider furthering an education in a foreign language

Ogden said she agreed that collegiate twirl-ing is all about pleasing the crowd

ldquoMy main goal is to be an entertainer on the eld I have the opportunity to do whatever I pleaserdquo she said ldquoIt is more like a freestyle compared to the competitive twirling stylerdquo

Both girls said their time performing for the UofA has been an incredible journey

ldquoe RMB is an amazing organizationrdquo Og-den said ldquoere is nothing better than spending game day with the Razorback Marching Band Performing pregame and haltime are absolute highlights of my years in college so farrdquo

Lambeth also said she enjoys the camara-derie that comes with being on a team of nine other twirlers

ldquoIrsquove met many wonderful friends and enjoy the atmosphere that all of the band members

bring to practices and game daysrdquo she said ldquohe RMB is full of members who are passion-ate and positive about what they do which is a great environment to be a part ofrdquo

Coaching is something Lambeth and Ogden both see in their futures

ldquoBaton twirling is a sport that has taught me so much about goal setting hard work determination and teamworkrdquo Lambeth said ldquohrough coaching I would be able to pass these skills down to younger twirlers and hope-fully help them receive college scholarships someday toordquo

Ogden who has been teaching since the age of 13 is currently working to achieve all her re-quirements to become a judge for the sport She said she looks to gain more students now that she is retired from competing

ldquoI hope to continue teaching until I canrsquot anymorerdquo she said ldquoI would also like to receive my judging license in the next few yearsrdquo

that that they kind of skim over his life and the events in his life that really explain much of the art and the directions he tookrdquo Sutherland said

Not only did 14 years of hard work pay of in the form of a com-pleted and well-praised work of writing Sutherlandrsquos work also be-came part of a PBS documentary ldquoJames McNeill Whistler amp he Case for Beautyrdquo he documentary aired nationally Sept 12 on PBS af-iliates and is available to buy

Sutherland said he was irst ap-proached to help with the docu-mentary in 2005 He was inish-ing his research on Whistler and beginning to write while visiting Cambridge when the producer of the ilm Karen homas contacted him

ldquoSomeone had told Karen about me and that I was one of the peo-ple she needed to talk tordquo Suther-land said ldquoShe asked me if I would be one of the consultants on the script which I agreed to dordquo

Sutherland helped show hom-as around the places Whistler had lived gave hours of interview time and proofed the script for accura-cy Nine years later they arrived at the inished product

ldquohese things take timerdquo Sutherland said ldquoWhen you get down to the end it has to be so precise I remember with the last drat she said lsquoWe have to cut ive seconds Where can we cut ive secondsrsquo It was a challenge in that respectrdquo

Anyone thinking about enter-ing the ield of history must be willing to dedicate years to school Sutherland said

ldquoItrsquos tough nowadaysrdquo Suther-land said ldquoMake sure that is what you want to do that you are will-ing to devote six or seven years to graduate school It takes as much time as it does to become a medical doctor and the inancial rewards are not as great

ldquoBut I am one of those who de-cided that that really was what I

wanted to do And if luck is with you and you stick to it you can re-alize that ambitionrdquo he said

Sutherlandrsquos background in-stilled in him the ambition to pur-sue history speciically the Civil War he said

Although he grew up in Detroit and attended northern schools he said his family originally came from southern farmlands Both sets of grandparents moved in the 1920s to work in the auto shops

ldquohey were always talking about the Civil War and from a south-ern perspectiverdquo Sutherland said ldquoHearing their stories and then attending northern schools and seeing a northern perspective on the war it was always kind of fas-cinated to merdquo

Again it took Sutherland time to realize his fascination could turn into more than an interest It was not until ater his time in the Navy and when he decided to go to graduate school that he decided to pursue history he said

ldquoI always had a boyhood inter-est in historyrdquo Sutherland said ldquoI came back ater my service and there were no jobs teaching so I just decided to go to grad school It was only then really at the age of about 24 that I decided this (being a historian) looked like a possible careerrdquo

Aside from the nine books he wrote Sutherland has edited or co-edited six other books Most of them were focused on the Civil War and 19th century American society He has received more than 40 honors awards and research grants for his work

Sutherland is working on a new book this time about Whistlerrsquos mother who is the subject of one of Whistlerrsquos most famous works

ldquoI have had so much fun writing about Whistlerrdquo Sutherland said ldquoMy new project I am working on is a biography about his mother the famous portrait I am reluctant to leave that world Itrsquos so much funrdquo

COMMENTARY

h e Razorbacksrsquo quick turn-around at er their season open-ing loss to Auburn has turned heads and caught the attention

of national mediaArkansasrsquo improvement is

evident to every person who has tuned in to a game this season If those same people have tuned in to a game featur-ing another SEC West school however they would realize the quick impressive start by Ar-kansas is just par for the course in the division

h e Southeastern Confer-encersquos Western division is sim-ply the best division in all of college football Itrsquos been this way for quite some time and itrsquos not even debatable h e SEC West is practically a Power 5 conference all on its own

What also is not debatable is that the division is at an all-

time high in regards to compet-itiveness from top to bottom

Six of seven schools in the Western division are ranked in the most recent Amway Coaches Poll which was re-leased Sunday Arkansas was the odd man out h e remain-ing six schools were all ranked in the top 18

Mississippi State found its way into the top 25 at er an impressive win in Baton Rouge in front of more than 102000 screaming Cajuns h e Bull-dogs jumped 11 spots to No 16 while LSU fell 10 spots to No 18

Alabama heads the division at No 2 followed by Auburn at No 5 Texas AampM at No 7

and Ole Miss at No 11 It isnrsquot as if Arkansasrsquo performances the past few weeks are going unnoticed however h e Ra-zorbacks considered a bottom feeder in the SEC again this preseason received 17 votes in the Coaches Poll

Teams in the division can-not af ord to take a week of h ere is no overlooking teams or guaranteed wins like in the other so-called ldquotop football conferencesrdquo

h e Big Ten has Illinois Minnesota and Purdue h e Big 12 has Iowa State Kansas and dare I say Texas who is of to a tragically slow start h e Atlantic Coast Conference has Wake Forest Boston College

and Syracuse and the Pac-12 has Washington State and Col-orado to beat up on each week

h e SEC has only Vander-bilt but the Commodores gave No 15 South Carolina all they wanted and more last Satur-day It took a 21-point fourth quarter for the Gamecocks to escape Nashville alive

Kentucky also not a push-over anymore and Arkansas have been the surprises of the SEC thus far Both programs are vastly improved over the teams they i elded a season ago Opponents can no longer deem the schools guaranteed wins

With the current state of the SEC and the Western di-

vision in particular Arkansasrsquo quick start is seen by many as just what they needed to do to keep up Alabama Auburn Texas AampM and the other divi-sion opponents wait for no one Teams have to either get busy winning or be the black sheep of the division

Herersquos a i nal stat to ponder the SEC West is the only divi-sion among Power 5 confer-ences ndash Pac 12 Big 12 Big Ten ACC and SEC ndash to not have a team at or below the 500 mark this season

Arkansasrsquo start to the season is impressive considering low expectations but these days in the SEC West itrsquos just par for the course

Scottie BordelonSports Editor

Arkansasrsquo Quick Start Par for Course in Tough SEC West

h e Razorbacks head to Arlington Texas on Satur-day to take on No 6 Texas AampM in the much anticipated Southwest Classic

h is is the i rst time the game will be played in ATampT Stadium since AampM joined the Southeastern Conference in 2012

h is matchup which dates back to 1903 has a rich ri-valry h e teams stopped their annual matchup in 1991 when Arkansas joined the SEC h e series was renewed in 2009 under the name Southwest Classic and the teams now return to a neutral site ndash the

home of the Dallas Cowboysh e Razorbacks lead the

all-time series record 41-26-3 though AampM has won the last three years h e Aggies (4-0 1-0 SEC) have won all of their games by at least 24 points scoring 163 points so far this season

Some worried about what would happen to the Aggie of ense this season at er los-ing Johnny Manziel Mike Evans and Jake Matthews to the NFL but those fears were quickly put away at er sopho-more quarterback Kenny Hillrsquos record breaking season opener against South Caro-lina

Virtually unstoppable Hill not only broke Manzielrsquos single game passing record

but his 1094 passing yards in the i rst three games also beat Manzielrsquos record of 984 set in 2013 Hill has completed 97 passes for 1359 yards and 13 touchdowns with one inter-ception so far While Hill is a force in the pocket he is also competent on his feet rushing for 106 yards this season

h e Aggiesrsquo passing game is extremely dangerous large-ly in part to the depth of the receiving corps Any receiver on the roster is likely to make a catch making the Aggies in-credibly dii cult to defend

Seven Aggie receivers have more than 100 yards receiving so far this season and nine have caught touchdowns Se-nior Malcome Kennedy has been targeted most this sea-

son putting up 334 yards and a touchdown Josh Reynolds however has made it into the end zone four times and racked up 247 yards receiving

Despite averaging 405 passing yards a game this season the Aggies are 40th nationally in rushing yards averaging 207 a game

Like their receivers the Aggies give playing time to a host of running backs Six dif erent backs have more than 100 yards rushing Trey Williams Brandon Williams James White and Tra Carson see the most carries averag-ing 64 yards per carry col-lectively Carson and Wil-liams lead the team in rushing touchdowns with four each

AampMrsquos dynamic and pow-

erful of ense which was in-credibly dii cult to slow down last year with Evans and John-ny Football looks to be just as hard if not harder to stop this year

On the other side of the ball AampM has allowed only one touchdown in the last three games and is averaging

nearly four sacks a game so far this season

While the Aggies rank sec-ond in the country in points scored with an average of 55 a game Arkansas is third with an average of nearly 49 h e outcome of the game should be determined by whose de-fense can get the most stops

At er a third straight win of more than 20 points it may be hard to i nd nega-tives h ere are certainly a lot of positives to take from the third week of the season but no game has been perfect and the cup-cake schedule is over for the Hogs h ree straight games against top-15 teams are up next With the meat of the schedule looming here is a look at both the good and bad from SaturdayBuy Brandon Allen Pass-ing

All season Bret Bielema has called the passing game ldquothe best kept secret in Fay-ettevillerdquo

h is week fans got a little glimpse of what they could do It wasnrsquot spectacu-lar but it was ei cient Al-lenrsquos 68 percent completion percentage was the highest of his career when throwing 10 or more passes

His 199 passing yards

might not jump of the stats page but both touchdowns were well-thrown balls and Bielema raved about the job Allen did of going through his progression

Seven dif erent Razor-backs caught a pass and that was without Demetrius Wilson who was sidelined with an ankle injurySell Brandon Allen Diving

As much as players love to see their quarterback go all out for the team for the love of God Allen quit div-ing into the end zone

Last seasonrsquos shoulder in-jury against Southern Miss was because of diving into the end zone His shoulder is the key to Arkansas mak-ing a bowl game this season meaning those risky dives arenrsquot something he should be doing

His mobility is a tool and a weapon though He had a key scramble on a third down to keep a drive alive but if Allen is going to run he needs to learn to slide

Razorback Hockey Club Looks to Continue Winning Tradition

son was in 2008 and coach Brian Gallini has headed the Ice Hogs since the 2009-2010 season Since Gallini has been

head coach Arkansasrsquo record is 138-38-2 winning at nearly 80 percent of their games

Last year the Razorback

hockey team went 31-8 in the regular season h ey con-tinued into the postseason and beat Alabama to win the SECHC championship

Much of this success can be attributed to the work eth-ic of the team Gallini said

ldquoOur winning tradition comes from a fundamental belief in the strength of our programrsquos culture ndash a culture that emphasizes the impor-tance of players placing the team before themselvesrdquo Gallini said ldquoSo long as each player buys into our culture and how we do things the scoreboard alongside our overall season record takes care of itselfrdquo

h e team made an appear-ance at nationals last season dropping their opening game

to Adrian College At er the loss Arkansas pummeled Neumann University 14-6 and thumped the University of Central Florida 6-2

h e leading scorer two of the past three seasons was Sundstedt In 2011 he led the team with 25 goals In 2012 he fell short of the teamrsquos top scorer by just three goals but accounted for 39 assists Last season he led the team with 27 goals

Ryan Machos has also been a signi cant player on the team He led the team in goals with 30 in 2012 and was just behind Sundstedt and Marcel Toure with 22 goals in 2013

h e loss of Sundstedt will leave a void in the team and someone will have to take

initiative to become the next scoring leader

ldquoMarty was a special player who contributed an extraordinary amount to the Razorback hockey programrdquo Gallini said ldquoOur team will miss his on-ice skill alongside his of -the-ice leadershiprdquo

However there are new weapons for the Hogs that will help ll his place

Gallini said he expects a lot from new recruits Landyn Howze Matt Robinson and Colin South h ese players are expected to contribute to the of ense immediately

Veterans Machos and For-est Mudgett are projected to continue their of ensive success Meanwhile Oliver Easton will remain a power-ful weapon on defense

ldquoh is yearrsquos team is excep-tionally deeprdquo Gallini said ldquoOn any given night we ex-pect dif erent players to ll the void Martyrsquos departure leavesrdquo

Arkansasrsquo hockey season began against Metro State with two games h e Hogs lost the rst game but won an overtime shootout to win the second game

Arkansas opened confer-ence play against Auburn on Sept 19 winning 29-0 Fol-lowing the loss Auburn elect-ed to forfeit the second game h e blowout score indicates the Hogs may again dominate the SECHC

A missed eld goal didnrsquot hurt the Razorbacks against Northern Illinois but an Southeastern Conference game could possibly hinge on a 42-yard eld goal and John Henson needs to make them

In his career Henson is 5-for-7 kicking eld goals which is respectable but the longest of those is just 25 yards Both of his attempts from outside 30 yards were missed

College football has shown that solid eld goal kicking is a must and the Hogs need Henson to step up and knock down a big one later this sea-son

the stands will still see you Being able to show-case a talent that Irsquove worked at for 16 years is a very rewarding feelingrdquo

Ogden said she agreed that collegiate twirl-ing is all about pleasing the crowd

ldquoMy main goal is to be an entertainer on the eld I have the opportunity to do whatever I pleaserdquo she said ldquoIt is more like a freestyle compared to the competitive twirling stylerdquo

Both girls said their time performing for the UofA has been an incredible journey

ldquoe RMB is an amazing organizationrdquo Og-den said ldquoere is nothing better than spending game day with the Razorback Marching Band Performing pregame and haltime are absolute highlights of my years in college so farrdquo

Lambeth also said she enjoys the camara-derie that comes with being on a team of nine other twirlers

ldquoIrsquove met many wonderful friends and enjoy the atmosphere that all of the band members

bring to practices and game daysrdquo she said ldquohe RMB is full of members who are passion-ate and positive about what they do which is a great environment to be a part ofrdquo

Coaching is something Lambeth and Ogden both see in their futures

ldquoBaton twirling is a sport that has taught me so much about goal setting hard work determination and teamworkrdquo Lambeth said ldquohrough coaching I would be able to pass these skills down to younger twirlers and hope-fully help them receive college scholarships someday toordquo

Ogden who has been teaching since the age of 13 is currently working to achieve all her re-quirements to become a judge for the sport She said she looks to gain more students now that she is retired from competing

ldquoI hope to continue teaching until I canrsquot anymorerdquo she said ldquoI would also like to receive my judging license in the next few yearsrdquo

Adams Pryor Sta PhotographerMcKinsey Ogden practices for her game day performance as a feature twirler is is her fourth year in the band

that that they kind of skim over his life and the events in his life that really explain much of the art and the directions he tookrdquo Sutherland said

Not only did 14 years of hard work pay of in the form of a com-pleted and well-praised work of writing Sutherlandrsquos work also be-came part of a PBS documentary ldquoJames McNeill Whistler amp he Case for Beautyrdquo he documentary aired nationally Sept 12 on PBS af-iliates and is available to buy

Sutherland said he was irst ap-proached to help with the docu-mentary in 2005 He was inish-ing his research on Whistler and beginning to write while visiting Cambridge when the producer of the ilm Karen homas contacted him

ldquoSomeone had told Karen about me and that I was one of the peo-ple she needed to talk tordquo Suther-land said ldquoShe asked me if I would be one of the consultants on the script which I agreed to dordquo

Sutherland helped show hom-as around the places Whistler had lived gave hours of interview time and proofed the script for accura-cy Nine years later they arrived at the inished product

ldquohese things take timerdquo Sutherland said ldquoWhen you get down to the end it has to be so precise I remember with the last drat she said lsquoWe have to cut ive seconds Where can we cut ive secondsrsquo It was a challenge in that respectrdquo

Anyone thinking about enter-ing the ield of history must be willing to dedicate years to school Sutherland said

ldquoItrsquos tough nowadaysrdquo Suther-land said ldquoMake sure that is what you want to do that you are will-ing to devote six or seven years to graduate school It takes as much time as it does to become a medical doctor and the inancial rewards are not as great

ldquoBut I am one of those who de-cided that that really was what I

wanted to do And if luck is with you and you stick to it you can re-alize that ambitionrdquo he said

Sutherlandrsquos background in-stilled in him the ambition to pur-sue history speciically the Civil War he said

Although he grew up in Detroit and attended northern schools he said his family originally came from southern farmlands Both sets of grandparents moved in the 1920s to work in the auto shops

ldquohey were always talking about the Civil War and from a south-ern perspectiverdquo Sutherland said ldquoHearing their stories and then attending northern schools and seeing a northern perspective on the war it was always kind of fas-cinated to merdquo

Again it took Sutherland time to realize his fascination could turn into more than an interest It was not until ater his time in the Navy and when he decided to go to graduate school that he decided to pursue history he said

ldquoI always had a boyhood inter-est in historyrdquo Sutherland said ldquoI came back ater my service and there were no jobs teaching so I just decided to go to grad school It was only then really at the age of about 24 that I decided this (being a historian) looked like a possible careerrdquo

Aside from the nine books he wrote Sutherland has edited or co-edited six other books Most of them were focused on the Civil War and 19th century American society He has received more than 40 honors awards and research grants for his work

Sutherland is working on a new book this time about Whistlerrsquos mother who is the subject of one of Whistlerrsquos most famous works

ldquoI have had so much fun writing about Whistlerrdquo Sutherland said ldquoMy new project I am working on is a biography about his mother the famous portrait I am reluctant to leave that world Itrsquos so much funrdquo

COMMENTARY

h e Razorbacksrsquo quick turn-around at er their season open-ing loss to Auburn has turned heads and caught the attention

of national mediaArkansasrsquo improvement is

evident to every person who has tuned in to a game this season If those same people have tuned in to a game featur-ing another SEC West school however they would realize the quick impressive start by Ar-kansas is just par for the course in the division

h e Southeastern Confer-encersquos Western division is sim-ply the best division in all of college football Itrsquos been this way for quite some time and itrsquos not even debatable h e SEC West is practically a Power 5 conference all on its own

What also is not debatable is that the division is at an all-

time high in regards to compet-itiveness from top to bottom

Six of seven schools in the Western division are ranked in the most recent Amway Coaches Poll which was re-leased Sunday Arkansas was the odd man out h e remain-ing six schools were all ranked in the top 18

Mississippi State found its way into the top 25 at er an impressive win in Baton Rouge in front of more than 102000 screaming Cajuns h e Bull-dogs jumped 11 spots to No 16 while LSU fell 10 spots to No 18

Alabama heads the division at No 2 followed by Auburn at No 5 Texas AampM at No 7

and Ole Miss at No 11 It isnrsquot as if Arkansasrsquo performances the past few weeks are going unnoticed however h e Ra-zorbacks considered a bottom feeder in the SEC again this preseason received 17 votes in the Coaches Poll

Teams in the division can-not af ord to take a week of h ere is no overlooking teams or guaranteed wins like in the other so-called ldquotop football conferencesrdquo

h e Big Ten has Illinois Minnesota and Purdue h e Big 12 has Iowa State Kansas and dare I say Texas who is of to a tragically slow start h e Atlantic Coast Conference has Wake Forest Boston College

and Syracuse and the Pac-12 has Washington State and Col-orado to beat up on each week

h e SEC has only Vander-bilt but the Commodores gave No 15 South Carolina all they wanted and more last Satur-day It took a 21-point fourth quarter for the Gamecocks to escape Nashville alive

Kentucky also not a push-over anymore and Arkansas have been the surprises of the SEC thus far Both programs are vastly improved over the teams they i elded a season ago Opponents can no longer deem the schools guaranteed wins

With the current state of the SEC and the Western di-

vision in particular Arkansasrsquo quick start is seen by many as just what they needed to do to keep up Alabama Auburn Texas AampM and the other divi-sion opponents wait for no one Teams have to either get busy winning or be the black sheep of the division

Herersquos a i nal stat to ponder the SEC West is the only divi-sion among Power 5 confer-ences ndash Pac 12 Big 12 Big Ten ACC and SEC ndash to not have a team at or below the 500 mark this season

Arkansasrsquo start to the season is impressive considering low expectations but these days in the SEC West itrsquos just par for the course

Scottie BordelonSports Editor

Arkansasrsquo Quick Start Par for Course in Tough SEC West

h e Razorbacks head to Arlington Texas on Satur-day to take on No 6 Texas AampM in the much anticipated Southwest Classic

h is is the i rst time the game will be played in ATampT Stadium since AampM joined the Southeastern Conference in 2012

h is matchup which dates back to 1903 has a rich ri-valry h e teams stopped their annual matchup in 1991 when Arkansas joined the SEC h e series was renewed in 2009 under the name Southwest Classic and the teams now return to a neutral site ndash the

home of the Dallas Cowboysh e Razorbacks lead the

all-time series record 41-26-3 though AampM has won the last three years h e Aggies (4-0 1-0 SEC) have won all of their games by at least 24 points scoring 163 points so far this season

Some worried about what would happen to the Aggie of ense this season at er los-ing Johnny Manziel Mike Evans and Jake Matthews to the NFL but those fears were quickly put away at er sopho-more quarterback Kenny Hillrsquos record breaking season opener against South Caro-lina

Virtually unstoppable Hill not only broke Manzielrsquos single game passing record

but his 1094 passing yards in the i rst three games also beat Manzielrsquos record of 984 set in 2013 Hill has completed 97 passes for 1359 yards and 13 touchdowns with one inter-ception so far While Hill is a force in the pocket he is also competent on his feet rushing for 106 yards this season

h e Aggiesrsquo passing game is extremely dangerous large-ly in part to the depth of the receiving corps Any receiver on the roster is likely to make a catch making the Aggies in-credibly dii cult to defend

Seven Aggie receivers have more than 100 yards receiving so far this season and nine have caught touchdowns Se-nior Malcome Kennedy has been targeted most this sea-

son putting up 334 yards and a touchdown Josh Reynolds however has made it into the end zone four times and racked up 247 yards receiving

Despite averaging 405 passing yards a game this season the Aggies are 40th nationally in rushing yards averaging 207 a game

Like their receivers the Aggies give playing time to a host of running backs Six dif erent backs have more than 100 yards rushing Trey Williams Brandon Williams James White and Tra Carson see the most carries averag-ing 64 yards per carry col-lectively Carson and Wil-liams lead the team in rushing touchdowns with four each

AampMrsquos dynamic and pow-

erful of ense which was in-credibly dii cult to slow down last year with Evans and John-ny Football looks to be just as hard if not harder to stop this year

On the other side of the ball AampM has allowed only one touchdown in the last three games and is averaging

nearly four sacks a game so far this season

While the Aggies rank sec-ond in the country in points scored with an average of 55 a game Arkansas is third with an average of nearly 49 h e outcome of the game should be determined by whose de-fense can get the most stops

TV CBS

At er a third straight win of more than 20 points it may be hard to i nd nega-tives h ere are certainly a lot of positives to take from the third week of the season but no game has been perfect and the cup-cake schedule is over for the Hogs h ree straight games against top-15 teams are up next With the meat of the schedule looming here is a look at both the good and bad from SaturdayBuy Brandon Allen Pass-ing

All season Bret Bielema has called the passing game ldquothe best kept secret in Fay-ettevillerdquo

h is week fans got a little glimpse of what they could do It wasnrsquot spectacu-lar but it was ei cient Al-lenrsquos 68 percent completion percentage was the highest of his career when throwing 10 or more passes

His 199 passing yards

might not jump of the stats page but both touchdowns were well-thrown balls and Bielema raved about the job Allen did of going through his progression

Seven dif erent Razor-backs caught a pass and that was without Demetrius Wilson who was sidelined with an ankle injurySell Brandon Allen Diving

As much as players love to see their quarterback go all out for the team for the love of God Allen quit div-ing into the end zone

Last seasonrsquos shoulder in-jury against Southern Miss was because of diving into the end zone His shoulder is the key to Arkansas mak-ing a bowl game this season meaning those risky dives arenrsquot something he should be doing

His mobility is a tool and a weapon though He had a key scramble on a third down to keep a drive alive but if Allen is going to run he needs to learn to slide

Razorback Hockey Club Looks to Continue Winning Tradition

son was in 2008 and coach Brian Gallini has headed the Ice Hogs since the 2009-2010 season Since Gallini has been

head coach Arkansasrsquo record is 138-38-2 winning at nearly 80 percent of their games

Last year the Razorback

hockey team went 31-8 in the regular season h ey con-tinued into the postseason and beat Alabama to win the SECHC championship

Much of this success can be attributed to the work eth-ic of the team Gallini said

ldquoOur winning tradition comes from a fundamental belief in the strength of our programrsquos culture ndash a culture that emphasizes the impor-tance of players placing the team before themselvesrdquo Gallini said ldquoSo long as each player buys into our culture and how we do things the scoreboard alongside our overall season record takes care of itselfrdquo

h e team made an appear-ance at nationals last season dropping their opening game

to Adrian College At er the loss Arkansas pummeled Neumann University 14-6 and thumped the University of Central Florida 6-2

h e leading scorer two of the past three seasons was Sundstedt In 2011 he led the team with 25 goals In 2012 he fell short of the teamrsquos top scorer by just three goals but accounted for 39 assists Last season he led the team with 27 goals

Ryan Machos has also been a signi cant player on the team He led the team in goals with 30 in 2012 and was just behind Sundstedt and Marcel Toure with 22 goals in 2013

h e loss of Sundstedt will leave a void in the team and someone will have to take

initiative to become the next scoring leader

ldquoMarty was a special player who contributed an extraordinary amount to the Razorback hockey programrdquo Gallini said ldquoOur team will miss his on-ice skill alongside his of -the-ice leadershiprdquo

However there are new weapons for the Hogs that will help ll his place

Gallini said he expects a lot from new recruits Landyn Howze Matt Robinson and Colin South h ese players are expected to contribute to the of ense immediately

Veterans Machos and For-est Mudgett are projected to continue their of ensive success Meanwhile Oliver Easton will remain a power-ful weapon on defense

ldquoh is yearrsquos team is excep-tionally deeprdquo Gallini said ldquoOn any given night we ex-pect dif erent players to ll the void Martyrsquos departure leavesrdquo

Arkansasrsquo hockey season began against Metro State with two games h e Hogs lost the rst game but won an overtime shootout to win the second game

Arkansas opened confer-ence play against Auburn on Sept 19 winning 29-0 Fol-lowing the loss Auburn elect-ed to forfeit the second game h e blowout score indicates the Hogs may again dominate the SECHC

Next weekend the Razor-backs will travel to Oklahoma to play the Sooners on Friday and Saturday

Replacing Zach Hocker was never going to be an easy task Hocker made long eld goals look ef ortless and may have spoiled Razorback fans

A missed eld goal didnrsquot hurt the Razorbacks against Northern Illinois but an Southeastern Conference game could possibly hinge on a 42-yard eld goal and John Henson needs to make them

In his career Henson is 5-for-7 kicking eld goals which is respectable but the longest of those is just 25 yards Both of his attempts from outside 30 yards were missed

College football has shown that solid eld goal kicking is a must and the Hogs need Henson to step up and knock down a big one later this sea-son

COMMENTARY

h e Razorbacksrsquo quick turn-around at er their season open-ing loss to Auburn has turned heads and caught the attention

of national mediaArkansasrsquo improvement is

evident to every person who has tuned in to a game this season If those same people have tuned in to a game featur-ing another SEC West school however they would realize the quick impressive start by Ar-kansas is just par for the course in the division

h e Southeastern Confer-encersquos Western division is sim-ply the best division in all of college football Itrsquos been this way for quite some time and itrsquos not even debatable h e SEC West is practically a Power 5 conference all on its own

What also is not debatable is that the division is at an all-

time high in regards to compet-itiveness from top to bottom

Six of seven schools in the Western division are ranked in the most recent Amway Coaches Poll which was re-leased Sunday Arkansas was the odd man out h e remain-ing six schools were all ranked in the top 18

Mississippi State found its way into the top 25 at er an impressive win in Baton Rouge in front of more than 102000 screaming Cajuns h e Bull-dogs jumped 11 spots to No 16 while LSU fell 10 spots to No 18

Alabama heads the division at No 2 followed by Auburn at No 5 Texas AampM at No 7

and Ole Miss at No 11 It isnrsquot as if Arkansasrsquo performances the past few weeks are going unnoticed however h e Ra-zorbacks considered a bottom feeder in the SEC again this preseason received 17 votes in the Coaches Poll

Teams in the division can-not af ord to take a week of h ere is no overlooking teams or guaranteed wins like in the other so-called ldquotop football conferencesrdquo

h e Big Ten has Illinois Minnesota and Purdue h e Big 12 has Iowa State Kansas and dare I say Texas who is of to a tragically slow start h e Atlantic Coast Conference has Wake Forest Boston College

and Syracuse and the Pac-12 has Washington State and Col-orado to beat up on each week

h e SEC has only Vander-bilt but the Commodores gave No 15 South Carolina all they wanted and more last Satur-day It took a 21-point fourth quarter for the Gamecocks to escape Nashville alive

Kentucky also not a push-over anymore and Arkansas have been the surprises of the SEC thus far Both programs are vastly improved over the teams they i elded a season ago Opponents can no longer deem the schools guaranteed wins

With the current state of the SEC and the Western di-

vision in particular Arkansasrsquo quick start is seen by many as just what they needed to do to keep up Alabama Auburn Texas AampM and the other divi-sion opponents wait for no one Teams have to either get busy winning or be the black sheep of the division

Herersquos a i nal stat to ponder the SEC West is the only divi-sion among Power 5 confer-ences ndash Pac 12 Big 12 Big Ten ACC and SEC ndash to not have a team at or below the 500 mark this season

Arkansasrsquo start to the season is impressive considering low expectations but these days in the SEC West itrsquos just par for the course

Arkansasrsquo Quick Start Par for Course in Tough SEC West

h e Razorbacks head to Arlington Texas on Satur-day to take on No 6 Texas AampM in the much anticipated Southwest Classic

h is is the i rst time the game will be played in ATampT Stadium since AampM joined the Southeastern Conference in 2012

h is matchup which dates back to 1903 has a rich ri-valry h e teams stopped their annual matchup in 1991 when Arkansas joined the SEC h e series was renewed in 2009 under the name Southwest Classic and the teams now return to a neutral site ndash the

home of the Dallas Cowboysh e Razorbacks lead the

all-time series record 41-26-3 though AampM has won the last three years h e Aggies (4-0 1-0 SEC) have won all of their games by at least 24 points scoring 163 points so far this season

Some worried about what would happen to the Aggie of ense this season at er los-ing Johnny Manziel Mike Evans and Jake Matthews to the NFL but those fears were quickly put away at er sopho-more quarterback Kenny Hillrsquos record breaking season opener against South Caro-lina

Virtually unstoppable Hill not only broke Manzielrsquos single game passing record

but his 1094 passing yards in the i rst three games also beat Manzielrsquos record of 984 set in 2013 Hill has completed 97 passes for 1359 yards and 13 touchdowns with one inter-ception so far While Hill is a force in the pocket he is also competent on his feet rushing for 106 yards this season

h e Aggiesrsquo passing game is extremely dangerous large-ly in part to the depth of the receiving corps Any receiver on the roster is likely to make a catch making the Aggies in-credibly dii cult to defend

Seven Aggie receivers have more than 100 yards receiving so far this season and nine have caught touchdowns Se-nior Malcome Kennedy has been targeted most this sea-

son putting up 334 yards and a touchdown Josh Reynolds however has made it into the end zone four times and racked up 247 yards receiving

Despite averaging 405 passing yards a game this season the Aggies are 40th nationally in rushing yards averaging 207 a game

Like their receivers the Aggies give playing time to a host of running backs Six dif erent backs have more than 100 yards rushing Trey Williams Brandon Williams James White and Tra Carson see the most carries averag-ing 64 yards per carry col-lectively Carson and Wil-liams lead the team in rushing touchdowns with four each

AampMrsquos dynamic and pow-

erful of ense which was in-credibly dii cult to slow down last year with Evans and John-ny Football looks to be just as hard if not harder to stop this year

On the other side of the ball AampM has allowed only one touchdown in the last three games and is averaging

nearly four sacks a game so far this season

While the Aggies rank sec-ond in the country in points scored with an average of 55 a game Arkansas is third with an average of nearly 49 h e outcome of the game should be determined by whose de-fense can get the most stops

His 199 passing yards

might not jump of the stats page but both touchdowns were well-thrown balls and Bielema raved about the job Allen did of going through his progression

Seven dif erent Razor-backs caught a pass and that was without Demetrius Wilson who was sidelined with an ankle injurySell Brandon Allen Diving

As much as players love to see their quarterback go all out for the team for the love of God Allen quit div-ing into the end zone

Last seasonrsquos shoulder in-jury against Southern Miss was because of diving into the end zone His shoulder is the key to Arkansas mak-ing a bowl game this season meaning those risky dives arenrsquot something he should be doing

His mobility is a tool and a weapon though He had a key scramble on a third down to keep a drive alive but if Allen is going to run he needs to learn to slide

Razorback Hockey Club Looks to Continue Winning Tradition

son was in 2008 and coach Brian Gallini has headed the Ice Hogs since the 2009-2010 season Since Gallini has been

head coach Arkansasrsquo record is 138-38-2 winning at nearly 80 percent of their games

Last year the Razorback

hockey team went 31-8 in the regular season h ey con-tinued into the postseason and beat Alabama to win the SECHC championship

Much of this success can be attributed to the work eth-ic of the team Gallini said

ldquoOur winning tradition comes from a fundamental belief in the strength of our programrsquos culture ndash a culture that emphasizes the impor-tance of players placing the team before themselvesrdquo Gallini said ldquoSo long as each player buys into our culture and how we do things the scoreboard alongside our overall season record takes care of itselfrdquo

h e team made an appear-ance at nationals last season dropping their opening game

to Adrian College At er the loss Arkansas pummeled Neumann University 14-6 and thumped the University of Central Florida 6-2

h e leading scorer two of the past three seasons was Sundstedt In 2011 he led the team with 25 goals In 2012 he fell short of the teamrsquos top scorer by just three goals but accounted for 39 assists Last season he led the team with 27 goals

Ryan Machos has also been a signi cant player on the team He led the team in goals with 30 in 2012 and was just behind Sundstedt and Marcel Toure with 22 goals in 2013

h e loss of Sundstedt will leave a void in the team and someone will have to take

initiative to become the next scoring leader

ldquoMarty was a special player who contributed an extraordinary amount to the Razorback hockey programrdquo Gallini said ldquoOur team will miss his on-ice skill alongside his of -the-ice leadershiprdquo

However there are new weapons for the Hogs that will help ll his place

Gallini said he expects a lot from new recruits Landyn Howze Matt Robinson and Colin South h ese players are expected to contribute to the of ense immediately

Veterans Machos and For-est Mudgett are projected to continue their of ensive success Meanwhile Oliver Easton will remain a power-ful weapon on defense

ldquoh is yearrsquos team is excep-tionally deeprdquo Gallini said ldquoOn any given night we ex-pect dif erent players to ll the void Martyrsquos departure leavesrdquo

Arkansasrsquo hockey season began against Metro State with two games h e Hogs lost the rst game but won an overtime shootout to win the second game

Arkansas opened confer-ence play against Auburn on Sept 19 winning 29-0 Fol-lowing the loss Auburn elect-ed to forfeit the second game h e blowout score indicates the Hogs may again dominate the SECHC

Next weekend the Razor-backs will travel to Oklahoma to play the Sooners on Friday and Saturday

A missed eld goal didnrsquot hurt the Razorbacks against Northern Illinois but an Southeastern Conference game could possibly hinge on a 42-yard eld goal and John Henson needs to make them

In his career Henson is 5-for-7 kicking eld goals which is respectable but the longest of those is just 25 yards Both of his attempts from outside 30 yards were missed

College football has shown that solid eld goal kicking is a must and the Hogs need Henson to step up and knock down a big one later this sea-son

A missed eld goal didnrsquot hurt the Razorbacks against Northern Illinois but an Southeastern Conference game could possibly hinge on a 42-yard eld goal and John Henson needs to make them

In his career Henson is 5-for-7 kicking eld goals which is respectable but the longest of those is just 25 yards Both of his attempts from outside 30 yards were missed

College football has shown that solid eld goal kicking is a must and the Hogs need Henson to step up and knock down a big one later this sea-son

Razorback Hockey Club Looks to Continue Winning Tradition

son was in 2008 and coach Brian Gallini has headed the Ice Hogs since the 2009-2010 season Since Gallini has been

head coach Arkansasrsquo record is 138-38-2 winning at nearly 80 percent of their games

Last year the Razorback

hockey team went 31-8 in the regular season h ey con-tinued into the postseason and beat Alabama to win the SECHC championship

Much of this success can be attributed to the work eth-ic of the team Gallini said

ldquoOur winning tradition comes from a fundamental belief in the strength of our programrsquos culture ndash a culture that emphasizes the impor-tance of players placing the team before themselvesrdquo Gallini said ldquoSo long as each player buys into our culture and how we do things the scoreboard alongside our overall season record takes care of itselfrdquo

h e team made an appear-ance at nationals last season dropping their opening game

to Adrian College At er the loss Arkansas pummeled Neumann University 14-6 and thumped the University of Central Florida 6-2

h e leading scorer two of the past three seasons was Sundstedt In 2011 he led the team with 25 goals In 2012 he fell short of the teamrsquos top scorer by just three goals but accounted for 39 assists Last season he led the team with 27 goals

Ryan Machos has also been a signi cant player on the team He led the team in goals with 30 in 2012 and was just behind Sundstedt and Marcel Toure with 22 goals in 2013

h e loss of Sundstedt will leave a void in the team and someone will have to take

initiative to become the next scoring leader

ldquoMarty was a special player who contributed an extraordinary amount to the Razorback hockey programrdquo Gallini said ldquoOur team will miss his on-ice skill alongside his of -the-ice leadershiprdquo

However there are new weapons for the Hogs that will help ll his place

Gallini said he expects a lot from new recruits Landyn Howze Matt Robinson and Colin South h ese players are expected to contribute to the of ense immediately

Veterans Machos and For-est Mudgett are projected to continue their of ensive success Meanwhile Oliver Easton will remain a power-ful weapon on defense

ldquoh is yearrsquos team is excep-tionally deeprdquo Gallini said ldquoOn any given night we ex-pect dif erent players to ll the void Martyrsquos departure leavesrdquo

Arkansasrsquo hockey season began against Metro State with two games h e Hogs lost the rst game but won an overtime shootout to win the second game

Arkansas opened confer-ence play against Auburn on Sept 19 winning 29-0 Fol-lowing the loss Auburn elect-ed to forfeit the second game h e blowout score indicates the Hogs may again dominate the SECHC

Next weekend the Razor-backs will travel to Oklahoma to play the Sooners on Friday and Saturday
