THE 2010 CENSUS CHANGED the Electoral College vote apportionment in favor of the Republicans. States that voted Democrats in the last 3 elections lost 6 votes, with the Republicans gaining it mostly in Texas, which has 4 more votes. States that voted for both parties in the last 3 elections balanced each other out.

BARACK OBAMA CAUSED 10 States to change their vote when com-pared to the 2004 Elections between Bush and Kerry. Neveda, Colorado, New Mexico, Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Iowa, and Indiana switched to vote Democrat. Obama also won one vote from Nebraska’s second congressional district.

Hunger, now termed by the federal government as food insecurity, is a con-tinuously growing problem in the United States. According to the US Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service, approximately one in seven US households was food insecure in 2010 -- a record high.

Also in 2010, 5.4% of all US households had very low food security which means that household members’ eating habits were reduced or disrupted due to a lack of food.

To help combat hunger within our com-munity, our dining services team is promot-ing a Helping Hands Across America food drive. All donations will be made to Halifax

Urban Ministries (HUM). HUM is a local organization that pro-

vides services to Volusia and Flagler county residents by help-ing to prevent homelessness and hunger. In 2011, they provided over 17,000 food packages to the needy, served an average of 1,200 breakfast bags per month, and served over 150,000 hot meals at local centers.

This is a prodigious opportunity for our dedicated Embry-Riddle family to give back to Daytona Beach. Bring your non-perish-

able food items to any of the labeled boxes at all dining facilities and in all residence halls to support our community.

If you’d like to win big for your student organi-zation or you’re simply feeling competitive, join us at the food weigh-in on Thursday, November 16th from 2pm to 4pm on the West Lawn.

Happy November ERAU! The Board of Trustees met October 25th and 26th this past month. The Trustees get together three times a year to discuss the state of the university and initiate any action necessary to help the growth of the institution.

Some topics of discussion included more academic programs, the use of Worldwide campus to support Daytona and Prescott, and construction projects.

Firstly, the university would like to add more Ph.D. programs. As we are moving more towards a research based college, it is important for students to be able to continue their education even after the Master’s level.

Embry-Riddle will be adding three new Ph.D.w programs starting in the Fall of 2013, with a possible fourth program in Human Factors.

The university is also researching the option of adding a Master’s in Unmanned Aerial Systems. The board voted unani-mously to add a Master’s in Security and Intelligence Studies at the Prescott campus.

These significant changes have come as a result of demand coming from companies within the industry. These demands allow our university to grow and expand.

Also, these new academic programs paral-lel what Dr. Johnson is trying to achieve in starting a research park here at the Daytona Beach campus. This research park would allow companies to sponsor our students and assist in their research projects.

The long term goal is that this research park would bring money to the university thus reducing the cost of tuition. Dr. Johnson sees Embry-Riddle as an entrepreneurial school that can fund itself.

The Board of Trustees Subcommittee on Worldwide Growth and Development chaired by Jim Hagedorn met to discuss the Worldwide campus of Embry-Riddle. Currently, Worldwide has 15,837 undergrad-uate students and 7,627 graduate students.

Mr. Hagedorn’s vision for the committee is to incorporate Worldwide classes into the Daytona and Prescott campuses as a way to reduce to cost of tuition.

These courses would mainly be the gen-eral education classes that don’t require the

face-to-face time with an instructor or time in a lab. The committee talked about the pos-sibility of a two plus two program or a two plus three program which is essentially two years of Worldwide classes then two years of residential campus classes.

I’d like to note these are ideas and pos-sibilities that are being discussed. Nothing is set in stone and official. The Board likes to make sure an idea has been properly researched and planned before any sort of implementation.

The Facilities and Capital Planning Committee presented to the Board and updated everyone on the progress of con-struction. As most of you know, the new Jim W. Henderson Administrative and Welcome Center is now open for business.

It houses our university’s administration and is a venue for building relationships with companies from the industry and com-munity.

Chairman Henderson was very humbled to have the building named after him and he continuously thanks the students, because without them there is no Embry-Riddle. The committee also shared the new College

of Arts and Sciences building will be com-pleted by December of 2013.

Dr. Johnson and Mori Hosseini are ada-mant that the building be open and ready for student at the start of the Spring 2014 semester.

Another exciting construction project is the new student center. In a discussion with Dr. Johnson, he pointed to the current student center and said, “James, a year from today (October 24) we’re going to start tearing down that building.” Rest assured, the proper planning and coordination will be in place to relocate any campus entities associated with the current building.

If you are interested in planning the new student center you are more than wel-come to attend my Student Union Planning Committee meetings. They are every other Friday. The next meeting will be Friday November 2nd and alternate based on that date.

It is important for every student to know what is going on at the administrative level. I encourage you to e-mail any questions you have to sgapres@erau.edu. Also, please feel free to stop by the office! Have a good one!

This semester, the Academic Committee has been running two programs to recog-nize students and faculty who excel. The first is the Scholar of the Month which recognizes a student who demonstrates academic success, leadership, student involvement, and good overall character.

These students are recognized in four ways. The first is they get an article writ-ten about them the Avion Newspaper; then they get their name on a plaque in the SGA office, they receive a $25 gift certificate to a place in Daytona to spend, and they get recognition during the following SRB meeting.

Any student can receive the Scholar of the Month award, whether he or she be a freshman, sophomore, junior, senior or graduate student. Four scholars are recog-nized each month, one from each college. How does one get nominated and awarded Scholar of the Month?

Anyone, including faculty and students, can nominate another student of whom they believe is deserving of the award.

The form is very short and easy to fill out; it can be found on the SGA website, on the Student Representative Board and Academic Committee Connections page, and in the SGA office. The deadline for the last Scholar of the Month for the Fall 2012 academic term is Nov. 7 at 5:00 p.m.

The second program is the student’s first program. This program recognizes faculty and staff which put students first by doing more than the required amount to make sure that students on our campus are suc-cessful and well cared for.

The faculty/staff member is the awarded the Student’s First award also receives a $25 dollar gift certificate to a place in Daytona, recognition at the following SRB meeting, and recognition in the Avion Newspaper.

Only students can nominate for this award, and nomination forms can be found on the SGA website, on the Student Representative Board and Academic Committee Connections page, and in the SGA office.

The deadline for the Student’s First award for Fall 2012 academic term is Nov. 7 at 5:00 p.m.

A4 The Avion, November 6, 2012ATLANTIS’ FINAL Journey

After a final 9.8 mile, 11 hour journey, Space Shuttle Atlantis reached her final resting place at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor’s Complex on November 2.

Since her last landing on July 21, 2011, crews have been preparing Atlantis for exhibition at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor’s Complex operated by the Delaware North Company. Atlantis was the last space shuttle to leave the confines of the Kennedy Space Center. Discovery left for the Smithsonian in Virginia in April and Endeavour departed to California in September.

Atlantis’ final journey began in the morning before sunrise with Atlantis atop the Orbiter Transportation System that backed out of the Vehicle Assembly

Building’s High Bay 4 for a final time. From that point, local construction com-panies Ivey’s Construction and Beyel Brothers Crane & Rigging facilitated the transportation of the historic space relic down State Road 3 in the Kennedy Space Center to NASA Parkway where a cer-emony was held signing over the title from NASA to the Kennedy Space Center.

Speakers at the ceremony included NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden, NASA Kennedy Space Center Director Robert Cabana, Chief Operating Officer of Delaware North Companies Bill Moore

and astronauts of Atlantis’ final mission, STS-135.

After the conclusion of the ceremony, crews moved Atlantis to Exploration Park

where it was displayed for a few hours to allow members of the general public to view the orbiter from 360 degrees in a festival like environment. The activities included guest speakers, displays from major aerospace companies and children’s activities. Atlantis was then taken up Space Commerce Parkway to State Road 405 to the KSC Visitor’s complex where it was met by an entourage of thirty astronauts from all past NASA spaceflight programs to welcome the orbiter to its new home.

In order to make the move possible, 120 light poles were removed, along with 23 traffic signals, 56 traffic signs, 66 traffic signs and one high voltage power line. The orbiter was moved on the

motorized Orbiter Transporter System which was originally intended to move the orbiters from the processing facility to the launch complex at Vandenberg Air Force Base.

The $100 million exhibit that Atlantis is now housed in will be completed around the orbiter. Atlantis will be tilted at an angle with the cargo bay doors open and the Canadarm extended just like it would be on orbit during a Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission. The exhibit will feature many space shuttle program artifacts and a full size model of Hubble. The Atlantis exhibit is set to open in July 2013.

The Embry-Riddle men's basketball team started the 2012-13 season on Saturday night, taking care of Sterling (Kan.), 74-58 to earn the Eagles' first win of the year. The Blue and Gold (1-0) used a stifling defense in the first half to take a 40-22 lead into the break and never looked back. The Eagles will turn their attention to next weekend's Daytona Mitsubishi/Kia Shootout, pre-sented by SW Grill and their Friday night opponent, Shawnee State (Ohio).

The story of the night proved to be the Eagles' defense. The Warriors (1-1) shot just .250 from the floor in the first frame, managing just seven made field goals. Although Sterling improved it's shooting percentage to .429 in the second half, it

was too little too late as the Eagles had a sizable lead throughout the final 20 min-utes of play.

Sterling enjoyed a short-lived 5-4 lead with just under 17 minutes left to play in the first half, but Jason Powell's breakway layup at the 16:27 mark gave the Blue and Gold a lead it never relinquished.

The Eagles applied the pressure on the defensive end and it paid off on the offensive end as Head Coach Steve Ridder's squad grew the lead to its biggest margin of 19 with nine seconds left in the first. Embry-Riddle shot .500 from the field, including a 4-for-11 mark from behind the arc. Powell had 10 of the Eagles' 40 points in the period.

The second half started the same way the first ended, with the Eagles' defense too much for the Warriors. Embry-Riddle's larg-est lead of the night came at the 13:28 mark when Powell hit his first of two three-point buckets to put the Eagles up 52-29.

The Warriors were able to chip away at the lead, cutting their deficit to 13 with 9:21 left to play, but a quick four-point spurt by the Eagles quickly ballooned the lead back to 17. Sterling made another run in the closing moments, getting the Eagle advantage under double-digits, but the Eagles scored nine of the final 11 points to secure the victory.

Powell led the way for the Eagles with

16 points, three assists and two steals, while Rico Saldana, in his first game as an Eagle, posted a double-double with 14 points and 11 boards. Senior Daniel Mondragon chipped in 11 points, five assists and two steals, and DeForest Carter managed seven points, eight rebounds, six assists, three steals and a block. Daniel Kiesling, along with Saldana, made his Embry-Riddle debut against the Warriors, playing 16 minutes and pulling down five

rebounds in the win.Embry-Riddle ended the game with a .456

shooting percentage from the field and a .700 clip from the charity stripe. Both teams recorded 37 rebounds, but the Eagles col-lected 18 assists to Sterling's 11, while also winning the turnover battle with three less than the Warriors' 16.

Embry-Riddle improves to 21-4 in season openers and 2-0 against Sterling.

The eighth-ranked Embry-Riddle women's soccer team scored once in the first half and three times in the second to earn a spot in The Sun Conference women's soccer tournament champion-ship game on Saturday. The Eagles, seeded No. 1 in the seven-team tour-nament, topped fourth-seeded Webber International 4-1 to advance and improve their overall record to 14-5.

The Eagles will be playing in their fourth consecutive conference tourna-ment title game next Friday and will host No. 2 seed St. Thomas at the Embry-Riddle Soccer Stadium. The Lady Bobcats earned a spot in the champion-ship with a 3-0 win over No. 3 SCAD Savannah and will meet the Eagles in the tournament final for the second straight year.

The Eagles scored the first goal of the contest at the 8:17 mark. Krizzy Menez raced down the right side and got a shot off. WIU goalkeeper Makenzie Vance dove and managed to get and hand to the ball, but pushed it into the path of Martine Olsen who took advantage of an empty net to bury her 14th goal of the season

and put the Eagles up 1-0. With just under 10 minutes remaining

in the half, Alexis Garrand got the ball on the left flank and delivered a cross into the box where Ashley Palmer pushed it past ERAU netminder Lauren Gallant to pull the Lady Warriors level, 1-1.

Both teams worked hard to create additional scoring chances, but neither team was able to convert, resulting in a 1-1 halftime deadlock.

The Eagles' second goal came in the 62nd minute when Menez added a goal to her assist. The play started at midfield where Olsen lifted a perfectly weighted ball into Valerie Obita's path. The junior dribbled into the box before completing a square pass to Katherine Ebbs. Ebbs' shot was stopped by Vance, but once again, the Warrior goalkeeper surrendered a rebound and Menez took advantage of the miscue to net her 13th goal of the year and reclaim a one-goal lead for the Blue and Gold.

Just two minutes later, Menez was in action again. This time, she delivered a short cross in to Ebbs who, for the sec-ond time in as many tries, had her shot stopped by Vance. Once again, Vance was unable to corral the shot and Obita was on hand to tap in the rebound, wid-ening the gap to 3-1.

With under two minutes remaining Obita added the exclamation point with an unassisted score, registering her team-high 16th goal for the 4-1 final.

The Eagles bested the Lady Warriors 18-7 in shots. Webber International man-aged five shots on target, but Gallant came up with four saves, while her coun-terpart, Vance, was able to stop eight of the Eagles 12 shots on frame.

The Embry-Riddle men’s soccer team got a thrilling 2-1 overtime victory over Warner on Saturday afternoon in The Sun Conference Quarterfinal contest at the Embry-Riddle Soccer Stadium. The vic-tory sends the Eagles on to the semifinals to be held at St. Thomas on Nov. 9.

The Eagles fell behind early as Warner took advantage of Embry-Riddle’s aggres-sive offensive attack and caught the Blue and Gold in transition. Diego De la Fuente put the Royals on the board as he fired a shot from just inside the penalty box, squeezing the ball inside the crossbar. Iker Ibanez was able to cross the ball from left to right, leading De la Fuente into the box and in perfect position for the goal.

Embry-Riddle had several opportunities in the first half, including a Veit Couturier header that was knocked away at the last minute by a Royal defender, but could not convert before the half.

The physical play continued into the second half as five cautions were issued in

the period. Both teams played possession soccer, taking few chances in the early going.

The scoring opportunities started to mount for the Eagles late in the period with several shots going just wide of net that is until the 73rd minute when Nicklas Petersson found an opening and fired a laser through several defenders, past Royals goalkeeper Kyle Coleman and into the upper 90 for the equalizer.

With the score tied and time winding down, the Eagles’ last opportunity to win before overtime came off a set piece as Sam Fairhurst sent the ball into the box and found the head of Marcus Starke, but Starke’s header hit the crossbar and the scored remained 1-1 at the end of regula-tion.

The Eagles defense stood tall in the sec-ond half, allowing just two shots, while the Blue and Gold was able to tally nine.

It took just 2:30 for the Eagles to end the game in the extra period as Alexander MacDonald took control of the ball in the Eagles’ defensive third and recognized the two-v-two matchup downfield and sent a pass to Marcus Starke, who was able to corral the ball and get a pass to Frankie Arias. Arias beat his defender and Coleman was late to react as Arias made a soft touch over the goalkeeper’s arms for the game-winner.

The Eagles return to the pitch on Friday, Nov. 9, when they travel to Miami, Fla. to play in The Sun Conference semifinals against the winner of Florida Memorial and SCAD Savannah. KHALED SAEED/GUEST PHOTOGRAPHER

For the fourth consecutive season, the Embry-Riddle volleyball team played through the entire Sun Conference regular season without a blemish. The Eagles swept Warner on Saturday, 25-23, 25-19, 25-15, finishing the season 10-0 in conference play. ERAU hasn’t lost a regular season confer-ence match since Sept. 12, 2008; the con-secutive wins streak is now at 65 straight regular season TSC matches.

With the win, the Eagles finish the regular season at 26-4 overall and 10-0 in confer-ence, while Warner ends at 12-12 and 7-4 in league play.

The Blue and Gold opened the match with a pair of attack errors and continued to fall behind early in the first set. The Royals held a six-point advantage (14-8) before the Eagles started to come back, using a 4-0 run to pull within two points (14-12). Warner maintained the lead until a 5-0 run brought Embry-Riddle to a 22-20 lead, its first lead since the score was 4-3. After WU tied things at 23, Taylor Martin put down a kill followed by a Warner attack error, giving the Eagles a 25-23 win.

Set two saw the home team fall behind

early once again, trailing by as many as four points (10-6). The Blue and Gold finally strung together eight straight points to pull away from the Royals, 22-15. The 8-0 run included three points apiece from Martin and Adriana Vazquez. Jordan Holcomb closed out the set with a pair of kills to give ERAU a 25-19 win and a 2-0 lead in the match.

In the third set, Embry-Riddle came out strong, jumping to an 8-2 lead very quickly. Warner chipped away at the deficit, eventu-ally closing the gap to just two points (11-9), but the Eagles wouldn’t allow them any closer. A 6-0 run broke the set open at 22-12 and Martin finished off the Royals with kills on two of the final three points as the Blue and Gold took the final set, 25-15, sweeping their fifth consecutive match and 15th of the season.

Holcomb led all players with 14 kills (.438 hitting percentage) to go along with eight digs. Martin collected 12 kills and eight digs, while Emily Jacobson and Morgan Shattuck chipped in with eight and six kills, respec-tively. Shattuck also registered a match-high four blocks. Hannah Gray picked up a match-leading 23 digs and Adriana Vazquez led all players with 39 assists.

Kimberlee Thomas led the Royals with nine kills and Tiffani Pate added eight kills (.467 hitting percentage). Chloe Boehm (17 assists) and Allison Kennedy (16 assists) ran the offense while Jarrah Garner collected a team-leading 10 digs.

The Eagles have clinched the No. 1 seed in The Sun Conference Tournament, earn-ing a bye in the quarterfinal round. Embry-Riddle will host the semifinals and finals next weekend, beginning with a Friday match against the winner of the Warner-Southeastern quarterfinal match.

Cloud Atlas is an amazing narrative from the masterminds behind The Matrix. The Wachowski brothers use the cre-ativity and ingeniousness they’re known for to pose the question of how far the repercussions of your actions today will reverberate through time.

The film showed six critical people, and the effect their lives had on each

other as a philosophical narrative and how actions can have far-reaching con-sequences into the future. Each action in Cloud Atlas begets a new future; the film showed how the future could be made worse or better depending on the actions of a few individuals. The movie was a thought provoking timepiece, but did not cause any mental strain while watching it; that was taken care of by the timeline.

The film showed the audience just enough of each story to engage their curiosity before dabbling into the next story in the middle of a cliffhanger. Each story, although at times difficult to grasp, connects to a future reality that is shaped by the actions centuries or decades before it. The discontinuities in the story flow of Cloud Atlas made the film’s connec-tions difficult to understand, but as more stories were told the interconnectedness of the stories became more apparent in the plot.

Cloud Atlas featured several big actors who drove the ‘everything-is-connected’ theme of the film by each actor taking on multiple roles in the film. Each support-ing actor in Cloud Atlas took on several roles spread through different time peri-ods in the film, which promoted the idea that each story affected the next. Through the several roles the actors played the overall story of the film developed; as

each actor’s characters progressed, so did the story.

Through the multi-character acting of each actor and precise story jumps Cloud Atlas delivered a thought provok-

ing thesis that astounded audiences and critics alike; the film’s evocative and revolutionary depiction of a philosophi-cal idea has made Cloud Atlas worthy of 4.5 airplanes out of 5.

Paranormal Activity 4 fails to impress

Not too much can be said about Paranormal Activity 4 that has not already been said about the first three movies. The largest stand-out from the rest of the series was the director’s attempt to bring a new dynamic to the plot by adding out-side characters. Alex, played by Kathryn Newton (Bad Teacher), is a young teen-age girl that finds herself entangled in the mess that apparently will not go away.

Basically, she is the only one in her family that notices how weird things keep happening when the creepy neigh-bor boy comes over to play with her younger brother. Alex offered a fresh start to the franchise and things might have picked up, but Paranormal fell into

the same repetitive track that all the other movies did. The same tired sequence of events and predictable “scare tactics” for the first 90 (out of 95) minutes made for an altogether poor movie.

However, the most abhorrent part of this film is that there is a guaranteed sequel, and maybe even more after that. The directors decided to simply not advance the story in the least. The plot of the demon baby, presented in the first three movies, was still the main focus, but the reasoning behind the child is still unknown. Katie, played by Katie Featherston (Paranormal Activity 1, 2, 3), returned again, and to not give out too much information, did the exact same thing she did in the first three films.

When looking at the components of the movie, it was shot by the same for-mula as the rest. The viewer watches the majority of the movie through a series of strategically placed cameras. This time the cameras were webcams on laptops placed around the house.

There are some interesting special effects that come into play, but the majority of the movie could be recre-ated with a handful of Mac laptops and a gaggle of students. Lastly and most importantly,

Paranormal Activity 4 is the kind of movie that is watched only because of the reputation for supernatural horror the Paranormal franchise holds.

Furthermore, this movie is best watched at home, as the crowd at some of the more popular theaters in the area are almost always a guaranteed annoyance.
