Many student-athletes will be graduating this se-mester with a degree that will help them transition from the sports world to the job

world.Athletes are encouraged

to graduate with a degree because a career in profes-sional sports is rare. Colle-giate baseball players have the greatest chance of going pro with 10 percent of stu-dents moving on to a profes-sional career, according to the NCAA. Student-athletes

involved in basketball, foot-ball or soccer have less than a 2 percent chance of going pro, according to the NCAA.

In the latest numbers re-leased by the NCAA, the UA had a graduation success rate of 72 percent, accord-ing to the NCAA website. !is marked the fourth con-secutive year that Razorback

student-athletes had a GSR of more than 70 percent.

!irty-three student-ath-letes, including quarterback Tyler Wilson, and former athletes received their di-ploma in December, accord-ing to the Arkansas athletics website.

Transitioning From the Field to the OfficeEditor’s Note: This story is part of the Graduate Series

which includes information for graduating students.

Ashley Swindell Sta! PhotographerFormer Razorback athlete, DJ Cooper, returned to the UA to "nish his degree in criminal justice after leaving college to join the National Football League.

An investigation has be-gun involving a student who was diagnosed with alcohol poisoning, a UA o"cial said.

A student was brought to the hospital Saturday by some of his fraternity brothers, said Scott Flanagin, director of communications for Student A#airs. !e student’s infor-mation can not be released, he said.

A$er the incident, all fra-ternity functions were sus-pended during the weekend,

Flanagin said. “Our most important

thing is that our students are OK and well,” he said.

An investigation will be done by Greek Life, the stu-dent conduct board and UAPD.

“I heard that he is OK,” Flanagin said.

In 2011, there were 31 ar-rests for liquor law violations and 282 liquor law violations that were referred for dis-ciplinary action on campus property, according to the UA Clery Report.

Possible Alcohol Poisoning

University Recreation has begun requiring online res-ervations for group %tness classes.

Many students attend group %tness classes, but

each class only has room for 50 students. A large number of students are not able to participate in group exercise classes because they %ll up quickly. To reduce waiting time, students must now re-serve a spot for the popular classes prior to the class.

As part of adopting the online reservation, students

do not have to line up for the class 30 minutes before it starts and end up not be-ing able to take the class, said Casey Fant, %tness program coordinator.

!e purpose of the online reservation is to help students manage their time for exer-

UA student group Enac-tus, formerly known as SIFE, worked with local business Painting with a Twist on a charity event for the Ameri-can Cancer Society. Enactus is a business student organiza-tion that helps local businesses and charities. !e group has several di#erent branches that lend aid to groups like Potter’s House and Let’s Can Hunger, a charity dedicated to providing canned foods to the hungry.

D e v y n G r a t h - wohl, a s e n i o r i n f o r m a -t i o n systems ma-j o r , was involved

with the organi-zation of this event.“I had heard about

this company before and thought that it was a very interesting way to raise mon-ey for charities,” Grathwohl said. “I’m glad that I could be attached to a project like this.”

!e event itself involved a step-by-step, beginner-friend-ly painting class. Participants gathered and followed simple instruction from local artists, which allowed for even the least artistic person to end up with a beautiful painting. !e event included three separate classes, each of which painted a di#erent painting and cost

$35-$40 per class. Fi$y percent of all pro%ts from the classes went to the A m e r i c a n Can-cer Society.

Along with the p aint - ing classes w a s a silent auc-

tion, from which 100 per-

cent of the pro%ts went to the charity.

Donated merchandise, which included basket-

balls autographed by Mike Anderson and Nolan Rich-

ardson and paintings donated by 40/29 News and many lo-cal artists, was auctioned o#.

Susan and Michael Jean, the owners of Painting with a Twist, said they enjoy host-ing charity events in an e#ort to give back to the commu-nity. !e store holds monthly events for charity and have worked with such groups as For Pets’ Sake, the Fayetteville Animal Shelter and Baptist Children’s Homes.

“!is is the 18th char-ity event we’ve hosted here,” said Susan Jean. “We’re based out of Mans%eld, La., and the original owners felt very strongly about support chari-ties.”

According to Painting with a Purpose’s website, they have raised thousands of dol-lars for groups such as Habitat for Humanity and Odyssey House, and are “committed to giving back to the local community, one painting at a time.”

Diversity Impact 2013 was cancelled due to inclement weather but may be resched-uled, according to housing o"cials.

“We (the o"ces of ad-missions, housing, and the center for multicultural and diversity education) canceled this week’s Diversity Impact due to the inclement weather forecast,” said Felisha Perro-din, assistant director for resi-dence education.

!e Diversity Impact event is catered to prospective freshmen. During the three-day event, students have the opportunity to meet faculty,

tour campus, learn about scholarships and talk to cur-rent students. Participants also get to attend Friday Night Live.

A free ACT test is given the second day. According to the admissions website, “ACT scores from Diversity Impact can only be used for Univer-sity of Arkansas admission, placement, and scholarship purposes and will not be pro-vided to other institutions.”

To participate in Diversity Impact 2013, all interested had to %ll out a form and complete an essay. !e topic this year was, “Identify an experience that you have had during your high school years that has inspired you or devel-oped your goals in some way. Discuss how you can use what

you have learned from this speci%c experience to make a di#erence in the world.”

Parents are allowed to drive their children to the event, but they are not al-lowed to stay on campus. Another option given is free transportation from several cities in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas.

!e goal of Diversity Im-pact event is to inform par-ticipants about the positives that could come out of being a Razorback. By putting stu-dents in on-campus housing, they’re able to truly feel what it would be like to be a stu-dent at the UA.

Rescheduling will only oc-cur if rooms are available for the participants, Perrodin said.

Diversity Impact Canceled Due to Inclement Weather

“In college, scholarships take care of you, similar to mom and dad in high school,” said DJ Cooper, former Ra-zorback football player. “It’s important for student-athletes to understand that when football, or whatever sport they play, is done, the lifestyle they’re used to living is going to change.”

C o o p e r went to the N a t i o n a l F o o t b a l l League before graduating and played in the XFL and arena football before retiring because of an injury. Cooper is back at the UA %nishing his degree in criminal justice while working at Pick-It Con-struction.

“G r a d u -ation solidi-%es that you can take care of yourself when you leave col-lege,” he said. “In most companies , if you don’t graduate, you’re just like anyone coming in o# the street. Working a $12-an-hour job, that’s the last thing a student-athlete should go through.”

Although student-athletes may have had limited time to participate in internships, jobs or other school clubs, athletes can market transfer-able skills they have learned on the %eld to the career world.

In a list compiled by Fres-no State University, transfer-able skills can include the ability to be criticized, being goal-oriented and mentally tough, dealing with pressure, understanding time manage-

ment, and being coachable.“At the end of the day, it all

comes down to: Am I coach-able?” Cooper said. “Athletics is so powerful for kids being able to be coached and being

able to act out what they’ve been taught. !at relates to the job world.”

Cooper said he thinks the most valuable skills for any student-athlete are social skills. Whether going pro or going into the workforce, it

is important to be able to sell yourself and your abilities, he said.

For students who are con-sidering a pro-fessional sports career, Cooper still stressed

having a professional mind-set. Be a student of sports, he said.

College o#ers the oppor-tunity for students to be well-rounded and learn about a variety of di#erent subjects,

he said. He en-couraged stu-dents to have at least some knowledge in di#erent areas, which would allow them to succeed in %elds outside of their majors.

“I think college has given me all the essentials I need to succeed in the job world,” Cooper said. “Finish what you started. !at’s what the workplace is all about.”

cising.“We don’t want students to

waste time just waiting for the group exercise classes,” Fant said. “!e online reservation will help that students know whether they are able to at-tend the class or not by mak-ing the online reservation.”

University Recreation of-%cials hope that this pro-cess helps students enjoy the classes more and reduces the occurrence of participants who came for the classes hav-ing to return.

Some students are con-fused about the online reser-vation.

“I thought it would be good if we could make a res-ervation for a popular class, but now I am confused about the online reservation,” said Juhyun Candace Park, UA student. “I have not reserved for classes online before, so I am quite worried about I could not make it.”

Other students agree with the reasons behind the new reservation process.

“I think online reservation is a good idea,” said Shirley Xie, UA student. “When I came to HPER for the group %tness class and could not get in because the class is full, I was frustrated. I made my plan to work out a certain day, but if I cannot make it, that makes me irritated.”

Punch Cards Provided by University Recreation as Incentive for Exercising

University Recreation provides punch cards for students that can be %lled up by attending 20 group exer-cise classes throughout the spring semester.

At the end of the semes-

ter, the names of those who made it to all of the 20 group exercise classes will go in a drawing for free massages, personal training sessions and small group training passes.

Many students go to a certain class they are fond of and do not get to try other group exercise classes.

!e punch card will not only encourage students to

try di#erent exercise group classes, but also will help in-structors to %gure out how to attract students.

“!ere are many di#er-ent group exercise classes at HPER,” said Casey Fant, %t-ness programs coordinator. “!e purpose of the punch card is to encourage stu-dents to take diverse classes by o#ering them to have a little prize at the end of the semester.”

!e way the system works

is that a$er their group exer-cise classes, students can go to the front desk and a get stamp for the class.

“!e punch card is inter-esting,” said Iesha Williams, UA student. “I usually went to only yoga class at HPER, but a$er I heard of the punch card, I want to chal-lenge myself to try all other classes and get free massages at the end.”

Students Punch For Perks at the HPER

A renowned land-scape architect visited the UA Monday to deliver a lecture entitled, “Narra-tives of Ecology: Recent Work of Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Ar-chitects.” !omas Woltz was brought as a guest speaker by the Fay Jones School of Architecture.

Woltz attended the University of Virginia and now has master’s de-grees in both architecture and landscape architec-ture. Since graduation, he has worked at Univer-sity of Virginia part time, teaching site planning and land analysis. Woltz worked for %ve years in Venice, Italy, prior to at-tending graduate school, where he developed an interest in architectural cra$, according to the Municipal Art Society of New York’s website.

Beginning in 1997, Woltz began working at the architecture %rm Warren Byrd; by 2004, he had became a partner and the company had changed its name to Nel-son Byrd Woltz.

Woltz has been at the head of many architec-ture projects, including the Peggy Guggenheim Sculpture Garden in Venice, Italy; the Na-tional Arboretum of New Zealand; and Ford Rouge Center in Dearborn, Mich. He currently leads projects at Google Cor-porate Headquarters in California and Hudson Yards in Manhattan, ac-cording to Nelson Byrd Woltz’s company website.

!e speech delivered by Woltz dealt with using ecology within landscape architecture. !roughout

the lecture, Woltz showed many of his own and his company’s works that have dealt with or have used the natural world within them. Gardens, storm drains and farming projects were all topics of discussion.

“Arti%ciality is impor-tant. We’re not pretend-ing that it’s natural,” Woltz said about the looks that he gives his projects. “It’s preformative, not solely aesthetics.”

Woltz said he be-lieves that landscape ar-chitecture should blend scienti%c data with ar-chitectural designs and that when planning out a project one should think at the scale of the big-gest natural system that one can wrap their arms around. As an example of this, he discussed how for a garden design project at the University of Virginia he used regional plants from all over the state.

“I wanted students to feel like they have walked through the whole state just by walking through this path,” Woltz said. “We were doing a small project, but we were able to incorporate the entire state.”

A sense of narrative is also given to all of Woltz’s works. Local and general culture, along with simple ideas like mounts, theaters and groves, are used and give a greater sense of eco-logical importance and personal values to any design.

“!ere’s a lot of ab-straction,” Woltz said. “It’s important to us that we have signi%cance be-hind all of our design choices.”

Students Take Education For Granted

“If our colleges and univer-sities do not breed men who riot, who rebel, who attack life with all the youthful vim and vigor, then there is something wrong with our colleges,” said William Allen White, an American newspaper edi-tor, writer and leader of the Progressive movement in the !rst half of the 20th century. “"e more riots that come on college campuses, the better world for tomorrow.”

"ough he might sound radical, he makes a valid point that applies to today. Students are the future, but we o#en seem to accept the problems of the world as issues we can-not, or are unwilling to try to change.

"is past year, the UA has been particularly quiet as far as protests and move-ments go. It’s a possibility big controversial issues have not been raised, but even the Oc-

cupy Wall Street protesters on Dickson in 2011 were very few in number. Compared to the 10,000 students in London who protested in 2012 against tripling tuition fees and the lack of employment prospects for future graduates, the Oc-cupy Wall Street movement in Fayetteville, Ark., seems like nothing.

Location, population and knowledge could make the di$erence. Many students seem unconcerned with poli-tics feel like they can’t make a di$erence because the nation’s eyes don’t rest on Fayetteville. "is isn’t London. Also, stu-dents in Arkansas are not cur-rently worried about tripling tuition fees or issues that im-mediately a$ect us. So maybe no one currently feels the need to protest at all.

But if something big did arise, would we be willing to change? "ere are almost 25,000 students at the UA. If we all decided to stand to-gether, we would be enough to make the di$erence on any

issue. We have our own news-paper, television station and radio station to spread the news. Communication has never been easier.

If important topics that need to be changed arose, or if there are topics that do ex-ist but we are not aware of, we don’t need to let obstacles such as location, communica-tion or population a$ect our actions. We could make a dif-ference.

Of course, not every issue has to be world-changing. If there are no national issues at the moment, students could look at local or college prob-lems they think need to be !xed. Not all changes have to be made through the ASG. "ough student organiza-tions may help, students can still !x problems themselves. Isn’t that what William Allen White says colleges are for? Instead of complaining about campus issues to each other, there are ways to get them !xed. People in charge may not know there is a problem

unless they are told directly. "ey may not care unless they are told to care.

But every issue needs to be addressed with tact. "e UA doesn’t need mindless riots. Protests or statements should be handled with knowledge and care. Otherwise, they can become violent, dangerous or fodder for negative media at-tention.

“"ere’s a time and place,” said Deryk Hibbard, a senior kinesiology P-12 coaching major. “If there’s a protest for an issue that needs to be ad-dressed and order is main-tained, then it’s a positive move towards change. But if it becomes a riot that starts to get dangerous for an unim-portant topic, then that does no good for anyone. I think students need to !x what they think is wrong, but I think they need to be educated and level-headed about it.”

Students Need to Use !eir Voice

I have a few friends on Face-book I follow more closely than others. I know their posts are more relevant to my life. One of these friends recently shared a video from the Library of Most Controversial Files. It was a beautiful, high-de!nition video of Midway Island.

"e island is over 1,200 miles from the nearest main-land continent. It rests in the North Paci!c, just north of the Hawaiian islands.

"e island is home to about 3 million birds, including a massive population of alba-trosses, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Midway, at one point, was used by the United States Navy, but 20 years ago, the base be-gan transitioning to a necessary wildlife conservation e$ort.

You see, the birds, turtles and dolphins that reside around the blue lagoons of Midway are dying. Everything we drop in rivers and the ocean, even just gum wrappers and the caps o$ our plastic water bottles are be-ing found in the stomachs of these animals. Pollutants are %oating from more than 2,000 miles away, according to an ar-ticle on CNN.com.

"e same article wrote the bright plastic lighters and bottle caps attract the animals’ atten-tions, so it only makes sense for the animal to try to eat it. Parent birds feed lighters and even yel-low dishwashing gloves to their babies, who get sick and die, ac-cording to CNN.com.

"e video I watched on Face-book introduced Midway as this untouched, pristine, beau-tiful, isolated island, a paradise for birds and ocean-dwelling animals. "en, the video shi#s to baby chicks, with just fuzz, choking. It shows these babies gasping for their last breaths. It shows the parents lying dead, and the babies abandoned.

What does this teach us? Our environmental reach is much further than we o#en fathom. An isolated ecosystem is in chaos because 2,000 miles away, we neglect to throw away our gum wrapper.

In Arkansas, streams, rivers, sewers and lakes have runo$ into both the Bu$alo and the Arkansas Rivers. "e Arkansas River links to the Mississippi, %oating out the Gulf of Mexi-co. Are you responsible for the death of !sh and birds eating the pollution and trash wander-ing down these local streams? Do you know you personally have an environmental impact?

It’s a shame, but it seems like hope to create a perfectly environmentally healthy planet has vanished. According to the Plastic Pollution Coalition, the technical and economic ability to clean all, or even most, of the trash from the oceans is “not feasible.” If boats and owners were all up to the task, remov-ing the trace plastics would mean removing plankton, the base of the food chain and the species that generates half the world’s oxygen we breathe, ac-cording to the Plastic Pollution Coalition.

Despite the lost hope at a perfect world, the students at the UA can do more to preserve our natural state. We can always strive to be cleaner, to be more energy e&cient and to be more conscious of our environmental impact.

It starts small. Rather than “accidentally” cleaning out your pockets by turning them inside out, letting lint and wrappers drop out onto the ground, stand over a trash can. Recycle water bottles, or reuse plastic water bottles. "at way, the caps of those bottles don’t get lost or roll away into some poor bird’s beak. Pay attention to the peo-ple around you.

I will recommend all of you watch the trailer of Midway at midway!lm.com. To see the vast human impact on such an isolated island makes me in-credibly self-conscious about my impact here in Fayetteville. We have less than three months in school. Let’s clean up our act by taking responsibility for our actions.

Check Your Impact 2,000 Miles Away

College used to be known as the time you earn a degree. Today, college is the time to live it up before becoming an adult. While many believe par-tying, Greek life and organiza-tions are top priority, they are missing the main point of go-ing to college.

Many students are fortu-nate enough to not have to pay for college. I’m lucky enough to say my parents are paying for my tuition. Many students would see this as an easy way out. I see this as initiative to work harder.

One thing students are not realizing is tuition is not cheap. "e more hours you take, the more expensive it be-comes. Since some of us have no !nancial burdens to pay, we don’t comprehend the impor-tance of going to class.

Many professors post Pow-erPoints on Blackboard or have online notes. Students see this as an opportunity to sleep in and only go to class on test days.

I learned this the hard way. One semester I only went to classes on certain days. While I thought this approach would work, my grades su$ered dra-matically. I turned this habit around and started going to class every single day no mat-ter how useless it seemed, and immediately my GPA began to rise.

My parents always told me “grades come !rst and fore-most above anything else.” "is is a lesson all students should learn.

Students think they will

earn a degree whether they study or not. "ey may have the degree, but the quality isn’t there if they are %aking on classes and doing the bare minimum work. Once they begin a career, they may deeply regret not truly learning about what they got into.

It seems a college degree used to take only four years. However, with the amount of students failing classes, drop-ping a class because they !nd it too challenging or cruising by with the least amount of hours required, degrees are taking two to three more years than expected, causing thousands of dollars in !nancial burdens.

A study from the Harvard Graduate School of Education showed 56 percent of college students complete a four-year degree in six years and only 29 percent who start two-year de-grees !nish them within three years.

Many college students put class on a lower priority level. Extracurricular activities and student organizations come !rst in daily life.

“Balancing work and school is de!nitely a skill,” said Chelsea Hawthorn, UATV producer. “Sometimes it’s hard to go to class when I have a lot going on at work.”

Highly involved students feel pressure to put work be-fore school. Holding a high position at an organization will help immensely in getting internships and jobs in the fu-ture. "erefore, they see work as a better asset than a high GPA.

Many students see their GPA as unnecessary due to fa-mous success stories or people who say a degree isn’t neces-

sary to succeed. “Our nation should be a

ladder of opportunity for tal-ent, regardless of background,” wrote Paul Schmitz, CEO of Public Allies, on CNN. “A col-lege degree can be an impor-tant gateway to employment, a career and a better standard of living. But a college degree does not equate to someone’s level of intelligence or talent.”

Schmitz is not negating the importance of a college edu-cation. He is simply stating it is not everything. However, if a college student is looking to make a boatload of money, “studies demonstrate clearly that without a college degree, you will likely earn less, be more liable to be unemployed and have fewer opportuni-ties for career advancement,” Schmitz wrote on CNN.

If students have the op-portunity to attend a univer-sity free of !nancial burden or willing to take out student loans, they must seize the op-portunity for all that it is. Col-lege is a time to learn and move forward in life. It is not some-thing that should be taken for granted.

Various graduates have fed me the same line, “College is going to be the best four years of your life. Enjoy it while you can.” Although it is important to relax and unwind on the weekends, college students have taken it to a whole new level and see no reason to stop, even if it means throwing their grades and class attendance under the bus.

“We thought if we could demonstrate to students that their performance deteriorat-ed under alcohol, they would be convinced that their alco-

hol consumption has put them at risk,” Psychologist E. Scott Geller, director of the Center for Applied Behavior Systems at Virginia Tech, said to USA Today. “Knowing that one is impaired, physically and even emotionally, did not seem to reduce alcohol consumption.”

Students know the risks of drinking in relation to their grades and coursework, yet they don’t seem to care. I re-cently knew of a friend who was arrested for public intoxi-cation. Her close friends bailed her out, and the shock caused them to take it easy the rest of the night. However, the very next weekend, they were back out on the town.

No matter what crazy events take place, how bad the next morning hangover is or the amount of regret from the night before, college students never seem to ease away from the party scene.

Attending a university is an incredible opportunity that most college students see as the next step to a predictable life. Of course, it’s important to enjoy the short time we have in college; however, it should not be taken for granted. It is a time to learn and challenge ourselves to see what we are capable of.

“I believed in studying just because I knew education was a privilege,” musician Wynton Marsalis once said.

So, next time you want to take an extra 30-minute nap and skip class, think about that.

With the dawn of Internet music streaming and digital downloads, music has been experiencing a boom in the num-ber of what some may call “underground” or “indie” bands in today’s music. Most ra-dio stations, which used to serve as a means to promoting the next new single from a band or the next big band, have dwindled in popularity among music seekers.

Now, music is spread through music services such as Pandora or Spotify radio, Youtube recommendations, Pitchfork Me-dia, possibly hundreds more websites and, of course, word of mouth. Fans are !nding their music in newer, more diverse ways, and there is a much higher demand for new bands to become personal favorites.

"ese are all bands with less than 50,000 likes by Facebook users. A popular band, for example, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, has 21,189,984 likes. A mid-level popular band, such as Ray Lamontagne, has 660,566 likes.

Really, anything below 50,000 could be considered a lesser-known, underground or small-time band. "ese four all have such likeable sounds that, if given more ex-posure, they could be much more popular. At the very least, they each show a lot of potential to grow into great bands.

Dan Mangan (~33k likes)Sounds like: A dude version of Regina

Spektor that rocks out. Mangan’s songwrit-ing is similar in tone and structure, but dif-ferent in his own way, and much less piano emphasis. It’s so# eclectic pop music that occasionally gets heavy and moody.

Why he’s good: He’s an impressive song-writer, and his gravelly voice can really hook you in when some of his most sweep-ing melodic moments hit their apex in his albums. Listening to his music, it varies so much from track to track, giving you a re-freshing and consistently interesting listen-ing experience.

Album to listen to !rst: “Oh Fortune”If you will only listen to one song, lis-

ten to this one: “Post-War Blues”

Adam Arcuragi (~5k likes)Sounds like: If City and Colour got a

deeper, aggressive sound, or if Mumford and Sons mixed up their song structures. So alternative country mixed with acoustic “indie band” in$uences.

Why he’s good: Very dynamic and catchy folk/acoustic music. Arcuragi’s voice is downright gru% and yet, charm-ing. He has power in his voice. He has a lot of variance in his songwriting, and he can do anything from his genre bending “death gospel” he’s known for, to his folk pop an-thems. His music continues to surprise with each album.

Album to listen to !rst: “Like a !re that consumes all before it …”

If you will only listen to one song, lis-ten to this one: “Oh I See”

J Roddy Walston And !e Business (~14k likes)

Sounds like: Kings of Leon in their early stages plus a lot of Southern and classic rock in$uences.

Why they’re good: Solid rock ‘n’ roll, and thumping piano ri%s. Essentially, they sound like your favorite local rock band. "ey’ve got it all, cool punchy ri%s and catchy vocals. Except these guys have their own unique-ness to them that sets them apart from all the other bar rock bands. "ey have a presence to their music that must be heard to under-stand. "ey take rock ‘n’ roll seriously.

Album to listen to !rst: “J Roddy Walston and the Business”

If you will only listen to one song, listen to this one: “I Don’t Wanna Hear It”

Roadkill Ghost Choir (~3k likes)Sounds like: If My Morning Jacket (folk-

rock) and Fleet Foxes (acoustic folk) com-bined into one band. Imagine an alternative rock band that features a banjo as a primary instrument, and you wouldn’t be far o%.

Why they’re good: "e band seems to have a great understanding of real folk rock, the type of sound Neil Young and My Morning Jacket have pursued. "ey show a lot of potential for the future, considering the folk revival going on. "ey don’t have a full album yet, but they’re already making appearances at summer music festivals.

Album to listen to !rst: "eir EP (and only album as of yet), “Quiet Light”

If you will only listen to one song, listen to this one: “Beggar’s Guild”

“Making Your Journey Worthwhile”

Erika Kohler, a graduate student in the Space and Planetary Science Program at the University of Arkan-sas, received a grant to pursue research at NASA God-dard Space Flight Center. Her research will combine her passion for storm chasing with her interest in astronomy.

Kohler’s research centers on determining more in-formation about clouds that form in the atmospheres of Hot Jupiters, planets around the size of Jupiter that are much hotter than Jupiter due to a close proximity to the star that they orbit. Because of the higher temperature of these planets, their atmospheres are very di%erent than Jupiter’s — and anything else in our solar system — de-spite their similar sizes.

"e data she obtains will give NASA information about the atmospheres on planets that lie far beyond our current range of space travel. Previously, information about Hot Jupiters came only from models, but Kohler’s experiments may either prove or disprove current theo-ries about the atmospheres through actual experiments.

While her focal point seems eccentric, Kohler’s back-ground makes her perfectly suited to the task. She has a background in both meteorology and astronomy. In 2010, she got her undergraduate degree, a B.S. in meteo-rology with minors in math and astronomy, at the Uni-versity of Oklahoma, which, in 2012, housed the largest undergraduate meteorology program in the country. Her interest in both meteorology and astronomy go all the way back to middle school, however, when she began thinking about deciding between the two !elds as career options.

When Kohler started looking at colleges and which degree she wanted, a local meteorologist directed her to some websites about what you can do in the !eld of meteorology. One of the websites had the word “astro-meteorology.”

“"at was my eureka moment,” Kohler said. “Astro-meteorology,” a term now known as the study of plan-etary atmospheres, is essentially the same topic Kohler will explore at NASA.

A#er graduating from the University of Oklahoma, Kohler said she ended up at Arkansas because they gave her a greater leniency to study what she wanted to study — planetary atmospheres.

Her activities both on and o% of campus are closely related to the work she will be doing at NASA. She is president of Space Hogs, an RSO based on science out-reach; vice president of Phi Sigma Rho, a science and en-gineering sorority; an astronomy lab instructor; and in-volved in teaching science classes for the Upward Bound program during the summer.

If you want to see Kohler excited about a topic, start talking about storms. While most people would avoid tornados, Kohler says she has o#en gone out in a car, usually during the spring, to track funnel clouds as they form.

Kohler said she decided to research silicate clouds on Hot Jupiters because the topic “sounded interesting, and nobody’s done it before; it was a puzzle.”

“I’m getting to study another planet,” she said, “and I get to live my dream: working at NASA.” But while she has long dreamed of working at NASA and getting the chance to work with the scientists she cites in her papers, her ultimate goal is to “eventually work (her) way back through academia, to help encourage the next genera-tion to go into science.”

“Science tends to have a bad rap,” Kohler said. “Peo-ple tend to leave it because it’s not easy money. It’s not easy to stay in. I want to encourage people, if they are interested in it, to stick with it, to do what you enjoy do-ing … It’s worth it personally to do what you want to do.”

For students who hope to follow a similar path, Kohler said that while support from her family helped, she also had personal ambition.

“If you want it, you will !nd a way to get it,” she said. “You have to have the willingness to work hard at some-thing because that’s what you dream of. It’s your willing-ness to do whatever it takes to reach your goals.”

For a few days at the end of February, the NFL Combine brings the football world to-gether once again. Folks can’t seem to get enough football.

Every year some hopeful

player will emerge and capture the eyes of the nation with their Combine performance. !is year, several Arkansas players made the trip to display their talents.

Former Razorbacks Chris Gragg, Cobi Hamilton, Alvin Bailey, Knile Davis and Tyler Wilson made the trip to India-napolis for the event. Davis ran a 4.37 40 yard dash and did 31 reps on the bench press, each of which is good for second best among running backs.

Hamilton ran a 4.56 40 and managed only 11 reps on the bench press.

Does the NFL Combine ultimately prove as the major factor on where these guys are dra"ed?

Many coaches and general managers tend to put more stock into their college #lm and pro-day’s than the combine, but it still is an important #rst step to begin some relationships that could get these guys where they want to be.

ESPN’s Chris Mortenson said Sunday morning that the Combine is more of a tool to #nd players who aren’t already being talked about. Many people already know so much about the publicized players, but now individuals are able to explode into the conversation thanks to the increased expo-sure the Combine now pos-sesses.

Arkansas hasn’t always been a factory to produce top

dra" picks, but the increased amount of players participating this year is good for the pro-gram. Recruits can now begin to look at Arkansas as a place that can not only further their education, but allow them a good shot to play professional football.

New head coach Bret Bielema has a very good track record of getting players to that next level in their life.

Another thing the Combine has added this year will also help the process. !e new Play-er Assessment Tool (PAT) has been designed to give a fair and sound evaluation of the mental aspect players will need to have to succeed at the NFL level.

Along with the Wonderlic

test, this could be a very impor-tant aspect in evaluating players that want to become a member of the NFL.

Arkansas players should also be prepared for this new testing system. !ese players have to be very accountable and mentally tough to survive in the rugged Southeastern Confer-ence, more speci#cally the SEC West. Players that are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to impress an NFL team will be more than ready to deal with the process surrounding it.

!e Combine allows Hog fans, along with people all across the nation, to see the hard work all these players continue to put in long a"er the season ends. It has become

a circus in the way players are evaluated, covered and dis-cussed before being dra"ed.

Arkansas fans can be proud of the fact that these guys are being invited to these events, as it could mark the beginning of more in the future. Programs must start building from some-where. Arkansas has struggled to get over the middle of the pack hump in the SEC, and Bielema will try to break that seal and give the Hogs the blue-print to become a feared pro-gram.

COMMENTARY

BASEBALL

!e Razorback baseball team went 5-0 last week and one standout pitcher earned the #rst weekly honors of the sea-son for the Hogs.

Freshman le"-handed pitcher Colin Poche was named the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week for his performances against New Or-leans and Evansville, during which he went 1-0 with seven strikeouts in 7.1 innings.

Poche is the #rst Razorback to be named the SEC Freshman of the Week since right-handed

pitcher Barrett Astin earned the honor in May 2011.

!e Flower Mound, Texas, native made his collegiate debut with a start in game one of the doubleheader against the Pri-vateers. He earned the victory a"er tossing #ve scoreless in-nings, allowing only one hit and striking out six batters.

!e only hit he allowed came with two outs in the #"h inning.

With the tying run on base in the #nal game against Evans-ville, head coach Dave Van Horn brought in Poche, who got the batter to line out to sec-ond to end the inning.

Poche pitched 2.1 innings against the Purple Aces, allowed only one hit and did not allow a run, to hold his ERA at 0.00.

!e Razorbacks are back in action !ursday in Surprise, Ariz., where they will take on No. 25 Arizona State as part of the Coca-Cola Classic.

!e Hogs will face Arizona State twice, !ursday and Satur-day, and will also take on Gon-zaga Friday and Paci#c Sunday.

TENNIS

A"er a day of even play, the Arkansas men’s tennis team pulled out a win in a match that came down to the #nal set.

A"er dropping the #rst set, sophomore Victor Ho-ang fought hard to make a comeback, clinching the Ra-zorback’s 4-3 win over Pur-due.

Hoang came back to beat Aaron Dujovne, 3-6, 7-6, 7-5, saving six match points to clinch the No. 52 Hogs’ win over No. 71 Purdue at the Schwartz Tennis Center.

“He really did pull o$ an incredible win today to clinch the match for us,” head coach Robert Cox said.

In the second set, the two were tied at six and went to a tiebreaker where Dujovne had a match point at 6-4 when the game turned on a single point.

Dujovne called a ball out that was challenged by Ho-ang, and the line judge over-

ruled Dujovne.!e overrule was charged

as a game penalty to Dujo-vne causing him to lose the tiebreaker and the set.

Hoang then edged the Purdue junior in the third set, 7-5, to clinch the win for

the Razorbacks.!e win is the Razor-

backs’ third straight and im-proves their record to 11-3 while the Boilermakers lost their third match of the last #ve, dropping their record to 9-3.

Starting the match was doubles play, and like the rest of the match, it was extreme-ly competitive and went back and forth in every set.

TRACK & FIELD

!e Razorback men’s and women’s track and #eld teams added yet another Southeast-ern Conference indoor title to each of the programs over the weekend.

!e top-ranked men’s team

took #rst place with a score of 152.5 points, more than 30 points higher than the score of second-place #nisher Florida, and more than 60 points over Texas A&M’s third-place score.

Arkansas earned three event titles in the competition: the distance-medley relay with Anthony Lieghio, Nathanael Franks, Cameron Efurd and

Patrick Rono, Andrew Irwin in the pole vault and the triple jump, won by Tarik Batchelor.

“To come down on the #nal day and compete like we did in the DMR, and with Andrew Irwin in the pole vault and Tarik Batchelor in the triple jump and the way we com-peted across the board, really impressed me and hopefully

we can carry this forward into the National Championships,” men’s head coach Chris Buck-nam said.

Irwin’s pole vault set a school record with a #nal clearance of 5.60m/18-4.5, which also leads the NCAA. Likewise, Batchelor took con-trol of the NCAA leaderboards with his event win.

!e No. 3 Arkansas wom-en’s team earned its #rst title since 2003 with 114.5 points, just #ve over LSU’s second-place #nish. Texas A&M pulled in at third with 88 points.

!e Razorbacks managed to win their own three event ti-tles, featuring Makeba Alcide’s collegiate record-setting pen-tathlon performance, Regina

George in a 400-meter victory and a win in the 4x400 relay by Chrishuna Williams, Sparkle McKnight, Gwendolyn Flow-ers and George.

!e 4x400 was the last event of the weekend, and the Razorbacks needed a win to improve on their one-point lead over LSU. !e relay team ran a time of 3 minutes and 29.60 seconds, the only team in school history to ever run a below-3:30 4x400.

!e relay time is also the No. 1 time in the NCAA, giv-ing the Razorbacks some-thing to look forward to in the NCAA tournament.

!at was not the only re-cord-breaking time the wom-en’s team posted. George ran the 400 in 51.40 to lead the NCAA and lower the school record.

“It came down to the last event, which is perfect for us,” women’s head coach Lance Harter said. “We knew it was going to be a four-team battle. We just didn’t know what order it was going to be. We kept the people in the stands and kept the meet exciting when it came down to the last event.”

!e wins on the weekend set Arkansas up in both men’s and women’s competition to be teams that all eyes are upon in the upcoming NCAA Champi-onships.

However, the Hogs must #rst focus on the Arkansas Fi-nal Quali#er that takes place March 1. !e NCAA Cham-pionships will be held in Fay-etteville this year March 8 and 9 at the Randal Tyson Track Center.

CLINCH continued from page 7freshman Santiago Munoz outlasted Pawel Poziomski and Mark Kovacs, 8-6.

!e Boilermaker pair was up 6-3 in the match before Fess and Munoz were able to get #ve straight wins.

!en seniors Mike Ward and Gregoire Lehmann clinched the doubles point, beating the Boilermaker’s duo of Krisztian Krocsko and Szy-mon Tatarczyk, 8-7.

!e third match between Arkansas’ duo of Mike Nott and Manfred Jeske and Diego Acosta and Dujovne for Pur-due was also in a tiebreaker when the game was halted because the doubles point had been decided.

!e singles play was just as close as the doubles play. Ward and Lehmann both lost in straight sets to Evan Hawkins and Tatarczyk, re-spectively.

!e two losses gave Pur-due a 2-1 lead before the

Razorbacks came storming back.

Nott responded with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Acosta to tie the match, while Jeske gave the Hogs the lead with a three-set, 6-4, 0-6, 6-3 win over Kovacs.

Hoang’s match-clinching win came a"er to give the Hogs a 4-2 lead.

In the last match of the day, Fess lost the longest match of the day, 6-7, 7-6, 6-7 to Krocsko.

A"er the #nal match, and nearly four hours and 45 minutes of tennis, the Hogs escaped West Lafayette, Ind., with the win.

“I am so proud of the guys for #ghting hard. It is always di%cult to win on the road,” Cox said.

Next for the Hogs is a pair of Southeastern Conference matches away from home against Kentucky Friday and Vanderbilt Sunday.
