Governor Mike Beebe signed a bill Friday allowing faculty and sta! at Arkansas colleges and universities to

carry concealed handguns.Every campus is allowed

to opt out of the measure or put a ban in place. "e bill will not go into e!ect until 90 days a#er the Legisla-ture adjourns, which will be sometime either in March or April. "is gives each school

enough time to address their concerns with the bill.

By signing this bill, Ar-kansas joins 28 other states that allow a form of con-cealed carry on campuses. Many other states, including Oklahoma and Texas, are considering similar bills.

Each school has a lot of $exibility with this piece of legislation. "e UA can de-cide which campuses con-cealed carry would be allowed on, along with what areas of campus or even speci%c

Students are cleaning up their online pro%les in an ef-fort to appease employers who may be asking for passwords.

As a way to screen poten-tial employees, some compa-nies are asking candidates for passwords for social media sites like Facebook and Twit-ter, according to the Hu&ng-ton Post. With the sluggish economy, refusal is not an op-tion for some.

“I don’t think they should be able to have your password because that’s an invasion of privacy and they may not be the most trustworthy people,” said Kara Costes, freshman pre-veterinary major. “Being able to view your Facebook pro%le is %ne, though.”

Other students agree.“I don’t think that’s right,

but I wouldn’t have a prob-lem with it because my Face-book does not have anything extremely private on it,” said Undrane Tisdale, sophomore biology major.

Some state governments, like Illinois, are imposing laws to protect the privacy rights of social-networking millenni-

“In our study we found that when people come to games, they don’t just spend money on a football ticket.

A company has devel-oped a new technology that could improve the e&ciency of solar cells by as much as 18 percent, which will ulti-mately reduce the manufac-turing costs of solar cells, said Douglas Hutchings, chief executive o&cer of Silicon Solar Solutions.

Silicon Solar Solutions is an Arkansas-based com-pany that attempts to “rein-vent” solar energy technol-ogy, Hutchings said. "e company, which is aided by the UA Research and Tech-nology Park, has submitted an application for a full pat-ent on their “hydrogenated selective emitter for N-type solar cells.”

“In lab tests, our technol-ogy increases the e&ciency of solar cells by as much 18 percent,” Hutchings said.

“Being the skeptic that I am, that number could reduce to just 15 percent when ap-plied to its full scale in the public market.”

Demand for solar tech-nology has been low in the past due to its relatively high cost when compared to the cost of electricity, Hutchings said.

“"e use of solar tech-nology comes down to its cost per watt,” Hutchings said. “Our goal is to reduce

that number so that we can compete with the tradition-al electrical industry.”

Manufacturers are seek-ing innovative methods to cut costs. "e solution is to use less materials and in-crease the power generated by the solar cells, Hutchings said.

“With our process, manufacturers would cre-ate solar cells that use far less silicon than traditional

A new research study by a UA graduate student plans to compare the muscular bene%ts of using the Shake Weight ver-sus the common dumbbell in postmenopausal women.

Isaac Cook, a health, hu-man performance and recre-ation graduate student, is a graduate assistant at the HPER in the Human Performance Lab. Cook will be conducting a research study on the mus-cular e!ects the Shake Weight has on postmenopausal wom-en. "e study involves resis-tance training with the Shake Weight and a traditional train-ing program.

When asked how the idea

for this research study came about, he explained he had done a preliminary study in the performance lab involving the Shake Weight and its ef-fects on college-age students. He now wants to use that in-formation and expand his re-search to a di!erent group of people.

“We want healthy women to come in, who have already gone through menopause and have normal hormone levels, to use for the research,” Cook said.

“"is is an e v a l u a t i v e tool to see if the Shake Weight in-creases mus-cle strength in postmeno-pausal women,”

Cook said. “I want to see if the Shake Weight actually makes a di!erence in muscle strength compared to the common dumbbell.”

Cook will be the princi-pal researcher and will be in charge of the training sessions. "e other researchers will be in charge of collecting the data throughout the study.

“A#er the study is com-plete, I would love to get the information published in a re-search journal,” Cook

said.

"e study begins Monday, March 4, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., and concludes "ursday, June 6. An event report will be sent out in the Arkansas Newswire starting Monday, and $yers will be put up in the women’s locker rooms to inform people of the research.

build-i n g s . For ex-

a m p l e , it would

be al-lowed if

the UA decided to only allow con-cealed carry on the Fayette-ville campus and in strictly educational buildings.

RIC and ASG have voted against bills to allow con-cealed carry by both students and faculty.

“I think it’s reasonable for faculty to carry concealed handguns,” said Laura Smith, a former UA student. “If they go through all that trouble to get a concealed carry permit, then they should be allowed to carry them on campus, es-

pecially if the college

set up anoth-er background

check to ensure maximum safety.”

One question being brought up on social media websites is whether this is fair to students with exten-sive %rearms training, es-pecially those in the armed forces.

“Absolutely not,” Smith said. “If they’ve toured, then the risk of PTSD is high. All it takes is the wrong thing being said, and that person will snap right back to the battle%eld. Faculty, espe-cially with extra screening, is one thing. Students are a dif-ferent beast.”

"ere are many questions to be answered before the measure is enacted. What is sure is that for the fall 2013 semester, the issue of gun control at the UA will be ad-dressed.

MEDIA continued from page 1als, according to the Hu&ng-ton Post. "e law took e!ect Jan. 1, and Illinois is only the sixth state to have such laws.

Until certain privacy laws are put in place, students are making e!orts to clean up their social media sites.

Social media experts sug-gest that students avoid post-ing anything of a religious, political or sexual nature, ac-cording to Fox Business, but judgments should be made based on the culture of the industry.

Tisdale said she would not post anything related to alcohol, money, profanity, or something that degrades race or culture.

“You shouldn’t put any-thing private on the Internet because employers could en-croach on your privacy,” Tis-dale said. “People are watch-

ing you at all times, and you don’t know who is. It could be a future employer or a con-nection, and you could lose that connection by posting simple words or simple pic-tures.”

However, Fox Business suggests against going com-

pletely MIA on social media. When 800 million people are on Facebook, a private pro%le makes it looks like there is something to hide. Sites like LinkedIn are actually encour-aged. Students on LinkedIn

have the opportunity to re-search companies and net-work with businesses before an interview.

Careers in social media are increasing in popularity, and many professionals are using social media to their advan-tage.

Firms that help people clean up their online pro%les continue to become a grow-ing industry, according to Fox Business, and there are also a number of professional blog-gers and professionals with

work-related accounts.Shannon Magsam, co-

founder of NWA Motherlode blog, was a newspaper report-er before becoming a profes-sional blogger.

Blogging is a good way to leave a digital trail of one’s abilities and to practice per-fecting a particular writing style, she said. Potential em-ployers will also be able to see a student’s personality, and others have the opportunity to recommend one’s work to employers if they view it on-line.

“Companies need some-one who can help get their message out in a professional way,” Magsam said. “Compa-nies need blogs from small businesses all the way up. People who have experience, even if it’s on their own, are going to be more employable.”

methods. "is would greatly reduce their cost in materi-als,” Hutchings said. “Fur-thermore, using our process, manufactures could increase the output of a 250-watt solar panel to 270 watts.”

Silicon Solar Solutions is commercializing a process to crystallize amorphous silicon into large grain polysilicon with unparalleled grain size and ease of processing. Com-pared to competing methods, the process has created grains 30 times larger, at less than one-half the processing tem-perature, and in minutes in-stead of tens of hours, accord-ing to the company website.

"e process is protected by %ve issued patents with three additional patents pending. Prototype solar cells have been created that demon-strate the technology on a fully sized device, according to the company website.

"e company has received aid from many outside sourc-es to fund its technological advances. In December, the National Science Founda-tion awarded the company a $150,000 small-business grant to continue its devel-opment, Hutchings said in a news release.

“Silicon Solar Solutions

will raise $60,000 worth of outside investment for the emitter to secure an addition-al $30,000 from the National Science Foundation. Hutch-ings said it hopes to receive a $750,000 Phase II grant in January 2014 to demonstrate the lab results on industrial-quality cells and start imple-

menting the technology in existing solar-cell manufac-turing lines,” according a press release.

“We are currently seeking investors and manufacturing partners to implement the technology on a large scale,” Hutchings said.

Silicon Solar Solutions is

leading a solar manufacturing initiative in Arkansas. "e re-duced labor costs and inher-ent cost advantages associ-ated with our devices means that manufacturing can be cost competitive regardless of geographical location, ac-cording to the company web-site.

Visitors to Razorback sporting events con-tributed nearly $30 million just in northwest Arkansas alone. About $2.66 million in state and local sales taxes directly bene%ted the residents of northwest Arkansas because of the money generated by the events.

“Most attendees to football games are from outside of Arkan-sas,” Deck said. “About 67 percent of people coming to the games come here from other states, and that really helps out our local business revenue.”

“You shouldn’t put anything private on the Internet because employers could encroach on your privacy.”

Undrane TisdaleSophomore Biology Major

Shama Kabani wrote “"e Zen of Social Media Market-ing” as an e-book.

How it got picked up by a traditional publisher is any-thing but traditional.

A#er tweeting about her new book, a New York literary agent sent Ms. Kabani a tweet about her interest in publish-ing it. Meanwhile, a publisher in Dallas reached out to the New York agent, who pitched the book. And two weeks later, Ms. Kabani had a signed book deal.

Without Twitter, she would have never met the agent or the publisher, she said, add-ing that the book is now in its third print edition.

“"e more you do, the luckier you get,” she said, adding that the more people engage on Twitter and other social media, the more oppor-tunities they have.

Ms. Kabani, of Dallas, is president of "e Marketing Zen Group, a full-service web marketing and public rela-tions company.

She earned a master’s de-gree in organizational com-

munication from "e Univer-sity of Texas at Austin. When she wrote her thesis on Twit-ter, it had a few thousand fol-lowers and now has 375 mil-lion users, she said. When she graduated, there was no social media industry. She couldn’t %nd a job, so she moved back in with her parents and be-came an entrepreneur, she said.

At the time she saw a lot of demand for social media at the small-business level but not in the corporate world. She built her company using social media marketing alone and helps others do the same.

Ms. Kabani was the key-note speaker "ursday at the third-annual Retail Summit, hosted by "e University of Texas at Tyler College of Business and Technology and Center for Retail Enterprises. Ms. Kabani o!ered “10 "ings You Can Do to Leverage So-cial Media Better.” "ey are:

1. Listen.“You can’t be part of the

conversation if you don’t know what is being said,” Ms. Kabani said, adding that com-panies should set up a Google alert for their company’s name to see what is being said about them and to manage their dig-ital footprint.

2. Embrace the Facebook

timeline ... and claim your Google Plus page.

She said Facebook is digi-tal real estate and should be updated o#en to keep it rel-evant. Google Plus is a pow-erful social network for many reasons, but the No. 1 reason is its parent, Google, routes 80 percent of search tra&c.

3. Digital PR.Digital public relations

is the second part of social media, and it is important to court the key in$uencers in the community, she said. "ere are always a group of people who hold sway over others’ decisions, she added.

4: Set Up Your Own Hashtag/Tweetchat.

Twitter has never been a social network. “It is a global human search engine,” she said.

5: Embrace Online Video.Ms. Kabani has used

Shama TV on YouTube to help her brand her company both locally and globally, she said.

6: Tie Everything Back to Your Website.

She said websites need to grab people. “We as consum-ers are demanding people,” she said. "ere are di!erent ways consumers get informa-tion and retailers and other businesses have to %nd ways

to reach that demand.7: Social Media Advertis-

ing.Ms. Kabani advises busi-

nesses to advertise to speci%c segments or audiences, not to everybody.

8: Create an Editorial Cal-endar.

When people go online without a game plan, they waste a lot of time and blame the website.

9: Pay More Attention to LinkedIn.

Ms. Kabani said LinkedIn is now beating Facebook be-cause it is introducing new facets. “It is the most profes-sional network of them all,” she said.

She said people need to remember they are not only building a digital footprint for their business but also for their personal brand.

10: Optimize with the Right Tools.

She said there are di!er-ent ways to make technology more e&cient for you.

“When you use technology to help achieve your goals, social media becomes your friend,” she said.

It’s a big world and social media is a little scary, Ms. Ka-bani said. But it’s always going to be evolving and there’s fun in that.

“I don’t think they should be able to have your password because

that’s an invasion of privacy and they may not be the most

trustworthy people.” Kara Costes, Freshman, Pre-Veterinary Major“Students Clean Up Social Media Accounts” Page 1

Hog Caring is not Time Sensitive

As Katy Perry once said, “You’re hot then you’re cold, you’re yes then you’re no, you’re in then you’re out, you’re up then you’re down.” I think she was talking about a man. I am talking about a woman. A rather cruel mis-tress — one known univer-sally as “Mother Nature.”

Our great mother has been unleashing some seri-ous fury on and around the UA lately. !e other day, I was standing at the bus stop feeling good about life in what was nearly 60-degree weather. !e next day, there was snow on the ground.

But, alas, weather is in-escapable, and regardless of whatever else is going on in

our lives, we can at least be assured of its consistency. I usually appreciate it for this consistency, except in the case I can barely move my hands when I get to class, where I usually need to do some writing.

And speaking of cold, we’ve had our fair share of that lately. In my experi-ence with Arkansas, the worst thing you can do is as-sume you know what’s com-ing. !is has been proven particularly relevant as of late, considering the recent “snowpocalypse” that can-celled class — in the middle of the day.

!e “You of A” has a knack for inconvenienc-ing You, especially when it comes to weather. Last week, I was seated in my 10:30 class when I noticed the snow coming down. !e excitement was building as everyone glanced to and fro, between the window and their iPhones, waiting, hop-ing, to get the slight buzz accompanied by the RazA-LERT text message telling us we could go home. Alas, it didn’t come. Perhaps not when it should have, anyway.

I made my way to the bus

station, where I stood in the snow at the mercy of the Tan bus, which does whatever it feels like, whenever it feels like it. When my bus "nally arrived, I headed back to my apartment on what seemed to be an extremely clear road.

I waited with bated breath, unsure of whether or not I would have to make the perilous trip back to campus. Class was uncertain and so was my future. As the snow continued to fall, I contin-ued to wonder, “When will my fate be decided?” Final-ly, the universe made itself known to me. My pocket vibrated, and I withdrew my cell phone to a call from the awkward "ve-digit number that could only mean one thing: RazALERT was free-ing me.

And so, I sat on my deck to re#ect on the day. I won-dered about all the kids sit-ting in the hallway outside of their 2 o’clock classes. I wondered about the huge volume of people who would be streaming out of Har-mon, clogging its arteries like a Big Mac in a big dude. I wondered about the buses, and how many more rounds

they would do. I wondered if anyone was stranded, alone, as if on an island of solidar-ity — con"ned by the very thing they had so craved — the snow.

!en, "nally, I turned my attention to the UA. Why is it that they wait to make these decisions until so late in the day? Why do they put us all in limbo? Why do they not simply check the radar and make a decision? Fur-thermore, why put us in class at 10 o’clock the next day? Ei-ther put us in class, or don’t! Do not leave us wondering where we should go. Do not leave the faculty confused as to whether or not they need to be in class, or stay at home.

Next time you aren’t sure how to handle an impending weather event, all you have to do is turn on the televi-sion. Flip to a local news channel, and check out the forecast. !en, base your de-cisions exactly on what they report. A$er all, they’re right 100 percent of the time.

Mother Nature is a Natural Nuisance

!is weekend I had a ter-rifying experience. As many of you may know, some Fay-etteville roads are simply as dark as a haunted mansion on Halloween.

It started with a late-night drive to play some basketball at a nearby elementary school. !ere’s a bicycle lane along Mission Boulevard. In order to let tra%c pass on my le$ as I slow down to turn, I move into that lane about 100 yards early.

Last week, as I started to ease into the bicycle lane, whoosh — life passed before my very eyes.

It wasn’t my life as in I was dying, but I saw the threat of prison time, court fees, police questioning, insurance rates and a dead pedestrian beside the car on the road.

As I inched into the bike lane, a dark "gure material-ized out of nowhere: black hoodie, black pants, no lights, walking in the bike lane, with a sidewalk less than 30 feet away.

On such a poorly lit seg-ment of the street, there could hardly be any blame for a driver. !is man was stroll-ing in complete darkness. He could have crept up on a fox in his out"t.

A$er nearly hitting this apparition, I began to wonder if there had been more street lighting, would I have been able to see this man more eas-ily. But it also got me think-ing, if my headlights hadn’t been on full force on the dark road, I most de"nitely would have hit this walker.

A$er that, I started paying closer attention to cars around me. If a car behind me didn’t

have the proper headlights and was deciding to make the same turn, they would hit this innocent walker at about 40 miles per hour.

Over this weekend, I have seen at least 10 cars with burnt-out headlights. In a small city like Fayetteville, with lots of dark side streets o& campus, the lack of a head-light is extremely dangerous. On the weekends, student partiers are not always the most responsible, and a dark shirt on the side of the road can #y to the middle in sec-onds. Without the maximum lighting from your car, you will hit someone, and that will change your life.

!ere were over 5,000 non-motorist deaths in 2010 nationwide, according to the National Highway Tra%c Safety Administration, an in-crease in almost 200 from the year before. Let’s keep these deaths out of Fayetteville.

While new lighting for cars boasts about seeing farther, if your lights are out or a pedes-trian is negligent, at 10 mph, you can disable them, accord-ing to Nolo.com, a law o%ce that deals with car accidents.

In order to protect yourself from potential lawsuits and negligence, check your lights, even if you are just spotting the re#ection in the back of the car in front of you. Make sure when the sun is going down at 6 o’clock, you are turning your lights on, even if you are just a few minutes from the house. If a pedestri-an pops out of nowhere, your insurance company may still put you at fault for negligence.

Fayetteville has wonderful lighting around campus, and parts of the downtown and on Dickson. But side streets and neighborhoods don’t always have the same qual-ity lighting. Your car needs to pick up the slack. Check your lights and, if they aren’t doing their job, invest in new ones. It could save your life, and it could save the life of the pe-destrian wearing black walk-ing down the side of the road.

Don’t Get Your Lights Knocked Out

If the lady standing be-hind of me in line wanted to buy my hazelnut latte, I would be absolutely over-joyed. If the guy with the heaping cart o&ered to let me cut in line at the gro-cery store, my day would be made. If I made the morning dash from my apartment to my car, only to "nd the frost-ed windows scraped clean … then I may be creeped out. But I’d quickly get over that and be quite grateful.

Basically, I’m all for being the recipient of kind deeds. When those deeds come at the hands of a stranger, it makes it even better. It’s amazing how much a simple gesture can brighten my day.

I know I’m not the only one who enjoys receiving kindness — most people do. So, when the Hogs Care initiative popped up on the UA homepage, my initial

thought was one of excite-ment. Imagine all of the stu-dents whose days were about to be made.

However, optimism was quickly replaced by disap-pointment. Hogs Care Week is a little misleading. People shouldn’t focus on being nice just one week out of the year; rather, being kind is something we should strive for year round.

Concentrating your self-less deeds into a single week doesn’t mean you should be mean the rest of the year. It doesn’t mean you should ig-nore people who are strug-gling.

It’s doubtful anyone was ever nominated for an out-standing citizen award by doing good deeds slightly less than 2 percent of the year. It simply doesn’t work that way.

Aim for consistent kind-ness instead.

What happens when the perfect opportunity to help a fellow student pops up three weeks down the line? If it’s not your dedicated kindness week, do you just ignore them?

Why should we hesitate to bestow kindness the oth-er 51 weeks, knowing how much joy it brings people? Your actions can bring those warm, fuzzy feelings to ev-eryone around you.

Researchers found people

are motivated to altruism simply by witnessing anoth-er person doing a good deed, according to the Association for Psychological Science study “Elevation Leads to Altruistic Behavior.”

Not only do you help someone else, but you can motivate others to do so, too.

!ose who you helped will help others. !e people who witnessed you helping will help others. !en, the chain reaction has started, and small acts of kindness just keep spreading.

When you see somebody doing something nice, it’s okay to give a little shout out. Pass on the story and spread some cheer. !e more people who hear about it, the more people who are motivated to do some altruistic work of their own.

Anybody can do a ran-dom act of kindness. More participants spread more kindness. Just keep your eyes open.

A$er the Newtown, Conn., tragedy, Warren Tidwell said he was inspired to make a di&erence, so he started a Facebook page called 26 Acts of Kindness, NBCNEWS.com report-ed. His page now has over 101,000 likes, and people have posted their own acts of kindness.

!rough his project, one man was able to change

many lives. Kindness is con-tagious.

Part of the beauty in ran-dom acts of kindness is there isn’t a price limit you reach. Being nice doesn’t cost a thing. You don’t have to do-nate hours of your time. In fact, you don’t even have to spend time plotting what to do.

S p u r- o f - t h e - m o m e nt kindness is one of the best types, because it is indicative of character. It means you’re aware of your surroundings and thoughtful enough to care whenever you notice somebody struggling.

Perhaps it’s a bit too op-timistic to think that the entire world will change by a few good deeds. However, a little bit of kindness could change someone’s world.

If you pay attention to your surroundings — on and o& campus — you’ll prob-ably see plenty of people who are in need of a friend every day of the year. Your actions could turn their days around.

So, the next time you’re walking across campus, take a few moments to look around. Hogs Care Week or not, you can still change someone’s life.

“Making Your Journey Worthwhile”

“WALL-E” captured the hearts of viewers as the robot that saved the earth in the future. !e real androids that are being made by the Arkan-sas Robotics Club (ARC) might not be able to save the world, but they allow students to un-derstand how a robot functions as they invent them.

“!e Arkansas Robotics Club was founded last semester,” said Chris Farnell, ARC presi-dent. “It came about because it seemed crazy that the UA did not already have a robotics club on campus, and it already had a lot of interest combined with being a great learning opportu-nity.”

ARC currently has around 60 members. !e next meeting will take place March 14 in Bell 2286 at 6 p.m. !e organization aims to build, design, and test robots and automated ma-chines through collaboration between the sci-ence, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, according to the ARC web-site.

!e process for designing a robot begins with conceptualizing what the robot is going to do, said Dr. Scott Smith, ARC faculty advisor. !en, the designing of the robot frame begins, and the motors and mechanical parts for the robot can be purchased. !e last step is to design the elec-tronics to control the robot’s movement, based on its current task and the surrounding envi-ronment.

When the RSO "nishes creating a robot, they test its abilities by letting it compete against oth-ers. !e competitions that ARC are involved in

are the NASA Lunabotics, the Robotics Manu-facturing Cell and the IEEE Robotics Region 5.

“We currently have three competitions on our radar,” said Pete Tucker, ARC outreach chair and senior electrical engineering major. “We have applied for funding from various aca-demic funds and approached companies about sponsoring our competitions. We have begun our planning and design for each competition, and soon we will begin building each robot. !e competitions will take place towards the end of the semester, and then we will travel to the com-petition and compete against other universities

across the nation.”!e RSO does not require knowledge of ro-

botics to join, as members range from freshmen to Ph.D. students.

“Our collaboration through the "elds brings together all aspects of robotics, from the nuts and bolts to the ones and zeros, and the vast ar-ray of skills and backgrounds of our team mem-bers promotes creativity and new ideas,” Tucker said. “!is environment provides and encour-

ages learning and exploration well beyond what is available in the classroom.”

It can be di#cult to grasp the concepts read in textbooks or heard in lecture, but the ARC allows members to discover in an entertaining atmosphere.

It is great to see all of the theory learned in class put to a practical application, Farnell said. It is one thing to derive and solve equations, but it is quite another to see it implemented as a physical design in a “non-ideal” world. !e exchange of ideas between people of di$erent backgrounds is great, too. Everyone sees di$er-

ent solutions to the same problem, and there are a lot of great brainstorming sessions that occur when working on a project, he said.

ARC wants to spread knowledge across cam-pus about robotics, but they also aim to educate the local community, too.

“My favorite thing about being involved with the Arkansas Robotics Club has been head-ing up to the club outreach with local schools,” Tucker said. “We have been involved with three schools at the elementary, junior high and high school level in helping them design and build robots. Our most recent project has been help-ing the Springdale High GearHogs build a frisbee-throwing robot for the FIRST Robotics Competition.”

!e common stipulation about the robotics club is that only certain majors are involved, but students do not have to major in a science-relat-ed "eld to join the ARC.

“One thing I have learned during my time at the UA is that a project has the best chance of success when people of various expertise work together to achieve a goal,” Farnell said. “!ere are business students working on funding our organization, mechanical engineers building the chassis of the robots, and electrical and comput-er engineers wiring and programing the ‘brains’ of the bots. Also, students from other disciplines lend their own viewpoints and expertise to the projects. Everyone has the value of having a di-verse team, which helps prevent the isolation that occurs between people of di$erent majors.”

Four years ago, a high school stu-dent who knew very little English left her home in China to become a foreign exchange student in Hot Springs, Ark. Now, not only does junior Mengjiao Liao work to help international students at the UA, but she is helping to organize Interna-tional Women’s Day.

The event is intended to raise awareness about issues women here and around the world face. As a pro-gram assistant for the Office of Inter-national Students and Scholars, Liao said that for the past several years, the event has been more centered on the multicultural aspect.

“We’re trying to shift the focus to women’s issues,” she said. “It’s going to be more educational.”

“Educational” does not mean mo-notonous. There will be a fashion show and performances, including a band and a play. The multicultur-al cast members will portray what women’s lives are like in each of their home countries, and the audience will be able to ask questions after-ward. Prizes will be given out to es-say contest winners who wrote about women’s roles in a global society, Liao said.

Students will also honor their fe-male professors, and students with various backgrounds will make speeches about how they view wom-en’s rights in different parts of the world. Groups like RESPECT, No Woman Left Behind and Dream BIG have been invited to speak and edu-cate.

Liao was an intern for RESPECT last year, where she helped with rape education presentations on campus that answered misconceptions about rape, she said.

“A lot of things in American so-ciety, people have been desensitized to,” she said. As an example, she said people sometimes use the word “rape” jokingly or casually when they are not talking about actual rape, like when someone says something along the lines of, “I just raped that test.”

“You don’t know how offensive those words can be to people who have been raped,” Liao said.

No Woman Left Behind also strives to educate people about rape and violence against women, and Dream BIG is a program where col-lege students work to mentor teenage girls who are often living in impov-erished or abusive situations, Liao said.

As an international student her-self, Liao uses her experiences to help students who come from other countries, especially ones who do not speak English, she said.

“I’ve been through this before, so I want to help,” she said.

Although she said she can see China getting closer to the U.S. in terms of women’s rights, there is still inequality for women in the home and in the workplace, she said.

Liao said she always wanted to come to college in the U.S. and that coming here and working for the Of-fice of International Students and Scholars has been a great opportu-nity to meet people from all over.

“It really opens our eyes. It gives us perspective when dealing with relationships,” Liao said. “We live in such a globalized society.”

With over 1,200 international students, she said “anything you do could offend someone,” but Liao said she is able to joke with the multicul-tural community and that it creates a less tense atmosphere. No mat-ter where they are from, people of-ten have similar values and are a lot more alike than one might think, she said.

International Women’s Day is March 8 in the Union, but there will be an educational panel in Holcombe the night before to introduce the event.

“It’s really informative,” Liao said. “It’ll bring people’s attention to wom-en’s issues that might be ignored.”

!e Razorback women’s basketball team celebrated senior day with a 93-52 win over the Ole Miss Rebels in Bud Walton Arena Sunday a"ernoon.

!e Lady Rebels started o# strong to set the tempo and kept Arkansas at a dis-tance for the $rst couple of minutes while the Hogs got their rhythm going.

Two consecutive 3-point-ers, from Erin Gatling and then Calli Berna, put Ar-kansas ahead of Ole Miss for the $rst time, and for the re-mainder of the game, with 14 minutes le" in the $rst half.

!e enthusiasm and speed that Ole Miss brought to the game seemed to be stolen by the Hogs as they took control of the tempo.

!e Razorbacks contin-ued to separate from the Rebels as they worked the inside and kept the ball moving. !e Hogs $nished the half with a lead over Ole Miss at 46-30.

“I wish I knew what sparked our o#ense, because I’d put it in a can and bust it open every single game we play,” head coach Tom Col-len said. “We obviously have

struggled o#ensively all sea-son long, and I think we just got o# to a good start.”

In team sports, wins and losses are usually the most important statistic. Howev-er, using wins and losses to

measure the success of one individual on a team of many doesn’t make much sense.

A very good pitcher with a low ERA but little run sup-port from his team can face many no-decisions, or un-deserved losses. At the same time, an average pitcher with a decent ERA on a team that scores a lot of runs can win a lot of games.

Last season, Arkansas pitcher Ryne Stanek posted a 2.82 ERA in 17 starts. In one more start than Stanek, UCLA pitcher Nick Vander Tuig posted an ERA of 4.43.

Each of the pitchers re-corded four losses, but

Vander Tuig earned 10 wins, while Stanek only earned eight, despite posting a sig-ni$cantly lower ERA.

A major factor in this is the o#ense provided by their respective teams. !e Razor-backs posted a team batting average of .271 for the season, while the Bruins hit .304.

!e eventual College World Series champion Ari-zona Wildcats had two start-ing pitchers that won at least 70 percent of their decisions even though they posted ERAs barely under 4.00.

!e Wildcat pitching sta# was aided by a lineup that hit .329 throughout the season.

Last season, Clayton Ker-shaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers and R.A. Dickey of the New York Mets each started 33 games. !ey posted very similar ERAs, Dickey’s a 2.73 and Kershaw’s a 2.53.

However, Dickey won six more games and took three fewer losses than Kershaw

!e complexity of the rules used to determine who takes the win or the loss makes it even more di%cult to gain any useful informa-tion by looking at a pitcher’s win-loss record.

Sometimes, a starting pitcher gets a no-decision, and a reliever takes the win

or the loss. A starting pitcher can have a fantastic game, and can receive nothing more than a dash in the win-loss column even if his team goes on to win the game.

According to MLB, the winning pitcher is the one “whose team assumes a lead while such pitcher is in the game.”

In 2010, the Seattle Mari-ners’ Felix Hernandez started 34 games, posted a Major League Baseball best 2.27 ERA and won only 13 games. He took losses in 12, mean-ing in a little over a quarter of his games, he received a no-decision.

In one particular game in 2010, Hernandez pitched eight innings, struck out eight batters and allowed only two hits and no runs, but did not get credited with a win.

He got 24 batters out with-out allowing a run. Neither team was able to score until the 11th inning, so a pitcher that only recorded six outs while giving up one run re-ceived the victory.

COMMENTARY

!e Razorback so"ball team earned the Woo Pig Classic title with a win over Jacksonville State 3-2 in the championship game Sunday at Bogle Park.

Arkansas started o# the weekend with a win over Wright State 11-3. Arkansas pulled their $rst $ve runs in the second inning.

Sierra Bronkey, Clarisa Navarro and Jennifer Ram-bo earned two, one and one RBI, respectively, with Kyn-dra Meeker, Devon Wallace, Chloe Oprzedek, Bronkey and Navarro scoring the runs.

!e third inning brought three more runs for the Hogs, concluding with a home run by Wallace that sent Jayme Gee in to score ahead of her. !e fourth inning did not follow the trend and Wright State scored their only three runs for the game.

Kimmy Beasley went in to pitch for Kelly Young a"er the third-inning runs and retired the next two batters to end Wright State’s rally.

!e Razorbacks earned the win in the sixth inning with an RBI by Amanda Sum-merford that scored Lauren Montgomery.

!e Hogs won 8-0 in $ve innings in their second game of the classic against Northern Iowa. Meeker and Navarro got the Hogs on the board in the $rst inning with Meeker scor-ing o# a &y out by Schroeder and Navarro scoring on a wild

pitch.Wallace hit her second

home run of the day and scored the only run in the second inning, followed by a third-inning three-run home run by Summerford, which scored Rambo and Navarro.

!e game ended a"er Oprzedek earned two RBIs, scoring Claire Clark and Summerford to beat NIU.

Pitcher Chelsea Cohen gave up $ve hits and struck out seven in the shutout.

Saturday, the Razorbacks took a loss against Jackson-ville State and a win in the semi$nals against Northern Iowa.

JSU led the game early, scoring $ve points to Arkan-

sas’ one in the $rst six innings. !e Hogs attempted a come-back in the seventh inning with a home run by Oprzedek that scored Martindale and Clark but the rally fell short, and the game ended with a score of 5-4.

Pitcher Kimmy Beasley retired eight straight batters in 2.1 innings and struck out nine batters in the game, which topped her previous career high of eight strikeouts.

Northern Iowa couldn’t $nd a foothold in their semi$-nal game with Arkansas, scor-ing their only run in the sec-ond inning before falling in $ve innings by a score of 17-1.

Among the many RBIs, earned and unearned runs

and hits, Gee shone Saturday night as she earned $ve RBIs, two runs and a grandslam.

!e Hogs had a dramatic increase in runs in the fourth inning, boosting their score from eight to 17. Cohen pitched the $rst three innings before Hope McLemore took over in the top of the fourth to retire the next three batters, two of which she struck out.

JSU scored their only two run in the $rst inning of the title game. Schroeder scored the $rst run for the Hogs in the second inning with a home run, followed by a $"h-inning homer by Oprzedek.

!e trend continued for the Hogs in the seventh in-ning with a home run to le"

$eld by Wallace, $nally push-ing the Hogs into the lead, 3-2.

Beasley, who pitched the $nal three innings, made quick work of the last inning, allowing one hit and striking out three batters to earn the win for the Razorbacks.

!e win in the title game was the career victory No. 200 for head coach Mike Larabee.

“I had no idea where I was as far as wins for a career,” Larabee said. “!at was a big surprise and I de$nitely won’t forget the 200th win. It was a great day at Bogle Park.”

Arkansas will take on Utah Valley State in a three-game series in Fayetteville, begin-ning March 8 at 6 p.m.

Ryan Miller Sta# PhotographerFreshman in$elder Nicole Schroeder gets a hit during Sunday’s championship game of the Woo Pig Classic. !e Razorbacks defeated Jacksonville State 3-2.

!e Razorback baseball team was only able to score six total runs in four games this weekend at the Coca-Cola Classic in Surprise, Ariz., los-ing all four of them.

Arkansas fell to No. 25 Ari-zona State twice, as well as to Gonzaga and Paci$c once.

In the $rst game of the tour-nament, the Razorbacks le" 10 runners on base against the Sun Devils, falling 3-2 !ursday.

Twice the Razorbacks le" the bases loaded, including in the second inning when they had the bases loaded with no outs and were down 1-0, but came away with no runs.

“We had our shots,” head coach Dave Van Horn said. “!e second inning is where we lost the ballgame. We had a chance to tie the game or take the lead. !at really changes the game.”

Preseason All-American ju-nior Dominic Ficociello made his season debut a"er missing the $rst eight games with an injury, collecting two of Arkan-sas’ nine hits of the game.

On the mound, junior Ryne Stanek picked up his $rst loss of the season, giving up an earned run on $ve hits and two walks in 5.2 innings of work.

Arkansas’ forwards came up big for the Razorbacks Sat-urday, as the Hogs easily han-dled Kentucky in Bud Walton Arena, beating the Wildcats 73-60.

Junior Marshawn Powell $nished with 15 points and nine rebounds, while Coty Clarke came up just short of a triple-double with 14 points, 12 rebounds and six assists.

!e Hogs only shot 30.8 percent compared to Ken-tucky’s 45.8 percent in the $rst half, but took 15 more shots than the Wildcats because of their ability to create turn-overs. Arkansas went into the locker room holding a 32-29 lead.

Clarke had arguably his best game of the season against the talented Kentucky big men Willie Cauley-Stein and Alex Poythress. Clarke had six of-fensive rebounds, many of which led to easy baskets.

“He’s starting to impose his will on opponents. He’s a good ball player that can do so many things,” head coach Mike Anderson said.

Powell had a hard time getting anything to fall in the $rst half, shooting 3-10 from the $eld despite creating good looks. He heated up early in the second, making a corner three followed by a three-point play $nished at the freethrow line that extended the Hogs’ lead to nine.

Arkansas’ bench play was a di#erence maker later in the game given Kentucky’s lack of depth. !e Hogs’ Kikko Hay-dar and Rashad Madden were able to make big impacts in the second half coming o# the bench.

Madden tied his South-eastern Conference scoring high with eight points in 24 minutes played, also contrib-uting seven rebounds. Haydar $nished with eight points in 18 minutes.

Kentucky’s youth, inexpe-rience and lack of depth were on full display in Bud Walton Arena. !e Hogs forced 18 turnovers and were able to score 30 points o# Kentucky’s miscues. Arkansas over-whelmingly outscored Ken-tucky in points o# turnovers, 30-2.

“We weren’t as tough as them and we didn’t play as hard as them, and they de-served to win the game,” said John Calipari, Kentucky’s head coach.

Kentucky freshmen Cau-ley-Stein and Archie Goodwin both scored in double $gures,

but also combined for eight turnovers.

Despite $nishing with 10 rebounds and 13 points, the 7-foot Cauley-Stein was rou-tinely beat on the boards by the undersized Arkansas for-wards Powell and Clarke. !e Hogs out-rebounded Ken-tucky 44-37, and had 20 o#en-sive rebounds.

“We knew we had to box them out and crash the boards whenever we can, and it worked out for us,” Powell said.

!e Little Rock, Ark., na-tive Goodwin had a solid game, $nishing with 14 points

and $ve rebounds despite hearing boos from the hostile Bud Walton crowd every time he touched the ball.

Goodwin claimed that he’s “not from here” and it would be di#erent if he was from Fayetteville, but he’s from Lit-tle Rock where everyone loves him still.

“It wasn’t something that I let a#ect me, I just had to block it out and focus on what we had to do,” Goodwin said.

Arkansas (18-11, 9-7 SEC) next faces a tough road test at Missouri Tuesday as the Hogs continue to push for a post-season appearance.

mance by Stanek and Arkan-sas’ nine hits, they were un-able to push more than two runs across the plate. Also, the Sun Devils were aided by two Razorback $elding errors.

Friday, the Razorbacks faced Gonzaga and starting junior pitcher Marco Gon-zales, the No. 21 MLB dra" prospect, according to MLB.com.

Gonzales shut down Ar-kansas’ o#ense, allowing eight hits in a complete game shut-out.

“We knew we had our hands full with him before we got here,” Van Horn said, “but that third or fourth time through the lineup, we have to make some adjustments.”

Sophomores Brian An-derson, Brett McAfee and freshman Tyler Spoon each had two hits at the plate for Arkansas, while junior pitch-er Barrett Astin gave up two earned runs on seven hits in

5.1 innings.Astin tossed $ve scoreless

innings before giving up Gon-zaga’s only runs in the sixth inning.

“Barrett had $ve really good innings,” Van Horn said. “I think he started get-ting a little tired (in the sixth inning). He elevated a couple pitches and (Gonzaga) drove in a couple runs.”

!e Razorbacks had a rematch with Arizona State Saturday, but came up short again, losing 3-1.

Freshman Trey Killian had a solid outing on the mound, giving up two earned runs on four hits in 6.1 innings. He also had nine strikeouts.

However, Arkansas could only score one run and le" six runners on base. !ey also had three $elding errors.

“We couldn’t get the big hit. !at’s the frustrating thing,” Van Horn said. “Early in the game, we le" too many

runners on base.”Arkansas’ best chance at a

win in the Coca-Cola Classic came Sunday, when they held a 3-1 lead heading into the bottom of the ninth against Paci$c.

Paci$c used four hits, a hit by pitch and a McAfee error to score three runs in the bottom of the ninth and win the game.

McAfee’s error was his fourth of the weekend and Ar-kansas’ 10th team error of the weekend.

Senior pitcher Randall Fant started the game for the Razorbacks and went four in-nings, giving up one earned run on four hits. Junior Bran-don Moore blew the save op-portunity and took the loss.

Spoon extended his hitting streak to 12 games by going 2-for-3 with an RBI.

!ey kept a tight defense with 34 defensive rebounds to the Rebels’ 15, and had an accurate o#ense with a $eld goal percentage of 60 percent and a three-point $eld goal percentage of 52.2 percent.

Gatling and Dominique Wilson led the team, hitting three of their six three-point attempts each. Berna also made two of her three at-tempts past the three-point line.

!is victory over Ole Miss gave the Hogs an over-

all record of 18-11 and a record of 6-10 within the Southeastern Conference. It was also the largest margin of victory since they faced Northwestern State in late December.

Forty-one points is also the largest margin of victo-ry in an SEC game, beating the 39-point victory against Florida in 2003.

“I’ve said all along that I think this team can beat any-body,” Collen said. “We’ve just had a rough schedule and we’ve lost all our close games. And maybe with a shot in the arm, and if we shoot the ball the way we did tonight, I think we can go down to the SEC Tourna-ment and make a run.”
