Dickson Parking Policy Changes

Two months ago, Emil-ia’s Kitchen on Dickson Street would have been crowded with costum-ers at noon. Now, how-ever, the restaurant caters to emptiness and silence as lunchtime comes and goes.

“Lunches on Dickson have been quiet for a while now,” said Sara Lusher, an owner of Emilia’s Kitchen.

To fix this problem, the Fayetteville City Council decided to alter the paid parking ordinance, ex-tending the time of free parking to 2 p.m. ! This went into effect on Oct. 1.

Under the original ordi-nance, parking was 50 cents an hour during the day, $1 an hour at night, and free be-tween 2 a.m. and 10 a.m. The altered ordinance allows free parking from 2 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This decision comes after many business owners on Dickson protested the new parking rules. Profits were down 40 percent street-wide, according to the owners.

There has been a notice-able difference, Lusher said.

“To tell you the truth, I don’t even want to know

the exact numbers of our loss,” she said. ! “It was a good theory, but it’s not working well at all.”

There is much confu-sion about parking, she said. They did not con-sider handicap parking and people are always asking questions about where they can park and where to pay.

Many restaurants have lost their regular customers who are eat-ing elsewhere in protest.

“A lot of people think they are hurting the city when they go other places, but they’re actually hurting the businesses they want to save,” Lusher said. “We’d be better off if we just shut the door and opened at five - that’s how bad it is.”

Stores that have their own parking lots on Dick-son have also been hit hard by the new regulations.

People who don’t want to pay for parking are now parking in the Col-lier Drug Stores lot, cre-ating a problem for cos-tumers who want to park.

“I’ve complained to the

UA Alum Wins Playboy Fiction Writing AwardStudents at the UA have

received honors for their work before, but never quite like UA alumna Meaghan Mulholland, a graduate of the Master of Fine Arts program this past spring.

Mulholland is the 2010 winner of Playboy maga-zine’s annual College Fic-tion Contest with her short story “Woman, Fire and the Sea.” She was given $3,000, and her story is pub-lished in the October 2010 College issue of Playboy.

be able to have the chance to be published in a national magazine such as Playboy magazine,” said Steve Mazei-ka, the junior publicist for Playboy Enterprises, Inc.

Mulholland beat out 500 other submissions with! her fluid writing style and the strong theme of her sto-ry, Mazeika said, which is tagged as “A tale of mul-tiple misunderstandings set on the French Riviera.”

Mulholland entered the contest while at the UA for the opportunities it pro-vides and the magazine’s track record of publishing upstanding literature, in-cluding works by Kurt Von-negut, author of “Slaugh-terhouse-Five.” Mulholland is using the award to get her work into the hands of readers and to help her continue writing her novel.

!“I’ve been working really hard on my book for the past few years, and the writing life can be so solitary and full of angst, so it’s nice to have a moment of recognition like this,” Mulholland said, “[The money] is going to help me to keep working on my novel for a while, now that I’m done with grad school.”

There was no lack of sup-port or encouragement felt by Mulholland from her pro-fessors or advisors at the uni-versity while she prepared and perfected her entry or after winning the contest.

“They were really pleased [when I won]. They’ve all been wonderfully supportive throughout my whole time in the writing program,” Mulholland said. “My win-ning this contest is in part a testament to the fantas-tic faculty in the UA’s MFA

Pat Walker Health Cen-ter officials have designated October as Mental Health Month. ! The primary goal of mental health month is to “educate the general public about the realities of mental health and mental illness,” according to Men-tal Health America.

PROFILES FROM THE HILLA Conversation with Professor Bruce Allen

Gareth Patterson CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHERBruce Allen, an assistant professor and an expert in youth issues and self determination, stands in front of the School of Social Work Monday morning. After 20 years of private practice in social work, Allen began teaching part time in 1995.

Bruce Allen has been in-volved in the ! eld of social work for more than 20 years. Allen taught classes part-time while working in the ! elds of mental health, chemical dependency and youth services. Along with being a senior trainer for the William Glaser Institute, he be-came the director of ! eld educa-tion ! ve years ago for the School of Social Work, and he was been using his connections to help students ! nd a solid foot-ing in the ! eld of social work.

Q: What initially got you interested in the ! eld of so-cial work?

A: I had an interest early in psychology and the help-ing professions, so social work ended up being a good vehicle to do that, not only working with the psychology of indi-viduals, but also with what other circumstances in soci-ety and families help people to be able to make it easily or struggle. I was from a middle-income family. We didn’t do great but we made it through. I recognize that there are a lot of people that didn’t do so well, and I felt like maybe I could help them out in some way.

Q: How’d you end up at the UA?

by Jordan GrummerStaff Writer A: I’m originally from Tex-

as. I moved to this area in the early 1980s. I really had always planned for, in the latter part of my career or a! er I col-lected some good experience, to think about teaching, and I was " attered to be asked by someone to come and teach a class. At that time I had a pri-vate practice in clinical social work doing counseling and consulting so it was kind of a natural addition. For prob-ably 15 years I’ve taught one or two classes, but # ve years ago I went to work full time here, and it just seemed like a good match. $ I had a lot of good experience and things to share with students and I wanted to kind of serve the bridge between the academic and the practice profession because social work, of course, is a practice profession as well as being steeped in academia.

Q: Have you learned any lessons by doing this kind of work?

A: I think the lesson I’ve learned is to try to always keep a balance in my perspective between what is determined and what people have choice about. When I work with folks, I really like to believe that they can always make a better choice about the situ-ation, but as I mentioned be-fore, not everybody starts at the same place or has the same

opportunities. So it’s really balancing that sort of sense of having personal responsibil-ity with the fact that our cul-ture and our society don’t give people equal opportunities. % e lesson is to be sensitive to where am I my thinking and where am I posturing myself between those two points.

Q: Why do you feel this line of work is important?

A: I think that in an orga-nized and professional way

we can help people based on theories of human behavior and research into what helps. Almost everybody at some point in their lives, and some people at a lot of points in their lives, are helpers with others and folks around them. We have the bene# t of the research and the folks that have really studied what does help speci# -cally. We need to have a cadre

Insect Enthusiasts Swarm UA Animal Science Center

Thursday, Oct. 7 the Pauline Whitaker Animal Science Center will house the 11th Insect Festival of Arkansas from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. The event is meant to be both fun and educational for all ages.

“It’s something I started in 1993,” said entomology professor Donald Steinkraus. “It’s a lot of work; we’ll have probably 70 volunteers for it so we have to mobi-lize all of the entomolo-gists around the state… It’s a one-day event, and we usually attract about 3,000 people to it in that one day.”

Steinkraus estimates that there will be approximately 4,000 insects at the festival, both living and preserved. This will include cock-roaches from Madagascar and South America, as well as scorpions from Africa.

This year’s attractions will include games and crafts, as well as cockroach races dur-ing which children from vis-iting schools can pick their “champion” as Steinkraus calls it. “We aim it toward the grade school; we also have high school, and it’s good for adults, too. Every-body can find something interesting,” Steinkraus said.

Additionally, there will be a zoo of live insects and arthropods such as taran-tulas and scorpions. Visi-tors will also be able to handle some exotic roach-es. “It’s a good chance for kids to see that insects are animals,” Steinkraus said.

Other exhibits will in-clude the cotton patch, where Steinkraus said people will be able to see how cotton

is grown and turned into fi-ber and learn about the “in-sect pests” that are found in the crop. There will also be a honey bee exhibit, as well as ones featuring aquatic and forest insects and a display on how insects have affected human history and culture.

“We have an arthropod museum here on campus and they bring their cases of ex-otic insects, which are really beautiful,” Steinkraus said.

“A new thing that we’re doing this year that is re-ally fun,” Steinkraus said, “is that our grad students

are dressing up in these amazing costumes - a man-tis, a butterfly - and put-ting on this musical skit… It’s geared for little kids but I think everyone is going to enjoy it. It’s quite hilarious.”

Except for the Mt. Mag-azine Butterfly Festival, Steinkraus considers the In-sect Festival of Arkansas to be a unique event in the state.

“This is the biggest one in the state. It’s the first one and the biggest one,” Steinkraus said. “Other states have something simi-lar but I think ours is the

best in the nation… You can talk to experts and learn about insects. That’s a valu-able part of what we do.”

“It’s educational but it’s also fun,” Steinkraus said. “There’s a lot going on from hardcore science to com-plete ridiculous nonsense like the insect theatre where there is some learning but it’s fun. You can take what you want out of this - if you want to go walk around and look at the pretty bugs you can do that; if you want to talk in depth to an entomol-ogist, this is your chance.”

“I don’t think we realized how bad it was really going to be. It was a bad move for Fayetteville and a bad move for downtown,” he said. “I think the 2 p.m. park-ing rule is just to appease the restaurants and I don’t think the city will be getting any parking revenue soon.”

However, not all stores on Dickson Street are suf-fering from the new park-ing regulations. ! Something Urban is so close to campus that business has not de-creased, said Amy White-Beard, owner of the store.

“People can actually park in front, whip in and whip out,” she said. “In fact, one of our best weeks ever was the week be-fore the Alabama game.”

It would be better, how-ever, if there could be a thir-ty-minute option, she said. This way it would be cheap-er and better for people

who don’t want to stay long.Students either strongly

opposed the paid park-ing or were indiffer-ent toward it, they said.

For Peter Wolfenberg-er, a delivery worker at Jimmy Johns, the park-ing presents difficulties.

“Before, I used to just park in front of the store so that I could easily come and go,” Wolfenberger said. “Now, at night time I have no choice but to park in front and pay, but then when I move my car to make a delivery, I have to find a new spot when I come back and pay again.”

Employees do have an option for discounted park-ing and may receive a 90 - percent discount for spe-cific on-street pay parking spaces. They can also re-ceive a certain amount of coupons depending on the number of hours they work.

“I’m not totally against it,” said Tayler Hampton, a junior physics major. “If it’s going to benefit some-one, then I don’t mind pay-ing a couple of quarters. I just have to keep in mind to have change with me.”

“It’s boring because ac-tivities like going to the pool can’t be done, and there’s not much to do inside,” Petty said. He thinks that if the UA had more indoor activities during the winter months he wouldn’t be as bored and therefore happier and more mentally healthy.

Q: Can you talk about your decision to move into the classroom?

A: Well, I really found that I had gained a lot of information that was helpful to me, and it was helpful to my clients, and I would be asked, just out of my practice, to do trainings and workshops with groups of peo-ple. It really seemed like I did have a lot to share, and they re-ally appreciated the knowledge there. I enjoyed that as much as I enjoyed the counseling and other stu! that I was do-ing, so the university was kind of a natural way to take that in more of a formal way, go back to school myself in the sense of reading the current text-books and literature that really helped me hone the message that I was giving when I was doing trainings and that led naturally into the classroom.

Q: Are there any particu-lar accomplishments that you’re more proud of than others?

A: I got an opportunity to serve with an international or-ganization, the William Glass-er Institute, and they teach something that’s called reality therapy that I picked up on the way. I got certi" ed with that and worked with that organi-zation, was elected to the board of that organization and then was elected chair of the board of that organization which is

pretty exciting to me because the institute functions in 26 countries. To be able to talk to people all over the world who have a similar view and a simi-lar mission to be elected chair was an honor. An accomplish-ment? I suppose. But really to get myself in a position of be-ing in dialogue with a lot of people who were really trying to " nd a way to help others was pretty exciting, and it felt like a good accomplishment as well.

Q: Has anyone ever told you that you look like Rob Reiner?

A: (Laughs) No I haven’t, but I’m certainly a fan of Rob Reiner and I can identify with his point in time and his atti-tude and perspective on things.

Q: What kind of music do you like?

A: My favorite genre would be blues and blues rock. It’d have to be Eric Clapton at the top. My band opened the show for Bikes, Blues and BBQ last [week]. Strange Heroes is the name of the band. I still like to rock and roll, and I use music in therapy settings too.

Q: If you could have any superpower what would it be?

A: It would be the ability to create a sense of connected-ness with everybody. Say if I had a power and I could wave it over you, and you would feel like you had known me and even though we might be di! erent, we really had more in common than we thought. What wouldn’t it solve?

Q & A with Parking O! cialsWith the increased en-

rollment at the University of Arkansas, many students have questions about cam-pus parking and Razorback Transit services. In an effort to inform the students, many of the most frequently asked questions and their responses are listed below.! More infor-mation can be found on the Transit and Parking website at http://parking.uark.edu

Q: Why isn’t more conve-nient parking available?

The university, while growing, has tried to keep academic buildings rela-tively close to one another while constructing park-ing at the perimeter of the campus. This means it’s easier and quicker to walk between buildings but that parking is necessarily less convenient to a particular building. With increased en-rollment, the loss of parking becuase of recent construc-

tion, and a higher percent-age of students bringing vehicles to campus, the de-mand for parking on campus is higher than in the past.# Even so, there are more than 800 parking spaces available along Razorback Road during peak parking hours.# These spaces are served by Razorback Transit from 7 a.m. until 10:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Q: How many vehicles are registered to park on cam-pus?

#In fiscal year 2010, 15,085

annual parking permits were purchased for car park-ing spaces on campus. This breaks down into the fol-lowing permit categories:

Reserved – 754Garage – 2,566Faculty/Staff – 2,875Student – 7,775Resident Reserved – 1,115#There were 178 motor-

cycles, 384 scooters and 458 bicycles registered to park on campus last year.

by GARY SMITHDirector of Transit and Parking

Q: How is Parking funded?

Parking on the University of Arkansas campus is oper-ated as an auxiliary.# No tu-ition or state funds are put into the parking program.# All the revenues gener-ated from parking permit sales, parking meter fees, and parking violation fees are used to pay the opera-tional and capital expenses of the parking program.

Q: Do parking controllers have a quota?

No. Parking Control Of-ficers are instructed that a verbal warning, heeded by a violator, accomplishes their goal the same as issu-ing a citation. Their mission is to enforce the parking regulations to ensure that adequate parking is avail-able for authorized vehicles. This is to be accomplished by being visible in their as-signed work areas to pro-vide information and direc-tions, and to issue parking ciations when necessary.Head to uatrav.com for the

is spearheading the event for the second year on Satur-day, Oct. 16. Local brewers bring their wares and set up booths in the Walton Arts Center parking lot. The crowds wander from stand to stand, sampling every-thing from the tame to the exotic.

Just because Bikes Blues and BBQ is over does not

mean the suds cannot continue to flow on Dickson Street.

However, the event is a family-oriented festival. Although the artisan beer is the main attraction, there will also be a variety of friendly competitions for all ages held for drinkers and non-drinkers. Barrel races, stein-hoisting contests and

bratwurst eating contests are only the beginning. For families with young chil-dren, there will be magi-cians, pumpkin painting, obstacle courses and a petting zoo. There will also be several live bands playing throughout the day.

The Homebrew competi-tion is held the weekend prior to the festival, and the winner is announced at the People’s Choice ceremony on Oct. 16. The grand prize is more than merely cash. The best beer brewer of the festi-val gets a brewing session at Hog Haus, and the company both brews and keeps that recipe on tap for an entire year.

John Collier’s Oktoberfest beer that took top honors last year is currently on tap at Hog Haus. His dark, hoppy, rich brew still retains a bright, warm feel to it with little of the bitterness that often accompanies darker beers. His will be difficult to dethrone, but one should anticipate fierce competition next week.

Despite poor weather, the event still drew a crowd of over 1,000 people last year. Todd Ericson, bartender and former manager at Hog Haus, said the brewery hopes for even greater num-bers this year.

“This is only our second year doing this,” Ericson said. “We know that growing a festival like this takes time, and we are trying to build it up.”

Hog Haus started six years ago when Julie Sills and Kari Larson, co-owners of the nearby coffee shop Com-mon Grounds, bought and reopened Ozark Brewing Co. Since then, their reputation has spread across Northwest Arkansas for a being a qual-ity, upscale restaurant with a down to earth feel, accom-panied always by excep-

The University of Arkan-sas has made a commitment to become an All-Steinway School, one of the only 113 colleges and universities in the world to claim this honor.

“This is a privilege for the University of Arkansas,” said Jura Margulis, piano professor at the UA. “A lot of this is the commitment of the chancellor for which we

are infinitely grateful.” A Steinway piano is per-

fection, Margulis said. As far as what a grand piano should be able to do, the Steinway fulfills and exceeds those expectations.

It takes more than one year to construct a Steinway piano. There are roughly 12,000 parts to the grand piano, and every single one of those parts is hand

crafted. “It’s like a recipe,” Margu-

lis said. “They have some sort of secret ingredient that nobody knows about, except three certain people.”

The UA now has a Steinway in all the practice rooms and concert halls.

A recent award from the League of American Bicy-clists categorized Fayetteville as “Bicycle Friendly,” given because the city “has made great strides in providing safe accommodations for cycling and encouraging people to bike for transportation and recreation.”

! e LAB award only con-" rms what the locals know to be true: Fayetteville has gone bike-crazy.

! e bike trail initiative began in Fayetteville in 2002, a# er citizens expressed a need for a citywide trail and greenway network. Since then, 16 miles of trails have been installed for foot and bi-cycle tra$ c, and the Fayette-ville Alternative Transporta-tion and Trails Master Plan projects another 129 miles of future trails to connect those already installed.

“We got a bronze award, which is the lowest…but it gives us good feedback on how to continue to the next level,” said Fayetteville Trails Coordinator Matt Milhalev-ich of the LAB award. Our goal is to go to silver and up. It’s a really good start and a nice way to recognize the work that been done and the community of cycling that’s been growing here.”

Milhalevich said that Fay-etteville is one of 156 cities in the nation to be chosen as “bike friendly,” and cites it as

both a great honor and a con-tinued call to action to serve the growing bike community.

“We have seen a signi" cant increase in cycling. I think a lot of the infrastructure that the city has put in – painting bike lanes, signs, symbols, trails – has given people the initiative to get out and ride somewhere rather than get-ting in their car,” Mihalevich said.

! e presence of such organizations as the Bicycle Coalition of the Ozarks and the Highroller Cyclery shop con" rms that Fayetteville is truly meant to be a bicycle town.

! e Highroller Cyclery has been a staple in the Fayette-ville biking community since 1972, and has continued to hold the area to a high level of cycling excellence ever since.

Laura Kelly, BCO chair, said that the BCO formed in 1999 out of the need for bi-cycle advocacy within various levels of government.

“Cycling was popular in NWA at the time, but mostly as a form of recreation or competition. %Bicycling as a form of transport had not yet caught on,” Kelly said. “Bicycle advocates knew that with some support from bicycle-friendly infrastruc-ture, we could convert many recreational and competitive cyclists into daily bicycle commuters.”

“We also knew that if we started training young

cyclists, we’d have a better chance at promoting respon-sible, predictable bicycle behavior, and earning the respect of our fellow roadway users.”

! e BCO currently spon-sors bicycle safety workshops for all ages, and regularly hosts family activities and group rides across local trails. For more information, visit bconwa.com.

Students have played a huge part in the increase of bicycle popularity around town, as many see biking as a means to avoid expensive parking passes and obnoxious park-ing citations. ! is year also marks a record enrollment for the University of Arkan-sas and, consequently, more bikes on campus.

Senior nursing student, Re-becca Molina, thinks biking in Fayetteville is great.

“! ere are a lot of things you wouldn’t see if you were in your car, so it opens your eyes to the town and all sorts of fun local businesses,” Molina said, “and I think it’s healthy and also good on the environment if we choose to bike instead of drive. I can tell that there has been an im-provement over the past two years as far as the increase in trails and opportunities to bike.”

Junior biology major Dave Faltys also has a very high opinion of biking in Fayette-ville.

“I love it! It’s a very ‘biker friendly’ town,” Faltys said,

“You can get anywhere you need to go just by using the bike trail and bike lanes.”

In recent years, the “green” trend has spread like wild" re, and has compelled many non-recycling, plastic-bottle-toting conventionalists to convert their ways. However, the city of Fayetteville rec-ognizes the bicycling trend as more than just a & eeting craze or a bandwagon social movement.

“It’s a very sustainable transportation,” Milhalevich said, “it’s free, it’s healthy for people…it has a lot of ben-e" ts and we’re really excited that the citizens are catch-ing on and embracing this culture.”

Customers take shots at the El Sancho tequila bar and restaurant. El Sancho’s o! ers Mexican cuisine and numerous types of tequila.

Ever since the 1500’s, when the Conquista-dors were making their way through the Ameri-cas, cantina cats and barflies alike have been enjoying the rich taste of North America’s first indigenous distilled spirit, tequila. How-ever, the popular style of shooting tequila and chasing it with salt and lime may not be the best way to consume the blue agave-based beverage.

In a recent article in “USA Today,” Laura Elek, of the Herradura Tequila Museum in Cancun, discussed the proper way to drink the spirit. The use of salt and lime with tequila ruins the experience, according to Elek. “The lime kills all the flavor, and it’s bad for your stomach,” she said. “And the salt? That has nothing to do with any-thing.” If you absolutely must use a chaser, Elek said that you should use an orange slice sprin-kled with cinnamon, or enjoy it with a glass of sangrita, a drink citrusy and peppery in taste that is intended to highlight the flavor of the tequila while en-riching the experience as a whole. “People think tequila is a drink for partying and getting drunk,” she said. “But they don’t know the process.”

“Tequila should be sipped and enjoyed,” said Lee Scarlett, co-owner of El Sancho,

New Tequila Bar on Dickson- Largest in AR

Dickson Street’s new tequila bar and the largest in the state. Scarlett says that the manufacturing and tradition behind tequila is somewhat similar to that of scotch. “They drink it in Mexico out of brandy sniffers,” he said. “You smell it. You sip it. It’s not something you shoot with salt and lime.” By using a brandy sniffer, the tequila is able to breathe and the bouquet can open up.

However, Scarlett said that tequila is re-ally all about having fun. “There is nothing wrong with a shot glass,” he said. “We get a lot of college kids in here

that want to do tequila poppers, or do it in a mixed drink, and that’s fine too. We just want everyone to have fun.”

Scarlett and his part-ner, Meliton Montes, set out to produce a bar and restaurant that embodies the fun and fancy-free attitude of tequila. “We wanted to create some place that wasn’t just a place that you went to eat dinner or lunch, but it’s a place that you come back to late nights to party and have fun.”

El Sancho is open till 3 a.m. on Fridays and Sat-urdays, and has nightly drink and food specials, including a student

night on Tuesdays where customers can get 15% of their bill with their student ID. The bar also has a patio with live mu-sic on the weekends, and their parking lot is free for customers every day from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The ambience of El Sancho is both classy and comfortable. With delicious food and 100 different kinds of tequila to choose from (includ-ing San Jose, the only tequila imported to Fay-etteville), El Sancho is a great place for families and friends to hang out together, as well as the perfect spot for a date night. All of the food is made to order, and the prices are reasonable. The tequila ranges from shots as cheap as $5 to as expensive as $35, and if shots aren’t your style, El Sancho also serves a variety of exquisite mixed drinks that are “fantastic,” according to Scarlett.

Although El Sancho has only been open for four months, Scarlett said that business has been good. “I think a lot of people, especially

young people, are tired of going to the bars where they’re jammed in like sardines,” he said. “Here, you can sit and actually have a conver-sation, a server will wait on you, and bring you whatever you want.”

El Sancho Mexican Grill and Tequila Bar is located behind Wow Japanese Bistro in the

historic train station. For more information on Dickson Street’s only Mexican restaurant and the widest selection of tequila in the state of Arkansas, visit El Sancho’s facebook page or dealsaroundcampus.com. The facebook page is updated daily and features a listing of their nightly deals.

UA Children’s Choir to Sing at Carnegie Hall

The University of Ar-kansas Children’s Choir (UACC) recently won a nation-wide competition to spend five days sing-ing in New York City in February. They sent in an audition CD, made it to the finals and were one of only four groups in the nation to be awarded the honor of singing in places such as the Statue of Liberty, St. Patrick’s Cathedral and as a grand finale, Carnegie Hall.

The Children’s Choir, which was founded in 1997 by Dr. Dona Wiggins, is currently directed by Can-dace Davis, a Ph.D. can-didate in Curriculum and Instruction at the Universi-ty of Arkansas who teaches music at The New School in Fayetteville.

In the beginning, the choir had only about 30 or 40 students, Davis said, but now it has split into two separate ensembles, each of which has upwards of 60. Choir I is made up of stu-dents in grades 3 through 5, while Choir II involves students from grades 6 through 8. Each choir has

by CARA TURBYFILLStaff Writer

three vocal parts, all treble. Admission to the UACC

is by audition only. Elemen-tary school teachers recom-mend students to participate in auditions, which are held in April or May. This past year, around 350 students auditioned, and only a tenth of that number was ac-cepted.

“We have students from Fayetteville, Springdale, Elkins and Gentry, but not Bentonville, because they have their own children’s choir,” Davis said. We have kids coming in from private schools, public schools and home schools.”

Only the 60-odd students in Choir II are eligible to go on the trip to New York, and out of that number, only 40 get to go because of limited space on the tour bus.

“It was horrible,” Da-vis said, of the process of auditioning and selecting only 40 kids to take on the trip. “Some of the students already knew that they wouldn’t be able to go be-cause of the financial costs involved, though.”

The children and their families are being asked to pay for airfare, but the choir itself is working to raise

the $26,000 they will face in performance costs, some of which stems from the privilege of working directly with Bob Chilcott, the com-poser of “A Little Jazz Mass,” and “The Lily and the Rose,” both of which the students will be performing on the trip.

“I’m really excited,” said eighth-grader Darien Bar-tholomew of the five-day trip to take place Feb. 16-21. “I’ve never been to New York before. I’m taking my mom.”

The UACC travels a lot, and always with heavy parental involvement, given the age of the students in-volved.

“I went to Nashville with them last year,” said Pat Davis, a parent volunteer who herself was a music major at the UA, and now has two children involved in the UACC. She assists the choir by chaperoning trips and taking attendance for rehearsals.

As young as they are, the students are still enthusias-tic about what they do mu-sically. Pat Davis’ youngest daughter, Lori, came home this year after her very first rehearsal in Choir I and told

her mother that she wanted “to be in it forever.”

Benjamin Niemeyer, also an eighth grader, was of a similar opinion. “I love it,” he said. “It’s fun, you know? And it’s educational.”

“It’s our passion,” said McKenzie Edwards, an eighth grade soprano in the choir. “It’s what I do.”

The next performance of Choir I will be at the U A soccer game on Oct. 8. The next concert featuring Choir II will be the LifeSource Benefit Concert on Oct. 24, at First Assembly of God in Springdale.

Anyone wanting more information or wanting to make a donation to the University of Arkansas Children’s Choir can contact Candace Davis at [email protected].

Prices for Steinways range, depending on the size. A Steinway Model B costs around $80,000 while a con-cert grand piano can cost $120,000.

This initiative will cost the UA 1.3 million dollars, all of which will be raised through private support. So far, the UA has raised $200,000. Gifts from individual bene-factors can also be directed to this cause.

“This initiative shows the dedication of the UA to the art and music students,” said Ronda Mains, chair of the music department. “All of our music majors will benefit from this.”

There are less than 15 piano majors now, but the number is growing. Mains predicts that because of these new pianos, there will be more students interested in majoring, she said.

The overall number of music majors and minors is also increasing. There are more than 315 music majors and minors, all of whom have to have proficient skills on the piano.

“The students know how special it is that they get to practice on these pianos,” Margulis said. “They are inspired to practice hours

and hours each day. After all, if you have the opportu-nity to practice on the most beautiful and best instru-ment in the world, you feel encouraged.”

For people who have no musical ear or inclination, the difference between the sounds of a Steinway piano compared to that of any other piano can still be distinguished.

“In this kind of reality, there is a lot of intangible psychological perception which means that they will hear the difference because the pianist plays with the confidence that he or she is playing on the best piano,” he said. “It is like a person driving a very nice car. You might know nothing about cars, but you can still feel the difference.”

Margulis will be playing a piano solo on a Steinway at the UA Symphony Orchestra concert Oct. 11.

“I’m at home when play-ing a Steinway,” he said. “It suggests comfort, familiar-ity and just has unlimited potential. You never have to compromise”

The concert will be at the Walton Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $10 for the general public, $5 for seniors, and $1 for UA students.

tional beer. There are usually between eight and fourteen different beers being brewed at any given time.

“This facility is a landmark and is the only operating brewery in the Northwest Arkansas area,” Larson said on the company’s website. “The architecture is beauti-ful inside and out. The brew-ery itself is top notch and it sports two full kitchens. All that combined with tal-ented chefs, Brewer Mehmet Kadiev, co-owners Julie Sill and me, we feel it will bring something great to the area.”

The proceeds from the event will be donated to several local charities under the broad reaches of the Bikes Blues and BBQ com-munity support vision. Like the famous motorcycle rally, all profits from the event go to needy organizations. Last year’s recipients included Habitat for Humanity, the Muscular Dystrophy As-sociation and Seven Hills Homeless Shelter.

With its wide range of activities and impact on the community, Ericson makes it clear that persons of all ages are encouraged to attend. “It is fun for both adults and kids,” he said. “There is plenty to see and learn for everyone.”

Hog Haus Brewery will host the Dickson Street Oktoberfest on October 16 and it will feature live music, games, and a home brew competition. The grand prize is a brew day at the Hog Haus Brewery.

It would be easy for Ar-kansas’ football team to get lost in the spectacle sur-rounding Cowboys Stadium.

The NFL attendance re-cord was set there, the NBA All-star game was played in the stadium and the 2011 Super Bowl will be played in the venue nicknamed “Jerry World”, after Arkan-sas alum and Dallas Cow-boys owner Jerry Jones.

The Hogs will be a part of the atmosphere Satur-day against Texas A&M in the second edition of the Southwest Classic.

“We’re excited to go back to Dallas. It was a lot of fun last year,” Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino said. “It was a tremendous atmosphere and an unbelievable stadium to play in. We have 26 guys on our roster from the state of Texas that are getting to go back there, and we’re cer-tainly looking forward to it.”

Junior receiver Jarius Wright was one of several Ar-kansas players who stood out in the Razorbacks’ 47- 19 vic-tory over the Aggies last sea-son. Wright made a diving,

31-yard touchdown catch that punctuated the Hogs’ dominating performance.

“It’s going to be great going back for a second time,” Wright said. “The first time was a real mem-orable moment, a mo-ment that I’ll never forget.”

One aspect of the stadium that’s difficult, if not impos-sible, to ignore is the mas-sive, high-definition jum-botron. The 160-by-72-foot screen stretches from 20-yard line to 20-yard line, which makes it the larg-est HDTV in the world.

“I caught myself look-ing up there a lot,” Wright said. “It’s kind of hard to miss. If any play hap-pens you have to look up and watch the jumbotron.”

The screen is the center-piece of the $1.4 billion sta-dium, sophomore defensive end Tenarius Wright said.

“The one main attrac-tion that caught my eye was the jumbotron, I mean it’s from one 20 to the other 20,” Wright said. “You look up in-stead of looking out onto field

Arkansas basketball coach John Pelphrey is on fire.

It’s not because of the hot seat, either, despite con-secutive losing seasons.

In fact, Pelphrey could record a third-straight los-ing season this year and still be around to coach the Hogs in 2011-12.

You don’t fire a coach whose incoming recruiting class is ranked No. 4 in the nation.

Pelphrey, entering his fourth season at Ar-kansas, is tearing it up on the recruiting trail.

He’s scored verbal com-mitments from two high-ly-touted prospects in the last week, adding to an al-ready impressive 2011 class.

The higher-rated of the two new commits is Lepan-to, Ark., combo guard Ra-shad “Ky” Madden (6-foot-5, 195 pounds). Madden is the No. 30 player in the coun-try, according to Scout.com.

Dallas power forward Devonte Abron (6-8, 223) committed to the Hogs on Sunday. Abron has a sev-en-foot wingspan and is ranked the No. 106 player in the country by Rivals.com.

Madden and Abron’s ver-bal commitments round out a class of five players ranked No. 4 in the nation by ESPN.

Florissant, Mo., point guard B.J. Young is the highest-rated player in the Hogs’ haul. The 6-foot-3, 170-pounder is a five-star prospect and the No. 17 play-er nationally, according to Scout.com. Young is light-ning-quick and thrives at finishing around the basket.

The key to the class, though, is the in-state talent. Little Rock forward Aaron Ross (6-7, 225) and Jones-boro power forward Hunt-er Mickelson (6-11, 210) join Madden to form one of the most talented in-state classes in Arkansas history.

The three played AAU bas-ketball together for the Ar-kansas Wings, winning the AAU national championship this summer. Mickelson is still filling out, but uses his length to his advantage. He’s rated the No. 50 player in the coun-try by Scout.com. Ross is the lowest-rated of the three in-state prospects, despite often leading the Wings in scoring.

There’s a very good chance Pelphrey isn’t done stockpiling talent, either.

Dallas forward Antwan Space has taken two visits to Arkansas and could soon be the sixth commitment. The 6-foot-8, 205-pound-er is athletic and has a sol-id outside shot. He’s the No. 76 player in the nation, according to Scout.com.

One of the main ques-tions about the class is where the scholarships will come from for five play-ers, six if Space commits.

Marcus Britt, Jemal Farm-er and Delvon Johnson will graduate this spring. Junior Michael Sanchez is entering his fourth season, but only played in four games last sea-son while struggling with plantar fasciitis. Junior Jeff Peterson redshirted last sea-son after transferring from Iowa and is a standout stu-dent. He and Sanchez could graduate in the spring, free-ing up two more scholarships.

If push comes to shove, Pelphrey can suggest a player on the current roster trans-fers. John Calipari did at Ken-

Most coaches would be worried about their team’s attitude after losing the way No. 11 Arkansas did to top-ranked Alabama

Not Razorbacks’ coach Bobby Petrino.

“I was happy with our bye week,” Petrino said. “I thought we did a nice job. The players continue to impress me, and make it a lot of fun coaching this team because they work extremely hard, and they have good attitudes.”

The Hogs got a bye week after their 24-20 loss to the Crimson Tide. Petrino said he was concerned about how the Razorbacks would

respond after blowing a 13-point lead, but the Hogs showed their mental tough-ness when practice resumed.

“I was really worried go-ing into last Tuesday, but they came out with a great attitude and focus, and I thought, ‘Wow, we’ve really grown up as a football team,’” Petrino said.

The week off allowed in-jured Razorbacks time to recover, while the healthy Hogs repped fundamen-tals, Petrino said. The play-ers came back to practice prepared to prepare for Ar-kansas’ matchup with Tex-as A&M in Arlington, Texas.

“Starting last Tuesday, no one had a bad attitude about having to practice. Every-body came out with enthusi-asm and focus,” junior wide

receiver Jarius Wright said. Wright had his best game

of the season against Ala-bama, catching six pass-es for 131 yards. The War-ren, Ark., native had a 31-yard touchdown grab against Texas A&M last season en route to the Hogs’ 47-19 vic-tory, but said the Aggies won’t be able to key on any one of Arkansas’ receivers.

“We have great receiv-ers so I really don’t expect them to pay any more at-tention to me than usual,” Wright said. “If they’re pay-ing more attention to me, that means it’s opening it up for

The Arkansas women’s soccer team is still looking for its first win in South-eastern Conference play.

The Razorbacks are com-ing off a weekend in which the team lost to a ranked Au-burn squad in the final min-utes and a tough defensive team in Alabama. Arkansas was impressive in the second half against Alabama, netting the first goal allowed by the Crimson Tide in five games.

“We struggled through the first half of the Ala-bama game on Sunday,” Ar-kansas coach Erin Aubry said. “We made some ad-justments at halftime and that was a story of two com-pletely different teams.”

Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett dealt with criticism after throwing two fourth-quarter in-terceptions against Al-abama as the Crimson Tide rallied for the win in the Hogs’ last outing.

Expect the nation’s fifth-ranked passer to get back on track against Texas A&M, although the Aggie defense has only al-lowed 211 yards passing per game through four games. The Aggies have registered 10 takeaways this season. Defensive back Dustin Harris has accounted for two inter-ceptions and two pass de-flections. The Aggies rank eighth in the Big 12 in pass-

ing defense and have yet to face as dynamic of an attack as Arkan-sas’. Four of the Razorbacks’ six touchdowns were through the air in the Southwest Classic last year. Expect more of the same.

Arkansas run o! ense vs. Texas A&M run defense Texas A&M passing o! ense vs. Arkansas pass defense

Arkansas’ rushing attack has been almost non-existent in the ! rst four games of the season. " e running back unit has yet to have a play-er stand out as the lead back and the Hogs rank at the bottom of the Southeastern Conference, averaging only 103 yards rushing per game.

Sophomore Knile Davis got it going against Alabama, gaining 42 yards on just six carries and earning Petrino’s praise. Petrino said he needs to call more running plays and Texas A&M will pro-vide a stout test. " e Aggies lead the Big 12 in rushing defense, allowing just 68 yards per game. Led by linebackers Von Mill-er and Garrick Williams, who have combined for 43 tackles this season, the Aggies have rank third nationally in rushing defense. " e Hogs will have a tough task establishing a rushing attack.

Advantage: Texas A&M

" e Razorbacks’ secondary has been playing strong all year – the Hogs allowed less than 200 yards through the air against Alabama. Ag-gie quarterback Jerrod Johnson has put up big numbers this season, but has been plagued by inconsistency and turnovers. Against Florida In-ternational the 6-foot-5 senior threw four interceptions, and completed just 11-of-31 attempts for 194 yards. Against Louisiana Tech, Johnson was able to reverse his fortune with four touchdowns and 349 yards, completing 25-of-38 attempts. He then turned the ball over ! ve times in

the Aggies’ loss to Oklahoma State." e Razorbacks have not seen a

quarterback with Johnson’s big-play running ability. If the Razorbacks can get a# er Johnson and force him into making quick decisions in the passing game, he’s shown a tendency to make bad choices.

Advantage: Arkansas

Arkansas passing o! ense vs. Texas A&M pass defense Arkansas special teams vs. Texas A&M special teams

Arkansas Special Teams vs. Texas A&M Special TeamsFreshman kicker Zach Hocker has yet to miss a ! eld goal in his young

collegiate career, making all four attempts, but Arkansas continues to lack big plays the return game. Junior Joe Adams has been solid, averaging nearly 13 yards per punt return, but freshman Maudrecus Humphrey has averaged only 18.5 yards per kicko$ return. " e Razorbacks tried receiv-ers Cobi Hamilton and Lance Ray at kicko$ returner during the bye week.

" e Aggies, on the other hand, have gotten big plays and huge returns from their special teams. Running back Cyrus Gray averages 27.2 yards per return, while punt returner Dustin Harris had a 54-yard punt return for a touchdown against Louisi-ana Tech. Kicker Randy Bullock is 6-for-8 on ! eld goals this season, with a long of 40 yards.


Arkansas-Texas A&M PredictionsJimmy Carter, Sports Editor

Arkansas is the second-best team in the SEC. Texas A&M is at best the No. 5 team in the Big 12. " e SEC is hands-down the better conference. You do the math.

Arkansas is looking good. Most people had the Alabama game as one of the Hogs’ few losses. Few have them losing to Texas A&M.


Jordan Grummer, Senior Sta! Writer

Arkansas will come out ! r-ing on all cylinders a# er their late in the game heartbreak loss to Alabama. Quarterback Ryan Mallett will once again prove his place as one of college foot-ball’s best by torching the Aggie defense for 400 plus yards. " is game will be similar to last year’s Southwest Classic when the Ra-zorbacks beat the Aggies 47-19.


Bailey Elise McBride, Editor

TAMU has looked all right this season o! ensively, but have been sliding downhill each week. " e Razorbacks have too much to prove a# er last week’s heart-breaker against Alabama to slip up this week. Aggie quarterback Jer-rod Johnson can also blow up and score four touchdowns, or he can throw four picks. I’ll take the latter.


It’s time to get over the Alabama game, and there’s no better way for the Hog’s to put that game behind them than by beating Texas A&M. Look for the Hog’s to justify being the highest ranked one-loss team in the country by beating the Ag-gies through the air...and maybe even the ground. A&M quarter-back Jerrod Johnson will make a couple of big plays before the Hogs take control of the game.


Coming o$ an emotional loss to Alabama, the Razorbacks will come out ready to redeem themselves in front of the Arlington crowd. " e Hogs’ o$ ense, if they stick with a passing game, should score early and o# en.

Aggie head coach Mike Sherman will be entering his third sea-son as head coach. Sherman has a long history Texas A&M, start-ing when he was the o$ ensive coordinator in 1988. Sherman is an ex-NFL coach who has had stints with the Green Bay Packers and Houston Texans, and his NFL experience has impacted the Aggies. Sherman changed the Aggie o$ ense from a zone read option at-tack to a pro-style o$ ense. In his third year, Sherman is just13-16, but the Aggies did play in the Independence Bowl last season.

Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino has had more experience than Sherman in college football, accumulating a career record of 57-22. Sherman may have a solid NFL coaching pedigree, but Petrino has shown the ability to coach his team to wins at the collegiate level.

tucky. Pelphrey isn’t in a posi-tion to be loyal after posting back-to-back 14-win seasons. College basketball is a busi-ness. Arkansas doesn’t have to decide which 13 players get scholarships for the 2011-12 season until July 1, 2010.

Pelphrey can’t turn down any of the five verbal com-

mitments or Space. They’re too talented. Add Young and Madden to a backcourt with Rotnei Clarke, Rickey Scott and Mardracus Wade, and Pelphrey will have plenty of depth and athleticism to press.

Ross and Space will give the Hogs length and ath-leticism at small forward – something they’ve lacked the last two seasons. Mick-elson and Abron in a front-court with Marshawn Pow-ell sounds pretty good.

Pelphrey is putting the pieces in place for Arkan-sas to become a player on the national scene again.

Kentucky, Duke and North Carolina are the schools alongside the Ra-zorbacks in ESPN’s team recruiting rankings.

Sounds like a list circa 1994.Jimmy Carter is the sports

will be the ! rst time Harter has taken a team to Pre-Nationals.

“We’re going to split our team and run basically two teams,” Harter said. “It will be the ! rst time in my 21 years to participate in Pre-Nationals. " e way the se-lection process is for this year for the NCAA meet, we need to have representation at Pre-Nationals.”

Volleyball Splits Road Trip

" e Arkansas volleyball team’s four-game road trip came to an end Sunday, with the Razorbacks splitting their ! -nal two matches against South Carolina and No. 2 Florida.

Arkansas beat the Game-cocks 3-1, clinching the win in its longest set this season. Arkansas survived four set points and ended the game with a block, winning 31-29.

“We had great maturity on that third set,” Arkansas coach Robert Pulliza said. “Our kids were really patient and execut-

ed, and they really ground it out. It was exciting that we ! nished the set on a play that wasn’t an out-of-bounds ball or a missed shot or anything, it was our ex-ecution on the defensive side.

“I thought we played better than what we had all season long. We keep improving week from week, that’s what it’s all about.”

Kelli Stipanovich had 15 kills against South Carolina and nine kills against Florida, where she hit better than 35 percent.

“I’m really excited about Kel-li’s game,” Pulliza said. “It’s show-ing her maturity as an athlete. She works hard everyday, and it is real-

ly starting to show. She deserves it.”Sophomore Jasmine Norton

surpassed the 700-kill mark on the weekend, becoming the 20th player in program history to do so. Stipanovich eclipsed the 700-kill mark against Georgia on Sept. 17.

" e Razorbacks will con-tinue SEC play with home games against No. 22 Tennes-see (12-3, 4-2 SEC) on Friday and Kentucky on Sunday. Ken-tucky began the season ranked No. 14, but slipped a# er an 8-8 start, including 2-4 in the SEC.

“We’re excited to get back to Barnhill and get back to our fans,” Pulliza said.

ZACHHOCKER

Freshman, KickerRussellville, Ark.

2010: 4-4 FG, 16-16 PAT

Arkansas Traveler senior sta! writer Jordan Grummer kicked it with freshman kicker Zach Hocker. " ey discussed Hocker’s clutch performance through Arkan-sas’ # rst four games and kicking in Cowboys Stadium. Hocker competed for the starting punting job, but was moved to kicker midway through fall camp, beating out senior incumbent Alex Tejada and freshman Eddie Camara for the starting job.

What’s it been like coming in and starting as a freshman?

I’m super thankful that I’ve had the opportunity to come in here and kick and to have a start like this has really helped my con! -dence. Hopefully every kick I just have that mindset that it’s going to go in. Hitting those two deep ones de! nitely helped my con! dence.

What was it like at Georgia when they tried to ice you?

It was a big time atmosphere, I mean 90,000 people is pretty loud, but I’ve been iced before and it’s a little bit di$ erent when you get to the SEC level, but it was kind of cool to ! nally experience it and it going in was a good feeling.

You seem like a cool customer on the ! eld, how do you go about handling yourself like that?

Just try to stay calm and focus on your technique and don’t try to make it seem like a big deal. Just go out there and do your best and hope it goes in.

You make it sound easy, how do you do that?

I’ve been kicking since junior high and now being in colelge its what I focus on every day. I just come out here and go along working out and trying to get better.

" ey didn’t have you in the kicking competition when camp started and now you’re the starter, do you look back and shake your head at how that all unfolded.

Yeah that was kind of a weird deal, but I mean, Dylan, Alex, my-self, Eddie, and all of the walk on kickers have been super super good just pushing each other at practice and I was just fortunate enough that I got to kick and I got the opportunity. It worked out for me.

How good will it be to get into Cowboy’s Stadi-um on Friday and get the “awe-factor” out of the way early?

It is good getting in there early and shaking your nerves out and trying to stay calm. We just have to remember what we’re there to do and put it through. I’ve seen it from the outside but i’ve never been inside, but from what I’m hearing from all the players it’s a new world in there, so I’m excited to play.


!It’s an exciting time

in professional sports. The NFL is rolling along,

the MLB playoffs have started, and the NBA has begun train-ing camp. That’s all fine and dandy, but the most exciting of the sports is begins Thursday.

Hear me out.The NHL drops the first

puck of the season Thurs-day with a five-game slate. The next seven months will be filled with the fast-est, hardest and most in-tense action in all of sports.

Think about it. Football has a lot of breaks in the ac-tion. A lot. There are team timeouts, referee timeouts and media timeouts. The clock stops after some plays, and af-ter every play, there is an al-lotted 40 seconds of time be-fore any action has to resume.

The NBA has the same timeouts and the same half-time, but also feature free

throws, with the same time-sucking ability of black holes.

And baseball, don’t even get me started on baseball. I watch the Cubs when I can’t sleep.

Not the NHL. Not ice hockey. Action zooms up and down the ice, and when players get tired, there isn’t a timeout. There isn’t a clock-stoppage for a substitution. They switch players on the fly. A few hop the bench and a few hop on the ice.

That keeps the action moving and the fans watch-ing. And what are the fans rewarded with at the end of the game? A winner!

The NHL outlawed ties beginning in 2005 when it adopted a shootout format. If the game is tied at the end of regulation and an over-time period, the outcome is determined by a shootout – one of the most exciting fin-ishes in sports. Shootouts are what made the Mighty Ducks movies so awesome.

And my goodness, there are people on the team who are paid to fight. They are given the conspicuous moni-ker of “enforcer.” But they are fighters – guys whose job is to protect the team’s star and to make sure no one gets away with any funny business.

The fight doesn’t come with an expulsion from the game, a suspension or, unless it’s real-ly bad, even a fine. So what’s

the punishment? A 10-min-ute timeout. You don’t get to play for 10 minutes. Boo-hoo.

In fact, the NHL is such a league of tough-guys the rule book has guidelines for the following in-game mishaps: “fighting after the original altercation, fighting off the playing surface, fighting oth-er than during periods of the game, kicking, head butting, elbowing and slew-footing”.

What is slew-footing? Ac-cording to the NHL official rule book: “Slew-footing is the act of a player or goal-keeper using his leg or foot to knock or kick an oppo-nent’s feet from under him, or pushes an opponent’s up-per body backward with an arm or elbow, and at the same time with a forward motion of his leg, knocks or kicks the opponent’s feet from under him, causing him to fall violently to the ice.”

Read that again: fall violently to the ice.

Many of you might not agree with any of this. If you haven’t seen a NHL game, you probably don’t. But if you have seen one, espe-cially live, you know exact-ly what I’m talking about.

Fast, non-stop, vi-olent action?

Sounds exciting. Danny Meyer is the assis-

tant sports editor for The Ar-kansas Traveler. His column appears every Wednesday.

COMMENTARY

when someone makes a play.”The Razorbacks will ar-

rive in Dallas a day ear-ly to get the “awe-fac-tor” of the stadium out of the way, Petrino said.

“There’s no question that (the stadium) is quite amaz-

ing,” Petrino said. “We’ll do a Hoosiers if we need to. Measure the field and the goal post so they’ll all know it’s the same size as it is here and go play football.”

Having a game in the Dallas area is important for the Hogs’ recruiting ef-forts in the state of Tex-as. The Razorbacks have 26 players from the Lonestar

State and the 10-year se-ries with Texas A&M has al-ready had a positive impact.

“I think we felt the bene-fits right from the announce-ment when young men un-derstand that they get to go back home and play. It’s fun for all of us,” Petrino said. “There’s no question that it’s a good deal for our program.”

Greg Childs or Joe Adams.” The Aggies surren-

dered 434 yards of total of-fense to the Hogs last sea-son, but have looked much-improved this year. Texas A&M held Oklahoma State, who ranks third national-ly in total offense with 534 yards per game, to 351 yards last week. The Aggies are one of only three teams nation-ally to rank in the top 20 in both offense and defense.

Texas A&M installed a new defense this year under first-year defensive coordina-tor Tim DeRuyter, but it won’t be the first time Petrino has been exposed to DeRuyter’s system. He got a glimpse at

DeRuyter’s 3-4 scheme while on a recruiting trip with his son, Bobby, while DeRuyter was coaching at Air Force.

“I try to pick up anything I can,” Petrino said. “You know that show on T.V., Hoard-ers? That’s how I am with football. (DeRuyter) saw me, too. There was no doubt he saw me reach over and grab a couple of sheets of paper in the back and take notes as he was showing his video.”

The Aggies are talented on offense, starting with athletic quarterback Jerrod Johnson. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound-er has been turnover-prone this season, though, throw-ing eight interceptions and losing two fumbles in the Ag-gies’ last two games. John-son threw an interception which allowed Oklahoma

State to kick the game-win-ning field goal in the Aggies’ 38-35 road loss last week.

Johnson will pose some problems for the Hogs’ de-fense, sophomore defensive end Tenarius Wright said.

“He’s not a quarterback that will really beat you with his feet, but he will beat you by turning the defen-sive back’s eyes back down-field instead of on their re-ceiver, and he makes big plays,” Tenarius said. “We have to contain him and make some things happen.”

The Hogs forced Johnson to fumble twice last season, one caused when Wright blasted Johnson from the blind side.

“As I looked back at my highlights from last season, I dream about another hit like that all the time,” Wright said.

tions in the Hogs’ 24-20 loss to No. 1 Alabama.

ence games in the final min-utes of the match. Against Auburn, the Hogs allowed a goal in the 87th minute that propelled the Tigers to a 3-2 victor. Tennessee scored the game-winning goal in the

88th minute of its 2-1 win. “Finishing is an art

form,” Aubry said. “You talk about finishers, that finish-ing has to come naturally to them just like a talent is natural in an artist that cre-ative form has to be there.

The Hogs will take on Vanderbilt on Friday and will host Kentucky on Saturday.

“Vanderbilt has had a frus-trating year a bit like we are,” Aubry said. “They are a far better soccer team than they have been on paper. Kentucky is a program that is on the same track that we are, try-ing to build into a successful spot in the SEC. They have pretty much revamped their entire team since last year.”
