Dance, music, art and paint will be fused into the “worlds largest paint party”, the high-energy Life In Color con-cert, at the AMP !ursday, Oct. 18.

Tickets for the Life In Color concert cost $42, al-though they were previously $36 to $38, said Beth Goodwin, public relations manager for Walton Arts Center.

“I heard about this event on Facebook and got my tickets soon a"er I heard about it. !e concert seems like it is going to be a great experience, have great music, a lot of music and colorful paint splashed on you,” said Israel Reyes, freshman business major.

Life In Color, formerly DayGlow, began as a college campus tra-dition in 2006 on campuses in Florida, according to dayglowtour.com.

DJs Savoy & David Solano will be performing. Gates will open at 7 p.m. at the AMP at the Washington County

Fairgrounds and participants must be at least 18–years-old to at-tend the event and identi#cation will be checked at the gate. Glow sticks and backpacks will not be allowed and participants are ad-vised to wear white, according to the Walton Arts Center website.

Life In Color has grown each year in attendance, line-up and production. Life In Color, Orlando at the UCF Arena set a record for U.S. performances with over 5,500 fans in attendance and sold out days before the performance. Starting o$ their international tour, Life In Color in Cancun 2010 sold out its #rst show outside the U.S. with over 4,300 people, according to dayglowtour.com.

!e entertainment company Committee Entertainment found-ed Life In Color.

“Committee Entertainment transformed the “worlds largest paint party” from a small college tradition into one of the worlds premiere live concerts. Life In Color is now in over 30 cities in the U.S. and #ve countries,” according to the committeeEnt.com

On !ursday, Oct. 18, Life in Color (formerly Dayglow), the “world’s largest paint party,” will be at the Arkansas Music Pavilion as part of their 2012: !e E.N.D. (Electronic Never Dies) tour. Starting as a college tradition in Florida back in 2006, Life in Color has since evolved into a world-renowned live concert. Having sold out over 70 shows last year, the show now features DJs, soaring aerial acts, stilt-walk-ers, contortion acts, #re shows and paint-blasting cannons, bringing the best of the rave world and the circus world together into one wildly eccentric evening. !e epic psych-up on the o%cial &yer, which might have been written by one of Tyler Durden’s Trance-head understudies, ri$s on Mayan-borne apocalypse supersti-tion: “While this may mark the end of an era, we believe as the year draws to a close, the world is only gearing up for a new day … To every beginning there is an end, and

a chance for rebirth. Because in the E.N.D., we are not our jobs, our failures, or our fears, we are every note of every song that made us close our eyes, reach for the sky and know we were home.” Life in Color also asserts they are “taking a uni#ed stance and upholding their be-liefs” that “love, expression, music, creativ-ity, and most of all, paint, will be the only force that will survive into the next genera-tion of a life in color.” !e exact meanings of these phrases are certainly open to in-terpretation, but for the casual or profes-sional raver, the message is clear: !ere will be wild electronic music, wild electronic paint and wild electronic dancing, a haven for rave freaks &avored by the freaks of the circus. Alongside the Caravanserai ensemble and Tokyo String Quartet mentioned in last week’s weekender, several Texas-based country and singer/songwriter musicians are playing at George’s Majestic Lounge this weekend, starting with Pat Green on Friday, Oct. 19. Known for the Billboard-topping single “Wave on Wave,” Pat Green

is touring in support of his new album, “Songs We Wish We’d Written II,” which features reworkings of classic songs by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, War-ren Haynes, Collective Soul, Aaron Lee Tasjan and a couple of fellow Texas song-writers. !e band’s o%cial biography as-serts, regarding the new album, that songs like ”Galilee,” “Soulshine,” “Jesus On A Greyhound” and the imagery in “Austin” all come together and “combine to form a spiritual undercurrent on the album akin to the message of Green’s biggest hit, ‘Wave On Wave.’” !e next night, Oct. 20, Texas-based James McMurtry, the singer, songwriter, guitarist, bandleader and occasional ac-tor, will be playing George’s with opening act Joe Pug. McMurtry has played with John Mellencamp, Joe Ely, John Prine and Dwight Yoakam and has received the high-est praise from Mellencamp, as well as from Michael Nesmith, numerous news networks and entertainment publications. But, most interestingly, McMurtry’s music has been highly acclaimed by American

horror novelist Stephen King, who includ-ed McMurtry’s song “Talkin’ at the Texaco” in his 2009 novel “Under the Dome.” King said to Entertainment Weekly, “!e simple fact is that James McMurtry may be the tru-est, #ercest songwriter of his generation.” Bridging from King, the semi-anticipated “Paranormal Activity 4” premieres in the-aters this weekend. As of Oct. 16, rotten-tomatoes.com has landed the movie with a 44 percent approval rating and a big green splat. Scott Weinberg, writing for FEAR-net, remarks that in “PA4,” “!ere’s some fun to be had, but we’ve o%cially reached the ‘for fans only’ stage of this particular horror franchise.” !is is, of course, one of the more polite reviews o$ered of the #lm; however, to gear up for Halloween, maybe a string of spooks like this is exactly what the (witch) doctor ordered. And, a"er all, according to the #lm tagline, “All the activ-ity has led to this.” !ink about all of the activity that has occurred — if it really has all led up to this #lm, watching it has to at least o$er some sort of catharsis, right?

Parts of the world might be on the brink of calamity, but that is not stopping students from studying abroad.

An incident that received attention worldwide was the violent protests in Cairo, Egypt

residents of dorms in Cairo as students were ordered to remain in their rooms. Several study abroad students of Georgetown University recall the hostility of the community, said Jenna Johnson, a writer for the Wash-ington Post.

Two days later, the students who were to attend American University in Cairo were evacu-ated, according to the Washing-ton Post.

Even so, study abroad and international exchange is more popular than ever before with more than 200,000 participants in the U.S. alone, according to the Open Doors Report on International Educational Ex-change.

Study abroad staff and stu-dents with experience stress the importance of preparation and caution on trips. Doing simple things such as discussing what to expect with staff mem-bers and reviewing the Study Abroad Handbook — available on studyabroad.uark.edu — can make a difference, said Jinny

studied abroad in Italy and the Netherlands.

“Open Doors is an annual report on international educa-tion published by the Institute of International Education (IIE) in New York, with support from the Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. De-

-

with the Institute of Internation-al Education. “The report pro-vides statistics on study abroad participation by U.S. students and international student enroll-ment at U.S. institutions.”

With 12 staff members dedi-cated to study abroad, UA of-

the program can provide. “Not only did it open my

mind to a more global perspec-tive, it also gave me a deeper understanding of the different kinds of people and cultures that exist outside of America,” John Tucker a UA student studying in Vaxjo, Sweden said on the study abroad website. “I can say without a doubt that my semester abroad has been a tru-ly enriching and inspiring part of my life.”

One RSO, the Study Abroad -

cally designed for students in-terested in studying abroad or for students who have already studied abroad.

“We want to provide a re-source for students that are studying abroad and be a com-munity for students who al-ready studied abroad,” said

student association president. Putney studied in Spain last

semester. “It taught you to be more

independent and to see cultures from a different perspective,” she said. “You see so much in so little time.”

Study abroad also gives participants the opportunity to sharpen their skills on a new language and effectively de-velop and enhance students learning experience, while gaining new insights and out-looks through new relation-ships, Haley Herrington, a UA student said on the study abroad website.

“If you spend your time in a foreign country watching TV or keeping to yourself, you won’t maximize this unique oppor-tunity. If and when you study abroad, go into the country with an open mind and appreci-ate the rich diversity the world has to offer,” said Herrington, who studied in Germany.

Perceptions over a par-ticular region can change if students dive into the culture, students said.

“I did not know what to expect when we arrived in Jordan. Americans hear of the

-ferently than other travel des-tinations,” said Chris White, anthropology graduate student with the UA Field School in Jordan, according to the UA study abroad website. “Our perception of that area is more

akin to a different planet with hostile inhabitants than a geo-graphical region with a rich cultural heritage.”

Hopping on a jet and enroll-ing in some foreign university

preparation can lead to an “amazing” new worldliness, Jared Park, a UA student said.

“During the course of the trip, I found myself doing in-credible things that I had never done before. Studying abroad in Greece was an amazing ex-perience, but it would have never had happen without preparation,” Park said on the study abroad website.

Two former Arkansas Razorback football players were sentenced to six months

-tion for their involvement in on-campus burglaries.

-

drew Peterson each pleaded guilty to one count resi-dential burglary and were sentenced Wednesday by Judge William Storey in the Washington County Circuit

-phrey, another player, was not sentenced today because his court date was moved to

Wade, Peterson and Hum-

and were each charged with three Class B felony counts for residential burglary and one Class D felony count for theft of property.

Head football coach John L. Smith said he does not think the burglaries will af-fect the football team, be-cause those arrested are not currently on the team.

“I think it’s a tribute to

our guys, our football team,” said head football coach John L. Smith during an interview before the former players’ August court appearances. “I think they’re used to dealing with that a little bit because of what took place dur-ing spring ball, so they’ve learned to put that aside, and we’ve tried to tell them you

have to be like a racehorse, you have to have blinders on, don’t be focusing on the things that are peripheral be focused on one goal.”

The former players stole laptops, DVDs, books and cash worth more than $4,800 from rooms in the Northwest Quads residence hall, during

-cording to the arrest report.

The UAPD received 10 reports of missing items from rooms in the Quads; the items were subsequently found in Peterson’s North-west Quad suite, according to the report.

At a court hearing June 27, the three pleaded not guilty on all counts. Hum-phrey is scheduled to appear

Chartwells will be offer-ing students coupons, half-price deals and free T-shirts this week as part of the of-ficial grand opening of the Union Au Bon Pain and Freshens.

Although it has been open for business before fall break, Chartwells officials decided to use this event as a way of promoting the ad-ditions and celebrating the reopening of RZ’s, said Kim Johnson, marketing director for Chartwells.

“Everyone has been really excited about it,” Johnson said.

The store has been ex-tremely well received by stu-

dents so far, Johnson said. During fall break, there

were students who came to Freshens and ate frozen yo-gurt on the patio, Johnson said.

“I have also seen faculty and staff stop by Au Bon Pain and get a sandwich or soup to take home,” she said.

Although there were many other coffee options available on campus while RZ’s was closed for reno-vations, students said they especially missed the atmo-sphere this particular venue had provided.

“I missed RZ’s because it was just so big and open, compared to Starbucks,” said Page Summers, sophomore English major.

Junior Courtney Parlin said RZ’s was her spot last year to study and hang out

between classes. She said she was thrilled when it finally reopened and was definitely in favor of the new addi-tions.

“I love it,” Parlin said. “I love that it’s bigger and that now RZ’s offers more than just coffee; now people can buy smoothies, crepes and sandwiches as well.”

With the expansion of the location, there are now two areas available for seat-ing. The extra seating is nice because there is more space to hang out, and it is less crowded and not as loud, Summers said.

It is still a great place to come and study between classes, Parlin said. She likes to go to the Freshens side to study because that side still has the original RZ’s furni-ture, Parlin said.

Students said the opening of Au Bon Pain and Fresh-ens are a nice addition to the university because they also offer healthy lunch options outside the cafeterias.

A vegetarian selection at Au Bon Pain is a plus, said Keleigh Hibbard, junior bi-ology major.

“I saw a lot of people fil-ing into the café after class and when I saw the three or four different vegetarian sandwiches on the menu, I decided to try it,” Hibbard said.

The reopening of RZ’s has not had an effect on the business of the Union Market, Johnson said. The Union Market is still a very popular option for students to eat lunch, and RZ’s seems to be a popular spot for stu-dents to relax in the morn-ings and afternoons between classes, Johnson said.

Even before !ipping their tassels during high school graduation, students are asked what they want to do with their life. What will be your major? Career? "en, their college paths are cus-tomized accordingly.

"e UA has certain core requirements for graduation. Science, English, math, #ne arts/humanities, U.S. his-tory and social sciences are the areas that have a manda-tory number of hours, with a grand total of 35.

In each subject area, there is a list of courses for stu-dents to choose from, which allows students to further tailor their educational plans. Aside from Composition one and two for English, there are options in every subject.

"e classes which #ll re-quirements but aren’t neces-

sary for students’ majors are usually piled into the #rst few semesters. "ey’re taken, and then forgotten to make room for “more important” things.

Americans tend to sub-scribe to the attitude that they don’t need to learn something unless it will be important in everyday life. General trivia isn’t held in especially high esteem.

It’s not that the knowl-edge isn’t important; rather, there will be somebody else who knows it. If those people aren’t around, there’s always Google. We treat knowledge with cavalier indi$erence.

Hundreds of years ago, scholars learned things in every #eld of study. "ey dabbled in history, math, sci-ence, philosophy and then wrote books on what they learned. Since there was a limited amount of knowl-edge available in the world, it was actually possible to know everything.

Today, with the advance in technology and the new information available, this isn’t an option. Specializa-tion has become a necessity. People must choose their area of expertise whether it’s #nancial advisement to the real estate market, or knowl-edge of the mating dance of African dwarf frogs. Every

conceivable #eld has a spe-cialist.

As students progress through their educational career, their courses become more and more speci#ed, with the number of general courses they take slowly dwindling.

By the time graduation rolls around, students will have forgotten most of the general information that they needed to know to get through their core require-ments.

In their general courses, students memorize the infor-mation long enough to pass and then promptly forget it. It’s lost in the oblivion of things you used to know.

Why is this a problem? Just watch a segment of Jay-walking o$ of "e Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

In these clips, Jay Leno takes to the street and asks Americans general knowl-edge questions, such as “Which country would you #nd the Panama Canal in?” Or “What countries border the United States?” And #-nally, my favorite, “Who was the #rst president of the United States?”

Surprisingly, China isn’t home to the Panama Canal. If you answered Australia and Hawaii as the countries making up the U.S. borders,

you’d be zero for two. Presi-dent Ben Franklin is a bit o$ the mark.

Sadly, Americans actually gave these answers.

"ere’s a growing trend to forget the things you strug-gled with during school and then make excuses when in-competencies come to light down the line.

Should it be alright to say “Well I never claimed to be a math genius” when you have to whip out your phone to multiply six and three? Or to shrug when the grammatical di$erence between “your” and “you’re” continues to elude you?

Nobody can be expected to be an expert at everything, however, that shouldn’t be an excuse to forget information that’s nonessential to your major. Learning for its own sake isn’t a bad thing.

"ere is a list of core class-es for a reason – this is some of the basic information that students need to know. You may never use it in your pro-fession, but perhaps remem-bering these classes will keep you from winding up as a Jaywalking all-star.

When I think of capital punishment, I think of Cil-lian Murphy’s role in the lat-est Batman movie: “Death or exile…? Death by exile it is.” While we do not live in an apocalyptic Gotham that Bane rules, what are some of the issues with the death penalty in our society?

Some arguments for the death penalty are that it is cheaper than life in prison, it upholds the law system and the consoles the family. Arguments for abolishing capital punishment say that it gives power to government that it should not have. It ac-tually costs more than life in prison. It is also classist (for

people that cannot a$ord a good attorney) and racist. You can #nd more informa-tion relating to both sides at www.procon.org.

A couple weeks ago, a man named Ray Krone gave a lecture at Gi$els Audito-rium. Krone is the 100th death row inmate to be set free a%er being found inno-cent since the reinstatement of capital punishment in the United States in 1976. When I went to Krone’s lecture, he scared me a little bit with what he said. In Arizona, 1991, a woman’s body was found in a bar where she worked. "e only evidence the prosecution had to go o$ was bite marks, and a witness saying that Ray Krone had helped her close the bar up the night before.

A bite-mark “expert” de-termined that the bite marks were Krone’s, matching Sty-rofoam that he had willingly bit, knowing of his inno-cence. ("is was before DNA testing.) He was sentenced to death in 1992. Later re-vealed, is that the prosecu-tion paid the bite mark ex-pert $50,000 to testify a%er their #rst choice declared the

marks a mismatch. Cases like these are “make-or-break” for prosecuting attorneys.

Fortunately, he had a cousin who was able to get him a good lawyer (that cost a ridiculous amount of mon-ey — his cousin personally spent $100,000 to pay for the attorney) to appeal his case in 1994. "inking for sure he would be freed, once again the prosecution was able to convince the jury to convict him, however the judge re-duced his sentence to life, doubting his involvement in the crime.

It was not until 2002, that DNA evidence exoner-ated him from the crime. Not surprisingly, the DNA matched the woman’s ex-husband who was in jail at the time for sexual assault. He had not been considered as a suspect in 1991.

A few issues stuck out to me in this whole situation. "roughout the trials, the prosecuting attorney never turned away from his stance, regardless of the facts.

As Krone’s charges were being dropped, the prosecu-tion was already trying to cut a deal with the actual crimi-

nal to say that Krone aided him.

Krone was never reim-bursed for his money nor did the prosecution ever issue an apology.

What kind of justice sys-tem has prosecutors that will do anything for themselves?

Ray Krone was lucky, too. Not everyone could a$ord an attorney or have access to DNA evidence. Only about 15 percent of cases of access to DNA, according to Wit-ness to Innocence.

Something needs to be done in our judicial system. Otherwise, any one of us could be on death row to-morrow.

"e story Krone told does not match the motto we hear: “innocent until proven guilty.” It is hard to fathom that at this point in the judi-cial system.

"ings are never black and white, and I do not know that there is any piece of log-ic that will ever o$er us the rightful opportunity to take someone else’s life.

When two presidential candidates battle roughly to a tie in a debate, is there a winner?

Did President Obama win on Tuesday simply because he was able to hold his own this time on the debate stage with Mitt Romney? Did Romney win because the momentum he had built during the last two weeks wasn’t completely reversed?

A second loss would have been disastrous for the president’s campaign. But this time, a di$erent Obama showed up. "e president was feisty, assertive and energized. He questioned Romney’s arithmetic; he attacked his opponent’s honesty; he reminded voters of the severely conservative positions Romney took during his long quest for the GOP nomination, and he rebutted Republican attacks on his record. “Governor Romney doesn’t have a #ve-point plan,” Obama charged. “He has a one-point plan — and that plan is to make sure folks at the top play by a di$erent set of rules.”

And yet, for all that, the Long Island town meeting wasn’t a knockout for Obama. "e relentlessly on-message Romney who surprised Obama in Denver showed up again on Tuesday, and scored plenty of the same points.

“"e president’s policies haven’t put people back to work,” he said. “We don’t have to live like this. ... My priority is jobs. I know how to make that happen.

“If you elect President Obama, you know what you’re going to get. You’re going to get a repeat of the last four years,” he said.

"e central exchanges of the debate played out like a slugfest between two boxers with very di$erent styles but roughly equal strength. Romney attacked Obama’s record, especially on the economy; Obama responded by attacking Romney’s credibility.

So where does that leave us? "e candidates’ second debate con#rmed what polls were already telling us: "e campaign has returned to its pre-convention deadlock, a race that’s within a single percentage point nationwide and too close to call in battleground states such as Ohio and Virginia.

For that reason, if I had to

call the debate, I’d give it to Obama — not on substance but on what it did for his prospects. For a week or so, it appeared that Romney was gaining momentum above and beyond the bump he got from his upset victory in the #rst debate. Enthusiasm was leaching out of Democratic ranks at the very moment they needed to rally volunteers to hector their voters to the polls. "at erosion has probably now been stopped. And Obama had good moments on at least two important issues.

"e president largely won an exchange over equal pay for women — the quintessential swing voters in this election — noting that he signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act into law over the opposition of many Republicans. Romney argued that his record as governor of Massachusetts, when he took pains to include women in his Cabinet and get them home in time for dinner, was female-friendly, but it sounded distinctly second-best.

And Obama used a tough question about inadequate security at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, to man up.

“I’m the president and I’m always responsible,” he said, adding that the suggestion that his administration was playing politics with the issue “when we lost four of our own ... (was) o$ensive.”

"e president capitalized, as well, on a rash decision by Romney to volunteer that contrary to popular belief, “I care about 100 percent of the American people.” "at gave Obama the opening he needed, in the #nal moments of the debate, to remind voters of Romney’s disastrous assertion that 47 percent of Americans are dependent on the government and short on personal responsibility.

“"ink about who he was talking about,” Obama said. “Folks on Social Security. Veterans who have sacri#ced for their country. ... I want to #ght for them.”

An ancient rule of politics holds that it is better to be lucky than smart. In Tuesday’s debate, both candidates turned in smart performances – but Obama was also lucky.

His campaign can only hope that was an omen for the remaining three weeks of the campaign.

Every time I think of the phrase “Oh captain, my captain,” I start to get chills and that is all I will say to avoid spoiling the ending of this !lm. "is is a wonderful story of upper-class private school students standing up to their parents and their school in order to live a life they want to live.

Rudy I am usually not a fan of sports !lms considering how

many of these !lms use a similar formula to tell a story. How-ever, this true story of a young working-class kid, who wants to attend Notre Dame and play football regardless of his set-backs, has always transcended the sport to me.

Good Will Hunting I suppose you could say that I love stories about working-

class kids rising to the top of their peers. Matt Damon and Ben A#eck composed a wonderful story about a young man named Will Hunting who is brilliant beyond belief and grew up on the rough side of Boston. His struggle to overcome his personal demons while balancing his love life provides a wonderful conclusion.

Hannah and Her Sisters Out of this list, this !lm falls most closely under the genre

of Romantic Comedy. Woody Allen’s !lms are usually a bit too cynical for my taste, but this !lm feels more like a light-hearted Nora Ephron comedy than Allen’s previous !lms such as Annie Hall.

!e Breakfast Club "is is a !lm that takes you back to being a teenager and

look longingly at a much more simple time where the big-gest problem in your life might have been pulling a !re alarm. Beyond the simple problems these characters face the idea of breaking down barriers and accepting people regardless of what group he or she might belong to is always an important message and this !lm does it best.

Growing up we always hear, “there’s a time and place for everything.” Well, in fashion, there is as well. "e theory of dressing for every occasion, whether it’s casual, business or formal attire, may not be new to you, but the idea of making it your own may be quite for-eign.

For every setting, there is a di$erent category of dress and set of expectations that ac-company it. With the resources and knowledge on how to appear in any envi-ronment, you will surely stand out amongst the crowd.

"e simplest form of dress is casual and re-quires little to no explanation at all. All it takes is being yourself. "e only suggestion or tip that would be helpful is that although wearing sweats every day is more comfortable, you’d be surprised how much more attentive you will be in class when you are fully dressed.

Semi-casual is a little more technical but has gray area as far as the rules that apply. For

women, the main staple pieces that are useful are blouses and trousers. Since it is just semi-casual

dress, you have a wide range of free-doms when it comes to colors, tex-tures and lengths to express yourself. For men, semi-casual allows you to wear polo shirts, button-downs and khaki pants, and, most important-ly, you don’t have to wear a tie.

When going out for a part-time job, semi-casual dress is al-ways the way to go. Although the part-time job may just be retail or food service, looking present-able can make a di$erence in you standing out from the other applicants.

Many have heard the saying, “dress for the job you need, not the job you want,” but I suggest

dressing for the job you do want. "is may seem like an unorthodox sug-

gestion, but dressing for the job you ultimately want to have will motivate you to be more am-bitious. Business attire consists mostly of neutral and navy pieces with mild accent colors thrown in from time to time. Pinstripe suits, blazers and ties are the traditional pieces worn by men. To bring some life to business dress, I would sug-gest a tie or dress shirt in a vibrant color worn separately, not together. "ese simple choices in dress you make can show your individuality to employers.

Blazers, knee-length skirts and closed-toe

heels may seem basic, but there are de!nite ways women can spice up an out!t for an interview. Blazers in colors such as red, royal blue or green are great ways to make an out!t stand out from the crowd. Also, pops of color in clutches or heels can give an individual %air to an otherwise sub-dued out!t.

Formal dress is the most elegant of all cloth-ing categories and allows its wearers to transform and be almost anyone they could imagine. "ere are only a few parameters you have to stick within when attending formal or “black-tie” a$airs. "e basic requirements are a tuxedo for males and a full-length gown for ladies, unless a cocktail dress is allowed.

Now that you know the requirements, you pretty much have all the freedom you want in personalizing your attire. Although you have cre-ative freedom when choosing your dress, ladies, remember to !nd a color that compli-ments your skin and hair. Furthermore, choose an appropriate !t and length that will not drown or take away from your !g-ure. In addition, if your dress has been hemmed and is still too long, opt in for a higher heel to li& you up and avoid that embarrassing possibility of snag-

ging your dress. Guys, we don’t have much wiggle room with

our formal wear as far as color, but we have tons of options in the area of !t. For a more slender male, Italian-cut tuxes are the total way to go. "ey will create shape, provide de!nition and give the appearance of muscle tone that standard tuxes normally don’t provide.

European straight-cut tuxes are a great choice for the muscular guy with a large upper body. "ese provide comfort in the arms and shoulders while also showing o$ the physique that you work so hard for. Even though most formal events are strictly black-tie, take advantage of those chances to wear a funky-colored bow tie to an event when possible to grab a little bit more attention.

Casual, business and formal attire are three di$erent yet equal aspects of

dress that allow you to be the most versatile member you can be in the land of fashion. And even if you don’t care about living in the land of fashion, just trying something new with your normal routine may make all the di$erence in how your event turns out.

Once you know the basics about the categories of dress, everything else is a piece of cake. Just remember your body is your canvas and your clothes are your paint, so the only thing le& to do is create.

FOOTBALL

!e 2013 Razorback base-ball schedule was announced Wednesday. !e schedule fea-tures 34 regular season home games, including 17 of the "rst 21 games of the season.

!e Hogs will play 22 games against teams that made the NCAA Tournament in 2012, including matchups with New Mexico, Oklahoma and Missouri State.

“I think it’s a very com-petitive schedule,” head coach Dave Van Horn said.

!e Razorbacks open the season with an eight-game homestand beginning Friday, Feb. 15. !e Hogs host West-ern Illinois for a three-game weekend series to open the season.

Arkansas will then host the University of New Or-leans for a midweek series followed by a weekend series against Evansville.

!e Razorbacks will travel to Surprise, Ariz., to compete

in the Coca-Cola Classic, hosted by Arizona State. Ar-kansas will play four games in the tournament between Feb. 28 and March 3.

!e Hogs return home for a four-game series March 7-10 against San Diego State, which is coached by Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn.

“We have a tough early-season tournament at Arizo-na State where we’ll face some quality competition, and the next week we come home and play a good San Diego State team for four games,” Van Horn said. “We’ll know a lot more about where we stand a#er those eight games.”

!e Razorbacks will play a midweek series against Ala-bama A&M March 12 and 13 before opening Southeast-ern Conference play at home against the Ole Miss Rebels.

In addition to Ole Miss, Arkansas will face conference foes Mississippi State, LSU, Texas A&M and Tennessee at Baum Stadium.

“I think our home con-ference schedule is about as good as it gets,” Van Horn

said. “All "ve teams coming to Baum Stadium are quality opponents. As far as the fans are concerned, this should be a real popular home confer-ence schedule.”

!e Razorback’s road SEC schedule includes South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky and Auburn.

Arkansas will play one game in Central Arkansas at Dickey-Stephens Park in North Little Rock. !e game is part of a two-game mid-week series against Missis-sippi Valley State, the "rst of which will be played at Baum Stadium.

“I’m glad it worked out for us to be able to play a game in Central Arkansas this sea-son,” Van Horn said. “It gives the fans in that area of the state a chance to see us play without having to drive too far. !ere’s been a great re-sponse with a packed stadium each of the last three years.”

!e 2013 SEC Baseball Tournament will be played May 21-26 at Regions Park in Hoover, Ala., and the NCAA Tournament begins May 30.

BASEBALL

!e Garrett Uekman Foun-dation announced Monday an agreement with the UA to fund a $100,000 endowed me-morial scholarship for Arkan-sas Razorback Athletics.

UA Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Je$ Long attended the signing ceremony in Little Rock, along with Uek-man’s parents, Danny and Mi-chelle, and sister, Meagan.

One Razorback athlete will be honored with the scholar-ship each year when it is com-pletely funded. Football play-ers, speci"cally tight ends and former walk-ons, will receive extra consideration, but all UA student-athletes are eligible for the scholarship.

“We are grateful to Dan-ny, Michelle, Meagan and the Uekman Foundation for helping Razorback Athletics further meet its mission of developing student-athletes to their fullest potential through intercollegiate athletics,” Long said Monday.

Before coming to Arkansas, Uekman attended Little Rock Catholic High School, where he excelled in baseball, basket-ball and football. In the spring of 2010, he signed to play foot-ball for the Razorbacks.

ATHLETICS

Logan Webster Sta" PhotographerJunior linebacker Jarrett Lake tackles Kentucky tailback Raymond Sanders III during Saturday’s 49-7 win over the Wildcats.

Over fall break, I went to talk to my former high school English teacher to share stories about classes and hear about his daughter’s third birthday.

His classroom is painted

bright blue, and magazine spreads, novel sleeves and posters adorn each wall. An avid bicyclist, he also has an apparatus in the corner to hang his racing bike.

Beneath an excerpt from “!e Tyger” by William Blake painted on the wall, hangs a four-page fold-out magazine featuring Lance Armstrong next to bold type that reads “VICTORY.”

I remember the numer-ous allusions he would make to Armstrong about being successful and working hard, which he somehow always re-lated back to whichever book we were reading that week.

With the release of the U.S.

Anti-Doping Agency’s report that cited the evidence it used to strip Armstrong of his seven Tour de France titles and ban him from the sport, the con-versation quickly turned to the use of performance enhancing drugs.

My teacher said that he thought it was over the top, and though that could be at-tributed to his adoration of Armstrong, cycling and the Livestrong foundation, I have to agree.

Since the evidence was released, Nike, Anheuser-Busch, Honey Stinger and Ra-dioShack have all ended their relationships with Armstrong, who also stepped down as

chairman of Livestrong. Armstrong had been re-

tired from cycling for years before the events of this sum-mer. !e remaining question is: What message does taking away the awards and banning a man who had already "nished send?

I think that USADA was trying to make an example of Armstrong. USADA wanted to show that no player is above the rules and that punishment will always follow, even if there is a delay.

However, by making a vil-lain of the sport’s greatest hero, the USADA has only increased morale for Armstrong’s foun-dation, Livestrong, which saw

an increase in donations in August.

!e sad fact is that dop-ing, whether it be the use of steroids, blood transfusions or another type of drug, has pro-liferated sports for a long time, and most fans realize this, re-gardless of the sport.

Science is trying to catch up with the techniques of those who choose to defy nature and equip their bodies with super-human abilities, but a drug or method cannot be banned un-til the scientists know the pre-cise composition.

!at’s why it took so long to catch the violators during the steroid age of baseball; that’s why doping can never be truly

eliminated unless the integrity of sports is brought into ques-tion.

!e essence of sports is based on competition, and unless you take away the very nature of the game, then hu-man beings will always try to get the upper edge - whether that be Gatorade to rehydrate during hal#ime or transfus-ing their own blood back into their bodies in the middle of a race.

COMMENTARY

Shelby Gill Asst. Companion EditorJunior out#elder Jacob Morris watches the ball during game four of the Cardinal-White series Wednesday. White leads the series 3-1, and game #ve will be played today at 3 p.m.

!e Razorback’s football season hasn’t gone quite as well as was expected. !ings have not been going right for the Hogs dating all the way back to Bobby Petrino’s

motorcycle accident, but the Hogs are beginning to over-come that adversity with a Southeastern Conference two-game winning streak.

!e Hogs started o$ the season with a 49-24 win over Jacksonville State. Little did the team know, that would be their last win for a while.

!e team then went on to lose in overtime to Louisiana Monroe, 34-31 in a loss that stunned the nation. !e Ra-zorbacks went on to take one of the worst falls in the polls ever, dropping completely out of the poll from No. 8.

Quarterback Tyler Wilson su$ered a concussion against

Louisiana Monroe and would not play in the following week’s game against Alabama.

A#er the tough loss to Louisiana Monroe, the team then went on to lose the next three games. !e next loss came from the No.1 Alabama Crimson Tide. Alabama came to Fayetteville and shut out

the Razorbacks for the "rst time since 2005 and the "rst time in Fayetteville since 1966.

!e Razorbacks then suf-fered a home loss to Rutgers in a close game, 35-26. !e Hogs then went on the road

to take a huge loss to Texas A&M in College Station, 58-10.

At that point in the season, Razorback fans were feeling as though nothing, absolutely nothing, could go right for the team.

But the team never gave up. !e Hogs were on a four-game losing streak going to Auburn to play the Tigers. !e team came out and played like a whole new team that no one had seen yet this season.

!is was a huge road win for the Hogs. !e Razorbacks caused "ve turnovers along with "ve sacks and had their best defensive performance of the year to lead the team to a 24-7 victory. !is marked the "rst SEC win for the Razor-backs.

!e Razorbacks then wel-comed the Kentucky Wild-cats to Fayetteville. !e Hogs started out with two unan-swered touchdowns when the game was delayed in the "rst quarter due to lightning. Play was resumed around an hour later and the Hogs kept the pace going.

!e game was called with

"ve minutes remaining in the third quarter and the Hogs took home a 49-7 victory. !is accounted for the second SEC win of the season for the Razorbacks.

!e last two SEC games against Auburn and Kentucky have become a turning point for the Razorbacks. !e Ra-zorbacks are now showing why they were ranked pre-season No. 8.

!e Razorbacks’ bye week is this weekend so they will be taking the week o$ from play and using it to hopefully improve for their upcoming schedule.

A#er their bye week, the Hogs will face Ole Miss in Lit-tle Rock. Ole Miss is standing in the middle of the pack in the conference with a current winning record of 4-3 with losses coming from Texas, Alabama and Texas A&M. If the Hogs can pick up a win against the Rebels, it will be huge.

!e next week the Razor-backs are hosting a noncon-ference game against Tulsa in Fayetteville for homecoming. !e Golden Hurricanes are

currently 6-1 with a loss com-ing from Iowa State. Although Tulsa’s competition is a lot dif-ferent than that of the Hogs, it will still be a good win for the Hogs if they can pull out the victory.

!e last three games of the regular season are big games for the Razorbacks. If Arkan-sas can pick up at least two wins out of the three games, it is much more likely that they will be bowl-eligible at the end of the season.

First, the Hogs will take on South Carolina in Columbia, S.C. !e next weekend the Hogs will travel to Mississippi State to take on the Bulldogs and then "nally back to Fay-etteville to take on the LSU Tigers.

All three of these teams are currently ranked and will be tough competition for the Hogs. But if the Hogs can pull out a few wins and end the season with a winning record, there might be some hope for the Razorbacks to be eligible for a bowl game, which did not seem remotely possibly a#er the four-game losing streak.

SEASON continued from page 7

UEKMAN continued from page 7redshirted during the 2010 season and played in nine games as a redshirt freshman in 2011.

Last year on Nov. 20, a day a#er Arkansas defeated Mis-sissippi State in his hometown of Little Rock, Uekman was found unconscious and un-responsive in his dorm room at 11:15 a.m. and pronounced dead an hour later.

An autopsy revealed that he passed away due to complica-tions from cardiomyopathy as a result of an enlarged heart. He was just 19 years old.

“(Uekman) was a special young man who made an im-pact on the lives of his team-

mates and students around the University of Arkansas cam-pus. He was an extraordinary person and a true Razorback,” Long said.

“We are deeply honored that the Uekman family and the Uekman Foundation have chosen to make this commit-ment to celebrate Garrett’s legacy in this way.”

Following his death, the Garrett Uekman Foundation was created to “continue his legacy by raising funds to sup-port heart disease research and education and to provide scholarships to deserving stu-dent athletes,” according to the foundation’s website, gu88.org.

!e Razorback women’s tennis team will see some fa-miliar faces as they look ahead to their next meet, the Inter-collegiate Tennis Association Regionals in Tulsa, Okla.

!is meet has a huge importance to head coach Michael Hegarty because a successful meet can lead to quali"cation for the ITA Na-tionals later in the season.

!e Razorbacks are in the middle of their fall season and look to continue to build on their performances, including the recent Razorback Invita-tional.

Arkansas got six singles wins over the weekend against a few nationally-ranked op-ponents, some of which they will face again.

Tulsa and Missouri, who is the only other Southeast-ern Conference team in the region, also played in the Ra-zorback Invitational.

Tulsa "nished last season ranked No. 23 in the country, but the Razorbacks fought hard, going 3-4 in singles against the Golden Hurri-

canes.Yang Pang got two wins

against Tulsa, beating Saana Saarteinen 6-0, 6-1, and Sa-mantha Vickers 6-3, 6-1.

Arkansas went 2-1 against Missouri. Ana Lorena Belmar Hernandez and Kimberley-Ann Surin each earned wins over the Tigers.

!e highest ranked team that the Hogs will face the Ne-braska Cornhuskers.

!e Huskers are led by a group of four seniors includ-ing Patricia Veresova.

Veresova, a senior from Piestany, Slovakia, was named second team All-Big 10 and racked up a total of 52 singles and doubles wins last season.

A large group of Big 12 teams will be competing as well. Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Kansas State and Iowa State, will all be in Tulsa.

Oklahoma State "nished last season the highest-ranked of those teams. !ey are led by third-year head coach Chris Young.

!e Sooners are another familiar foe for the Razor-backs. !ey went 3-3 in sin-gles matches at the Country Club of Little Rock Invita-

tional, the season’s inaugural event for both teams.

Pang got her "rst win as a Razorback over Oklahoma junior Whitney Ritchie, 6-2, 6-2.

Sarah McLean and Clau-dine Paulson also earned wins over Hermon Bhrane , 6-2, 6-2, and Mia Lancaster 5-7, 6-4, 6-2.

Arkansas won’t be the only team from the Natural State competing — both the Red Wolves of Arkansas State and the Central Arkansas Bears will be competing as well.

Arkansas State will be led by lone senior Ioana Teu, who has 21 singles wins in her ca-reer.

UCA has sisters Kristina and Simona Horsikyan lead-ing them. !ey lead the Bears’ squad, making their second away trip.

South Dakota State, Min-nesota, Iowa and Wichita State will also be competing in the invitational.

Arkansas will be looking for a well-rounded perfor-mance with all members of the team making a contribu-tion, much like the events earlier in the Razorbacks’ fall season.

TENNIS

!e Arkansas Razorbacks soccer team is 7-8-1 overall with a few more games le# to focus on.

Friday, Oct. 12, the wom-en’s soccer team competed against Texas A&M. Texas A&M got a pair of "rst-half goals from Kelley Monogue and a second half tally from Meghan Streight to capture a road win over the Razor-backs.

Monogue is a sophomore from McKinney, Texas. She is a four-time Big 12 Newcomer of the week, Big 12 O$ensive player of the week, and was a part of Our Game Magazine College “Players to Watch List.”

Texas A&M is ranked No. 9 and holds a record of 14-2-1. !eir Southeastern Con-ference record is 8-1-1. !eir goal average so far this season is 2, and their point average is 7. In 2011, they were the Big 12 Conference tournament champions.

Sunday, Arkansas got its "rst soccer victory over Au-burn since 2000. A goal from Sam Wolf in the 62nd minute held o$ several late attacks by Auburn for a 1-0 SEC victory over the Tigers at Razorback Field. Wolf is a sophomore from Plano, Texas. Last year, she started all 18 games at de-fender and led the club with 1,581 minutes played.

With 11 minutes le# in

the period, a Tiger foul gave Arkansas a free kick above the le# corner of the 18. Allie Tripp played the kick into the six, and Ashleigh Ellenwood was just short of getting to the ball for a close header at-tempt. Tripp later had a head-er inside the six, but Howard made another save.

Auburn had three corners in the period, but Ellenwood headed two of those out of the box for easy clears by the Ra-zorbacks.

“It wasn’t pretty, but we got the result,” head coach Colby Hale said. “We want to be a team that grinds out wins, and that’s what we did today.”

!e game was also Senior Day with Andrea Carlson and Allie Chandler closing their home careers.

“!ose kids have a special place in our hearts,” Hale said. “!ey will be sorely missed, but I’m really excited about the successes we’re having this year for them.”

!e next game the Ra-zorbacks will compete in is against Missouri. Missouri holds a record of 13-3-0 so far this season.

Missouri averages 2 goals per game and 22 assists.

Before the SEC Tourna-ment, the Razorbacks will compete against LSU in their last scheduled game. LSU’s re-cord is 6-7-4 so far and their goal average is 1.

Sophomore, Alex Arlitt, from Houston leads in goals for LSU. Last year, she start-ed 22 matches for the Tigers while playing as an attacking

mid"elder, defensive mid-"elder and right back.

She scored two goals and dished out three assists for seven points on the season. Arlitt attempted 11 shots with "ve shots on goal on the of-fensive end and scored her "rst career goal and recorded her "rst career assist to lead to a 3-0 shutout of Louisiana-Lafayette on Aug. 21.
