Each weekend, these members head out with the city of Dayton’s chapter of Habitat to work sites. These work sites build a house for a needy family in just one week- end. The volunteers donate their time to do whatever is needed to get the house finished. This year, UD’s chapter will work on 13 dif- ferent houses. The group started its year with a birdhouse building workshop at the beginning of September. They took students off campus to teach them how to construct birdhouses, in an effort to help train and give practice to the future Habitat vol- unteers. The birdhouses were then donated to a local work site for use on the new houses. “We take about 16 to 24 people a day when we work in Dayton on the weekend,” said Dana Healy, secretary of UD’s Habitat branch. “The best part of going to the work sites is using the power tools.” For more information on the UD Habitat chapter, visit udayton. edu/students/habitat.

TRANSCRIPT

In preparation for last week-end’s Clive Rainey build, the Uni-versity of Dayton’s branch of Hab-itat for Humanity held one final meeting before the project started.

Art Street Studio B was packed Thursday, Sept. 20, with students awaiting the final details about the build. After several pictures and videos describing Habitat’s past work were shown, chapter president and senior criminal jus-tice and psychology major Kevin Longacre asked one question to the crowd.

“How many of you plan to come out to the Clive Rainey build on Saturday?”

A majority of the students’ hands shot up in the air.

The build on Saturday, Sept. 22, celebrated Clive Rainey, the first volunteer for Habitat for Human-ity. Fifty-five years ago, Rainey started with Habitat and while now retired, continues to share his experiences by giving speech-es across the country. He helped make Habitat a household name by sharing the idea that every person deserves a decent place to live.

Rainey was in attendance Sat-urday and spoke to more than 100 volunteers. He delivered his speech to a crowd of the volun-teers, university president Daniel Curran, the Ohio chapter and city of Dayton chapter of Habitat, and others. Rainey focused his belief that the most powerful weapon man has is a hammer.

The frame was built in the S1 parking lot near the College Park Center and then transported to an-other location in the Montgomery

County area for a family in need. The build was constructed on

campus because of the connection between Rainey’s and UD’s beliefs. Longacre said UD has a reputation of having hard-working students in their Habitat group, known for their Marianist values.

“It was a very Clive Rainey weekend,” Longacre said. “We channel his spirit toward a con-structive way for us to contrib-ute to the community making it a great success.”

The UD Habitat chapter cur-rently has 50 active members. Each weekend, these members head out with the city of Dayton’s chapter of Habitat to work sites. These work sites build a house for a needy family in just one week-end. The volunteers donate their time to do whatever is needed to get the house finished. This year, UD’s chapter will work on 13 dif-ferent houses.

The group started its year with a birdhouse building workshop at the beginning of September. They took students off campus to teach them how to construct birdhouses, in an effort to help train and give practice to the future Habitat vol-unteers. The birdhouses were then donated to a local work site for use on the new houses.

“We take about 16 to 24 people a day when we work in Dayton on the weekend,” said Dana Healy, secretary of UD’s Habitat branch. “The best part of going to the work sites is using the power tools.”

The University of Dayton De-partment of Public Safety issued

two safety advisories over the weekend.

FRIDAY, SEPT. 21

The first incident reportedly oc-curred at approximately 3:50 a.m., Friday, Sept. 21, near Holy Angels Church. According to the advisory, a female student reported that she noticed a male following her while walking on College Park Avenue.

The advisory said the male sus-pect made gestures toward the stu-dent and shoved her to the ground. The advisory stated the student kicked the male until he left, at which time the student went to her residence and reported the incident.

Public Safety said the suspect in this incident was described as an approximately 6-foot tall, 200-pound, black male in his mid-twenties wearing a dark gray hooded sweatshirt and jeans. The advisory said a United Dairy Farmers clerk reported a male matching the description had been in the Brown and Stewart Street

UDF earlier.The advisory stated UD police

officers conducted a search of the area, but had not located any sus-pects as of 12:17 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 22, when the advisory was issued.

SUNDAY, SEPT. 23

The second advisory detailed a report from a male student regard-ing a confrontation between him and three black males on Sunday, Sept. 23 at approximately 3:40 a.m. The incident reportedly occurred in the alley at the rear of 1652 Brown Street, the address of the Art Frame Gallery business.

According to the advisory, the suspects approached the student, displaying a knife, and told the stu-dent to give them his money. The advisory said the suspects were scared off during the confronta-tion and fled across Brown Street. Public Safety said no items were taken from the student, who was neither physically assaulted nor injured.

The advisory described the first suspect as a 6-foot-3-inch tall male

in his 20s with an athletic build, wearing a bandana, dark jeans and a black shirt. The second suspect was also reported as in his 20s and wearing a black shirt. The third suspect was reported as a heavy-built, 6-foot-1-inch male wearing jeans and a dark shirt.

The advisory stated UD police conducted a search of the area, but had not located any suspects as of when the advisory was is-sued at 5:06 on the morning of the incident.

INVESTIGATION

At the time of their respective issues, both advisories said Public Safety was continuing to investi-gate each incident and would fol-low up on any report of criminal activity. Persons with informa-tion regarding any crimes or sus-picious activity are asked to call Public Safety at 937-229-2121, or 911 from a university phone.

The Interfraternity, Panhellenic and National Pan-Hellenic Coun-cils will host Greek Week events from Monday, Sept. 24, to Saturday, Sept. 29, in both ArtStreet Amphi-theatre and the Central Mall.

The events will be free of charge and open to all UD students who are interested, according to Kevin Cane, the director of Greek Life and Leadership Programs. Accord-ing to Cane, the week of events is a celebration of the UD Greek com-munity, emphasizing unity to the community in a way that is both fun and educational.

“It is a time to come together in a unified week,” Cane said. “It is a time to ... let the student body know the large body of Greek life is present on campus.”

Cane said Greek Week has been going on for several decades, but over the last three years has been going through formal changes.

Cane added that UD Greek Life has expanded in recent years. Ac-cording to Cane, nine percent of UD students were involved in some sort of Greek Life in 2009, and the Greek community has risen to 17 percent in 2012.

According to Cane, the 18 chapters will compete in fun and friendly events during the week. Cane said eight IFC chapters, six Panhel chapters, and four NPHC chapters will compete for a tro-phy awarded at the close of Greek Week.

Riley Quinn, a senior biology major and vice president of Greek Week programming, said the male fraternities compete between oth-er male fraternities and female sororities will compete against fe-male sororities.

According to the itinerary, the week will kick off Monday with the Toga Torch Run from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Central Mall. For this event, participants will be cos-tumed in togas while competing in

various relay obstacles.Quinn added that each chapter

will be awarded points based on their results and creativity repre-senting their chapter.

Following the toga run, the Brown Bag Improv will take place on Tuesday at 5 p.m. at the Art-Street Amphitheatre. Each chap-ter will place a miscellaneous item in a paper bag where the opposing chapter will guess the item based on clues, she said.

The third Greek Week event is a service challenge, also known as Canned Good Castle Building. Beginning Wednesday at 6 p.m. at the Central Mall, participants will build a castle structure out of cans while UD engineering students serve as judges.

Quinn said the most popular Greek Week event, Puttin’ On The Hits Dance Competition, will start Friday at 4:15 p.m. at the ArtStreet Amphitheatre.

Although most of the week’s events are free, POTH will re-

quire a $1 admission fee with all of the proceeds going to Distance 4 Dreams, a charity organization that grants wishes for ill children.

“I believe students will find that Greek Week will be a relaxed atmosphere to learn about Greek Life opportunities without actu-ally participating in a recruitment event,” Cane said. “Students who attend will learn more about the various organizations, know what they stand for, and hopefully part-ner with them.”

Newspaper subscriptions have made their way to the University of Dayton in a new way – digitally.

Beginning this year, the Stu-dent Government Association is providing online subscriptions to The New York Times to all stu-dents, faculty and staff with ac-cess to a university email address, said SGA president Emily Kaylor.

Kaylor, a senior political sci-ence major, said there are “200 passes on 24-hour rotations.” Ac-cording to The New York Times’ website, passes are granted on a first-come-first-served basis based on when individuals access NYTimes.com/Passes. Kaylor added that it’s not a midnight-to-midnight pass.

“If someone logs in at 2 p.m. and there’s a pass available, they’ll have it until 2 p.m. the next day,” she said.

The online accessibility will also include access via the NY-Times app on smartphones.

The passes are available to stu-dents at no additional charge. The subscriptions are paid for by SGA using funds from the student ac-tivity fee.

“The New York Times is built

into the [SGA] budget,” she said.There is the possibility of in-

creasing the number of [online] subscriptions if usage is high. Kaylor said if they do decide to increase the subscriptions, SGA would talk to administrators to see if there’s another office on campus that would help subsidize it with them.

“We’re not going to take money away from student orgs because that’s what we’re here for,” she said.

In addition to the 200 online subscriptions, 200 print copies will continue to be delivered to campus and distributed at locations such as Kennedy Union, Marycrest Hall, Marianist Hall and the Humanities building each weekday, according to Kaylor.

To students who have heard about the Academic Passes, reac-tion has been positive.

Abe McCarty, a junior political science and international studies double major, has been picking up The New York Times paper in Kennedy Union since his freshman year and says it’s great UD is get-ting online access.

“I’m not getting nearly as much as I could,” McCarty said about the limitations of the print product.

He said he will definitely use

the passes because of the current 10 article per month limit that NY-Times.com instituted in April.

For years, an alternative to the SGA-funded New York Times pa-pers has been discounted subscrip-tions through the UD Bookstore.

The subscription through the bookstore costs $48.75 per semes-ter for a daily paper along with online access to the site.

Loretta Geiger, general book su-pervisor and supervisor in charge of The New York Times subscrip-tions, said that subscriptions have decreased dramatically in recent years. She said they used to have about 200 people buying subscrip-tions two or three years ago. Cur-rently, there are around 20 people with subscriptions through the bookstore.

Geiger attributes the decrease to SGA offering free papers around campus. She said the benefit of buying through the bookstore is that individuals are guaranteed a paper and don’t have to worry about getting to the stands before the SGA papers are picked up.

Academic Passes will be avail-able through all breaks, with the exception of summer.

Placing an emphasis on interna-tional experience and immersion, University of Dayton’s engineer-ing program helps prepare engi-neers to compete in the global jobs market.

Within the engineering school’s curriculum, specific programs aim to give UD’s engineers tools to suc-ceed in the ever-globalizing world. According to Rebecca Blust, a pro-fessor from the department of en-gineering technology, the school of engineering created the Global Manufacturing Systems Engineer-ing Technology program hoping to “evolve the [engineering] program to more of a global scale.”

Established two years ago, Blust said the program added a few com-ponents to the traditional manu-facturing engineering technology

curriculum. The program requires foreign language classes and a study abroad experience, whether in the form of a co-op or the tradi-tional semester abroad.

Students must “get off this con-tinent,” Blust said. Main destina-tions for students include Germa-ny and China.

Blust specifically cites a pro-gram in Germany as an example of how the university gives unique, international learning opportuni-ties to its students. Participating in the program for the last six years, UD’s engineering students have visited German automobile companies like Bavarian Motor Works (BMW), Porsche, Volkswa-gen and this past summer, Audi.

“At BMW, students learn manu-facturing techniques from the peo-ple to teach it to the BMW workers and staff,” Blust said.

Students were even able to drive

the BMW cars on the test track fol-lowing their learning experience.

Along with the technical experi-ence gained, UD students become fully immersed in the German culture. The program pairs each American student with a student mentor from Germany. After re-turning to the states, some stu-dents even stay in touch with their mentor.

“It’s really a great relation-ship,” Blust said.

While UD’s Global Manufac-turing Systems program requires study of a second language – a skill that Blust said undoubtedly makes a job candidate more attrac-tive to an international company – the study abroad experiences do not focus on language skills alone.

“It’s not so much speaking a language as it is having the experi-ence, a feeling that this is not your primary environment…being able

to function in that environment,” Blust said.

Steve Maloney, a junior major-ing in mechanical engineering, feels that the ability to speak a second language could prove in-valuable in the job market. A Span-ish minor, Maloney will travel to Spain next summer through UD’s language department.

“Engineering is all around the world, it’s not just in the United States,” Maloney said.

In his classes in the engineering school, Maloney said he feels that he is exposed to different cultures just through the discourse in class.

Maloney said the growing im-portance and relevance of the Spanish language in United States today as the main reason for his interest in the area.

“[A person] might get into a situation where you need to speak Spanish and communicate with

others or you might be doing busi-ness with a company that only speaks Spanish,” Maloney said.

Another program within the en-gineering school raises awareness of global issues. The program, dubbed ETHOS, facilitates an “un-derstanding of technology’s global linkage with values, culture, soci-ety, politics, and economy,” ac-cording to the UD’s engineering website.

Maloney said an engineering student would travel to an impov-erished country through ETHOS and design something for a village; perhaps a pump system to access drinking water.

In engineering, and other ma-jors, Maloney said he feels knowl-edge of a second language is a great resume builder.

“It’s something that everyone should look into doing,”he said.

Working to raise awareness about child soldiers in Africa, the Invisible Children organization at the University of Dayton is fo-cused on rebuilding the lives of those affected by Central Africa’s civil war.

In addition to raising general awareness, Invisible Children also funds student scholarships for the larger international organization, said Grace Callahan, the treasurer of the organization and a senior math and education major.

“Awareness is raised through documentary screenings and other events,” she said. “We raise money through events such as restaurant takeovers and through selling

merchandise.” The organization’s next fund-

raising event is a Milano’s take-over, which will take place on Oct. 18, said Meghan Henry, a senior middle childhood education major and president of Invisible Chil-dren. Twenty percent of the pro-ceeds, when purchased with an In-visible Children flyer, will benefit the organization, Henry said.

Callahan said she started the or-ganization with a friend her fresh-man year after watching a docu-mentary made by the international Invisible Children organization.

“[The documentary] made such an impression on me… so we wanted to raise awareness on the issue,” Callahan said.

Initially, the goal of the interna-tional organization was to help end

the war in Uganda by advocating for the child soldiers who were ab-ducted from their homes, Callahan said. Since the war has ended, the focus of the organization has shift-ed to the rebuilding of communi-ties, sending children to school, rehabilitation of former child sol-diers and the tracking of the rebel army who were known for using child soldiers, Henry said.

The UD organization sends all of the raised funds directly to the international organization, Henry said.

This year, the goal of the orga-nization is to raise enough money to send a child to school for a year, according to Henry.

The organization also became involved in tutoring local African refugees last semester, Henry said.

Every Tuesday and Thursday, club members go to the Dayton library and work with local refugees who sometimes have problems speak-ing English, according to Calla-han.

According to Callahan, social-ization among refugees and Day-ton community members is vital to the tutoring process, enabling the refugees to meet Americans and learn how to assimilate into the culture.

“It was a great way to be present in the community, and not just on campus,” Henry said.

According to Henry, Invis-ible Children raises both general awareness about the issue of child soldiers and also provides UD stu-dents with unique opportunities, such as tutoring local refugees.

“It [tutoring] brings you back down to reality and shows you what other people go through,” Henry said.

To learn more about the Invisi-ble Children student organization, students can attend the meetings held on Tuesday’s at 8 p.m. in room 312 in Kennedy Union. Interested students can also send an e-mail to [email protected].

To learn more about the inter-national organization, and the is-sues still effecting central Africa, students are welcome to come to a free documentary screening in Boll Theatre at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 27, Henry said.

The University of Dayton recently received roughly $3 million in Ohio Third Frontier Program funds that will be used to advance the aerospace industry in Ohio.

The funds will support “the develop-ment of new materials…that will meet the needs of the aerospace industry in Ohio,” according to state Senator Bill Beagle in an article from Tipp News Daily.

The University of Dayton Research Institute will be putting these funds to

use in additive manufacturing, which is essentially 3D printing of objects designed on a computer, according to the article.

UD will also be providing $3.3 mil-lion in addition to the OTF funds to be used for the same project.

Additive manufacturing was re-cently named number one in Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine’s list of “Top Technologies to Watch.” The sale of additive manufacturing products and services is expected to grow tremendously worldwide by 2015, according to a UDRI press release.

The press release said this expected growth is due to the numerous ad-

vantages of additive manufacturing, including cost reduction, simplicity of designing and waste reduction. Since the objects are created on a computer, a design can be changed very easily and since the objects are printed, there is no need to pay for tools or nuts and bolts.

Also, since the objects printed tend to be lighter than those made the tra-ditional way, they can lead to better fuel efficiency in cars airplanes that use them.

The press release said UDRI will be working with program partners Stra-tasys, PolyOne and Rapid Prototype Manufacturing Inc. to develop parts for the aerospace industry.

Aircraft-engine parts will be de-veloped for GE Aviation as well as components and parts for companies such as Boeing, Honda and Goodrich to name a few. While these 3D printers can use a variety of materials to print the objects, the use of polymers will be UDRI’s main focus.

UD students are able to be a part of this project through the School of En-gineering, which will provide hands-on opportunities for engineering students. In addition to the involvement of UD students, the money received will also result in some work force development.

According to the press release, Bri-an Rice, head of UDRI’s Multi-Scale

Composites and Polymers Division, said UDRI expects this program “to re-sult in the creation of 30 high-tech jobs in Ohio during the first three years and 85 jobs after five years.”

Beagle, who is also a member of the Third Frontier Advisory Board said UD was a good choice for this funding.

“It is no surprise UD was chosen for Third Frontier funding, as UD contin-ues to drive cutting edge technology in advanced manufacturing materi-als,” Beagle said. “I am proud that UD will be partnering with the Ohio Third Frontier, allowing its research to foster significant private sector job creation in advanced manufacturing.”

The Cleveland-area band iPhon-ic will be bringing a fresh sound and good vibes to Timothy’s Bar Saturday, Sept. 29, at 10 p.m. Open-ing for iPhonic will be UD’s own hip-hop artist, Dave Zupkovich, a junior communication major and vice president of Street Sounds.

“The first time I saw iPhonic was in January 2009,” said Zup-kovich. “They were opening for Kid Cudi at the [Agora Theatre in Cleveland] and it was awesome. Ever since then, they’ve been mak-ing noise in Cleveland.”

According to iPhonic’s website,

the group makes “explosive pop-rock and hip hop” music, and “de-liver a unique blend of sing-along pop songs and aggressive club hits.”

Zupkovich said that he was con-tacted by Blue Monster Entertain-ment, an Dayton-based entertain-ment company that is “all about the music” and was founded by UD graduate Nathan Pyle.

“I’ve worked with a lot of peo-ple in promotional companies, and a lot of them are about money,” he said. “I’m not about that, and neither is Blue Monster. They’re like, ‘What’s the best show we can put on that these kids are going to love? They’re all about music,

and just fun, and for them to bring iPhonic to UD is great.”

He said when he was asked to be a part of Blue Monster’s fall show, he was consulted about who should be contacted as the head-liner. Zupkovich said that some-one from Ohio should be brought in, and iPhonic was an obvious choice.

“I feel that UD is their natural place to play,” said Zupkovich. “It’s a fresh sound that’s not just hip-hop or rock, it’s both. They’re down to party. The whole vibe of the Ghetto, they just get it. They’re perfect for it.”

Another Ohio hip-hop artist, Cali Kid Dubz, will be opening as

well. He was runner-up for Best New Artist in the 2011 Ohio Hip Hop Awards and received a nomi-nation for Power 107.5 WCKX-FM Columbus’ Best Artist of 2011, ac-cording to his website.

“His show is dope,” said Zup-kovich. “The entire show is going to be a ton of good vibes.” He said he will be performing material from his new album, “The Olym-pic Club.”

“If you want to just get off cam-pus, do something a little bit differ-ent, you should show up because literally you’re not going to have a full band at Tim’s for probably a long time. IPhonic is going to bring noise,” said Zupkovich.

He said that he realizes the art-ists from UD are getting bigger, but the school has something special.

“There are a lot of really cool, talented people here,” he said.

“I always like seeing new artists start to get more recognition for the work that no one really sees,” said Patrick Gill, a sophomore fi-nance and marketing major. “I’m excited for them to come to Day-ton.”

Tickets can be purchased for $7 at iphonicdayton.eventbrite.com or for $10 at the door. For more information, visit bluemonsteren-tertainment.com.

I’ve always been a curious kid who questions everything. My passion for writing and the culinary arts has led me here, to The Sauce. With this oppor-tunity I’d like to share my insight on all things food. Each article features my travels and culinary explorations as a curious kid. Bon Appetit!

When butter comes to mind, many cringe in fear at the sight of this notori-ous, fatty substance, but not I.

Instead, I look at this rich and creamy delight as an essential ingredi-ent that comforts the soul.

The Butter Café seeks to calm the fears of their health-crazed patrons by offering organic, locally-produced butter among other foods that share a similar background.

Though the café is known for their delicious breakfast and lunch offer-ings, they are expanding their business by being open for dinner Thursday through Saturday. Their dinner menu features three appetizers, two salads, seasonal soups, 12 entrees and one des-sert that changes daily.

To begin the meal, I whet my ap-petite with their fried green tomatoes

that were grown in a backyard gar-den. The tomatoes were accompanied with a lemon dill crème fraiche dip. It was creamy and light with the citrusy lemon cutting through the creaminess of the crème fraiche while the fragrant dill completed it.

Cornmeal was used as the breading and unfortunately lacked in flavor and overpowered the tomatoes. But I didn’t let the few flaws ruin my experience, for the employees at the café are still experimenting with what works.

Sarah Dudley, co-owner and man-ager of the Butter Café realizes that patience and an open mind will help her and the chefs find out which ingre-dients work best with each other.

“We’ve been serving dinner for over a month. As of now, the [dinner] menu hasn’t really changed,” Dudley said. “We’re still figuring out what people like, what’s popular.”

Being able to adapt and decipher the complex palate of the restaurant goer is a difficult and sometimes frustrating task, but I have faith in the Butter Café. They have amazing ingredients at their disposal and, through a dedicated per-sistence, they will continue to improve.

The dish that needs little, if any, im-provement is the delicious, stuffed bell pepper with grass-fed beef, rice and topped with melted mozzarella cheese. The pepper was sweet , fresh and cra-dled the bits of beef and rice comple-menting the sweet and salty taste that has become a popular concept in the culinary world.

The sloppy joe featured free-range beef, a homegrown tomato and let-tuce, which came together between a large Kaiser roll that held up against the infamous “sloppy” name. Crunchy kettle-cooked chips also came with the meal, balancing the soft texture of

the sandwich. Another dish that arrived on the

table was an oven-fried chicken with whipped potatoes and green beans.

The chicken, which is also free-range, was moist but featured a similar corn-meal breading the fried green tomatoes had, which was slightly off-putting.

On a positive note though, the green beans were crisp and had a snap to it, a sign of being properly cooked. The po-tatoes had a hint of garlic with a rich, smooth texture, quite possibly the bet-ter part of the dish.

Now, I keep mentioning free-range, homegrown and organic when discuss-ing the café’s ingredients. For those who might not know what these terms mean, allow me to digress and offer some explanation.

When livestock like chicken and beef are labeled as “free-range,” they are able to wander about the farm property grazing on food that is natu-ral to their body outside of a confined space like a feed lot. Food defined as

organic, uses biology-aided methods instead of chemically-enhanced tech-niques to grow and raise livestock or produce.

“We try to buy as much local stuff as we can,” Dudley said. “Fresher is definitely better. The meat has no hor-mones or antibiotics, and our veggies are grown without pesticides.”

Gregory Jerome, an old-school chef at the café, has been cranking out dishes at various restaurants for 28 years. Earning his stripes at the Walt Disney Culinary School, Jerome said it’s important to lead by example, not just in the kitchen but also for other restaurants that plan on offering lo-cally produced ingredients.

“Everything is made from scratch and the ingredients I use are from farms around the local area,” Jerome said enthusiastically. “It’s great to be

able to use such quality ingredients. They just taste better.”

As we all know, shortcuts rarely result in honest success. Taking the long road by making food from scratch manifests itself into a special ingredi-ent, and you can taste it. You can taste the labor and passion of the hard-working farmers and chefs who dedi-cate their lives for our empty stomachs.

Supporting restaurants like the Butter Café and movements that push for humane treatment of the world’s bounty creates an atmosphere for positive change. To do your part and enjoy a delicious meal, stop by the café Thursdays 6-9 p.m. or Friday and Sat-urdays 6-10 p.m. to try dishes on their new dinner menu.

The internationally renowned TODT Artist’s Collective will be exhibited at the University of Dayton from Thursday, Sept. 27, through Oct. 25 at both ArtStreet Studio D and Gallery 249 at the College Park Center.

TODT, pronounced “tode,” is a collaborative effort between three anonymous artists. “Todt” means “death” in German, and the collec-tion represents “a dark reality,” according to an article by James K. Kettlewell entitled “TODT: An Artist Collaborative.”

The pieces featured in the ex-hibit will consist of large pieces of farm machinery transformed to look like weaponry, according to Brian LaDuca, director of Art-Street.

“There is a thrill and risk in-volved in these pieces,” LaDuca said.

The exhibits will include both two dimensional and sculptural pieces that depict a futuristic world controlled by science and government, according to UD’s vi-sual arts department.

The core piece of this exhibit is called “The Reaper,” according to LaDuca. He said that he thinks that students would be interested in this piece especially because it is extremely large and crafted out of farm machinery.

Other pieces are made out of basic metal and cast iron machin-ery, according to LaDuca. He said there is some concern with the pieces because they are sharp and have come together to form actual weaponry.

The exhibit is in the process of being set up at both locations.

“Even in parts, it is very com-pelling,” LaDuca said. He also said that the pieces are enormous.

Once it is set up, the exhibit will open with an artist’s talk on Sept. 27. Though the artists have chosen to remain anonymous to the pub-lic, they will be here in person to speak and will not conceal their names at the artist’s talk.

“This will give people who have followed their work a chance to meet them,” LaDuca said.

The artists’ anonymity was conceived not to conceal their identities; it is just their choice to stay out of the public eye,

according to LaDuca.The artists of TODT are two

brothers and a sister, but the old-est brother is recently deceased, according to LaDuca.

He said that he thinks that the recent death of one of the artists will only add to the emotional is-sues of the collection.

This will not be TODT’s first trip to Dayton. The Artists Collec-tive formed in the 1980s and toured all over the country and the world, stopping in Dayton a few times in the 1990s, according to their own website.

According to LaDuca, there was a renewed interest by individuals in the visual arts department to

bring them back.There will be different pieces

displayed at each exhibit, but there is not a specific theme to either, according to LaDuca. He said that there will be no duplicates at the respective location.

“One does not have to be into art to be excited by the work of TODT,” Kettlewell said in his ar-ticle.

“It’s very interesting,” LaDuca said. “There’s a sense of mystery to it.”

A good friend of mine once tweeted, “Words are hard.”

Well, I say relationships are hard, especially long-distance ones. I have come to this conclusion through countless long-distance relationships that I have observed through close family members, cherished friends and even fictional characters from

books and television. College fresh-men, and college students in general, often struggle to maintain their sweet-hearts during this ever-changing time in their lives.

How do you remain in a committed relationship when you are separated from your significant other? How can you be sure one of you will not change or outgrow the relationship? Will the interactions with others stir up new emotions about your current rela-tionship? Are you missing opportuni-ties to meet new, enticing people? Can one ever be sure that you trust your mate? Does distance apart really make the heart grow fonder? Why can “so and so” keep a long distance relation-ship and I can’t? These questions and

many more tumble around the heads of lovers.

I am a romantic who dreams of courtship, chivalry and soul mates. I believe in the power of love and com-mitment. However, I also strongly con-sider the role communication plays into the relationship. Of course, you need attraction and fireworks, but you also need the ability to communicate with your other half as well. Without communication, you would never un-derstand how the other person is feel-ing, therefore directing the relation-ship onto rocky roads.

It is extremely hard for either gen-der to communicate their feelings ef-fectively and fully. In my experience, as a woman, I can translate a simple

“yes” or “no” into something substan-tial. In turn, I feel ignored and become outraged. I can twist a tiny situation into colossal wreckage or, as some would say, “make a mountain out of a molehill.” I tend to analyze every word said by a boyfriend and create unneeded drama. This has been my downfall of my own long-distance re-lationships.

For women, talking is how we express our feelings and connect to others, whereas men speak through actions, not words, and only talk to achieve a goal or solve a problem. There is no right or wrong way to com-municate as long as there is respect for other people’s opinions. Communica-tion allows a relationship to blossom

and to reach new heights of love that encompass respect and friendship.

Imagine a relationship where hap-piness is constant, one that you know your significant other is committed to you no matter the distance. It is pos-sible. It will not be easy, but nothing in life that is worthwhile is easy.

Think about the organic chemistry class that you have to take for your pre-med major so you can become the doctor, the person you always dreamed of being, or training for a 5K run for a charity event. My take on long-distance relationships is that if you put the hard work in, you will gain something truly amazing that is irreplaceable.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder...sometimes

STOP! Don’t even think about gloss-ing over this article. It isn’t another boring opinion with the argumentative thesis of “hazing is bad and fraternities and sororities shouldn’t do it because it’s bad.” Read the whole thing. You’ll be glad you did.

To save you from reading our lovely student handbook, I will paraphrase the clauses on hazing.

It’s a lot of stuff, but it basically means if you do something to some-one because they are affiliated with your group, even somewhat, and if that something may cause any kind of stress to that person, then you are haz-ing, and it’s prohibidado.

One common example of this is the “hell week” during the candidate period of a fraternity. A common prac-tice of fraternities is to force their can-didates to live in the fraternity-owned house for the duration of hell week. Candidates are also required to eat

only the food provided to them by the fraternity members.

Personally, I am glad to say that I never had to go through this. Though it does seem like a pleasant bonding experience, I would rather have my freshman experience be limited to the residence hall that I was forced to live in (because my permanent residence is out of state) and eating the food from the university owned dining halls us-ing my meal plan (that I was required to purchase because I lived in a first-year residence hall, because my per-manent residence is out of state).

Wait a minute … I had to take out a loan so I could afford that meal plan and those housing fees. So, not only am I subject to the oppressively totalitar-ian mandates that are university hous-ing code, but I am also trapped in the vicious claws of corporate banking! Through the stresses of debt, plus the uncertainty of acquiring a job imme-diately after graduating, I have been reduced to a hollow shell of a man. The constant nervous breakdowns have left me with an incredibly weak stomach, disabling me from eating any food other than Hot Flyers and luke-warm milk. This limited diet, imposed by undue stress, has left my physical well-being in jeopardy. With all of the stress placed upon me due to forced liv-ing arrangements, prepaid meal plans

and crippling debt, I have come to the conclusion that, by its own definition and the definitions stated by Ohio law, the university is hazing me.

Think about it. I want to be a mem-ber of the University of Dayton student community (the fraternity). In order to join, I need to pay tuition (fraternity dues). However, paying the “dues” for the “fraternity” is not enough. I have been forced to live in the “fraternity”-owned “house” for more than a year. I have been forced to eat whatever food the fraternity provided as well. Moreover, purchasing the meal plan has compelled me to refuse going to off-campus eateries with friends, as my diminished capacity to purchase food and groceries has reduced me to a state of stomach-slavery, with Dining Services as my master! Am I to let this blatant abomination pass me by as I sit, shuddering at the thought of my own recent tribulation, watching the poor freshmen struggle under the weight of this oppressive regime?

In the future, perhaps the university should write a few immunity clauses in the student handbook, or perhaps be a little more explicit when defining its terms. You see, when someone strongly enforces a particular policy, they need to make sure that they’ve got the policy well-defined, or else they will be sub-ject to (lighthearted) ridicule.

FALL:FlYER NEWS SAYS GOODBYE TO SUmmER

There was a chill in the air as we walked into the Flyer News of-fice this weekend. With that, coupled with the scenes of turning leaves throughout campus, autumn is upon us.

While we’re sad to say our goodbyes to summer, we’re grateful for the one last chance that fall provides for us to enjoy the outdoors before Jack Frost forces us inside for the winter. For many, this is the best time of the year to visit local parks and recreation areas. One can take a leisurely stroll through the leaves at John Bryan State Park in nearby Yellow Springs, or feel the crisp air rushing by on a mountain biking trip to the MetroParks Mountain Biking Area.

Of course there’s plenty to do on campus as well. Autumn means the steady transition from outdoor to indoor parties, including the Hallow-een festivities that are the highlight of the fall party season. Besides parties, this weekend’s Rocktoberfest concert is bound to be a blast, and there are plenty of great intramural sports to be played. And with the National Football League season now in full swing, many students will have to make the tough choice between homework and their favorite teams every Sunday afternoon.

So don’t think of this time as the end of summer fun – think of it as another chance to appreciate the outdoors, but with colorful leaves and a cool breeze. Get outside, get active, and enjoy this time with your fellow Flyers. Just remember to pack a sweater.

To UD: don’t haze me bro!

LOUIS DE GRUYCOLUMNIST, SOPHOMORE

With the “revelation” of a video of Mitt Romney saying that 47 percent of Americans will vote for Barack Obama this November at a campaign dinner in May, some would have you believe that the GOP candidate has shamelessly written-off half of the country as dependent on govern-ment. What they don’t want to you to realize is this: according to the U.S. Census Bureau, 49 percent of Amer-icans live in a household in which at least one person receives some form of government assistance, and we have a government that doesn’t think that’s enough.

While Romney certainly lacked el-oquence in his off-the-cuff remarks to donors in May, he pointed out a startling truth that few in the media would point out to you. Nearly half of the country pays no income tax (not including payroll tax), but then nearly half of the country needs the help of the government to survive. While some say that it’s the role of government to “protect the least among us,” at what point did the least

among us total to nearly half of our population? It gets worse though, as our own government seems to think that this isn’t nearly enough. Ac-

cording to USA.gov, only 15 percent of the American population turns to government for help during tough times, and they “want to make sure you know about benefits that could help you.” Forty-nine percent of the population is receiving government assistance, only 15 percent are ask-ing for it, and somehow, we’re sup-

posed to think nothing of the gov-ernment saying more people need to ask for government assistance? Well, that was two months ago, and

nobody’s talking about it.Romney made his perhaps over-

simplified remarks on a very basic principle: If you’re getting more out of the government than you put in, why would you vote for someone who wants to give you less, or make you contribute more? Forty-seven percent of Americans would vote for

Obama because he’s the champion of big government that provides for them. But don’t take my word for it, just look at what he’s said. In a story far less mentioned, in 1998, Obama said that he was for redistribution. On camera. That’s redistribution as in, to quote Karl Marx, [taking]-from-each-according-to-his-ability-[giving]-to-each-according-to-his-need redistribution. But the Obama campaign says that it was from 1998, and the media leaves it at that. You only have to look at what Romney said in May to see that not only does Obama still believe in redistribu-tion today, he’s employing it, and it’s working. We’re not talking about a government that protects the least among us anymore; we’re talking about a government that bribes its own people with the confiscated wealth of successful individuals and businesses. If the Soviet Union was any indication, punishing the suc-cessful doesn’t benefit the “lowest among us,” it just punishes the suc-cessful and benefits the government.

Is it the role of government to protect the least among us? Indeed, as Matthew 25:40 says, it is our duty to watch out for those less fortunate than us. But isn’t that a personal responsibility, instead of a govern-ment one? You aren’t doing a good deed if you are coerced into doing it, and you certainly aren’t doing a good deed by reaching into some-body else’s wallet to help the less for-tunate. That’s plain theft, and that’s against the Ten Commandments. It’s our job individually to help the less fortunate, not the job of the mob to take from the rich and give to the needy. Personal responsibility and freedom always trump coercion and theft. That’s what’s at stake in this election, and at least Romney under-stands that.

Throughout our lives there are few celebrations that require an un-paralleled standard of excellence. College graduation is one of those times where we as students must demand the highest of standards from our university. We and our families have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into this school and we deserve, in our final hour as students, a grand goodbye. Unfortu-nately, the University of Dayton’s “decision makers” have decided against the widely practiced tradi-tion of inviting an established com-mencement speaker to send us off with words of wisdom and encour-agement.

Commencement speeches at graduations are a tradition in-stilled in the framework of some of the country’s most prestigious

institutions of higher learning. It’s a shame for the students who have given so much to their school, and an embarrassment for the univer-sity not to provide an exceptional speaker.

After reading the remaining portion of this article, ask your parents what they remember most about their college graduation cer-emonies; I guarantee they won’t re-member much. However, ask them who performed the commencement speech and I’d bet the face and words of the speaker still appear and echo in their minds. They won’t remember the student president’s speech or the university president’s for that matter (no offense President Curran); they will remember their commencement speaker. Unfortu-nately, UD has removed, for their

graduating seniors and their fami-lies, the opportunity to remember any such speech by abandoning the collegiate tradition of a commence-ment speaker.

The importance of a great com-mencement speaker stretches far beyond graduation day. An audi-ence of eager young minds, ready to enter the real world, has the op-portunity to find real inspiration in a simple speech that could change their mindset from landing a job to searching for a passion.

As of now, UD’s “decision mak-ers” feel that the ceremony should be limited and made as short as pos-sible. My question is, “Why are we worried about making the culmina-tion of four years an hour shorter?” I’d rather have a memorable cel-ebration than a dull graduation.

Over the past couple weeks I started a petition, contacted count-less university decision makers and reached out to possible commence-ment speakers. One possibility, Jon Gruden, would be an excellent candidate, in my opinion. UD is his alma mater and he is one of the most successful and noticeable Fly-ers around. Since graduating from UD in 1984 he has won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2003, worked for ESPN and Mon-day Night Football and traveled the country as a renowned motivational speaker with his intensity and in-spirational outlook on work and life.

This policy needs changing, not in the coming years, but now. This is my final year here at the great-est school I know and the place I’ve called home for the past four years.

This isn’t just for me; it’s for my fel-low seniors and those that will fol-low in our footsteps.

For there to be change, numbers must back the fight. So if you’d like your university to host a ceremony that reflects the needs and wants of its students; spread the word and sign the petition at: www.change.org/petitions/university-of-dayton-sponsor-a-key-note-speaker-for-the-graduation-ceremony-in-may-2013.

This way, when our children ask us about our graduation, we will have a story to tell.

The University of Dayton foot-ball team dropped its Pioneer Foot-ball League opener to Jacksonville University 21-17 on Saturday, Sept. 22, at Welcome Stadium.

The difference in the game was an 85-yard kickoff return by JU senior defensive back Colby Walden off a squib kick, which came with just 1:23 to play. The kickoff return was following a 12-play, 58-yard drive by the Flyers, which was capped off by a five-yard touchdown pass from red-shirt sophomore quarterback Will Bardo to redshirt freshman wide receiver Ross Smith.

According to Dayton head coach Rick Chamberlin, the squibbed kick took a large bounce, and land-ed right in the arms of Walden, who took it back for his second kickoff return touchdown on the year.

Prior to the conclusion to the game, the Flyers and Dolphins had a back and forth game.

UD jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter after redshirt se-nior kicker Pat Sankovic nailed his first career field goal, a 40-yarder, and Bardo tacked on a five-yard touchdown run.

Then the Dolphins changed the tide of the game after JU junior cornerback Andre Addison re-turned an interception 43 yards for a touchdown to cut the lead down to three.

With just over three minutes to go in the half, JU redshirt fresh-man quarterback Kade Bell com-pleted a 22-yard touchdown pass to sophomore tight end Andrew Robustelli to take the 14-10 lead.

However, the Flyers squan-dered two key opportunities in the fourth quarter of the game. The first was a fumble on the JU 20-yardline with 14:15 remaining, and the second was a turnover on downs on the JU 19-yardline with 7:59 left.

Chamberlin said it was tough on the players to lose such a hard fought game.

“The guys are disappointed,” Chamberlin said. “To fight like we did and to be that close, but we have to realize that this is the first league game, and even though we didn’t win it, we can’t dwell, and we need to be ready for the next game.”

For Bardo, the key to the loss

was not being able to put together a complete game.

“We played some great football at times; we just haven’t been able to put it together,” Bardo said. “And to beat teams like that, we have to play a full game as great as you can play it.”

On the offensive side of the ball, UD controlled the game sta-tistically, outgaining the Dolphins 338-252, and earning twice as many first downs (22). Leading the way was Bardo, who finished with 192 yards on 22 of 48 completions, with one touchdown and one intercep-tion. Bardo also added 58 yards on the ground, with another score.

With redshirt senior captain running back Taylor Harris out of the game due to injury, senior and redshirt senior running backs Robert Washington and Dan Jacob both added 75 yards rushing.

Now, even with a conference loss in the first PFL game, Bardo is not giving up on the possibility of still winning the title.

“It’s not over,” Bardo said.

“Like coach just told us, we’ve won PFL championships before with losses in league play. We have to learn from the good and the bad and just move on.”

As for Chamberlin, he said de-spite the tough loss, the team can’t

dwell on the past.“This game can’t have an effect,

the team knows that,” Chamber-lin said. “We made good plays, we just shot ourselves in the foot in the second half. We just have to respond positively and gear up

for Butler.”The Flyers are back on the road

The nation known for hockey is making a name for itself in the soccer world with two freshmen on the University of Dayton women’s soccer team.

Freshman forward Ashley Campbell, from Bradford, Ontar-io, Canada and midfielder Nicole Waters, from Terra Cotta, Ontario, Canada have been used to being successful in their respective soc-cer careers and have continued the trend at Dayton.

Both Campbell and Waters were members of the Canadian Nation-al Training Center from 2011-2012. The girls’ future plans are to work hard in order to get called up to play for the Canadian Under-20 team in two years for the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, which will be hosted by their na-tive country.

In high school, Campbell was a two-time Athlete of the Year and MVP in both her junior and senior years at Holy Trinity High School. She was head captain of the New-market United Soccer Club, who was also three-time Ontario Cup Champions. Campbell helped lead her team to the championship of the BMO Canadian National Championship in 2008, Crossroads of America Showcase Champion-

ship in 2009 and two consecutive Disney Showcase Finalists finish-es in 2010 and 2011.

“I am really trying to improve individually,” Campbell said. “Ev-ery year I want to win more and in order to get farther in the NCAA games each year.”

Campbell scored her first colle-giate goal against the University of Texas San Antonio on Aug. 19. She also scored the game-winning goal in the closing seconds of a double overtime match against Boston University on Aug. 23.

She has four goals and one as-sist this season thus far. She was also named Atlantic 10 Conference Rookie of the Week for the week of Aug. 27.

Waters attended Christ the King High School, where she was named Christ the King’s Most Promising Athlete in 2009. She was also hon-ored with Junior Athlete of the Year in 2010 and was the recipient of the Christ the King Sportsman-ship Award in 2011.

Her club team, Burlington Heat, was Ontario Cup Finalists in 2007 and 2011 and in the Ontario Youth Soccer League Championship in 2008. She also helped the Heat win a Gold Medal in the 2008 Canadian National Championships.

Waters scored her first colle-giate goal against Northwestern on Aug. 26. She has two goals and one assist so far this season and

also earned the Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week title for the first time on Sept. 10.

“I want to focus on improving

individually and to win an Atlan-tic 10 Championship this year and the next three years,” Waters said.

When asked what the differ-ences are between Canadian and United States soccer, both girls agreed that the women players in the U.S. are more competitive, fit, skilled and stronger. The duo also said with the amount of the players wanting to compete here being such a large group, it makes it harder to compete.

When asked what their favor-ite part about being a member of UD’s women’s soccer team, both girls could not have enough good things to say.

“The entire team and along with the coaches are all really close,” Campbell said. “The coaches work really hard to make us the best we can be and to support us.”

The Flyers are scheduled to face their first A-10 opponent of the season in the University of Massa-chusetts at 4 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 28 in Amherst, Mass.

The defending Atlantic 10 Con-ference champion University of Dayton volleyball team got off to another strong start in its attempt at a fourth straight conference crown at the Frericks Center.

Dayton (10-4, 2-0) defeated con-ference newcomer Butler Uni-versity on Friday, Sept. 21 before sweeping Saint Louis University on Saturday, Sept. 22.

“I thought we served the ball really well and Shayne Brown and Megan Campbell, both of them were really good on the slide [Saturday],” UD head coach Kelly Sheffield said.

Dayton on Saturday was led by close-to-unstoppable attacks from Campbell and Brown. Camp-bell had 11 kills to just one at-tack error, seven of which came in the first set, while Brown fin-ished with seven kills and a .538 hitting percentage.

“She’s like a freight train,” Shef-field said referring to Campbell. “She gets full steam ahead and [senior setter Samantha Selsky] puts her in a good position ... The connection had been struggling … but they put a lot of work in to fix it and it was seamless for a good portion of the night.”

Senior outside hitter Rachel Krabacher had 12 kills and fresh-man libero Janna Krafka had nine digs.

Dayton as a team had just one attack error in the first and third

sets, and finished with a .418 at-tack percentage.

“Sam was putting all the hitters in good situations and was play-ing the ball well,” Campbell said. “I thought everyone was hitting on all cylinders and hitting the ball well. It was just a good job by Sam.”

While the stats did not necessar-ily show it, Sheffield said the team was making a lot of adjustments early in the match to slow down SLU’s middle and right side play-ers. He said he was happy the team was serving well to help slow them down and not let SLU get the ball where they wanted to on the court.

Entering the intermission of its conference opener against Butler on Friday, the team wasn’t happy.

According to Sheffield, the team wasn’t worried about being tied with the Bulldogs though, as he said it was actually just the opposite.

“We were pissed,” Sheffield said. “All of our mistakes were mental, not physical.”

Dayton won the match 3-1 be-hind a stellar performance by Selsky. With 53 assists, Selsky out-assisted Butler on her own, who finished with 44. She also ac-complished the feat against SLU on Saturday with 37 assists to SLU’s 29.

“There’s a good [Selksy] and an evil one,” Sheffield said. “The evil one is who we had in the first two games. The good Sammy is the one we had in games 3 and 4.”

The Flyers again had a strong game from Campbell, who finished with 16 kills on a .682 hitting mark. Campbell leads all individuals in the A-10 with a .406 hitting per-centage this season.

Dayton’s strong statistical weekend helped the team maintain its conference leads in hitting per-centage, assists per set and kills per set this season.

Dayton next faces La Salle Uni-versity at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 28 in Philadelphia, Penn. before traveling to Temple University at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29.
