UAB’s Spring MuseFest concert cancelledThe premier programming board explains ideas for future concert planning
Brandon SemlerNews [email protected]
University Activities Board (UAB) is considering working with a promoter for next year’s spring concert after low ticket sales for this year’s event featuring the All American Rejects forced them to rethink their strategy, according to UAB President Kit Dysart.
UAB is the “premier programming board” at Wright State and is funded by Student Organization Budget Committee (SOBC) to provide events and activities for students, according to UAB. One of these events is an annual spring concert.
The 2013 “Spring Musefest” was the second straight concert
from UAB cancelled, and the third in the past four years. Dysart said that working with a professional concert promoter would increase the likelihood of the concert’s successful presentation.
“Going with a promoter, rather than an individual programmer, will make [the concert] a higher possibility.” Dysart said. “We would just work with the promoter, buy out a portion of the tickets and give them to the students, aiming for them to be free.”
UAB Major Events Coordinator Alicia Speaks said that the cancellation of the concert scheduled for March 21 (due to the illness of a performer) was
the organization because ticket sales were low.
“It wasn’t selling as well as we thought it would,” Speaks said. “We did not have enough to cover it.”
“We would have been in debt,” Dysart agreed.
UAB received $114,209 from SOBC for the 2012-2013 year, consuming nearly a sixth of SOBC’s total funding and serving as the second largest budget of any student organization, according to SOBC.
Student Government Chief of Staff Spencer Brannon said the SOBC committee should not automatically assume that UAB needs the large portion of funding that they regularly receive.
“Some years, UAB doesn’t work up to snuff,” Brannon said. “Some years it doesn’t contribute to campus as some orgs might with the money.”
Brannon said the concert cancelation was “ due to no fault of UAB’s,” but that the funding
concert could be better spent elsewhere if UAB could not secure performers.
“If [UAB] is not able to secure acts, then that money may be better used elsewhere on campus in student orgs that don’t rely on other people
to better the campus,” Brannon said.
The UAB concert that did survive in the past four years
took place in 2011, featuring the artist KE$HA. The concert sold out, and was so successful that UAB still has revenue from it, according to Dysart.
Dysart said that some of the funding from this year’s cancelled concert would go into the UAB “April Craze” event,
music. April Craze is another example of the service that UAB brings campus, according to Dysart.
“We’re here to program for the WSU students,” Dysart said. “We have a lot of diverse and fun events that are free to the Wright State students.”
Full refunds for “Spring Musefest” are available at the Student Union and Nutter Center

Student employees soon to face cut in hours
Student employees could soon be limited to a maximum of 24 hours of work per week due to federal regulations resulting from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, according to Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Gary Dickstein.
Dickstein spoke at the Student Government meeting Tuesday night during advisory reports, and said that federal regulations from the upcoming healthcare
reform will require employees working over 30 hours to receive
which will force Wright State to reduce student employee hours.
“Obviously [students] can’t be considered employees and

that creates a process that is in the best interest of our students to work the maximum amount of hours they can within the budgetary constraints that this new policy creates,” Dickstein said.
In addition to restricting the number of hours a student can work in a given week, the changes will require every student worker to use a timecard, and will limit international students to 20 hours a week due to Immigration and Naturalization Service laws and standards, according to Dickstein.
Dickstein said that Resident Assistants, Graduate Teaching
Assistants and President Ambassadors will also be affected, though he is not yet sure exactly what changes will be put in effect for these positions.

W ho Dares Wins: Thoughts on the Upcoming Black Student Union ElectionsPhillip LoganStudent Submission [email protected]
It is always a joy to see young people engaging in the ins and outs of student-civic life, especially when such engagement is in the realm of politics. It is an even greater joy to see students of color experiencing the practice of voting in the present when it was systematically denied to previous generations.
However, I do not wish to write a ritualistic tribute about the ‘sanctity’ of voting, but something of a more substantive matter. What I want to talk about today is the mandate of responsibility that comes with being elected. While I certainly am not exempt from this being a recently elected
as COLA Senator, I believe it is my personal duty to deliver a message to the candidates for Black Student Union and their soon to be constituents.
Calling attention to the concerns that were raised at the ‘Black-Out’ student town hall over a month ago, I still maintain my deepest conviction that there is a responsibility on behalf of the Black Student Union to tend to social, cultural, and academic welfare of Black students on the campus of Wright State University. Cognizant of the many unspoken testimonies of mistreated black and African students on campus by allegedly culturally insensitive, if not discriminatory policies, or, the insensitive conduct of campus police and private security forces;; past, present and future, I believe that the instance of any member of the Black student body desiring leadership in the
most visible Black Student group on campus is a family affair.
Knowing some of the problems that black students
have dealt with on this campus,
this past fall, I can’t help but voice my concern that too few of the candidates for the BSU presidency and e-board have demonstrated a concrete interest in the ongoing reform efforts to improve the relationship between black students, the administration, and Wright State at large.
The organization known as CABU (The Committee for the
Advancement of Black Unity) has taken up such struggles which, in my honest opinion, should be the priority of the Black Student
Union by the virtue of being that Black Student Unions exist for this very reason.
Fully aware that the constitution for the Black Student Union states the motto “Recruit, Retain, Unify,” it is perplexing that the latter two principles have appeared to have been disregarded by past and current administrations. It is my wish that the 2013-2014 year is a year of new direction.
There are several questions that the candidates should ask
themselves, and that voters
candidates] dare to step into the arena of black leadership:
1. How deep is your love for the people?
2. What are you willing
dignity and humanity of your constituents?
3. Are you willing to go against the grain and do the right thing?
4. Can the black students of Wright State count on you to defend them against unfair practices, and not apologize for those who have repeatedly disregarded their concerns?
“You can’t lead the people if you don’t love the people. You can’t save the people if you don’t serve the people.”
- Cornel West
“Are you willing to go against the grain and do the right thing?”
I recently had the pleasure of tasting some delicious chocolate covered strawberries. They were smooth, sweet, crisp, and tasty (in that order). However… I couldn’t help notice how gargantuan they were. It took two BIG mouthfuls to put them down!
I remembered once trekking through the woods;; I found some clearly recognizable strawberries. They were approximately the size of a grape. It shocked me how small they were compared to a normal strawberry.
On that aforementioned day, the mahogany draped strawberries seemed gargantuan to the norm.

I’m not about to suggest new regulations to prevent the sale of GM food. Industry leaders will just ignore the regulations, small businesses will be stomped out, and the government gets some new patrons protected by favorable legal protection;; favorable in the sense that the GM food market has a prohibitively high entry cost.
However, I thank Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s for their efforts in regards to labeling GM foods of their own accord.
If you’d like more info on how to avoid GM food, Greenpeace makes a nice little shoppers guide titled “How to Avoid Genetically Engineered Food” and the Center for Food Safety has a “True Food Shoppers Guide” as well. Alternatively, growing your own food is a rewarding and doubly healthy exercise.

A computer used by a Wright State student and Guardian employee to send anonymous emails to a WSU professor was removed from The Guardian’s newsroom on March 8 at about 11 a.m. by a member of CaTS.
The contents of the emails were not made public. In addition to the emails, an internet meme, using the professor’s face superimposed onto a picture of the Dos Equis World’s Most Interesting Man character was shared on March 4 from the student’s Facebook page.
The professor who was the subject of the emails and the meme did not respond to the Guardian’s request for comment.
After the computer was taken from The Guardian, Associate Director of Student Activities Debra Lamp said Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs and Director of Community Standards and Student Conduct Gary Dickstein “had shared information” with Lamp regarding the computer and the emails sent to the professor on March 11.
Paul Hernandez, director of CaTS, said that while this type of occurrence is not necessarily common, it has happened before.
“It happens from time to time, but I wouldn’t necessarily call it ‘common’,” Hernandez said. “It depends on what the needs are and what requests come in.

There are a number of checks and balances in play and it does require some subpoena or legal action.”
“There was a professor that had a concern about anonymous emails being sent. He asked if the department (CaTS) could identify who was sending them,” Dickstein said. “If someone is using a university computer in an inappropriate way, it would be appropriate for CaTS to look into that.”
Lamp contacted the WSU Police Dept. to ask if the department should take possession of the computer. When asked by The Guardian about the police’s involvement with the computer, WSU Police Captain David Ratliff said an
but that there was “no need for a report.”
The daily crime log showed no record of the computer being removed or returned by CaTS. Dickstein said because the incident was not a crime, “the amount of information that is kept by the police is very limited, if any at all.”
On March 13, Lamp said Dickstein approved the computer’s return to The Guardian. Lamp said she was then asked by Dickstein to meet with the student on March 14 “to let him know that he needed to step away from The Guardian.”
“[The student] was very big about it, very gentlemanly and completely understood,” Lamp
very remorseful.”Lamp said the student was
not suspended from WSU, and when asked if the student was still a part of the university in every other capacity, Lamp said, “absolutely.”
In email response, the
student told The Guardian that “the emails were sent out of frustration over [the professor] failing to spend nearly any class time covering material relevant to the class.”
“While it was unprofessional to send anonymous emails, I feel that many students at Wright State can understand the frustration of teachers not teaching class material and then passing off what they were supposed to cover in class as homework.”
“I obviously should have handled my frustration in a more mature sense;; however, I refuse to pay thousands of dollars a year to not be taught material that I’m going to be required to know in my career.”
The student said he and Lamp “have decided that a presentation for next year’s Guardian staff during orientation would be a probable solution to what happened.” The student said that the presentation needs

ArtsGala shows off
students’ talent
Each year the arts
departments work together
to produce one of the biggest
events at Wright State, the
ArtsGala.
ArtsGala will take place in the
Creative Arts Center on April
6, 6:30 p.m. to midnight. This
event is open to the public.
The ArtsGala displays
talented students who study
theater. The event raised $1.4
million in the past years and
gives students the chance to
receive scholarships. The event
allows sponsors and patrons
in the community to enjoy
entertainment and see what
WSU has to offer.
“People who come to
this event are constantly
moving from room to room
and experiencing different
selections such as jazz and
other music, the theater’s
production of “Grand Hotel,”
art work on display,” Chair of
ArtsGala Jennifer Buckwalter
said. “I really enjoy seeing so
many students passionate
about their work.”
“This event is really catered
towards community members
with tickets being $200,
however students are still
encouraged to support their
fellow peers at the music
concerts and theater shows
throughout the year that are
only $20,” Buckwalter said.
According to Buckwalter,
600 community members are
expected to come and they
expect to raise over $100,000.
This event also features a
silent auction with over 100
items, wine tasting and a sports
lounge so community members
can watch the NCAA basketball
tournament.
The ArtsGala started in 2000
when the dean of the college
of liberal arts came up with
the idea to have all of the arts
chairs work together to provide
students with scholarships.
Eventually the event gained
momentum and corporate
sponsors started to contribute.
Today, ArtsGala is a way
for WSU to provide aid to
the departments and the
students who study these
programs. ArtsGala attendants
include businesses, sponsors,
community members and
potential WSU students.
“There is nothing like this
in Dayton,” Buckwalter said.
“This really is the premiere
arts event. People can expect
to have a really great time
with a lot of high energy. It’s a
chance to dress up, see your
friends and enjoy yourself, and,
most important, it’s for a great
cause.”
According to Buckwalter,
ArtsGala is a yearlong project.
Unlike other art events, the
ArtsGala allows patrons to
comment and feedback to
students at the end of the night.
“I really enjoy seeing so many
people passionate about their
work. These students work so
hard and are still having fun,”
Buckwalter said. “What makes
this event so fantastic is that
not one room is the same, so
people get a taste of dance, art,

or those who are having car
troubles, Wright State’s Student
Automotive Association offers
vehicular advice.
The Student Automotive
Association was originally called
the Car Club and members had
high performance vehicles.
Michael Norris, a faculty
sponsor of the association,
owns a 1972 Porsche 911 that
he likes to drive in autocrosses.
“Joining a club like this gives
you a support network to help
keep your car in a high state
the environment and solves
technical problems,” Norris
said.
The students of the group
offer free advice for students
that may have automotive
issues.
“This program is designed
to help participants pick the
proper vehicle for their needs,
and deal that they may be
eligible for,” Student Automotive
Association President Jonathan
Saul said. “We also have
the Wright Buy program to
help students that may have
automotive issues.”
Students studying abroad at
this group by getting assistance
when purchasing a car and
insurance according to Saul.
“There are members from all
walks including some who know
a lot about cars to people who
know very little and are willing
to learn,” Saul said.
There are thirty active
members who take part in the
association on campus.
According to Saul, not only
does this organization provide
useful information, they have
fun throughout the school year
by going to car shows, having
fundraisers and check-off
events.
“The check off events offer
students the ability to have
a free safety check done of
their vehicle before adverse
conditions,” Saul said.
In the past, they hosted
tailgate events at Wright State
soccer games.
The Student Automotive
Association is a chapter of the
Sports Car Club of America
(SCCA). Students can become
a member and enjoy discount
membership rates and
experience club racing.
Students are able to “rent
vehicles to try their hand at
motor sports that they wouldn’t
normally be able to afford such
as rally cross and autocross,”
Saul said.
There are even opportunities
to earn free track time by
volunteering at local and
national events. The group also
attends the Chicago Auto Show.
The Student Automotive
Association meets at 7 p.m.
every other Wednesday in room

According to the Alpha Xi Delta Sorority, autism is a complex brain disorder that inhibits a person’s ability to communicate and develop social relationships, and is often accompanied by behavioral challenges. Autism Speaks
is dedicated to increasing awareness of Autistic Spectrum Disorders, funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and cures for autism and advocating for the needs of affected families. Suzanne and Bo Wright, the grandparents of a child with autism, founded Autism Speaks in 2005.
Autism Speaks has merged with both the National Alliance for Autism Research and Cure Autism Now, bringing together the nation’s three leading autism advocacy organizations.
“We have many ways for students to get involved this
month,” Secrest said. “We plan to give out 3,000 puzzle pins to students on campus. The puzzle pins represent autism awareness.”
Alpha Xi Delta’s will host the WSU baseball game on March 28 and encourages students to come out and show their support. During the game a family’s child with autism will
The sorority will also have their annual Amazing Challenge fundraiser at Quaker Steak and Lube. People will be able to enjoy great food, give donations and sing karaoke for a cure.

WSU used a late comeback to overcome the Spiders. Trailing 48-45 with 4:13 left, the Raiders ended the game on an 11-3 run, fueled by juniors Jerran Young (13 points) and Miles Dixon (14 points). Dixon hit a number of running jumpers and slowed the Richmond attack with gritty defense, while Young punctuated a 9-0 run with a thunderous dunk at the 1:13 mark to put the game away.
