In a downed economy, everyone is looking for a little more bang for their buck. Whether shopping for school books, new clothes or entertainment, people have just come to expect deals and sales to sweeten their

purchases — and that’s ex-actly what the Razorback Foundation is doing right now with their all-new ac-cess pass.

This year, the access pass will be $85, the same as last year, but students have the choice to pay a little more for extra benefits.

For an additional $15, premium pass purchasers will be offered the chance to

become members of the Ra-zorback Foundation, which will give them access to pri-ority bowl tickets, Razor-back gift packs and an exclu-sive event with Razorback Head Coach Bret Bielema.

The coordinators of these new incentives hoped not only that fans would become excited about the events, but that purchasers of the additional features would

become a part of the Razor-back family.

“They (students) are the ones attending all of the sporting events in the nice facilities and enjoying a big Razorback win,” said Mallori Sando, director of commu-nications for the Razorback Foundation’s student execu-tive board. “Due to the fact

New Access Pass Offers More Incentives

On-campus elevators with expired permits have passed inspection and are safe to use as o!cials wait for certi"cates of approval to arrive from the state, o!cials from the depart-ment of facilities management said.

Elevator permits expired March 31, but most of the el-evators on campus passed the latest inspection, which oc-curred in late February and

early March, said Bryan Sto-ver, maintenance coordinator.

Some elevators failed in-spections, but the failures were not due to safety-related issues, Stover said. #e emer-gency phone and alarm bell caused some elevators to fail, and the elevator in Mullins Library also failed because of issues with its self-closing and

#e Arkansas Traveler is moving from a daily to a weekly publication next year because of a projected $72,000 budget de"cit that arose from a decrease in ad-vertising revenues.

“It’s not optimal,” said Nick Brothers, next year’s editor-in-chief. “I think a

daily is the best way to have a paper, but I don’t look at it as a bad thing. It opens up new opportunities.”

Next year, the paper will be published on Wednes-days, and the online website will expand its coverage, Brothers said. Additional pages will be added to the paper and will include lon-ger, more in-depth stories, he said.

“I’m in support of a weekly publication as long as it saves money,” said Mark Cambre, sophomore computer engineering ma-jor. “#e paper will probably be better quality too because

writers won’t be as rushed as in a daily paper.”

A longer paper will also allow Traveler sta$ to focus on design and the visual components of the paper, Brothers said. He said he wants to incorporate large, captivating photos and more graphics into the paper and the website, as well as more multimedia.

Although the website is still developing, the on-line expansion will create a

new online editor position, Brothers said. #e editor will be responsible for post-ing content and making sure the website is clean, acces-sible and visually appealing, he said. #e site will be up-dated daily and will include shorter, breaking news sto-ries, he said.

“I didn’t even know we had a website,” Cambre said, “but I’d like to see links to other popular news sites, so instead of going to multiple websites, I can get it all at the Traveler.”

Brothers said he does not

that athletics as a whole — scholarships, uniforms, fa-cilities, et cetera — is sup-ported by the Razorback Foundation, it makes the most sense for the students attending games and buy-ing the all-access pass to join the Razorback Foun-

dation team.”Sando said the new

pass was the brainchild of Razorback Foundation intern Lauren Waldrip, who helped to create and select the executive board

and committees for the organization. The commit-tees’ promotions have been well received on social media sites such as Twit-ter, with wide appeal at in-formational sessions held while tailgating baseball games, as well as the Red

and White spring football game.

“The Razorback Foun-dation wanted a collegiate level of membership to al-low students to give back to athletics and the foun-

dation while in college,” Sando said. “However, they wanted there to be a re-duced price. Therefore, one can join the foundation for only $15 when purchasing the access pass.”

The foundation direc-tors’ goal is to offer mem-bers benefits that no other sporting organization of-fers, with incentives that make students eager to re-join each year.

The only limit to the amount of exclusive, spe-cial events held is the num-ber of individuals who plan to join the founda-tion, Sando said, but with the growing restlessness of eager Hog fans across cam-pus, that number is not ex-pected be easily counted.

The access passes will be on sale May 6.

self-locking doors, he said.Elevators that failed in-

spection will be "xed by a maintenance contractor, Stover said. Once the UA has signed o$ on the repairs, they can receive state certi"-cates, he said.

“I can’t even remember the last safety-related issues of the elevators not func-tioning properly,” he said. “A problem cropping up in an inspection is really rare.”

#ere are 135-140 verti-cal mobility machines on campus, which include el-evators, chair li%s, stair li%s and dumbwaiters, Stover

said. Passenger elevators are inspected twice a year by a third-party inspector hired by the UA, and they are li-censed by the elevator safety division within the Arkan-sas Department of Labor, he said.

A%er reviewing the ma-chines, the inspection com-pany sends a report to the Arkansas Department of Labor. #e state then sends an invoice for certi"cates of elevators that have no prob-lems. #e UA must autho-rize payment and wait for the certi"cates to be sent in the mail, he said.

#e UA has been charged for the majority of elevators but is waiting for the certi"-cates to arrive, Stover said. #e facilities management department has received about a dozen already, and

Stover said he expects to re-ceive the rest by the end of April.

Once the certi"cates have been received, they will be distributed to the eleva-tor owners, Stover said. #e academic buildings contain the largest number of eleva-tors, he said. #e second-largest owner is University Housing, followed by the athletics department, the Arkansas Union, and the transit and parking depart-ment.

#e elevator and safety division conducts business with the UA, but the funds for the maintenance of el-evators comes from each of these departments on an individual basis, Stover said.

#e next inspection will be in August or September, he said.

expect the weekly publication to decrease readership, but expected it to stay the same or increase.

“Our motto is ‘About you and for you,’ and we’re work-ing hard to "nd out what is relevant to students,” he said. “Every editor will tell you they

want to produce an award-winning paper, and we’re working more toward that ev-ery day.”

Some students, however, said easy access to the physi-cal paper increases their like-lihood of reading it.

“I would be more inclined

to pick up a paper than go-ing online because I wouldn’t really think about reading it until I actually saw the pa-per,” Cambre said.

To engage students and increase readership, Brothers said he is considering send-ing out Traveler newsletters

to students through email, but the idea has not been officially decided on or ap-proved.

“Right now it’s still just projections,” Brother said. “We’re in the ‘what if ’ stages, but other than that, it’s busi-ness as usual.”

#e longtime campus news-paper at UC Irvine may be forced to cease printing in the next year if students fail to ap-proved a quarterly fee to help sustain the weekly publication.

Like newspapers across the country, rising printing costs have forced UCI’s weekly New University to cut back, accord-ing to the paper’s student editor.

Once a robust 60-page news-paper, the paper has shrunk to 24 pages in the last six years and editors have had their com-pensation chopped in half, now earning between $24 and $50 a week.

Students are now voting on Measure U, which asks for a 99-cent quarterly fee to support the student-run newspaper. Vot-ing began Monday and runs through Friday. Results will be announced next week.

“What would happen is if it doesn’t pass? We think that we would be able to sustain the print [edition] for one more year. A%er that we would have to go all digital,” said New Uni-versity Editor in Chief Jessica Pratt.

#e referendum would ease that transition, hopefully sus-taining the physical product for an additional "ve years and possibly building reserves while students discern the future of New University’s print edition, Pratt said.

“We’ll see how we are a%er "ve years because we don’t really know where it’s going,” she said.

Professional and student newspapers have been making the transition to online-only publication while struggling with lagging advertising and ris-ing printing costs. While met-ropolitan newspapers like the Los Angeles Times and Orange County Register have put up paywalls and charge readers for online content, others have shut their doors or gone online only.

Pratt said those options would be devastating to New University’s readership. About 8,000 free copies are printed weekly. Other options could undermine the independence of the paper, which currently takes no money from the university.

“We can’t exactly go to the administration for money be-cause that’s a con&ict of interest, so we thought that we could go to students,” Pratt said.

If Measure U passes, under-graduates would pay 99 cents a quarter except in the summer. A third of the money would go back to funding "nancial aid, a campus policy requirement for new student fees.

#e remaining 66% would fund printing -- which Pratt said runs more than $1,500 a week for the reduced-size is-sue -- and other production costs. New University would also provide an annual report to show the money is being spent properly, according to Measure U’s text.

Pratt said people she had spoken to were generally sup-portive of the fee when they un-derstood the issue, but there’s a signi"cant hurdle.

“To be completely honest, I am a little worried about our chances,” she said.

To pass, at least 25% of the student population must vote and 60% of those must approve of Measure U.

In last year’s election, about 6,200 people, or 28% of under-graduate students, participated in the vote, Associated Students Election Commissioner John Delshadi said.

It’s typical to reach that needed quorum in spring elec-tions, but it’s also common for students to turn down fee in-creases, he said.

Delshadi said a student gov-ernment measure and a bus measure failed to be approved last year when they were on the ballot with a tuition hike.

“#ose factors combined pushed it toward the ‘no’ side,” he said.

Including Measure U, there are three measures on the April ballot asking for increased stu-dent contributions, he said.

New University sta$ers have tried to get a student fee to sup-port the newspaper before and failed, Pratt said. She hoped the fact that Measure U asks for just 99 cents would change the out-come.

“I think it’s just a matter of making people understand that we’re independent and this is pretty much our last resort,” she said.

Traveler Quote of the Day“!e Razorback Foundation wanted a collegiate level of membership to allow

Mallori Sando, Director of Communications for Razorback Foundation’s Student Executive Board

“New Access Pass O"ers More Incentives” Page 1

I’ve been peppered with love and a!ection, by peers, teachers, friends and my fam-ily. I’ve been told hundreds of times my generation will go on to do incredible things. With smartphones, cheap travel options and the incred-ible creativity we bring to the table, the next 15 years are limitless.

We are the Millennials. "e go-getters. Generation Y. We are linked in. We are part of a social network. We are in constant communication with each other. I know when my older brother is in a foul mood before he does. Which makes the events in Boston even harder to believe.

Two brothers, 26 and 19, lived in the U.S. for about a decade. From many of the interviews of friends and ac-quaintances, these two broth-ers were just normal students, for the most part. "ey are a part of our generation of ac-tive, involved, connected stu-dents.

And while many of us put our Millennial power into so-cial work, ministry, commu-nity service or various extra-curricular activities, these two brothers put their time into making bombs and terroriz-ing the city of Boston, as well as the U.S.

"e younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was captured last week, is the same age as my sister. While my sis-ter enjoys her involvement in sororities on K-State’s campus, Tsarnaev was involved in a shooting of a bystanding MIT

campus police o#cer. While my sister le$ her car at home because navigating classes is easy as a freshman on cam-pus, Tsarvaev was involved in hijacking a getaway car.

I have so much trouble comprehending the series of events. No one knew. In an age where it seems I have too much information on too many friends’ personal lives, no one was following these two brothers. It’s frightening that their minds and desires went to terrorizing with ex-plosives.

I am as anxious as ev-eryone else to see what this younger brother has to say. According to USA Today, the brother’s uncle, Rusilan Tsar-ni, said Tsarnaev was “used” by his older brother. I cannot fathom using my younger sis-ter to such an end. I %rst know that Rosie would know better despite her unwavering trust in me. I know Rosie cannot keep a secret and would send out smoke signals asking for help. And I know Rosie would never follow through on a plan to hurt others.

"is 19-year-old boy made conscious decisions with his 26-year-old brother, which resulted in four deaths and hundreds of injuries, includ-ing amputees, whose lives will never be the same.

Now, what are we sup-posed to do? Say this child was young. He made a mis-take? Remember all the stupid things we did in college. Did he have a bad role model? I don’t think so. We Millennials need to come up with a cre-ative solution to this problem, though. How can we combat someone who may be in class with us one day, but a terrorist the next? What do we change to prevent this from happen-ing again?

We are Talking About My Sister’s Age

MCT Campus

In the days following a national tragedy, a strange thing sometimes happens in America: We stop. For just a moment, everyone isn’t al-ways on the move or with his or her face in a cellphone. For a small period of time, we look around us. We become thankful for what we have. We live in the present. We don’t allow what was so ter-rible to ruin us. We allow it to shape us.

It would be naive to as-sume that “stopping” means

the same thing for every one of us. I prefer to sit outside a little longer in the evenings. I sing just a little louder with my windows down. For you, perhaps it’s solace in your fa-vorite song. Perhaps it’s the wind in the trees. Perhaps it’s nothing more than a feeling, thought or prayer.

But we’re here. We lost some great people that day. Other’s had their lives ru-ined. "eir sacri%ce shouldn’t go unmentioned, and their names shouldn’t be soon forgotten. And yet, we can’t imagine it that way, their names alone remembered. We need to imagine it this way.

We need to imagine that for this cause, we are %nally one. "ere’s no Democrat, and there’s no Republican. "ere are simply men and women and Washington. And in the days following something like this, they be-come united.

Whether or not you sub-scribe to a destination for

those a!ected, you can’t help to ignore others have been af-fected. Sympathy is in all of us. And in the wake of this tragedy, we become one.

In the days following the Boston bombings, there is a seemingly groggy atmo-sphere. We feel something just barely wrong, tugging at our heartstrings. And at some point during the day, we remember. "e photos come back when the news comes on. People, thousands of people — people who ran because they were patriots, if only for a day — are still struggling with the cruel re-alities.

In the midst of such events, a lot of stories become “news.” Your friends have opinions, as do the political pundits. Everyone decides it’s their turn to talk. So they take to the Internet and the TV and they speak on things they may know very little about.

I think we have a good op-portunity to ask some ques-

tions of ourselves in a time like this. When you heard, where did you turn? Did you log into Twitter? Did you go to Fox or CNN? Did you call your mom or dad? Sister or brother? Were you still mad about impending %nals or an assignment? Maybe, another time, another place, it could have been me in the blast. Maybe, another time, an-other place, these two broth-ers wouldn’t have become the Boston Bombers.

Maybe, we can all come together. We can forget our di!erences and our disagree-ments. We can forget our sad-ness and our sorrows. We can forget the way the world sees us. We can stand together, and be silent. All of us. Yes, we can all become one.

Boston Pauses Daily Lives

Bad Journalism Fuels Terrorism Hysteria

What is wrong with the New York Post?

"ursday morning, the tabloid newspaper’s front page featured a huge photo of two young men with back-packs, with the giant head-line: “Bag Men: Feds seek these two pictured at Boston Marathon.”

In the online story, the pair’s faces had big red cir-cles around them. Yes, sort of like targets. Turns out, the young men had nothing to do with the blasts.

"ursday a$ernoon, the Post backpedaled: “Inves-tigators have now cleared the two men whose pictures were circulated last night in an email among law enforce-ment o#cials, sources told "e Post today. Authorities determined neither had any information or role in Mon-day’s attacks at the Boston Marathon.”

A$er an appropriate hail of criticism, Post Editor Col Allan, incredibly, defended

his decision to smear two innocent men. And yes, that was a smear.

“We stand by our story,” Allan said in a statement sent to several news orga-nizations. “"e image was emailed to law enforcement agencies yesterday a$ernoon seeking information about these men, as our story re-ported. We did not identify them as suspects.”

True. "e story didn’t identify the pair by name, and did not call them “sus-pects.” But by making a lame pun about their backpacks, the Post leaped past any kind of journalistic restraint and implied the men were sus-pects in the case. How could you read the photo and the giant headline any other way?

ABC News tracked down one of the young men, actu-ally, a teenager, slimed by the Post:

“Salah Barhoun, 17, said he went to the police yester-day to clear his name a$er he found himself tagged in

pictures online. He had just gone to watch the race, he said, but soon a$er the ex-plosions, he was singled out by Internet sleuths as look-ing suspicious. Federal au-thorities passed around im-ages of Barhoun, attempting to learn more information about him, sources told ABC News.”

When the FBI did release photographs of two men it is seeking in connection with the attacks "ursday a$ernoon, they didn’t look anything like the two young men whose lives the Post tried to ruin.

News organizations have performed spectacularly this week, but it is their un-fortunate lapses that will be remembered, and probably taught as cautionary tales.

On Wednesday, CNN, Fox News and the Associ-ated Press erroneously re-ported that an arrest had been made in the case. Other outlets, including "e Times, then reported what those other news outlets

were saying. NBC and the New York Times did not re-port the faux arrest, nor did they report what others were saying.

But CNN had a double dose of egg on its face when veteran reporter John King said his sources told him that the arrestee was a “dark-skinned male.” King quali-%ed the statement as much as possible, and cautioned not to leap to conclusions, but once he uttered the phrase, the damage was done.

Claims feed into stereo-types and a#rm our worst prejudices. A Saudi Ara-bian kid running from the blast must be the suspect. A couple of swarthy backpack-toting kids watching the race must be the suspects. "e New York Post promulgated both those stories.

"is is how hysteria starts.

“Making Your Journey Worthwhile”

A!er years of maintaining a 3.5 grade point average and taking honors courses, honors stu-dents are now preparing to defend their theses.

For her honors thesis, senior art major Em-ily Chase made three life-size three-dimension-al dresses as a part of an exhibition, “Cra!ed Identities,” which also displays the work of two other honors art students, Melissa Love and Jean Vockroth.

Chase is actually a painting major with little experience in sculpture, but it was her the-sis director who encouraged her to tackle the large paper dresses. When Chase was throwing around ideas to come up with her thesis, she expressed interest in fairy tales. Each dress is based on emotional processes, but uses fairy tales as a springboard, she said.

For example, one of the dresses, Husk, looks very worn, as if it may fall apart, and is based o" of the “Sleeping Beauty” narrative.

“I was trying to talk about the experience of exhaustion ... what happens to people if le! for a hundred years,” Chase said.

Another is based o" of Little Red Riding Hood, which is about guilt, she said.

“You make a mistake, and it eats away at you. It’s about losing your way and having con-sequences that you don’t forsee,” she said. #e cape and hood symbolize shame and the want to hide something, she said.

Chase had to write a $ve to six page thesis proposal, an outline for what she was planning to do that described her art background. #en, she met with her thesis director about once a week to discuss the designs for her dresses and the writing that went along with the project.

“I’ve always really loved to make things, and I don’t think I could ever stop making things ... Art is a really powerful thing that can really transform people, help people make sense of their complex lives. #at’s what it helps me do,” she said.

For Chase, the honors thesis has been a learning experience. She spent three months

constructing the $rst dress until it was com-plete, a month and a half on the second and a month on the third.

“Part of the reason I decided to go to school here was for the honors college,” Chase said. She also chose painting as her major above the other arts because she wanted to work with the professor who she chose to be her thesis direc-tor, she said.

Chase said she had to choose her director and someone from her department to be on her thesis committee, and a third member out-side of her department was chosen for her. #e three will ask her various questions about her work, and in order to graduate with honors, she will have to show that she is knowledgeable about her project and be able to justify her rea-soning. Chase is used to having her work cri-tiqued, which she said makes her less nervous about defending her thesis.

“Picking people on your committee that you trust, doing work that you’re con$dent in and de$nitely knowing your work is important,” Chase said.

“Joy to the World”, “Oh Happy Day” and “Amazing Grace” are all common gospel songs, but an organization on campus goes outside the worship singing box as they com-bine African culture with modern styles of music.

Inspirational Chorale began in 1977, when black students sought a way to express them-selves through their culture and the Inspira-tional Singers was an excellent vehicle for that purpose, according to the Inspirational Cho-rale website.

Inspirational Chorale tries its best to pre-serve culture through music, said Nicole Pas-chal, sophomore psychology major. IC not only sings gospel songs, but they incorporate di"erent languages too, such as Swahili and other African languages. #e advisor, Eddie Jones, always connects the songs with historic ideas making IC a class and a choir.

When people think of choirs, the typical idea of a group of people singing is not always exciting, but IC comprises of UA students who have fun with their hobby of gospel.

“Inspirational Chorale performances en-compass several styles of music,” said Jim Curry, junior career and technology educa-tion major. “While our main focuses are tra-ditional and contemporary hymn and gospel, we've also sung spirituals and even an African chant or two. It is very di"erent from a high school choir, where you are taught to stand still and be solemn. At Inspirational Chorale singers are exuberant as they clap their hands and move their body to praise the Lord.”

Inspirational Chorale is also a class, MUEN 3421/5421, that emphasizes perfor-mance on African American literature along with spiritual and contemporary gospel mu-sic, according to the IC website.

“I joined Inspirational Chorale because I love music and people and singing praises,” Paschal said. “I actually stumbled into my $rst choir rehearsal last fall when Dr. Jones let me sit in to check it out. I was so warmly wel-comed by everyone and I felt so at home with the songs and general atmosphere that I have been a member ever since.”

Anyone can join Inspirational Chorale by contacting Dr. Jones at [email protected]

and setting up an audition.Many people join Inspire because they

love to sing, Curry said. “#e most important reason for people to join is for the spiritual experience. Whether people have had a long relationship with Christ or are just starting to know him better, Inspire is the RSO to join.”

#e choir has shown a positive impact on those who were not fully committed to col-lege. Research found that students who par-ticipate in UA Inspirational Singers for one or two semesters graduated college at a 64% rate. Students participating for more than two semesters graduated college at a 78% rate ac-cording to their website.

“IC is brought together by choir, but it is more of a family,” Paschal said. “All of the members joke around and genuinely care about each other’s lives. Each person brings some important to the group that the choir can notice speci$c absences because things sound or feel o". It is a really fun break in the middle of my classes throughout the day.”

Inspire performs a bene$t concert every year for a di"erent non-pro$t organization. #ey also collect canned goods to help assist students who are single parents for their pro-gram called Project Care.

“IC is for anyone who loves music, and it gives people an opportunity to experience and broaden their horizon in college,” Pas-chal said. “Some performances o"er mem-bers the chance to travel to new places. In August Inspire will be singing in Ireland, for the Kilkenny Music Festival, and right now Inspire is recording a CD. Choirs are always a good experience to meet new people and improve your voice, but Inspire adds an extra support system and general blessing to your week.”

Being on stage singing may not seem like the ideal situation to some people, but IC al-lows members to sing without judgment as they form or strengthen their spiritual rela-tionships.

“#ere are several things I love about IC,” Curry said. “First of all the people, we are more than classmates, we are a family that laughs together, cries together, and li!s one another up in prayer. I have met some of my best friends in IC. Inspire is also a safe place for everyone. When the choir is rehearsing or performing on stage, people are free to praise God openly and honestly. Everyone is accept-ed and loved by the group no matter where they stand in their walk with Christ.”

For students staying in Fayetteville for the sum-mer, the options of entertainment and community may seem bleak; usual friend groups are gone and the town may feel emptier than usual.

#is is a perfect opportunity to join a book club at Nightbird Books on Dickson Street. #e inde-pendently-owned local bookstore o"ers a few op-tions for bookworms looking to make new friends through the enlightened discussions of character analysis.

Nightbird currently o"ers science-$ction, poet-ry, $ction, sta" favorites and book-to-movie book clubs. Book club books are discounted 10 percent for members. Anyone can start a book club at Nightbird, too.

“If you’re staying in town and you have to work over the summer, it would be fun and a good way to be involved in the community and meet people that live here,” Kara Brick, Nightbird book clerk, said.

Brick said that book clubs range from 5-15 peo-ple and members are very welcoming of newcom-ers.

#is month’s selection for the Sci-Fi book club is “Osama” by Lavie Tidhar. Club members will be reading “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley. #e club meets at 7 p.m. on the fourth Monday of each month.

#e poetry book club meets at 6 p.m. on the sec-ond and fourth Wednesdays of each month. Mem-bers read from an assigned anthology.

Fiction book club members are reading “#e Human Stain: A Novel American Trilogy” by Phil-ip Roth this month. May’s selection is “A Tale For the Time Being” by Ruth Ozeki. #ey meet at 5:30 p.m. the fourth Tuesday of each month.

#e sta" favorites book club is currently read-ing “#e Illumination” by Kevin Brockmeier. Store owner Lisa Sharp picked out the sta" favorite for this month. #e group meets the at 6:30 p.m. on third Monday of every month at Nightbird.

#e book-to-movie club is one of the more pop-ular choices at Nightbird. Members pick books that have been adapted to the screen, reading the book and then watching the movie adaption. Members this month will watch the $lm “Adaption,” which stars Nicholas Cage, Chris Cooper, and Meryl Streep and is adapted from “#e Orchard #ief ” by Susan Orlean. In collaboration with #e Big Picture House, Nightbird will show a screening of “Adap-tion” at 7:30 p.m. April 25. Members discuss books at the movie screenings.

#e Big Picture House is an independent movie theater, which shows movies in the Breezeway at Nightbird. Its mission is to bring inviting and in-timate experience to the movies, according to the theater’s website. #ey host independent movie screenings in the Breezeway at Nightbird.

“#e goal is to start an independent movie the-ater here in Fayetteville,” Rachna Muldoon, found-er of the BPH said. Muldoon wants to eventually grow into a full art house featuring local $lms, po-etry nights and storytelling.

Why indie $lms? “Because they’re not here,” Muldoon said. “I like a good underdog story. I like when someone makes something not using much money. Mostly I like movies for the story and I think you can tell a story with very little money. Some of the best movies, like Winter’s Bone were done on nothing. #e challenge of it adds a little more excitement to the movie.”

#e BPH is starting small with monthly screen-ings in the Breezeway at Nightbird. Every month Muldoon and bookstore owner Lisa Sharp pick out books for the Read-It-And-Watch-It club. “She’s read everything and I’ve watched everything so it works out really well,” Muldoon said.

Muldoon announces the book choice at begin-ning of each month and then at end of the month people gather to watch the movie and discuss it.

#e theater began in January. #e $rst book was “Winter’s Bone.” Lauren Sweetser, a Bentonville na-tive and co-star with Jennifer Lawrence, came to the book club discussion and talked about working with the author behind the scenes.

Screenings usually have 15-20 people in atten-dance, Muldoon said. “Some haven’t read the book, some have, and some read it that week or a!er the movie,”

Muldoon said holding the free events at Night-bird has allowed her to do market research, $nd-ing out people’s tastes and what days work best and what they’re willing to pay.

Muldoon is still in the $rst phases of her master plan, looking for places to house the theater perma-nently, but scheduling movies through September in the meantime. Movie times are posted on Night-bird’s event calendar or the BPH Facebook page: facebook.com/bigpicturehouse. #ere are usu-ally two screenings each month, and there will be screenings every #ursday throughout the summer.

Muldoon was sitting in a room in the cancer hospital she used to work at in Houston, telling her co-worker about her dreams for an indie movie theater. “It’s kind of the big picture of your life,” her friend said, and that’s how the theater got its name.

NFL schedules were re-leased last week and because an agreement couldn’t be worked out with the Balti-

more Orioles, the defending Super Bowl Champion Ra-vens will start the season on the road Sept. 5 against the Denver Broncos.

Kick o! for the "ursday night season opener is set for 7:30 p.m. while the Orioles game against the Chicago White Sox will begin at 6:05 p.m.

Since the two teams share a parking lot that cannot ac-commodate the combined crowd the events would draw, that leads to a bit of a prob-lem.

Much of the football world has been in an uproar over this and it seems with

good reason. Major League Baseball teams play 81 home games every season while NFL teams only play eight home games.

"erefore, it seems like the baseball team should have the ability to be more #exible with scheduling.

Plus, think of the Ravens fans that were excited to cel-ebrate their Super Bowl win at the season opener that will now have to wait until the sec-ond week of the season when last year’s success has already been lost in the shu$e of sto-ry lines of the new year.

It also seems that the %rst game of the season is more

important for postseason implications than some fans might think.

In the last 10 years, the team that went on to win the Super Bowl has only lost the season opener three times.

However, it was right of the Orioles and MLB to stand their ground.

When the O’s open the series against the White Sox, they will be in the %nal month of the season when every game seems to matter a little bit more.

Last season, the race for the AL East title came down to the %nal day of the season when the Orioles lost the

game to the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1. "at game was on the road.

Of the last 24 games of the season, the O’s get to play two more at home this season than they did at the end of last season.

For a team that hopes to be in the thick of the postsea-son discussion at the end of the season, those two games could prove to be huge.

Professional baseball teams play almost every day while football teams play once a week. Of course foot-ball is a more grueling sport and it would be dangerous to play more o&en and ridicu-

lous to compare the schedul-ing of the two sports.

However, when it comes to travel, football teams have no room to complain.

Baseball teams are con-stantly on the road and throwing in an extra road game and the travel that goes along with it wouldn’t be fair to a team that could be %ght-ing for a chance to play in Oc-tober.

"e No. 11 Razorback gym-nastics team %nished sixth at the Session II Semi%nal of the NCAA Championships with a score of 196.150 to %nish their season 10th in the nation. "e meet took place Friday in Los Angeles.

“We had a pretty good meet tonight,” co-head coach Mark Cook said. “We started out a little slow on the vault and the bars, but we did not have to count any falls or mistakes. "en to %nish on the #oor as strong as we did is really good for our team.”

Junior Katherine Grable was the star for the Razorbacks. She tied for %rst-place overall on the #oor, a feat that earned her %rst team All-American hon-ors. Grable also received %rst team All-American honors for her overall competition score of 39.475.

“We had a really good meet and I’m really proud of our seniors,” Grable said. “I didn’t start out the meet as well as I would have liked to, but I really settled in and hit my #oor rou-tine to %nish o! the meet.”

Grable stayed in Los Ange-les to participate in the indi-vidual %nals Sunday a&ernoon when she %nished sixth.

Arkansas clinched a piv-otal series by winning the last two games of the three-game series against Texas A&M. "e series win puts the Hogs %rmly in second place in the Southeastern Conference west division with an 11-7 conference record.

"e Hogs got o! to a good start in the series behind Barrett Astin’s 5.1 shutout in-nings that allowed Arkansas to build a 3-0 lead, but the bullpen struggled.

A&er Jalen Beeks loaded the bases in the eighth in-ning, Chris Oliver came on and gave up a pinch-hit grand slam to le& %elder Jon-athan Moroney.

Oliver went on to strike out the next two batters in the inning, but the dam-age was already done. A&M closer Jason Jester retired the last six batters to end game one, 5-3.

“Our bullpen just didn’t get it done,” head coach Dave Van Horn said. “What I saw a&er the home run and be-fore the home run were two di!erent pitchers,” he added of Oliver.

Game two of the series took place in front of a sea-son high crowd of 11,145 at Baum Stadium, and the Diamond Hogs didn’t disap-point.

Arkansas displayed an o!ensive onslaught against A&M’s %rst time starter Matt Kent. Kent surrendered four

earned runs o! six hits in only two innings pitched. Texas A&M’s bullpen didn’t fare any better en route to a 12-2 Arkansas victory.

"e Hogs had 15 hits as a team, their best hitting ef-fort in SEC play this season. Freshman in%elder Jordan Farris was a triple shy of hit-ting for the cycle, with a two run home run and %ve RBIs. Farris has been on %re at the

plate recently, and is tied for the team lead in home runs despite only having 12 starts and 50 plate appearances.

“He brings energy to the team everyday, I like his mentality. He’s tough,” Van Horn said.

Ryne Stanek struck out a season high nine batters in six solid innings of pitch-ing, only giving up one run and %ve hits in the process.

Stanek has continued to grow more comfortably on the mound as the season has progressed, and showed why he is such a highly touted pro prospect.

"e rubber match Sun-day was a closer game than game two, but once again saw dominant starting pitch-ing from the Razorbacks. Senior Randall Fant reached his career high in strikeouts

with eight by only the fourth inning, and only gave up one run o! a Troy Stein home run in six innings pitched.

In%elder Brian Anderson had two RBIs for the Razor-backs, and %nished the series an impressive 5-9 from the plate with four runs scored.

"e Razorback so&ball team (30-17, 8-10 Southeast-ern Conference) hosted the No. 7 Kentucky Wildcats (34-16, 10-8 SEC) this weekend and won the series, including a no-hitter Saturday.

Friday, the Hogs beat the Wildcats 4-1 as pitcher Kim-my Beasley tallied 11 strike-outs and gave up just one run on four hits.

“It all starts in the circle,” head coach Mike Larabee said. “Kimmy was phenomenal again. She had zero walks in the game, to not have any free runners is great.”

On o!ense, Sierra Bronkey went 2-for-3 with a home run and a single. Jennifer Rambo also had a home run in the fourth inning to put the Hogs up 2-1; the Razorbacks never looked back.

“Rambo had a great week swinging the bat in practice,” Larabee said. “She had a really good series against Kentucky

last year and got a bomb today. Bronkey also ripped one out of the park.”

Saturday, Hope McLemore threw 6.1 innings without a hit. Chelsea Cohen took over in the circle and %nished out the no-hitter for the Hogs to get the 4-0 victory. "is was the %rst time Kentucky had been no-hit since a 2009 game against Alabama.

“I am really pleased with Hope McLemore,” Larabee said of the senior captain. “I thought she was in command. She did a great job keeping batters o!-balance. Cohen came in with the bases loaded and she stayed tough and got the job done. McLemore gave a talk to our team last night and today she walked the talk.”

"e Razorbacks hit three home runs Saturday, improv-ing the Arkansas home run total for the weekend to %ve.

FOOTBALL

First-year head coach Bret Bielema hoped for 50,000 fans to be in attendance at the Arkansas Razorback spring football game, and he got his wish. More than 51,000 fans attended the game, breaking the Arkansas spring game record of 45,250 set in 2012.

“It’s a great statement, and it doesn’t surprise me,” Bielema said.

"e %rst play from scrim-mage was a long pass attempt from Brandon Allen that just missed the intended target in Demetrius Wilson. "e snaps at quarterback were distributed equally between Allen and Brandon Mitchell.

Allen played exclusively in the %rst half, and was a steady 11-16 with 158 yards and a touchdown against Arkansas’ %rst team defense. Although the coaching sta! has yet to reveal the full-time starter heading into the 2013 season, all signs point to Al-len as the %rst team signal caller going forward.

“He played very well

with the group around him,” Bielema said regarding Al-len.

Brandon Mitchell %n-ished 12-17 with 138 yards as well as an interception and a touchdown. Junior college transfer AJ Derby also had a

nice 35-yard touchdown pass to D’Arthur Cowan in his %rst action as a Razorback signal-caller.

"e Hogs collectively threw 27-41 for 355 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions on the day.

While the Hogs did take chances down%eld, they also displayed some power run-ning between the tackles as well. Junior fullback Pat-rick Arinze ran for 66 yards

Kelci Lewis and Jordan Salsberg participated in their last meet as Razorbacks Friday in the NCAA Championship, which they have been to every year they’ve been at Arkansas.

Alabama won the Session II Semi%nal with a score of 197.350. Also ahead of Arkan-sas were Oklahoma, UCLA, Michigan and Utah.

Alabama, Oklahoma and UCLA went on to the Super Six to face Florida, LSU and Geor-gia Saturday. Florida became the overall national champion by the end of the day.

"e %rst rotation for Arkan-sas Friday was a rough perfor-mance on the vault. "e Hogs’ team score was a 48.975 with individual scores of 9.85 for Grable and Heather Elswick, 9.80 for Borsellino, 9.775 for Bailee Zumwalde and 9.70 for Kelci Lewis and Erin Freier.

Next up, the Razorbacks competed on the bars, %nish-ing that rotation with a less-

than-perfect 48.900. Individu-ally, Grable led the way with an 9.875.

Arkansas’ next test was on the beam where the team earned a 49.00. Sydnie Dillard led the way with a 9.825. Grable, Keara Glover and Borsellino all scored a 9.80 in this event. Frei-er and Shelby Salmon followed with a 9.775 and a 9.75 respec-tively.

On the #oor, the Razor-backs had their best rotation of the day, but their overall score of 49.275 was still lower than the other %ve teams compet-ing. However, Grable’s 9.95 did tie for %rst place overall on the #oor. Lewis, Borsellino and Zumwalde all posted a 9.825 on the event. Dillard posted a 9.75 and Elswick a 9.625 to round out the meet.

"is ends the 2013 season for Arkansas; this was the sixth season in a row in which the Ra-zorbacks have been a part of the NCAA Championship meets.

51,000 continued from page 7on nine carries, including a tough 21-yard run in the sec-ond quarter.

Bielema hinted that the 5-foot, 10-inch, 254-pound former walk-on Arinze could be paired with 5-foot, 10-inch, 246-pound fullback Kiero Small in the back%eld.

“He’s been a nice surprise. He’s very powerful and pret-ty solid as a blocker as well,” Bielema said about Arinze.

Sophomore Kody Walker, who missed most of 2012 with a leg injury, also dis-played good speed and pow-er en route to 40 yards on seven carries.

First team running back Jonathan Williams also ran hard for 29 yards on nine carries. "e Razorbacks ran for 185 Yards on 56 carries as a team.

Senior Javontee Herndon established himself as one of the Hogs’ top options at re-ceiver, catching six balls for 85 yards, including a 32-yard reception.

Demetrius Wilson, the other starting receiver for the Hogs, also showed some of his strengths by catching four balls for 70 yards and a touchdown.

“He’s had the best spring

overall among the wide re-ceivers,” Bielema said about Wilson.

"e %rst team defense was able to establish a solid pass rush early on, as they were able to get to Allen twice in the %rst half and also forced Mitchell into throwing an in-terception at the goal line late in the second quarter.

Starting defensive end Chris Smith only played one quarter because of sickness, but he and Trey Flowers were able to make an impact by applying pressure to the %rst team o!ense.

“"ey’re NFL-caliber players that are gi&ed athleti-cally but also well-coached,” Bielema said about Flowers and Smith.

"e Razorbacks were able to play mistake-free football for the most part, which is a good indication of discipline in the spring for a team that only allowed two penalties on both sides of the ball.

But according to Bielema and the coaching sta!, there is still much room for im-provement heading for the start of the 2013 season.

“It’s going to be a steady process to get to where we need to be,” Bielema said.

the weekend. Larabee referred to Rambo as “Jennifer Rambo, the wildcat killer.”

"e homer from Navarro put the Hogs up 2-0 in the third. Rambo’s home run in the fourth – her fourth home run in her last four games against Kentucky – put the Hogs up 3-0 and Schroeder’s in the sixth sealed the deal and gave the Hogs their %nal 4-0 advantage.

Sunday, Kentucky started strong o!ensively in an at-tempt to save themselves from being swept. Pitcher Lauren Cumbess hit a home run in the %rst that also scored Gri'n Joiner to make the score 2-0 in favor of the Wildcats.

Kentucky hit their second home run of the day in the fourth inning to improve the Wildcats’ lead to 5-0.

"e Razorbacks answered in the bottom of the fourth. Schroeder walked with the bases loaded to score Chloe Oprzedek, then Jayme Gee hit a #y ball to score Ashley Martindale with the bases still loaded. "e fourth inning ended with the score 5-2 in fa-

vor of Kentucky.Arkansas then loaded the

bases again in the bottom of the %&h with the score still the same. Rambo walked to score Stephanie Can%eld and re-load the bases but the Hogs couldn’t get anything else done

and ended the inning losing 5-3.

Can%eld hit a single to start o! the seventh in the Hogs’ last attempt at the sweep, but the rally fell short and the game ended with a score of 5-3.

Next on the calendar for the

Razorbacks is a trip to Knox-ville, Tenn., to take on the No. 8 Volunteers in a three-game series April 26-28. Only one more regular season series remains a&er the trip to Ten-nessee – a home series against Auburn starting May 3.
