that comes rst impressions and

trust me, they will last. Whenyou meet that cute redhead at the

MUSICIANHOT

In a world where beats aremixed, playlists shake aclub and songs are slammed

through enormous speakers, its

fairly impressive to stand above

the rest. David Manceor standsdistinctly aside from most DJs

due to his deep understanding

of the music and his passion to

display a masterful show. Gettinghis start at teen nightclubs back

in Houston, Texas. David told us

what it was like to start his rst

musical expedition, It was oncea month, $8 cover and we would

come and DJ. It had a non-

alcoholic blacklight bar and it

was at lot of fun at the time, wemade great money. His success

seemed to stem from there.

After that, we started playing

graduation parties and evenbigger events like the Military

Ball for a local high school,which was at the Marriott. Ivebeen spinning for around ve

years now. Now that those

days are stacked beneath him,

DJ Splic3r has claimed theSan Marcos/Austin area as his

new battleground.

A Step Above the Rest

Rolling on the momentum of his

previous successes, DJ Splic3r

was able to tell us what makes

him stand out above the others.My niche at the moment is

dubstep. I try and bring a lot

of energy to help get the crowd

going. You also have to knowhow to treat a crowd at the start

of a show. You dont just throw

a banger out rst song. Youve

got to bring the crowd up fromground zero and build up the

excitement and theenergy. With a deepunderstanding of DJing

logistics, David knew

what he had to do to

impress and glamourhis patrons. As far as

my music goes, I like

to bring up a lot of fun

little samples and noisesfrom things of the past.

ings people instantly

recognize like Mario

sounds or the mainmelody from Fur Elise.

Its great to see

everyones reaction.

Future Endeavors

Now set with a solid sound and

knowledge of how to make the

crowd move, DJ Splic3r is anevent that must be experienced.

David lled us in on his future

goals for this upcoming yearMy friend Paparatti and I just

started a residency on Saturdays

at Firehouse Lounge called $hit

$how. By years end, Ill have analbum and an EP. Ive still got

a lot to work on, but spend the

time and you get better.

words: jasmine vallejo photos: steven granados

IGBOKWE

FORMAYOR



13/36

Charming. Trustworthy.Ripped. All great char-acteristics for the perfectpolitician, right? Well,

those arent the only words to de-scribe William Igbokwe. is twen-ty-two year old senior in college is avery goal-oriented and driven person.With aspirations of becoming Mayorof his hometown and attending lawschool after, William has potentialthat will be executed for the future.And hes starting now.

Why did you make the

decision to run for Mayor?

I think what makes me the best op-tion for Mayor of Jacksonville is mycommitment to honoring the con-cerns of the citizens, my commit-ment to my goals as mayor and theenergy and compassion that I have tofulll all of the aforementioned. AsMayor of Jacksonville, I know I could

really shake things up in a positiveway and cater to the needs of all citi-zens, regardless of however theyvebeen categorized by arbitrary labels.

Have you always known

what you wanted to do

after you finished college?

Not immediately. It wasnt until thissummer that I decided that Id bid forMayor of Jacksonville in 2013. Mylogic is if Im an aspiring politician,why should I wait to start around themedian age of what, fty? e youthshouldnt be disenfranchised from

the political process in any aspect norshould it be an automatic disquali-er for public o ce, especial ly sincewere next in line to inherit whateverthe previous generation left for us. Idlike a say in the aairs of my com-munity as soon as possible.

Do you think post-grad stu-

dents have what it takes to get

their experience in politics?

I mean, of course. In fact, I thinkpeople should be engaging their lo-cal, state and national governmentearlier than that. I think its really

easy for people to become disillu-sioned with their government whenthey havent established any type ofrelationship with government in therst place. at opens the door upto instances where the rst time acitizen and their government have anencounter, its for an unpleasant rea-son. Early involvement and engage-ment of your government can helpassuage disillusionment.

What do you hope to bring

to the table while getting

involved with politics?Id hope to bring the appeal of theyouth participation to politics. A lotof people my age or younger feeldisenfranchised from their own gov-ernments (local, state and national).In a country where the youth have so

much energy and potential to oer,there is no reason that a disconnectshould exist. Id like to bridge thatgap between government and youngpeople because obviously, bothsides have much to gain from astrong relationship.

Why do you think that

gap has been present?

Because our politicians neglect ouryouth and dont take their opinions(and sometimes their concerns seri-ously). So to close this gap, its on theheads of politicians to reach out to

the voiceless and to our youth.

What are your hobbies?

I like reading current events, holdingconversations about current events,debating current events, running,exercising, playing pick up games of whatever, shopping, writing, speak-ing in publicI mentioned I wasboring earlier in this interview, right?

Why are you so boring?

Give me details.

Im boring because I live a very rou-

tine, party free (for the most part)and drama free life. Im just underthe impression that my lifestyle canbe very unappealing to a lot of peoplein my age group. Im an introvert, forthe most part. And I know some-times we get a bad rap for being dull.

Any love interest?Haha, yeah, there is one actuallyand shes great. Youll nd out moreabout her if/when we get married.

In your last year in college,

what would you like to

do involving politics?I would like to volunteer with a cam-paign organization or a nonprotorganization. I really want to getmy hands dirty in the local politicalscene and help out in any way that Ican. Im not looking to make a hugeimpact on anything in part icular. Fornow, I just want to learn.

1. I have the alphabetnumerically memorized.

2. I have a sweet tooth.

3. Im an avid pro-wrestling fan.

4. My favorite color is lavender.

5. Im a recovering metrosexual(but only sort of.)

6. I compete for theUniversity Speech Team.

7. I love Mangos.

8. I have a shoe fetish thats quicklyevolving into a coat fetish.

9. My favorite meat is goat.

10. I am the Peoples Champion.

If your friends would describe

you in 5 words, what would they say?

Determined, Disciplined,

Confident, Hungry, Empathetic

How is your dad doing now?

Hes doing well, thank you. I just sawhim and the rest of my family members recently for my 22nd birthday.

Has your father played a huge

part in your life? Is he a man

you would want to become?

Hes played a huge role but not in thways many would guess. Hes a ver

quiet and thoughtful man. So on thsurface, he and I are very dierentWhere Im very outspoken and loudhes the opposite. Hes also a vershy and patient man. NonethelesIve learned a lot through my fathethrough his actions. I dont know more responsible or standup guy anId be hard pressed to nd one morintelligent. I know his struggles athe rst of ten children growing upin Imo State, Nigeria and the struggles he continued to face when hemigrated to the US to make a bet

ter life for himself and his family. have the utmost respect for him aneverything hes been through. Hetaught me diligence, patience and calculated approach to lifes problemthrough his actions alone. I couldnhave asked for a better father.

What major issues would you

focus on for college students?

Well since healthcare and educationoften disproportionately aect col-lege students/youth, those two issuewould be high priority in my rela-tionship as a politician with college

students. Weve discussed my beefwith healthcare a bit, but I recentlyread an article (I think it was in theWall Street Journal) that proclaimedthat more than at any point in thisnations history college students aredepending on student loans to at-tend school. I think that says a lot osecondary education in this countryand some of the problems its facingI dont think it should cost an armand a leg to further educate the na-tions brightest. Lest we forget, ourcollege graduates will be in charge

of running this country in the nearfuture. Itd be great if they couldcomplete and pay for school.

What is one thing youd

change about America?

e wealth disparity in this countis disgusting and exacerbates a lot oother issues the country is currentlfacing. So, without a doubt, that woulbe the one thing I change about thi

You want to be Americas most

fit congressman out there, so

how would you win those votes?

Well, obviously I would need to stay in

shape. More importantly, Id need to paysome dues. I think soaring rhetoric frompoliticians can be a great thing becausepeople need to feel inspired, especially when youre dealing with somethinglike American politics, which can turnnegative so quickly. But soaring rhetoriccan turn into your worst enemy if youneglect to deliver. To win votes, Id tryto energize and inspire a sizeable votingbase but more importantly, Id followthat up by delivering. And deliveringdoesnt just mean drafting and passinglegislation. I dont think civil servants arelimited to the chambers of congress. Its

okay for elected politicians to get theirhands dirty with community service,town-hall meetings, etc. I dont believein one dimensional political service.

Have you always been

interested in being fit by

running and working out?

Lets put vanity aside. In the spring of2002, my father has a minor stroke. Ithink that was the rst time I became very health conscious. While he re-covered, I started researching ways toget him into healthy physical form. Iintroduced to him some exercises and

dietary choices that I hoped would pre- vent him from succumbing to the ef-fects of hypertension again. In doing so,I adopted the exercise routine to givehim a support system. Later, my mo-tivation developed into keeping myselfhealthy in general. Its stuck ever since.

Ive heard you have some

killer abs. What is your

secret to staying fit?

I work out twice a day for a combinedthree hours. In the morning, I work onmy abdominal muscles and wrap it upwith cardio (1.5 miles and 1000 jump

rope.) In the evening, I work on my up-per body. I make an earnest eort to eatwell but Im in college, I cant cook andI have to desire to learn. So I watch mycaloric intake and make sure it doesntexceed more than half of what I burnedthroughout the day. I guess Id attributeto discipline and consistency to keepingme in shape.

country. In fact, its a wonder that lit-

tle media attention has been given towhat is, quite frankly, a national crisis.An embarrassing one, actually.

Imagine yourself at the age of

50. What are you doing?Ill be serving the United Statesgovernment and my constituentsin some form or fashion. Ill be watching my children grown intoresponsible, caring, young adultsand rejoicing with my wife becausewe have the house to ourselves. Illbe maintaining a close relationshipwith siblings and a few close friends

and Ill be rereading this interviewthinking aloud wow, I was this guythirty years ago?

What do you wish you would

have accomplished by then?

To be a great father, a great politi-cian, a person who put a dent in wealth disparity, who challengedthe status quo on equality and dis-

crimination and a man who is still

relatively t at least in the eyes ofmy wife.

You mention wife and kids

often. Are you a family

oriented type of guy?

Very. My immediate family membersare the most important people in mylife and that will never change. I wantto create the same time of strongbond and connection for my childrenand what will be their family.

What is the best advice your

mom or dad has given you?

If you want it, you can have it. Justwork for it. And pray. -Mom

What are your goals

and aspirations?I have three major goals in life.e rst concerns my family, pres-ent and future. I want my parentsand siblings to be proud of what

I will ultimately become as time

progresses. I also want the abilityto take care of my parents and sib-lings in any way necessary, includ-ing nancially. I want my future wife and children to be proud ofthe man they know, despite my per-sonal aws. Particularly concerningmy children, I want them to knowthat their father loves them uncon-ditionally and that no matter what,they can come to me with what-ever concerns they have. I want mychildren to grow into people farmore progressive, accepting andloving of the world and the people

in it than I could ever be.My sec-ond goal concerns my career. I wantto be an eective and trustworthycivil servant/politician that my con-stituents and country can dependupon. I want whatever group ofpeople Im privileged to representto have the utmost condence andfaith in my commitment, skills andability to execute.

Effective and trustworthy

politician is there evensuch a thing?

eyre out there, for sure. Its justunfortunate that in todays politi-cal climate, youre only getting tohear about the selsh and ineectivepoliticians. Id like for the term poli-tician to connote positivity again, ifit ever did.

And the third goal?

e third goal concerns my own vanity: I want to make the coverof Time, GQ and Esquire. StudyBreaks has been checked o the list.

anks for that.

Why should they choose

you to be on the cover?

Well, they have no reason to select me,as of now. But down the road Id hopethat because Ive impacted a substan-tial amount of people in a positive waytheyd be compelled to tell the worldthat story by placing me on the cover.

Where Do YouSee Yourself

In Five Years?

God willing, Im stillseeing the positive

effects of having served

a term as Mayor of

Jacksonville followed by

having just finished law

school. Ill be calculating

where best to apply the

newly acquired skills Ive

gotten from law school.

Since

healthcare and

education often

disproportionately

affect college students,

those two issues wouldbe high priority as a

politician.

What was your inspiration for

decorating your room?

I am such a girly girl and I love

cheetah print, so I combined thetwo ideas and came up with thecolor scheme. I am obsessed withfashion and anything having todo with makeup or other girlythings so that was part of theinspiration too.

Whats one thing you wouldnt

live without in your apartment?

My huge closet! I love takingpeople upstairs and showcasing my

wardrobe. It is by far my favoritething to show people.

How do you like

living on your own?

I really love it!My roommates areamazing, they are alsomy sorority sisters, so

we are always havingfun at the house and

we love having oursisters over!

What is one item in

your room that best

describes you?

I love my be yourown kind of beautifulpicture frame above mydoor. It just remindsme to embrace theperson that I am.

What do you like best about

living away from your parents?

I dont exactly like living away frommy parents because I am reallyclose to my family but I do love

starting my life on my own. It felike a new chapter in my life so ireally exciting that I get to share

with my friends.

How do you like living

with roommates?

I honestly couldnt have asked fbetter roommates. I am constanlaughing and having a good tim

with them. Its so nice to cohome to a couple of goofballsknow I will always come homsmiling.

How close are you to campus

Do you like that?

I am about 10 minutes away frocampus. I like it because it is cloenough to where it isnt everhassle getting to school on timbut it is far enough away to whe

we have privacy.

What is one thing that you

would change differently

next year when decorating

your room?

I would like to paint my room. I all out on styling so I would like fmy space to be completely nishe

How did you losethe dorm look?

I think anyone can lose the dorlook as long as the put in the eoto decorate and you bring out yoown sense of style.

with the volleyball courts..

theyre so much fun. Its got

a huge community and the

TRENDS on CAMPUS

We know that picking

an outfit in the morn-

ing isnt the first thing

on your mind. How-

ever, these five guys

make campus fashion

a breeze. In fact, you

probably have these es-

sentials in your closetalready, so no need to

break the bank on a new

wardrobe. Pair a fitted

shirt with tailored pants

and comfortable shoes

and you are ready for

class. Use items such as

bandanas and sunglass-

es to add individuality

to your outfit.

No guido look,leave the hair gel

Do not, we repeat, donot wear your school color

with more of your

school color. You canhave school pride

without being tacky.

Unless you are Lil Wayne(and even then it is

questionable) do not wearjeggings and/or girl jeans.

Wake up five minutesearlier and go to class in

clothing items otherthan pajamas.

WHAT NOT TO WEAR

ON CAMPUS

DALON STOKER, 26Major: Biomedical

Engineering

Hometown: Dallas

Its always important todress for the weather.

AUSTEN SPANDAU, 18Major: Aerospace Engineering

Hometown: Palm Springs, CA

I go for casual clothesthat look nice and are

comfortable.

JONATHAN LUNG, 20Major: Computer Science

Hometown: Lubbock

I like comfort andkeeping it simple.

BEARDS

November is made for No Shaves.

But its important to stay on the ruggedly

groomed side of things, as opposed to

shaggy, unkempt, possibly-a-grad-student-or-

homeless-person-or-both. No one wants thatside. No one.

WOODEN ACCESSORIES

We Wood Watch on Kembrel

While youre doing the whole au natural

thing with your face, might as well go whole

hog and get some accessories that evoke the

forests. We Wood watches are designed well,

work perfectly, and, best of all, are endlessly

fun to play with during a boring lecture.

BEER ACCOUTREMENTS

Glass Growler from West Elm

Beer is always awesome. But it seems

to be magically more awesome when its

presented beautifully. Like in a vintage

college beer stein. Or clad in the arms of a

mysterious waitress. Or in artful glassware,like this growler. Something that classes up

Natty Bo? That is a must-have.

BEAUTIFUL BOOKS

Atlas of Remote Islands on Amazon

Before the universe invented Wikipedia,

there were things called encyclopedias.

They were big and had lots of information

in them. And would you believe that they

still make them! And other books, filled with

fascinating facts! That you can read! And

learn things! And impress people with your

quaint studious lifestyle!

SMOKING JACKETS

Not that kind of smoking! Were

talking old school cigar gent here,though tobacco isnt necessary to feel

like a polished Gatsby as you loaf around

your castleer, closet-sized dormroom.

CUFFLINKS

The holidays are filled with annoying

reasons to put on a scratchy and

uncomfortable suit. At least you can

stay connected with these cufflinks.

Every man needs a nice pair they turn

the old penguin suit into something unique.

And just think of the espionage possibilities.

COLOGNE

Mens Tobacco and Whiskey Cologne from

OrvisMen like women to smell lke cupcakes

and icing; women like men to smell like,

well, a man. Save the floral musky scentsfor cloudy mall stores - dab some Whiskey

cologne on and get ready for some serious

swoons in your direction.

UMBRELLA

Merde Il Pleut Umbrella on raindropsto.com

Just because its grey, and raining, and sad, and

dreary, doesnt mean you have to become lost in

a sea of despairing and uncreative cheap black

umbrellas. Pack something with an attitude

and a sense of humor. (If you dont know what it

says, ask a friend majoring in French)

FOOD FOR MEN

Youre a man. A tough guy who scoffs at the idea of cooking because cooking is

for wussies. Or is it? Studies show (and by studies, we mean picking the brains of

the SB staff) that a man who can cook will get you to rst base, but cooking well

gives you a 75 percent higher chance of getting laid. Yup, all the way to third base.Unfortunately, the male gender has a difcult time putting patience and TLC in to a

home cooked meal. If youre in a rut to impress a girl or simply just tired of your daily

Whataburger runs, check out these recipes for a hearty and easy to x meal thats

sure to impress.

GOING FOR

THE GREENSMama Always Told You To Eat Your VegetablesAlthough the most common conception of people who abstain from eating animalflesh or byproducts is that they are card-carrying PETA members, there are manyreasons someone may choose to be a vegetarian or vegan. From religious reasonsto simple healthy solutions, 3.2 percent of U.S. adults follow a vegetarian-based dietand 10 percent follow a vegetarian-inclined diet, according to the Vegetarian Times.

Vegetarian Tofu Chili Recipe

DIRECTIONS:

In a large pot, saut the tofu in the vegetable oil overmedium high heat for about three minutes. Add theonions, green pepper, garlic, mushroms, chili powder,salt and pepper to taste, cayenne and cumin.

Cook until veggies are just barely tender, aboutfive minutes.

VEGETARIAN

When someone says vegetarian, they

most commonly mean a lacto-ovo vege-

tarian, or people who do not eat

animal meat, but still include eggs,

milk, cheese and other animal by

products in their diet. Similarly, lacto-vegetarians describes vegetarians who cuteggs out but still eat dairy products andovo-vegetarians cut out the dairy but canstill enjoy scrambled eggs for breakfast.

Maintaining a lacto-ovo vegetarian life-style is usually the goal of someone whochooses to cut meat out of the diet. Theimitation-meat products lining grocery

store shelves and larger vegetarian-friendly options in restaurants, make thetransition much easier.

PESCATARIAN

A pescatarian abstains from eating

land animals and birds, but still in-

cludes fish and shellfish. They may ormay not eat dairy products. Becominga pescatarian is often used as an in-be-tween to developing a vegetarian or fullvegan lifestyle, but the diet is becomingmore and more frequent as a permanentstage. Pescatarians are given more op-tions for proteins and good fats, andoften better, healthier choices at restau-rants. Fish raised on inhumane farms arealso far less frequent, and fresh fish ismuch more readily available than organ-ic red meat or poultry.

VEGAN

Often, being able to live as a vegan or ravegan is the ultimate goal of vegetaria

or pescatarians. A vegan cuts out an

kind of animal product, includin

all dairy, eggs or anything that i

cludes animal-derived ingredients.raw vegan takes this one step further aonly eats unprocessed vegan foods, anabsolutely no steamed vegetables. Ravegans believe that this saps the food its intended nutritional value. This is easthe hardest lifestyle to maintain, as marestaurants do not take vegan, and espcially raw vegan, options into account.also requires careful scrutiny of ingredielists and a true dedication.

WHEN YOU

QUESTION

HER HISTORYSure, its okay be a bit curi-

ous about whom your girl-

friend has dated, hooked-

up with, and had that one

night stand with what-his-

face, but havent you heard,

curiosity killed the cat?

Youre in the picture now,

so dont worry about what

has happened in the past. It

doesnt matter to her, and it

shouldnt matter to you ei-ther. Who knows, she may

not be happy with her past

and thats not something for

you to remind her of. If youre

that worried about her past,

learn to trust what she tells

you. You shouldnt be in the

relationship if youve lost

sight of that characeristic.

WHEN YOU

LEAVE THE

TOILET SEAT UPYouve heard this one time

after time. Just about every

woman said the toilet-seat-

up-act is by far the most an-

noying. Men, it might be hard

to place the seat back down

the way you found it, but be

a little more considerate, will

ya? Its never pleasant for a

woman to walk into the rest-

room, sit down and drown in

the toilet water. Save wom-en the time and the bitchin

and just place the seat back

down. Dont forget to wash

your hands!

WHEN YOU

DONT INTRO-

DUCE HERWhether it is to your neig

bor, friends, brothers gi

friends sisters roommat

its always a bit awkwar

when your girl is standin

right next to you as yo

start a conversation nev

mentioning her. For starter

its rude; secondly, it leave

her twiddling her thumbs o

awkwardly looking throug

her phone anxiously waiing for the two minutes t

be over. Just a simple, O

this is my girl, _______, w

do so much justice.

VIDEO GAMES

ARE NOT MORE

IMPORTANTStudy Breaks will give you

the benefit of the doubt.

Video games are a little more

appealing than your lady

coming home from class,

sweating bullets because of

the weather. But does this

mean you dont have to talk

to her because of it? Hello-

shes standing right there in

front of you. Hit the pause

button, listen for a few, andyou just might get lucky

that night. No one wants the

girlfriend who gets so up-

set because the only words

youve said to her is uh-huh,

yeah, yes, oh yeah? that she

grabs the Xbox and throws

it on the ground. Women

have strength, and she wont

be afraid to show you.

Its about that time of year. Where couples and flings across

campuses start evaluating the status of their relationship, right

before Christmas rolls around. Men, you may not realize, but

a lot of what you do upsets her. (Why else would we bitch?)

Study Breaks asked women on campus, What habit would

you change about your man? Here are the most complained

about and how you can change them.
