Chewing on limited-use tobacco policyThe Student Government

Association is attempting to give the University of Memphis com-munity its right to chew — tobac-co, that is.

On Nov. 8, the SGA passed a resolution that would change the current on-campus limited-use tobacco policy to an “on-campus smoking ban,” allowing smokeless tobacco to be used on campus.

Addison Piggott, the SGA sena-tor who sponsored the resolution, said students should be able to use smokeless tobacco anywhere out-doors because there are no harm-ful secondhand effects.

“We shouldn’t be taking away their right,” he said. “If they are over 18, they should have the right to use smokeless tobacco if they choose to.”

Piggott defined smokeless tobacco as “dip, snuff [or] any form of chewing tobacco that doesn’t involve fire or smoke.”

Electronic cigarettes are not included in this resolution because they are “technically smok-ing products,” Piggott said, but if he can determine they do not have harmful secondhand effects, he would consider writing a bill allowing them also.

While the SGA voted in favor of approving this resolution for administrative consideration, Maria Alam, assistant vice presi-dent and chief human resources The Student Government Association is in the process of changing the campus tobacco laws.

If they are successful, chewing tobacco — currently prohibited — will be allowed campus-wide. (Criminal justice freshman Joshua Roach is pictured.)

Performance to culturalize campus community

The African Student Association hopes to shock stu-dents with culture Wednesday night.

ASA has hosted “Culture Shock” for years. Jelisa Jefferson, special events coordinator, said typically 300 to 400 students attend the event, but more are expected to come this year. It con-sists of 10 acts, which Jefferson hopes will help students gain cultural experience and become more knowledgeable about differ-ent cultures on campus. Students

should expect “surprises through singing, spoken word and artful poetry from their peers,” she said.

“We as an organization would love to dissolve or do away with common misconceptions of dif-ferent ethnicities and show that people should not be generalized into groups,” Jefferson said. “At our annual event, these mental barriers are broken through per-formances from our very own U of M students.”

The event is Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the University Center Ballroom A and is free and open to University of Memphis stu-dents and the surrounding

Memphis community. “[Culture Shock] will express

other cultures through poetry or people just speaking about their love of poetry and their experi-ences in life through poetry,” ASA President Olawale Salami said.

Senior Heather Maclin said her love of poetry began two years ago, but she has never performed in front of an audience. She said she was persuaded to audition for “Culture Shock” by two ASA members she met at Frosh Camp over the summer.

Maclin, who has attended “Culture Shock” before, said she is excited to have been chosen to

be a performer this year. “I will be expressing myself to

Public Health candidacy accepted

The Council on Education for Public Health quickly accepted the University of Memphis’ School of Public Health as a candidate for accreditation.

“This is a rare event to be chosen for candidacy so early,” Daniel Gentry, associate dean for academic and fac-ulty affairs at the U of M, said in a press release.

The council approved the school’s candidacy in October, and the school has up to two years to achieve full accreditation by submitting a self-study document and hosting an on-site visit by CEPH.

Gentry said it has taken two decades for the number of fully accred-ited schools of public health to grow from 27 to 50 worldwide, but the U of M did it in a startling four years.

Because CEPH accepted the school as a candidate to be accredited, the Association of Schools of Public Health accepted it as an associate member.

Gentry will direct the school’s accreditation efforts.

“The step to candidacy is half the battle toward accreditation,” Gentry said. “The candidacy itself is difficult to achieve.”

While many requirements for full accreditation have already been met, there are still some unfinished.

“We only have a few benchmarks yet to achieve,” said Gentry, who believes the school could be visited by CEPH within 18 months.

U of M DJs compete at SensesLights flashed, the bass dropped

and bodies moved to the vibin’ rhythm of six campus deejays from universities in Memphis, Oxford and Starkville on Thursday at Senses Nightclub.

The Red Bull DJ Master contest ended with University of Memphis student Xavier Jones, known as DJ PHNX, taking the title home.

“It was a great set and the crowd was receptive as well as hyped,” Jones said. “It was pretty cool. The crowd danced and cheered for what they liked and what they liked won.”

Each performer had 15 minutes to perform their set and try to stand out among the rest. The winner was chosen by crowd reaction.

“When DJs get creative and want to put on a show, it’s more of a per-formance,” said Charles Sheppard, known as DJ Crumbz, who hosted the competition. “They’re not just up there pushing buttons and play-ing their favorite songs, they’re tak-ing songs and manipulating them, making them their’s for other people

to enjoy.”Ben Murray, U of M student

and founder of Black & Neon, was selected to start the show, open-ing the competition with a variety of mixes and some of his original content.

“I’m really excited to see Memphis dominate the DJ competi-tion tonight, because that’s how it’s going to be,” Murray said prior to his performance. “Memphis is just so deep rooted in the hip-hop scene. It’s also exciting to see the talent from Oxford and Starkville come up and represent as well. Either way, the energy is going to be great all around and it’ll be a really good show.”

Murray’s 15 minutes slowly ticked away and Ole Miss’ Charles Turner, also known as DJ TUGaWAR, took the stage to perform his set for the growing crowd.

The cheer that followed TUGaWAR’s performance was only getting louder as the introductory music of Jones, or DJ PHNX, blared through the sound system and hun-

dreds of hands went into the air as the bass of his theme rattled tables.

Jones walked onto the stage and was greeted by a relentless howling that only a hometown crowd could bring.

“The crowd wants to feel an emotional connection with your music, and if you’re producing it as a DJ you’ll make that emotional connection,” Jones said earlier that night. “The crowd tonight is going to have a reaction. They will be feeling the music I’m playing.”

The crowd spent the night moving to the music, tracing every beat with their bodies and singing every familiar verse that was mixed into each DJ’s set.

“It’s a huge, fun crowd of people looking to get down and dance, so I’m looking to strut myself, play some tunes for some cool people and have a good time,” said the next competitor, Philip Vanderleest from Mississippi State, who uses the stage name DJ GLOtron. “I’m trying to please all the people I can while pleas-ing myself by playing my favorite stuff.”

Vanderleest has been in the DJ scene in Starkville for over two years.

“What I have learned from my experience of being a DJ is that

the crowd feeds off my energy of having fun playing these songs for them,” he said. “The songs that I am playing have meaning to me. When I’m playing them, I try to exemplify myself perform-ing them.”

The next competitors were the only duo in the competi-tion, known as The Ice Cream Social. The pair, who has worked together for nearly a year, is made up of Ole Miss students Andrew Whitehurst and Connor Tierney.

“The thing I’m most excited about is hanging out with some other DJs because in the enter-tainment industry, networking is a lot bigger than I thought it was,” Tierney said. “Music is coming together and having a good time. Though we’re a group, we both have different styles of being a DJ. However, our common theme is making sure everyone is having a good time.”

DJ T. Marsh, or Tyler Marshall of Rhodes College, was the last to perform.

“I’m trying to expose people to new music,” said Marshall, who is more associated with the electron-ic scene than some of the other DJs competing. “I’m not a Top 40 DJ, but everyone threw down.”

As Marshall’s 15-minute set ended, the crowd’s cheers died down once again. For the next few

uuSensesContinued from page 3Happy women may equal world peace

Women: can’t live with them, can’t run a happy country without them.

Valerie Hudson, an expert on inter-national security and foreign policy analysis and co-author of the book “Sex and World Peace,” connects the success of a country with the happiness of its women.

“This book is about the many ways in which the security of states is predi-cated upon the security of women,” Hudson said.

Hudson is one of four authors involved in the publication of the book and one of 11 board members dedicat-ed to the project of revealing violence against women.

“Sex and World Peace” mentions three important “wounds,” as Hudson put it, that women experience: a lack of physical security and integrity, ineq-uity in family and personal status law favoring men, and a lack of parity in the councils of human decision-mak-ing from the household to the interna-tional level.

“We know that when a state is in

a tumult, such as in the [Democratic Republic of the] Congo, women suffer. But we have not examined as closely the idea that national security is under-mined by women’s insecurity,” Hudson said.

One country that experiences these issues is Iran, rated by the World Health Organization as the third high-est country of death by suicide — 70 percent of whom are women.

According to Article 18 of the passport law in Iran, married women require their husband’s permission to apply for a passport.

The Law of Hodoud states that the penalty of fornication is flogging — 100 strokes with a whip — for unmar-ried or women offenders.

Article 1133 of the Civil Code states that a woman cannot leave her home without her husband’s permission, “even to attend her father’s funeral.”

While Iran is a country that could be considered “in a tumult” by Hudson’s terms, the United States is not.

According to an article from CNN, a record 20 women will hold U.S. Senate seats next year, and 55 per-cent of President Barack Obama’s votes

were from women. “I wrote this book as a follow-up to

the book I co-authored with Andrea den Boer called ‘Bare Branches: The Security Implications of Asia’s Surplus Male Population,’ which examined how the national security of India and China specifically are undermined by the culling of girls from the birth pop-ulations in those countries,” Hudson said.

Hudson, along with her co-authors and seven others, make up the board of a website called the WomanStats Project, which “is the largest compila-tion of information about the situation of women in the world available any-where,” Hudson said.

Hudson will visit the University Center at the University of Memphis on Wednesday at 6 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

“We like to think of women as being half of humankind, but they aren’t anymore. Women are now less than half of humanity, and that is not by natural causes but by man-made causes based on the devaluation of women’s lives,” Hudson said. n

minutes, music played as the hosts and sponsors decided which two DJs had the best crowd reactions.

“Heads bobbing, hands in the air, general feedback, people rocking to what you’re doing and any kind of feedback is good feedback,” Crumbz said prior to the announcement. “If they’re just standing there with their hands in their pockets, you’re not doing a good job.”

The crowd stood silent as DJ Crumbz announced that the two finalists were Ole Miss’ The Ice Cream Social and Jones, or DJ PHNX, from the U of M.

With the Red Bull DJ Master gold record hanging above the final-ists’ heads, the crowd had one last chance to decide which DJ, or DJs, deserved the honor.

The winner was clear to the hosts and sponsors. Jones was the pro-nounced ‘DJ Red Bull Master,’ and received a paid gig this week at Senses opening for DJ Epic. n

officer, said students originally brought banning tobacco to the administration’s attention through the SGA.

“The initiative to elimi-nate tobacco use was originally introduced in 2010 by students through the Student Government Association,” she said. “Based on feedback received from the stu-dents and overall University com-munity, the tobacco-free initiative was changed to a limited tobacco-use initiative.”

Piggott said by establishing des-ignated tobacco-use areas, second-hand smoke is contained, but there is no need to contain smokeless tobacco use because there are no

harmful effects to those around the user.

“Tobacco that produces smoke is harmful, so we are protecting the rights of nonsmokers,” he said. “We decided to have smoking zones so people who want to smoke can still do it and those who don’t can find their way around it, so we aren’t infringing on people’s rights either way.”

But Alam said the purpose of the limited-use tobacco policy is “to promote healthy living through a healthy environment for students, employees and visitors,” not just to eliminate secondhand smoke.

At the SGA senate meeting, a senator spoke up about the uncleanliness of “spitting” smoke-less tobacco. Piggott replied that smokeless tobacco is biodegrad-able and does not stain concrete.

Mason Lin, sophomore finance major and senator of the College of Arts and Sciences, voted in favor of approving the resolution.

“I think that people can do whatever they want to do as long as it doesn’t hurt other people,” he said.

Alam said any resolutions pro-posed will go through the Vice President for Student Affairs Rosie Bingham.

The resolution will not go into effect until the administration approves it. Piggott said he plans to speak with SGA President Russell Born and U of M Police Services about how to get the University to allow students to start using smokeless tobacco throughout campus.

“It is an issue of rights and liber-ties,” he said. n

“Alive at 25,” the defensive driving course offered through the University of Memphis, has been honored with the national Best Performance Award in 2011 for the fifth year.

This course was taught to 3,550 high school students in Shelby County this past year alone. The program is not just used for schools — the traffic division of the Shelby County Juvenile Court also makes good use of the program.

“Alive at 25” covers decisions students and youth make while driving or riding in a motorized vehicle. It mentions the effects of drugs, alcohol, peer pressure, speeding and other unsafe prac-tices, and emphasizes that every decision has a consequence.

Those are not the only situ-ations to cause problem in stu-dents’ driving, however, which is why the program also teaches state and local laws.

The course is offered by the U of M through the National Safety Council and is taught by a licensed certified instructor from the University.

The award was presented at the National Safety Council Congress and Exposition in Orlando, Fla.

The high schools the course is taught at include Bartlett, Bolton, Collierville, Germantown and Houston public high schools, as well as Briarcrest Christian School, Christian Brothers, Fayette Academy, Lausanne Collegiate School, Memphis University School, St. Agnes Academy, St. Benedict at Auburndale, St. Mary’s Episcopal School and Tipton-Rosemark Academy private high schools. n

The march to the NCAA Tournament began Monday night for the University of Memphis men’s basketball team against the North Florida Ospreys. What started as a close game quickly turned around as the Tigers imposed their will inside and out to dominate the Ospreys 81-65 at the FedExForum.

The turning point of the game came with the Tigers trailing North Florida 20-17 with 11:01 remaining in the first half. Following a three-point basket by North Florida’s Parker Smith, Memphis junior guard Antonio Barton hit a jumper to spark a 19-0 run, nine of which came from the hands of Barton, to give Memphis a lead they held for the remainder of the game.

“Overall, I loved our effort today for the first 30 some-odd minutes,” head coach Josh Pastner said. “I mean, even the first half we gave up some threes, but that’s going to hap-pen. But we played well and hard. We had great energy.”

The Ospreys scored the game’s first points with one of their 11 three-point field goals. They fought the Tigers basket-for-basket in the first

10 minutes of the first half until the Tigers awakened to start the 19-0 run. Barton closed out the first half with a free throw to give Memphis a 47-25 advantage heading into the locker room. Memphis outscored the Ospreys 30-5 heading into the break.

Pastner emphasized rebound-ing all offseason and by the end of the half, Memphis owned a 30-14 edge on the boards, including a 14-2 advantage in the offensive rebound-ing category.

“It was a game that showed how we are going to play for the rest of the season,” junior forward Tarik Black said. “I’m proud of us. [Rebounding] is what the media has portrayed as one of our woes since I got here, so it just feels good to just go out there and do what we do and show everybody that we are capable.”

The Tigers started the second half with a 6-0 run to push the lead to 53-25. Freshman guard Damien Wilson entered the game and slammed home his first points as a Tiger to give Memphis its largest lead of the game at 66-34.

The team became complacent while North Florida continued to play hard. Pastner was forced to put the starters back in the game as the Ospreys cut the lead to less than 20

points with just under three minutes left in the game. It ended with an 81-65 win for the Tigers.

“The last seven minutes we didn’t have the same type of energy and I told our guys that we got a little lackadaisical and we didn’t finish the game,” Pastner said. “That’s some-thing we have to get better at.”

The Tigers started five players from Memphis for the first time since 1987. Black finished the game with a team-high 18 points and pulling down seven boards. Junior guard Joe Jackson filled up the stat sheet with 14 points, six assists and six rebounds, while Barton chipped in 11 points. Freshman Shaq Goodwin showed just how valuable his presence can be backing Black, as he played 21 min-utes, scoring eight points and grab-bing seven rebounds. For the game, Memphis outrebounded the Ospreys 47-31 with 20 of those boards on the offensive end.

“We played well,” Jackson said. “We got a lot of games down the road and just have to continue to work. It’s going to be an everyday process of getting better.”

The Tigers return to the court Nov. 17 to take on Samford University at the FedExForum. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. n

A Weekly Devotional For YouMore Evidence

We have seen that Jesus Christ plainly claimed to be God. He is either what He claimed to be or He is a blatant fraud or a lunatic. He cannot be regarded as a good man or as a great teacher if He is either a sadly deluded person or a conscious liar. We have also examined some of the Biblical evidence that substantiates His claim to be God. He received worship, which only belongs to God. God the Father called Him “God.” Jesus called Himself the “I Am.” To look at some further evidence that His claim to be God is true, He had the ability to forgive sin, which only God can do, and proved to the skeptics that He had this ability, by working miracles. (Mark 2: 1-12). This doctrine of the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ is hated by Satan. On one occasion some people sought to kill Him because he “said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.” When He said, “Before Abraham was, I am,” some angry people took up stones to cast at Him. On another occasion some people again took up stones to kill Him because they said, “thou, being a man, makest thyself God.” This was and is an irrational and essentially insane hatred. A visceral hatred of the doctrine of the Deity of Christ is not an intellectual problem; it is a spiritual problem. Next time we will look at the implications of denying or embracing the Godhood of Jesus Christ.

Volleyball team misses conference bidThe University of Memphis

volleyball team’s season came to a close after splitting a pair of matches this weekend.

The Tigers grabbed the win against the University of Southern Mississippi on Friday but fell to the University of Central Florida on Sunday.

“It was frustrating because the girls really fought these last few weeks,” head coach April Jauregui said. “We thought the chips would fall in our favor, and it is hard when you go into a game and you don’t think it is your last.”

After the narrow 3-2 win against Southern Miss (8-20, C-USA 4-12), the Tigers’ hopes of getting a bid to the Conference USA Tournament were still alive. Friday’s win put the Tigers in 6th place in the C-USA standings, tied with the University of Houston, Southern Methodist University and Marshall University, but only the top eight teams could qualify for the tournament.

The five set match against Southern Miss was a back-and-forth battle between the Tigers and Golden Eagles.

With the match tied at two sets each, the U of M came out strong in the fifth to score the opening five points, one of which helped

senior Altrese Hawkins break Monique Swaby’s 17-year-old all-time career kill record. Hawkins led the Tigers with a season-high 25 kills on the night and closed out the match with a pair of kills to give the Tigers the victory.

“The record has been standing for a long time,” Jauregui said. “I am really proud and glad she got the record, and I think it will stand for a long, long time.”

The Tigers went up against the UCF Knights (14-14, C-USA 11-5) Sunday, but were unable to capture the win. The Knights took down the Tigers in straight sets, ending the U of M’s hopes of earning a spot in the C-USA Tournament.

Hawkins, having already cap-tured the new school record, ended her U of M career with 1,806 kills. She’s the first person to ever reach the 1,800 plateau in school history.

The loss placed the Tigers in eighth place in the conference, still tied with Houston and Southern Methodist. The U of M missed the bid on a tiebreaker.

The U of M wrapped up the season 12-19 in regular season play and 7-9 in C-USA.

Jauregui said the team has pro-gressed throughout the season and told the players she was proud of how they continued to fight.

“They left it all out there on the floor,” she said. n

Senior Altrese Hawkins ended her college career with the most career kills in University of Memphis history.

The University of Memphis (1-1) women’s basketball team fell to the Middle Tennessee (2-0) Blue Raiders on Sunday in the semifinal round of the Preseason Women’s National Invitational Tournament.

Redshirt junior Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir led the Tigers with 16 points against MTSU, tying her career record, followed by a career-high of 13 from freshman Ariel Hearn.

“Overall I was pretty pleased with the performance of our team,” head coach Melissa McFerrin said in an interview with gotigersgo.com. “We just got to make sure that when we get fatigued we don’t lose our cour-age a little bit and we don’t lose our determination, but that will come.”

The Tigers ended the first half trailing the Blue Raiders by nine and shaved the lead to five coming out of the half. The U of M was unable to silence the Raiders, who defended their home court with the 82-68 win.

Icelyn Elie of MTSU led her team with 30 points on the night.

MTSU will continue on to the semifinal round of the WNIT. Memphis will face Illinois State in a consolation game at a date, time and place that will be determined Sunday night. n
