On-campus housing pres-ents health hazards as UA students move into their dor-mitories.

Dorms are prone to the spreading of illnesses and bugs and fungi that cause illness due to the close living quarters of students, o!cials said.

Some common problems seen in dormitories are Ath-lete’s Foot, bed bugs and the spreading of the cold and other more serious bacterial illnesses, according to Health Magazine.

Athlete’s Foot is an infec-tion of the skin and feet caused by di"erent types of fungi, ac-cording to the Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention. Athlete’s Foot most o#en af-fects the skin between the toes of the foot with redness and irritation, causing a scale-like texture.

College students are ad-vised to wear $ip-$ops when showering in communal bath-rooms as to prevent coming into contact with fungi lurk-ing in the shower, according to Health Magazine.

“I’ve lived in the dorms here on campus for three years and have never experienced a problem with Athlete’s Foot,” said Jason Forte, junior music major. “I always wear some type of shoes when I shower to prevent coming into contact with any bacteria or fungi.”

“Living in Maple Hill my freshman year, my roommates and I were responsible for keeping our personal bath-room clean,” said Christina Bracke, senior speech therapy major. “We always made sure to keep the shower sanitary and not leave puddles of water sitting in the bathroom.”

Bed bugs are another

Students participating in before-school activities like Lead Hogs and so-rority recruitment were greeted with parching hot weather in the weeks be-fore school.

According to the Na-tional Weather Service, Ar-kansas’ high temperature this August was three de-grees higher than normal. The average temperature in July was nearly eight de-grees higher than normal.

The Razorback March-ing Band-with about 350 members-endured daily five-hour practices as the heat radiated off the con-crete lot 56.

“The heat was bad at some times while practic-ing, but not unbearable,” said Maddie Kerns, a mem-ber of the UA Color Guard. “I just make sure to drink a lot of water during our breaks. Supporters of the band provided Gatorade and popsicles for us, which really helped.”

Sorority recruitment participants walked the campus and did activities on the front lawns of the sorority houses through-out the week.

“The first couple of days were pretty nice, but it got more hot and humid as the week went on,” said Laura Jones, freshman commu-nication disorders major. “It was really hot outside as we waited to enter the sorority houses, but each house had a water station,

so it wasn’t so bad.”Though the dog days of

summer have subsided in recent weeks, Gina Mad-dox, spokesperson for Washington County Re-gional Medical Center said the hospital has seen some cases of heat stroke and ex-haustion this summer.

A construction worker on the UA campus died last June due to a heat stroke.

For a town with such an accomplished music scene, Fayetteville had lacked a big-time music festival. Found-ed in 2009, the Fayetteville Roots Festival celebrates the city’s unique musical posi-tion between the Ozarks and the plains. %e lineup features roots music, a wide-open genre that encompass-es musical styles rooted in Americana. Roots can have a little blues, bluegrass or even jazz – an eclectic mix, like

Fayetteville itself. %is year, two living legends are set to headline: singer-songwriter John Prine and mandolin master David Grisman and his Folk/Jazz Trio.

John Prine has writ-ten classic songs like “An-gel from Montgomery” and has in$uenced artists from Bob Dylan to My Morning Jacket. In his autobiography, Johnny Cash said he put on John Prine records at his farm if he needed songwrit-ing inspiration. When music gods like Cash and Dylan look to him to help with their own work, his in$uence can in no way be denied. An al-

bum of Prine covers, “Broken Hearts and Dirty Windows,” features contributions from %e Avett Brothers, Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, and Old Crow Medicine Show, among others.

David Grisman was a member of Old and in the Way, a Jerry Garcia side proj-ect. Grisman also appeared on the Grateful Dead’s “American Beauty.” %e same man whose mandolin ap-pears on the Dead’s “Ripple” will be &lling Fayetteville’s own Walton Arts Center with his folk melodies.

With such big names, co-producer Brian Hembree

hopes that more people will show up and discover some up-and-coming talent. Hem-bree said it’s all about “get-ting people’s attention” and “matching those big names with newer artists.”

Many acts have toured with some of the notable names in music. Pokey La-Farge, who appeared on Jack White’s “Blunderbuss,” has signed on to White’s %ird Man Records. South Africa’s Gregory Alan Isakov has toured with acts like Ani DiFranco and Fiona Apple. David May&eld recently opened for the Avett Broth-ers on tour.

%e UA police department has made several changes and improvements this school year said Lt. Gary Crain, UAPD spokesperson.

UAPD is beginning to use a program called Smart-911 that allows someone to create a safety pro&le online with any information they choose. If a person makes a call to 911, the pro&le is displayed automati-cally to the emergency respon-dent, Crain said. Pro&les can be made at www.smart911.com.

“A user might also include information about allergies, disabilities, special needs or anything that they feel would be useful to emergency re-sponders if a 911 call is made,” Crain said.

In addition to this pro-gram, UAPD will soon be able to receive text messages on a separate system.

“If a person sees some-thing suspicious, needs an escort from Razorback Patrol or anything that may not rise to the level of a 911 call, they will still be able to send a text message and receive a prompt response.”

Junior Ivie Belle Bartlett said the UA was in need of a program like this.

“%ere have been times that

I have been in an uncomfort-able situation or seen suspi-cious activity around campus, but I was not able to tell if the activity warranted a 911 call,” Bartlett said. “With this new program, I will feel much more comfortable reporting unusual behavior without having to worry if I am overreacting.”

%e UAPD anticipates a smooth year even with in-creased enrollment. UAPD is glad to be of service whenever the opportunity rises, he said.

“Over the next few years it is likely that the number of of-&cers will increase,” Crain said. “Four UAPD o!cers recently completed training for bicycle patrol, so we are excited about their availability to enhance that method of patrolling the campus.”

Bicycle patrol now con-sists of five officer, and the number will continue to in-crease throughout the semes-ter when additional officers are trained, Crain said.

UAPD will also continue to assist the Fayetteville Po-lice Department on football game days.

“We have over 150 police officers assigned to designat-ed areas to control traffic and pedestrian flow,” Crain said. “We want to ensure that ev-eryone who wants to see the kickoff is able to get to the stadium and not be caught in traffic.”

common problem found in on-campus housing at uni-versities, according to Health Magazine.

While bed bugs are not known to carry disease, their bites can irritate the skin and sometimes even cause seri-ous allergic reactions, accord-ing to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“Bed bug bites can look like bites from other insects, rash-es or even hives. Some people do not react to bed bug bites at all,” according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

A bed bug infestation can be prevented by continually inspecting your bed. Bites can be prevented by fully covering your body in clothing when you sleep, according to the Mayo Clinic website.

A more widely known ill-ness that is very easy to catch while living in a student dor-mitory is the common cold.

%e common cold is one of the most frequent causes of absenteeism in work and school, with up to 22 million days of school lost each year in the U.S., according to the Cen-ters for Disease Control and Prevention. Over 200 di"erent viruses can cause various cold symptoms.

Washing your hands fre-quently, keeping the space you live in sanitized and keeping out of close contact with other people who have a cold can help prevent students living on campus from catching a common cold.

Two more serious illnesses besides the common cold are meningitis and mononucleo-sis.

Meningitis is a sometimes fatal illness in which the mem-branes covering the brain and spinal cord become swollen and in$amed, according to the U.S. National Library of Medi-cine.

“Sharing tiny dorm rooms is a sure&re way to spread the germs that cause bacte-rial meningitis, a serious and potentially fatal infection that a"ects the membranes sur-rounding the brain and spi-nal cord,” according to Health Magazine.

Meningitis can be prevent-ed through completing the recommended vaccine sched-ule for the illness.

Another problem in dorms is “the kissing disease” which is also called Mononucleosis.

Mononucleosis usually has an incubation period of four to eight weeks. %e illness is normally not very serious but takes a long time to recover from with strong e"ects such as fatigue and body aches, ac-cording to the Mayo Clinic.

Both illnesses are easily transmitted between people through the sharing of saliva, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-tion. %is exchange of saliva can be found most commonly in kissing and the sharing of drinks.

Unusually high tempera-tures and drought condi-tions this summer have had a negative impact on Arkansas agriculture this year, o!cials said.

%e drought not only low-ered yields, but the quality of the crops harvested.

“Lack of rainfall also af-fects livestock and poultry producers. Likewise, farm ex-penses increase. For example, the cost of pumping irrigation water increases and the cost and the amount of hay pur-chased increases. %ese a"ect farmers’ incomes very nega-tively,” said Bruce Ahrendsen, professor of agricultural eco-nomics and agribusiness.

As of July 31, 81 percent of Arkansas was in extreme drought, and 44.5 percent of the state was under excep-tional drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.

“Considering the period from January through July, this is the warmest year on record for that period,” said Mike Vayda, dean of Dale Bumpers college of Agricul-tural, Food and Life Sciences.

Pasture and range condi-tions were under poor to very

poor conditions throughout the pre-harvest season, ac-cording to Cornell.

“Arkansas farmers were fortunate this year because of the unusually mild winter. Most Arkansas farmers plant-ed their crops two to three weeks earlier than usual,” Vayda said.

Early seeding can lead to many problems: poor growth, increased damage from birds and increased damage from seedling diseases. %e opti-mum planting date for the Arkansas region is mid-March to late-May, according to pestdata.ncsu.edu.

“Planting this early was risky because many years there are frosts into April,” Vayda said. “However, this year there were no damaging frosts and the crops matured early and beat the heat for the most part. Some Arkansas farmers have already started harvesting rice and corn.”

Arkansas is the leading producer of rice in the Unit-ed States, providing about 46 percent of the country’s sup-ply, according to netstate.com.

“Rice had the greatest cash recipients at $1.231 billion in 2010, the most recent year available, and broilers had $2.862 billion,” Ahrendsen said.

Broilers, a type of chicken

raised speci&cally for meat production, account for about 41 percent of Arkansas’ live-stock production, according to netstate.com.

“Many livestock producers have already done so or may decide to sell breeding live-stock, which will negatively impact future production,” Ahrendsen said.

Sixty-six percent of the na-tion’s hay acreage is in an area experiencing drought, while approximately 73 percent of the nation’s cattle acreage is in an area experiencing drought, according to U.S. Drought Monitor.

“Arkansas is fortunate that approximately 85 percent of Arkansas soybean and corn acreage are irrigated,” Vayda said. “%e acreage which is not irrigated will likely expe-rience crop loss. %e drought is a major problem for corn production in the Midwest areas which are not irrigated.”

Farmers can reduce the burden of crop loss during this years drought by irriga-tion systems and also crop in-surance, Ahrendsen said.

%e insurance claims aris-ing from this years drought have begun to receive nation-al attention. Reuters reports that covered losses may ex-ceed the 2011 record of $10.7 billion, according to bank-slaw&rm.us.

Crops Wither in Drought and High Temperatures

temperature of 109 degrees, according to the ABC 40/29 News website. He showed signs of disorientation and headache before being taken to the hospi-tal, both common symptoms of heat stroke.

Long amounts of time in the heat can have side e"ects, in-cluding dehydration, sunburn and in extreme conditions, heat stroke and heat exhaustion.

Maddox said simple steps like drinking water before

physical activity can prevent illness.

“Drink plenty of $uids and pre-hydrate,” she said. “Drink-ing throughout and a#er activi-ty is important, but pre-hydrat-ing is the best advice.”

%e UA Bookstore provides students with the option to purchase their textbooks in digital form, a trend that has been slow to catch on, both at the UA and nationally, an of-&cial said.

While e-book sales have overtaken the sales of hard-cover books for the &rst time ever, according to a report done by the Association of American Publishers in June, the growing trend of digitaliz-ing texts does not yet extend to textbooks.

%is is the fourth year the UA Bookstore has o"ered digi-tal textbooks, said Ali Sadeghi, director of operations at the UA Bookstore.

Books that have digital copies available have red tags, students can then ask the ca-shier for the passcode to pur-chase the book digitally, Sade-

ghi said.“We have not seen high de-

mand yet here,” Sadeghi said.About 74 percent of stu-

dents surveyed by the National Association of College Stores said they would prefer the

printed textbook to the elec-tronic version.

“I would consider buy-ing the e-textbook if the class didn’t use the book very of-ten,” said sophomore German major, Emerson Taylor. “I like having the physical book in

front of me when I’m studying instead of a screen.”

“Around 14 percent said their primary reason for not preferring digital is that you lose access to content a#er the end of the semester. Some other reasons include: no buy-back option (7 percent), no digital or electronic textbooks available for the classes they are taking (5 percent) and the pro-fessor uses the print copy (5 percent),” according to the NACS survey.

As of last week, some schools are even requir-ing students to buy digi-tal copies of textbooks for certain courses, arguing that e-textbooks are more e!cient and more con-venient for students and trying to get the digital textbooks to catch on, ac-cording to a recent USA Today article.

Former civil engineering assistant professor Dr. Brady Cox was awarded a Presiden-tial Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.

Cox accepted a position as an assistant professor at the University of Texas this fall, a move he said was tough but necessary for his career.

The National Science Foundation awards PECAS-Es to members of the Faculty Early Career Development Program who show excep-tional potential early in their careers. The Presidential Award is the highest honor bestowed by the United States Government on sci-entists and engineers begin-ning their independent ca-reers According to the NSF.

Cox received the award as a result of his work with non-intrusive subsurface imaging using seismic sur-face wave methods, which are used to determine the layering and dynamic prop-erties of foundation soils under a building site. Cox hopes that his research will contribute to the prevention of earthquake damage and the building structures that are able to withstand earth-quakes.

Because earthquakes can not be simulated in a lab, re-searchers must travel to the tragic scenes that are the af-termath of natural disasters, Cox said. He has traveled to several earthquake-stricken places for research purposes, including Haiti, New Zea-land, Peru, Japan, Turkey

and Hawaii. Cox has collaborated with

people from France, Italy and New Zealand in order to try to develop testing meth-ods and create standards for them, which is expected to result in more accurate data.

He is a member of Geo-technical Extreme Events Reconnaissance, an inter-national organization that partners with the National Science Foundation to con-duct reconnaissance e"orts of extreme events such as earthquakes, tsunamis and landslides.

%is year’s 96 recipients of the PECASE were honored on July 31 at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C. A#erward, they met Presi-

dent Barack Obama at the White House. %e president gave a speech, a#er which he talked with and shook each recipient’s hand, Cox said.

“It was a great experi-ence,” he said.

It is clear to almost every student on campus this week that construction is going to pose a problem for students try-ing to get to and from classes this fall.

Every corner you turn, it seems there is a new construc-tion project underway. Enter-ing my senior year, I am still struggling to navigate my way around what should be a famil-iar campus.

Last year there were 23,199 students enrolled at UA. !ere are approximately 4,600 new freshmen and an estimated 24,700 students total enrolled for this semester, Vice Provost Suzanne McCray said in an interview with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

In order to support such a high in"ux of new students, the UA has to invest in infrastruc-ture. And in case you lost count, there are currently 14 sites un-der construction or renovation on campus.

We all have complaints about construction, but ulti-mately any inconveniences will lead to nicer facilities, support for a higher capacity and a bet-ter overall experience for uni-versity students.

Under the circumstances, the university has done an ex-cellent job dealing with the con-struction. !e UA has fostered a litany of programs to assist students in navigating through “construction cluster.”

For instance, Help-a-Hog is designed to help students #nd buildings and classrooms dur-ing the #rst few days of class. !is year, there are 10 Help-a-Hog stations set up around campus run by student, faculty and sta$ volunteers.

I stopped by a Help-a-Hog station between Mullins and the Union to get a better idea of what the program does. !e volunteers were friendly and seemed more than happy to help out.

Volunteers explained that they serve as guides around campus and also provide maps of campus construction areas so students can #nd their own al-ternate paths around construc-tion zones. Campus construc-tion area maps were also made available to students through UA email accounts.

Moreover, students also have access to past, current and

future construction plans at planning.uark.edu.

!e website lists all of the construction projects that are currently underway.

Many projects such as Vol Walker Hall and Hillside Audi-torium have webcams that al-low students to see the progress on each of these projects.

!e webcams capture an image of the construction every 15 minutes. Students can mark progress by looking at old pho-tographs, too. We have come a long way this construction sea-son.

!e UA has done an excel-lent job informing students not only of the construction but also of speci#cs on project sta-tus. For instance, the Pi Kappa Alpha renovation even includes a project animation, a feature the You of A should consider including for all construction projects. !e animation, similar to something out of “!e Sims,” gives a virtual tour of both the exterior and interior of the fu-ture house.

Providing similar anima-tions for on-campus renova-tions would allow students to get a better idea of the ben-e#ts of the campus projects, soothing concerns and mak-ing inconveniences seem more worthwhile.

Overall, the improvements are a good thing for both stu-dents and the entire state.

A better campus that sup-ports more students means a better education for more Arkansans, of which, only 19 percent have a college degree, according to the 2011 Arkansas Poll conducted by the UA po-litical science department.

If in the next few days you #nd yourself, like me, lost and frustrated on campus, disori-ented by the numerous con-struction sites, grab a Help-a-Hog volunteer and keep in mind that the improvements are for us and that they will surely be worth it in the long run.

!ere is no hiding that this transition is a little uncomfort-able, but that is the beauty of campus constuction (if there is one): we are in this mess to-gether.

!ere is a light at the end of this tunnel, as Razorbacks stu-dents and sta$, we will make it through.

“With this new program, I feel much more comfortable reporting unusual behavior without having to worry if I’m overreacting.”

Ivie Belle Bartlett, junior “UAPD Makes Changes,” page 1

Ruth Bradley Contributing Columnist

It is an exciting time to be a Razorback! For those who are new to campus, we have so many new aspects of cam-pus that I cannot wait for you to discover. For those who are returning, there are a few changes you will notice as you settle back in.

First, UA made the switch from Coke to Pepsi as of July 1. You will still see Dr. Pepper around, and Coke products will be sold in Club Red loca-tions, but look for Mountain Dew, Aqua#na and Gatorade in your vending machines now.

Humphreys Hall may shed its old “Hump Dump” nickname now that Hous-ing has installed air-condi-tioning units throughout the building.

In education, ASG is proud to bring you Scant-rons throughout the year. Do not worry about picking up packages at the bookstore,

because when you are hand-ed a test on exam days, you will be handed a Scantron or blue book with it. No more last-minute dashes to Club Red to grab a form #ve min-utes before your tests!

UA has a great new mo-bile website: m.uark.edu. Functioning like an app, you will #nd the university di-rectory, maps, athletic news, an events calendar, courses, news and a link to the Uni-versity Libraries mobile web-site.

If you drive down Gar-land Avenue, you will notice the new Lewis and Clark on campus in the Garland Cen-ter. First Security Bank has also moved out of the Union and onto Garland Avenue.

While you are driving, make sure you come to a complete stop at the new four-way stop at Maple Street and Razorback Road. !ose traveling westbound (toward the Alumni house) will no longer have the right-of-way. Also, please pay close attention to tra%c cones.

We are still under con-struction all across campus, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. !e Pi Beta Phi Centennial Gate is near-ing completion, and Hillside Auditorium is scheduled to be #nished in September.

It will be a year or so be-fore the Class of 2016 learns just what Brough Corner

is. Due to groundwork that needs to be laid, this campus favorite is a temporary casu-alty to necessary construc-tion. But we look forward to Founders Hall and all the great additions it will bring to campus.

!e O%ce of Greek Life has a state-of-the-art new facility just o$ of Stadium Drive. Walton Hall has been converted from just an-other dorm to o%ce space for Greek Life sta$, meeting rooms for fraternities and sororities, and spaces for the latest houses on campus to nurture their brand-new chapters.

!e new facility will also o$er housing for smaller chapters on campus and the four new Panhellenic and IFC chapters. It is sure to un-fold into a "ourishing, bus-tling epicenter for Greeks.

We have a big football season fast approaching. Two of the biggest games of the SEC season will be Alabama and LSU. For the #rst time in 20 years, they will both be in Fayetteville. !ere is a new, HD jumbotron installed in the Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium for your viewing pleasure.

Because camping got so crazy last year, though, we will only have camping avail-able for the Alabama game. We have special plans for the LSU game, so be on the

lookout for that information later on.

If you have not gotten your Razorback Student Ac-cess Pass yet, log in to your ISIS account and be sure to get one before they are gone! You will notice they are a lit-tle more expensive this year, but with the extra money, you will get more special goodies when you walk in the stadium, and we will have an additional Rollin’ with the Razorbacks trip this year. So join us next semester as we “roll” to the 2013 SEC Bas-ketball Tournament.

One last word about foot-ball: !is year we will have friend passes available for $10 when you walk up to the student gate (Gate 17). !ere are limited quantities, and you will want to come early to make sure you get them. !ey may not be available for every game, but watch your inboxes for updates from athletics.

I am excited for the year to come and for the oppor-tunity to serve each and ev-ery one of you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with questions, comments and concerns throughout the year! Email me anytime at as-gpres@uark.edu. Good luck with classes, and I will talk to you all soon!

His eyes were wide open as he stopped in front of the newly resurrected construc-tion fence blocking o$ the main entrance to the #rst "oor of Kimpel Hall.

He looked around, unsure of what to do, but a&er a mo-ments of hesitation he decided to squeeze through the one-foot-space between the fence and a wall.

Once he made it through the fence he tried to open one of the two main doors, but the door was locked.

He then tried the other door which was also locked.

A&er he realized both doors would not open he quickly looked at his schedule wondering if he had enough time to make his class.

See, an entrance to the #rst "oor of Kimpel is already dif-#cult to #gure out for a fresh-man considering there are only two main entrances to the #rst "oor and they are only on one side of the building.

!is means that a student must walk around the build-

ing in its entirety to enter the #rst "oor. Of course, that is unless the student enters the second "oor and then takes the elevator down to the #rst "oor.

Usually it is merely di%cult for a freshmen to #gure this out within a week, but consid-ering our school is undergoing a massive phase of reconstruc-tion this task has now become nearly impossible.

Yes, UA o%cials have at-tempted to alleviate some of this confusion with Help-a-Hog stations that are intended to help students travel from class to class avoiding the con-struction.

Considering that we do have such as large number of students on campus now, however, freshmen and up-perclassmen will become con-fused as a result of the large number of construction proj-ects.

Help-a-Hog is a good start, but with 10 volunteer tables pitted against 14 construction projects ... the construction is winning.

So, a&er I saw this student look at his schedule I felt com-pelled to give him a hand.

“Hey,” I said.He looked up.“Hey,” he said.“You trying to get into the

#rst "oor of Kimpel?” I asked.“Yeah,” he said. “I have

class in just a few minutes.”I smiled.“Follow me,” I said. I proceeded to take him to

the main entrance of Kimpel and down a nearby staircase.

I continued to lead him to the lecture hall where his #rst class would take place.

I probably did not make it into his “#rst day of school” story, but the construction sure did.

We have devoted a lot of coverage to construction in our #rst two issues of the Traveler and we will continue to do so.

Construction is the news of our campus.

It is the way we live now. Construction dominates

our transit and even our dis-course on the Hill.

Bus stops and crosswalks seem to #nd new homes daily. Even our parking lots have been subject to change.

For what? A brighter future for stu-

dents.Not far from the construc-

tion conversation lays the promise made to us by our ad-minstrators.

A more beautiful campus.We have a strong belief that

our administrators will follow through with that promise.

We have well-marked progress on the Hill, right now.

When most students "ocked home for the summer, those of us who stayed behind were able to see the campus change at rates that we have not seen in the recent past.

Yes, those who took sum-mer classes deserve a pat on the back, but our construction and design team deserves a badge of honor.

We look forward to the in-convenient pedestrian detours and closed entrances because we look forward to a better campus.

We hope every student will keep chins up throughout this long process, because there are brighter days on the hori-zon for students and our "ag-ship university.

Plus, parking was not re-ally much to miss anyway.

“Making Your Journey Worthwhile”

!ink back to your 15th birthday. How did it begin? Was your favorite breakfast on the table? Were presents waiting for you when you woke up?

Jeanne Vockroth remem-bers her 15th birthday quite di"erently. !ere was no breakfast on the table and no presents when she woke up, but it was a birthday that she would never forget.

On that day, August 29, 2005, Vockroth’s world was shattered as Hurricane Ka-trina hit her hometown of New Orleans and destroyed the world she grew up in.

“I had lived in the same house and the same neighbor-hood since I was two,” Vock-roth said. “I went to an arts magnet high school.”

Four days a#er Katrina, Vockroth and her family re-located to Fayetteville to stay with one of her mother’s childhood friends. !e Vock-roth family ended up staying in Fayetteville and having to adjust to an environment far from New Orleans.

“I felt that I had lost all of my opportunities from New Orleans,” Vockroth said. “When I $rst moved, I felt very lost. I had an identity crisis. I just was not sure how to continue my work as an artist.”

Although Fayetteville High School was very dif-ferent from the arts magnet school Vockroth transferred from, she found solace in the school’s art program. John Rimmers, one of the art teachers, served as a mentor for Vockroth as she struggled to continue her work as an artist.

“(John Rimmers) encour-aged me to pursue storytelling in my work,” Vockroth said.

Vockroth continues her art education at the university studying studio art with an emphasis in sculpture.

She considers herself a multimedia artist. She creates sculpture using $bers and ce-ramics, two-dimensional art and narratives.

!e majority of the art that Vockroth creates is in%uenced by her 15th birthday when her world was changed by Hurri-cane Katrina.

“A lot of my work is in-spired by New Orleans,” Vockroth said. “!e feeling of displacement, leaving your home and what it means to search for home.”

A collection of Vockroth’s artwork hangs in the Arsaga’s on Dickson Street. She named this collection “Nostalgia” be-cause it represents her yearn for home a#er her displace-ment due to Katrina.

Her works are two-dimen-sional artworks, combina-tions of collages and draw-ings. Vockroth uses images from her childhood and from domestic life to preserve the past.

“I hope that people gain a sense of longing and sense of belonging and place,” Vock-roth said. “I want them to feel a sense of mystery from the landscapes I created.”

Vockroth’s artwork has also been displayed in Flor-ence during her year-long study abroad program and in several student shows, such as the Sugar Gallery in Benton-ville and the Fine Arts Center Gallery on campus.

Although Vockroth’s ca-reer as an artist is taking o" in northwest Arkansas, the senior still longs to go back to her home in New Orleans.

“I feel like I need to live in New Orleans as an adult,” Vockroth said. “I need to kind of resolve the feeling that I have that it is my home and I was taken from it.”

PROFILE

Music therapy is a grow-ing profession that uses mu-sic to help treat people who are su"ering from an illness, handicap or disability. Music therapists work alongside oth-er healthcare professionals to improve the physical and emo-tional health of their clients.

!is type of therapy is gen-erally used with people who have mental health needs, de-velopmental and learning dis-abilities, Alzheimer’s disease, brain injuries, physical disabil-ities or chronic pain, accord-ing to the American Music !erapy Association.

!e therapist will use their musical responses to test how the client functions and com-municates, when a client comes to a music therapist. A#er that, the therapist will be

able to set up a treatment plan that they feel will help improve the emotional or physical health of the client.

“Music can be used to stimulate the mind and give motivation to people, or be a distraction from pain. It’s reha-bilitative for people. It moves them toward something,” said Dale Misenhelter, music pro-fessor at the University of Ar-kansas.

Carrie Jenkins is a mu-sic therapist who opened a therapy center in Northwest Arkansas this month called Cardinal Care Center. She has worked with numerous people su"ering from educational and social needs, di"erent kinds of disabilities and mental retar-dation.

During the past couple of years, Jenkins had been work-ing with a young boy with au-tism. When Jenkins $rst met him, he refused to talk to her

or anyone else in the clinic. “A#er a few sessions, he

began singing a simple ‘Hello Song’ with me at the beginning of the session. As time pro-gressed, he began to answer questions I would ask during a conversation song and eventu-ally asked me questions him-self,” Jenkins said.

She also shared a story of a young woman who had multi-ple developmental disabilities.

“Over the past couple of years, I worked with a young adult with multiple disabilities due to hydrocephaly as an in-fant and other developmental delays. When I $rst started working with her, she would barely use her right hand to do anything, did not have a very long attention span and was very nonverbal,” she said.

For this patient, Jenkins underwent multiple treat-ments. For instance, she had the young woman play vari-

ous hand-held rhythm instru-ments using both hands to in-crease the use of her right one. !ey also sang songs together, which encouraged the young woman to begin making vo-calizations and learn new syl-lable sounds. Lastly, Jenkins taught her to use a four-button switch to communicate di"er-ent music choices.

In both of these cases, Jenkins was able to use mu-sic to improve the social and physical health of her clients. Several di"erent types of hos-pitals, rehabilitative facilities, nursing homes and schools employ music therapists to try and help improve the health of their patients as well.

One problem for many hospitals and patients is that insurance companies will rare-ly help cover the costs of music therapy. Only about 20 percent of music therapists receive third-party reimbursement for

their services, according to the AMTA.

“(Music therapy) is very real, but insurance companies o#en say it isn’t credible, which makes it hard for hospitals to be able to have it for their pa-tients,” Misenhelter said.

!e process of becoming a music therapist is di&cult as well. Anyone who wants to be a music therapist has to earn a bachelor’s degree or higher in music therapy from an AMTA-approved program. Students must learn counsel-ing, therapy and musical tech-niques, and they must com-plete a six-month internship. Pro$ciency in piano, guitar and voice is necessary as well. In order to become a quali$ed practitioner, the completion of the board certi$cate exam is also required.

As trying as it is, Jenkins believes it is worth it.

“Seeing your clients grow

and enjoy being a part of mu-sic therapy sessions, as well as parents telling you how pleased they are with the ser-vices and amazed that their child opens up so much during sessions, will melt your heart and give you the drive to push through all the rough patches,” Jenkins said.

!e kind of student that should consider music therapy “would have to be very other-person-centered, care deeply about people and be very strong,” Misenhelter said.

“What they’re going to have to work with on a daily basis can be very trying, and there’s not much positive reinforce-ment. You have to really invest yourself. !ere may be grati-tude, but you will not very of-ten be applauded the way you would be for performing. !e student who wants to do this is a soulful, wonderful human being,” Misenhelter said.

Patients Find Harmony in Musical TherapyCasey FreemanSta! Writer

August brings a lot of new things to Fayetteville. A new semester, new classes, new friends and a new wardrobe that looks exactly like every-one else’s. With thousands of students walking around campus each day it’s hard to stand out, and wearing the “typical” style doesn’t help. Although learning is the main purpose of col-lege, it is also for making lifelong friends and even relationships. First im-pressions can make or break them, so making minor changes to your look can turn heads — even in a sea of people.

Girls, we all know that comfort is important when go-ing to a school with hills up every corner (my $rst day started with me looking $erce in wedges and ended with a blister party on my feet), but there are de$nitely more ways to do this than oversized T-shirts and Nike shorts.

Forever 21, Francesca’s and Dillard’s have recently picked up new styles that pair cute with comfort. Loosely shaped dresses and rompers are in when it comes to dress-ing up for school. Not only are they cute and colorful, but they also have a looser $t so they won’t be hugging every

inch of your body as you strut your stu" up those hills. Wide legged shorts are a good way to get the $t of athletic shorts but look like you put more

e"ort into your out$t. Sheer tops are here to

stay in fall 2012, accord-ing to fashionsnoops.

com. !ese thin colorful threads

come in crop tops, tanks and

butter%y sleeves and $t so loosely you hardly even know they’re on.

Realistically, I know that every girl has those days where only an oversized T-shirt will do, but I have one word for girls like this: accessories. Accessories will trans-form your out$t and make you look unique without breaking your comfort zone or your bank account.

Head wraps, bracelets, rings and watches can add color, style and a tone to your out$t. Dress up your Nike shorts and sweatshirt by adding sandals instead of chacos and throwing on an arm full of bracelets or go for a polished look by adding pearls on your ears, neck and wrist. Bows, %owers and wraps can make your simple ponytail go from “I just woke up” to, “Yeah I’m cute, I know.”

Guys, girls love when you dress up. We can’t get enough of your bowties, colorful pants and henleys. So why wouldn’t you want to make us want you on a daily basis? !e average Nike shorts and spirit T-shirts just don’t cut it anymore.

Now I know that men’s fashion has always been limited and that’s where color and patterns come in. Button-downs paired with a funky bow tie can add style and uniqueness to a classic out$t. Patterns such as hogs, American %ags and “Southern” icons are seen all over the Vineyard Vines catalog and can be found at just about any department store.

Burnouts and baseball style T-shirts should replace plain shirts and color should be added to everything in-cluding hoodies, sweaters and pants.

Even your backpack can be trendy with color splashes or chevron prints. You don’t need a reason to

dress up anymore so take advantage of being a risky guy and pull o" all kinds of crazy looks.

I can’t expect to tell you to dress up and look trendy for class without hinting on places to

get these hot pieces. Girls, head to Dickson Street and downtown. Stores such as Mon-roe, Maude and Ri"ra" o"er up unique yet trendy clothes and accessories for the

girly girls in Fayetteville. !e Mustache and Something Urban are good for the vintage-retro look as well as game day garb. Boys will want to head down to

Walker Brothers. !is store is packed with dif-ferent styles, patterns and colors and carries brands

like Brooks Brothers, Vineyard Vines and Southern Tide. Everything from hog print pants to pastel bowties will have you looking in style, but di"erent than the rest. For a classic style, guys can visit Gap in the mall, for essential pieces at a friendly price (and the sales are great). Edgier looks can also be easily found at the Mustache store, or Brit & Turks.

So remember girls, looser $tting styles like rompers and dresses can keep you comfy and cute, while your ac-cessories can add your unique style to a “typical” look.

For guys, standing out is all about add-ing color, prints and patterns to classics like slacks, T-shirts and polo’s. Fash-

ion is supposed to be about having fun and being you. Be inspired by your fellow students instead of just copying their look. Imitation might be the sincerest form of %at-

tery, but adapting and honing in on your own style

can be an invigo-rating start to a

new year.

Logan Webster Sta" PhotographerRoslandy Acosta gets a dig during the Red-White game. !e volleyball team is gearing up for the Arkansas Invitational starting Aug. 24.

For the tenure under former head coach Bobby Petrino, it seemed the Hogs philosophy was to air it out and score more points than the other team to win. I get the sense with new interim head coach John L. Smith that the Hogs are a little more concerned with a strong defensive presence. !is is en-couraging news that follows the trend that defense wins cham-pionships, not just a potent of-fense.

Don’t get me wrong though, I know it still will take every bit of our potent o"ense to reach the ultimate goal the players have continually expressed — National Championship. !e o"ense will be led by senior quarterback Tyler Wilson, se-nior running back Knile Davis, senior tight end Chris Gragg and explosive wide receiver Cobi Hamilton. Wilson and Davis are among the group of Heisman hopefuls this year. With a more experienced of-fensive line, they should also be more consistent in giving Wil-son time to orchestrate a potent o"ense.

!e defense will be the key for the Razorbacks this year. !e “defense isn’t really afraid to hit the o"ense anymore, un-like in the past,” said corner-back Ross Rasner. !is could be attributed to the hiring of new Defensive Coordinator Paul Haynes. He brings a mindset of catering to what his players do best, not overloading them with crazy schemes and trying to do too much. Sounds like a good philosophy, right? Only time can tell if the defense will hold their own this year.

I personally think the Hogs have a special year ahead of them. Get Alabama and LSU at home, check. Have good se-nior leadership, check. Get the whole team on board with a

purpose and a common goal, check. I think all these factors will lead to a very dangerous football team that nobody will enjoy playing against.

Razorback nation is also very excited and has the team’s back, shown by the estimated 15,000 fans who showed up to the Fan Day scrimmage. Re-ally, a scrimmage? It just goes to show that Hog fans truly are excited, and they have gone all in for this year’s campaign. It is very encouraging to know the fans have stuck with the pro-gram, despite the fallout earlier this spring.

But what will be considered truly a good season for this team? Will it be championship or bust? Will fans be disap-pointed if we have another 10-win season, which, by the way, would be a greater three year run for wins than both LSU and Alabama. Sure, the Hogs may not have a Southeastern Conference championship title, SEC Western Division title or even a National Title, but three ten-plus win seasons in a row is nothing to take lightly. !e cul-ture around Razorback football is changing and will only con-tinue to grow even beyond this year.

Fans also should be encour-aged with our Athletic Director, Je" Long. He is the head man who is guiding the whole Ath-letic Department in the right direction. He has pushed for new and improved facilities all over campus, which only helps grow the athletic department and the future athletes who will use them. I trust he will also make the right decision with the next head coach of the foot-ball team. Whether he decides to stick with the current interim coach or bring a whole new sta", it will be a well-thought-out and educated decision.

Excitement is building around campus and through-out the state, and everyone is anticipating a successful year on the Hill. !e program has taken major strides over the past few years, and now this team is poised to step into the national spotlight and make a name for themselves.

ARKANSAS COMES INTO THIS SEASON WITH HIGH HOPES

!e Razorback volleyball team’s #rst competitors of the 2012 season will be the three teams they have invited to the Arkansas Invitational Tourna-ment. Kansas, Northwestern State, and Tennessee-Martin will compete with the Razor-backs in Barnhill Arena this Friday and Saturday.

!e team has been practic-ing since training camp started on Aug. 8, and they are pre-pared to have a very successful season.

“!is is time where you show up with great energy, you start getting organized and you #gure out where all the pieces are going to #t,” Robert Pulliza, head coach of the Razorbacks, said of the #rst few weeks of practice.

!e Razorbacks ended their last season without an in-vitation to the NCAA tourna-ment and will face tough com-petition this year as well.

“We felt we had a really good team last year. Unfortu-nately we were on the bubble looking out,” Pulliza said.

!e team is scheduled to play eight teams that advanced to the NCAA tournament last

season. !e Razorbacks have been picked to #nish third in the Southeastern Conference-West for this upcoming sea-son.

“We have a very challeng-ing schedule,” Pulliza said. “From week one, we will be playing NCAA-caliber teams and it is very important that we show up to play from the get-go.”

Although the challenging schedule ahead of the Razor-backs will be a test, the players and coaches are con#dent in their ability to take the volley-ball program to the next level this season.

“Our team expectation is to win the SEC. I’m con#dent that we’re going to be able to do that with our training,” said se-nior Amanda Anderson. “We also want to advance in the tournament, not just make it.”

“We’re talking about big things, looking forward every-day,” Pulliza added.

!is past Saturday, the Ra-zorbacks hosted a Red-White match for Arkansas fans to get a glimpse of what is in store for the 2012 campaign. 350 fans turned out to watch the White team defeat the Red team in three straight sets.

A$er the Arkansas Invita-tional tournament this com-ing weekend, the Razorbacks’ next test will be the Michigan Challenge Tournament in Ann Arbor. A$er that, the team will be back in Barnhill Arena on Sept. 7-8 for the Razorback In-vitational where they will face Louisiana-Monroe, Houston Baptist and Texas-El Paso.

A$er these three tourna-ments of non-conference play, the Razorbacks open up SEC play against Florida on Sept. 14 in Fayetteville.

!e Razorbacks return six seniors and six juniors to the team this year, making it one of the most experienced teams in recent Razorback

volleyball history.“!is is the #rst time we

feel we have a true veteran group that understands what they need to do and what needs to happen for them to be successful,” Pulliza said. “!ey get to make that choice of how good they want to be. It’s all up to that senior class to drive us.”

Earlier this month, senior outside hitter Jasmine Norton was named to COBRA Maga-zine’s All-Preseason !ird Team and was also named to the preseason All-SEC team for the third time. Norton is one of six seniors on the team, along with Roslandy Acosta, Amanda Anderson, Kasey Heckelman, Marci King and Janeliss Torres-Lopez.

Five freshmen players will be starting their careers as Ra-zorbacks this year, as well as three athletes who have trans-ferred from other schools.

“!ey impress us with their physicality from time to time but they really need those vet-erans to guide them,” Pulliza said.

Fi$h-year coach Pulliza is adamant that the best is yet to come for Razorback volleyball.

“We’re a very exciting, physical, hard-working team. !at’s the culture we’ve created here,” he said.

Razorbacks Prepare for Season Opening TournamentLiz BeadleSta! Writer

Ryan Miller Sta" PhotographerRunning back Jonathan Williams catches a pass in pre-season practice. CBS Sports Network will follow the Razorbacks this season as they vie for a national title.

!e Razorback football program will be the focus of a season-long series of “College Football Con#dential” during the 2012 season. !e series, which will consist of seven shows, debuts on Wednesday, Aug. 29, at 6 p.m. on the CBS Sports Network.

!e turmoil the team has gone through during the o"-season along with the high hopes and talent level on the team make the Razorbacks one of the most intriguing

teams for the upcoming sea-son.

“Arkansas football is one of the most fascinating stories of the 2012 season,” said Dan Weinberg, senior vice presi-dent of programming at the CBS Sports Network. “!e Ra-zorbacks are a national cham-pionship contender with two legitimate Heisman Trophy candidates and a perfect #t for a season-long version of ‘Col-lege Football Con#dential.’”

Viewers are promised in-terviews with various mem-bers of the football program, including Athletic Director Je" Long, head coach John L.

Smith and players Knile Davis and Tyler Wilson.

“!e access we’ve been granted and the storylines that have emerged provide plenty of compelling content, which allowed us to expand the ‘Col-lege Football Con#dential’ franchise to CBSSports.com for the #rst time,” Weinberg said.

Online content includes interviews, behind-the-scenes videos and live chats as well as links to social media, team news and statistics. Some of this additional content be-came available online on Monday.
