University of Memphis ROTC will compete against 23 schools from around the country Saturday for the 5th Annual Beale Street Drill Meet and Endurance Challenge.

Named after the downtown landmark, the drill meet will fea-ture several rounds and catego-ries including, but not limited to, rifle and pistol matches, sailing and an endurance race.

The competition, which is free and open to the public will take place on the Memorial Field at The U of M from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Gunnery Sgt. Frank Kammer said the competition is like foot-ball for ROTC groups.

“The competition is fun and very competitive and you get bragging rights,” he said. “Some groups are coming from Berkeley, Mo. — all for the thrill of compe-tition and peer camaraderie.”

The groups will also go to Beale Street after the competition to enjoy the nightlife and name-sake of the competition, he said. Although the public isn’t par-ticipating, Kammer said it should be fun for anyone to watch the competing schools.

“I think it’s entertaining to those looking; because people are astounded by how we do what we do,” he said. “It’s more for those who look in awe. They have fun and see what we do and go through.”

Kammer said he wants people to feel proud while watching the competition.

“The pride we have as Americans and Memphians, and know that the military is not all ‘Go out and fight,’” he said. “We’re making good officers here and giving them quality values.”

“We want to give the stu-dents a break from school at this hectic time of year,” said LeRoy Conway III, assistant area coordinator for residence life. “We wanted them to be able to have a good time and at the same time show our appreciation for the students of this University living in our residence halls.”

Team USA last won the hip-hop gold medal in 2009. The Memphis Pom Squad has col-lected 14 national champion-ship titles over the years and plans to take back the gold this year when they bring their Memphis style to the Walt Disney Wide World of Sports in Orlando, Fla.

and a farewell festival in the spring.

“That’s why we call it ‘Aloha’ because it means hello and goodbye,” Fenlong said. “We’ve done some variation of

the luau for over 10 years, but this is only the second time we’ve done it in this space.”

Conway said the RHC used social media and the word of mouth to let students know about the carnival.

“Last year we got about 200 to 300 students who participat-ed in the carnival,” Conway said. “They came out and we

all had a great time.”More than 100 students were

at the event when it began Thursday, anxiously waiting to participate in the festivities.

They could hit their resi-dent advisor in the face with a pie, throw down in a moon bounce pedestal joust or con-form to the more ceremonial luau methods — gyrating their

hips with hula hoops, hurl-ing Frisbees as far as west lawn reached or spiking a vol-leyball against their opposing challengers.

“I can’t wait to get pied in the face,” said Evan Simelton, an RA in Richardson Towers South who challenged his resi-dents to take on the task.

Air Force ROTC Detachment 785 will celebrate their 60th year at The University of Memphis today during their annual Dining Out event.

Several local dignitaries and detachment alumni will be in attendance.

“Dining Out is a formal military tradition that brings together everyone in the detachment,” said Zackary Huffman, public affairs officer for the Air Force ROTC. “It is basically designed so that the members can have a good time developing fellowship and camaraderie.”

This year’s guest speaker is

Maj. Gen. Works, former chief of staff for the TN Governor’s Adjutant General. Other dis-tinguished guests include: Maj. Gen Young, Col. Mark Devine and Detachment Air Force Officer Fuller, a recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross Award.

“It has been 60 years since The University of Memphis

Flying Tigers were estab-lished,” Huffman said. “This semester we haven’t really cel-ebrated the 60th year of our detachment much, but it will be celebrated and recognized more at the Dining Out event. Most of the honored guests attending this event are alumni from previous years.”

BY MEAGAN NICHOLSNews Reporter

Air Force ROTC dines outreal honor to be represent-ing the country as well as The University,” said Frankie Conklin, director of Tiger spir-it squads.

Winning the Hip-hop National Championship in January gave the squad auto-matic eligibility to be con-sidered for team USA in the Championships.

The International Cheer Union selected two squads to represent Team USA. Memphis will represent them in the hip-hop category and Pace Elite, a competitive cheer and dance program from California, will compete in the jazz and pom categories.

The squad has revamped its championship-winning nationals routine, Conklin said. The team will bring its trademark Memphis swag, but instead of repping the Tigers, their routine will be all about the USA.

“For our nationals compe-tition since we were repre-senting Memphis, the music said ‘Memphis’ and ‘Tigers.’ We changed the music to say ‘USA’ and ‘America’ to rep-resent the country. Our shirts now say ‘America’ instead of ‘Memphis’ and on the inside there’s a flag,” Kelly said.

At one point during the rou-tine the girls open their jack-ets to reveal an American flag design printed on the inside.

“I’ve looked at the other teams and, from what I can tell, our biggest competition will be Japan,” said Jamie Kelly, captain of the Memphis Pom Squad and senior busi-ness management major.

Team Japan won the hip-hop gold medal in 2010 with Team USA coming in second for the silver and Team China taking the bronze. Mexico, Germany, Scotland, Guatemala and Australia also participated in the hip-hop division that year.

“We have practice almost every night. We changed some of the tricks and music to make it more elite to make sure we look our best. We do it over and over to build stamina. It takes a lot of hard work,” Kelly said.

During the athletic season, the Pom Squad practices four days a week, four hours each day. All 21 squad members will travel to Orlando, but 14 will compete. There are seven alternates on the squad.

“Our squad is very talented. I love the fact that we all have the talent to combine in one routine to come out winners, and all the spirit at the games and the recognition we get. Being on the squad is very reputable,” Kelly said.

Natalie Smith, Pom Squad member and sophomore jour-nalism major, said it feels amazing to be given the chance to represent her country as a member of Team USA at the International Cheer Union world competition.

“It’s an awesome opportu-nity. If we were ever selected, I feel like this is the best year because our team is incredibly close and our talent is phe-nomenal,” Smith said.

helped to supervise planning of the drill meet as a commanding officer.

“This is the largest drill meet we’ve ever had,” he said. “The majority of schools that found out about it were really excited because of the variety of events.”

Savannah State University won first place overall in last year’s competition and will return to compete for their title.

There are about 200 students in The U of M’s ROTC program. Captain Robert Wickman, marine officer instructor, said this year the group is more focused on being a good host.

“I believe our competition is the largest one in the country that’s all-encompassing. We do it to promote camaraderie and give them a competitive environ-ment with other students,” he said. “And our students are very excited about it.”

Traditions of Greek life dating back over 100 years will be con-tinued today with the revealing of the new members of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., in what are known as “Come Out Shows.”

These organizations belong to the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc., which houses the historically black Greek letter organizations, also called “The Divine Nine.”

Beverly Burks, executive direc-tor of the NPHC, said that the actual show has changed over the years.

“When the process of how members were accepted changed in the late 80’s, early 90’s, so did the way new members were pre-

sented, and each organization has their own process of presenta-tion,” Burks said.

The new initiates are usually presented with an air of mystery around them. The groups will not even reveal how many new mem-bers will be presented.

Terrion Jamison, senior psy-chology major and Phi Beta Sigma member, said students should come to the show at 2:14 p.m. in Audubon Park if they have any questions about the new members.

“It’s a secret, but I can say it’s going to be really good,” Jamison said. “They have been working hard to put on a good show for everybody.”

Each new group of initiates is referred to as a “line,” in which they all receive aliases and num-bers. Names usually describe the member’s personality and spell-ing is often changed to fit in the organization initials, name and chapter letters.

“I was the number three on my line of seven in spring 2010 and we were named ‘Lucky 7,’” he said.

This will be the second line revealed since he had his come out show. He said every time he goes to a show it makes him reminisce about how excited he was when he performed as a new member.

Gerald Mitchell, senior busi-ness major and Kappa Alpha Psi member, said he remembers his come out show “like it was yesterday.”

Mitchell entered the Elma Roane Field House in the spring of 2008 as the number 10 on his line called the 18 K.U.T.S. of Perfecktion. He said it is a mem-ory he will carry with him for the rest of his life.

When the new members enter the room, they wear differ-ent things to hide who they are like hoodies, masks, hats and sunglasses.

Before his mask was removed, Mitchell said he thought to him-self “It’s officially official” and afterwards he threw up the fra-ternity’s hand signal and allowed the eight men behind him to be revealed.

The new group will come out at 1:30 p. m. today at a location that will be announced today at 9:11 a.m.

“This is the first line Kappa Beta chapter has had since 2009,” he said. “Can’t say how many are coming out because that would ruin the surprise, but after years of controversy ’Kappa Beta is back.’”

Jessica Roman, senior criminal justice major and member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., was already a member when the 10 TraitZ of PHIner Womanhood came out last fall.

She said each chapter is differ-ent, but her chapter, Rho Gamma, usually starts the ceremony with a song then the line greets the other Divine Nine organizations. They continue the show with the line quoting organization history and information before they reveal the participants and allow them to perform a line dance for the crowd.

“I was proud to see them come out,” Roman said. “I felt that my legacy would be continued.”

UM fraternities welcome new pledges to brotherhood

Muggles, wizards, students and all are invited to the first Yule Ball. Free butter beer, love potions, chocolate frogs and chocolate-covered wands are just part of the magic of the night hosted by the Harry Potter Club tonight.

“That sounds very enticing. Personally I am not an expert in regards to ‘Harry Potter,’ but would they allow a muggle like me to join in on the festivities? If so, what are the drawing fac-tors to said soiree, and will there be libation offered?” asked Tyler Fuehrer, senior history major, upon first hearing of the Ball.

Students can attend the Ball tonight from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the University Center River Room. Admission is free, but the club is accepting donations.

“The Yule Ball is technical-ly supposed to occur around Christmas, but that is such a busy time of year. We decid-ed that this settles better with everyone’s schedules,” said Alec Underhill, President of HPC and senior biology and chemistry major.

The Yule Ball, an event in “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” is a tradition of the Triwizard Tournament, a com-petition between a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and students at other magical schools. The tour-nament contestants and their dates open the Ball.

Underhill said the group’s purpose is to keep the Harry Potter stories alive with events like the Yule Ball for those who

grew up reading the books and then saw them come to life in the movies.

HPC made plans for roughly 50 attendees tonight and will have a dance floor and music. The ball is a formal event, to

match the books, but no one will be turned away based on what they wear.

“I think people are mainly dressing formal and giving it a ‘Harry Potter’ twist. For exam-ple, I’m wearing a suit, but I’ll be wearing my Gryffindor tie,” Underhill said.

Members of HPC, dubbed “Potterheads,” are required to have an account with Pottermore.com, an online website created by J.K. Rowling for her fans. It’s a virtual way to read and redis-cover the series.

No application or fee to join the club is required and no stu-dent will be denied membership, but HPC doesn’t recognize any member who “willfully dem-onstrates detrimental actions” towards members, the group’s constitution states.

Harry Potter Club members are organizing a Quidditch team to provide another way for “Potterheads” to get involved.

Coming off a 4-2 loss to Arkansas State in midweek, The University of Memphis Tigers will try to move up the Conference USA stand-ings when they host league foe East Carolina this weekend.

Memphis has struggled against the Pirates over the years. ECU holds a 21-10 lead in the all-time series, and have won eight of nine series against the Tigers. The lone Memphis series win was a sweep on ECU’s home field in 2006. The games have been close, however, with 15 of the 31 meetings decided by three runs or less.

East Carolina comes into the weekend slate at FedExPark with a 23-9-1 record, 6-2-1 in C-USA play. They split a pair of mid-week games, beating Elon 3-2 in 10 innings and los-ing to Old Dominion on Wednesday, 3-2. Memphis

Students can put aside their Friday the 13th woes today and celebrate diversity in the University Student Plaza from noon to 2 p.m.

The 10th annual Multicultural Festival’s theme “Unity in Diversity through 100 Years,” is aligned with The University’s centennial celebration.

The event is free and open to

the public. Lonnie Latham, associate

dean of multicultural affairs, said entertainment will include dance shows highlighting Native-American, African and Japanese cultures. There is a hip-hop per-formance scheduled as well.

“Students can learn to appre-ciate the different cultures at our University,” Latham said. “They will also learn to avoid the com-mon misconceptions that exist about other cultures. This event can really open their eyes to a

whole new world.”Each year, students set up

booths and tables to showcase their unique cultures.

There will be monitors at stu-dent tables showing slides from their home countries and exam-ples of what their lives may be like back home.

The festival is hosted by the Office of Multicultural Affairs and co-sponsored by the Student Government Association and the Center for International Student Programs and Services.

is also on a one-game losing streak with the loss to the Red Wolves on Tuesday, but had won three straight prior to that, a sweep at Marshall last weekend. The Tigers are 15-18 overall and 5-4 in league play, holding steady in fourth place in C-USA, while ECU is in sec-ond place.

The Pirates’ offense is lead by reigning C-USA Hitter of the Week Tim Younger. Younger is batting .361 on the season and has driven in 18 runs. John Wooten leads the club with 26 RBI and has blasted six home runs. East Carolina boasts 10

players with 10 or more RBI on an offense that averages six runs per game.

Memphis pitchers Dan Langfield, Sam Moll and Chase Joiner will start the three games this weekend. In league play, they have a combined 2.98 ERA with 45 strikeouts in 60.1 innings. Moll has a 0.38 ERA in league games, allow-ing seven hits and one earned run in 23.2 innings pitched. He also pitched a complete-game one-hitter on April 7, the first for Memphis since 1994.

Starting pitching has been solid for the Tigers all season. Out of 28 games this season, 20 of them have seen quality starts, already three more than the team got last season as a

whole. In last weekend’s series against Marshall, Memphis starters went 3-0 with a 1.21 ERA in 22.1 innings.

Relief pitching has given the Tigers trouble as they hold an unenviable 9.95 ERA in the eighth inning alone, allowing 38 runs on 53 hits. They have been outscored 38-16 in the eighth inning overall, 17-14 in league play.

On the offensive side, Memphis leads C-USA with 71 doubles and are on pace to approach the single-sea-son record of 137. Seniors Eli Hynes and Adam McClain are tied for the team lead with 10 doubles each, with senior Jacob Wilson adding nine.

Jonathan Fly of The University of Memphis men’s golf team. The team took second place in the Memphis Intercollegiate tournament on Wednesday and improved to No. 40 in Golfstat’s Collegiate Golf Rankings.

After going in to the final round of the Memphis Intercollegiate six spots short of first, the University of Memphis men’s golf team rallied to earn their best finish of the spring, taking second overall in the tournament, which was held at Colonial Country Club.

Led by redshirt sophomore Grant Miller’s third round score of 70 and sophomore Will Pearson’s fifth overall finish, The U of M was able to come within two strokes of taking the lead from Kennesaw State.

The Tigers tied for first fol-lowing a double-bogey from KSU’s Matt Nagy. However, a birdie on the final hole by Ben Greene sealed the deal for Kennesaw State, giving the Owls the tournament crown.

After shooting 78-77-70 for the tournament, Milner fin-ished tied for 15th place. Seniors Jonathan Fly and Jack Belote ended their two-day run tied for No. 18 overall, and junior Steve Lee earned the No. 33 spot for his performance.

Redshirt junior Carlson Cox, junior Lexus Keoninh and red-shirt freshman Alex Hoffman all finished within the top 50 for The U of M. Also contributing for Memphis were sophomore Erwan Vieillendent and Cory Gaylor, who ended the tourna-ment tied for 63rd.

The second-place finish in the Memphis Intercollegiate is the second-straight top-five per-formance for the golf team, as the U of M took third in the BancorpSouth Intercollegiate in Jackson, Miss., last week. Overall this season, the team has earned a tournament championship, fin-ished in the top five in nine of 10 tournaments and has a 99-34-1 record in head-to-head play.

Following their performance in the tournament, the team improved to No. 40 in Golfstat’s college golf rankings. With a scoring average of 72.4 this sea-son, senior Jonathan Fly received the highest individual ranking for the Tigers at No. 131. Seven members of the team, including Fly, have earned top 10 finishes this season.

“I’m very proud of the team and the level of consistency they have shown throughout the year,” head coach Grant Robbins said. “One of our goals this year was to finish the regular sea-

son in the top 50, which will assure us an NCAA Regional bid. Now that we have accom-plished that, we can focus on our goal of winning a conference championship.”

The Tigers will resume play on April 22 as a part of the Conference USA Championships in Texarkana, Ark. The confer-ence title will be heavily contest-ed as C-USA currently has six representatives in Golfstat’s top 50, including No. 40 Memphis, No. 23 Central Florida and No. 33 UAB. The NCAA Regionals for men’s golf begin on May 17.
