Redstone Campus’ Simp-son Dining Hall lost “criti-cal” points on its most recent health inspection last Novem-ber due to a broken dishwasher.

Simpson Dining Hall re-ceived an overall score of 92 out of 100 points on its last health inspection, according to healthvermont.gov. How-ever, the dining hall failed to pass on one item, that “food equipment and utensils must be properly sanitized,” result-ing in a four point deduction.

On the Vermont Health Department’s website there is a checklist of 44 items that health inspectors go through every time they inspect a food and lodging program.

“Thirteen of these items are considered ‘critical’ and address areas where there is a high like-lihood of illness if left uncorrect-ed,” according to the website.

“We started using paper on

An email went out warn-ing students of fraudulent job emails Dec. 1.

Holly Wilkinson, assistant director of the UVM Career Center, sent the warning email out.

“It is essential to research any company in depth before pursuing it, especially when they are reaching out to you directly via email,” Wilkinson wrote in the email.

The fraudulent job warn-ings page on the Career Center website asks that if a student encounters a questionable job posting they should stop com-munication with the employer at once, report it to UVM police services and, if the posting was through UVM, call Career Ser-vices as well.

One such job posting was an email sent out by Jonathan Hill.

It is unclear whether or not Jonathan Hill is a real name or not, but when an email was sent in reply to his initial email, a Maria Hill replied.

She posted a link to student-opinion.com.

Women succeed in engineeringUVM alumni have won three

Carlson was named Vermont Engineer of the Year for 2014, ZKLOH� )LWFK� ZRQ� WKH� <RXQJ�Engineer of the Year award.

The Vermont Student En-gineer of the Year award was granted to Emanuelson, who concentrated in environ-mental engineering during her time at UVM, according to the Nov. 19 press release.

“I am very proud of the suc-cess our alumni and students are having, and of the role UVM is playing in changing perceptions of the success of women in engi-neering,” said Luis Garcia, dean of UVM’s College of Engineer-ing and Mathematical Sciences.

“It is great to be able to highlight three women engi-neers all at once and focus our attention on the great work and great success of wom-en in engineering,” he said.

There was a huge gap in gender in the number of engi-neering students in colleges, according to the press release.

Women make up more than half of total college stu-dents nationwide, while only 20 percent of the engineer-ing students are women, ac-cording to the press release.

“Obviously with the three awards that three of our wom-en alumni received, it high-lights the quality of our stu-dents and how well they do in their work,” Garcia said.

The College of Engineer-ing and Mathematical Sci-

ences has been working hard to make the college a sup-portive environment for all of the students, Garcia said.

“We have programs to help all of our students suc-ceed and those apply to wom-en as well as men,” he said.

“In engineering we have both some outstanding fac-ulty members as well as some great student advisors

More than 150 high school students and dozens of teachers

how Vermont’s climate is most likely going to change going forward, according to University Communications.

Students learned how to cre-ate climate action plans for their

high schools to reduce their carbon footprints, according to University Communications.

UVM students enrolled in an ecological economics course this past fall led the workshops, as part of one of their assignments for the class.

The assignment was to “collectively organize a cli-mate summit for young Ver-monters,” according to Uni-versity Communications.

“The summit provided a great opportunity not only to help students develop action plans that will tangibly decrease the carbon footprint of their high schools,” said senior Ame-

To develop the work-shops, students worked with H[SHUWV� RQ� HQHUJ\� HFLHQF\��renewable energy project de-velopment, greenhouse gas auditing and youth organiza-tion and action, according to University Communications.

“The University of Vermont was honored to host the inau-gural Vermont Youth Climate Summit in partnership with Sen. Sanders,” said professor Jon Erickson of the Rubenstein School of Environment and Nat-ural Resources, who taught the ecological economics course.

“Our students took the lead in recruiting the high school teams and in organizing a series of engaging workshop sessions.

The summit was a very successful event, and they deserve a great deal of credit,” Erickson said.

1. Go skiing and snowboarding.

FUN THINGSto do

When it snows

2. Go sledding.

3. Go outside.

4. Stay inside and relax.

With so many mountains around Burlington, it isn’t hard to find somewhere to strap on those skis and head to the mountain for a weekend of fun.

Most ski resorts and mountains in Vermont, such as Stowe, Smugglers’ Notch and Sugarbush, offer a deal on season passes to college students.

In addition, if skiing is a little above your budget, there are still opportunities to get discounted day passes with events that UVM hosts, including the an-nual Alumni Association Ski and Ride Weekend, Jan. 30 - Feb. 1 at Stowe and Feb. 6 - 8 at Stratton.

Check out the UVM Bored page for events like this happening throughout winter.

Sledding is something that probably everyone has done and is not only fun, but also free.

And no one is too old for a fun day of sledding. “Nothing beats going out with a few friends and

penguin sliding on any hill you come across,” sopho-more Jacob Reich said.

Sledding is fun, free and a great stress reliever. Grab a sled (or something flat), find a hill and have fun.

Playing in the snow is a classic activity that never gets old.

If you are bored with papers and homework, or you feel claustrophobic being stuck inside, just walk out the door.

Bundle up to protect yourself from the freezing temperatures and grab some friends to build a snow-man or have a snowball fight.

These things are simple stress relievers, especially if you are feeling the winter blues from being stuck indoors. When all else fails, nothing is more relaxing than

sitting by a window and watching the snow fall.Grab yourself a hot drink and it will get even bet-

ter. If you are sick of the snow by the time you walk to

and from class, there is nothing wrong with wanting to stay warm inside.

Sit back, relax, put on some music and know that spring will be here again soon.

January Arts Calendar

Thirty-six years since its release, only one musical movie remains at the top of the charts and still has audi-ences singing along - the 1978 hit, “Grease.”

“Grease” enthusiasts will get a chance to relive the JORU\�RI�WKH�¿OP�-DQ�����DW�D�special sing-a-long screen-ing at the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts in Burlington.

The evening will consist of viewing a remastered, sing-a-long version of the ¿OP��D�FRVWXPH�FRPSHWLWLRQ�and the chance to meet one of the original dancers, Sean Moran.

Moran, who is a Burling-ton native, will be host-ing the event at the Flynn Center.

Moran has been a part of several larger showings of the sing-a-long version of “Grease”, including the DQQXDO�VKRZLQJ�RI�WKH�¿OP�in Los Angeles at the Hol-lywood Bowl.

In Hollywood, Moran

said that the showing always sells out and the audience all know the lyrics.

Not only do they sing, he said, “[but] they boo and they yell.”

While the Flynn Cen-ter might not bring in the same size audience as the Hollywood Bowl does, they strive for an equal amount of enthusiasm as the larger venues.

Moran said that they strongly encourage audience participation.

He hopes to bring some of the Hollywood excitement to “Grease” fans in Burling-ton.

“At the original opening there were so many people there they almost tipped over the Greased Lightning FDU�>WKDW�-RKQ�7UDYROWD�DQG�2OLYLD�1HZWRQ�-RKQ�DUULYHG�in],” Moran said.

“Grease” continues to inspire such excitement be-cause “it’s one of those cult shows,” Moran said.

“[Fans] are very covetous of ‘Grease.’ [They] send me ‘Grease’ things that they’ve collected.”

What’s more, Moran said, is that “Grease” fans come from all walks of life.

At the Hollywood Bowl, “you can have a grand-mother dressed as Sandy at 80 and then you can have a little kid dressed as Sandy at ¿YH�´�0RUDQ�VDLG��

Moran said he thinks “this will be fun for the Flynn,” especially as they try to branch out and incorpo-rate a wide variety of perfor-mances and events.

“The Flynn tries to do DOO�GLHUHQW�WKLQJV�´�0RUDQ�said.

He hopes that the sing-a-

long will become an annual event.

While the movie may be a new event for the Flynn Center, it has been a con-stant in the lives of cast members like Moran.

When asked how much of his life was focused on “Grease,” he quickly re-sponded without hesitation, “all of it.”

For Moran, the musi-cal movie “opened and still opens a lot of doors,” he said. “And it changed a lot

of lives.”Since auditioning for

“Grease” after graduating college, Moran has been deeply connected to the musical movie.

Even when auditioning for his roles in shows like “Private Practice” or “ER,” he was always asked about “Grease.”

Moran expects “Grease” will continue to experience a high level of popularity, as LW�KDV�IRU�RYHU����\HDUV��

+H�VDLG��WKDW�WKH�¿OP�KDV�

become “a hit beyond its years.”

The sing-a-long will be KHOG�-DQ�����DW���S�P�

Tickets are still available for the special sing-a-long version of “Grease.” They FRVW�����IRU�DGXOWV�DQG�����for students and children.

From “cult” fans to new-comers, the Flynn Center urges all to “don those pink jackets, grease up those TXLV´�DQG�JHW�SUHSDUHG�IRU�a night of “Grease.”

“At the original opening there were so many

people there they almost tipped over

the Greased Lightning car.”

Environmentalists “threw down the picket signs” and picked up their instruments for their New Year’s Eve performance at Higher Ground.

-DPHV�0XVFKOHU��SHUFXVVLRQ-ist for the Brooklyn-based band Moon Hooch, said the music that he makes with saxophonists Mike Wilbur and Wenzl McGowen is “a natural solution to the electronic genre”.

This authentic approach trans-lates to the band’s philosophy towards the environment.

The three musicians are “com-PLWWHG�WR�¿QGLQJ�DQG�H[SORULQJ�VXV-tainable solutions for the planet,” said Muschler.

They are environmentalists and at the end of their shows always ask audience members who are also involved in sustainability to contact them.

There are a consistent number of fans that reach out to share in the same interests as the band mem-bers.

Moon Hooch’s set list is deter-mined by a metronome that they start at the beginning of their show.

This causes most of their perfor-mances to have the same order of songs.

The band got its start playing for passengers on subways across the country.

The names of their songs, for H[DPSOH�³1XPEHU��´�DQG�³/RZ���´�come from the motions used to communicate the next song to other

members when the environment in the subway got hectic.

Other titles, such as “Song for Miguel,” which is named for the man who gave McGowen his saxo-phone, have to do with people in the musician’s lives.

As well as continuing to make music, the group hopes to utilize Moon Hooch as a social platform in order to bring people together for

sustainable solutions. Muschler said he could not have

it any other way and “needs music in [his] life.”

The band members are cur-rently working on an environmental documentary with content “in the works, depending on who [they] can interview,” said Muschler.

They are still searching for a ¿OP�FUHZ�LQ�RUGHU�WR�JDWKHU�PRUH�

professional interviews.The three members are all

vegan. They focus on the farm-to-table

movement, as well as on building eco-villages and renovating and improving existing ones, they said.

Any extra money that the members have, after costs such as student loans, is used towards their environmentalist goals.

A local jam quartet took Higher *URXQG�E\�VWRUP�'HF�����������ZDV�D�ELJ�\HDU�IRU�7ZLGGOH��both musically and commercially. Their improvisational blend of sounds, a genre that can only be called “Vermont music,” reached a larger crowd than ever this sum-mer.

Due to this increased popular-ity, dedicated fans have started WR�UHDFK�WKHLU���WK�RU�HYHQ���WK�show milestones. Frontman Mihali Savoulidis said that those fans de-

served personalized shout-outs. Twiddle’s improvisation and set list variety skills has shown substantial improvement due to the experience that can only come from touring and creating strong chemis-try among members. By the end of the year, Twiddle GHOLYHUHG�VL[�VRQJ�VHWV�¿OOHG�ZLWK�impressive jams at just about every show. The second night of their run at Higher Ground was no slouch. Power funk wizards, Ray Pacz-kowski and Russ Lawton of Soule Monde, set the tone for a night focused on improvisation. Soule Monde is pure concen-trated funk. Paczkowski, who looks ee-ULO\�VLPLODU�WR�-HUU\�*DUFLD�RI�7KH�Grateful Dead, played the organ over Lawton’s drum beats. Their instrumental grooves, including a tango, got the crowd moving immediately.

More than 25,000 police gathered for the funeral of Of-ficer Rafael Ramos in New York City on Dec. 27.

While the sheer number of officers that attended the funer-al was newsworthy, the funeral made headlines for a moment that came during the speech made by New York City’s mayor, Bill de Blasio.

When the mayor started to speak, hundreds of police of-ficers immediately turned their backs. Why? Let me explain.

In a Dec. 7 interview, de Bla-sio said, “With Dante, my son, very early on, we said, ‘Look, if a police officer stops you, do ev-erything he tells you to do, don’t move suddenly, don’t reach for your cell phone.’ ”

On national news, de Blasio is telling his son not to trust the police; moreover, if he does hap-pen to reach for his cell phone or make sudden movements, it is

possible that he will be in danger. He is publicly saying that he

does not believe his child, who is half black, is safe when in the presence of an NYPD officer.

Here is a man who is the face of the city, a man that the police force should believe in and look up to.

Imagine you are a police of-ficer, putting your life on the line, only to hear your mayor saying that not only does he not trust you, but that he worries his son will get hurt if he interacts with you or another officer.

Because of comments like these, some police union officials have accused de Blasio of adding to a climate of mistrust between the people of New York City and the police department.

Some, including me, believe that this mistrust was a contrib-uting factor in the murders of Of-ficers Ramos and Liu.

In another interview, de Bla-sio identified a “rift” that must be overcome between the public and the police, saying that the “incidents” across the country highlight a problem within po-lice forces and “there is some-thing fundamental we have to get at here.”

The “fundamental” problem

he is referring to, of course, is racial discrimination. While it is certainly true that some police officers do commit criminal acts, the reality is that the vast major-ity of police officers do not.

In reality, the majority of po-lice officers put their lives on the line everyday to protect the peo-ple of their city, as illustrated by the murders of Ramos and Liu.

They did nothing to provoke the murderer; they were targeted simply because of the uniform they wore.

The police are naturally re-sponding to public scorn. Every-thing from arrests, summonses and even parking tickets has drastically dropped over the holidays.

NYPD statistics show park-ing and traffic tickets have dropped 90 percent, and in the week of Jan. 1, only 2,401 ar-rests were made, compared to last year in the same time period, during which 5,448 were made.

The week after New Year’s continues to show a large decline in the amount of general police activity in the city.

This has been attributed not only to the current hatred of po-lice occurring throughout the nation and fear of more public

resentment, but also the low mo-rale of the NYPD created by de Blasio’s comments.

I support the decisions of the NYPD officers who turned their back on de Blasio that day.

Not only because of his com-ments expressing his fear and distrust of police officers, but also because as mayor he should be trying to support the NYPD in this time of extreme police ha-tred, as they are sworn to protect his city.

In his ABC interview, he turned his back on the men and women of the NYPD.

It makes sense that they would then turn their backs on him.

STAFF EDITORIALEvery semester, students’

bags get a little heavier and their wallets get a lot lighter.

High textbook prices have been a burden on students for far too long and it’s time to do some-thing about it.

The high price of textbooks severely limits the quality of edu-cation for students at UVM and across the country. Students will resort to borrowing a friend’s old book, pirating it or not even buy-ing the book.

Seven out of 10 students surveyed at 13 colleges admit-ted to not buying a book due to high prices, according to a study by the Public Interest Research Group

Let’s outline the problem. The average student in America will spend $1,200 on textbooks every year, according to the Col-lege Board.

The cost of textbooks has in-creased at twice the rate of infla-tion, which is not too far behind tuition increases, according to the U.S. Government Account-ability Office.

The profit margin is gener-ous for college bookstores, too. A little over one-fifth of the price of a textbook will go to the college store according to the U.S. News and World report.

The cost is outrageous, but what’s more outrageous is how

little has been done about it.Some solutions to this prob-

lem have already started to work. At the University of Maryland, a program has been implemented to provide open-source materials to students at all 18 of their insti-tutions, according the Baltimore Sun.

The program asks professors to compile their course materials from free resources online.

New organizations have started to provide free resources

to students. Companies such as Boundless.com have textbook al-ternatives available for free or for very little money.

These companies are riding a wave of open educational re-sources that have spread over the internet in recent years.

When it comes down to it, though, no solutions have be-come mainstream.

Asking professors to write their own books is costly and time-consuming. Using open

source materials that aren’t course-specific could result in a lot of different information on a topic, confusing professor and student alike.

For now, we can only urge higher education to move in the right direction.

Use your friends’ books. Buy used and shop around. Use the reserve books in the library. Don’t let a backward industry ruin your education.

Mayor and police standoff

Buying books on the cheap

Some, including me, believe that

this mistrust was a contributing factor in the murders of
