Student shaves head for charity
Crystal Tubbs
Mace & Crown
Mary Hay took it all off– her head!
While most students spent their spring breaks on
vacation or relaxing, Hay spent her’s preparing for St.
Baldrick’s Day and being bald.
Earlier this year, Hay made a pledge to participate in
the largest volunteer fund-raiser for children’s cancer
research, and this past weekend, she fulfilled her
promise.
“I am just so proud of her to be involved in a group
like this to raise money for cancer research,” said
Susan, Hay’s mother who battled breast cancer and has
been two-years cancer-free. “I think its awesome, and
the fact she is willing to shave her head for it is just
great.”
When Hay first started fund-raising to shave her
head her goal was $1,000. With the help of her family,
friends, church and community Hay was able to raise
$2,177.50, doubling her goal.
“For a while, I was really nervous I wasn’t going to
make my goal,” said Hay. “My pastor heard that I only
needed $230 to make my goal, on a spur of the moment,
he called me up front and said ‘Hey, Mary only has a
little bit left. What do you say we help her out?’ And
took up an entire collection just for me and raised a
little bit over $500. It was amazing; I started to cry.”
At 11 a.m. on March 15, Hay, surrounded by family
and friends, faced the clippers. But before her hair was
gone, Hay wanted to have a little fun with it.
“We were up till 2:30 a.m. making her hair green,”
said Janelle Person, Hay’s roommate and fellow student.
3
“She’s been busy with school, raising money for the
event, she hasn’t given much thought to going bald yet.
I think its finally hitting her now.”
Her friends all thought she was going to look beautiful bald, and it was time to find out.
Hay sat in the chair and ran her fingers through her
long hair one last time, then she put it in a ponytail.
First, the ponytail went. Over the next 15 minutes her
mother, father, roommate and friends helped shave
Hay’s hair until there was none left.
“Holy crap! How much hair do I have,” asked Hay,
when the first big chunks started to fall and she touched
bare skin for the first time.
“I was nervous and now, it feels a little warm right
now, I guess cause all the heat is escaping. I feel like I
have hair pieces everywhere,” she said.
At 11:19 a.m. just a couple hours into the event,
CHKD has made their total goal of $100,000 with
only 40 people shaving their head. The event coordinator Karen McKinley said that they estimated to have
at least 150 people shave their head. By the end of the
day CHKD and the 146 volunteers raised $122,000 for
children’s cancer research.
Hay had a hard time finding words at how quickly
the event had meet its total goal, “It’s just so hard to
describe it. That’s just amazing that that can happen,”
said Hay.
Hay made herself a green beanie for the occasion
and plans to flaunt her glistening head.
“There were actually a couple of kids that got to shave
people in there. The look on their face, they’re just so
excited that people would do this for them,” said Hay.
“If you could put that smile on their face why not.”

State Officials visit ODU’s algal bio-diesel facility
Preston Bryant, Virginia secretary of natural resources, and Steve
Waltz, senior energy advisor to Gov. Tim Kaine, visited the ODUrun Virginia Initiative Wastewater Treatment Plant on Friday, Feb.
29. They were there to check on the progress of the Virginia Coastal
Energy Research Consortium, which has its headquarters at ODU’s
Norfolk campus. The officials were particularly interested in the
VCERC’s efforts streamline the creation of algal bio-diesel. Algal
bio-diesel is a clean energy source that the ODU researchers hope
to develop into a more economical alternative to corn-based biofuel.
ODU Film Festival tickets now on sale
Tickets are now available for the “ONFilm Festival,” the second
annual film festival co-sponsored by Old Dominion University
and the city of Norfolk. This year’s theme is “Reel Politics,” and
will feature an appearance from actor/director Danny Glover. The
event, which runs from March 29 to April 5, will focus on a specific
theme each day, ranging from “Cold War politics” to “the politics of
gender.” The event will be held on campus, with featured visits from
well-known actors, producers and directors. For ticket information,
call 683-3114.
General Assembly passes budget, ODU funding still undecided
Virginia Lawmakers came to a preliminary agreement late last
week on a $77 billion budget plan, but had yet to make a decision
regarding a bond package that would pay for construction projects
on the commonwealth’s higher education campuses. The Senate
wants to borrow roughly $2 billion for the construction, while the
House of Delegates is proposing a slimmer $1.2 billion plan. It’s
likely the two legislative bodies will need to meet for a special
session next month to come to an agreement on the issue.
New York governor resigns amid scandal
New York Gov. Elliot Spitzer resigned last week after it was
revealed that he had repeatedly paid for the services of a prostitute
and had potentially misused state resources while engaging in the
crime. Spitzer, who is married with children, is reportedly seeking a
plea deal that would keep him out of prison. Former Lt. Gov. David
Paterson will fill in as governor for the remainder of Spitzer’s term.

Analysis of faculty salaries
Alex MacDonald
Mace & Crown
An analysis of the Old Dominion University
faculty salaries shows a widening gap in average
pay among academic departments, with the topearning department outpacing the lowest by
$88,944.15. This is up from an analysis done
in April 2006, which showed an earning gap of
$61,680.
The highest average salary for 2008 belongs to
the aerospace engineering department, checking
in at $130,737.78. The 2006 analysis, which also
listed the department as the highest earner on
average, showed an average salary of $115,801.
In 2008, the lowest earning department was
the Child Development Center, whose faculty
average is $41,793.63. In 2006, the lowest earner
was the foreign language department, with an
average salary of $54,121.
Of the top ten departments in average earnings,
four came from the College of Business and
Public Administration, four from the College of
Engineering and Technology and two from the
College of Sciences. Not represented in the top
ten were the College of Education, the College
of Arts and Letters, the College of Health Sciences and Academic Affairs.
The College of Engineering and Technology
has the highest average salary, $97,047.89 per
year. Academic Affairs came in as the lowest
with an average salary of $45,628.
The College of Sciences led in total salary
with $13,772,392, followed by Arts and Letters
with $12,689,299. The smallest total expenditure went to Academic Affairs with $799,181.
Most university officials point to market
forces as the primary cause of the disparities
in average pay. Robert Fenning, ODU’s vice
president of administration and finance, said
that salaries were dictated mainly by what a
particular faculty member could demand in
the private sector or from a comparable public
institution. He didn’t see the pay differences as
a new phenomenon.
“The differences in pay between the various
departments and disciplines have existed at
least for the 30 years that I’ve been involved,”
he said.
Dr. Chandra De Silva, dean of the College
of Arts and Letters, said the competition with
other employers is having the unintended consequence of driving up the salaries of more
recently hired professors relative to faculty
that have been employed at the university for a
longer period.
“They cannot hire people at the salaries they
were offering anymore,” he said. As a result,
newly hired faculty is closing the gap with its
more tenured peers. “You may find cases of
people who have been here for years making
less than people who were hired over the last
several years.”
University Provost and Vice President of
Academic Affairs Carol Simpson referred to
this phenomenon as “salary compression.” She
said that the university is aware of the situation
and carefully evaluating it.
“It is an area of concern for us,” she said. “We
are acutely aware of it, and we are currently
looking very closely at salary structures.”
The ’08 analysis also discovered a gap in
average pay between the head coaches of ODU’s
male and female sports teams. The men’s
coaches earned an average of $100,977.75,
whereas the women’s coaches earned an average
of $ 80,008.44. The top-earning men’s coach
was Blaine Taylor with $208,000, while Wendy
Larry topped the women’s coaches, earning the
exact same amount.
Sailing coach Mitch Brindley, diving/
swimming coach Carol Withus and tennis coach
Darryl Cummings head up men’s and women’s
teams, so were counted in both averages.
Of the top-ten individual earners, two came
from business and public administration, two
from sciences and one from engineering and
technology. The rest of the top ten were comprised of three vice presidents: Mohamed
Karim , Fenning and Simpson and the university president, Roseann Runte.
Six of the top-ten individual earners for 2008
were also in the top ten in the 2006 analysis.
These were Runte, Fenning, former ODU President and current professor of economics James
Koch, Professor of Computer Science Kurt
Maly, Professor and Eminient Scholar Ahmed
Noor and Dean of Business and Public Administration Nancy Bagranoff.
New to the top ten were Simpson, Karim,
Chemistry Professor and Researcher Patrick
Hatcher and Executive Director of Foundations Alonzo Brandon. Not appearing in this
year’s top ten were Tom Isenhour, the former
ODU Provost, Professor of Engineering Karl
Schoenbach, Taylor and Larry.
Among those returning top ten, Fenning
saw the largest increase in salary both by percentage and by overall pay, with his earnings
rising from $178,880 in ‘06 to $225,956 in ’08
for a total raise of $47,076. Bagranoff saw the
second largest increase, rising from $176,722 to
$210,000 for a total raise of $33,278.
Overall, the 747 members of ODU’s
teaching faculty average $77,465.65 a year
for a total expenditure of $57,866,840.55. The
university pays its 333 administrative staff
members an average of $70,614.47, totaling
$23,514,618.51. The school’s 1,009 classified
staff earns an average of $36,736.08 for a total
of $37,066,704.72.

from data provided by ODU’s human resources
department. Average departmental salaries are

Get to know your SGA candidates:
Derrick Francis
Crystal Tubbs
Carl Pucci
Michelle Raposa
Mace & Crown
Mace & Crown
Junior business major Derrick Francis
believes he has been preparing his whole
life for the role of SGA president.
“I’ve been a leader all of my life,” said
Francis. “As a little league baseball player, I
actually won the leadership award. I am the
definition of leadership.”
This confident young man came to Old
Dominion University by way of the bayou.
He grew up in New Orleans, but after the
devastation of Hurricane Katrina, he moved
here to be with family.
“After the landfall of Hurricane Katrina,
I helped to lead evacuation efforts out of the
hospital,” said Francis.
Since arriving at ODU, Francis has
excelled in the learning environment.
“I wanted a school that would challenge
me and nurture my intellect,” said Francis.
“I’m happy with my decision because I’m on
the Dean’s List in the College of Business
[and] business manager of WODU Radio.”
Francis began working with the station in
the fall semester serving as music director
and quickly moved up the ranks.
“I excelled at the position of music
director in the fall and was voted unanimously into the business manager position
in the spring,” said Francis.
He brought artists such as Styles P,
Rocko, Quan and Freeway to WODU and
also helped “Clothing for the Community,”
which has become one of the largest clothing
drives in ODU’s history.
With these accomplishments, Francis
feels he’s ready for the role of president.
“I’m more than familiar with budgets,
organizing people and allocating resources.
I’m the best person for student body president because I’m best prepared for the
position,” said Francis. “I also currently
represent the commonwealth of Virginia
in many major publications, such as Ozone
Magazine.”
Even though he will be a senior next year,
his course load will not effect his term.
“There are two types of people in this
world. There are those that feel the heat and
get out of the kitchen. Then, there are those
that allow the pressure to develop them into
a diamond. I am the diamond,” he said.
“Many of the issues that I address in class
will be put into action as SGA and student
body president. I will put my business management/communications background to
work in conjunction with making ODU the
best place to learn in America,” Francis
said.
Francis is so confident in his abilities to
lead the student body that he had one word
for his opponents: “pray.”

Francis believes he is the definition of
leadership.
Official campaigning hasn’t started
yet, but contenders have been allowed to
produce Facebook pages already.
Francis’ Facebook page is called, “Vote
Derrick M.J. Francis for SGA & Student
Body President - April 7-8, 08!”
“Go join! I have posted several discussion
topics such as parking reform, housing
reform and ODU Police,” Francis said.
When asked about what students should
expect on March 24 when campaigning
officially begins, Francis said, “My campaign is not about the 2.8 million people
that I have reached as a broadcast journalist.
It isn’t about the fact that I represent the
commonwealth of Virginia in many major
publications. This campaign is based on my
ability to lead intelligently, effectively and
with compassion.”
“My competitor actually resigned
from SGA last year due to an inability to
work with a team. As business manager
of WODU, I’m working with a team constantly. As SGA and student body president,
I will take the same selfless attitude into
office. I want to hear your opinions. I want
your input,” he said.
In order to prepare for campaigning and
reach the student body and find out what
its issues are, Francis conducted a survey
of a few hundred students and found that
parking and housing were big issues.
“Availability and price of books, course
offerings and library hours were well represented as well,” said Francis. “I, Derrick
M.J. Francis, want to tackle all of these
issues as student body president.”
He also had some fine words about the
roles his opponents want to take.
“My competitors are ethnocentric and
have their own ideas for what you should
receive,” he said. “I believe that government
should be for us and by us. My competitors
are proposing what some would call a dictatorship; I promote democracy.”
[email protected]
This semester, Carl Pucci, Rachael
Albrecht, and Jolisa Parham are running
on a joint ticket for SGA leadership votes
for president, executive vice president and
president of internal affairs.
Pucci, originally from Bath, N.C., is an
environmental geography and political
science double-major. Albrecht, a theater
major from Chesapeake, brings a wide
variety of knowledge to the table having
lived in Europe and California for several
years. Parham is a civil and environmental
engineering major from Prince George, Va.
Pucci is also founder and president of
Students Undertaking Responsibility for
the Global Environment, an environmentalist group on campus, and is chairman of
Virginia21, an active lobbyist group for 18
to 24 year-olds in the Virginia State General
Assembly. During the summer, he works as
a research scientist at sea. He has the satisfaction of seeing and helping students from
the first day they walk into admissions to
the day they accompany him on the research
vessel as graduate students.
Regardless of his background, Pucci said
that it is not his experience that counts but
the issues for which he stands that make the
difference of his campaign.
“We need to see through the walls that
divide this institution and lead through a
relationship with our students,” Pucci said.
“This is the single most powerful goal of
my team and I, and it is exactly how we will
awaken Old Dominion.”
He said the SGA should be the binding
force that holds every core issue together.
He said he has spent his “whole life coming
up with dreams, ideas and ways to inspire
people.”
“I want to use that here, to bring our students and our people together to show them
that their government can and will stand for
them,” he said.
If elected, some of the first issues that
Pucci intends to work on are unifying Greek
organizations and accomplishing goals that
will aid all organizations. He also intends
on giving the Senate constituency.
“The best thing that we can do as leaders
is to be the voice of students and thus bring
their ideas directly to the proper people,”
said Pucci. This would also mean that executive orders and appointed positions would
have to be ratified by the senate.
He also said that it is very important to
nominate representatives from the various
ODU Teletechnet sites, so that those students may also have a voice in the SGA.
Pucci said he and his team will work
hard to enhance the freedom of information
flow between students and the university.
They will put minutes from all meetings
on the SGA website and will hold town hall
meetings. Pucci’s main goal is to see the
SGA become active and thriving within the
student body.
Pucci wants to see certain information
from the university become more easily
available, such as construction and parking
changes. He would also like to see a new,
more reliable Fix-It system, utilizing Foot
Prints for maintenance repair tracking.
When asked why he would like to be SGA
president, Pucci said that when he arrived
on campus he could feel ODU’s heartbeat;
he has fought many battles within the Virginia State General Assembly, showing representatives that ODU students do care and
have goals for their school. In his freshman
year at ODU, he was appointed environmental policy advisor to President Roseann
Runte. He served as co-chair of earth and
ocean sciences. Through this experience he
said his No. 1 goal is to represent the students directly by knowing who they are personally.
Pucci` said it is very important to not just
hand out fliers. He has made it his mission
to talk one on one with people.
To learn more about Pucci, Albrecht and
Parham’s campaign, visit www.awakenodu.
com or their Facebook group, “Awaken
ODU.”

Life of a parking attendant:
Grandon balances career, education
Megan Tinsley
Mace & Crown
Rob Grandon, supervisor of
parking services, balances a career
and an education at Old Dominion
University. His fields of study are
sociology and computer science
where he presently holds a 3.81
grade point average.
When asked about the inspiration
for his current position, he leaned
forward, clasped his hands together
and said, “I came down here as a
level one employee. I wanted my
foot in the door to do something. I
wanted to work for the university
and I applied for 10 jobs.”
Grandon, who oversees the ticketwriting crew, said one of the challenges he faces is keeping everyone
happy. He often receives phone calls
and e-mails from students and staff
needing his services. He explained
that it is difficult to accommodate
everyone and respond to every
request simultaneously.
He said he often shows compassion and give a warning to
parking violators, including newcomers, people who are issued their
first ticket. In addition, for first-time
visitors, he writes visitor passes.
However, he has encountered people
who frequently park in no parking
zones and handicapped spaces.
“You try to keep your cool with
everybody. There’s a fair way to
handle it, but there are excuses
people give after receiving ticket
after ticket,” Grandon said. “Sometimes, people who are really handicapped, cannot park where the space
is marked.”
“There’s definitely less convenient places to park, but it is a pet
peeve of mine when the disabled are
forced to park on the opposite side of
the street. They have to scuffle just
to cross. Suppose they suffer from
a medical condition in the process
due to a driver parking unlawfully,”
he said.
A New Jersey native, he graduated from Burlington College and
Rowan University before moving to
Virginia.
Grandon, who grew up Catholic,
said he remains a believer of the
faith, but he does not consider
himself a devoted religious person.
When asked about education, he

Old Dominion University’s women’s
studies students recently formed a chapter
of the National Women’s Studies Honor
Society, the first of its kind at ODU.
Its mission is to encourage and reward
students who pursue women’s studies.
Its members will also increase their professional development through networking
activities, such as inviting professionals to
speak and attending conferences together.
Members will also participate in community service with organizations that serve
women.
Alisa Reed, a senior women’s studies
major, said that students can become
members if they have at least sophomore
status, have completed two classes that focus
on women and have at least a 3.0 grade point
average. If a student is interested and does
not meet the requirements, that person can
participate in activities but cannot become
an officer. Membership is open to both
graduate and undergraduate students.
Stacy Gorman, a sociology graduate
student, used the word “interdisciplinary”
to describe the Women’s Studies Honor
Society.
“This organization is a major benefit to
the women’s studies students, but it also benefits students outside this department,” she
said. “For example, a sophomore sociology
student with a 3.0 GPA who took the sociology classes ‘Violence against Women’ and
‘Sociology of Women’ would be eligible to
join this Women’s Studies Honor Society.”
“This honor society provides a wonderful
opportunity to connect our mileau of students
in their various interests,” said Jennifer Fish,
a women’s studies professor. “We welcome
women and men from all disciplines to
join this organization and explore issues of
gender, inequality and social justice.” “As the faculty advisor, I am elated to
support students in their endeavors to extend
their learnings beyond the classroom,” she
said. “I invite each ODU student to complete
an application.”
The Women’s Studies Honor Society’s
first meeting will be on March 26, from 6:20
to 7:00 p.m. in the Smithfield Room in Webb
Center.
To apply, students can pick up applications from the Women’s Studies Office in
Suite 3041 in BAL. Students who want
more information can contact Fish at jfish@

are encouraging in the sense that participation in the electoral process is
becoming more and more prevalent in
the younger generations, the numbers
behind this increase are slightly
deceptive.
An analysis by Old Dominion University political science professor Dr.
Glenn Sussman showed that while the
turnout was indeed far higher than previous elections, it is still far below the
turnout you see from other age groups.
Citing polls done by RocktheVote.
com, the 18 to 29 voting block increased
from 40 percent to 49 percent from
the 2000 election to the 2004 election.
However, the next lowest group, the 30
to 44 bracket, had a turnout of 59 percent
in 2000 and a 62 percent turnout in
2004. While the youth vote is growing,
it is not as robust as the mass media is
making it out to be.
Those who operate RocktheVote.com
champion the youth vote increase as the
turning point of elections. A clarion
call to young people that their voices
do matter, and that with the collective
force of the younger generation going to
the ballot box, they can make all the difference.
In elections where the presidency
is decided by scant five-hundred-andchange votes, the youth vote becomes
a deciding factor in future elections.
Furthermore, recent young voters have
come to the forefront explaining that
they too have a vested interest in the
future of this country, despite scathing
rhetoric from political commentators
like Bob Parks of the Canadian Free
Press that herald the youth as “blindly
loyal” and “substance-ignorant.”
Sussman presented a counterargument that a “stakeholder” mentality in
the youth of America as pressure from
growing economic burdens, the war in
Iraq, increasing oil prices and rising
college tuitions hit at home and in the
classroom. These issues have charged
students with a new sense of understanding that they have the capacity to
play a vital role in the upcoming elections.
“I don’t know everything about the
candidates, but I want to learn more,”
Casey Crowson, a first-year theater
student, said. “I want to be informed.
Not from CNN or from word of mouth;
I want to hear it from the candidates. I
want to know what they are going to do
to fix these problems.”
Sussman also said that the youth vote
is split evenly between all three candidates. Fears by some Republicans that
the youth vote is flooding the left wing
while leaving the right wing wanting
have become palpable as rallies for
both Obama and Clinton show fields of
young Americans cheering at the top of
their lungs.
However, one factor that could shift
support from the younger voters would
be an inequity in the conventions that
are scheduled for Aug. 25-28 for the
Democrats and Sept. 1-4 for the Republicans. While McCain has clinched the
Republican nomination, the Democratic
nomination is still up in the air and could
possibly lead to serious problems.
“There has to be a sense of efficacy
in the vote. There has to be a sense of
fairness in the process,” Sussman said
regarding the Democratic nomination.
“If it feels fixed there is going to be a
rise in jaded Americans looking at an
apparently broken process.”
Another concern for the youth voters
is the loss of “their candidate.” In The
Mace & Crown, in an article on the
mock debates held by the Student Government Association, CeCe Almond
said after his candidate of choice, Mitt
Romney, dropped from the race, he has
decided to not even register to vote. This
passion is going to force the supporters
of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to
make a hard decision when one walks
away with the Democratic nomination.
Will young Democrats throw in the
towel and go home disappointed, or, as
Sussman put it, come together to form
a unified front against the Republican
Party’s candidate for the presidential
election?
Regardless of what side these voters
are on, the elections are beginning to
heat up. The young voters of America
are watching, listening and waiting.
Come Election Day, we will finally see
the numbers and possibly see a continued rise in the political participation
of those young men and women who
will live with the choices made on that
day whether they cast their ballots or
not.
The torch of over-sexed Democrat has been passed from former
President Bill Clinton to now- Opinion
former New York Governor Eliot
Spitzer.
Spitzer was implicated in a high-priced prostitution
ring, earning the illustrious code name of Client 9. It’s very
James Bond, 007-ish. But, unlike Bond, Spitzer didn’t have
a jet pack to get out of this jam. He officially resigned on
Monday, March 10.
Spitzer epitomizes hypocrisy. He got elected on the
platform of being an enforcer of truth and justice. He was
someone who wasn’t corrupted, possessing strong ethical
standards…guess not.
The Spitzer scandal reminds us that many politicians
espouse poetic notions of honor and truth simply to get
elected, not because it’s a true reflection of their lifestyles.
“I have acted in a way that violates my obligation to my
family and violates my or any sense of right or wrong,” said
Spitzer, according The New York Times.
Give me a break. Spitzer isn’t truly sorry and doesn’t
deeply regret his actions. He deeply regrets getting caught.
In his initial press conference, Spitzer did not mention
the prostitution case. He ambiguously apologized and
described the situation as a “private matter.” This wasn’t
a mental slip. He didn’t talk about the case because he was
trying to work out a deal with prosecutors before admitting
anything to the public or officially resigning.
The evidence – including a wiretapped conversation
between Spitzer and his “companion” requesting the “services” of a young woman during a trip from New York to
Washington, D.C. – made its way into the media, and the
response from the public was resounding: Spitzer needed
to go.
“The governor who was going to bring ethics back to
New York state, if he was involved in something like this,”
said Assemblyman James Tedisco, “he’s got to leave. I don’t
think there’s any question about that,” according to The
New York Times.
The downfall of Spitzer is reminiscent of the tragic
comedy. He was a man destined for greatness. Some suggested he could have been a presidential candidate in 2012
or 2016. In less than a week, he lost it all.
But don’t cry for Spitzer. The decisions he made were
totally self-aware and independent from outside influence.
If he wants to blame someone, a look in the mirror is appropriate.
What’s most truly disheartening is the pattern of sleazy
individuals in the political world. I know, I know, sleazy politicians are nothing new, but it’s still disappointing to watch
someone who professed integrity and honesty get exposed
for the philandering pervert he or she truly is underneath
his or her calculated political veneer.

COMMENTARY
Our Opinion:
No fret over publishing
faculty salaries
Our opinion represents the collective
viewpoint of the Mace & Crown editorial board that consists of all our
paid members of staff.
The question of whether or not faculty
salaries should be published has been
raised. In our research, many individuals,
both administrators and professors, cited
the tension and unease associated with publicly detailing the yearly pay of employees.
While these concerns are valid, the publication of faculty salaries is not meant
to embarrass or upset professors and or
administrators at the university. Our motivation behind this publication is simple:
transparency and public knowledge.
Transparency is a necessary element for
any organization, business or university.
A full disclosure of facts is essential to
engender trust with everyone associated
with one of these entities. In our case: Old
Dominion.
Faculty salaries should not be a taboo
subject hidden in the shadowy depths of
paperwork. Presenting salaries for all to see
helps achieve transparency for ODU, which
should only produce positive results.
Clearly, public knowledge is near and
dear to our hearts. We at the Mace feel
it is not only our choice, but our duty to
view and publish faculty salaries. ODU is
a public university. Therefore, faculty salaries are of public record and can be published in a newspaper without the consent
of university officials.
We complied with all of the standards
and regulations, including the completion
of a Freedom of Information Act request.
We did not obtain the information in a surreptitious manner, so we have no qualms in
publishing it for the general public to see.
Publishing faculty salaries not only
brings awareness, but it could also enact
change for professors and administrators at
the university. If a faculty member picks up
this edition of the Mace and questions why
his or her salary is not comparable to colleagues or other sectors of the university,
he or she can address the issue with university officials and potentially correct
the discrepancy. We’re not suggesting
every faculty member who feels he or she
underpaid should complain, but he or she
has the option with the information we have
compiled and presented for the public.
After our analysis, it is clear that some
departments at the university are compensated more than others. Having this information available enables all departments to
question and verify the allocation of funds
vis-à-vis the university.
The revelation of salaries should not
make faculty or staff uneasy or ashamed. A
professor making six figures should be able
to justify his or her salary based on accomplishments, achievements and experience
with the university. Likewise, a professor
making less should be able to question why
he or she is not making more.
The publication of salaries was also
done in part for the students. Every student
has the right to know what his or her tuition
money is going towards. Faculty salaries
account for well over $100 million of the
university’s total expenditures. As students, a portion of our tuition goes towards
paying faculty.
The distribution of salaries across
departments varies significantly. Students
should be able to see which departments
receive more funding and compensation.
This allows students to make decisions
about career paths and course studies.
The Mace & Crown will continue to
publish faculty salaries in the future and
will do so with the simple motivation of
presenting public information to the general
public. It’s a simple notion, but the bedrock
of journalism. With this analysis, it is clear that there is
no standard salary for university professors.
Readers should be aware that many of the
individuals preparing us for one of the most
important things of our lives, our careers,
are not always the mostly highly compensated.

ODU Idol rocks
North Cafeteria
Lisa-Marie Marconi
Mace & Crown
Sponsored by Alpha Xi Delta, Delta Zeta,
Canterbury Episcopal Center, Sigma Phi
Epsilon and Zeta Tau Alpha, the first annual
ODU Idol was held on March 6 in the North
Cafeteria of Webb Center.
The event’s $5 admission fee went to Carpenter’s Kids, a program to support children
in Tanzania who have been orphaned because
of AIDS.
“I think it is amazing that these kids are
promoting this cause,” said Amanda Fulk, the
host of the show.
“Originally the event was supposed to be
‘Faculty Idol,’ but when we sent out notifications to the faculty, they did not respond,” said
the Rev. David LaSalle, from the Canterbury
Center. “Because of this, we decided to make
it a student event with student performers,”
Eight students performed and competed
for the second runner-up, first runner-up and
grand prize winner slots. Each of the three
included prizes ranging from gift cards to
Best Buy and Tropical Smoothie to a chance
to perform at a local venue.
The event began with a lively African
dance performed by two men who were only
identified as William and Joseph from Zaire.
Then, a couple from the Canterbury Center,
who were only referred to as Sam and Tim,
sang a religious duet called “A World Turned
Upside Down.” Sophomore Nathan Ray performed an
original song on acoustic guitar called “April
Story.” The song was about the Virginia Tech
tragedy.
Then, two guitarists named Will and Owen
played “50,000 Miles to Meet My Brain,”
and “Midnight Rider.” Owen played electric
guitar while Will played acoustic guitar and
harmonica.

Boars Nest revamps
open mic night
Steph Riddick
Mace & Crown
Boars Nest is calling all local artists to its
stage: painters, poets and singers alike. The bar
and delicatessen, located at 4502 Monarch Way,
hosts Open Mic Night every Tuesday for area
artists who wish to showcase their talents.
The event’s coordinator, dubbed Bobby
“The Greek” Tsakpinis plans to expand the
weekly event, which is in its second year, to
include a variety of different talents. He hopes
to provide a place where students can enjoy and
support Norfolk’s local talents as well as show off
their own.
“We try to find a place for college students to
express themselves through music and art,” he
said.
The improved event will provide artists of all
talents with a venue equally open to all fine arts.
All interested artists are encouraged to participate.
Time slots to showcase talents must be called
in and reserved in advance. Tsakpinis encourages
performers to make their reservations as early as
possible.
“We can get booked. Some nights we have to
carry artists over to the next week, so we could be
booked for the entire month sometimes,” Tsakpinis said.
Artists can come display their artwork, and
musicians can reserve 15 to 30 minute sets.
Comics are also invited to reserve spots to
perform standup routines. The goal is to include
a more diverse array of talent.
Some nights may even be entirely dedicated
to one or two artists. Painters and sculptors who
reserve time can use the venue as a gallery to
display their artwork.
Open Mic Night gives students an opportunity
to enjoy a laid back atmosphere during their
downtime. There is usually a larger crowd during
the academic year, but the event also runs during
the summer.
“Usually during the school year we have a
good crowd because we have a lot of students in
the area, and a lot of them come to participate and
support each other,” Tsakpinis said. It is intended
for a 21-year-old and up audience and lasts from 8
to 10:30 p.m. After the open mic session, a local
band takes the stage until closing. There is no
cover charge for patrons and no fee for participating artists.
Boars Nest also hosts a party every semester
with raffles and prizes for participating artists.
“We give away painting kits, canvases. Things
like that for the artists who come in and other
little prizes,” Tsakpinis said.
Tsakpinis extended an invitation for all local
musicians, poets and other talents to share what
they love to do.
“If you think you have talent or are working on
something, come show it off,” he said. “Flaunt it,
as they say. Come out and show who you are.”
Other events at the Boars Nest include Country
Night held on Mondays and Ladies’ Night on
Wednesday. There are no cover charges for any
events. Boars Nest is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m.
Artists who wish to participate on Open Mic
Night can call 961-5465 or stop by the Boars Nest
at 4502 Monarch Way to reserve a time slot.

COLLEGELIFE
ODtrU Life:
Meet Michael Lock
Vanesa Vennard
Mace & Crown
Sophomore Michael Lock is a human services major and a
religious studies minor at Old Dominion University. He easily
discovered his career path because of his love for people and
human interaction. He currently attends the Wave Church and
would like to be a Christian counselor.
“It’s my natural inclination to try to help people by talking to
them, so I figured why not make a career out of it,” Lock said.
“I like being a good friend to everyone I meet, and I figured I
could do that on a professional level to some extent.”
Lock is originally from Indiana and moved to Smithfield because of his military father. Lock has two younger
sisters, Miranda, 15, and Megan, 19. Megan has Down syndrome while Lock has cerebral palsy. Lock said his family has
become tighter throughout the years because of Megan and
Lock’s disabilities.
“We’ve gone through a lot of things together,” Lock said.
“Just going through a unique situation and being in the military
as well has made us a more unified family over the years.”
Lock got on the topic of cerebral palsy, saying it’s more difficult to have a disability emotionally and socially rather than
physically.
“It’s a struggle for me to find a sense of belonging within the
lives of people I’m involved with,” Lock said. “I can’t always do
what they can and a lot of times that creates tension and makes
me frustrated. I wish I could do more for and with them.”
Things were harder when he was younger because, as he put
it, “kids are pretty cruel,” but it has gotten easier over the years
as he continues to be open to making new friends; He adopts
everybody as his friend.
“People just really don’t understand how hard it is to try to
make your own place in the world when you have a disability
because you have all these other people around you who are
fine and you’re a black sheep,” Lock said. “You want to be like
everyone else and at the end of the day you know you can’t and
that process was harder when I was younger.”
At ODU, Lock said his professors understand his situation
and he has had the best teachers in the world.
During the start of the spring semester, Lock was mugged
at knifepoint on his way to work while he was on campus.
His watch was the one thing stolen. Lock said his Judaism
professor Lawrence Forman gave Lock his watch right off his
wrist.
“I just thought that was incredible,” Lock said. “He has been
kind of like a mentor to me these past couple of months.”
As Lock continues with his schooling, he also would like
to write a book one day about his experiences. He would like
to write about what he has observed in society pertaining to
people with disabilities.
“People have a preconceived idea of how to treat people with
disabilities like what they should or shouldn’t say or what they
should or shouldn’t do,” Lock said. “Don’t worry about always
trying to assist people with disabilities and just simply worry
about being their friend and supporting them through life.”
Lock continued, “Don’t make assumptions about who they

It’s never too early to start shopping for
spring.
If it’s not warm enough out to wear shorts,
consider putting leggings on underneath, or if
it’s still too cool to go out in a T, try layering
it with a long-sleeved shirt underneath or just
add a thin jacket.
Most of these items you probably already
have in your closet, so it’ll be easier on your
wallet.
This way, you won’t waste money on
Q: Dear Lauren,
I have a fuller shape and I don’t really
wear shorts. What are my alternatives for this
spring that might flatter my curves and still
keep me cool?
--Adrian, junior
A: Adrian,
There are many new styles in for this spring
that you have to choose from. In-Style Magazine features full-skirt dresses in its spring
issues.
Adding a belt at the waist of a shirt dress
or a full-skirt dress helps cinch in the waist
and is flattering to any shape. These two dress
styles are versatile as well as convenient for
the spring because you have the whole outfit
there already.
Just add shoes and accessories, and voila!
Also, on those cool spring days, high-waist
pants are always an alternative. You can
find these stylish pants on celebrities such as
Mischa Barton, Gwen Stefani and Ciara.
Try wearing a more fitting shirt with highwaist pants, this can also help flatter any shape
as well.

are and what they have based on what you see and don’t assume
you know what they have to deal with and what they have to
offer.”
When it comes to being afraid of saying the wrong thing,
Lock said not to worry. Lock said instead of being afraid of
offending someone, people should just say what they want and
see what happens. People tell him he is different than other
people with disabilities because he never gets offended. Lock
said he is open and honest with people.
“I’m out to make an impact on the lives of everyone I know,”
Lock said. “There’s no other reason for me to talk to a person
than to try and change their life.”

Singer Worsham discusses Secret Lives of the Freemasons
Lorraine Dillingham
Mace & Crown
Secret Lives of the Freemasons is currently
on the road touring with Evergreen Terrace
in support of its latest album “Weekend Warriors.”
The Asheville, N.C., natives mix the sounds
of power-pop, rock and “crunk” to form an
overall genuine style and musical appeal.
“Not taking ourselves too seriously and
having a good time only adds to the music,”
said lead vocalist Brein Worsham.
The band came to Virginia Beach on March
18, performing at Club Relevant. A few days
prior to the show, The Mace & Crown talked
with Worsham via telephone:
M&C: How long has Secret Lives been
together?
Worsham: We’ve been playing together for
a little over four and a half years.
M&C: Are there any bands that Secret
Lives is inspired by musically?
Worsham: Well, we all grew up listening to
different music but stuff like Saves the Day,
Lifehouse, Deftones and a lot of hip-hop.
M&C: What is
your favorite song
off “Weekend Warriors?”
Worsham:
Personally, my favorite
songs are “The New

songs really have the
most meaning to me
and are fun to play

M&C: So, what does the band do for fun
while on tour?
Worsham: Well, we drink a lot, and try
to have as much fun as possible. We’ve been
friends for a very long time so we are pretty
ridiculous around each other.
M&C: How is touring with Evergreen
Terrace?
Worsham: Awesome! They are really cool
guys that aren’t pretentious, and they don’t act
like band dudes that are into themselves. They
just like to have a good time.
M&C: Does the band have loyal fans?
Worsham: Yeah, we’ve gained a pretty
loyal fan base, and they definitely go the extra
mile for use sometimes. Hopefully, as we tour
longer and get our name out, our fan base will
grow. That’s generally the idea.

‘Horton’ hears a round
of applause
Joe Turek
Mace & Crown
How refreshing is it to see a movie that is both kid friendly
but also not pandering to the point of nauseating for adults.
In a return trip to Who-ville, Jim Carrey brings the magic
out as Horton the elephant in Dr. Seuss’ “Horton Hears a
Who.”
Carrey, who once played the Grinch, captures the heart of
the film as the voice of Horton. While playing in the jungle,
Horton hears something crying out from a speck that has flown
by. In an instant, Horton takes it upon himself to protect the
voice and vows to keep it safe.
From that point, there is the out-of-this-world layout of
Who-ville on one side and Horton’s quest to keep the speck
that contains Who-ville safe on the other. The characters and
different worlds are imaginative and quite endearing but not
too cute to simply dismiss.
Seuss’ other recent film adaptations missed the point by
trying to create his world in some resemblance of reality
rather than animation. In turn, this made some of the magic
disappear and some of the associated fun. Go with it.
There also are some good values to take here.
The moral lessons of unity, tolerance and simple friendship
should be taken at face value. “Horton” should be enjoyed for
what it is: a simple excursion from the daily grinds of life to
a simpler time, youthful hopes and clean fun. People trying
to decipher hidden meanings in it may be able to find them,
but they are missing the point and that is to simply enjoy it for
what it is.
So in respect to the great Dr. Seuss: Some people will like
this. Some people will like that. Horton’s not one to miss.
Because it’s not “Cat in the Hat.”

Get Up To“Never Back The end is near in
“Doomsday”
Down”
Josh Pothen
Mace & Crown
“Never Back Down” is a surprisingly fun piece of entertainment. Though completely conventional, it is much more
fun than you might initially believe.
Sean Faris stars as Jake, a likeable but bland hero who
moves to a new high school in Florida. He gets drawn into an
underground fight club to defeat his rival Ryan, the popular
fighter champion.
The plot has been told countless times in other movies. All
the teenagers have unlimited funds, live in spacious mansions
and never get into trouble with the law, even though the fights
are held in public places and are uploaded and unedited to
YouTube.
But emotional realism can make any movie work, and
almost every supporting character brings tremendous spice to
his or her role.
Ryan (Cam Gigandet) makes a terrific villain, using even
simple facial twitches with great effectiveness. We fear him
when we first see him, then we like him when we meet him,
only to fear him again later.
Jake’s mother (Leslie Hope) is a fully realized character
who has intelligent reasons for seemingly ridiculous decisions. Djimon Honsou, who was nominated for an Oscar for
his performance in “Blood Diamond,” brings the right amount
of emotional intensity to his performance as Jake’s trainer.
The battles are occasionally fantastic, but they are wellshot and successfully convey the thrill of the sport.
“Never Back Down” has a message about fighting with
control that is refreshing in the wake of violent fare such as
“Rambo.”
The movie is the kind you walk into with dread and leave
with giddiness. To describe its good qualities cannot do the
movie justice. Sometimes you have to see to believe.
[email protected]
Brian Hood
Mace & Crown
What is there to say about “Doomsday?” I mean the movie
is called “Doomsday.”
It’s not the most imaginative title, and it probably took
longer to come up with the title than to to actually write the
script.
The film follows the dreaded Reaper Virus as it ravages
Scotland and the aftermath. The virus is highly contagious
and manifests itself by causing the human body to decompose
as the person is still living.
Faced with this world-threatening disease, the government
decides to quarantine the entire country to let the people, and
the virus, die although the virus’ demise seems to be of greater
importance than any person’s life.
Fast-forward to the year 2035; Scotland is a wasteland and
any remnants of civilization have crumbled. The quarantined
country is disregarded and the world has forgotten about the
mayhem that went on there, until the Reaper Virus makes its
way to the heart of London.
Faced with another outbreak, the Department of Domestic
Security comes in to try to contain it before England suffers
the same fate.
Knowing that there have been survivors of the virus in
Scotland for the past three years, a team is sent in to find
out how they managed to beat the virus, in hopes of saving
London. What they find is beyond their belief: an entire race
of cannibalistic savages.
The movie is cliché of the barren world where survival of
the fittest rules genre, but it’s entertaining nonetheless.
It has everything you would expect, like gunfights and car
chases, but it doesn’t feel overdone or repetitive. They managed
to incorporate a lot of brutality into the scenes without it
becoming commonplace, allowing you to cherish the blood
and guts.
If apocalyptic, lawless films are your thing, then this movie
is worth a look.

Wrestling team takes second at CAA Tournament
Kevin Matthews
Mace & Crown
The Old Dominion University wrestling team delivered a
strong performance at the CAA tournament capturing second
place.
The Monarchs, who finished the regular season ranked
No.19 in the nation, nearly upset No. 12 Hofstra in its bid for
seven straight CAA titles. Despite the second place finish, Old
Dominion wasn’t satisfied.
“It was kind of disappointing,” said Monarchs head coach
Steve Martin. “We wanted to win it. We didn’t want to get
second.”
Martin continued, “But we’re going to beat them next year.
This will be the last year [Hofstra] win it. From here on out,
we’ll be on top.”
In addition to the second place finish, the Monarchs left
Hempstead, N.Y. with three CAA Tournament Individual
Champions and six NCAA qualifiers.
Redshirt freshman James Nicholson won the 125-lb. division
with a 2-1 decision over Hofstra’s Dave Tomasette, the No. 11
ranked wrestler in the nation, to qualify for the NCAAs.
Kyle Hutter qualified by finishing second in the 133-lb.
division, losing a 1-3 sudden victory decision to Hofstra’s Lou
Ruggirello, No. 6 in the nation.
At 141 lbs., Ryan Williams qualified when he won the championship with his 3-2 decision over Hofstra’s Charles Griffin,
who is ranked No. 2 in the nation.
Chris Brown won the 165-lb. championship with a 12-7
decision over Hofstra’s Ryan Patrovich.
At 184 lbs., Jesse Strawn qualified with a second place finish
to the No.12 ranked Doug Umbehauer of Rider University, by
a 3-9 decision.
Heavyweight Andy Totusek won his second match with a
4-2 decision over George Mason University’s Harry Zander
to qualify. David Mendoza, at 197 lbs, was selected as the
alternate.
“Winning the conference championship was my greatest
accomplishment,” said Williams, who was named Most Outstanding Wrestler at the CAA tournament. “[Griffin] was the
best guy I’ve beaten this year and in my career.”
ODU finished the regular season 17-3 overall and 6-1 in
the CAA. Its 17 wins were the second most in school history,
behind only the 1983-84 squad that won 20.
“We knew coming into year-four that this was the year
we were going to start breaking some records,” said Martin.
“At every weight class we either have a Junior National AllAmerican or High School All-American, or NCAA qualifier,
so we knew we were going to set some records.”
The Monarchs three losses came against nationally ranked
opponents in No. 4 Iowa, No. 17 Illinois and No. 12 Hofstra.
Some of the teams highlights this season included an
opening dual win over Michigan State University, wins over
University of Virginia and Kent State University at the Virginia Duals, a 48-0 shutout victory against Delaware State
University and a first-place finish at the Virginia Intercollegiate State Tournament where ODU had six champions and 10
placewinners.
“People in the wrestling world are taking notice,” said
Martin. “It’s the first time we’ve ever been inside the top 20.
People know who we are now.” In addition to being ranked No. 19, ODU has four wrestlers
individually ranked in the top 20 by InterMat. Theses wrestlers include Nicholson, Hutter, Williams and Brown.
ODU will be sending a university-record six wrestlers to
the NCAA Tournament on March 20-22 in St. Louis, Mo. This
will be Williams’ second trip to the tournament as he qualified
two years ago as a freshman.
For everyone else, it will be their first trip to the NCAA
Tournament.
“I’m a lot more confident this time going in,” said Williams.
“The first time I went I was a little nervous. This time I’m
ready to get on the podium and place.”
In preparation for both the CAAs and NCAAs,
ODU changed its training routines. “The last four
weeks of the season, you want to taper everything
down. It needs to be short and explosive. You cut
down on your workouts,” said Martin.
The competition will be intense as 330 wrestlers from 87 different schools compete for the top
eight places on the podium.
“This is the first year we’ve felt good going
into the tournament,” said Martin. “We feel real
good about our shots at getting some people on
the podium.”

All-American athlete:
T.J. Jordan hopes to lead the Lady Monarchs
to tournament success
Stephanie Calway
Mace & Crown
Senior guard T.J. Jordan is known as the “quiet one” off the
court. She enjoys going to movies, bowling and visiting family in
her free time.
For many people, Spring Break meant vacationing down
South or a chance to catch up on some much-needed sleep,
lost during midterms. But for T.J. Jordan and the Lady
Monarch basketball team, Spring Break had a different
meaning– the chance to clinch yet another CAA Conference
title.
“We are all looking forward to winning the CAA again,”
said Jordan, who is regarded as one of the CAA’s best
players.
Last season, she was awarded the CAA’s Most Outstanding Player while ranked fourth in the nation and second
in the CAA.
Jordan’s success continued throughout her senior season,
which will conclude at the end of March. Recently, Jordan
attained the 3-point record for Old Dominion University.
“Breaking the 3-point record was pretty big,” said
Jordan.
However, Jordan described little distinctions between her
accomplishments of this season and previous seasons.
“We’re ranked 11th in the nation now,” said Jordan,
citing the fact that it has been a while since ODU was in the
national spotlight.
The intensity the coaches bring to the court rubs off onto
the players, according to Jordan.
“You play as your own leader,” said Jordan.
Despite her fierce persona on the court, she is a different
person outside the basketball arena.
“I am known as the quiet one off the court,” said Jordan.
“I am a homebody. I like to go to the movies, bowling and
stay at home with my family.”
During busy times, such as the CAA and NCAA Tournaments, the chance to participate in such leisure activities
becomes few and far between. There are other priorities
that come first such as class, three-hour practices, weight
lifting and study hall.
“We try and get our stuff done early,” said Jordan.
Jordan appears to enjoy this lifestyle nonetheless. As an
elementary education major, she said, “Playing basketball
has opened up my horizons to talk to people.”
After graduation, Jordan says she looks towards the
WNBA as a possibility but would also like to do something
with her major.
“I love children,” said Jordan.

Football team hires
equipment manager
Mace & Crown
With the Old Dominion University football season approaching, head coach Bobby Wilder
recently named Jerry Fife equipment manager. The team was “pretty much set,” according to Wilder, but that position had yet to be filled
until earlier this month when Fife was hired on March 6. Fife spent six years as the head equipment manager at the College of William and Mary.
The primary function of an equipment manager is to “service the players on a daily basis
and order everything: player equipment, laundry room equipment and field equipment,” Wilder
said. The qualified candidate needed to be “a problem solver, who reacted well in stressful situations and be a positive person who enjoyed being around student-athletes.”
After a number of candidates were interviewed, the final choice was Fife. For Wilder, Fife’s
prior experience in the CAA and his “excellent reputation amongst his peers” were the determining factors in the decision.
Fife earned a degree in sports education in 2001. His aptitude for the job was displayed by
being named the District II Equipment Manager of the Year in 2007, in which he “was honored
for his commitment and service not only to the Tribe, but also to the profession of athletics
equipment managing,” according to William and Mary Athletics.
The Athletic Equipment Managers Association (AEMA) gives out ten such awards each
year. Fife was awarded this honor among fellow equipment managers from high schools, colleges and professional teams locally and in the surrounding states of West Virginia, Delaware,
Maryland, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.
In addition to the prestigious honor, Fife worked diligently to gain an understanding of the
job.
“I was part of the 2004 national semi-final staff,” said Fife. “I was also able to provide
guidance in the design of the equipment room and locker room of the Jimmye Laycock
Center.”
The Jimmye Laycock Center, which will be fully functional at William and Mary for the
2008 football season, was an impressive task for Fife to tackle. The center is a 30,445 square
foot building whose total estimated cost was $11 million.
Fife knows there are more challenges to come. He said his biggest challenge would be, “the
fact that this is a new program and that ODU has not had football for 69 years.”
What role will Fife play in that? “Just making sure that we have everything we need for
the student athletes, to provide them the best environment to succeed as student athletes at a
Division 1 FCS level,” said Fife.
Fife looks forward to his new role as a Monarch. He is most excited about working with the
team.
“Coach Wilder is a very energetic coach and his staff seems to be a great group to work
with,” said Fife.
Fife also said the administration has put its faith in his abilities and he looks forward to
showing them what he can do.

The Lady Monarch field hockey team is not only receiving recognition on the field but in
the classroom as well. The team recently won the ZAG/National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Division I National Academic Team Award.
The accolades continued as 18 players were named to the ZAG/NFHCA National Academic
Squad, the most of any Division I field hockey program and the largest number of Lady Monarchs named to the squad in Old Dominion University history.
“When I first heard, I was very proud to be a part of the Old Dominion field hockey team,”
said senior back Samantha McLenegan. “I am very proud of my teammates and myself for
our accomplishments.”
McLenegan has made the National Academic Squad each of her four years at ODU, the
eighth Lady Monarch to achieve such a feat. Pride and prioritization are essential to success
in the classroom, McLenegan said.
“Time management is a huge key,” said McLenegan, a graphic design major. “You have to
be able to multi-task and prioritize. I always have a check list with things I need to do.”
ODU beat out numerous prestigious universities including Indiana University and the University of Maine.
“It was a great day when I heard,” said Lady Monarch head coach Beth Anders. “It shows
their commitment to not only being athletes but also [understanding] the importance of an
education. It is not easy to accomplish what these ladies did. It is great.”
Anders emphasizes the importance of excelling in the classroom to her players. She sets a
high GPA as a goal and a bare minimum GPA that no one on the team can fall below.
“For example, we may say our goal is 3.4 as a team and no one under 2.9,” said Anders. “We
talk about it first when we set goals as a team. It is expected that everyone does their best and
pulls their own weight.”
In order to win the ZAG/NFHCA Academic Team Award, a team must have the highest
cumulative GPA. The Lady Monarchs’ winning cumulative GPA was 3.68.
“We try to excel on and off the field hockey field and I think our GPA proves that,” said
McLenegan.
The 18 players named to the National Academic Squad include seniors McLenegan and Jo
Ann van Aswegen, in addition to juniors Kelly Driscoll and Katelyn Smither.
A majority of the players named to the squad were freshman and sophomores.
The sophomores are Titia Beek, Alyschia Conn, Courtney Seiders, Kathleen Shea, Katie
Ueberroth and Hanna Warren.
The freshmen are Amanda Bieber, Paige Clutter, Arianne Evans, Loran Hatch, Stephanie
Kratzer and Samantha Richardson.
Former Lady Monarch Caroline Nichols was also named to the team.
All of the players named to the squad study various subjects ranging from international
business to speech language pathology.
Van Aswegen, Conn, Beek, Seiders and Smither are making their second appearance on
the squad.
“I can’t tell you how proud I am of these players,” said Anders. “I am still smiling.”

Meyers achieves coaching milestone, 100 wins
Mace & Crown
In the seventh game of the 2008 baseball
season, a 12-0 victory over Temple University,
Old Dominion head coach Jerry Meyers hit a
milestone: 100 victories.
Meyers accrued this prestigious number in
four years coaching the Monarchs.
If this is a sign of things to come, then
Meyers is in good company. Ron Atkins, who
led the Richmond Spiders to 100 victories in
three years (1986-1989), won 685 games in his
22 years as the Spiders head coach.
Bill Brown, head coach of George Mason
University, reached 100 wins in four years and
went on to become the third youngest active
coach in the CAA with 600 wins.
Meyers has coached ODU exclusively
and credits the ever-evolving university with
helping in the recruiting process.
“The campus has changed a lot, all for the
better,” said Meyers. “In terms of recruiting,
it has been a great benefit that our university
continues to be a more attractive place to bring
our recruits in to see.”

“We are just trying to get a little bit better

As for goals Meyers has for his players, he
wants to see them mature not just as athletes
but as people as well.
“We try to develop the whole person, not

Meyers has engendered a winning culture

a strong “work ethic, personal responsibility

Diary of a student athlete:
Spring Break leads to big
news for Mosier
Bailey Mosier
Mace & Crown
My senior spring break has come to an end,
and with it I say goodbye to my last annual
college spring break golf trip to Florida.
However, I am extremely enthused about the
events that have unfolded in the past several
days.
First of all, I finally shot below 80 in a collegiate tournament. Yes, unfortunately, it has
taken me four years of college golf to be able
to turn a scorecard in with a squiggly number
on it.
I finished the tournament 13th while fellow
senior and co-captain, Meghan Schaefer, shot
three rounds in the 70s and finished fifth in
the field.
The other three girls on my team struggled
with the golf course and did not play anywhere near their potential. As a team, we finished seventh.
My coach and teammates have been really
supportive of me this semester, and they’ve
taken notice of the time and energy I’ve
devoted over the last 18 months in working
with my swing coach, Dave Williams, and the
hours of chipping and putting I spent at Lamberts Point.
It feels great to contribute to the team,
as I finished tied for first on my team at the
Campbell event we played in February,
and in Florida, I finished second on my
team and helped lead the way with my
fellow co-captain. Coach has always told
me I’m a fine leader for the team, but it’s
nice to finally have scorecards speaking
louder than words.
I am confident that this is only the
beginning of rounds in the 70s. I have four
events left in the spring semester.
While head coach Pat Kotten gave us
the weekend off from practice, it is a pretty
safe bet that all of us will be at Lamberts
Point and other Hampton area courses
honing our skills.
I returned home to Norfolk at 3 a.m.

Who’s the best?
Beasley, Hansbrough compete for
National Player of the Year Award
Alex MacDonald
Mace & Crown
While college basketball’s National Player of
Opinion
the Year Award rarely
sparks the type of heated
debate that surrounds the annual awarding
of college football’s top prize, the Heisman
Trophy, this year’s race is particularly well
suited for a heated back-and-forth.
The two leading candidates for the award,
Tyler Hansbrough and Michael Beasley, offer
completely different storylines calling into
question what exactly “player of the year”
even means.
The two are a perfect basketball yin-andyang. Hansbrough, the clean-cut junior, hails
from perennial powerhouse University of
North Carolina. Beasley, the scowling, upstart
freshman, plays for Kansas State, not even the
most recognizable program in its state.
Hansbrough’s game is predicated on hustle
and hard work, overcoming his physical limitations through solid fundamentals and sheer
effort. Beasley makes the game look easy,
dropping in perimeter jumpers and gliding
gracefully through the lane as if it were merely
an afternoon shoot around.
Nothing comes easily for Hansbrough, the
6-foot-9 center forcing his way to the foul line
through endless gyrations and up-fakes.
By contrast, Beasley plays like a man
among boys, even at his most dominant,
always leaving spectators with the impression
that he could have done more.
At the end of most games, Hansbrough
looks as if he’s ready to die on the court, while
Beasley seems like he’s ready for round two.
Even their teams are at different points
of the competitive spectrum. Hansbrough’s
Tarheels are legitimate contenders, picked
by many to win this year’s national championship.
Beasley’s Wildcats, on the other hand,
aren’t a real threat to cut down the nets this
year, and usually need a superhuman effort
from their superstar freshman just to compete
with the best clubs.
Yet, for all the interesting contrasts and
sub-plots, the choice for player of the year
really isn’t all that difficult.
For all of Hansbrough’s accomplishments,
Beasley has had the better season by almost
every measure. He averaged 26.3 points to
Hansbrough’s 23.1, out-rebounded the Tarheel
12.5 to 10.5 and led the country in doubledoubles despite facing double and triple teams
every night. He had 12 games in which he
scored over 30 points, three games in which
he scored over 40, dominating from the first
game of the season on.
Yet, the most impressive thing about Beasley’s season is that he accomplished all of
this in his first year compiling one of the most
statistically dominant freshman seasons in
college basketball history.
Fair and balanced:
Fans need to support both
women’s and men’s sports
Patrick J. Austin
Mace & Crown
The student section of the Ted during a
men’s basketball game is routinely filled to
capacity. The frenetic atmosphere is palpable
and a clear indicator of the strong support Old
Dominion students can provide to the university’s teams. However, attend any women’s
basketball game and you’ll notice a stark contrast in attendance and support.
The Lady Monarchs usually feature a fan
section that’s half empty, sometimes even
less. The energy from those in attendance
is strong and should be commended, but the
support for such a quality program needs to
drastically improve.
What is the reason for such a disparity
in support between the men’s and women’s
teams? There’s no concrete answer. It cer-
tainly can’t be attributed to the performance
and overall record of both teams. In fact, the
Lady Monarchs are usually atop the Colonial
Athletic Association and consistently produce
in tournament action while the Monarch men’s
team has produced disappointing results both
during the season and in tournaments. This is
not to say they’re bad, but when compared to
the Lady Monarchs, it’s fair to say the women’s
team is superior, at least record wise.
But it’s not statistical performance that
determines the attendance of games. Entertainment is key to drawing a large crowd and
the perception that men’s basketball games
are more entertaining than women’s games
remains prevalent in our society.
For example, the WNBA is considered by
many basketball purists to be closer to the way
the game should be played with an emphasis
on passing and good shooting. However, the
LEFT: nbadraft.net / right: collegesportspro.com
The competition for National Player of the Year Award is fierce between UNC forward Tyler
Hansbrough and Kansas State forward Michael Beasley.
This is without even mentioning that among
the two, Beasley is clearly the better player.
He has all the physical tools that Hansbrough
lacks combining speed, agility and strength in
a way that makes him virtually un-guardable.
His offensive game is nuanced and multifaceted. He is both deadly from 3-point range
and strong in the lane. There’s a reason that
professional scouts are predicting Beasley to
be the first player selected in this summer’s
NBA draft.
This isn’t meant as a slight to Hansbrough, who’s a fine player in his own right.
He’s worked hard and gotten better every year
developing into the top offensive option on a
national title contender. Still, he’ll always be
limited by his lack of size and perimeter game.
Has his team had a better year than Beasley’s?
Absolutely. But the Player of the Year Award
WNBA is nowhere near as popular as the
NBA which, many would argue, has devolved
into a sport predicated on the performance
of a singular superstar rather than all five
players on a team determining the outcome
of a game.
The Lady Monarchs suffer from a similar
problem. The team went on an incredible
19-game win streak this season, routinely
crushing opponents by 20 or 30 points. At the
same time, the Monarchs struggled to find a
rhythm and their record hovered around .500
until improving their play later in the season.
Despite this clear contrast in success, the Monarchs enjoyed raucous crowds at a majority of
their home games.
It’s time for the fans at ODU to recognize
the impressive play of the Lady Monarchs
and provide some reciprocity in support. The
notion that women’s games are less entertaining can be quickly dispelled by actually
attending a Lady Monarchs game. There
drama and tension of men’s games is evident
in women’s games as well.
You’ll have a chance to show your support
on March 23 and 25 when the Ted hosts the
first and second round of the women’s NCAA
Tournament.
[email protected]
is an individual honor, and Beasley’s season
stands head and shoulders above that of any
other player.
This is also not to say that Hansbrough
won’t win the award. He plays for UNC, one
of, if not the most visible college basketball
team in the country. He’s gotten plenty of TV
exposure over the last several years and is a
known commodity to members of the national
media. The voters might even want to award
him for staying in school in an era when so
many talented young players jump to the pros
after just one year.
That said, Beasley deserves the award.
Giving the nod to anyone else would be a joke,
with only Beasley laughing as he skips off to
millions of dollars in the NBA.

Despite an impressive regular season
record, the attendance at Lady Monarch
basketball games is significantly less than
Monarch basketball games.

Last second 3-pointer eliminates Monarchs
Jason Kidd

Megan Morrow / Mace & Crown
Senior guard Brandon Johnson could not out shoot the Tribe
as the Monarchs were eliminated in the first round of the CAA
tournament 63-60.
When entering the Richmond
Coliseum, security frisks each individual that walks through the doors
ensuring everyone’s safety. Even media
are questioned as they enter through
the back door. Unfortunately for the
Monarchs, players and coaches aren’t
searched when entering the coliseum.
As a result, the College of William and
Mary snuck in the building with an
arsenal and out shot Old Dominion 6360 in the Colonial Athletic Association
Tournament.
The victory equaled two firsts for
the Tribe in the CAA Tournament: its
first win against the Monarchs and the
first time it won two games in the tournament.
With the game knotted at 60, the
Tribe (16-15, 10-8 in CAA) got into the
flow of their weaving offense where they
kept the ball on the perimeter. Tribe
point guard David Shneider, who beat
Georgia State with a 3 with 1.5 seconds
left in regulation the day before, was
double-teamed at the top of the key. He
passed to his left finding a wide open
Nathan Mann from 22 feet.
Mann, who entered the game in the
worst shooting slump of his career,
released the ball only to see it spin off
the rim. The spin on the ball caused it
to rim out, hit the backboard and fall
through the net. Just over seven seconds
remained.
“I got a good look,” said Mann, with
the swagger of a New York City ballplayer, far from his roots in Overland
Park, KS. “Bout time I hit a big shot.
We are fortunate it went in, but it feels
great. I’ve been in the worst shooting
slump the last five games, and it was a
nice confidence boost to see the ball go
in.”
“At times, we didn’t play good
enough defense,” said Gerald Lee, after
scoring 20 points and collecting seven
rebounds. “Sometimes the opponent
makes them type of shots.”
The Monarchs passed the ball to half
court and called a time-out. Monarch
coach Blaine Taylor, mentioned by
many as proficient, drew up a play – one
their season hung by threads on.
The Monarchs put the ball in senior
Brandon Johnson’s hands. Johnson blew
by the Tribe’s backcourt and pulled up
from over 30 feet.
As his feet left the air, William and
Mary’s Limus Kisielius came out of
nowhere and contested the shot unexpectedly. Kisielius’s effort caused Johnson’s shot to fall just short, and the rest
is history.
“I thought it was good, but Kisielius
was running at me and I kind of rushed
it a little bit,” Johnson said.
It was a tough pill to swallow considering the Monarchs jumped out to a
9-2 lead, and were playing good team
ball. It appeared that the Tribe was
lethargic coming off a game a day prior.
However, the team was able to gather its
legs and eliminate the Monarchs.
“It’s difficult to drop out of the tournament in a game like that,” Taylor said.
“It’s symblomatic of our whole season.”
