.J-""5^™«fl-A™-Jsi'Aw Jt.*^ Students feel appreciation from Bonner Foundation . Caroline Peterson NEWS WRITER Wayne Meisel, president of the Corella and Bertram F. Bonner Foundation, came to the University on Sunday, Sept. 17, 2005, to speak at First- Year Student Service Day. He left the faculty, student staff, and first year students with an interesting challenge: work to improve the already impressive service infrastructure of the University and there could be a substantial reward- an endowment to the university as a resource to continue expanding the service culture. University'students know that the university has a strong commitment to service. Nearly every day, there is a table outside the Carlton Student Union or an event to raise money or awareness for a group in need. Student organized service programs, such as Greenfeather, Into The Streets (ITS), and CAUSE (Campaign for Adolescent and University Student Empowerment), manage events throughout the school year which benefit countless local, national, and even international charities. Six students (Jessica Walton, Darius McPhall, Casey Wagner, Danielle Prior, Jennifer Beebe, and Jessily Ramirez), already receive scholarships to work 20-hours every week on the youth empowerment program. These scholarships, allow.these.students.time to devote their energy to helping the, DeLand community and surrounding neighborhoods as a kind of work-study job carrying on the University's ongoing tradition of service. "I am glad that I am in the position to be able to give as much time to the community as I would like. Without the CAUSE scholarship I would have to have a job" said Jennifer Beebe, a junior finance and accounting major. The Corella and Bertram F. Bonner Foundation also provide service-based scholarships to college students who dedicate themselves to community involvement. Their mission statement sums up their goals: "Through sustained partnerships with colleges and congregations, the Corella and Bertram F. Bonner Foundation seeks to improve the lives of individuals and communities by helping meet the basic needs of nutrition and educational opportunity." There are different Bonner Foundation programs, and the University already participates in the Bonner Scholars program and the Bonner Leaders program. Bonner Scholars are students to whom the Bonner Foundation provides four-year community service scholarships. The recipients of the 2005-06 Bonner Scholars Scholarship awards are Ariel Blue, Jessica Ciancitto, Mathias Haugner, Micaela See BONNER, 2A JOSH ZIMMERN / THE REPORTER One can't help but notice the twenty-two foot high stone structure and eleven roughcast bells looking abandoned on the oak shaded grass.

STORY PAGE 3A SeanBarth news, writer The Less Than Jake show which took place on Sept. 17 in the Hollis Center brought in 1,100 people, and 5,500 dollars in profit, making it the most successful show ever put on by CSA. However, there has been talk around the University campus concerning the security that was present compared to years past, particularly last year's Busta Rhymes concert. Two injuries sustained at the show by two University students did not help. Kassie Fraser, sophomore international business major, and Kyle Schmitt, first- year biochemistry major, both received injuries to their body. Fraser broke a tooth while Kyle Schmitt injured his ankle and nose. But as several students and faculty members involved with the show have said, the difference in security was not necessarily the cause of the injuries. "[Less Than Jake] is an energetic show, and [security] did a great job of letting people have a good time but also addressing any aggressive behavior. Accidents can and do happen, but-overall a great time was had at a great show," Rosalie Carpenter, associate director of Student Activities, said. Kennedy Legler, a sophomore communication studies major and main coordinator for the concert, also seemed to share the same feelings, "Busta Rhymes and Less Than Jake are two different genres, and bring in two different crowds. We prepared for the worst and we did well," said Legler. The most notable difference between the securities at the two shows was the presence of metal detectors as well as DeLand Police Officers present at Busta Rhymes, neither of which were seen at Less Than Jake. The University owns the two metal detectors, which were used at past shows, which were given to the University by the Volusia County Sheriffs Department from the original courthouse downtown. In order to use the metal detectors trained police officers are to operate them, which was why there was four police officers at the Bust Rhymes show. During the show both of the metal detectors were malfunctioning. When asked about the metal detectors Carpenter said, "We tried to repair them to no avail, so the decision was made not to use them again. The prior two uses did not lead to any items being confiscated, so we felt comfortable with that decision." The University did not request the DeLand Police Department to be present because of no metal detectors. Inside the venue there was no difference between the security at Busta Rhymes and at Less Than Jake. Both concerts saw eight CSA volunteers standing directly in front of the" stage, as" well as two volunteers on either side of the stage. There were also two public safety officers present inside the venue at all times. Kyle Schmitt was one of the CSA volunteers working security in front of the stage. He sustained his injuries when he took an awkward step off of one of the barricades he was standing on. He was immediately removed from the area and taken to the hospital by a public safety officer. "It was not a result of anything done by the audience," said Legler. Kassie Fraser was dancing with some friends when she was injured as Katie Bobinno, a sophomore business major explains it, "We were just dancing around in a circle and some kids starting moshing around us and someone pushed her and she tripped and fell into my head pretty much, I had a huge welt. Her tooth pushed back and broke the bone and now she has to get a root canal." Legler and Carpenter both noted that there were "No Moshing" signs posted around the venue saying, "No moshing, nb crowdsurfing, violators will be ejected." There was one person in attendance that was ejected. When asked how she felt about the physical nature of the Less Than Jake show, Dean of Students Michelle Espinosa replied, "Accidents happen.

It was such a concept of community that was among the first ideas explored during the Sept. 27 Honor System Forum. The forum was led by sophomore Will Stoetzer of the SGA, and Trevour Whitley, a senior and the president of the Honor Council. The forum bounced from topic to topic, as See HONOR, 2A Rock Against Cancer an official university day Caroline Jones design consultant "Donate all your money to cancer research... then some to us," said the lead vocalist of Untimely Death of... at the start of Sigma Phi Epsilon's Rock Against Cancer on Saturday, Oct. 1, located at the front of the Carlton Union Building. This is the fifth year of Rock Against Cancer, but this year, the University has made it an official university proclaimed day. Last year, Sigma Phi Epsilon raised $2,065, and put in 1,200 hours of service. They predict to raise $2,000 again. Not only was there music, but the fraternity members grilled hot dogs and hamburgers for donations; all proceeds go to the American Cancer Society. The sisters of Delta Delta Delta sold "Chili for Children," and the sisters of Pi Beta Phi sold ice cream for their philanthropy. "We always let other organizations participate," said Davidson Hobson, sophomore finance major, and this year's chairman coordinating the event. The concert consisted of five bands, starting off with Untimely Death of..., followed by Wilderness of Tekoa, Johnny Bullford, Perry and Dave, a cover band that can be seen playing at Brickhouse, and finally DISH. Students weren't the only ones to come to the front of the CUB, as members of the DeLand Community made their way to the concert. "We're open to the community," said Hobson, "I talked to one woman this morning on the phone, saying that she was going to bring her family." "The guys now have done a very good job," said alumni, Matt Smith, a cancer survivor himself, and is now attending medical school. Smith was one of the many Sigma Phi Epsilon members that founded the event in 2000. "[They're] very organized, and get the whole fraternity involved," and with a smile on his face, Smith said, "We use to do it in the pit."
