Are we ready for some
FOOTBALL? Not yet ...
By AIIison GagIiardi
EditorinChief
During the Board of
Trustees meeting Tuesday,
President Wilson Bradshaw
shared the
n u m b e r s
and facts
presented in
the football
f e a s i b i l i t y
s t u d y
that was
completed
Nov. 30
by Carr
S p o r t s
Associates Inc.
The plan outlines what
needs to be done for an
FGCU football team to be
competitive at the NCAA
Division I level.
I have decided that at
this time we will not move
forward with football,
Bradshaw said.
To implement football at
the university would require
recruiting coaches, meeting
conference guidelines,
adding womens sports to
remain in compliance with
the Title IX, acquiring land,
and building a stadium and
facilities.
We need to provide
additional resources to be
competitive, Bradshaw
said.
Seventy-eight percent
of the athletics department
is funded though student
athletic fees, which are one
of the highest in the state at
$11.79 per credit hour.
We cannot add
more dollars to that fee,
Bradshaw said.

For three weeks, Cathryn
Hillegass has been trying to
break the silence on gender
identity at FGCU.
Its such a silent
issue, said the junior,
whos majoring in criminal
forensics. I want to spread
the word and educate the
university community.
Gender identity is dened
as a personal conception of
oneself as male or female (or
sometimes, both or neither),
according to emedicine.
medscape.com.
Its the way they behave,
their characteristics and the
way they dress, Hillegass
said. Its not about who
youre attracted to, but who
you are as a person.
Hillegass said gender
identity is often confused
with sexual orientation.
If a man identies
himself as a female, he can
still be attracted to women,
Hillegass said. It depends
on the person.
Hillegass says shes met
ve students struggling
with gender identity this
semester. And she wants
them to be heard.
I want them to come out
of the shadows, Hillegass
said. I dont want them
to be afraid to walk to
class or (to) approach the
administration.
Hillegass says the
university community has
been trying and is willing to
accept gender identity.
Susan Evans, university
spokeswoman and chief of
staff, says the university will
not tolerate any harassment
of students, faculty, staff,
vendors and campus visitors.
Anyone who feels
he or she is the victim
of harassment should
immediately report it so that
the university is aware of the
situation and can swiftly act
to investigate and address
the complaint, Evans said.
The penalties for
complaints that result in
ndings of harassment are
serious, according to Evans.
The code provides for a
range of disciplinary actions
from reprimand all the way
to expulsion from FGCU,
Evans said.
Hillegass plans to meet in
May with Dr. Mike Rollo, vice
president of student affairs,
to present her petition
to get gender identity in
FGCUs anti-discipline and
harassment policies.
Hillegass currently
has 200 signatures on her
petition and hopes to get
500 or more before her
appointment with Rollo.
Ill be your voice,
Hillegass tells those
struggling with gender
identity. I dont care what
people say about me.
Evans also urges those
in the shadows to come
forward.
The policies and
procedures already in place
at the university are the
appropriate vehicles for
reporting, investigation and
discipline where there are
ndings of harassment, and
this includes for harassment
based on gender identity,
Evans said. The most
important thing I can
emphasize is that anyone
who feels harassed must
report it so the university
can address it.
Students should
immediately report any
harassment to the dean
of students, Michele
Yovanovich, at myovanov@
fgcu.edu or 239-590-7705.

GENDER IDENTITY
... But here comes the journaIism major
By EagIe News staff
The Board of Trustees
approved the long-awaited
journalism major at FGCU
on Tuesday.
The B.A. Journalism
degree program emphasizes
clear writing, factual
accuracy, critical thinking,
ethical and legal principles,
social consciousness,
technological skill, and
practical, hands-on reporting
and editing experience,
reads the executive
summary.
There will be no
concentrations, tracks or
specializations within the
program. Students will be
required to complete 120
hours.
The rst 60 hours
entail general education
and common prerequisite
requirements in accordance
with state and university
guidelines.
The last 60 hours
consist of nine hours of
interdisciplinary courses,
30 hours of core coursework
in the major, six hours
of electives in the major,
three hours of University
Colloquium and sufcient
electives to total 120 hours,
according to the executive
summary.
Assistant professor
Lyn Millner, who became
the ofcial journalism
project leader in 2007, told
Eagle News in a recent
interview, We want to
create something completely
realistic based on what
employers actually need.
Students will learn skills
they can use in a variety of
different careers.
Audio and Visual
Journalism is one of the
classes that has been added
for the fall.
Millner celebrated the
boards decision with several
students.
It was a happy time.
Millner said. At our happiest
moments we are at a loss of
words.
Alex Pena, a senior
communication major with a
journalism minor, celebrated
with Millner.
We have done so much
without a journalism
program, so I cant imagine
what students will do
now that there nally is a
journalism program, Pena
said.
Its not just me. The
students made this happen,
Millner said.
But her students
disagree.
We will soon be one of
the best programs in the
nation. With Professor
Millner working with us,
nothing is beyond our reach,
said Allison Gagliardi, editor-
in-chief of Eagle News.
With Lyn Millner its
going to skyrocket, Pena
said.
If students are interested
in declaring journalism as
their major, they can contact
the appropriate advising
ofce.

Imagine learning Spanish, French, or
Russian without textbooks and ashcards.
Imagine taking the act of learning a
language outside the classroom.
In April 2011, 25-year-old Jamie
Sprenger founded Bilingual Chat, a social
network that allows foreign language
students to do just that.
The website allows people around the
globe to practice speaking to each other in
foreign languages. While students studying
a language can learn the introductory level
to it, Bilingual Chat would allow them to
connect with native speakers and get a feel
for colloquial terms and phrases.
The only way youre going to learn
another language is by being immersed
in it, said Kyle Matera, a senior and
psychology major.
While immersing oneself in a foreign
country is the best way to learn a language,
not everyone has access to such time and
money, so the site serves as an alternative
way to interact with a different culture.
I would use it, said secondary math
education major and junior, Laura Binetti.
It would be good to use because people
who dont know English would benet from
it too, and everyone would get a better
understanding (for other cultures).
Instead of memorizing vocabulary
words and performing tedious translations
and verb conjugations, members of
Bilingual Chat allows members to connect
with people in the country of their choice
who want to practice his or her English in
exchange for helping that member with his
or her chosen language. Creating a prole
is free and after that, members only need
to search and add people Facebook-style.
Members can email, enter group chat
rooms, send instant messages and initiate
video/voice chats. They can brush up on
their reading skills by browsing other
members blogs, write on discussion
boards, play games and read jokes and
quotes. Additionally, students can still
make friends from around the world, help
others with their English, learn about
foreign countries and get some valuable
travel advice.
Bilingual Chat promotes global
communication, facilitates cultural
understanding, crosses virtual borders and
breaks language barriers, said founder,
Jamie Sprenger. Use of the website will
advance your language prociency in the
comfort of your own home and on your
own schedule.

By Megan HooIihan
News editor
Jessica Mendes, a graduate
student working toward a
degree in Public Administration,
has been named the 2011
Graduate Student of the Year.
Mendes was encouraged by her
colleagues, friends and family to
submit a portfolio for the award. She
says that without their support, she
probably would not have applied and
therefore was pleasantly surprised
and honored by the recognition.
Mendes is President of the
Environmental and Peace Education
Center, a grassroots organization
centered here in Southwest Florida.
She feels that it was her research on
electronic waste that classied her
as a stand-out student.
A lot of students do research
projects, but this one became
deeper. It addressed many levels
of electronic waste recycling
including systemic issues from
policy and law issues, social justice,
environmental issues, and ethics.
The framework was well thought-
out and breaks down into three
categories, which I think sets it
apart from most research projects,
Mendes said.
The three categories of Mendes
project are research, education
and action. Her research category
included a campus-wide survey
involving over 400 respondents
that evaluated the attitudes about
consumption and habits of e-waste
recycling. It also involved following
the downstream cycle of e-waste
from FGCU and visiting e-waste
facilitates in Southwest Florida.
For the education portion,
Mendes used the information that
she organized and sat on the panel
at the Terry Tempest Williams
Student Dialogue on e-waste in
November. She also participated
in tabling sessions around campus
highlighting the problem of e-waste
and appeared on the NPR show
Gulf Coast Live! to discuss e-waste
issues.
Mendes is now focusing on
continuing the action portion of her
experiment.
So often we collect information
and nothing is done with it, which
is why the action component was
so important to me. I presented
an SGA Resolution on e-waste
(which was passed 27-0), set up
e-waste collection bins at campus
housing, and I am trying to expand
our e-waste policy here at FGCU,
Mendes said.
To support the cause of reducing
e-waste, students can drop off their
unwanted electronic equipment
to the collection bins located in
Biscayne Hall and Eagles Landing
between April 19 and May 9.
In addition to her passionate
dedication to addressing the issue of
e-waste, Mendes loves animals and
traveling. She has traveled to exotic
locations all over the world, including
Morocco, Fiji, New Zealand, and
Europe. She has also been classically
trained in ballet since the age of four.
Mendes says that she is open
to the possibilities of the future and
where she will go after FGCU.
I am unsure what kind of
opportunities will arise, and I
can only hope I am prepared for
them. I would like to be working in
either government or non-prot
organizations in Southwest Florida,
she said.
Her advice to other FGCU
students is to take initiative in
making the most of their experience
at this university.
You have a great opportunity
and responsibility to be part of this
growing environmental institution.
Talk with your professors and
mentors, try out your ideasit is a
great place to challenge the status
quo. This is your university, make it
the kind of school you want it to be,
she said.
Mendes will be formally honored
along with the 2011 Undergraduate
Student of the Year at the
Celebration of Excellence ceremony
being held on April 21 at 3 P.M. in the
Alico Arena.
Intensive ewaste research, action pay off
Jessica Mendes didn't stop her research project with just research.
She is hoping to heIp FGCU expand its current ewaste poIicy.

FGCU printers fall short on environmental goals
By Veronica VeIa
Senior staff writer
FGCU is constantly pressing
the need to be aware about the
environmental impact students
make on campus and in the
community. There is a solar
field by the main entrance of
the school and on a daily basis
students can see administrators
driving around in electric golf
carts. But what about one of the
most important elements of being
more eco-friendly: saving paper?
Currently, FGCUs on-campus
printers only print on one side.
Kate Pozeznik, a senior majoring
in English and minoring in
education, wants to change the
way FGCU students, staff and
faculty print their documents
and implement duplex, or double-
sided, printing.
This started when Pozeznik
was on campus and trying to
print an article one day. Since
she usually prints her documents
on both sides at home, it baffled
her as to how difficult it was to
duplex print while on campus.
After asking the lab technician,
she learned that she would have
to print on the odd pages only,
flip the sheets then return the
paper to the tray and print the
even pages.
I am willing to engage in
document acrobatics in the name
of environmental sustainability,
but I figured that most time-
constrained college students may
not be, Pozeznik said.
To help combat the amount
of paper that students use,
Pozeznik has started a petition to
implement double-sided printing
on campus. If her petition
passes, printers on campus will
automatically print students
documents on both sides of the
page, unless told to do otherwise.
To help make her goal a
reality, Pozeznik researched and
enlisted the help of Chuck Bryan,
the Senior Computer Support
Specialist. After speaking with
Bryan, she found out methods
in which the computer lab is
already green. The lab uses 100
percent recycled paper and she
was told that there were already
plans in place to make two duplex
printers available.
Chuck Bryan has been an
excellent source of information,
ideas, and support! Working with
Chuck is a wonderful example of
how solidarity between faculty
and students can initiate positive
changes regarding university
practices Pozeznik said.
And to those that may
disagree with the idea of duplex
printing, Pozeznik reminds that
it will not only save trees, but
money, in the future.
Since default duplex printing
in campus computer labs could
reduce our paper consumption
by up to 50 percent, it has the
potential to save a great deal of
money in the long run, she said.
To sign the petition to help
make duplex printing available,
students can go to http://www.
gopetition.com/petition/44389.

at kbpozezn@eagle.fgcu.edu.

Hard work earns
prestigious award
By Veronica VeIa
Staff writer
The Honors Program, the
Haitian Student Organization
and Model U.N. are just some of
the organizations that this years
Undergraduate Student of the
Year, Leslie Puzo, is involved in.
Finding out that she was picked
caused her to shout with joy.
Literally.
I actually was on a date and
my friend Glen knew I applied
and he called me. I screamed in
the middle of Calistoga. My date
was confused, but I was very
excited, Puzo said.
To get the award wasnt
easy though. This senior
majoring in political science
had to be nominated, accept
her nomination and put
together a portfolio of how
she demonstrated service,
leadership, and scholarship. The
portfolio then had to be reviewed
by a selection committee, which
included members of the Ofce
of Student Affairs and the Dean
of Students.
Putting together a portfolio
of your entire four years isnt
easy. The Student Support
Services ofce allowed me
to print my portfolio and
encouraged me. Theyve helped
me throughout the years and up
to the last minute, Puzo said.
Two professors in particular
were also fundamental in
helping Puzo achieve this
accomplishment.
Dr. (Richard) Coughlin and
Dr. (Nicola) Foote wrote letters of
recommendation for me. Theyre
very difcult professors but you
learn the most (from them),
Puzo said.
Besides taking difcult
classes and professors as a way
for students to get the most out
of their education, Puzo also
suggests getting involved and
being knowledgeable about
FGCU and all it has to offer.
Work hard, care and get
involved. If the opportunities
are available to you, invest in the
school because it will invest in
you, she said.
Getting this title is just the
beginning for Puzo. In ve years
she hopes to have a law degree,
live in New York or Washington,
D.C. and work for the United
Nations.

Student Betzaida Torres knew
how to brighten other peoples
lives.
She always had a smile on
her face, and she would do almost
anything to get a laugh out of
someone, Kimberly Strichard,
one of Torress close friends,
said.
Torres died on March 14 in
Sunrise, Fla. Torres, who was
known by most as Betsy, was a
19 year-old freshman who was
majoring in criminal justice.
She graduated from Piper
High School in Sunrise last year.
Friends say that Torres was
a born athlete who enjoyed
team sports such as soccer and
softball. She was also known as
highly motivated and as having
a strong sense of school spirit.
Betsy was always the one
to get pumped for each game,
showing off her school pride and
colors. Even if the team came out
defeated, she still held her head
up high. She was very dedicated
to everything she set her mind
to, Strichard said.
Strichard met Torres three
years ago when Torres began
working at the movie theatre
where Strichard was manager.
She was not only my best
friend, she was my star employee.
We saw each other every day,
inside and outside of work. The
only reason why I stayed at my
job was because Betsy was there,
no matter how much I hated
working there, Strichard said.
Strichard also says Torres
was extremely passionate about
music and often saw her listening
to her iPod throughout the day.
She always had an iPod
attached to her hand. On the
rare occasion when she wasnt
surrounded by her friends,
she was always jamming out
to the newest music, singing at
the top of her lungs, skipping
and dancing, and just having a
good time. Just watching her
enjoy herself could put a smile
on your face, Strichard said.
Strichard remembers Torres
as a very uplifting person who
could brighten someones
spirits simply through
her presence or her smile.
She was also a uniquely
reliable friend, and Strichard
says that this is why the two
remained close after Torres
moved to FGCU last fall.
Once she went to FGCU, every
weekend we would drive back
and forth to visit each other. We
still remained a big parts of each
others lives, Strichard said.
She would travel for hours
to come sit by your side and
give you a shoulder to cry on,
or just be there to listen when
you had a problem. She was
a very dependable friend.
Strichard says that Torres
affected many people with
her spirited personality
throughout her life.
The thing that made Betsy
so unique was her spiritShe
had such a warm heart, and she
touched so many lives, Strichard
said.

I first met you waiting at Target for the GCTC
shuttle to head back to North Lake. We had a
conversation and I thought that you were really
nice, cute, and you kept making me smile, which
isnt easy to do. I figured Id never see you
again. This morning, I was at the Family Re-
source Center and as I was leaving you came in
for your shift since you work there. When I re-
alized it was you my heart literally skipped a
beat. Im not sure you remember me, but if you
do, Id love to get to know you.

FGCU celebrated its students
community involvements with the
Community Engagement Day on
Friday, April 15. The event, which
was hosted by the Ofce of Service-
Learning and Civic Engagement,
was the largest showcase of student
service-learning projects with
over 200 students presenting their
achievements.
There were three $100 award
categories: RSO Service-Learning
Project, Service-Learning Course
Project and Non-Course Based
Service-Learning Project. The
prize money will be donated to the
community agency of the winners
choice.
The winner of the RSO Service-
Learning Project was the Southwest
Florida Cities of Refuge Project,
which is dedicated to creating a
safe haven for writers living under
the threat of death, imprisonment
or persecution, according to
Alexandra Fisher, the service team
leader.
The group consists of Fisher,
Chealsye Bowley (President),
Lauren Barth (Secretary), Jonathan
Lagace (Treasurer), Alexandria
Newsome (co-service team leader),
Sarah Burt (Videographer) and at
least 10 other members.
The group hosted FGCUs
Banned Books Week last fall,
featuring HBO Def Poets Idris
Goodwin and Kevin Coval in an
evening of Uncensored: Breakbeat
Poetica, and created an ofcial
website for the organization this
spring.
They are planning on celebrating
Banned Books Week again Sept. 24
through Oct. 1. For more information
on how to get involved, contact
citiesofrefuge@eagle.fgcu.edu.
The winner of the Non-Course
Based Service-Learning Project was
the SG Alternative Spring Break
trip to Washington D.C. The event
is designed to encourage life-long
active citizenship and leadership
through service, according to SG
Director of Civic Engagement,
Marco Quiroga.
Our biggest accomplishment
this year was probably the
expansion of our Alternative Break
program, which we are looking
at further expanding to include
more locations maybe even
internationally as well, Quiroga
said.
Although Quiroga is the main
organizer of the event, he says he
could not have planned it without
the help of SG Executive Secretary
Stacy Hopkins, VP of Student
Affairs Julie Gleason, senior RN
Cheryl Reardon and the site leaders
who help Quiroga lead the trip.
We pride ourselves by having
student-lead alternative breaks,
focusing on peer-to-peer education,
Quiroga said.
Quiroga and his SG team are
already in the midst of setting up the
calendar of events for next semester.
He encourages any students
interested in getting involved or who
just have questions and suggestions
to email him at sgengage@fgcu.edu.
There is always room for more
passionate students! Quiroga said.
There was a tie for the Course-
Based Service Learning Winner:
DHC Engineering and Shy Wolf
Solutions each claimed a $100
award.
DHC Engineering is comprised
of only three students: Dustin
Chisum, Kevin Daugherty and
Brett Hartzell. The three wanted to
engineer a solution to help alleviate
the problem of water-borne debris.
Our biggest accomplishment
was developing our Maritime
Recyclable and Refuse Receptacle
that we are planning on bringing to
market. It will be the only product
available in the boating industry that
encourages recycling and proper
storage of items, thus keeping them
out of our waterways, Chisum said.
Although the group doesnt have
any future plans at the moment,
Chisum suggests contacting
and volunteering with Ocean
Conservancy and their International
Coastal Cleanup program for those
whod like to help alleviate this issue.
Working with this organization
is an excellent way to fully
understand the magnitude of the
problem of trash in our waterways,
Chisum said.
Shy Wolf Solutions is comprised
of Douglas Brauer, Joseph DeBono,
Stephen Shell, Bobbie Gann,
and Felipe Santillan. For their
engineering service-learning
project, they decided to develop a
consultation and construction rm.
Our client was Shy Wolf
Sanctuary they just acquired
(more than) 20 acres for the new
site, so we went through and
surveyed their new property,
DeBono said.
The group also developed a
survey for their client that outlined
their needs and expectations so
the group could then carry out the
project for them, from outsourcing
to basic construction needs.
Its all an idea. Its still in the
works, said DeBono, whos not
sure where the idea will go in the
future due to time and nancial
constraints.
However, the group is thankful
for their award and considers it
their biggest accomplishment thus
far.
There were also three $50
additional awards. The Most
Engaged award was given to the
Storm Resistant Cage Designs
group, which consisted of Richard
Brown, Christian Bokrand, James
Ross and Leah Teeter.
The High Impact award was
given to the 4H St. Matthews House
Times group, which consisted of
Caity Kauffman, David Grunninger,
Jon Morhaim, Megan Hoolihan and
Chyanne Robbins.
Last but not least, the Peoples
Choice Award was given to the
Collaborative Arts Experiment,
which was organized by Katelyn
Gravel.

African exhoops pIayer wins in Iife
By Josh SiegeI
Sports editor
The game kept him alive.
It is 2001 and Mario Nappi
watches as Roman Narmbaye, a 610,
240-pound high schooler, effortlessly
icks skip passes from the post,
swishing 15-foot jump shots.
A 17-year-old Narmbaye left Chad
for Nigeria, a developed country that
offered opportunity, to play for the
Ebun Comets.
Nappi, one of Narmbayes older
brothers best friends who played for
Ivory Coast at the time, saw what
everybody else saw but what no one
else could do anything abouta raw
talent who could be transformed
into the next Dikembe Mutombo, a
former NBA star. He couldnt keep
the giant a secret, so he called his
cousin, Bernard Chula, a basketball
intermediary of sorts based in
Indianapolis who made a career
out of funneling foreign talent to
America.
Chula talked with coaches he
knew in the U.S and got the kid who
had no hope a way out.
Today, a 27-year-old Narmbaye
attends graduate school at Florida
Gulf Coast, studying criminal forensic
behavior.
From 2005-08, Narmbaye played
center for the FGCU basketball team.
His imposing frame, bloodshot
eyes and worn face show the terror
from his childhoodthe weeks
without food or electricity, the imsy
houses made out of clay and lled
with dirt, the deaths brought on
from the Muslim-Christian War and
malaria.
Affectionate and gentle,
Narmbaye would rather calmly
settle an argument than destroy
smaller foes on a basketball court, a
peacefulness born from pain.
Ndoloum Charles, Narmbayes
childhood playmate and neighbor,
always talked with his friend about
coming to America in between games
of HORSE.
They whispered when they
discussed it, afraid to incite jealous
peers who didnt have the same
avenue to make it out.
His size and skill made it easier
for him (for Narmbaye to leave Chad
for the U.S.), said Charles, who
now studies at Newberry College in
South Carolina. But his drive to do
whatever it takes to make it and not
go back is what got him here. That,
and he has an ability to get along with
people and connect. Hes a gentle
giant.
You cant succeed in Chad,
Narmbaye told himself, remembering
the times hed have to walk ve to six
minutes, barefoot, to a public fountain
so he could pay two cents for a bucket
of drinking water.

Multi-platinum selling band Train
is coming to Fort Myers for a concert
on May 2.
Train has topped the charts with
some of our favorite songs to sing
along to such as Drops of Jupiter
and Meet Virginia. Train formed in
1994 in San Francisco and has been
charming us with their pop/alternative
rock sound since.
Save Me, San Francisco their
fifth album-and most recent-was
released in the fall of 2009 with hit
songs such as Hey, Soul Sister and
Marry Me. Save Me, San Francisco
was re-released in late 2010 as the

New versions of the same songs
and never-before-heard songs were
the main feature of the latest album.
Trains latest thoughtful contest
they are putting on is for active U.S.

or deployed away from their loved
ones to enter their proposal for their
significant other into the contest.
Trains winning favorite proposal
will be played via a video screen at one

Senior staff writer
Lee Ferrante is a senior psychology
major, plans to go to grad school and
eventually get certified as both a clinical
and experimental psychologist. Hes
also a self-taught, song-writing, guitar-
strumming acoustic-pop-rocker.
As an active member of the FGCU
Newman Club, a student-run Catholic
organization, Ferrante lets his faith
influence his music. Ferrante led the
Newman Club band this past year.
I feel God actually gave me the gift and
so I also see it as a way to share my faith,
said Ferrante. I have some songs that, if
people were to ask me about them, I could
tell them that God really inspired me to
write them.
As for his musical inspirations,
Ferrante said that early Jonesetta and
Sherwood top his list.
My favorite band is Blindside, said
Ferrante. I wish I could write more like
them.
Ferrante has recently performed
at the To Write Love on Eagles Wings
Acoustic Night event, where he had his
first experience in a green room, which
is basically an on-deck practice room for
performing musicians. The green room,
Ferrante said, helped him battle his stage
fright.
That really helped a lot with the
nerves, Ferrante said.I feel like you can
go in there, just relax, play a little stuff and
warm up.
Although music and performing is a
passion of Ferrantes, he said that it is
more of a hobby than a career choice.
Im in college to learn, Ferrante said.
If it takes off I could possibly [make it a
career] but right now Im just having fun
with it.
Being a psychology major, Ferrante
recognizes the connection between music
and psychology.
When you think about it, writing
about emotions or writing about feelings
is a way of exploring the human psyche,
Ferrante said.
The future psychologist started
playing the guitar when his father tried
to teach him when he was 7 years old, but
his passion for music didnt develop right
away.
I didnt have the patience, Ferrante
said. But then I started getting interested
In guitars; and I begged and begged and I
got a guitar for my eleventh birthday.
Although his love for music grew as he
did, Ferrante didnt experience any kind
of classic musical training and cant fully
read music hes basically self-taught.
I took one or two lessons but it wasnt
really clicking, Ferrante said. So I
started teaching myself out of my dads old
chord book.
Ferrante first learned basic chords,
then looked up his favorite songs online
and played mostly by ear.
The first song I ever learned was
The Sound of Silence by Simon and
Garfunkle, said Ferrante. That was
pretty easy to play.
Ferrante plays some of his favorite
music but also writes his original songs.
I write about all types of experiences,
you know, the common stuff, Ferrante
said. The girls, the troubles, but also the
good things, like God and the good times in
life.
Along with the To Write Love on
Eagles Wings event, Ferrante has played
at other open mic nights. Ferrantes
friends recently made him a fan page on
Facebook, where videos and news about
his performances can be found.
He also has a YouTube account
(singtothenight) and a Pure Volume
account (LeeFerrante.)

WLV gains
more beds
The Board of Trustees approved
FGCU to purchase the vacant land
next to West Lake Village.
According to Joe Shepard,
vice president of nance, FGCU
is planning to accommodate 1,100
to 1,500 beds on the property for
student housing.
Our plans with it are to look at
building a similar type of product
West Lake Village has, primarily for
juniors and seniors, Shepard said.
The property will offer students
a 12 month leases. This is different
from North Lake Village, which
offers leases on a semester basis.
At this moment in time, FGCU
is anticipating to start construction
in fall 2013, but that has yet to be
nalized.
FGCU purchased the property
for a total of $8 million. The original
price was set at $12 million. We
look at it as a strategic purchase,
Shepard said.
Can't seII

As textbook buyback period
approaches, students need not
worry about receiving emails about
selling or buying textbooks
anymore.
Its a violation of the universitys
acceptable use policy to use FGCUs
resources for personal prot,
according to FGCU Networking
Services.
This means you cannot sell your
textbooks by emailing CRNs and
you cannot advertise the business
you own or work for.
Those found in violation of this
policy will have their accounts
closed and will be referred to the
Ofce of the Dean of Students before
their full privileges of network use
are restored, according to FGCU
Networking Services.

FGCU grad student overcomes more than most
There were no sinks in his room.
No water. No food.
Narmbaye, dizzy from not eating
in a week, gave the bucket to his
mother, Mordomti Awa, who, after
setting aside some of the water to
drink, used the rest to bathe her
son and soothe his dry skin and frail
bones.
Back home people always called
me dry bread, Narmbaye said.
I looked shriveled up, like I could
shrink at any minute.
While Mordomti tended to the
house, her husband, Joseph, drove a
truck, bringing in just enough money
to provide food every few weeks, but
not enough to pay for his sons school
books.
One day, Narmbaye and Charles
tried to watch a DVD of their favorite
musician, rapper DMX.
They sat and waited for three
hours to hear DMX unleash his
trademark barks and growls.
Still nothing. Their homes had no
electricity.
They craved America harder
now.
But the more they talked, the
more doubt trickled in.
Narmbaye and Charles
heard tales of pampered, greedy
Americans who resisted family
life, pursuing individual glory over
community.
We both understood that theres
a difference in culture (between
Chad and the U.S.), Charles said.
Whats outrageous to us may not be
outrageous to them (Americans). An
American can get in trouble and then
get on a plane and go somewhere
else. If we got kicked out of school or
something, we wouldnt even be able
to get to an airport.
Some people in Chad lived more
than adequately.
Rich businessmen, selling oil and
cotton, enjoyed rights not given to
uneducated like Mordomti Awa and
Joseph.
But that didnt stop Mordomti
Awa and Joseph from instilling
rm Christian values in Narmbaye,
telling their son to treat women well,
to embrace education and to live
soberly.
When I was born, my parents
introduced me to God early on,
Narmbaye said. If you do things
right, great things will happen to
you, they said. My dad didnt play
around with education. If you miss
a class, he would make you nd
another place to sleep at night.
So, naturally, at 5 years old
a startled Narmbaye anxiously
listened to his father when he woke
him up in the middle of the night
and told him that he should give
up soccer, Chads staple sport, for
basketball.
Narmbayes older brother, who
played international ball, tutored the
shoeless, gangly kid, showing him
the basics on an indoor court at their
elementary school.
Joseph and Mordomti Awa
never got to see their son make it any
further.
One year after her son picked
up basketball, Mordomti died of
malaria.
Three years later, Joseph passed
away from the disease as well.
When you see them (his
parents) lying down in front of you,
where they cant talk to you or give
you advice, it feels like life is over,
Narmbaye said. Doctors in Chad
are not for poor people. They just let
you sit there. If the rich get sick they
take care of you right away.
But Narmbaye couldnt afford to
sulk.
Facing a precious choice between
starvation and school made sure of
that.
After living with his older
brother and his family for a few
years, Narmbaye walked into the
dead heart of Africa alone, ready to
fend for himself.
Narmbaye left central
Ndjamena one summer to help his
grandparents sell crops in South
Chad.
He shuttled between school and
the city life in south Chad, selling
rice, corn and yams, staying with
various friends along the waya
12-year-old entrepreneur without
the riches or suit and tie.
He used the earnings to either
save enough to pay for school,
sacricing food, or to purchase
fruits, vegetables and rice to keep
him from being hungry.
Former FGCU basketbaII pIayer and current graduate student, Roman
Narmbaye, came to America from Chad, Africa, in ZDDZ.

People often make bad decisions
under pressure. Be it parental, peer, or
institutional pressure, the added strain
inhibits our normal thought process. For
a country founded upon the right to make
choices based on freedom, we like to tell
people what to do. We like to force our
convictions on others and guilt them for
their own. We are manipulators- like it or
not.
Yes, there is an unspoken obligation to
morals when it comes to others. Harming
others is undesirable. But what of the
moral obligations to ourselves? We have
the freedom to do as we wish with our own
bodies.
The people who need to hear this most
wont read it, but for those trying to break
away from expectations drilled into you,
empower yourselves. And for you closet
prudes reading this behind a closed door
and giggling, live free. Honestly, if you are
happy with yourself, dont care so much
about what others think.
Youre the one who has to live with
yourself. As long as you are being safe,
taking precautions, and not placing
yourself in a risky situation, your life
should be in your control. Look into
your own heart and mind for the sexual
choice that is right for you. Everyones
interpretations and perceptions of what
is right and wrong when it comes to their
own bodies will varyas they should.
Position one: we are all creatures
capable of our own thoughts. Philosophies
abound. Sexual rights are among of
our most celebrated. Loosen up, put
aside what you have been taught for a
moment, and ponder what you want for
your life. Look into your own heart and
mind for the sexual choice that is right
for you. Everyones interpretations and
perceptions of what is right and wrong
when it comes to their own bodies will
varyas they should.
Position two: We are all judgmental,
and we are all wrong. Sex is a personal
choice. Faith is a personal choice. While
some may say premarital sex is morally
wrong, who is to say what morals are
universal in a personal setting?
I was raised Christian. I am now a
practicing Buddhist. Even as I was growing
up in the church, I never understood the
kerfuffle about sex. Why does sex have to
be so taboo? Why are there so many rules?
Why does everyone feel their stance on the
act is the best and only choice? If you make
something off limits, there is a heightened
curiosity that results.
Adultery, STDs, abuse, wild sex, and
divorce are Unitarians. They can make
company with anyone and they do.
I believe people should be able
to express their love in the ultimate
connection if they feel the urge to unite. I
also believe in caution and protection.
Some may believe Im going to hell.
Perhaps they are right- but I regret
that people believe they can make such
condemnations.
In Buddhism, we do not pass judgment.
We learn from the mistakes of others.
Human connections feed our philosophical
vitality. Sex is a connection, tantric sex
being the most enduring, unbreakable
connection.
Two people who experience tantric
sex together unite their bodies in not
only passion, but tender awareness of the
other person, mentally connecting so their
bodies move in harmony to reach a sexual
and emotional nirvana, regardless of
rings, promises or statues. Still, everyone
is entitled to their own beliefs and actions.
Welcome to the U.S.A.
Position three: Some people have
nightmares about sex. This is because
they have experienced a level of hell where
they were met with a sexual terror. Rape
and molestation are difficult and can be
near impossible to overcome. There are
those who turn to certain coping outlets
to be able to pick up the pieces. Some
turn to religion, others to support groups,
and a vast majority are left with scarred
opinions of sex.
Your body is yours. Just as you are
entitled to choose to be sexually active,
you have the right to be sexually abstinent.
Either way, do not allow yourself to be
pressured. If you do not want to have sex,
that is your prerogativedo not allow
anyone to sway you otherwise. However,
if you do choose to be sexually active, feel
comfortable and empowered about your
decision. Be smart, and use precautions.
We cannot save the world. We can pass
out advice, but we cannot beat our views
and beliefs into others. Sex is one of the
most personal choices of all. Arguments
erupt on both sides, eliciting strong
emotion. Both are right. Sometimes we
simply have to live and let live and deal
diversity.

Asst. opinion editor
I was a bit apprehensive about writing a
rst year reection article as its a rather
cliched topic in general, but I realized that
I could have a bit of fun with it and perhaps
bring in a different perspective.
To start off, I am a helplessly optimistic
person in that I put trust in the future above
all. Itll get better; steel through this is
one of the most frequent thoughts that pass
through the cloud castle I call my mind.
That being said, it would be rather
difcult to write this article with an endlessly
bright-eyed perspective. While it is true that
there are certain cliched transformations
that I can say I went through (discovering
new things about myself, learning new
perspectives), I would attribute those
transformations not to being in college, but
to being in a new environment in general.
Im sure the same would have happened if
you threw me into New York city. But besides
those cliched transformations, all I can really
talk about is the distinct lack of grasp on
reality that college apparently bestows on
you.
I suppose the problem is that the buildup
to college treats it like the holy grail of life
the best time of your life where youll have
all the best experiences you can imagine.
The freedoms are endless! Go to bed and get
up whenever you want? Skip class if you so
choose? And youre even telling me I can go to
the bathroom without having to ask? Sheesh,
sign me up.
My introspective and critical mind very
quickly gured out I wasnt at college to
receive some ambiguous experience, I was
there to learn. On top of that, the experience
has been rather repulsive. As someone who
values sobriety and modesty, the weird
rabid desire to get drunk and go wild is both
amusing and disturbing. Amusing because
it makes college students look like kids in
a candy shop (if the candy was 30 proof)
and disturbing because its such a valueless
pursuit (or in other words, its the lack of
grasp on reality I mentioned earlier).
No, instead of partying, it was the
intellectual stimulation that was rewarding. I
will completely back the intellectual value of
college because I could notice such a change
in how and how much information was
delivered between college and high school
that it was almost black and white. And I
also want to shout out to Eagle News for the
opportunity to keep my writing skills sharp
and giving me the most interesting extra-
curricular opportunities Ive experienced.
I just feel compelled to point out the
vacuous and silly activities that Ive noticed
are treated with far too much dignity. Theres
nothing cultural and respectable about
getting smashed every weekend or frequently
having a partner you barely know. When
you deconstruct the college experience,
it tends to boil down to these very trivial
and bird-brained activities so Im inclined
to doubt the legitimacy of college being a
whole new world. Instead, the value comes
in autonomy that you use to do something
actually constructive.
Damn. I sound kind of lame. I guess I
just want to say that a lot of what college
promised to be was unsubstantiated. There
are a lot of
great parts, but they are the type of things
that you have to learn to appreciate and thats
what makes them valuable.

After reading Sara Gottwales Foreplay:
Preparing, I feel shocked and mortied
that the Eagle News would allow such visual,
graphic diction in an article. Penning her lead
with the phrase special birthday sex tactic,
the assumption of relevant, informative news
quickly downgraded to little more than sex
gossip. Instead of educating myself in the
latest happenings, immersing myself in the
authoritative air reminiscent of renowned
newspapers, I found myself reading words
alluding to Cosmopolitans sex-blaring
attitude.
Degrading into mere chit chat,
Gottwales second sentence shocked me
even more, using explicit words that, frankly,
disturbed me. No longer did I read an
informative article, but a paragraph made
up only crude dialogue, with its black crown:
Pretty damn B.A. right?!
Now ask yourself this question: Would
the USA Today, New York Times, or The
News-Press publish such a sentence? Or the
word penis and graphic imagery following?
Of course not. Ask any science, anatomy
and physiology, or biology professor, and he
or she will answer, Well, penis counts as a
scientic term. However, the way in which
Gottwales uses the term penis connotes
sex, well depicted by her very graphic use of
diction to describe a mans groin area.
Overall, I found Gottwales article
incredibly sickening, inappropriate, offensive,
and wholly unprofessional. Instead of writing
an informative, well-written and researched
article about foreplay, Gottwales babbles
about hearsay and gossip, throwing around
graphic diction and no consideration for
readers morals akin to a bull in a china shop.
Even Cosmopolitans sex articles dont display
such shocking, graphic detail; otherwise the
magazine would get bombarded with letters
from offended readers.
Even the University of North Floridas
Spinnaker student newspaper, upon
publishing an article and racy cover about
HPV showing a woman getting oral sex,
makes their article informative and honest
about the STD.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
By EN opinion staff
To avoid end-of-semester hair loss,
opinion writers have composed this list of
study tips to help guide readers through
the terrors of finals
week. Or, the finals
high sea as Andrew
Friedgen (the pirate)
calls it.
Sara Gottwalles: Depending on the
class, re-writing notes can be helpful.
Sometimes note cards and study groups
are effective, you just run into the problem
with groups of getting off topic. I really
like to use a mnemonic trick for things I
need to remember.
Andrew Friedgen: I dont really study.
Learn it all the first time. Finals week is all
about loosening up though like a pirate.
Mandie Rainwater: I just pay
attention in class. Put down the damn
phone and attend class.
Chelsea Seeley: I tend to go over my
notes a lot and study from past quizzes
or tests if the professors give them back.
Note cards also work when it comes to
remembering vocabulary and key terms.
Chel Freeman: Turn your Internet
off or go somewhere where there is no
Internet access to distract you. Other
tips would be to highlight notes according
to what the professor says will be on the
exam or what she/he has stressed in the
past. Sometimes study groups are helpful,
but only if youre studying with a group
of people who have actually done well all
semester.
Rashai Lee: Study each day before
the test, for a few days. Dont study the
night before the exam because your brain
will not retain all the information. While
studying, make sure you take a five minute
break, that way you wont overwork your
brain.
Useful study tips, in our opinions

Roller hockey nalional nalisl in rsl season

By Andrew Binninger
Staff writer
It was a tremendous inaugural season for
the Florida Gulf Coast Roller Hockey team.
The team, literally built from scratch, made
it all the way to the National Collegiate Roller
Hockey Association nal game, only to nish
runner-up to Miami.
At the NCRHA Tournament in Madison,
Wis., the team went all the way to the
championship game, defeating teams such
as Illinois, Denver, Texas Tech, Western
Michigan, Southern California, and Missouri
Science and Technology.
Team President Trent Zimmer originally
conceived the idea of bringing a roller hockey
team to FGCU.
I played ice hockey for the Division II team
last year and then I realized that roller hockey
is really big down here in Florida, Zimmer
said. When I found out that there was a roller
hockey league (for colleges) I thought that it
would be really fun to have a team.
The development of the team began in
April 2010, and all the pieces were put together
by the fall of that year.
Zimmers teammate, Kevin Wagner, also
liked the idea of having a roller hockey team.
I have been playing ice hockey my whole
life, but then I noticed that roller hockey
is more common down here (in Florida),
Wagner said. I saw that Trent (Zimmer) was
starting a team so I jumped on board.
Wagner also notes that there are
differences between ice and roller hockey.
The major differences are that there is no
icing or off-sides (in roller hockey), Wagner
said. Also, roller hockey is played four-on-four
instead of ve-on-ve. Its more of a free-falling
game.
Zimmer was surprised that the team
succeeded so early in their existence.
It (the 2010-11 season) went really well,
Zimmer said. It was a huge team effort and
everybody chipped in. We expected to do well
but I dont think we expected to do as well as
we did.
Zimmer saw signs of a special team early in
the season.
Our rst game we beat Middle Tennessee
10-1, so very early in the season we knew that
this team was going to be very good, Zimmer
said.
Graden Levine starred for the roller hockey
team as well.
Levine, originally from Long Island, N.Y.,
had prior roller hockey experience coming into
the season.
I have played hockey (roller) since I was
8 years old, Levine said. When I rst came
down to Florida I took a few years off, however
I noticed that the club was being started and
Ive always loved the game (so I started up
again).
Levine is very pleased with the teams
success.
The season went unbelievably well,
Levine said. Even though we lost the
championship game in double overtime the
season could not have gone any better.
The players encourage fellow FGCU
students to come out and join the team.
Its a great thing to do outside of school,
Wagner said. You form a great group of
friends and it also becomes like a family.
Levine agrees.
Our team is a very close group of guys,
Levine said. I have never been closer with
a group of players than I am with the guys on
this team.
Even though the team came up short in
the nals of the NCRHA championships, the
future looks very bright, as FGCU moves up to
Division 1 next season.
For those who are interested in joining the
team, they can check out the teams webpage
at facebook.com/FGCUrollerhockey or they
can send an e-mail to FGCU.RollerHockey@
gmail.com.

The Florida Gulf Coast softball team (29-
25, 12-6 A-Sun) was on the rise after defeating
A-Sun conference leader Lipscomb in a
doubleheader last Thursday.
The rst game was a 14-0 blowout by the
Eagles, with the rst four runs scored after
sophomore Mariah Fernandez nailed a grand
slam over the right eld fence. The second
game was another victory by a 5-1 score.
The Eagles suddenly found themselves
in a tie for rst place with Jacksonville
University with a record of 10-2 in conference.
Then things suddenly came to a halt
against conference opponent Belmont on
Saturday. The day started out promising
with a 6-0 victory by the Eagles in game one
of the doubleheader, but in the second game,
Belmont fought back from a 2-0 decit to
claim a 4-2 victory over the Eagles.
This put the Eagles one game behind
Jacksonville.
Prior to the Monday, April 18 game at
Jacksonville, Coach Dave Deiros knew that
the chances of claiming the conference
championship had gotten harder.
Nothing has really changed, Deiros said.
We knew going in that we controlled our own
destiny and we still do. We have a face-to-face
meeting with the team ahead of us and were
only one game behind and its still in our
hands. We lost our margin for error with this
loss.
Deiros saw the loss to Belmont as a
learning experience for this team.
Its been a learning experience and today
afforded us another lesson, Deiros said. You
hate to go ahead and take a loss, especially
this kind of loss, to teach that lesson.
Hopefully our players understand what
weve been preaching to them about taking
advantage of opportunities.
Aside from taking advantage of
opportunities, Fernandez also felt the team
needed to play more consistent defense.
I think the main thing is we need to be
able to catch ourselves when were making
errors, instead of just letting it downward
spiral, Fernandez said. We need to have
damage control when it comes to that, and
not let too many errors occur because thats
when it gets to be extra innings.
Unfortunately, Mondays doubleheader
against Jacksonville continued to provide
tough lessons to this young team, as they
lost game one 8-0 in ve innings, and failed to
come back in game two with a 5-2 loss.
This left the team four games behind
conference leader Jacksonville.
While the recent slummp is upsetting,
the Eagles currently sit in second in the
conference.
If it werent for the Division I transition
they would be eligible for post-season play.
This is year number four of it (the
transition), so were used to it, Deiros said.
The only bright side is that we know exactly
when our season is over. We know exactly
when we need to pack up and send everybody
home. The light is at the end of the tunnel.
Deiros looks forward to next year, when
the Eagles will nally be postseason eligible.
Were ready to go ahead and compete
next year, Deiros said. The good news for us
is every year that weve played in the Atlantic
Sun we wouldve gone to the post- season.
On top of that, the Eagles still have one
more chance to add to their conference
victories, as they conclude their season at
home against conference opponent Stetson
on April 22.

NOTE TO READERS: Sports
editor Josh SiegeI trained with
the men's and women's cross
country team one day Iast
week. This articIe is part of a
series in which EagIe News
editors and writers chaIIenge
FGCU athIetes in their sport.
Today, SiegeI describes his
aImost 4miIe run.
By Josh SiegeI
Sports editor
I debated the pre-run food selection
for a good four days. The cross-country
team warned about their rigorous daily
routines, runs between 3 to 13 miles per
day, with weight training and sprint work
in between. This meant I might be running
for 25 minutes ... or three days. What food
would keep me full for the duration but not
bloated? I hadnt cramped up in my one-
day-a-week, 30 minute per session treadmill
preparation. But a
treadmill goes nowhere.
I can stop at my leisure.
My sing-alongs to the
Nsync, Ne-Yo and
Alanis Morissette tunes
blaring from my iPod
detract from the run.
Im competing against
myself.
I settled on spooning
Jif peanut butter straight
from the jar, with a
banana on the side. I gured the protein and
potassium combination was too valuable to
pass up. Did Greek yogurt, frigid Sovi patties
or stale Sovi tuna sh creep into my mind at
a point? Indeed, it did. One of the runners
warned me to avoid dairy and grease so I
used my judgment in the end.
Food in my belly, I casually walk over to
Alico Arena to meet the team. I didnt want
to expend any energy at that point, so my
walk is more of a limp. I greet the cross-
country team, both men and women. They
look t and ready. I feel like a clown, wearing
a green, non-workout T-shirt.
My rarely used running shoes add some
credibility to the outt. Attempting to look
professional, I immediately crouch into a
groin stretch. Then I sit down and attempt
to touch my toes, loosening the hamstrings.
I learn that I will be running about four
miles, in the depths of the FGCU trails. I
wasnt expecting off-road running. The
scenery beats staring at a black, paved,
endless road.
Before I could debate the wackiness of
my outt, four male runners and one female
gallop toward the trail behind the soccer
eld. Im off. One runner stays back with me,
about 15 steps behind the rest of the pack. I
feel like Im in a dead sprint, yet I can barely
hear toes crunching twigs from the runners
in front of me.
Brilliantly, the runner who hangs back
with me reveals that the team usually chit
chats while running. Makes the time go
faster and the run more interesting, they
say. My attempt at conversation comes out
in stuttered spurts, as my breath evades me.
I can feel my rosy cheeks. The others barely
break a sweat. I learn that the cross-country
team also runs track during the off-season.
Their season never ends. The runner who
hangs back with me tells me his apparent
full-on sprint is innate at this point. He
compares it to putting on his clothes in the
morning. Routine. Mindless. Easy.
Im not ready for this. I regret my pre-run
weight training session consisting of squats
and calf raises. My legs are useless. The
lingering peanut butter taste in my mouth
annoys me. My hair pricks at my eyes. Im
thinking too much.
The runners switch off staying back
with me. I appreciate them straying from
their normal pace and routine, as I would
have been lost in the dark, creepy woods.
We make sharp turns, running between
trees a few feet apart. I have lost all sense of
direction. My left shoe unties, and I nearly
trip on a tree branch.
We debate jumping a fence to explore
the path behind it. No dice. The distance
between me, the runner who stays back
with me, and the rest of the pack grows.
Finally, I see daylight. After what seems like
hours, theres a break in the woods. Were
back by the soccer elds and I sprint in,
attempting to show the runners who had
already nished my cult-like pace. One of
the runners tells me we ran about 3 miles
in about 28 minutes, a warm-up session
for the team. I cant decipher the numbers.
The cross-country team isnt done for the
day. They plan on running sprints after the
long-distance work. Insane. Needless to say,
I decline the invite. The post-run meal is
on tap. Chocolate milk, peanut butter and
patties.
