No, because the prices of movies alone keep going up every so many years. I think they just went up to $12 at some places and the cost of that goes up in the 3D movies. Supposedly, they are paying for the glasses, and after a movie you have to give the glasses back; most of the time it is not worth it.”
— Drew Claud, sophomore criminal justice major

Sometimes it depends. ‘Avatar’ was worth it but ‘Alice in Wonderland’ was not. I think it would have been just as good if it wasn’t in 3D, plus when it comes having to buy the glasses you can’t reuse your glasses? They won’t take down the charge so that is not worth it either.”
— Alexis Burroughs, Pre Physical Therapy Major

Not at all. The effects are not wowing enough. I am going to give you an extra $4, it’s cool to pay $1.50 but $4 is ridiculous. It is like watching regular movies, it would be good if the extra $4 for the whole theater where the seats are moving. Just watching a movie that doesn’t come to my face is not worth it to pay $4 extra.”
— Octavious Price, sophomore chemistry major

I don’t like it because if you have already seen a 3D before another 3D, you should already have your same glasses and you shouldn’t have to be charged for those same glasses.”
— Domineque Jack, freshman french international major

Absolutely not, because there is not actual 3D. 3D is supposed to be up front in your face. ‘Alice in Wonderland’ was better than ‘Clash of the Titans’ but there is no actual 3D like Disney World.”
— Rebecca Johnson, junior early childhood education major

It makes sense to get charged when you know it is animated, when it is not animated it’s not worth the price.”
— Katie Miller, freshman education major

The Wildlife Society offered diners an ultimate feast of wild game on Saturday, March 27 in the Morgan University Center. The food featured a variety of foods such as venison chili, frog legs, and turkey soup.The dishes were killed and prepared by members and friends of the Wildlife Society.

Also included with the $10 ticket was the chance to enter the raffle, which offered prizes such as wildlife prints and outdoor related items such as fishing poles. With about 35 in attendance, president Christ O’Bryan was more than pleased with this year’s turn out. Both APSU students and non-students were in attendance, and everyone enjoyed the atmosphere, conversation and good food.

O’Bryan and the other members of the Wildlife Society put a lot of time and effort into organizing this year’s event. “A lot of student chapters hold dinners,” says O’Bryan. “It’s a great way to reach out to the public and raise awareness. We always have a lot of fun doing it.”

This was the second annual Wild Game Dinner held by the student chapter of the Wildlife Society, a professional society dedicated to wildlife research and sustainability. It is the largest fundraising event of the year, and the proceeds go to the development of the chapter. Currently, there are about 20 members in the society, which was founded in 2007.

“Campus is just starting a new effort to get all the recycling coordinated,” said Joe Mills, director of Housing/Residence Life and Dining Services.

The new project to coordinate recycling on campus began about three weeks ago and it is still a work in progress because people want more containers or want to move the containers, Mills said.

He said, several buildings were already doing it but there was no coordinated effort in picking it up.

“We are trying to set up locations in every one of the buildings so that as students are leaving class or doing whatever they can drop off materials in the recycling areas,” Mills said.

He said student workers are hired through the funding by the Green Committee to pick up the items on a regular basis. “This is to contribute to the overall betterment of campus.” Mills said he wants to get the word out and make sure we are doing the right thing.

He said plastics, paper, cardboard and aluminum are being recycled, everything but glass.

Mills said all the recyclables are taken behind the physical plant and bi-county picks up the materials and weighs it.

After bi-county weighs it, they send any proceeds to the university.

“Its really not a whole lot of money, but I think the big thing is that we are doing it because it’s the right thing to do and just saving landfill space,” Mills said.

He said the money would be for buying new containers or for educational purposes.

He said the amount of money is so minimal it really doesn’t help with anything.

He said if anyone thinks a container needs to be added or any suggestions or questions to contact him at millsj@apsu.edu or (931) 221-6198

Since the start of the Olympic games on Feb. 12, people from all across the world have been tuning in to watch and see how their country fares when being pitted against the best of the best from various competitors of other nations.

The Beijing Olympics, held in 2008, was declared by NBC the most-watched event in American television history with a staggering 214 million viewers. However, around APSU, the enthusiasm seems to be lacking for the 2010 Winter Olympic games.

“I watched the Olympics last time around, but I just couldn’t get in to them this year,” said freshman Robyn Simpson. Students who haven’t watched the Winter Olympics claim a number of reasons, from not having enough time to being interested in the games.

There are some events students believe should not be a part of the Winter Olympics. Freshman Christopher Silk believes that curling, an event where four members slide a heavy blue stone across a floor made of curling sheet, should never have been added to the Winter Olympics. “Curling is basically glorified housekeeping,” said freshman Bo Hunter, in agreement.

However, some events, like freestyle aerial skiing, still manage to captivate the attention of students. “It’s interesting how you can be on skis and do so many flips,” said freshman Brianca Williams. “That takes a lot of athleticism.”

Another event students have shown interest in is both men’s and women’s hockey. “I think it’s great that the Canadian team beat the States in women’s hockey,” said freshman Sean Bailey, who is a native Canadian.
Although the number of students tuning in to the Vancouver Olympics may be less than anticipated, it doesn’t make United States fans less proud of the United States’ victory, earning a grand total of 37 medals.

In an overtime thriller, the APSU Govs defeated the Southeast Missouri Redhawks 76-71 Thursday, Dec. 3.

The win was head coach Dave Loos’ 400th victory. After the game fans called out “Loooooos” and applauded as President Timothy Hall presented Loos with a special basketball commemorating the milestone.

Loos then earned his 401st victory Saturday, Dec. 5, against the Eastern Illinois Panthers. The win tied UT Martin coach Cal Luther for the most victories (319) while coaching in the Ohio Valley Conference.

This is Loos’ 20th season as APSU head basketball coach. Loos has also been the Athletic Director for the last 12 years.

He has been named OVC Coach of the Year five times and was inducted into the Austin Peay Athletics Hall of Fame last year. It was his third Hall of Fame induction.
