The first open forum for Iowa State’s senior vice president and provost search will be Jonathan Wickert, dean of the College of Engineering. It will be at 10:30 a.m. Monday in the Pioneer Room of the Memorial Union. During this time, Wickert will meet with members of the community.

Wickert has served as the dean of the College of Engineering at Iowa State since 2009. He came to Iowa State in 2007 as chairman of the department of mechani-cal engineering and the Larry and Pam Pithan Professor of Mechanical Engineering. Before coming to Iowa State, he served 17 years at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.

Wickert is the James and Katherine Melsa Professor of Engineering and a professor of mechanical engineering. He earned his bachelor’s degree in 1985, master’s degree in 1987, and his doctorate in 1989, all in mechanical engi-neering from the University of California at Berkeley. As dean of the College of Engineering, he leads academic programs and business operations which encompass 7,000 stu-dents, 360 faculty members.

This will be the first of the three open forums for provost and vice president of Iowa State. The next open forum will be for David Manderscheid, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. This will be at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday in Pioneer Room of the Memorial Union. The third and last forum will be for Carlo Montemagno, founding dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Cincinnati. This forum will be at 10:45 a.m. Friday in the Memorial Union Gallery.

their performance with the hit song “Tonight, Tonight.”

It is a term synonymous with the winding down of each semester: Dead Week.

For some ISU students, the term does not bear any significance the first time they hear a fellow student utter the words. Its weight does not re-ally begin to sink in until their workload becomes unbearable.

According to the ISU catalog, Dead Week is des-

ignated as the final week of undergraduate classes of both the fall and spring semesters. Declared by the Government of the Student Body and the uni-versity, the goal of Dead Week is to allow students the time to review and fully prepare for the com-ing final exams. Clubs and organizations are not allowed to hold meetings during this time without the permission of the program coordinator in the Student Activities Center.

On the academic side, “mandatory final exams may not be given during Dead Week except for labo-

ratory courses and for those classes meeting once a week and for which there is no contact during the normal final exam week.”

Major course assignments, like research papers and projects, should be assigned well before Dead Week begins, with the due date for these assign-ments no later than the Friday of Dead Week.

Recently, Dead Week practices have come un-der fire by students, culminating in a resolution put

Due to such a large amount of people, the Great Hall of the Memorial Union had to be shut down for a few moments during the International Food Fair in order to avoid breaking fire code.

“Last year we had to do that about three times,” said Kanchana Hettiarachchi, ju-nior in civil engineering and co-coordinator of the food fair. “If something happens, people need to be able to get out fast.”

Although the amount of people at the fair was nearly breaking the fire code limit, this only meant good things for the student organizations and the International Student Council. More mouths to feed meant more profit for both. In addition to soaring levels of ticket sales, international stu-dents were able to share their culture with others.

“This is what we’re here for,” said Sabdiel Reyes, presi-dent of the Puerto Rican Student Association and sophomore in chemical engi-neering. “This is why this club was opened, to let people know who we are … and we’re doing it in a creative way, bringing food and music, a little spice from Puerto Rico, to Iowa State.”

Reyes and a group of other Puerto Rican students includ-ing Francisco Murphy, fresh-man in forestry, Jan Michael, freshman in aerospace, Samir A’agha freshman in veteri-nary medicine and Fernando Berrios, sophomore in per-forming arts were playing Panderos in front of their table.

Panderos are similar to tambourines, and are often played for parties or any gath-ering in Puerto Rico. The drums are especially common during Christmas time; simi-lar to caroling in the United States, groups go from home to home playing Panderos for the holidays. A crowd gathered as they broke into song again, playing a beat they said is used for many traditional songs.

“You feel really proud of where you come from,” Murphy said. “It’s good to show your true spirit.”

Anna Prisacari, graduate student in human computer interaction and president of the Russian-Speaking Student Association, showed her cul-ture in more than one way. Along with serving dishes from three different Russian-speaking countries, she wore the “festive Moldavian outfit of the young lady.”

Prisacari’s outfit was a vi-brantly colored dress with an apron and was accessorized

with flowers worn in her hair. The flowers, Prisacari said, show she is a young woman. If she were married, she would have to cover her hair.

Annie Feenstra, perform-ing arts sophomore, said the

food fair is a cool way to ex-perience culture. “I like to eat and I’m tired of all the ... flavor-less food we have here [in the United States.],” Feenstra said. “Everyone is excited to be here sharing their culture.”

The College of Veterinary Medicine host-ed its annual open house to celebrate Veishea.

Clubs like College of Veterinary Medicine Spectrum and Student Chapter of American Veterinary Medical Association hosted dis-plays for children, such as animal mask mak-ing and a teddy bear suture lab, respectively.

Other clubs like the Zoo, Exotics and Wildlife Club, the Avian Club, and the Herpetology Club had exotic animal displays which included reptiles, geckos, birds and other animals.

Within the open house, there were many other events going on, for both children and adults alike.

Many of the events were sponsored by organizations.

“Different veterinary student clubs have displays all over the school,” said Allison Meiszberg, a third year veterinary student.

There were also informational displays, such as dog bite prevention sponsored by Student Chapter of American Veterinary Medical Association, Canine CPR put on by the Student Chapter of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care, and a booth by the Shelter Club that showed shelter pets for adoption.

Other organizations that had displays were the Wildlife Care Clinic, the American Animal Hospital Association and the Behavior Club.

In the basement was a petting zoo, which had goats, a miniature horse and other animals.

There were also events for students who are looking at applying to the vet school.

There were tours of the college, the newly remodeled Small Animal Hospital and also the Large Animal Hospital.

There was also a prospective student seminar, which required pre-registration and included lunch.

“The prospective student seminar is pretty much a workshop that goes over the general application process,” said Nick Sterner, a third year veterinary student.

It also included information on how to cre-ate a competitive resume, which is important when applying for vet school.

The college uses the seminar as a chance for prospective students and parents to get their questions answered.

This year, over 150 people signed up for the seminar.

“We actually had to cap off registration because it filled up so fast, which is good,” Sterner said.

The school has the open house every year Veishea weekend to show the public more about the college and the veterinary profession.

“We’re a little off the beaten path, and we want to show people what we have to offer,” Meiszberg said.

She also added that the College of Veterinary Medicine likes to get involved with the rest of the university.

Sterner summed up the reason the open house is every year in one simple statement.

“Because we put the ‘V’ in Veishea,” he said.

Vet Med uses open house to put the ‘V’ in Veishea

forth by the GSB and subse-quent proposal presented to the Faculty Senate at its April meeting. Under this policy, said Zachary Boss, GSB di-rector of student affairs, the faculty would be more ac-countable and give students more rights.

“We heard a lot of com-plaints from students saying that 70 percent of their grade was being decided in three days,” said GSB president Jared Knight. “Also, many students did not know, and still do not know, the policy

exists.”At April’s Faculty Senate

meeting, senators spent much of the time going over the proposal and debating possible amendments. There was specific wording issues faculty had with the original proposal. After being debated and amended multiple times, the proposal as a whole was passed.

“The current proposal contains better language from 2001,” Boss said.

He went on to say that one of the major changes in-volves the establishment of the email address academi-

cissues@iastate.edu. This address, Boss said, is main-tained by Associate Provost David Holger’s office and a place where students can ad-dress their concerns if they feel their rights have been violated.

While this proposal ac-complishes a lot, members of GSB still feel there is work to be done.

“We will continue work-ing with the Faculty Senate on a number of issues,” Knight said. “We’ll look at the fall semester and see the effects, and fix things from there.”

>>DEAD WEEK.p1

The reoccurring appearance of the “Cory Jones” picture on Facebook has be-come quite irritating, and its frequency

leaves me with a rather uncomfortable feeling. It is an imperative I put an end to this once and for all, as it seems to be contaminating the minds of so many social networkers.

For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, let me set the context before I continue.

As the story goes, a professor of a university is lecturing a class where he asks a student whether he believes in God or not. The profes-sor at first seems to completely dismantle the student’s beliefs. He postulates that if God cre-ated everything, then he must have created evil, thus God must be evil. He further expounds upon this by providing the evidence of God’s creation of “hatred, ugliness, and sickness.”

The professor further states, “you have five senses, yet you cannot see God,” and that by empirical, testable and demonstrable protocol, science says your God does not exist.

Once the professor finishes his grilling, it’s the student’s turn to strike back. The student questions the professor as to the existence of “cold.” He states that there is no such thing that science can claim as “cold” nor can science claim some thing as “darkness.” The student explains that the former is merely an absence of “heat” while the latter is the absence of “light.”

Just as science cannot establish duality of opposites, so can it not establish the opposites of a “good” God and a “bad” God. The student further explains that “death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.” There is even a cute segment of this story that includes a quix-otic claim against evolution: It is merely “opin-ion,” that since we cannot observe evolution, we must operate under mere “faith” that it is true. So, the explanations to life must therefore, at times, be reduced to “faith.”

Where do I start?First and foremost, I must preface this with

a quick correction for the author of this horrific parable of illogical silliness. In terms of the duality argument, “light” and “dark” are indeed not claimed to be necessary opposites. Light, in the context of science, is a noun, a natural phenomenon that we can observe. Dark, on the other hand, is an adjective, an explanation of the absence of light.

The same holds true for “heat.” Heat is a noun, a natural phenomenon, while “cold” is an adjective, an explanation.

To use this and attempt to usurp a life and death duality is definitely not a good start to arguing against science. Life and Death are absolute states of being, finite in nature. You are either alive, or you are dead. Whereas cold explains a degree of heat and darkness is a degree of light, life and death are absolute. While you can have degrees of life, such as lack of significant cognitive processes in retarda-tion or states of cerebral vegetation, you cannot have degrees of death. Ignoring the idea of an afterlife, when your physical existence ceases to function, you have entered the absolute state of death.

Furthermore, the initial assertions of the professor are rather pigeonholed to begin with. Either that, or this professor is gravely misin-terpreting science’s perspective of the divine. Science does not empirically or quantitatively claim God does not exist. Rather, science explains natural phenomenon in unbiased fashion.

From the evidence that science gathers, tried and tested over time, it may claim that there is no reason to believe God exists.

Though, the “answers” to life’s most press-ing questions could coalesce through the sci-entific endeavors undertaken by the geniuses running the massive particle accelerators at CERN and FermiLab, the pinnacle of human technology.

Now, the student’s claim against evolution is ingratiatingly obtuse and rather adorable by intellectual standards. The fact that you cannot observe evolutionary processes happening before your eyes does not mean that it doesn’t exist. But, if I must satisfy the “evolution before our eyes” conjecture, then I suppose I can provide an example.

For example (apologies for the redun-dancy), Hudson River fish are slowly becom-ing immune to toxic waste. Atlantic tomcod have evolved, most specifically in response to General Electric’s dumping of 1.3 million pounds of PCBs, within just 20 to 50 genera-tions of fish. That is incredible speed in terms of evolutionary standards, and it has helped the fish become immune to the poison in their water.

It hardly requires mere “faith” to know this. Science does not call for “faith”; it calls for evidence. The professor in this situation would never say “I guess you’ll have to take them on faith.” The professor’s brain, although not inherently observable, is there; because by scientific standards, he would not be able to cognitively function much less formulate co-herent sentences. The postulation is satisfied by biological fact.

Leave faith to religion, and leave the evi-dence to science.

Oh, and by the way, Einstein was not the student in this story, as some have claimed. Einstein was agnostic at the very least, and he wouldn’t be stupid enough to regress to such paltry logic

GSB should keep campus updates even

One take-away from last week’s Government of the Student Body Senate meeting — their final meet-ing before classes resume in August — was that, despite much support for replacing the chairs in the Parks Library lobby, students are unwilling to pay the cost that goes with it.

That, at least, is the testimony of two surveys conducted on the chair replacement issue and of senators who went out and spoke to their constituents.

It is also the testimony of the Senate’s 1-24 vote against the bill to give the Library first $10,894.44 and, after the bill was amended, $5447.22 to replace the lobby chairs.

The results of those two surveys show that 59 and 60.2 percent of stu-dents, respectively, support replacing the chairs through the use of GSB funds.

Bear in mind that the original plan would cost each student less than 50 cents.

The simple fact, we believe, is this: Students have a stake in how their library — a great common space available to all members of the ISU community, past, present and future — appears and the facilities available in it.

With so much emphasis in today’s world on improving technological ac-cess and facilities, we worry that the actual, tangible spaces among us will be forgotten.

They cannot be. As we update other facilities — constructing buildings such as Troxel Hall, the addition to State Gym, ensuring that all classrooms have LCD projectors, screens, sound and video systems, and renovating buildings such as the Library — we cannot leave other aspects of our student areas to fall behind.

The Library is as much a part of student life as is the Memorial Union. It is where we go study, research, congregate and meet. Walking up to it, we pass through the Free Speech Zone on campus and can reasonably expect to see or hear a student or group promoting its message. Once we walk inside, we see what?

Upon entry, the Library hardly looks like a place students should want to assemble. We have a first-rate collection and staff; we should also have first-rate furniture. As students, it is our responsibility to fund what areas both affect them and need funding.

One of the hang-ups in the GSB debate on the Library chairs was the funding mechanism. The senators abided by the idea that student activi-ty fees should fund student activities. Granted, sitting in the Library lobby is not much of an activity. Summer is coming, however, and with it the time to figure out how to make this impor-tant project a reality. The devil, after all, is in the details.

Can religion, science coexist with success?

Graphic: Kelsey Kremer/Iowa State DailyColumnist Michael Glawe argues science does not empirically or quantitatively claim God does not exist, but rather science explains natural phenomenon in unbiased fashion. Leave the unbridled faith to religion, and leave the hard evidence to science.

There is some value attach-ment to sensationalism; whenever applied, it

makes the most abstract things freak out with an expression of awe or the vilest of resentment. This seemingly has worked well with the media’s interpretation of conflicts, particularly in the developing world.

The media’s (the Western world’s media) casting of events in the developing world has received great resonance with her largely abstract audience with regard to the realities of life and the extremity of conflicts in those distant corners of the world. The most current examples are the reporting on the civil disorder in Syria and the documentary on the Joseph Kony — the “crazy” militia prefect of Northern Uganda. In Kony 2012, the documentary’s sensationalism strikes a twin semblance to what makes it to the bulletin in news organiza-tions such as the CNN, BBC, Fox News, the New York Times and all other leading international news organizations.

Naturally, when the human mind is subjected to wild abstrac-tion, it chills with fright and launches in a mode that is at a loss at just how such an occurrence would be a reality on planet Earth. It is this knowledge that has seen the Western media’s successful marketing of the “crazy goings-on” from the other world. Since there hasn’t been much need to

educate the vast majority of the Western public on the humanity of such craze, events are moni-tored with the kind of removed craze — doubtful as to whether real human beings are capable of doing such. In the end, there is no real conversation on what actually feeds the passion of a person keen on “scavenging” on the other with such grandiose animosity.

That kind of mentality — the one that the Western media has helped foster within her Western audience — has served well to dial down the gravity of similar “craze” in the West. Thus, people in the West, are led to believe that their kind of hunger for instance, does not bite like the one in Mogadishu, Somalia, or Mandera, Kenya. Such misplaced lenses have led many to be unforgiving in their analysis of the lack of humanity in the developing world even in the face of natural disasters.

But anyway, such is the tragedy that has caused so many people fail to understand the situation in Syria, her current crisis and her man — Bashar al-Assad, the dictator currently orchestrating the murderous crackdown on pro-

democracy protesters.Assad, by all counts is as

human as anyone on the streets of Ames. What he does with his humanity and how it propels him to think and act is a different con-versation altogether. Last month, a cache of leaked emails from his ac-count demonstrated his very con-temporary level of humanity and laughed off our collective failure to treat him and his madness as that of an ordinary person. Some of the emails demonstrated his presence in tech-reality: He had purchased songs like LMFAO’s “I’m Sexy and I Know It” from iTunes then attached them to flirtatious love emails to his wife.

Indeed, while some of the email cache’s content verges on the realm of ridiculous, the contin-ued atrocities occurring in Syria are no laughing matter. In fact, the year-long crackdown, which has turned this once beautiful country into a socially fragmented quagmire, has reportedly killed upwards of 8,000 people. As if to add insult to injury, the emails themselves have been a slap in the face for many Syrians. While forced to hide in their homes fearing death or abduction by the dreaded Mukhabarat (Syrian secret police), they now realize just how comfortable Assad and his family have been.

Assad’s comfort in reality is also demonstrated further by the grand purchases he’s been making: in luxury items, jewelry

and designer clothing over the Internet. Oh, yes! The dictator is one of us. He does all of the normal things that we do, and we must now believe he has, just like all of us, not two pairs of hard-beating hearts, but one.

Despite the anger focused to-wards the Assad family’s frivolous use of the Syrian people’s money, the truly damning aspect of this email leak has been the realiza-tion that international attempts to isolate Assad have comprehen-sively failed. His ability to bypass these restrictive measures range from receiving military supplies from Russia and tactical advice on crushing the rebellion from Iranian intelligence heads to registering his iTunes account under a fake identity based in New York City. In fact, following the leak, The Guardian newspaper described the Assad family as so protected and disconnected from the revolt that they exist within a “gilded cocoon.”

If the West, and largely the very abstract citizens, had a chance to dial down on their abstraction and distant by-standing and blame apportioning, perhaps our under-standing of how the dictatorships are aided by the West would be well served.

Volleyball

Former ISU wrestler Jake Varner will compete on the U.S. Olympic freestyle wres-tling team after earning a spot

on the team at the Olympic Team Trials on Saturday in Iowa City.

Varner, who was a two-time 197-pound NCAA champion (2009, 10) and four-time NCAA finalist, de-

feated Tommy Rowlands in back-to-back matches to earn the berth in the 96-kilogram (211.5-pound) finals.

After losing the first pe-riod of his first match 1-0, Varner rallied off four straight

victorious periods to seal the 2-0 record in championship matches.

This makes him the 14th Cyclone to represent the United States at the Olympic Games in freestyle wrestling.

“It’s not going to stop here,” Varner told the Associated Press.

“It’s not about being an Olympian, it’s about going out and achieving your goals and

being an Olympic champion.”Since finishing his ca-

reer as a Cyclone following the 2010 season, Varner has trained as part of the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club at State College, Pa., with former ISU coach Cael Sanderson, who is now coach of Penn State.

Varner will represent the United States at the 2012 Olympic games this summer in London.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Olympic champion Henry Cejudo returned to wrestling to inspire people and try to win a gold medal with his mother in the stands in London.It did not work out as the 2008 gold medalist hoped, so Cejudo quickly called it a career.Cejudo’s comeback bid end-ed with a loss in the semi-finals of the U.S. Olympic trials Sunday. Cejudo, the freestyle champion in Beijing four years ago at 55 kilograms, fell to top-seeded Nick Simmons.The 25-year-old Cejudo removed his shoes after the loss — symbolic of a wrestler retiring — and flung them into the crowd in Iowa City.“I can honestly say I’m sad. But at the same time, I gave it my all,” Cejudo said. “I wasn’t meant to be an Olympic champion. ... For me, it was to use that plat-form to share my story and to give back. And ultimately, I’m full of peace. I’m full of joy.”Cejudo, a native of Phoenix, grew up in poverty as one of six children. Cejudo shot to fame by becoming the only American wrestler to win gold in the Beijing Games.

The ISU volleyball team got its chance at redemption against Nebraska on Saturday night, but the Cyclones could not hold on in the spring finale in a 3-1 loss.

It was the team’s last and toughest match of the spring, said coach Christy Johnson-Lynch, but Nebraska was able to set the tone early. The Huskers built off of that momentum as the match progressed and Johnson-Lynch was far from pleased at her team’s showing.

“I thought today, we backed away from the challenge,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We got tentative, made bad deci-sions, got tentative serving, so I’ve seen a much better team this spring than that, and I was just disappointed that

we didn’t really bring it tonight.”On the offensive end, Iowa State was

clicking on all cylinders. Led by Jamie Straube with 15 kills, the Cyclones fin-ished with one kill shy of the Huskers and had one less assist as well.

Straube found her rhythm early and came up with kills throughout the con-test to break some of Nebraska’s streaks and keep the games competitive.

Setter Alison Landwehr said Straube can be a game changer next season and they need to keep working on connecting and finding the best set for her. “We’ve been playing together for four years now, and she’s the type of player that I want to get the ball to and she gets after it,” Landwehr said.

Rachel Hockaday and Victoria Hurtt were not far behind with 13 kills each. The Cyclones have a handful of hitters who can step up and have big games. Straube said while everyone has their off nights, it’s good to know there are others who can come in and fill the

void.“It’s just comforting for the team

to know in a situation like that, there’s more than one option,” Straube said. The difference in the match came on the defensive end, where Landwehr said the team started to show its tenta-tive play Saturday night.

Iowa State lost the blocking battle 15.5 to 4.0, which allowed Nebraska to take control of the match offensively with the momentum built up on the other end. “There were some times when I set kind of tentative and then our hitters went up and were tipping balls or just not being real aggressive,” Landwehr said. “That’s something we all can work on.”

Whether it is a good or bad thing, improving that tentative mindset is something that does not always happen in the weight room or in practice. It is not something coaches can necessarily teach either, but Hockaday said every-one needs to have that mindset to take

chances and fire away.“I don’t know what it was tonight

but I think any time you’re faced with adversity, faced with a big block, it’s just a mindset,” Hockaday said. “You’ve kind of got to turn that on and say, ‘I’m going to go up strong and just swing away’ and see where that takes you.”

Now, the team goes into offseason mode with open gyms and workouts until play resumes in August. With Saturday night considered, Straube said the biggest thing they need to work on is putting together strings of points and starting matches strong.

It was something the team struggled to do against Nebraska and Straube said consistency will really help the team in the fall. “We’ll do really well for three, four points and then we’ll kind of get stuck in a rotation or we’ll kind of do some silly things just hitting into the block or miss a serve or something like that,” Straube said. “Come fall, I want to be point one, we’re ready to go.”

Today’s Birthday (04/23/12). It’s all coming together. Your career moves forward with optimism. Get involved in group activities that benefit others. A new direction may develop around education, spirituality or travel. Your people guide you and bless you, so appreciate them. Go outside and play.To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 7 -- Hit the books for the next two days. There’s an ease around finances, and it feels good to get immersed in studies. Allow

ideas to gel, and take notes.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is an 8 -- You’re entering a lucrative phase. Go over the numbers, and count your ducats. Put together a persuasive package, and make an enticing pitch.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) -- Today is a 7 -- You’ve got the confidence to tackle projects that once seemed intimidating. Travel is not advised today, and neither is impulsive action. Clean something.

Gas prices continue to retreatThe price of an average gallon of regular gaso-line declined for the third straight day Thursday, putting a crimp — at least temporarily — in one of the fastest and steepest runups in recent memory.

The average price fell 0.8 cent a gallon to $3.891 in the latest daily survey conducted for the motorist group AAA, after dipping to $3.899 on Wednesday. The price has fallen about 2 cents in the past week.

What: Entrepreneurs and builders of all types gather over drinks to discuss what they’re working on, what they need help with and how they can collaborate.

In the digital economy, data is becoming a commod-ity — but do you know how to find its true value?

OpenIowa, hosted by Startup Iowa, will prompt developers to do just that.

Participants will be given access to vast data-bases of city, county and state information.

They will then go on a “code-athon” to turn that data into something useful for Iowans, whether it is Web, mobile, SMS or software applications.

The event will follow a model similar to Startup Weekend, with participants pitching ideas and forming teams Friday evening, work-

ing throughout the weekend and presenting their final results Sunday afternoon.

Startup Iowa is part of the Startup America partner-ship, an initiative to connect entrepreneurs to resources and help them create jobs and value to local economies.

The Resort brings change

Campustown

As the school year is quickly coming to an end, Campustown Property Management is anticipating The Resort to begin construction in May and be ready for the use by fall 2012. The state of the art amenities The Resort will provide will serve as a social and fit-ness center for Campustown and will be located at 127 Stanton Ave.

Access to the new addition will be free to those who sign with Campustown Property Management. Some of the amenities The Resort will include are a lounge pool, two year-round hot tubs, free tanning beds, a state of the art fitness center, a lounge and an outdoor grill and fire-pit.

In addition to the amenities, The Resort has one thing that makes itself especially unique.

“One of the biggest things that sets The Resort apart is its location,” wrote Mark Zikra, leasing and marketing director of Campustown Property Management.

Because The Resort is located in the heart of Campustown, Zikra and other Campustown Property Management employees hope that it will serve as a gathering place and another option for Campustown residents to enjoy.

“No longer will the area be plagued with the bars as the only ‘social’ activity around,” Zikra said in the statement.

Zikra said that Campustown Property Management also decided to add three high quality penthouse suites to the resort. These will be located on the top floor and set aside for Campustown’s most loyal residents.

John Haila, president of the Campustown Action Association, believes that The Resort will enrich and broaden the lives of many people in the Campustown community.

“For the good of the overall area, I see it as a posi-tive step,” Haila said.

However, not everyone is excited for the new cen-ter, including the previous tenants of the white house on 127 Stanton Ave.

The house is comprised of six apartments, one of which John Fusco lived in. Fusco, junior in integrat-ed studio arts, said he had to approach Campustown after the Nine24 block party to inquire about the an-nouncement. Once he did, Campustown gave him a few options for new living arrangements.

Fusco, who went through the hassle of moving mid-year, is frustrated that his previous home is still standing although he moved out in December.

“I’m surprised they haven’t torn it down yet,” Fusco said.

Fusco described Campustown’s lack of proper

communication and use of deceptive language as the main reasons as to why the process did not run smoothly.

Overall, as construction will begin shortly, Campustown Property Management is excited to welcome this new addition to the neighborhood and give the Campustown community not only a new look, but also a convenient way to live a happy and healthy lifestyle.

“The great part about this project is that it not only benefits our residents, but it benefits the entire town,” Zikra said.
