University of Memphis to host GoPro Film Festival

By Mia Hairston

News@dailyhelmsman.com
The University of Memphis
FedEx institute, along with Indie
Memphis and Fuel Film, is bringing
the first GoPro Film Festival to campus on Oct. 2.
Over the summer, U of M students and the community were asked
to employ the versatility of GoPro
cameras and create a film, 10 minutes or less, showcasing their summer experience.
The Summer Experience is about
just that. I wanted to capture, in the
best way possible, what can happen
during just one summer, finalist Sam
Campman said. The experience of
that few months, making memories
and living life. I was hoping to capture the emotions I felt throughout
the summer. From the adrenaline of
skydiving to the relaxation of coasting along the Wolf River.
Campmans film along with three
others (Skate is Life by Kevin Brooks,
Ocean Front Dream by Nicole
Robbins, and Brazil 2015 by Hannah
Williams) were selected out of 30
plus submissions as the finalists for
the GoPro Film Fest.
We asked for submissions starting in May and we invited not only
University of Memphis students but
the Memphis community to submit
films which highlighted the technology and capabilities of the GoPro
camera for film making specifically, Cody Behles, the master mind
behind the festival, said. We see

The Universirty of Memphis will host its first GoPro Film Festival on Oct. 2. The videos featured were filmed by people in the community during this summer.
GoPros being used for action settings, and we wanted that, but we
also wanted to see people use them
for film making purpose.
To enter into the festival, participants had to email the FedEx
Institute of Technology. They later

had to upload their film to YouTube

and e-mail the link to the FedEx
Institute of Technology.
The hardest part for contestants
was not submitting their film but
compiling all of their shots into one
concise project.

The process of editing this film

was a little difficult because of the
fact we shot so much footage over
the course of three days, said finalist
Kevin Brooks. I really just wanted
to use shots that capture the beauty
of skateboarding and that created a

rhythm and pacing where you never

get tired of what youre watching on
the screen. Especially, in this day and
age that because of the way our attention spans work, its better to keep it

NASA scientists reveal discovery of water on Mars

By Maren Machles

Scripps Howard Foundation

WASHINGTON NASA finally
has the answer to one of its greatest
questions: Is there water on Mars?
The answer is yes.
Scientists revealed at a press
conference Monday that recurring slope lineae, or RSL, streaking
downhill on Mars indicates flowing
water.
Alfred McEwen, a professor of
planetary geology at the University
of Arizona, who was on a phone
call during the news conference,
said forming the RSL would take 26
million gallons of water.
The streaks change color during seasons, with darker streaks
appearing during warmer periods
(minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit) and
lighter ones during cooler times.
They are made up of hydrated salt
minerals, which the research says
lowers the freezing point of a briny
liquid.
From the Curiosity Rover, we
now know that Mars once was a
planet very much like Earth, with
warm, salty seas, with freshwater
lakes, probably snow-capped peaks,
and clouds and a water cycle, John
Grunsfeld, associate administrator
for the Science Mission Directorate
at NASA headquarters, said. But
something has happened to Mars
that it has lost its water.
Jim Green, director of planetary
science at NASA headquarters, said
the discovery has not answered the
question of whether there is life on
Mars, but it is a step in the right
direction.

PHOTO COURTESY OF NASA

A Infrared-red-blue/green image of streaks across Mars indicates the presence of water.

This is tremendously exciting,
Green said. We havent been able
to answer the question does life
exist beyond earth, but following
the water is a critical omen of that.
We now have, I think, great opportunities to be in the right locations
on Mars to thoroughly investigate
that.
This discovery has narrowed the
locations of interest on Mars to
determine if there may be life or
the possibility of it on the planet.
Those requirements are water to
drink, oxygen to breath, perchlo-

rates for rocket fuel, and carbon

dioxide and nitrogen the two
elements that Grunsfeld said are
crucial for living.
We will send humans in the
near future to Mars, Grunsfeld
said. There will be scientists looking for signs of life, and also to be
able to live on the surface. And the
resources are there.
Michael Meyer, lead scientist for
the Mars Exploration Program at
NASA headquarters, said NASA
plans to make an unmanned trip by
2020 to take samples from Mars and

analyze them to see if there are any

signs of ancient life.
He said one of the biggest challenges of finding other forms of
life is that we only know what our
lifeforms look like. A major step in
finding out if there is or ever was
life on Mars is to bring back these
samples to test and provide context
for the possibility of life on Mars.
We are looking for life on Mars,
Meyer said. We are taking a very
measured approach to it, because
in many ways, we dont know what
exactly to look for.

green thumbs. It will also feature
innovative initiatives in recycling, public health, urban gardening and architecture.
I try and do my best when
it comes to staying green, Mary
Hutchinson, an education major,
said. Its really good to see
that Memphis is making strides
toward a more hospitable area
when it comes to being environ-

mentally friendly.
One of the activities held
this year will be a Bike to
Campus Day. There will be a
group of peddlers meeting up
at First Congregational Church
in Cooper-Young at 8 a.m. and
arrive at the Student Plaza by 8:30.
Theyll ride from the CooperYoung area straight to campus
in a way to promote cycling as
a clean source of transportation.
I bike around campus all the
time, Joey Oswald, a nursing
major, said. Its great exercise
and its a great way to get around

mention its better than driving
a car.
Along with booths and exhibits
by the U of M and its community
partners, the public event, which
has been organized by the U of
Ms Center for Biofuel Energy
and Sustainable Technologies,
will feature entries in the Green

Drug oenders argue against mandatory minimum sentences

By Maren Machles

Scripps Howard Foundation

WASHINGTON It wasnt
until she was pregnant with her
daughter that Barbra Scrivner
was able to ween herself off of
meth at the age of 26.
At about that time, her heroin-addicted husband, Richard,
was jailed for drug-related
offenses. Drowning in bills
and forced to quit her job to
take care of her child, Scrivner
res or te d to s el ling sma l l
amounts of methamphetamine
for her husbands friends.
Af ter he was rele as ed,
Richard became a major drug
distributor. S crivner kicked
him out. But the legal system eventually caught up with
them. Previous run-ins with the
law and her refusal to testify
against others landed Scrivner
a 30-year prison sentence.
On Dec. 17, President Barack
Obama granted S crivner a
commutation; she was released
on June 15 20 years after her
sentencing and now lives in
Fresno, Calif.
Scrivners story not unique.
Men and women across the
country have been given mandatory minimum sentences for
small-scale, nonviolent drug
violations, making them miss
decades of their lives.
S crivner, 49, and three
other women told their stories Tuesday at a Capitol Hill
briefing sponsored by Families
Against Mandatory Minimums
and the American Conservative
Union Foundation.
Mandator y minimum sentencing laws, initially enacted
under the Reagan administration, require judges to sentence
defendants to prison for a minimum number of years.
When p eople think of
kingpins, they rarely think of
women, but women are often
given kingpin-size sentences
for their minimal involvement
in a boyfriend or husbands
drug activities, Molly Gill,
government affairs counsel of
Families Against Mandator y
Minimums, said.
Four women whose stories
about mandator y minimum
sentences were told at the program, sold and used drugs with
their husbands or boyfriends.
S crivner said her husband
abused her and pressured her
to sell drugs when he was in
jail.
His friend had sent his girlfriend to come over and give
me an ounce of dope, and I
said, Oh well, thats not going
to pay my bills, and then I
thought, well, you know what?
It is, she said.
Debi Campbell, 58, said she
was selling just enough drugs
to pay her bills and get high for
free with her husband. She was
sentenced to 19 years and seven
months in prison for selling 10

kilograms of meth.
Gill said mandator y minimum sentences havent worked
to keep people out of the prison
system because of the lack
of certainty that they will get
caught.
None of these four people
will claim that they are innocent, none of them will say that
they didnt deser ve punishment, but all four wanted and
deserve what they did not get,
which was a punishment that
fit the crime, Julie Stewart,
president of Families Against
Mandatory Minimums, said.
The briefing was to raise
awareness about mandator y
minimums and two bills to
change the system: the SAFE
Justice Act and the Smarter
Sentencing Act.
The SAFE Justice Act safe,
accountable, fair and effective
introduced in June, would
increase spending on research
to improve the federal sentencing and corrections system.
Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., a
cosponsor of the bill, promised
it will change the politics that
took place when mandator y
sentencing laws were passed
and will pay for itself by reducing recidivism through better

probation, focusing more on

violent criminals and reducing overcrowding in prisons through alternatives to
incarceration.
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, is
the sponsor of the Smarter
Sentencing Act, which would
restore leeway to judges to
impose more suitable sentences
for nonviolent drug offenders.
The bill is projected to save $4
billion over 10 years, according
to the Congressional Budget
Office.
Now, Im not here to say
that ever y minimum mandator y penalty is always bad,
but in many instances, weve
overdone it. Weve overdone it
severely, Lee said.
Ne arly ha lf of fe dera l
inmates were convicted of
drug offenses, according to the
Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Susie Kimble, 66, spoke
about her daughter, Melissa
Trigg, who is serving a mandatory minimum sentence of 15
years.
Ive been on a downward
spiral since then, Kimble said.
I just kept thinking, Shes
never going to get out, shes
never going to get out, shes
never going to get out.

Kimble and Trigg put in a

petition for her commutation
and hope Trigg will be out by
December.
I havent had a Christmas

tree since she went in.

Kimble said she hasnt celebrated Christmas without her
daughter, but hopes to if she
gets out.

Miller time arrives in Memphis

The University of Memphis

Wednesday, September 30, 2015 7

By Omer Yusuf

sports@dailyhelmsman.com
Anthony Miller has waited
two years to play in the Memphis
Tigers Blue and Gray jersey, and
so far this season has made the
most of his opportunity.
The redshirt sophomore out of
Christian Brothers High School
leads the Tigers in receiving
yards with 268 after his breakout performance in Memphis
53-46 win against the Cincinnati
Bearcats last Thursday night. He
recorded five catches, 156 yards,
and an impressive catch and run
82-yard touchdown.
Coach Fuente said, Big time
players make big plays in big
time games, Miller said about
his touchdown after the win. I
had to get my team on my back
and make the play.
Miller was expected to play
a significant role last season
after redshirting in 2013, but
broke his shoulder in the 2014
preseason and thus missed the
Tigers incredible 2014 season.
A season that saw Memphis win
10 games for the first time since
1938, and win a tri-share of the
American Athletic Conference,
their first conference title since
1971.
Though he had a slow start
to the season, Miller has gotten
more involved in the offense
as the season has progressed.
After his one-catch, five-yard
performance in the opener
against Missouri State, Miller
has recorded 11 catches for
263 yards and that touchdown
against the Bearcats in his last
three games.
Miller is far from the only

Miller said he is aware his role

can change from a week-to-week
basis.
Really my role is doing anything to help the team win, he
said. If I get 150 yards, okay

I get 150 yards, but if we dont

win it doesnt mean anything.

any moment. Im just blessed to

achieve what I think I got 156
yards. Im just blessed to get
there.
The redshirt sophomore
arrived to the University of
Memphis from CBHS in 2013
as the Purple Waves all-time
leading receiver after he caught
100 passes for 1179 yards in his
four years with CBHS. He was
also named to The Commercial
Appeals Best of Preps list for
football in his junior and senior
years.
Being a native Memphian,
Miller said he understands
how far the Tiger football program has come in the past two
seasons.
I mean we came from nothing, Miller said. If you look
back at our program a couple of
years we were terrible, and so
that feeling is just great. Its just
a great feeling that all of this
hard work is paying off. This
program is really being put on
the map.
After such a long road to get
just to this point in his career,
Miller said he has been blessed
to be given the opportunity hes
received.
Ive been through a lot,
Miller said. Its taken me two
years just to get to this point.
Ive worked so hard, and all of
this hard work is finally paying
off.

Mens soccer hopes for season turnaround after ending goal drought
By Austin Reynolds

sports@dailyhelmsman.com
S atu rd ay e ve n i ngs h om e
c o nt e s t a g a i n s t t h e U C F
Knig hts (3-3-1, 0-0-1 AAC)
b e g an mu c h l i ke t h e re s t
of t he s e a s on h a s for t he
University of Memphis mens
soccer team. The team entered
the game 0-5-1 on the season,
with no goals scored in more
than f ive games, and when the
Knights put the ball in the
back of the net for the second
time in the 53rd minute, the
outcome looked grim.
But t his t ime was dif ferent for t he Tigers, and t he
team struck twice within six
minutes af ter not doi ng s o
onc e i n more t han 5 8 8 to
le vel t he game and e ventua l ly w a l k aw ay w it h a 2 - 2
draw. Now, with a home game
a g a i n s t C e nt r a l A r k a n s a s
(1-7) Wednesday evening, the
team has a chance to build
some real momentum for the
f irst time all year before conference play ramps up.
In a couple games the energ y is just sapped out of you,
coach Richard Mulrooney said
about the teams reaction to

going down early in a match.

My f irst instinct after they
got the second goal was how
are our guys going to respond
to this? The guys responded
well. I couldnt have asked for
a better response, and obviously it sor t of shook the beehive a little bit.
T h e t wo Me mph i s go a l s
came off of assists by Tiger
f re sh man m i d f i el d e r Mas on
Morise, who put the ball across
the goal for Jacob Krupp for
the first goal in the 61st minute, and then whipped in a
cross at the far post for R aul
Gonzalez who put it in the
back of the net seven minutes later. Morise scored the
Tigers f irst goal of the season
against UAB on Aug. 28, and
has been involved in all three
of Memphis goals this season.
The draw came in the Tigers
f irst home contest since Aug.
31, and gives the team a draw
to star t the American Athletic
C onference s chedule af ter a
non-conference slate that saw
the team go winless with only
one goal in six matches.
B efore
the
conference
g am e s re s u m e , t h e Ti g e r s
will play C entral Arkansas at

home at 7 p.m . We dne s d ay

evening at Mike Rose S occer
C omplex, and its an excellent opportunity for the team
to finally earn its first win of
the season. UCA is only 1-7
on the season with some of
the losses coming by massive
s core lines, such as an 8-1
loss to Incarnate Word and a
5-0 loss to the University of
Mar yland Baltimore C ounty.
Were not fools here We
know we dont have a win in
t he column yet, but hav ing
s ai d t hat I a ls o k now t hat
UCA is seeing us as not having
a win either, Mulrooney said.
Looking at their results, they
might be a little bit unfortunate, but you could look at
ours and say the same thing.
B ottom l i ne is we have to
respect the opponent tomorrow night, come out and yes,
its a game that were not looking to tie, its a game that we
need to get a result.
T h e U C A g a m e re pre s ents w hat cou ld b e a pivot a l mome nt i n t he s e as on
for Me mph i s . Wit h a w i n
the Tigers would be entering
t he bu l k of t he c on fe re nc e
slate with two draws, a win

and a loss on the road to a

nat iona l ly ran ke d L ouisv i l le
team in their last four games.
However, if the Tigers were
to drop the game, or worse,
lose without scoring a goal,
some of the conf idence gained
from the UCF draw could be
l o st as t he te am e nte rs it s
most important stretch of the
season.
A w i n t om or row n i g ht
would give us a lot of conf i de nce going into UC onn,
Mulro oney said. I wouldnt
say that if we were to take a
tie or a loss that wed fold and
just wrap it up for the season,
but as we saw the other night
with just that tie you can see
how t he c on f i d e nc e bu i l ds ,
and I can only imagine how
high its going to get if we
were to get a win tomorrow
night.
A f t e r p l ay i n g U C A t h e
Ti ge rs re tu r n to t he ro a d,
w h e re t h e y l l pl ay U C on n
( 3 - 2 - 3 , 0 - 1 - 0 A AC ) O c t . 3
before returning home to play
a dangerous SMU squad (5-22, 1-0-0 AAC) four days later.
