“Grand Theft Auto V” is many things.
For starters, it’s a record breaker. In just three days on store shelves, “GTA V” blew past the $1 billion sale mark, making it the fastest selling video game of all time.
It’s also an open-world sandbox game like no other. Want to ride a bike down the coast of “GTA’s” fi c-tional California? Go for it. Want to do yoga? You can. Play tennis? No problem. “GTA V” is fi lled to the brim with activities that many play-ers will never go out of their way to experience, yet it is all there, and adds to the immersion of playing in a living and breathing world.
Finally, and perhaps most impor-tantly, “GTA V” is fi lled with brilliant and biting satire. It doesn’t pull any punches. Every aspect of modern American society is in the crosshairs.
Whether it be the game’s social networking site LifeInvader, the bum of a son who won’t look for a job and sits on his couch and plays “Call of Duty” all day every day, the fear-mongering media blast-ing over the airwaves, or even just the fact that every character in the game, even small time broke thugs, own smartphones, “GTA” takes a shot at just about anything and ev-erything that makes up American society in 2013.
Satire is the name of the game, and “GTA V’s” main narrative deliv-ers it in spades, telling a compelling crime drama on the absurdity of the idea of “get rich or die trying” and the myth of the “American Dream.”
New to the series is the ability to play as three protagonists and switch between them on the fl y.
Small-time crook Franklin is just looking to move up the social lad-der, and he’s disturbed by a friend’s willingness to do anything, includ-ing drug dealing and kidnapping, to get ahead and make a few bucks.
While repossessing a car, Franklin meets Michael, a rich ex-bank rob-

Mary Ellen Miller believes that if you enjoy your job, you should con-tinue working for as long as pos-sible. That’s why she’s spent half a century teaching at WKU.
Miller is entering her 51st year as a professor and said her passion for teaching is still very much alive.
“People talk about teacher burn-out, but I don’t think I’ve had that yet,” she said. “If I wake up one morning, dreading class, I’d call in and say, ‘Bring the [retirement] pa-pers.’”
Miller, the oldest employee at WKU, said her time as a teacher
seems surreal to her, as sometimes it doesn’t register how long she has been teaching. She said every day continues to bring pride as stu-dents turn in poems that they have spent their time on.
“No two days are alike,” she said, after explaining she could have never worked a monotonous ca-reer. “That’s something I especially
like about teaching.”Miller is from Willard and started
teaching in her twenties. She said that because she was so close in age to her students, she felt the need to refer to them as “mister” and “miss” in order to establish authority and respect.
She found that she has become

Returning bands, newcomers to rock out for a causeBY ARLA O'NEAL
You may know it as Battle of the Bands, but this year Revolution 91.7 has decid-ed to go back to the basics: Revfest.
“We want to bring cam-pus and the lovely town of Bowling Green a good rock show,” Nathan Smith, Revo-lution 91.7 station manager, said.
Revfest will be on Friday from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.
The concert is free and will be held in Centennial Mall with live music from bands like Bowling Green’s own Buffalo Rodeo and Or-lando-based Empire Theory.
Revfest is the fall fundrais-er for the radio station and all of the proceeds go to a local charity each year.
“We are college students
that are out here to make a difference,” Smith said. “You can go out and party, but we are bringing the party to you and it’s for a great cause.”
This year the proceeds from all merchandise sales will go to Rainhill Equine Facility. It is a non-profi t or-ganization that houses more than 40 disabled horses, which the owner cares for until their death, in the Bowl-ing Green area.
Karen Thurman is the owner of Rainhill and said she specializes in United States horse cruelty cases.
“Anything people can do to help others, especially animals, and think outside of their own need is a great thing,” Thurman said.
Thurman and the non-profi t are looking forward to the funds that will be raised

Fewer students this year means fewer tuition dollars, making WKU’s efforts in retaining students even more important as WKU loses out on valuable money every time a student drops out before graduat-ing.
Joelle Davis Carter, assistant vice president for Retention and Stu-dent Services, said the current fi rst-year retention rate for WKU stu-dents is at 71 percent. Carter said the retention rate is measured from a student’s freshman year to their sophomore year.
Carter said when she assumed her position a year ago, she was told to improve the retention rate by 5 percent within fi ve to seven years.
“That really gets us competitive nationally with our peer institu-tions in other places,” Carter said.
Carter said the current four-year graduation rates for WKU are at 50.3 percent, a rate that hasn’t been that high in the past 10 years.
President Gary Ransdell said the graduation rates and retention rates are correlated.
“If we had 80, 85 percent reten-tion, we’d have 60 or 70 percent graduation rate,” Ransdell said. “Just pure numbers.”
Ransdell said he was dissatisfi ed with both rates.
“We got our work cut out for us,” Ransdell said. “We’ve got pretty big challenges in raising our persis-tence in retention rates.”
Carter said there are multiple ways WKU tries to help students who are projected to not likely be retained.
One of those ways is the MAP-Works survey.
Carter said MAP-Works is a re-tention software package that con-tains a survey that is sent to all WKU

The murder of a 20-year-old WKU student off Morgantown Road on the night of Sept. 2 is currently under investigation.
Freshman Larry W. Thomas, of Bowling Green, was shot at Greenhaven Apartments, 2001 Rock Creek Road. Thomas
was airlifted to Vander-bilt Medical Center in Nashville for medi-cal attention where he later died, according to a Bowling Green Police Department press re-lease.
The incident report is still being compiled by Bowling Green Police De-partment, Ronnie Ward, pub-lic information offi cer for BGPD, said.
Thomas was en-rolled for fall classes at WKU, but was previ-ously banned by the university in the spring semester after he was arrested in Pearce-Ford Tower in Nov. 2012 for traffi cking a controlled substance and posses-
sion of drug paraphernalia, according to information re-ported in the Bowling Green Daily News.
Howard Bailey, vice presi-dent for student affairs, said the university can’t do any-thing until it makes contact with the family.
“It would not be proper for us to get out in front of the family,” Bailey said.
So far, Bailey said, the uni-versity has been unable to get in touch with Thomas’s family members.
Thomas’s aunt, Kimberly Eddie, took to Facebook to
speak about her nephew’smurder.
“My heart is broken ... fromthe lost of my nephew LarryThomas,” Eddie said in a Face-book post on Sept. 3. “Pleasekeep my family in Prayer.”
Comments from friendsand family members pouredin, many of them telling Eddiethat she and her family will bein their prayers. One Facebookcomment from Shermain

The Lady Topper soccer team enters this week’s Sun Belt Confer-ence Tournament as the No. 1 seed after claiming their second regular-season conference title last week-
end.Coach Ja-
son Neidell saidit felt great tocome out of theregular seasonon top, despite
losing their fi nal Sun Belt match against Georgia State and winning just two of their last fi ve games.
“It’s something to be excited about,” Neidell said. “I know that the last few weeks the girls haven’t been pleased with the way that they have been playing.”
WKU (8-5-5, 6-2-0 Sun Belt Con-ference) will head to San Marcos, Texas for Wednesday’s fi rst round matchup against No. 8 UALR (4-13-0, 1-7-0 SBC).
The game pits the Lady Toppers against a team they not only beat 1-0 nearly two weeks ago, but that they’ve also defeated in the teams’ last eight regular season meetings since 2006.
“We need to get back to work,” Neidell said. “Now we have a big target on our backs, so we have got to get back to work to win this con-ference tournament.”
WKU has won its last three quarterfi nal matches in the Sun Belt Tournament and holds an all-time record of 9-2-1 in the opening round.
Wednesday’s winner will ad-vance to the semifi nals on Friday. The Lady Toppers and Neidell know this place very well, having made it to the Sun Belt semifi nals fi ve times in the past six seasons. Either WKU or UALR will face the winner of the quarterfi nal matchup between hosting team No. 4 Texas State and No. 5 Troy.
The Lady Toppers have had suc-cess against both teams — they snagged a 1-0 victory against the Lady Bobcats on Oct. 6 and another

WKU’s box score after Sat-urday’s 44-28 win at Georgia State was fi lled with two names that haven’t seen the end zone in a long time. Senior running back Keshawn Simpson bar-reled for four touchdowns on 10 carries and senior fullback Kadeem Jones caught a touch-down pass.
It was the fi rst score all year for Jones and the fi rst time Simpson had seen the end zone since his two-touchdown outing against Kentucky in the season opener.
In the mix of different play-
ers making the highlights, one running back continued to put his name among the nation’s best, despite not scoring. Se-nior Antonio Andrews rushed for 110 yards on 22 carries in the Toppers’ win, putting him at fi rst in the FBS with 1,290 rushing yards on the season, 114 yards in front of Boston College’s Andre Williams. But the load was spread evenly among the WKU backfi eld.
While Andrews got the most carries, Simpson’s 10 carries
were just one more than soph-omore Leon Allen’s tally — Al-len picked up 61 yards on nine carries.
Coach Bobby Petrino and his staff are trying to fi x the re-cent ineffi ciencies they’ve had in the red zone, and spread-ing the ball around may have solved that.
“We are trying to keep (An-drews) fresher going into the fourth quarter,” Petrino said. “Not that he’s not going to get his touches, we just feel like if we can give him a series off in the fi rst quarter, a series off in the second quarter, we feel he’s going to be fresher when the

The Toppers got their fi rst taste of competition outside of practice Saturday as WKU topped Campbellsville in an exhibition game at Diddle Arena.
WKU got the win 87-73 and is set to start the regular season next Tuesday at Wichita State.
The Toppers struggled to gain any moment against the scrappy Tigers, who refused to go away. WKU needed a late 11-0 run to secure the win.
Junior guard T.J. Price, who shot just 4-of-12, said that the Toppers still need a lot of work.
“Campbellsville’s no push-over, and that’s why we sched-ule them,” Price said. “We know they’re going to give us a good look at what we really
needed.”Junior forward Aaron Ad-
eoye scored 14 points and snagged 10 rebounds off the bench in his fi rst game in front of Topper fans. The transfer, who shot 4-of-9 from the fi eld, said he hopes to earn more playing time as the season starts.
“I need to rebound, and that’s the way I’ll get playing time,” Adeoye said. “I know that — coach (Ray Harper) knows that. That’s really my job when I go in.”
Adeoye stayed on the court in the game’s fi nal moments, in part because he is a solid free throw shooter for a big man — he knocked down six of his nine attempts at the line Saturday.
Harper went to a four-guard lineup late in Saturday’s game.
He said that lineup could han-dle pressure and shoot free throws.
“Unfortunately, if you can’t make free throws, you can’t play in the last four min-
utes of a game,” Harper said. “This year, it’s going to be even

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Review your holdings, and consider your part-ner's view. It's not a good time to gamble. Nebulous schemes could tempt with smoke and mirrors. Travel's more expen-sive than it seems.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Get into home pleasures today and tomorrow. House-hold projects could lead to a party. Finish what you start. Decorate and beautify your space, then invite others to enjoy it with you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don't pour money down a hole. Your assump-tions get challenged. Conserve resources. You can do without frills and fancy rib-bons. Clarify theo-retical questions, and discover fasci-nating new technol-ogy.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Wait to see what devel-ops. Watch your step, and take it slow. Don't jump to impulsive decisions. Pay bills and keep the budget. Avoid jealousies and upset. Dance with a sur-prise without choos-ing yet.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Control your tem-per, even as those around you lose theirs. Find what you need close to home. Words come easily today and tomorrow. Write them down, and dis-tribute to your lists. Blog, record or take photos.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Go slowly, with pa-tience and a sense of humor. Keep confi -dences. Don't push or force when you encounter resis-tance, as the risk of breakage is high. Waste causes a dis-agreement, so avoid it with caution.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Stay gracious with a hot head, rather than launching a chain reaction argument. Take you time at work and get it right. Provide exactly what was ordered (not more or less).

HILLTOP HOROSCOPES
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 9 -- You're even smarter than usual. A confl ict of interests shows up at your door. Try to understand other people's feelings and it goes easier. Get outside perspectives. Keep your fi nances ethical.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is an 8 -- Imagine yourself in an earlier time. You're especially popular, but your social life could cause a problem at home. Find the perfect balance by communicat-ing your passion and acknowledging your support team.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Today is a 8 -- Female magnetism pays a big role in today's successes. Strengthen partnerships this month. Costs may be higher than expected. Proceed with caution, but you can handle it. Compro-mise, delegate and don't underestimate the power of cookies.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 9 -- At fi rst, the task may seem impossible. Look-ing at it more closely or from a diff erent angle reveals new data. Gath-er new income now. You fi nd your comfort zone, and confi dence soars.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 9 -- Participate socially this month, and get lost in fascinating philosoph-ical conversation. Others are looking to you for a decision. Once you com-mit you'll fi nd freedom, and release. And others can make their own. Perform an anonymous good deed.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is an 8 -- Be careful. For four weeks, work gets exceptionally fun. Don't get distracted while chopping. What could thrive in such a creative environment? Make a mess and fi nd out. Spend time in contemplation. Keep it practical.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 7 -- Don't throw money at the problem or you could very well make it worse. Worrying about it won't take you any-where. Use patience and brains. Defi ne how you'd like it to go. Someone fi nds that very romantic.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Today is an 8 -- Travel looks tempting, but postpone until tomorrow, if pos-sible (or just dance with some surprises). Ignore someone who says you'll fail, and make a list of goals. Plan actions and strategies to support your team.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Luscious romance takes center stage. Dance your way into the spot-light. Others give you support in your career, but you have to be will-ing to receive it. Post-pone travel for now.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is an 8 -- Finish old jobs and new ones fl ourish and spark over the next month. Pad the schedule for setbacks. Decline an expensive invitation. Listen to a wise relative or a realistic friend. Spice your creation with subtlety.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --Today is a 9 -- Don't let obstacles slow you down. Practice with your teammate to break records. Get old busi-ness handled. Th e next month is good for saving money and handling fi nances. Go for fast, fun productivity.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is an 8 -- Opposition to your ideas could arise. Th ey prob-ably have a good reason. Try their shoes on, and walk a mile, before re-sponding. At least you'll get some exercise and learn something new. Make your own choices.

While the College Heights Herald continues to be available in dozens of pick-up locations throughout the WKU campus, we will be implementing a street team distribution system in the fall that will put more copies of the Herald directly into the hands of WKU students, faculty, staff and campus visitors. This will help ensure that news and advertising content has the broadest and deepest reach possible.
