CARBON FOOTPRINT

Double or nothing in printing MIKE BRESTOVANSKYCampus Reporter@BrestovanskyM

The cost to print from university printers has effectively doubled, rising from 5 cents to 9 cents, and the discount for duplex printing has been canceled.

The increase in printing charges is because of an in-crease in the cost of maintaining a printer lab. Items like toner, ink and paper cost more, leading to an increase in charges, said Becky Grant, communications manager for OU Information Technology.

These rising costs outweigh the revenue made from printing, Grant said.

“This effectively means that we are taking money from other areas of our budget to subsidize lab printing,” she said.

The printing charges are the result of an eight-month study into the costs of printing at OU computer labs. The new model is based on historical data that will allow OU IT to break even on printing spending, she said.

“We are not looking to turn a profit on printing, just to ensure that printing revenues cover printing costs and do not take away from other, critical areas of our budget,” Grant said.

Because of the heightened costs, OU IT members have suggested students use digital submission services like

Desire2Learn or Dropbox.Last semester, OU printers managed by IT printed 1.7

million individual print jobs, said Sarah Robbins, director of public relations and strategic initiatives for OU Libraries.

This equals roughly 22 large trees worth of paper, Grant said.

Therefore, changing to a digital submission program would be cost-effective and would also lower the campus’ carbon footprint, Grant said.

While Robbins is hopeful students will take this oppor-tunity to explore paperless options, until spring statistics are available, nobody can say for sure how student behav-iors have changed.

TEDXOU

No ticket? OU has you coveredLive streaming for the TEDxOU talk available in Union at OneUMEGAN DEATON, ESCAPE Editor, @meggiejennie

PAIGHTEN HARKINS, Campus Editor, @PaightenHarkins

For students who couldn’t get tickets to this year’s TEDxOU event, a live stream will be available in Oklahoma Memorial Union.

The OneU store on Oklahoma Memorial Union’s first floor will stream the TEDxOU speakers beginning 9:30 a.m. Friday.

Viewers do not need to RSVP for the live stream event and can show up at any time during the day, according to the TEDxOU website.

Attendees had to apply for tickets, which have been sold out since early December. This year, more applicants applied than were tickets available, curator Adam Croom said in an email.

The event typically sells all available tickets, which helps fund the event in the future, Croom said.

Aside from a few small sponsorships from Student Affairs, the OneU Store and Fowler Volkswagen, the event is com-pletely reliant on ticket sales, Croom said.

“TEDxOU sheerly exists because there is a demand for tick-ets, and we wouldn’t be able to do if the community didn’t keep coming back,” Croom said.

The money from ticket sales goes to feeding attendees

ENVIRONMENT

Sooners spread green habits OU to bring experts on Panama Canal

FORUM

JAYE PELLEYCampus Reporter

The Center for the Americas at OU is holding a forum to commemorate the centennial of the first ship to sail through the Panama Canal.

The forum, called “Panama Canal: 100 Years On” will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. on Jan. 24 in Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Scholars Room.

At the event, speakers including historian Julie Greene from the University of Maryland, business scholar Noel Maurer from Harvard Business School and Panamanian architect Raisa Banfield will address environmental af-fects of having the canal, such as connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, said Alan McPherson, director of the Center for the Americas.

OU senior leads interns in teaching eco-friendly ways

Editor’s Note: Andrew Sartain is a former Daily columnist.

MATT WOODSCampus Reporter

Nineteen OU students will tackle environmental sus-tainability issues this semes-ter by crowd sourcing water conservation and expand-ing educational platforms — all while earning intern-ship class credits with the non-profit student organiza-tion, Earth Rebirth.

Interns will play an inte-gral role in Earth Rebirth’s programs, focusing on food,

water and energy educa-tion at a local level, said the group’s founder Andrew Sartain, interdisciplinary perspectives on the environ-ment and business manage-ment senior.

Interns working for the group can get one to three

hours of class credit this se-mester, Sartain said.

“Being able to offer (the in-ternships) allowed us to be appealing to people in a way that wasn’t there before, so it’s been great,” Sartain said. “Any major can do this.”

The group added interns

last semester, but that was an experimental stage. This year the interns will help achieve larger goals, Sartain said.

science interns will play an instrumental role in Earth Rebirth’s H2Ownership program, which is working to create an online self-reporting system to track waste and chemicals in Oklahoma water sources. Through public participation, the initiative is designed to show individuals how they can be in-volved in water quality issues.

Interns in the program map projects and build a water data-base, said Darren Purcell, an associate professor in the depart-ment of geography and environmental sustainability. Purcell said several students from his department interned with Earth Rebirth last semester.

“In the nine years I’ve been here as undergrad advisor and faculty member, I think it’s probably the first time we’ve had a real service-learning approach,” Purcell said.

Rather than embracing a fear-mongering approach to-ward issues plaguing water supplies, like many other water awareness programs, Earth Rebirth advances a data-driven approach, reinforcing positive lifestyle changes, Sartain said.

“You can’t change the world by telling people what they do wrong. You have to tell them how to do something better,”

Sartain said. “Otherwise, they’re just not going to listen to you.”The organization’s stance toward gradual social change

was a major draw for advertising junior Katelyn Griffith who volunteered last year, organizing cleanup crews and snapping photos in the wake of the Moore tornado.

“What I like about (Earth Rebirth) is they’re all about, like, going eco-friendly and helping the Earth, but they’re not the people just shoving it down your throat,” Griffith said. “They want to just, like, expose you to it, and show you these simple little things that you do every day that could actually be more effective than you realize.”

Currently the group needs more volunteers, Sartain said. The interns are doing a lot of work, but the nonprofit’s found-er is always looking for volunteers to help.

Purcell described Sartain as having lots of ideas and bound-less energy, reminding him of Gru, the warmhearted su-per-villain from the animated film, “Despicable Me,” who at-tempts to steal the moon.

“He just needs a small army of minions,” Purcell said, “He’s got lots of great ideas.”

breakfast, lunch and snacks as well as video production, Croom said.

Since the videos of the speakers will go online, Croom said higher quality video production is better and gives the videos more of a chance of being features on TED.com.

Melanie Maguire, economics senior and TEDxOU speaker, said she is more nervous about the event being live-streamed and saved online than she is about speaking in person.

“I love public speaking, and I love talking about economics, so it’s really a dream come true,” Maguire said. “What makes me nervous is knowing it will be videoed and knowing it will be immortalized forever on the beast that is the Internet.”

Despite this apprehension, Maguire said she’s still looking forward to the event.

Better than “Breaking Bad,” “Walking Dead,” “Downton Abbey” and arguably even

Christmas, the season of awards shows is upon us and is stealing the ratings from all other popular TV shows. Why? Because who doesn’t want to watch celebrities wear thou-sands of dollars while making a series of speeches and stupid jokes for win-ning little gold trophies? Seriously, who?

This year will mark the 86th Academy Awards show. Last year alone the Academy Awards, or the Oscars, pulled in 40.3 million viewers, according to Nielson ratings. Compare that to the one-hour NBC news spe-cial “Terror in Boston,” which aired in April 2013 about the Boston Marathon bombings, that averaged 8.9 million viewers.

It totally makes sense that Americans would rather sit through

Our View: Working for The Daily will give you a lot of different experiences.

Working for The Oklahoma Daily is a trans-formative, worthwhile experience. The University of Oklahoma is unique in that it of-fers opportunities all over campus to learn by doing, and The Daily is a prime example of just that.

If you are looking for a low-commitment ex-tracurricular to add a line to your resume, then The Daily might not be for you.

However, if you want to be able to talk to fu-ture employers about working at a national award-winning student newspaper, and an or-ganization for which you not only produce con-tent but also manage others, then come work for The Daily.

At The Daily, we believe you will gain expe-rience relevant to every discipline. The Daily offers opportunities to form long-lasting friend-ships and create news content, whether it is photos, blogs, online maintenance, columns or hard-hitting articles.

Want to take photos of break-ing-news that will help the OU community understand events? Work for The Daily. Want to interview politicians, professors, artists or even Tibetan monks for articles? Work for The Daily.

Want to have the opportu-nity to share your unique opinions and worl-dviews with the student body? Work for The Daily. Want to sit in the press box at OU foot-ball games or get down in the dirt at a baseball game? Work for The Daily.

Want to learn how to operate a website and cultivate social media skills? Work for The Daily. Want to know what it’s like to manage a team of workers? Work for The Daily.

Want to meet people who will become some of your best friends? Work for The Daily.

We can do this all day. No matter your field of study, there is a position at The Daily that is right for you. An undeniable perk of working at The Daily is that there are constant opportuni-ties for advancement and some positions even come with pay.

COLuMN

Oscars and Academy Awards are back, but what should you truly be watching?

With Sen. Tom Coburn’s recent retirement an-

nouncement, an unexpect-ed two Senate seats are up for grabs in Oklahoma this November. After a year of ongoing frustrations in the Senate and Coburn’s recent cancer diagnosis, his retire-ment comes as a surprise only because it’s a couple of years early.

“My commitment to the people of Oklahoma has al-ways been that I would serve no more than two terms. Our founders saw public service and politics as a call-ing rather than a career. That’s how I saw it when I first ran for office in 1994, and that’s how I still see it today,” Coburn said in a statement.

The senator’s initiative to only serve two six-year terms in the Senate is admirable. Rather than spending a lifetime in the Senate, rehashing the same viewpoints and be-coming increasingly fur-ther removed from con-stituents as time goes on, restricting the number of terms a congressional representative can serve, seems like a sound move, especially considering Congress’ current 13 per-cent approval rating.

Before presidential term limits had been established, Thomas

Jefferson cautioned, “If some termination to the services of the chief Magistrate be not fixed by the Constitution, or supplied by practice, his office, nominally four years, will in fact become for life.” In 1951, the 22nd Amendment limited presidents to two terms, but it ap-pears Congress needed some term limits as well.

Without imposing those same limitations upon the number of Senate terms, the U.S.’s longest-serving sena-tor, Robert C. Byrd, had spent a little over 51 years in of-fice at the time of his death. Six other senators have spent at least 40 years in the Senate, and another 17 senators have served for more than 35 years. The House, however, has the longest serving representative in Congress. Rep. John Dingell, of Michigan’s 12th district, has been in of-fice for about 58 years – a 30-term career, thus far.

When a representative’s career begins to span twenty years or more, I question how relevant their decisions are to the people they represent. Both the shifting of per-sonal convictions and disconnection from their voters over time can create a situation in which a person in a position of power could find themselves bowing to ide-ology or commerce when creating law rather than doing what’s best for the people they represent.

In a Congress that sees frequently-returning represen-tatives, an open seat offers the chance for Oklahomans to vote for a different person, a different viewpoint to represent them and hopefully improve the floundering Senate.

Additionally, the timing of the special election for the open seat will force any representatives to abdicate their current position before running for the open seat. And, as a state that has had two Republican senators for the past 20 years, an empty GOP spot should attract an inter-esting array of prospects.

With a ballot that includes the gubernatorial election as well as two senate seats, it promises to be a rare in-teresting midterm election for Oklahoma. Study up on the candidates and remember to vote this November because, in Sen. Coburn’s words, “as dysfunctional as Washington is these days, change is still possible when ‘We the People’ get engaged, run for office themselves or make their voices heard. After all, how else could a country doctor from Muskogee with no political experi-ence make it to Washington?”

Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., a longtime deficit hawk, outlines his annual “Wastebook,” which points a critical finger at billions of dol-lars in questionable government spending.

two plus hours of celebrities flaunt-ing their opulence in ostentatious attire while being awarded for their extremely hard work making movies that unquestionably change our lives, instead of watching something like the news, for example, that they might — God forbid — actually learn some-thing from.

Not to sound like I’m on a soapbox or anything, but seriously, I do not think the word priority is within our vocabularies anymore.

Pri•or•ity (n) : something that is more important than other things and that needs to be done or dealt with first.

That means that instead of spending count-less Sunday nights watching hours worth of — let’s face it — meaningless TV, maybe Americans and, more spe-cifically, college students should flip the channel over to “60 Minutes,” the History Channel or — gasp — a book. You’d be surprised what meaningful information you can glean from those outlets. And, contrary to popular be-lief, there is quite a lot of room for dis-cussion between people who read or watch the news and other sources of meaningful information.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I am not guilty of the watching the

Oscars and Grammys too, but I also make time try to read the news other than who won the award for best actor or actress in 2013. There is news to be sought out every day because import-ant things happen every day. Whether you realize it now or not, most of the things selected to be put on the news are placed there because they are es-sential and relevant to you.

As college students, you are at the height of your educational experience. Now is the time to learn and to form habits that will last the rest of your life.

Why not start a good one — such as shifting some of the time you spend on entertainment like TV, Twitter and Instagram — and use those outlets to inform yourself about pertinent information.

You’re probably more likely to be affected by the new public health care policy or the hypothetical storm that just hit the coast than what Miley Cyrus did.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 2014

You have had to fi ght hard to overcome obstacles in the past. To ease the situation in the future, you must change your whole approach. Pressuring yourself has been a major part of the problem. The simplest methods will likely lead to the highest returns in the year ahead.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Implement a clear system to prepare yourself to meet your goals. Traveling may be the best way to fi nd the information you need to move forward.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You will be bogged down with added responsibilities today. You may have to handle someone else’s fi nancial matters or estate. Get informed before making any big decisions.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will tend to react prematurely and get into trouble if you don’t listen carefully to what others have to say. Nothing will be as it fi rst appears. It’s best to wait and let others approach you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The harder you are willing to work, the better off you’ll be. Your eagerness to take on responsibility will impress someone who is searching for the right person to do an important job.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Plan to go out and have a fun and social evening. You are likely to have interactions with children, and you will be surprised what they can teach you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Family matters will probably require some damage control. Awkwardness may result from your current limitations. Make use of your resources, even though family members may not be eager to follow orders.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- While you are busy defending yourself, you are likely to uncover some extremely valuable information. Find an opportunity to take a little trip.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t let anyone impede your progress. Remain aware of past mistakes to avoid falling into the same patterns. Financial strategies should be presented carefully.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t be overtaken by your emotions. You will do well today if you can present a stable front. Take the time to further develop your creative ideas.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You will have good ideas for improving your fi nances. If you stay grounded, you will make all the right decisions. Trust your instincts, but don’t get carried away.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Restlessness will lead to personal changes. If you communicate your differences, reforms can be made fairly easily. Likeminded individuals will offer you their support.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t be aggravated if things don’t turn out your way. Putting in extra time and energy will be necessary. Change is upon you, so prepare to accept the inevitable.

Will shoot for moneyRyan GeRbosiMen’s Basketball Beat Reporter @ryangerbosi

After his first round of f inals as a f reshman in December 2011, OU guard James Fraschilla tried to find a way to fill his time after practices during winter break.

“We didn’t really get to go home for break, so I was just bored,” Fraschilla said. “All we do is practice, and that’s it.”

With the extra time in the gym, Fraschilla and his teammates began trying trick shots, leading the Dallas na-tive to turn his boredom into a good cause.

On Monday, Fraschilla released his third trick shot video for Hayden’s Hope, an organization raising aware-ness and funds for pedi-atric organ donations and transplants.

The walk-on guard shot the first video in his spare time, but received plenty of attention, thanks to shots like one from the second level of Lloyd Noble Center and another off the back of a golf cart. The first two edi-tions have been viewed over 88,000 times, surprising Fraschilla and leading him to make the videos a tradition each winter.

“I was real surprised. I had never done anything like that before. I started doing it for fun and attached the Hayden’s Hope thing to it,” Fraschilla said. “I just wanted to do it again.”

Hayden’s Hope was start-ed in 2011 by ESPN’s Dari Nowkhah, after his newborn son died after not receiving a heart transplant. Fraschilla met Nowkhah, an OU alum-nus, through his father, Fran Fraschilla, a former college basketball coach and cur-rent colleague of Nowkhah at ESPN.

“When I found out about the organization, it was really something I fell in love with,” Fraschilla said. “I put that on the first video. And when it blew up, however many hits

the video got, everybody saw the Hayden’s Hope thing.”

I n h i s s e c o n d v i d e o, Fraschilla included a mes-sage about the organiza-tion at the end. This year, he again talks about the foun-dation and includes a link for donating.

“I’m kind of trying to d o a l i t t l e b i t m o r e , so hopeful-l y p e o p l e wil l have a d i re c t l i n k to donate,” F r a s c h i l l a s a i d . “ I ’ m just trying to make a dif-ference a lit-tle bit.”

Over three videos, the walk-on from H i g h l a n d P a r k H i g h S c h o o l ha s l o o ke d a l l ov e r f o r inspiration.

“I always based my shots off Kyle Singler and my friends up at Gonzaga,” Fraschilla said. “I’ll pick other guys brains and see if they have any ideas and we see what I can do.”

While he tries to get cre-ative, not every shot can make the final cut.

“If something takes too long, we’ll kind of move on,” Fraschilla said. “We actual-ly tried shooting one off the stadium last week, and it just took too long that we had to

give up.”Still, some

are worth the wait.

“I had my o l d r o o m -m a t e , E r i c Hosek, who’s a b a c k u p kicker, kick one in and that took a real ly long time.”

This year’s v i d e o f e a -tures a guest appearance from ESPN college bas-ketball ana-

lyst Jay Bilas. A friend of the Fraschilla family, Bilas pro-vides an introduction, pro-claiming Fraschilla as “the greatest trick-shot artist of all-time.”

“I texted (Bilas) a couple weeks ago before he called our game, and he thought it

was a great idea,” Fraschilla said. “He’s a really funny guy, and I kind of gave him an idea of what to say, but he just did the Jay Bilas thing and was hilarious.”

OU quarterback Trevor Knight and his long-snapper brother, Connor, also appear in the video. Fraschilla and Knight went on a mission trip to Haiti together in May and are visiting again this year.

“I called (Knight) up, and when he got back from San Antonio, we came in here for 30 minutes and got two shots in,” Fraschilla said.

With help from Knight and Bilas, Fraschilla is hopeful he can spread Hayden’s Hope and OU basketball even more.

“People knew (Knight) before, but after that Sugar Bowl performance, I’m hop-ing that will help it blow up,“ Fraschilla said. “Football fans who may not know too much about the basketball program will get a look at our facilities, and they’ll see Trevor in it and get some exposure.”

OU prepares for last-place TCUMen’s BasketBall

Jacqueline eby/the daily

Sophmore forward Ryan Spangler goes up for an offensive rebound against No. 9 Iowa State on Jan. 11 at Lloyd Noble Center. The Sooners beat the Cyclones 87-82.

Ryan GeRbosiMen’s Basketball Beat Reporter @ryangerbosi

After starting 3-2 in conference play with two wins on the road, the Sooners will need to maintain focus to keep winning.

No. 25 Oklahoma (14-4) plays a potential trap game against TCU (9-8, 0-5) Wednesday night at the Lloyd Noble Center.

OU is fresh off a 66-64 upset of No. 12 Baylor but will need to keep its edge to avoid an embar-rassment against the last-place Horned Frogs.

TCU has been abysmal at times, shooting just 41 percent from the field this season.

“We take no team lightly,” sophomore guard Buddy Hield said. “They haven’t won a (Big 12) game yet, so I bet they’re still hungry.”

Coach Lon Kruger said the team can’t think about who is currently leading in the conference, but instead it needs to focus on the next game on the schedule.

“We’ve got to think about every game ex-actly the same way,” Kruger said. “That’s the way we try to prepare. Our practices aren’t any different for one team that’s ranked ver-sus another team that’s not.”

Senior forward Tyler Neal said that every team in the Big 12 has the talent to compete

Team won’t overlook TCU, isn’t preparing any differently

“We’ve got to think about every game exactly the same

way...Our practices aren’t any different for one team that’s

ranked versus another team that’s

not.”LoN KRugeR, Head CoaCH

any given day.“It’s the Big 12. It’s one of the better big

basketball conferences this year, and when that’s the case, each of the teams are going to be talented,” Neal said. “Even though they may not be playing well, they have the po-tential to bring it every night.”

Senior guard Cameron Clark said the Sooners must stay sharp and worry about themselves instead of the opponent.

“We’re not really looking at their record. We’re just really focused on us and doing the things we need to do to get better,” Clark said.

L a s t s e a s o n , t h e N C A A t o u r n a -ment-bound Sooners lost in their final regulation game of the season at TCU, one of only two Horned Frog wins in the Big 12. OU trailed by 25 early in the second half that game but managed to close the gap to just one with four minutes left before los-ing 70-67.

The rough end to the regu-lar season will be in the play-ers’ heads, Kruger said.

“That should get the guys’ attention,” Kruger said. “Not that we’ll dwell on that, by any means, but I think that’s

just a reminder that in this league, if we don’t play well our chances of winning aren’t very good.”

Hield said he expects TCU to be at its best in Norman.

“We went to TCU, and they had a lot of confidence and beat us last year, so we ex-pect the same confidence this year as well,” Hield said.

Modern dance performance senior Megan Storey poses for a photo on the North Oval. Storey has been dancing for nineteen years, start-ing when her mother put her in dance classes when she was 3.

Experience the art of dancing through a dancer's’ eyes

As rehearsals pound on and beads of sweat accumulate on dancers’ fore-heads, a black roller and a Tiffany

blue journal lean against a dance bag outside of the studio. The 36-inch, black foam roller is the densest of its kind. The pain it brings when massaging out tough muscles can only be found comforting to one type of dancer: the kind that just doesn’t deal with the soft stuff.

There are only two things Megan Storey, mod-ern dance performance senior, can’t go a day

without, and that black power massager is one of them. It may all be in her head, but she doesn’t care. She has to have her foam roller with her. In contrast, a spiral journal is the second thing she has not gone a day without, and it’s not because she considers herself as analytical. She needs help to think without feeling overwhelmed, and she just needs to have a place to write down her thoughts.

These are Storey’s security blankets.

Every day, dancers face harsh criticism, self-doubt and physical injury. Daily struggles can wear down any soul, making dance one of the most demanding careers. But something even stronger than an intense physical ther-apy routine and a mentally calming journal keeps Storey persevering.

On Jan. 18 of her sophomore year, Storey lost her sister to cancer. The two-year anniversary was Saturday. When dance is worship and faith, her sister is nothing short of a guard-ian angel.

In moments of doubt, Stacey faces the challenges of what to do next, she finds hope in her faith. Storey has faith that she is here for a reason and that she is a dancer for a reason and that she has suffered loss only to gain an angel who keeps her going. She doesn’t have to force motivation and feels natural discipline.

“I honestly believe that I was put on this earth to do this,” Storey said as she reflects on why she dances.

She holds herself proudly, sitting behind

a plastic tumbler, a paper coffee cup from Cafe Plaid with her curly blonde hair tied low and to the side, opposite of her stud nose ring. She finds strength in her confidence of having a purpose and believes she has been fully equipped with everything she needs to be successful as a dancer.

“I’ve never met a more dedicated performer,” said Jennifer Rader, modern dance performance sophomore. “Dance means something to Megan on a whole different level than any human being can possibly comprehend.”

Nineteen years of Storey’s life has been dedicated to

dance, ever since her mom put her in dance classes when she was 3. She has been told she was moving to music be-fore she could even walk, so her mom put her in classes as soon as she was able. She grew up dancing at the Classen School of Advanced Studies, which allowed her to declare a dance major. Between classes available at school and studio training, Storey was able to learn ballet, jazz, contemporary, modern, ballroom and even flamenco. Tap, however, is what she considered to be her forte even throughout high school.

“I can pick up on musicality much quicker than a lot of other people can,” Storey said. “I hear certain beats and rhythms in the music.”

As graduation looms, she has full intentions of thriving

as a performer and has dreams of dancing for a European company. After her performance career, she is inter-

ested in working with autistic kids with dance thera-py. In the meantime, she rehearses for the Young

Choreographers’ Showcase, which will be per-formed this Thursday through Sunday at the

Reynolds Performing Arts Center. Despite what may seem to be a demanding schedule, Storey

finds any feedback helpful and takes advan-tage of practicing her performance even

in off-stage settings. Her work ethic is in-spiring to peers who look up to Storey’s strong personality traits both on and off-stage, Rader said.

Storey was fortunate enough to grow up in a state with a university that of-fers a top dance program, and she took advantage of having that available re-source. Storey struggled as a freshman, like any student adjusting to college life would, but with time, she began to find

her direction and truly believes she has been prepared to be a successful work-

ing dancer. This is something the school of dance strives for and describes in their

mission statement.

Despite being an intensely inspired and deter-mined dancer, she is still a young college student.

She has dreams of being published. She bakes signature cupcakes. She helps clean a local yoga studio in exchange

for classes. She loves late night Food Network shows. She loves her family. But above all else is her extraordinary love for the life she finds in dance.

“It is rare to find that much talent, true humility and kind-ness in a person in this art form,” said Emily Oliver, modern dance performance junior, about her peer.

At a glance, you may see a dancer with strength in musi-cality, strong grounding and passion for modern contempo-rary styles, but know that she is driven by something greater than herself. As someone who claims to have no memories before dance, for Megan Storey, dance is life.
