Singaporersquos First Premier Lee Kuan Dies at 91

Lee Kuan Yew the first prime minister and important political figurehead of Singapore since the countryrsquos inde-pendence in 1965 died Monday at the age of 91

ldquoMr Lee passed away peacefully at the Singapore Gen-eral Hospitalrdquo the announcement from the Prime Ministerrsquos Office said ldquoArrangements for the public to pay respects and for the funeral proceedings will be announced laterrdquo

Mr Lee led Singaporersquos transition from British colonial rule to democracy in 1965 after first joining Malaysia in 1963

As the leader of the Peoplersquos Action Party which was responsible for guiding the transition he won election as the first prime minister of the fledgling democracy Mr Lee remained prime minister for 25 years before handing over leadership in 1990 after which he moved into the advisory role of senior minister

Mr Leersquos style of government was often criticized for its authoritarian characteristics including suppressing free-dom of speech and limiting public assembly but was also a rare example of pragmatic and incorrupt government in the region

Singapore has since become an economic powerhouse and a vital center for international finance and business Mr Lee often described Singapore as a ldquoFirst World oasis in a Third World regionrdquo

Germanwings Co-Pilot Responsible for Plane

Crash in France

A Germanwings co-pilot deliberately crashed his plane into the French Alps Tuesday according to French officials The plane was en route to Duumlsseldorf Germany from Barce-lona Spain was carrying 150 people who all died in the crash

Investigators initially thought that the crash was an ac-cident before recovering the planersquos voice recorders The cockpitrsquos voice recorders captured the last minutes of the flight during which the captain could be heard pleading for the co-pilot to open the door

Andreas Lubitz the co-pilot identified by French inves-tigators reportedly locked the captain out of the cockpit before taking control of the plane Mr Lubitz was initially talkative but became ldquolaconicrdquo in the words of French in-vestigators during the middle of the flight

In the final moments before the crash the captainrsquos pleas to return to the cockpit became more frantic and shouting could be heard coming from the passenger section The voice recorder revealed normal breathing in the cock-pit indicating that Mr Lubitz was aware of his actions

The investigation is likely now to turn from the crash itself to focus on Mr Lubitz and his mental state before the crash A similar incident happened in 1999 when an EgyptAir flight crashed in the Atlantic Ocean after it was determined that the co-pilot deliberately crashed the plane

Situation in Yemen Worsens as Saudi Arabia

Starts Air Strikes

Saudi Arabia and a coalition of other nations started military operations in Yemen Wednesday to halt the ad-vance of Houthi rebels who have taken control of large swaths of the country

Saudi Arabia joins nine other countries in launching air and ground operations in the country The operations are largely seen to secure the long border the nation shares with Yemen Reports from previous weeks said that Saudi Arabia had been amassing troops along the border

The situation in Yemen has continued to deteriorate after Iranian-backed Houthi rebels pushed into the south-ern half of the country forcing President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi to flee the capitol The presidentrsquos wherea-bouts are still unknown

Yemen is also in the midst of dealing with an active campaign by an offshoot of al Qaeda called al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula The region has become the focus of American counterterrorism operations including drone

Students have expressed concern and confusion over work that began this week on improvements being made to Lost Creek the stream that runs along the Student Recreation Center (SRC)

The Indiana Department of Trans-portation (INDOT) are making the im-provements as part of the local IN641 by

-pass project focusing on mitigating the effects of the by-pass on the local water-shed Particular changes include reno-vating the embankments stream path and the flow of the stream with particu-lar attention paid to reducing erosion

Jacob Campbell Director of Envi-ronmental Health and Safety informed students faculty and staff of the project and the disruption to campus as INDOT works on the improvements This was the first time that students were notified of the changes that were to be made to campus

What students were not informed of are the substantial changes being made to the campus Work began by cutting down many of the trees that line the stream including trees between the Apartment Residence Halls and the SRC parking lot Trees along the stream be-hind Cook Stadium have also been marked for removal

Concerned students have questioned why the project has required so many trees to be removed for making improve-ments to the stream

ldquoWhen I first saw all the tree stumps I was a little shockedrdquo freshman Jane Sahabu a member of the Home for Envi-ronmentally Responsible Engineers (HERE) program said ldquoIt seemed to me counterintuitive to remove trees that help stop soil erosionrdquo

Students were also upset at the cost

of chopping down trees that are a part of the scenery on campus

ldquoI am not excited about the changes being made to campusrdquo freshman me-chanical engineer Dan Engstrom said ldquoI think wersquore going to lose a lot of the beauty of the campus and future stu-dents are going to lose out as a result of itrdquo

Although some students were con-fused as to why the improvements were being made civil engineering students are acutely aware of the case for making the improvements ldquoAlthough I hate to see them cut down the trees the im-provements are necessary to improve the water quality of the watershedrdquo jun-ior civil engineer Isaac Gehman ldquoThe project is really about meeting state re-quirements for maintaining the water-shed and improvements to Lost Creek should do sordquo

Students with more knowledge on the subject have suggested that the costs are outweighed by the benefits Another civil engineering student junior Gene Kum corroborated Mr Gehman rsquos state-ment adding that the ldquobanks have been unstable and the trees are nonnative and a pestrdquo Mr Kum also said that ldquotheyrsquore doing it for a reasonhellip it might actually help the creekrdquo

The main issue for those upset is the lack of information available to students about the work being done With a weekrsquos notice and a short email about the closing of the road behind the Hul-man Memorial Student Union students were caught off guard when they saw

entire rows of trees being cut down Students are eager for answers about how this program is going to affect the campus whether or not administrators will respond is the question that needs to be answered

SWERY is one strange

Japanese man Developer of

the cult classic ldquoDeadly

Premonitionrdquo SWERY has

been picked up by Microsoft

Studios to release his latest

work ldquoD4 Dark Dreams

Donrsquot Dierdquo on Xbox One

The player takes control

of David Young a private

detective who was once a

cop He left the force after

the death of his wife a case

that he is still trying to solve

Suffering from amnesia of

the day of her death David

only remembers her last

words ldquoLook for Drdquo This

being the only hint David

must look for ldquoDrdquo and solve

who killed his wife In the

process he is proving that

he is not D (his name is Da-

vid after all)

ldquoD4rdquo takes elements

from classic adventure

games newer classics from

TellTale Games and a buck-

et full of Japanese craziness

to craft something entirely

unique The game was de-

signed for Kinect though I

opted for playing with the

controller Pointing is the

main gameplay mechanic I

can see how that would work

great with Kinect and by all

accounts the game seems to

be one of the better Kinect

experiences available on

Xbox One You explore the

environment looking for

clues and talk-

ing to suspects

There are a lot

of different in-

teractions with

characters and

dialogue trees

similar to Tell-

Tale rsquos ldquoThe

Walking Deadrdquo

But the key to

this game is how

SWERY has

translated the mechanics to

be distinctly Japanese For

example rather than just

talking to people you have

the option to push them

eliciting different types of

conversations

ldquoD4rdquo has an intriguing

story The world is odd

which played a part in hav-

ing me on the edge of my

seat the entire time Charac-

ters are incredibly original

and interesting They donrsquot

follow typical archetypes

that tend to be played out

For example one character

is a cat lady but not the kind

of cat lady you think she

literally thinks she is a cat

She wears a bow and has a

collar She even chases mice

and meows Incredibly weird

characters like this made

every interaction in the

game interesting and fun I

kept moving through the

plot and talking to everyone

just to see what they would

say or do next

The game takes place in

Boston but it is clear that

the designer of the game

SWERY has absolutely no

idea what Boston is actually

like or how people in Boston

actually talk They have long

conversations about Boston

foods such as clam chowder

It shows that SWERY knows

that they are known for it

but itrsquos so blunt and lasts so

long that it just comes off

that SWERY clearly has no

idea And why should he

He is a Japanese game de-

signer who visits the

United States a few

times a year at most

He may not have even

been to Boston All of

this sounds like I am

ragging on the game

but in reality all of the

oddities that SWERY

brings to the world

really makes the game

If this was a straight-

forward mystery game

set in Boston it would be

super boring Seeing how

SWERY tries to translate

what he knows about the

United States into a story

and misses the point so of-

ten is a highlight because it

is so hilarious You never get

mad about the misunder-

standings It just so appeal-

ing in an odd way that you

want to learn about the crazy

alternate Boston this mad-

man has crafted

My only real complaint

about ldquoD4rdquo is that the game

has a pointless energy sys-

tem You have to keep eating

or else David will pass out

from exhaustion But the

simplest things drain a ton

of energy Every time you

talk it takes off one percent

off the meter and something

as simple as moving a table

takes around 15 percent

This leads to tons of food

being available in the envi-

ronment even if it makes

absolutely no sense For ex-

ample part of the game

takes place on a plane I was

running low on energy and

found an entire hamburger

and fries dinner along with a

drink in the overhead bin

That is insane Though one

could say this adds to the

charm of the game I found

it to be more frustrating

ldquoD4rdquo is a solid game for

Xbox One Itrsquos definitely not

a typical experience and has

quite a few quirks but at its

core the game is just a fun

time and is totally worth

checking out

Like most PC users I love Steam

sales There is always the temptation

to grab a game for a ridiculous bar-

gain and sometimes itrsquos just too

good to pass up Such was the case

with the recent 2K anniversary sale

last weekend Included in that was

ldquoSid Meierrsquos Civilization Beyond

Earthrdquo and ldquoSid Meierrsquos Starshipsrdquo

ldquoBeyond Earthrdquo is the next in-

stallment in the extremely popular

and extraordinarily addictive Civili-

zation series which tasks players

with raising a civilization one city at

a time The big change with this new

game is that as the title suggests

you are not on

earth anymore

and are instead

colonizing an

a l ien wo rld

Gone are the fa-

mous historical

figures like Attila

the Hun Alexan-

der the Great

and the nuclear

warmonger Ma-

hatma Gandhi

The basis for this

colonization is

grounded in the

ldquoGreat Mistakerdquo

some kind of

global cataclysm

that made the

entire Earth un-

livable In the

chaos that fol-

lowed new pow-

ers began to

emerge some

fusions of exist-

ing countries we

know today

some radically

different Notable examples include

the American Reclamation Corpora-

tion a corporation that literally

bought America from the US gov-

ernment Polystralia consisting of

Australia and the pacific islands and

the Slavic Federation the USSR

reborn

The basics of the gameplay have-

nrsquot changed too drastically in the

jump to the far reaches of the uni-

verse but there are some notable

new features that may excite (or con-

fuse) veteran Civilization players

Most of the Civilization staples are

still present some with more tweaks

than others The barbarians have

been replaced with the native life

forms of the new world and the

technology tree is no longer linear

but rather a large nonlinear web for

researching new technology

The biggest addition is the Affin-

ity system Almost every action you

take in game from researching to

exploration adds to one of three Af-

finity levels Purity Harmony and

Supremacy Each of these can

change the game in new and exciting

ways

Purity stems from the age-old

belief that humanity is better than

any species it could come across in

this case that would be the native

ldquoalienrdquo(since you are technically the

alien on this world) life Purity soci-

eties attempt to stay as ldquoEarth-likerdquo

as possible using mech-suits and

domes to keep themselves isolated

from the new world

Supremacy strives to improve

humanity in any way possible most

often through advanced robotics and

cybernetics They replace everything

with sleek robotic designs and even-

tually rely on combat robots and un-

manned vehicles to fight their bat-

tles

A Harmony society accepts the

new surroundings and attempts to

coexist with the native life It strives

to be at one with the new ecosystem

even genetically modifies itself to

adapt to the ecosystem and eventu-

ally can create its own versions of the

native life

The game plays exactly like any

other Civilization game before it

although this game succeeds in cre-

ating an atmosphere of wonder and

overwhelming naiveteacute as you venture

out into the unknown Most of that

stems from the minimal tutorials

and the large scope of the lands It

takes much longer to explore this

new frontier the native lifeforms are

more numerous than barbarians ever

were and they can quickly over-

whelm you without much notice

The new tech trees are generally con-

fusing and itrsquos hard to understand

why interstellar travelers have to

research Physics again I am looking

forward to playing this game a lot

then seeing what crazy mods the

community will come up with

If you have gained the confidence to ask

your crush out congratulations for having

the courage to do so in the first place If they

said yes itrsquos time to start planning the big

first date Most of you have your ideal date

scenario in mind but just in case yoursquore a bit

lost I have several tips that can help you

Before you go out do some research on

what your crush is interested in Are they

into movies sports nature or other hob-

bies If you both have something in common

or some common activity the two of you want

to try go for it

Do not take that person to something that

you like and they will hate You want the

date to be enjoyable for the both

of you not just the one

The conversations held on a

date are one of the most im-

portant parts Make it the goal of

the date to get to know the other

person better If the conversation

focuses on you too much try to

shift it over to the other person

Listen closely when your crush

is talking and be ready to respond

with a follow-up question One

word responses are the gateway

to awkward pauses which should

be avoided

Always maintain confidence

Do not ask questions like ldquohow do

you think the date is goingrdquo or

ldquoare we a good matchrdquo These

questions make you appear insecure in your

date planning skills as well and can ruin the

date quickly Just remember that you asked

the person out and they said yes

Last week it felt like spring was starting

to come around This week however the

weather has been nothing but the ghost of

winters past Who knows when the weath-

er will start to stabilize Until then

here is a list of things to keep

you occupied during this tumul-

tuous purgatory between spring

and winter

The one task that is somewhat easier to

complete during this limbo season is

homework The only things that can dis-

tract you are inside activities When you

finish watching your favorite

show or playing a game you can

try to start homework When

spring comes around the temp-

tation to procrastinate will be

even stronger as you will have

distractions both inside and out

Try to take advantage of these

rainy brisk days to train yourself

to power through the homework

because the temptation to blow it

off during the warm months will

be twice as high

While the weather is still cold

take advantage of the main com-

modities of fall and winter

sweaters and warm drinks This

is the last time to experience this

sweater weather so to speak As

soon as spring rolls around the

sweaters go away

Additionally your craving for

warm beverages midday general-

ly will subside when those 80-

degree days roll around Start

thinking of a cold midday caf-

feinated drink substitute for

spring and summer months be-

cause the weather could change

in the blink of an eye

Another thing to take care of

during spring is your car Now is

a great time if you havenrsquot al-

ready to get your car washed and

clean it out for those spring

drives Before you take a day trip

to Indianapolis or another big

city be sure to get your tires

filled with air Though itrsquos a

chore your wallet will thank you

when you save on gas

I for one am very impatient and

cannot wait for spring to get started

However though the weather is

still gloomy there are plenty of

things to enjoy and do during

this unusual time

Ah pasta a food that most of

us have become experts of in col-

lege A particular favorite is

macaroni and cheese For the

limited amount of time we get

for cooking here are two recipes

for quick and on-the-go mac and

cheese

These recipes can get you out

of the kitchen quickly and back

to doing what you need to do to

survive Rose-Hulman

If you need to grab food on the

go these mac and cheese muf-

fins go where you go

2 cups cooked warm elbow mac-

aroni pasta

1 tablespoon butter

1 beaten egg

1 cup milk

1 frac12 cups shredded sharp ched-

dar cheese

1 frac12 cups shredded mozzarella

cheese

frac12 cup seasoned dry bread

crumbs

2 teaspoons olive oil

frac12 teaspoons olive oil

Preheat the oven to 350 de-

grees Grease a muffin pan and

mix together the bread crumbs

olive oil and salt in a bowl

In another bowl stir in the

butter and egg until the pasta is

evenly coated Stir in one cup of

cheddar cheese Add the milk

mozzarella and cheese into the

pasta and transfer the mixture to

the muffin tin Top the

muffins with the cheddar

cheese and breadcrumb

mixture

Bake the muffins for

30 minutes in the oven or

until the toppings are

nicely browned Once

done allow the muffins to

cool in the pan before re-

moving them

By allowing them to

cool in the pan the

cheese has time set and

the muffins will hold

their shape

If you do not have the time

to make muffin-sized pasta

and are lacking those instant

macaroni cups this quick

macaroni recipe will get you

fed and back to work

13 cup pasta

frac12 cup water

frac14 1 milk

frac12 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Add the pasta and water in a large

mug or bowl Microwave the pasta

and water for two minutes and

stir several times

Place the cup or bowl in the

microwave for another two to

four minutes stirring at each

two-minute interval The pasta

should cook through but if it

doesnrsquot add another teaspoon of

water and microwave for another

minute

Remove the mixture from the

microwave and stir in the milk

and cheese Microwave for an-

other minute and stir The pasta

is ready to eat

As residents of the Apartments

East Residence Hall my roommates

and I enjoy the relaxation of cooking

our own dinner most nights Because

of this our kitchen is a very im-

portant part of our experience here

at Rose and so far it has served its

purpose reasonably well

There are minor issues like the

stove hood not actually venting any-

where except back in your face but

the stove hasnrsquot broken the oven

hasnrsquot broken the fridge has broken

and the sink hasnrsquot broken yet With

that said taking a closer look at each

part of the kitchen reveals more

The kitchen island is a fairly

standard layout with a sink in

the middle and bar seating on

the opposite side

This is where your main

counter space is probably going

to end up if yoursquore anything like

my roommates and have a micro-

wave a coffee maker or any oth-

er appliance normally kept on

the counter

To this end the island countertop

space is big enough to fit the largest cut-

ting boards I have ever seen which makes

it really plenty reasonable especially if you

move the bar chairs to use that space as

well This also leaves an equivalently sized

countertop area on the other end of the

island by the wall which is less accessible

but includes an outlet

Really the most serious problem

with the island is that there isnrsquot an outlet

on the non-wall side of the island making

using appliances an issue sometimes

On the other side of the kitchen

we have the main counter with the

fridge and oven stovetop combo On

this side of the kitchen we find a lot

more outlets for plugging in things

like your microwave or toaster oven

The stove itself is just as good as any

other electric stove though the dial

placement does leave something to

be desired when yoursquore making pasta

and trying to turn off the burner us-

ing the dial directly behind the pot

The oven on the other hand

definitely leaves you wanting The

ovens in the Apartments do not in-

clude either an internal light or a

viewing window both of which are

features on my old homersquos 40-year-

old oven

Quite frankly I donrsquot understand

those design choices since in order

to check on whateverrsquos baking I have

to open the oven get out my cell-

phone turn on my cellphone light

and then look at my food This is

wasteful of both heat and effort

when in any other oven you could

just press a button to turn on the

light and glance through the window

Above all of

this we have

the cabinets

and stove

hood As

p r e v i o u s l y

m e n t i o n e d

the stove

hood doesnrsquot

actually do anything to help be-

sides blow greasy air in your face

if you actually turn it on It does

however come with a sometimes

useful light

The cabinets are fairly stand-

ard affairs and donrsquot have any

particular problems

The kitchen layout as a whole

is fairly reasonable with lack of

built in storage space being the

only problem That is easily

solved by purchasing your own

shelving unit though

There is space for three or

four people to stand in the kitch-

en without undue bumping of

elbows and therersquos plenty of

room for your old bottles to sit

up on top of the cabinets

Overall the kitchen is a fair-

ly good kitchen with no particu-

larly serious issues even if the

oven design makes no sense

A rare occurrence of our kitchen being clean

I do not mind sitting indoors while trying to get some

work done but the spring weather that has been coming

back lately has made it harder and harder to focus It is a

little better where there are no windows such as a Crapo

classrooms but then there is a feeling of sitting in a prison

cell and being isolated from the weather outside In Olin

the large spans of glass between the outside and the class-

room can be too distracting or too eerie

The one place on campus where a nice balance

seems to have been struck is in the Logan Library

In the back corner of the first floor is the large

conference room and the size of the windows in

that room is just right Goldilocks herself would

approve of the middle ground these openings

strike

The first accolade for these windows is the appropri-

ate level of exposure I have heard the complaints that

those windows are more like archerrsquos slits in a castle wall

but I think this is too hasty of an assessment They do not

let in a lot of sunlight but that also means they keep in a

lot of focus on the meeting topics on hand Besides who

doesnrsquot want to feel like he is sitting inside the walls of a

castle

It is a lot easier to keep the mind from wandering

without the imagery of classmates frolicking in the Quad

during the spurts of nicer weather It is also a lot easier to

keep from feeling dreary during the spurts of gray weath-

er that come back to haunt us during the fickle springtime

in Indiana There is just enough isolation offered to allow

a view of the outdoors when sought and to prevent acci-

dentally daydreaming otherwise

An added benefit that comes from the narrow size of

these windows is the privacy Sometimes I just do not

want to look up and see someone staring into my class-

room at what is being done or by whom on his way past

In this meeting room I do

not have to worry about

that Those windows are so

narrow that only a truly

dedicated observer who is

willing to hoist himself

right up to the slit and peer

into it would be able to

watch me and my team-

mates at work I like to

think someone else on

campus would knock him

right off his step stool or

ladder and tell him to stop

being such a creepy person

Finally it provides me

with the opportunity to

observe passersby unno-

ticed Sure I do not want

anyone else peering into

the windows at me but I

do not see the harm in peo-

ple watching if no one is

upset by noticing From the

end of the table farthest from that delightfully propor-

tioned slit in the wall it is possible to cast an eye out onto

the sidewalk I can take note of what the latest clothing

styles are how much the wind is going to later perturb my

hairstyle and which individuals have the bad habit of

spitting onto the sidewalks The best part is that no one

else in the meeting will suspect my wandering attention

since it does not often occur to them that anything inter-

esting could be observed through such a small opening in

the wall

With all of these benefits to the ldquoarcherrsquos slitsrdquo

I can only conclude that they are the best of all

windows on our campus Not too big Not too non-

existent Just right rdquo

Over the weekend Rose baseball

took two of the three-game

series against Defiance

College in the Heartland

pitched a complete shutout

on Saturday as the Engi-

neers topped Defiance 4-0

behind a third-inning tri-

ple by junior Patrick Klima

and a single from junior

Kody Alayon

The bottom of the fifth saw Na-

triple play of the season as Alayon

snagged a line drive stepped on sec-

ond and threw out the runner tag-

Jackets out of the inning with noth-

ing

On Sunday Rose

header against De-

fiance The first

game was largely

uneventful and saw

til Defiancersquos Chris

Donese scored on a

wild pitch in the top

of the eighth

Donesersquos run would

be the only one of the

game with Rose falling 1-0 In the

Bender all notched hits as well

In the second game Rose didnrsquot hesitate to

get the bats swinging and scored six runs in

the first inning RBIs from Miller Heibel Lake

Singaporersquos First Premier Lee Kuan Dies at 91

Lee Kuan Yew the first prime minister and important political figurehead of Singapore since the countryrsquos inde-pendence in 1965 died Monday at the age of 91

ldquoMr Lee passed away peacefully at the Singapore Gen-eral Hospitalrdquo the announcement from the Prime Ministerrsquos Office said ldquoArrangements for the public to pay respects and for the funeral proceedings will be announced laterrdquo

Mr Lee led Singaporersquos transition from British colonial rule to democracy in 1965 after first joining Malaysia in 1963

As the leader of the Peoplersquos Action Party which was responsible for guiding the transition he won election as the first prime minister of the fledgling democracy Mr Lee remained prime minister for 25 years before handing over leadership in 1990 after which he moved into the advisory role of senior minister

Mr Leersquos style of government was often criticized for its authoritarian characteristics including suppressing free-dom of speech and limiting public assembly but was also a rare example of pragmatic and incorrupt government in the region

Singapore has since become an economic powerhouse and a vital center for international finance and business Mr Lee often described Singapore as a ldquoFirst World oasis in a Third World regionrdquo

Germanwings Co-Pilot Responsible for Plane

Crash in France

A Germanwings co-pilot deliberately crashed his plane into the French Alps Tuesday according to French officials The plane was en route to Duumlsseldorf Germany from Barce-lona Spain was carrying 150 people who all died in the crash

Investigators initially thought that the crash was an ac-cident before recovering the planersquos voice recorders The cockpitrsquos voice recorders captured the last minutes of the flight during which the captain could be heard pleading for the co-pilot to open the door

Andreas Lubitz the co-pilot identified by French inves-tigators reportedly locked the captain out of the cockpit before taking control of the plane Mr Lubitz was initially talkative but became ldquolaconicrdquo in the words of French in-vestigators during the middle of the flight

In the final moments before the crash the captainrsquos pleas to return to the cockpit became more frantic and shouting could be heard coming from the passenger section The voice recorder revealed normal breathing in the cock-pit indicating that Mr Lubitz was aware of his actions

The investigation is likely now to turn from the crash itself to focus on Mr Lubitz and his mental state before the crash A similar incident happened in 1999 when an EgyptAir flight crashed in the Atlantic Ocean after it was determined that the co-pilot deliberately crashed the plane

Situation in Yemen Worsens as Saudi Arabia

Starts Air Strikes

Saudi Arabia and a coalition of other nations started military operations in Yemen Wednesday to halt the ad-vance of Houthi rebels who have taken control of large swaths of the country

Saudi Arabia joins nine other countries in launching air and ground operations in the country The operations are largely seen to secure the long border the nation shares with Yemen Reports from previous weeks said that Saudi Arabia had been amassing troops along the border

The situation in Yemen has continued to deteriorate after Iranian-backed Houthi rebels pushed into the south-ern half of the country forcing President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi to flee the capitol The presidentrsquos wherea-bouts are still unknown

Yemen is also in the midst of dealing with an active campaign by an offshoot of al Qaeda called al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula The region has become the focus of American counterterrorism operations including drone

Students have expressed concern and confusion over work that began this week on improvements being made to Lost Creek the stream that runs along the Student Recreation Center (SRC)

The Indiana Department of Trans-portation (INDOT) are making the im-provements as part of the local IN641 by

-pass project focusing on mitigating the effects of the by-pass on the local water-shed Particular changes include reno-vating the embankments stream path and the flow of the stream with particu-lar attention paid to reducing erosion

Jacob Campbell Director of Envi-ronmental Health and Safety informed students faculty and staff of the project and the disruption to campus as INDOT works on the improvements This was the first time that students were notified of the changes that were to be made to campus

What students were not informed of are the substantial changes being made to the campus Work began by cutting down many of the trees that line the stream including trees between the Apartment Residence Halls and the SRC parking lot Trees along the stream be-hind Cook Stadium have also been marked for removal

Concerned students have questioned why the project has required so many trees to be removed for making improve-ments to the stream

ldquoWhen I first saw all the tree stumps I was a little shockedrdquo freshman Jane Sahabu a member of the Home for Envi-ronmentally Responsible Engineers (HERE) program said ldquoIt seemed to me counterintuitive to remove trees that help stop soil erosionrdquo

Students were also upset at the cost

of chopping down trees that are a part of the scenery on campus

ldquoI am not excited about the changes being made to campusrdquo freshman me-chanical engineer Dan Engstrom said ldquoI think wersquore going to lose a lot of the beauty of the campus and future stu-dents are going to lose out as a result of itrdquo

Although some students were con-fused as to why the improvements were being made civil engineering students are acutely aware of the case for making the improvements ldquoAlthough I hate to see them cut down the trees the im-provements are necessary to improve the water quality of the watershedrdquo jun-ior civil engineer Isaac Gehman ldquoThe project is really about meeting state re-quirements for maintaining the water-shed and improvements to Lost Creek should do sordquo

Students with more knowledge on the subject have suggested that the costs are outweighed by the benefits Another civil engineering student junior Gene Kum corroborated Mr Gehman rsquos state-ment adding that the ldquobanks have been unstable and the trees are nonnative and a pestrdquo Mr Kum also said that ldquotheyrsquore doing it for a reasonhellip it might actually help the creekrdquo

The main issue for those upset is the lack of information available to students about the work being done With a weekrsquos notice and a short email about the closing of the road behind the Hul-man Memorial Student Union students were caught off guard when they saw

entire rows of trees being cut down Students are eager for answers about how this program is going to affect the campus whether or not administrators will respond is the question that needs to be answered

SWERY is one strange

Japanese man Developer of

the cult classic ldquoDeadly

Premonitionrdquo SWERY has

been picked up by Microsoft

Studios to release his latest

work ldquoD4 Dark Dreams

Donrsquot Dierdquo on Xbox One

The player takes control

of David Young a private

detective who was once a

cop He left the force after

the death of his wife a case

that he is still trying to solve

Suffering from amnesia of

the day of her death David

only remembers her last

words ldquoLook for Drdquo This

being the only hint David

must look for ldquoDrdquo and solve

who killed his wife In the

process he is proving that

he is not D (his name is Da-

vid after all)

ldquoD4rdquo takes elements

from classic adventure

games newer classics from

TellTale Games and a buck-

et full of Japanese craziness

to craft something entirely

unique The game was de-

signed for Kinect though I

opted for playing with the

controller Pointing is the

main gameplay mechanic I

can see how that would work

great with Kinect and by all

accounts the game seems to

be one of the better Kinect

experiences available on

Xbox One You explore the

environment looking for

clues and talk-

ing to suspects

There are a lot

of different in-

teractions with

characters and

dialogue trees

similar to Tell-

Tale rsquos ldquoThe

Walking Deadrdquo

But the key to

this game is how

SWERY has

translated the mechanics to

be distinctly Japanese For

example rather than just

talking to people you have

the option to push them

eliciting different types of

conversations

ldquoD4rdquo has an intriguing

story The world is odd

which played a part in hav-

ing me on the edge of my

seat the entire time Charac-

ters are incredibly original

and interesting They donrsquot

follow typical archetypes

that tend to be played out

For example one character

is a cat lady but not the kind

of cat lady you think she

literally thinks she is a cat

She wears a bow and has a

collar She even chases mice

and meows Incredibly weird

characters like this made

every interaction in the

game interesting and fun I

kept moving through the

plot and talking to everyone

just to see what they would

say or do next

The game takes place in

Boston but it is clear that

the designer of the game

SWERY has absolutely no

idea what Boston is actually

like or how people in Boston

actually talk They have long

conversations about Boston

foods such as clam chowder

It shows that SWERY knows

that they are known for it

but itrsquos so blunt and lasts so

long that it just comes off

that SWERY clearly has no

idea And why should he

He is a Japanese game de-

signer who visits the

United States a few

times a year at most

He may not have even

been to Boston All of

this sounds like I am

ragging on the game

but in reality all of the

oddities that SWERY

brings to the world

really makes the game

If this was a straight-

forward mystery game

set in Boston it would be

super boring Seeing how

SWERY tries to translate

what he knows about the

United States into a story

and misses the point so of-

ten is a highlight because it

is so hilarious You never get

mad about the misunder-

standings It just so appeal-

ing in an odd way that you

want to learn about the crazy

alternate Boston this mad-

man has crafted

My only real complaint

about ldquoD4rdquo is that the game

has a pointless energy sys-

tem You have to keep eating

or else David will pass out

from exhaustion But the

simplest things drain a ton

of energy Every time you

talk it takes off one percent

off the meter and something

as simple as moving a table

takes around 15 percent

This leads to tons of food

being available in the envi-

ronment even if it makes

absolutely no sense For ex-

ample part of the game

takes place on a plane I was

running low on energy and

found an entire hamburger

and fries dinner along with a

drink in the overhead bin

That is insane Though one

could say this adds to the

charm of the game I found

it to be more frustrating

ldquoD4rdquo is a solid game for

Xbox One Itrsquos definitely not

a typical experience and has

quite a few quirks but at its

core the game is just a fun

time and is totally worth

checking out

Like most PC users I love Steam

sales There is always the temptation

to grab a game for a ridiculous bar-

gain and sometimes itrsquos just too

good to pass up Such was the case

with the recent 2K anniversary sale

last weekend Included in that was

ldquoSid Meierrsquos Civilization Beyond

Earthrdquo and ldquoSid Meierrsquos Starshipsrdquo

ldquoBeyond Earthrdquo is the next in-

stallment in the extremely popular

and extraordinarily addictive Civili-

zation series which tasks players

with raising a civilization one city at

a time The big change with this new

game is that as the title suggests

you are not on

earth anymore

and are instead

colonizing an

a l ien wo rld

Gone are the fa-

mous historical

figures like Attila

the Hun Alexan-

der the Great

and the nuclear

warmonger Ma-

hatma Gandhi

The basis for this

colonization is

grounded in the

ldquoGreat Mistakerdquo

some kind of

global cataclysm

that made the

entire Earth un-

livable In the

chaos that fol-

lowed new pow-

ers began to

emerge some

fusions of exist-

ing countries we

know today

some radically

different Notable examples include

the American Reclamation Corpora-

tion a corporation that literally

bought America from the US gov-

ernment Polystralia consisting of

Australia and the pacific islands and

the Slavic Federation the USSR

reborn

The basics of the gameplay have-

nrsquot changed too drastically in the

jump to the far reaches of the uni-

verse but there are some notable

new features that may excite (or con-

fuse) veteran Civilization players

Most of the Civilization staples are

still present some with more tweaks

than others The barbarians have

been replaced with the native life

forms of the new world and the

technology tree is no longer linear

but rather a large nonlinear web for

researching new technology

The biggest addition is the Affin-

ity system Almost every action you

take in game from researching to

exploration adds to one of three Af-

finity levels Purity Harmony and

Supremacy Each of these can

change the game in new and exciting

ways

Purity stems from the age-old

belief that humanity is better than

any species it could come across in

this case that would be the native

ldquoalienrdquo(since you are technically the

alien on this world) life Purity soci-

eties attempt to stay as ldquoEarth-likerdquo

as possible using mech-suits and

domes to keep themselves isolated

from the new world

Supremacy strives to improve

humanity in any way possible most

often through advanced robotics and

cybernetics They replace everything

with sleek robotic designs and even-

tually rely on combat robots and un-

manned vehicles to fight their bat-

tles

A Harmony society accepts the

new surroundings and attempts to

coexist with the native life It strives

to be at one with the new ecosystem

even genetically modifies itself to

adapt to the ecosystem and eventu-

ally can create its own versions of the

native life

The game plays exactly like any

other Civilization game before it

although this game succeeds in cre-

ating an atmosphere of wonder and

overwhelming naiveteacute as you venture

out into the unknown Most of that

stems from the minimal tutorials

and the large scope of the lands It

takes much longer to explore this

new frontier the native lifeforms are

more numerous than barbarians ever

were and they can quickly over-

whelm you without much notice

The new tech trees are generally con-

fusing and itrsquos hard to understand

why interstellar travelers have to

research Physics again I am looking

forward to playing this game a lot

then seeing what crazy mods the

community will come up with

If you have gained the confidence to ask

your crush out congratulations for having

the courage to do so in the first place If they

said yes itrsquos time to start planning the big

first date Most of you have your ideal date

scenario in mind but just in case yoursquore a bit

lost I have several tips that can help you

Before you go out do some research on

what your crush is interested in Are they

into movies sports nature or other hob-

bies If you both have something in common

or some common activity the two of you want

to try go for it

Do not take that person to something that

you like and they will hate You want the

date to be enjoyable for the both

of you not just the one

The conversations held on a

date are one of the most im-

portant parts Make it the goal of

the date to get to know the other

person better If the conversation

focuses on you too much try to

shift it over to the other person

Listen closely when your crush

is talking and be ready to respond

with a follow-up question One

word responses are the gateway

to awkward pauses which should

be avoided

Always maintain confidence

Do not ask questions like ldquohow do

you think the date is goingrdquo or

ldquoare we a good matchrdquo These

questions make you appear insecure in your

date planning skills as well and can ruin the

date quickly Just remember that you asked

the person out and they said yes

er will start to stabilize Until then

here is a list of things to keep

you occupied during this tumul-

tuous purgatory between spring

and winter

The one task that is somewhat easier to

complete during this limbo season is

homework The only things that can dis-

tract you are inside activities When you

finish watching your favorite

show or playing a game you can

try to start homework When

spring comes around the temp-

tation to procrastinate will be

even stronger as you will have

distractions both inside and out

Try to take advantage of these

rainy brisk days to train yourself

to power through the homework

because the temptation to blow it

off during the warm months will

be twice as high

While the weather is still cold

take advantage of the main com-

modities of fall and winter

sweaters and warm drinks This

is the last time to experience this

sweater weather so to speak As

soon as spring rolls around the

sweaters go away

Additionally your craving for

warm beverages midday general-

ly will subside when those 80-

degree days roll around Start

thinking of a cold midday caf-

feinated drink substitute for

spring and summer months be-

cause the weather could change

in the blink of an eye

Another thing to take care of

during spring is your car Now is

a great time if you havenrsquot al-

ready to get your car washed and

clean it out for those spring

drives Before you take a day trip

to Indianapolis or another big

city be sure to get your tires

filled with air Though itrsquos a

chore your wallet will thank you

when you save on gas

I for one am very impatient and

cannot wait for spring to get started

However though the weather is

still gloomy there are plenty of

things to enjoy and do during

this unusual time

Ah pasta a food that most of

us have become experts of in col-

lege A particular favorite is

macaroni and cheese For the

limited amount of time we get

for cooking here are two recipes

for quick and on-the-go mac and

cheese

These recipes can get you out

of the kitchen quickly and back

to doing what you need to do to

survive Rose-Hulman

If you need to grab food on the

go these mac and cheese muf-

fins go where you go

2 cups cooked warm elbow mac-

aroni pasta

1 tablespoon butter

1 beaten egg

1 cup milk

1 frac12 cups shredded sharp ched-

dar cheese

1 frac12 cups shredded mozzarella

cheese

frac12 cup seasoned dry bread

crumbs

2 teaspoons olive oil

frac12 teaspoons olive oil

Preheat the oven to 350 de-

grees Grease a muffin pan and

mix together the bread crumbs

olive oil and salt in a bowl

In another bowl stir in the

butter and egg until the pasta is

evenly coated Stir in one cup of

cheddar cheese Add the milk

mozzarella and cheese into the

pasta and transfer the mixture to

the muffin tin Top the

muffins with the cheddar

cheese and breadcrumb

mixture

Bake the muffins for

30 minutes in the oven or

until the toppings are

nicely browned Once

done allow the muffins to

cool in the pan before re-

moving them

By allowing them to

cool in the pan the

cheese has time set and

the muffins will hold

their shape

If you do not have the time

to make muffin-sized pasta

and are lacking those instant

macaroni cups this quick

macaroni recipe will get you

fed and back to work

13 cup pasta

frac12 cup water

frac14 1 milk

frac12 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Add the pasta and water in a large

mug or bowl Microwave the pasta

and water for two minutes and

stir several times

Place the cup or bowl in the

microwave for another two to

four minutes stirring at each

two-minute interval The pasta

should cook through but if it

doesnrsquot add another teaspoon of

water and microwave for another

minute

Remove the mixture from the

microwave and stir in the milk

and cheese Microwave for an-

other minute and stir The pasta

is ready to eat

A first date can go well if you keep your cool forwallpapercom

As residents of the Apartments

East Residence Hall my roommates

and I enjoy the relaxation of cooking

our own dinner most nights Because

of this our kitchen is a very im-

portant part of our experience here

at Rose and so far it has served its

purpose reasonably well

There are minor issues like the

stove hood not actually venting any-

where except back in your face but

the stove hasnrsquot broken the oven

hasnrsquot broken the fridge has broken

and the sink hasnrsquot broken yet With

that said taking a closer look at each

part of the kitchen reveals more

The kitchen island is a fairly

standard layout with a sink in

the middle and bar seating on

the opposite side

This is where your main

counter space is probably going

to end up if yoursquore anything like

my roommates and have a micro-

wave a coffee maker or any oth-

er appliance normally kept on

the counter

To this end the island countertop

space is big enough to fit the largest cut-

ting boards I have ever seen which makes

it really plenty reasonable especially if you

move the bar chairs to use that space as

well This also leaves an equivalently sized

countertop area on the other end of the

island by the wall which is less accessible

but includes an outlet

Really the most serious problem

with the island is that there isnrsquot an outlet

on the non-wall side of the island making

using appliances an issue sometimes

On the other side of the kitchen

we have the main counter with the

fridge and oven stovetop combo On

this side of the kitchen we find a lot

more outlets for plugging in things

like your microwave or toaster oven

The stove itself is just as good as any

other electric stove though the dial

placement does leave something to

be desired when yoursquore making pasta

and trying to turn off the burner us-

ing the dial directly behind the pot

The oven on the other hand

definitely leaves you wanting The

ovens in the Apartments do not in-

clude either an internal light or a

viewing window both of which are

features on my old homersquos 40-year-

old oven

Quite frankly I donrsquot understand

those design choices since in order

to check on whateverrsquos baking I have

to open the oven get out my cell-

phone turn on my cellphone light

and then look at my food This is

wasteful of both heat and effort

when in any other oven you could

just press a button to turn on the

light and glance through the window

Above all of

this we have

the cabinets

and stove

hood As

p r e v i o u s l y

m e n t i o n e d

the stove

hood doesnrsquot

actually do anything to help be-

sides blow greasy air in your face

if you actually turn it on It does

however come with a sometimes

useful light

The cabinets are fairly stand-

ard affairs and donrsquot have any

particular problems

The kitchen layout as a whole

is fairly reasonable with lack of

built in storage space being the

only problem That is easily

solved by purchasing your own

shelving unit though

There is space for three or

four people to stand in the kitch-

en without undue bumping of

elbows and therersquos plenty of

room for your old bottles to sit

up on top of the cabinets

Overall the kitchen is a fair-

ly good kitchen with no particu-

larly serious issues even if the

oven design makes no sense

I do not mind sitting indoors while trying to get some

work done but the spring weather that has been coming

back lately has made it harder and harder to focus It is a

little better where there are no windows such as a Crapo

classrooms but then there is a feeling of sitting in a prison

cell and being isolated from the weather outside In Olin

the large spans of glass between the outside and the class-

room can be too distracting or too eerie

The one place on campus where a nice balance

seems to have been struck is in the Logan Library

In the back corner of the first floor is the large

conference room and the size of the windows in

that room is just right Goldilocks herself would

approve of the middle ground these openings

strike

The first accolade for these windows is the appropri-

ate level of exposure I have heard the complaints that

those windows are more like archerrsquos slits in a castle wall

but I think this is too hasty of an assessment They do not

let in a lot of sunlight but that also means they keep in a

lot of focus on the meeting topics on hand Besides who

doesnrsquot want to feel like he is sitting inside the walls of a

castle

It is a lot easier to keep the mind from wandering

without the imagery of classmates frolicking in the Quad

during the spurts of nicer weather It is also a lot easier to

keep from feeling dreary during the spurts of gray weath-

er that come back to haunt us during the fickle springtime

in Indiana There is just enough isolation offered to allow

a view of the outdoors when sought and to prevent acci-

dentally daydreaming otherwise

An added benefit that comes from the narrow size of

these windows is the privacy Sometimes I just do not

want to look up and see someone staring into my class-

room at what is being done or by whom on his way past

In this meeting room I do

not have to worry about

that Those windows are so

narrow that only a truly

dedicated observer who is

willing to hoist himself

right up to the slit and peer

into it would be able to

watch me and my team-

mates at work I like to

think someone else on

campus would knock him

right off his step stool or

ladder and tell him to stop

being such a creepy person

Finally it provides me

with the opportunity to

observe passersby unno-

ticed Sure I do not want

anyone else peering into

the windows at me but I

do not see the harm in peo-

ple watching if no one is

upset by noticing From the

end of the table farthest from that delightfully propor-

tioned slit in the wall it is possible to cast an eye out onto

the sidewalk I can take note of what the latest clothing

styles are how much the wind is going to later perturb my

hairstyle and which individuals have the bad habit of

spitting onto the sidewalks The best part is that no one

else in the meeting will suspect my wandering attention

since it does not often occur to them that anything inter-

esting could be observed through such a small opening in

the wall

With all of these benefits to the ldquoarcherrsquos slitsrdquo

I can only conclude that they are the best of all

windows on our campus Not too big Not too non-

existent Just right rdquo

Singaporersquos First Premier Lee Kuan Dies at 91

Lee Kuan Yew the first prime minister and important political figurehead of Singapore since the countryrsquos inde-pendence in 1965 died Monday at the age of 91

ldquoMr Lee passed away peacefully at the Singapore Gen-eral Hospitalrdquo the announcement from the Prime Ministerrsquos Office said ldquoArrangements for the public to pay respects and for the funeral proceedings will be announced laterrdquo

Mr Lee led Singaporersquos transition from British colonial rule to democracy in 1965 after first joining Malaysia in 1963

As the leader of the Peoplersquos Action Party which was responsible for guiding the transition he won election as the first prime minister of the fledgling democracy Mr Lee remained prime minister for 25 years before handing over leadership in 1990 after which he moved into the advisory role of senior minister

Mr Leersquos style of government was often criticized for its authoritarian characteristics including suppressing free-dom of speech and limiting public assembly but was also a rare example of pragmatic and incorrupt government in the region

Singapore has since become an economic powerhouse and a vital center for international finance and business Mr Lee often described Singapore as a ldquoFirst World oasis in a Third World regionrdquo

Germanwings Co-Pilot Responsible for Plane

Crash in France

A Germanwings co-pilot deliberately crashed his plane into the French Alps Tuesday according to French officials The plane was en route to Duumlsseldorf Germany from Barce-lona Spain was carrying 150 people who all died in the crash

Investigators initially thought that the crash was an ac-cident before recovering the planersquos voice recorders The cockpitrsquos voice recorders captured the last minutes of the flight during which the captain could be heard pleading for the co-pilot to open the door

Andreas Lubitz the co-pilot identified by French inves-tigators reportedly locked the captain out of the cockpit before taking control of the plane Mr Lubitz was initially talkative but became ldquolaconicrdquo in the words of French in-vestigators during the middle of the flight

In the final moments before the crash the captainrsquos pleas to return to the cockpit became more frantic and shouting could be heard coming from the passenger section The voice recorder revealed normal breathing in the cock-pit indicating that Mr Lubitz was aware of his actions

The investigation is likely now to turn from the crash itself to focus on Mr Lubitz and his mental state before the crash A similar incident happened in 1999 when an EgyptAir flight crashed in the Atlantic Ocean after it was determined that the co-pilot deliberately crashed the plane

Situation in Yemen Worsens as Saudi Arabia

Starts Air Strikes

Saudi Arabia and a coalition of other nations started military operations in Yemen Wednesday to halt the ad-vance of Houthi rebels who have taken control of large swaths of the country

Saudi Arabia joins nine other countries in launching air and ground operations in the country The operations are largely seen to secure the long border the nation shares with Yemen Reports from previous weeks said that Saudi Arabia had been amassing troops along the border

The situation in Yemen has continued to deteriorate after Iranian-backed Houthi rebels pushed into the south-ern half of the country forcing President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi to flee the capitol The presidentrsquos wherea-bouts are still unknown

Yemen is also in the midst of dealing with an active campaign by an offshoot of al Qaeda called al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula The region has become the focus of American counterterrorism operations including drone

Students have expressed concern and confusion over work that began this week on improvements being made to Lost Creek the stream that runs along the Student Recreation Center (SRC)

The Indiana Department of Trans-portation (INDOT) are making the im-provements as part of the local IN641 by

-pass project focusing on mitigating the effects of the by-pass on the local water-shed Particular changes include reno-vating the embankments stream path and the flow of the stream with particu-lar attention paid to reducing erosion

Jacob Campbell Director of Envi-ronmental Health and Safety informed students faculty and staff of the project and the disruption to campus as INDOT works on the improvements This was the first time that students were notified of the changes that were to be made to campus

What students were not informed of are the substantial changes being made to the campus Work began by cutting down many of the trees that line the stream including trees between the Apartment Residence Halls and the SRC parking lot Trees along the stream be-hind Cook Stadium have also been marked for removal

Concerned students have questioned why the project has required so many trees to be removed for making improve-ments to the stream

ldquoWhen I first saw all the tree stumps I was a little shockedrdquo freshman Jane Sahabu a member of the Home for Envi-ronmentally Responsible Engineers (HERE) program said ldquoIt seemed to me counterintuitive to remove trees that help stop soil erosionrdquo

Students were also upset at the cost

of chopping down trees that are a part of the scenery on campus

ldquoI am not excited about the changes being made to campusrdquo freshman me-chanical engineer Dan Engstrom said ldquoI think wersquore going to lose a lot of the beauty of the campus and future stu-dents are going to lose out as a result of itrdquo

Although some students were con-fused as to why the improvements were being made civil engineering students are acutely aware of the case for making the improvements ldquoAlthough I hate to see them cut down the trees the im-provements are necessary to improve the water quality of the watershedrdquo jun-ior civil engineer Isaac Gehman ldquoThe project is really about meeting state re-quirements for maintaining the water-shed and improvements to Lost Creek should do sordquo

Students with more knowledge on the subject have suggested that the costs are outweighed by the benefits Another civil engineering student junior Gene Kum corroborated Mr Gehman rsquos state-ment adding that the ldquobanks have been unstable and the trees are nonnative and a pestrdquo Mr Kum also said that ldquotheyrsquore doing it for a reasonhellip it might actually help the creekrdquo

The main issue for those upset is the lack of information available to students about the work being done With a weekrsquos notice and a short email about the closing of the road behind the Hul-man Memorial Student Union students were caught off guard when they saw

entire rows of trees being cut down Students are eager for answers about how this program is going to affect the campus whether or not administrators will respond is the question that needs to be answered

SWERY is one strange

Japanese man Developer of

the cult classic ldquoDeadly

Premonitionrdquo SWERY has

been picked up by Microsoft

Studios to release his latest

work ldquoD4 Dark Dreams

Donrsquot Dierdquo on Xbox One

The player takes control

of David Young a private

detective who was once a

cop He left the force after

the death of his wife a case

that he is still trying to solve

Suffering from amnesia of

the day of her death David

only remembers her last

words ldquoLook for Drdquo This

being the only hint David

must look for ldquoDrdquo and solve

who killed his wife In the

process he is proving that

he is not D (his name is Da-

vid after all)

ldquoD4rdquo takes elements

from classic adventure

games newer classics from

TellTale Games and a buck-

et full of Japanese craziness

to craft something entirely

unique The game was de-

signed for Kinect though I

opted for playing with the

controller Pointing is the

main gameplay mechanic I

can see how that would work

great with Kinect and by all

accounts the game seems to

be one of the better Kinect

experiences available on

Xbox One You explore the

environment looking for

clues and talk-

ing to suspects

There are a lot

of different in-

teractions with

characters and

dialogue trees

similar to Tell-

Tale rsquos ldquoThe

Walking Deadrdquo

But the key to

this game is how

SWERY has

translated the mechanics to

be distinctly Japanese For

example rather than just

talking to people you have

the option to push them

eliciting different types of

conversations

ldquoD4rdquo has an intriguing

story The world is odd

which played a part in hav-

ing me on the edge of my

seat the entire time Charac-

ters are incredibly original

and interesting They donrsquot

follow typical archetypes

that tend to be played out

For example one character

is a cat lady but not the kind

of cat lady you think she

literally thinks she is a cat

She wears a bow and has a

collar She even chases mice

and meows Incredibly weird

characters like this made

every interaction in the

game interesting and fun I

kept moving through the

plot and talking to everyone

just to see what they would

say or do next

The game takes place in

Boston but it is clear that

the designer of the game

SWERY has absolutely no

idea what Boston is actually

like or how people in Boston

actually talk They have long

conversations about Boston

foods such as clam chowder

It shows that SWERY knows

that they are known for it

but itrsquos so blunt and lasts so

long that it just comes off

that SWERY clearly has no

idea And why should he

He is a Japanese game de-

signer who visits the

United States a few

times a year at most

He may not have even

been to Boston All of

this sounds like I am

ragging on the game

but in reality all of the

oddities that SWERY

brings to the world

really makes the game

If this was a straight-

forward mystery game

set in Boston it would be

super boring Seeing how

SWERY tries to translate

what he knows about the

United States into a story

and misses the point so of-

ten is a highlight because it

is so hilarious You never get

mad about the misunder-

standings It just so appeal-

ing in an odd way that you

want to learn about the crazy

alternate Boston this mad-

man has crafted

My only real complaint

about ldquoD4rdquo is that the game

has a pointless energy sys-

tem You have to keep eating

or else David will pass out

from exhaustion But the

simplest things drain a ton

of energy Every time you

talk it takes off one percent

off the meter and something

as simple as moving a table

takes around 15 percent

This leads to tons of food

being available in the envi-

ronment even if it makes

absolutely no sense For ex-

ample part of the game

takes place on a plane I was

running low on energy and

found an entire hamburger

and fries dinner along with a

drink in the overhead bin

That is insane Though one

could say this adds to the

charm of the game I found

it to be more frustrating

ldquoD4rdquo is a solid game for

Xbox One Itrsquos definitely not

a typical experience and has

quite a few quirks but at its

core the game is just a fun

time and is totally worth

checking out

Like most PC users I love Steam

sales There is always the temptation

to grab a game for a ridiculous bar-

gain and sometimes itrsquos just too

good to pass up Such was the case

with the recent 2K anniversary sale

last weekend Included in that was

ldquoSid Meierrsquos Civilization Beyond

Earthrdquo and ldquoSid Meierrsquos Starshipsrdquo

ldquoBeyond Earthrdquo is the next in-

stallment in the extremely popular

and extraordinarily addictive Civili-

zation series which tasks players

with raising a civilization one city at

a time The big change with this new

game is that as the title suggests

you are not on

earth anymore

and are instead

colonizing an

a l ien wo rld

Gone are the fa-

mous historical

figures like Attila

the Hun Alexan-

der the Great

and the nuclear

warmonger Ma-

hatma Gandhi

The basis for this

colonization is

grounded in the

ldquoGreat Mistakerdquo

some kind of

global cataclysm

that made the

entire Earth un-

livable In the

chaos that fol-

lowed new pow-

ers began to

emerge some

fusions of exist-

ing countries we

know today

some radically

different Notable examples include

the American Reclamation Corpora-

tion a corporation that literally

bought America from the US gov-

ernment Polystralia consisting of

Australia and the pacific islands and

the Slavic Federation the USSR

reborn

The basics of the gameplay have-

nrsquot changed too drastically in the

jump to the far reaches of the uni-

verse but there are some notable

new features that may excite (or con-

fuse) veteran Civilization players

Most of the Civilization staples are

still present some with more tweaks

than others The barbarians have

been replaced with the native life

forms of the new world and the

technology tree is no longer linear

but rather a large nonlinear web for

researching new technology

The biggest addition is the Affin-

ity system Almost every action you

take in game from researching to

exploration adds to one of three Af-

finity levels Purity Harmony and

Supremacy Each of these can

change the game in new and exciting

ways

Purity stems from the age-old

belief that humanity is better than

any species it could come across in

this case that would be the native

ldquoalienrdquo(since you are technically the

alien on this world) life Purity soci-

eties attempt to stay as ldquoEarth-likerdquo

as possible using mech-suits and

domes to keep themselves isolated

from the new world

Supremacy strives to improve

humanity in any way possible most

often through advanced robotics and

cybernetics They replace everything

with sleek robotic designs and even-

tually rely on combat robots and un-

manned vehicles to fight their bat-

tles

A Harmony society accepts the

new surroundings and attempts to

coexist with the native life It strives

to be at one with the new ecosystem

even genetically modifies itself to

adapt to the ecosystem and eventu-

ally can create its own versions of the

native life

The game plays exactly like any

other Civilization game before it

although this game succeeds in cre-

ating an atmosphere of wonder and

overwhelming naiveteacute as you venture

out into the unknown Most of that

stems from the minimal tutorials

and the large scope of the lands It

takes much longer to explore this

new frontier the native lifeforms are

more numerous than barbarians ever

were and they can quickly over-

whelm you without much notice

The new tech trees are generally con-

fusing and itrsquos hard to understand

why interstellar travelers have to

research Physics again I am looking

forward to playing this game a lot

then seeing what crazy mods the

community will come up with

If you have gained the confidence to ask

your crush out congratulations for having

the courage to do so in the first place If they

said yes itrsquos time to start planning the big

first date Most of you have your ideal date

scenario in mind but just in case yoursquore a bit

lost I have several tips that can help you

Before you go out do some research on

what your crush is interested in Are they

into movies sports nature or other hob-

bies If you both have something in common

or some common activity the two of you want

to try go for it

Do not take that person to something that

you like and they will hate You want the

date to be enjoyable for the both

of you not just the one

The conversations held on a

date are one of the most im-

portant parts Make it the goal of

the date to get to know the other

person better If the conversation

focuses on you too much try to

shift it over to the other person

Listen closely when your crush

is talking and be ready to respond

with a follow-up question One

word responses are the gateway

to awkward pauses which should

be avoided

Always maintain confidence

Do not ask questions like ldquohow do

you think the date is goingrdquo or

ldquoare we a good matchrdquo These

questions make you appear insecure in your

date planning skills as well and can ruin the

date quickly Just remember that you asked

the person out and they said yes

Last week it felt like spring was starting

to come around This week however the

weather has been nothing but the ghost of

winters past Who knows when the weath-

er will start to stabilize Until then

here is a list of things to keep

you occupied during this tumul-

tuous purgatory between spring

and winter

The one task that is somewhat easier to

complete during this limbo season is

homework The only things that can dis-

tract you are inside activities When you

finish watching your favorite

show or playing a game you can

try to start homework When

spring comes around the temp-

tation to procrastinate will be

even stronger as you will have

distractions both inside and out

Try to take advantage of these

rainy brisk days to train yourself

to power through the homework

because the temptation to blow it

off during the warm months will

be twice as high

While the weather is still cold

take advantage of the main com-

modities of fall and winter

sweaters and warm drinks This

is the last time to experience this

sweater weather so to speak As

soon as spring rolls around the

sweaters go away

Additionally your craving for

warm beverages midday general-

ly will subside when those 80-

degree days roll around Start

thinking of a cold midday caf-

feinated drink substitute for

spring and summer months be-

cause the weather could change

in the blink of an eye

Another thing to take care of

during spring is your car Now is

a great time if you havenrsquot al-

ready to get your car washed and

clean it out for those spring

drives Before you take a day trip

to Indianapolis or another big

city be sure to get your tires

filled with air Though itrsquos a

chore your wallet will thank you

when you save on gas

I for one am very impatient and

cannot wait for spring to get started

However though the weather is

still gloomy there are plenty of

things to enjoy and do during

this unusual time

Ah pasta a food that most of

us have become experts of in col-

lege A particular favorite is

macaroni and cheese For the

limited amount of time we get

for cooking here are two recipes

for quick and on-the-go mac and

cheese

These recipes can get you out

of the kitchen quickly and back

to doing what you need to do to

survive Rose-Hulman

If you need to grab food on the

go these mac and cheese muf-

fins go where you go

2 cups cooked warm elbow mac-

aroni pasta

1 tablespoon butter

1 beaten egg

1 cup milk

1 frac12 cups shredded sharp ched-

dar cheese

1 frac12 cups shredded mozzarella

cheese

frac12 cup seasoned dry bread

crumbs

2 teaspoons olive oil

frac12 teaspoons olive oil

Preheat the oven to 350 de-

grees Grease a muffin pan and

mix together the bread crumbs

olive oil and salt in a bowl

In another bowl stir in the

butter and egg until the pasta is

evenly coated Stir in one cup of

cheddar cheese Add the milk

mozzarella and cheese into the

pasta and transfer the mixture to

the muffin tin Top the

muffins with the cheddar

cheese and breadcrumb

mixture

Bake the muffins for

30 minutes in the oven or

until the toppings are

nicely browned Once

done allow the muffins to

cool in the pan before re-

moving them

By allowing them to

cool in the pan the

cheese has time set and

the muffins will hold

their shape

If you do not have the time

to make muffin-sized pasta

and are lacking those instant

macaroni cups this quick

macaroni recipe will get you

fed and back to work

13 cup pasta

frac12 cup water

frac14 1 milk

frac12 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Add the pasta and water in a large

mug or bowl Microwave the pasta

and water for two minutes and

stir several times

Place the cup or bowl in the

microwave for another two to

four minutes stirring at each

two-minute interval The pasta

should cook through but if it

doesnrsquot add another teaspoon of

water and microwave for another

minute

Remove the mixture from the

microwave and stir in the milk

and cheese Microwave for an-

other minute and stir The pasta

is ready to eat

As residents of the Apartments

East Residence Hall my roommates

and I enjoy the relaxation of cooking

our own dinner most nights Because

of this our kitchen is a very im-

portant part of our experience here

at Rose and so far it has served its

purpose reasonably well

There are minor issues like the

stove hood not actually venting any-

where except back in your face but

the stove hasnrsquot broken the oven

hasnrsquot broken the fridge has broken

and the sink hasnrsquot broken yet With

that said taking a closer look at each

part of the kitchen reveals more

The kitchen island is a fairly

standard layout with a sink in

the middle and bar seating on

the opposite side

This is where your main

counter space is probably going

to end up if yoursquore anything like

my roommates and have a micro-

wave a coffee maker or any oth-

er appliance normally kept on

the counter

To this end the island countertop

space is big enough to fit the largest cut-

ting boards I have ever seen which makes

it really plenty reasonable especially if you

move the bar chairs to use that space as

well This also leaves an equivalently sized

countertop area on the other end of the

island by the wall which is less accessible

but includes an outlet

Really the most serious problem

with the island is that there isnrsquot an outlet

on the non-wall side of the island making

using appliances an issue sometimes

On the other side of the kitchen

we have the main counter with the

fridge and oven stovetop combo On

this side of the kitchen we find a lot

more outlets for plugging in things

like your microwave or toaster oven

The stove itself is just as good as any

other electric stove though the dial

placement does leave something to

be desired when yoursquore making pasta

and trying to turn off the burner us-

ing the dial directly behind the pot

The oven on the other hand

definitely leaves you wanting The

ovens in the Apartments do not in-

clude either an internal light or a

viewing window both of which are

features on my old homersquos 40-year-

old oven

Quite frankly I donrsquot understand

those design choices since in order

to check on whateverrsquos baking I have

to open the oven get out my cell-

phone turn on my cellphone light

and then look at my food This is

wasteful of both heat and effort

when in any other oven you could

just press a button to turn on the

light and glance through the window

Above all of

this we have

the cabinets

and stove

hood As

p r e v i o u s l y

m e n t i o n e d

the stove

hood doesnrsquot

actually do anything to help be-

sides blow greasy air in your face

if you actually turn it on It does

however come with a sometimes

useful light

The cabinets are fairly stand-

ard affairs and donrsquot have any

particular problems

The kitchen layout as a whole

is fairly reasonable with lack of

built in storage space being the

only problem That is easily

solved by purchasing your own

shelving unit though

There is space for three or

four people to stand in the kitch-

en without undue bumping of

elbows and therersquos plenty of

room for your old bottles to sit

up on top of the cabinets

Overall the kitchen is a fair-

ly good kitchen with no particu-

larly serious issues even if the

oven design makes no sense

I do not mind sitting indoors while trying to get some

work done but the spring weather that has been coming

back lately has made it harder and harder to focus It is a

little better where there are no windows such as a Crapo

classrooms but then there is a feeling of sitting in a prison

cell and being isolated from the weather outside In Olin

the large spans of glass between the outside and the class-

room can be too distracting or too eerie

The one place on campus where a nice balance

seems to have been struck is in the Logan Library

In the back corner of the first floor is the large

conference room and the size of the windows in

that room is just right Goldilocks herself would

approve of the middle ground these openings

strike

The first accolade for these windows is the appropri-

ate level of exposure I have heard the complaints that

those windows are more like archerrsquos slits in a castle wall

but I think this is too hasty of an assessment They do not

let in a lot of sunlight but that also means they keep in a

lot of focus on the meeting topics on hand Besides who

doesnrsquot want to feel like he is sitting inside the walls of a

castle

It is a lot easier to keep the mind from wandering

without the imagery of classmates frolicking in the Quad

during the spurts of nicer weather It is also a lot easier to

keep from feeling dreary during the spurts of gray weath-

er that come back to haunt us during the fickle springtime

in Indiana There is just enough isolation offered to allow

a view of the outdoors when sought and to prevent acci-

dentally daydreaming otherwise

An added benefit that comes from the narrow size of

these windows is the privacy Sometimes I just do not

want to look up and see someone staring into my class-

room at what is being done or by whom on his way past

In this meeting room I do

not have to worry about

that Those windows are so

narrow that only a truly

dedicated observer who is

willing to hoist himself

right up to the slit and peer

into it would be able to

watch me and my team-

mates at work I like to

think someone else on

campus would knock him

right off his step stool or

ladder and tell him to stop

being such a creepy person

Finally it provides me

with the opportunity to

observe passersby unno-

ticed Sure I do not want

anyone else peering into

the windows at me but I

do not see the harm in peo-

ple watching if no one is

upset by noticing From the

end of the table farthest from that delightfully propor-

tioned slit in the wall it is possible to cast an eye out onto

the sidewalk I can take note of what the latest clothing

styles are how much the wind is going to later perturb my

hairstyle and which individuals have the bad habit of

spitting onto the sidewalks The best part is that no one

else in the meeting will suspect my wandering attention

since it does not often occur to them that anything inter-

esting could be observed through such a small opening in

the wall

With all of these benefits to the ldquoarcherrsquos slitsrdquo

I can only conclude that they are the best of all

windows on our campus Not too big Not too non-

existent Just right rdquo

Over the weekend Rose baseball

took two of the three-game

series against Defiance

College in the Heartland

Collegiate Athletic Confer-

pitched a complete shutout

on Saturday as the Engi-

Singaporersquos First Premier Lee Kuan Dies at 91

Lee Kuan Yew the first prime minister and important political figurehead of Singapore since the countryrsquos inde-pendence in 1965 died Monday at the age of 91

ldquoMr Lee passed away peacefully at the Singapore Gen-eral Hospitalrdquo the announcement from the Prime Ministerrsquos Office said ldquoArrangements for the public to pay respects and for the funeral proceedings will be announced laterrdquo

Mr Lee led Singaporersquos transition from British colonial rule to democracy in 1965 after first joining Malaysia in 1963

As the leader of the Peoplersquos Action Party which was responsible for guiding the transition he won election as the first prime minister of the fledgling democracy Mr Lee remained prime minister for 25 years before handing over leadership in 1990 after which he moved into the advisory role of senior minister

Mr Leersquos style of government was often criticized for its authoritarian characteristics including suppressing free-dom of speech and limiting public assembly but was also a rare example of pragmatic and incorrupt government in the region

Singapore has since become an economic powerhouse and a vital center for international finance and business Mr Lee often described Singapore as a ldquoFirst World oasis in a Third World regionrdquo

Germanwings Co-Pilot Responsible for Plane

Crash in France

A Germanwings co-pilot deliberately crashed his plane into the French Alps Tuesday according to French officials The plane was en route to Duumlsseldorf Germany from Barce-lona Spain was carrying 150 people who all died in the crash

Investigators initially thought that the crash was an ac-cident before recovering the planersquos voice recorders The cockpitrsquos voice recorders captured the last minutes of the flight during which the captain could be heard pleading for the co-pilot to open the door

Andreas Lubitz the co-pilot identified by French inves-tigators reportedly locked the captain out of the cockpit before taking control of the plane Mr Lubitz was initially talkative but became ldquolaconicrdquo in the words of French in-vestigators during the middle of the flight

In the final moments before the crash the captainrsquos pleas to return to the cockpit became more frantic and shouting could be heard coming from the passenger section The voice recorder revealed normal breathing in the cock-pit indicating that Mr Lubitz was aware of his actions

The investigation is likely now to turn from the crash itself to focus on Mr Lubitz and his mental state before the crash A similar incident happened in 1999 when an EgyptAir flight crashed in the Atlantic Ocean after it was determined that the co-pilot deliberately crashed the plane

Situation in Yemen Worsens as Saudi Arabia

Starts Air Strikes

Saudi Arabia and a coalition of other nations started military operations in Yemen Wednesday to halt the ad-vance of Houthi rebels who have taken control of large swaths of the country

Saudi Arabia joins nine other countries in launching air and ground operations in the country The operations are largely seen to secure the long border the nation shares with Yemen Reports from previous weeks said that Saudi Arabia had been amassing troops along the border

The situation in Yemen has continued to deteriorate after Iranian-backed Houthi rebels pushed into the south-ern half of the country forcing President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi to flee the capitol The presidentrsquos wherea-bouts are still unknown

Yemen is also in the midst of dealing with an active campaign by an offshoot of al Qaeda called al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula The region has become the focus of American counterterrorism operations including drone

Students have expressed concern and confusion over work that began this week on improvements being made to Lost Creek the stream that runs along the Student Recreation Center (SRC)

The Indiana Department of Trans-portation (INDOT) are making the im-provements as part of the local IN641 by

-pass project focusing on mitigating the effects of the by-pass on the local water-shed Particular changes include reno-vating the embankments stream path and the flow of the stream with particu-lar attention paid to reducing erosion

Jacob Campbell Director of Envi-ronmental Health and Safety informed students faculty and staff of the project and the disruption to campus as INDOT works on the improvements This was the first time that students were notified of the changes that were to be made to campus

What students were not informed of are the substantial changes being made to the campus Work began by cutting down many of the trees that line the stream including trees between the Apartment Residence Halls and the SRC parking lot Trees along the stream be-hind Cook Stadium have also been marked for removal

Concerned students have questioned why the project has required so many trees to be removed for making improve-ments to the stream

ldquoWhen I first saw all the tree stumps I was a little shockedrdquo freshman Jane Sahabu a member of the Home for Envi-ronmentally Responsible Engineers (HERE) program said ldquoIt seemed to me counterintuitive to remove trees that help stop soil erosionrdquo

Students were also upset at the cost

of chopping down trees that are a part of the scenery on campus

ldquoI am not excited about the changes being made to campusrdquo freshman me-chanical engineer Dan Engstrom said ldquoI think wersquore going to lose a lot of the beauty of the campus and future stu-dents are going to lose out as a result of itrdquo

Although some students were con-fused as to why the improvements were being made civil engineering students are acutely aware of the case for making the improvements ldquoAlthough I hate to see them cut down the trees the im-provements are necessary to improve the water quality of the watershedrdquo jun-ior civil engineer Isaac Gehman ldquoThe project is really about meeting state re-quirements for maintaining the water-shed and improvements to Lost Creek should do sordquo

Students with more knowledge on the subject have suggested that the costs are outweighed by the benefits Another civil engineering student junior Gene Kum corroborated Mr Gehman rsquos state-ment adding that the ldquobanks have been unstable and the trees are nonnative and a pestrdquo Mr Kum also said that ldquotheyrsquore doing it for a reasonhellip it might actually help the creekrdquo

The main issue for those upset is the lack of information available to students about the work being done With a weekrsquos notice and a short email about the closing of the road behind the Hul-man Memorial Student Union students were caught off guard when they saw

entire rows of trees being cut down Students are eager for answers about how this program is going to affect the campus whether or not administrators will respond is the question that needs to be answered

SWERY is one strange

Japanese man Developer of

the cult classic ldquoDeadly

Premonitionrdquo SWERY has

been picked up by Microsoft

Studios to release his latest

work ldquoD4 Dark Dreams

Donrsquot Dierdquo on Xbox One

The player takes control

of David Young a private

detective who was once a

cop He left the force after

the death of his wife a case

that he is still trying to solve

Suffering from amnesia of

the day of her death David

only remembers her last

words ldquoLook for Drdquo This

being the only hint David

must look for ldquoDrdquo and solve

who killed his wife In the

process he is proving that

he is not D (his name is Da-

vid after all)

ldquoD4rdquo takes elements

from classic adventure

games newer classics from

TellTale Games and a buck-

et full of Japanese craziness

to craft something entirely

unique The game was de-

signed for Kinect though I

opted for playing with the

controller Pointing is the

main gameplay mechanic I

can see how that would work

great with Kinect and by all

accounts the game seems to

be one of the better Kinect

experiences available on

Xbox One You explore the

environment looking for

clues and talk-

ing to suspects

There are a lot

of different in-

teractions with

characters and

dialogue trees

similar to Tell-

Tale rsquos ldquoThe

Walking Deadrdquo

But the key to

this game is how

SWERY has

translated the mechanics to

be distinctly Japanese For

example rather than just

talking to people you have

the option to push them

eliciting different types of

conversations

ldquoD4rdquo has an intriguing

story The world is odd

which played a part in hav-

ing me on the edge of my

seat the entire time Charac-

ters are incredibly original

and interesting They donrsquot

follow typical archetypes

that tend to be played out

For example one character

is a cat lady but not the kind

of cat lady you think she

literally thinks she is a cat

She wears a bow and has a

collar She even chases mice

and meows Incredibly weird

characters like this made

every interaction in the

game interesting and fun I

kept moving through the

plot and talking to everyone

just to see what they would

say or do next

The game takes place in

Boston but it is clear that

the designer of the game

SWERY has absolutely no

idea what Boston is actually

like or how people in Boston

actually talk They have long

conversations about Boston

foods such as clam chowder

It shows that SWERY knows

that they are known for it

but itrsquos so blunt and lasts so

long that it just comes off

that SWERY clearly has no

idea And why should he

He is a Japanese game de-

signer who visits the

United States a few

times a year at most

He may not have even

been to Boston All of

this sounds like I am

ragging on the game

but in reality all of the

oddities that SWERY

brings to the world

really makes the game

If this was a straight-

forward mystery game

set in Boston it would be

super boring Seeing how

SWERY tries to translate

what he knows about the

United States into a story

and misses the point so of-

ten is a highlight because it

is so hilarious You never get

mad about the misunder-

standings It just so appeal-

ing in an odd way that you

want to learn about the crazy

alternate Boston this mad-

man has crafted

My only real complaint

about ldquoD4rdquo is that the game

has a pointless energy sys-

tem You have to keep eating

or else David will pass out

from exhaustion But the

simplest things drain a ton

of energy Every time you

talk it takes off one percent

off the meter and something

as simple as moving a table

takes around 15 percent

This leads to tons of food

being available in the envi-

ronment even if it makes

absolutely no sense For ex-

ample part of the game

takes place on a plane I was

running low on energy and

found an entire hamburger

and fries dinner along with a

drink in the overhead bin

That is insane Though one

could say this adds to the

charm of the game I found

it to be more frustrating

ldquoD4rdquo is a solid game for

Xbox One Itrsquos definitely not

a typical experience and has

quite a few quirks but at its

core the game is just a fun

time and is totally worth

checking out

Like most PC users I love Steam

sales There is always the temptation

to grab a game for a ridiculous bar-

gain and sometimes itrsquos just too

good to pass up Such was the case

with the recent 2K anniversary sale

last weekend Included in that was

ldquoSid Meierrsquos Civilization Beyond

Earthrdquo and ldquoSid Meierrsquos Starshipsrdquo

ldquoBeyond Earthrdquo is the next in-

stallment in the extremely popular

and extraordinarily addictive Civili-

zation series which tasks players

with raising a civilization one city at

a time The big change with this new

game is that as the title suggests

you are not on

earth anymore

and are instead

colonizing an

a l ien wo rld

Gone are the fa-

mous historical

figures like Attila

the Hun Alexan-

der the Great

and the nuclear

warmonger Ma-

hatma Gandhi

The basis for this

colonization is

grounded in the

ldquoGreat Mistakerdquo

some kind of

global cataclysm

that made the

entire Earth un-

livable In the

chaos that fol-

lowed new pow-

ers began to

emerge some

fusions of exist-

ing countries we

know today

some radically

different Notable examples include

the American Reclamation Corpora-

tion a corporation that literally

bought America from the US gov-

ernment Polystralia consisting of

Australia and the pacific islands and

the Slavic Federation the USSR

reborn

The basics of the gameplay have-

nrsquot changed too drastically in the

jump to the far reaches of the uni-

verse but there are some notable

new features that may excite (or con-

fuse) veteran Civilization players

Most of the Civilization staples are

still present some with more tweaks

than others The barbarians have

been replaced with the native life

forms of the new world and the

technology tree is no longer linear

but rather a large nonlinear web for

researching new technology

The biggest addition is the Affin-

ity system Almost every action you

take in game from researching to

exploration adds to one of three Af-

finity levels Purity Harmony and

Supremacy Each of these can

change the game in new and exciting

ways

Purity stems from the age-old

belief that humanity is better than

any species it could come across in

this case that would be the native

ldquoalienrdquo(since you are technically the

alien on this world) life Purity soci-

eties attempt to stay as ldquoEarth-likerdquo

as possible using mech-suits and

domes to keep themselves isolated

from the new world

Supremacy strives to improve

humanity in any way possible most

often through advanced robotics and

cybernetics They replace everything

with sleek robotic designs and even-

tually rely on combat robots and un-

manned vehicles to fight their bat-

tles

A Harmony society accepts the

new surroundings and attempts to

coexist with the native life It strives

to be at one with the new ecosystem

even genetically modifies itself to

adapt to the ecosystem and eventu-

ally can create its own versions of the

native life

The game plays exactly like any

other Civilization game before it

although this game succeeds in cre-

ating an atmosphere of wonder and

overwhelming naiveteacute as you venture

out into the unknown Most of that

stems from the minimal tutorials

and the large scope of the lands It

takes much longer to explore this

new frontier the native lifeforms are

more numerous than barbarians ever

were and they can quickly over-

whelm you without much notice

The new tech trees are generally con-

fusing and itrsquos hard to understand

why interstellar travelers have to

research Physics again I am looking

forward to playing this game a lot

then seeing what crazy mods the

community will come up with

If you have gained the confidence to ask

your crush out congratulations for having

the courage to do so in the first place If they

said yes itrsquos time to start planning the big

first date Most of you have your ideal date

scenario in mind but just in case yoursquore a bit

lost I have several tips that can help you

Before you go out do some research on

what your crush is interested in Are they

into movies sports nature or other hob-

bies If you both have something in common

or some common activity the two of you want

to try go for it

Do not take that person to something that

you like and they will hate You want the

date to be enjoyable for the both

of you not just the one

The conversations held on a

date are one of the most im-

portant parts Make it the goal of

the date to get to know the other

person better If the conversation

focuses on you too much try to

shift it over to the other person

Listen closely when your crush

is talking and be ready to respond

with a follow-up question One

word responses are the gateway

to awkward pauses which should

be avoided

Always maintain confidence

Do not ask questions like ldquohow do

you think the date is goingrdquo or

ldquoare we a good matchrdquo These

questions make you appear insecure in your

date planning skills as well and can ruin the

date quickly Just remember that you asked

the person out and they said yes

Last week it felt like spring was starting

to come around This week however the

weather has been nothing but the ghost of

winters past Who knows when the weath-

er will start to stabilize Until then

here is a list of things to keep

you occupied during this tumul-

tuous purgatory between spring

and winter

The one task that is somewhat easier to

complete during this limbo season is

homework The only things that can dis-

tract you are inside activities When you

finish watching your favorite

show or playing a game you can

try to start homework When

spring comes around the temp-

tation to procrastinate will be

even stronger as you will have

distractions both inside and out

Try to take advantage of these

rainy brisk days to train yourself

to power through the homework

because the temptation to blow it

off during the warm months will

be twice as high

While the weather is still cold

take advantage of the main com-

modities of fall and winter

sweaters and warm drinks This

is the last time to experience this

sweater weather so to speak As

soon as spring rolls around the

sweaters go away

Additionally your craving for

warm beverages midday general-

ly will subside when those 80-

degree days roll around Start

thinking of a cold midday caf-

feinated drink substitute for

spring and summer months be-

cause the weather could change

in the blink of an eye

Another thing to take care of

during spring is your car Now is

a great time if you havenrsquot al-

ready to get your car washed and

clean it out for those spring

drives Before you take a day trip

to Indianapolis or another big

city be sure to get your tires

filled with air Though itrsquos a

chore your wallet will thank you

when you save on gas

I for one am very impatient and

cannot wait for spring to get started

However though the weather is

still gloomy there are plenty of

things to enjoy and do during

this unusual time

Ah pasta a food that most of

us have become experts of in col-

lege A particular favorite is

macaroni and cheese For the

limited amount of time we get

for cooking here are two recipes

for quick and on-the-go mac and

cheese

These recipes can get you out

of the kitchen quickly and back

to doing what you need to do to

survive Rose-Hulman

If you need to grab food on the

go these mac and cheese muf-

fins go where you go

2 cups cooked warm elbow mac-

aroni pasta

1 tablespoon butter

1 beaten egg

1 cup milk

1 frac12 cups shredded sharp ched-

dar cheese

1 frac12 cups shredded mozzarella

cheese

frac12 cup seasoned dry bread

crumbs

2 teaspoons olive oil

frac12 teaspoons olive oil

Preheat the oven to 350 de-

grees Grease a muffin pan and

mix together the bread crumbs

olive oil and salt in a bowl

In another bowl stir in the

butter and egg until the pasta is

evenly coated Stir in one cup of

cheddar cheese Add the milk

mozzarella and cheese into the

pasta and transfer the mixture to

the muffin tin Top the

muffins with the cheddar

cheese and breadcrumb

mixture

Bake the muffins for

30 minutes in the oven or

until the toppings are

nicely browned Once

done allow the muffins to

cool in the pan before re-

moving them

By allowing them to

cool in the pan the

cheese has time set and

the muffins will hold

their shape

If you do not have the time

to make muffin-sized pasta

and are lacking those instant

macaroni cups this quick

macaroni recipe will get you

fed and back to work

13 cup pasta

frac12 cup water

frac14 1 milk

frac12 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Add the pasta and water in a large

mug or bowl Microwave the pasta

and water for two minutes and

stir several times

Place the cup or bowl in the

microwave for another two to

four minutes stirring at each

two-minute interval The pasta

should cook through but if it

doesnrsquot add another teaspoon of

water and microwave for another

minute

Remove the mixture from the

microwave and stir in the milk

and cheese Microwave for an-

other minute and stir The pasta

is ready to eat

As residents of the Apartments

East Residence Hall my roommates

and I enjoy the relaxation of cooking

our own dinner most nights Because

of this our kitchen is a very im-

portant part of our experience here

at Rose and so far it has served its

purpose reasonably well

There are minor issues like the

stove hood not actually venting any-

where except back in your face but

the stove hasnrsquot broken the oven

hasnrsquot broken the fridge has broken

and the sink hasnrsquot broken yet With

that said taking a closer look at each

part of the kitchen reveals more

The kitchen island is a fairly

standard layout with a sink in

the middle and bar seating on

the opposite side

This is where your main

counter space is probably going

to end up if yoursquore anything like

my roommates and have a micro-

wave a coffee maker or any oth-

er appliance normally kept on

the counter

To this end the island countertop

space is big enough to fit the largest cut-

ting boards I have ever seen which makes

it really plenty reasonable especially if you

move the bar chairs to use that space as

well This also leaves an equivalently sized

countertop area on the other end of the

island by the wall which is less accessible

but includes an outlet

Really the most serious problem

with the island is that there isnrsquot an outlet

on the non-wall side of the island making

using appliances an issue sometimes

On the other side of the kitchen

we have the main counter with the

fridge and oven stovetop combo On

this side of the kitchen we find a lot

more outlets for plugging in things

like your microwave or toaster oven

The stove itself is just as good as any

other electric stove though the dial

placement does leave something to

be desired when yoursquore making pasta

and trying to turn off the burner us-

ing the dial directly behind the pot

The oven on the other hand

definitely leaves you wanting The

ovens in the Apartments do not in-

clude either an internal light or a

viewing window both of which are

features on my old homersquos 40-year-

old oven

Quite frankly I donrsquot understand

those design choices since in order

to check on whateverrsquos baking I have

to open the oven get out my cell-

phone turn on my cellphone light

and then look at my food This is

wasteful of both heat and effort

when in any other oven you could

just press a button to turn on the

light and glance through the window

Above all of

this we have

the cabinets

and stove

hood As

p r e v i o u s l y

m e n t i o n e d

the stove

hood doesnrsquot

actually do anything to help be-

sides blow greasy air in your face

if you actually turn it on It does

however come with a sometimes

useful light

The cabinets are fairly stand-

ard affairs and donrsquot have any

particular problems

The kitchen layout as a whole

is fairly reasonable with lack of

built in storage space being the

only problem That is easily

solved by purchasing your own

shelving unit though

There is space for three or

four people to stand in the kitch-

en without undue bumping of

elbows and therersquos plenty of

room for your old bottles to sit

up on top of the cabinets

Overall the kitchen is a fair-

ly good kitchen with no particu-

larly serious issues even if the

oven design makes no sense

I do not mind sitting indoors while trying to get some

work done but the spring weather that has been coming

back lately has made it harder and harder to focus It is a

little better where there are no windows such as a Crapo

classrooms but then there is a feeling of sitting in a prison

cell and being isolated from the weather outside In Olin

the large spans of glass between the outside and the class-

room can be too distracting or too eerie

The one place on campus where a nice balance

seems to have been struck is in the Logan Library

In the back corner of the first floor is the large

conference room and the size of the windows in

that room is just right Goldilocks herself would

approve of the middle ground these openings

strike

The first accolade for these windows is the appropri-

ate level of exposure I have heard the complaints that

those windows are more like archerrsquos slits in a castle wall

but I think this is too hasty of an assessment They do not

let in a lot of sunlight but that also means they keep in a

lot of focus on the meeting topics on hand Besides who

doesnrsquot want to feel like he is sitting inside the walls of a

castle

It is a lot easier to keep the mind from wandering

without the imagery of classmates frolicking in the Quad

during the spurts of nicer weather It is also a lot easier to

keep from feeling dreary during the spurts of gray weath-

er that come back to haunt us during the fickle springtime

in Indiana There is just enough isolation offered to allow

a view of the outdoors when sought and to prevent acci-

dentally daydreaming otherwise

An added benefit that comes from the narrow size of

these windows is the privacy Sometimes I just do not

want to look up and see someone staring into my class-

room at what is being done or by whom on his way past

In this meeting room I do

not have to worry about

that Those windows are so

narrow that only a truly

dedicated observer who is

willing to hoist himself

right up to the slit and peer

into it would be able to

watch me and my team-

mates at work I like to

think someone else on

campus would knock him

right off his step stool or

ladder and tell him to stop

being such a creepy person

Finally it provides me

with the opportunity to

observe passersby unno-

ticed Sure I do not want

anyone else peering into

the windows at me but I

do not see the harm in peo-

ple watching if no one is

upset by noticing From the

end of the table farthest from that delightfully propor-

tioned slit in the wall it is possible to cast an eye out onto

the sidewalk I can take note of what the latest clothing

styles are how much the wind is going to later perturb my

hairstyle and which individuals have the bad habit of

spitting onto the sidewalks The best part is that no one

else in the meeting will suspect my wandering attention

since it does not often occur to them that anything inter-

esting could be observed through such a small opening in

the wall

With all of these benefits to the ldquoarcherrsquos slitsrdquo

I can only conclude that they are the best of all

windows on our campus Not too big Not too non-

existent Just right rdquo

SWERY is one strange

Japanese man Developer of

the cult classic ldquoDeadly

Premonitionrdquo SWERY has

been picked up by Microsoft

Studios to release his latest

work ldquoD4 Dark Dreams

Donrsquot Dierdquo on Xbox One

The player takes control

of David Young a private

detective who was once a

cop He left the force after

the death of his wife a case

that he is still trying to solve

Suffering from amnesia of

the day of her death David

only remembers her last

words ldquoLook for Drdquo This

being the only hint David

must look for ldquoDrdquo and solve

who killed his wife In the

process he is proving that

he is not D (his name is Da-

vid after all)

ldquoD4rdquo takes elements

from classic adventure

games newer classics from

TellTale Games and a buck-

et full of Japanese craziness

to craft something entirely

unique The game was de-

signed for Kinect though I

opted for playing with the

controller Pointing is the

main gameplay mechanic I

can see how that would work

great with Kinect and by all

accounts the game seems to

be one of the better Kinect

experiences available on

Xbox One You explore the

environment looking for

clues and talk-

ing to suspects

There are a lot

of different in-

teractions with

characters and

dialogue trees

similar to Tell-

Tale rsquos ldquoThe

Walking Deadrdquo

But the key to

this game is how

SWERY has

translated the mechanics to

be distinctly Japanese For

example rather than just

talking to people you have

the option to push them

eliciting different types of

conversations

ldquoD4rdquo has an intriguing

story The world is odd

which played a part in hav-

ing me on the edge of my

seat the entire time Charac-

ters are incredibly original

and interesting They donrsquot

follow typical archetypes

that tend to be played out

For example one character

is a cat lady but not the kind

of cat lady you think she

literally thinks she is a cat

She wears a bow and has a

collar She even chases mice

and meows Incredibly weird

characters like this made

every interaction in the

game interesting and fun I

kept moving through the

plot and talking to everyone

just to see what they would

say or do next

The game takes place in

Boston but it is clear that

the designer of the game

SWERY has absolutely no

idea what Boston is actually

like or how people in Boston

actually talk They have long

conversations about Boston

foods such as clam chowder

It shows that SWERY knows

that they are known for it

but itrsquos so blunt and lasts so

long that it just comes off

that SWERY clearly has no

idea And why should he

He is a Japanese game de-

signer who visits the

United States a few

times a year at most

He may not have even

been to Boston All of

this sounds like I am

ragging on the game

but in reality all of the

oddities that SWERY

brings to the world

really makes the game

If this was a straight-

forward mystery game

set in Boston it would be

super boring Seeing how

SWERY tries to translate

what he knows about the

United States into a story

and misses the point so of-

ten is a highlight because it

is so hilarious You never get

mad about the misunder-

standings It just so appeal-

ing in an odd way that you

want to learn about the crazy

alternate Boston this mad-

man has crafted

My only real complaint

about ldquoD4rdquo is that the game

has a pointless energy sys-

tem You have to keep eating

or else David will pass out

from exhaustion But the

simplest things drain a ton

of energy Every time you

talk it takes off one percent

off the meter and something

as simple as moving a table

takes around 15 percent

This leads to tons of food

being available in the envi-

ronment even if it makes

absolutely no sense For ex-

ample part of the game

takes place on a plane I was

running low on energy and

found an entire hamburger

and fries dinner along with a

drink in the overhead bin

That is insane Though one

could say this adds to the

charm of the game I found

it to be more frustrating

ldquoD4rdquo is a solid game for

Xbox One Itrsquos definitely not

a typical experience and has

quite a few quirks but at its

core the game is just a fun

time and is totally worth

checking out

Like most PC users I love Steam

sales There is always the temptation

to grab a game for a ridiculous bar-

gain and sometimes itrsquos just too

good to pass up Such was the case

with the recent 2K anniversary sale

last weekend Included in that was

ldquoSid Meierrsquos Civilization Beyond

Earthrdquo and ldquoSid Meierrsquos Starshipsrdquo

ldquoBeyond Earthrdquo is the next in-

stallment in the extremely popular

and extraordinarily addictive Civili-

zation series which tasks players

with raising a civilization one city at

a time The big change with this new

game is that as the title suggests

you are not on

earth anymore

and are instead

colonizing an

a l ien wo rld

Gone are the fa-

mous historical

figures like Attila

the Hun Alexan-

der the Great

and the nuclear

warmonger Ma-

hatma Gandhi

The basis for this

colonization is

grounded in the

ldquoGreat Mistakerdquo

some kind of

global cataclysm

that made the

entire Earth un-

livable In the

chaos that fol-

lowed new pow-

ers began to

emerge some

fusions of exist-

ing countries we

know today

some radically

different Notable examples include

the American Reclamation Corpora-

tion a corporation that literally

bought America from the US gov-

ernment Polystralia consisting of

Australia and the pacific islands and

the Slavic Federation the USSR

reborn

The basics of the gameplay have-

nrsquot changed too drastically in the

jump to the far reaches of the uni-

verse but there are some notable

new features that may excite (or con-

fuse) veteran Civilization players

Most of the Civilization staples are

still present some with more tweaks

than others The barbarians have

been replaced with the native life

forms of the new world and the

technology tree is no longer linear

but rather a large nonlinear web for

researching new technology

The biggest addition is the Affin-

ity system Almost every action you

take in game from researching to

exploration adds to one of three Af-

finity levels Purity Harmony and

Supremacy Each of these can

change the game in new and exciting

ways

Purity stems from the age-old

belief that humanity is better than

any species it could come across in

this case that would be the native

ldquoalienrdquo(since you are technically the

alien on this world) life Purity soci-

eties attempt to stay as ldquoEarth-likerdquo

as possible using mech-suits and

domes to keep themselves isolated

from the new world

Supremacy strives to improve

humanity in any way possible most

often through advanced robotics and

cybernetics They replace everything

with sleek robotic designs and even-

tually rely on combat robots and un-

manned vehicles to fight their bat-

tles

A Harmony society accepts the

new surroundings and attempts to

coexist with the native life It strives

to be at one with the new ecosystem

even genetically modifies itself to

adapt to the ecosystem and eventu-

ally can create its own versions of the

native life

The game plays exactly like any

other Civilization game before it

although this game succeeds in cre-

ating an atmosphere of wonder and

overwhelming naiveteacute as you venture

out into the unknown Most of that

stems from the minimal tutorials

and the large scope of the lands It

takes much longer to explore this

new frontier the native lifeforms are

more numerous than barbarians ever

were and they can quickly over-

whelm you without much notice

The new tech trees are generally con-

fusing and itrsquos hard to understand

why interstellar travelers have to

research Physics again I am looking

forward to playing this game a lot

then seeing what crazy mods the

community will come up with

If you have gained the confidence to ask

your crush out congratulations for having

the courage to do so in the first place If they

said yes itrsquos time to start planning the big

first date Most of you have your ideal date

scenario in mind but just in case yoursquore a bit

lost I have several tips that can help you

Before you go out do some research on

what your crush is interested in Are they

into movies sports nature or other hob-

bies If you both have something in common

or some common activity the two of you want

to try go for it

Do not take that person to something that

you like and they will hate You want the

date to be enjoyable for the both

of you not just the one

The conversations held on a

date are one of the most im-

portant parts Make it the goal of

the date to get to know the other

person better If the conversation

focuses on you too much try to

shift it over to the other person

Listen closely when your crush

is talking and be ready to respond

with a follow-up question One

word responses are the gateway

to awkward pauses which should

be avoided

Always maintain confidence

Do not ask questions like ldquohow do

you think the date is goingrdquo or

ldquoare we a good matchrdquo These

questions make you appear insecure in your

date planning skills as well and can ruin the

date quickly Just remember that you asked

the person out and they said yes

Last week it felt like spring was starting

to come around This week however the

weather has been nothing but the ghost of

winters past Who knows when the weath-

er will start to stabilize Until then

here is a list of things to keep

you occupied during this tumul-

tuous purgatory between spring

and winter

The one task that is somewhat easier to

complete during this limbo season is

homework The only things that can dis-

tract you are inside activities When you

finish watching your favorite

show or playing a game you can

try to start homework When

spring comes around the temp-

tation to procrastinate will be

even stronger as you will have

distractions both inside and out

Try to take advantage of these

rainy brisk days to train yourself

to power through the homework

because the temptation to blow it

off during the warm months will

be twice as high

While the weather is still cold

take advantage of the main com-

modities of fall and winter

sweaters and warm drinks This

is the last time to experience this

sweater weather so to speak As

soon as spring rolls around the

sweaters go away

Additionally your craving for

warm beverages midday general-

ly will subside when those 80-

degree days roll around Start

thinking of a cold midday caf-

feinated drink substitute for

spring and summer months be-

cause the weather could change

in the blink of an eye

Another thing to take care of

during spring is your car Now is

a great time if you havenrsquot al-

ready to get your car washed and

clean it out for those spring

drives Before you take a day trip

to Indianapolis or another big

city be sure to get your tires

filled with air Though itrsquos a

chore your wallet will thank you

when you save on gas

I for one am very impatient and

cannot wait for spring to get started

However though the weather is

still gloomy there are plenty of

things to enjoy and do during

this unusual time

Ah pasta a food that most of

us have become experts of in col-

lege A particular favorite is

macaroni and cheese For the

limited amount of time we get

for cooking here are two recipes

for quick and on-the-go mac and

cheese

These recipes can get you out

of the kitchen quickly and back

to doing what you need to do to

survive Rose-Hulman

If you need to grab food on the

go these mac and cheese muf-

fins go where you go

2 cups cooked warm elbow mac-

aroni pasta

1 tablespoon butter

1 beaten egg

1 cup milk

1 frac12 cups shredded sharp ched-

dar cheese

1 frac12 cups shredded mozzarella

cheese

frac12 cup seasoned dry bread

crumbs

2 teaspoons olive oil

frac12 teaspoons olive oil

Preheat the oven to 350 de-

grees Grease a muffin pan and

mix together the bread crumbs

olive oil and salt in a bowl

In another bowl stir in the

butter and egg until the pasta is

evenly coated Stir in one cup of

cheddar cheese Add the milk

mozzarella and cheese into the

pasta and transfer the mixture to

the muffin tin Top the

muffins with the cheddar

cheese and breadcrumb

mixture

Bake the muffins for

30 minutes in the oven or

until the toppings are

nicely browned Once

done allow the muffins to

cool in the pan before re-

moving them

By allowing them to

cool in the pan the

cheese has time set and

the muffins will hold

their shape

If you do not have the time

to make muffin-sized pasta

and are lacking those instant

macaroni cups this quick

macaroni recipe will get you

fed and back to work

13 cup pasta

frac12 cup water

frac14 1 milk

frac12 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Add the pasta and water in a large

mug or bowl Microwave the pasta

and water for two minutes and

stir several times

Place the cup or bowl in the

microwave for another two to

four minutes stirring at each

two-minute interval The pasta

should cook through but if it

doesnrsquot add another teaspoon of

water and microwave for another

minute

Remove the mixture from the

microwave and stir in the milk

and cheese Microwave for an-

other minute and stir The pasta

is ready to eat

A first date can go well if you keep your cool forwallpapercom

As residents of the Apartments

East Residence Hall my roommates

and I enjoy the relaxation of cooking

our own dinner most nights Because

of this our kitchen is a very im-

portant part of our experience here

at Rose and so far it has served its

purpose reasonably well

There are minor issues like the

stove hood not actually venting any-

where except back in your face but

the stove hasnrsquot broken the oven

hasnrsquot broken the fridge has broken

and the sink hasnrsquot broken yet With

that said taking a closer look at each

part of the kitchen reveals more

The kitchen island is a fairly

standard layout with a sink in

the middle and bar seating on

the opposite side

This is where your main

counter space is probably going

to end up if yoursquore anything like

my roommates and have a micro-

wave a coffee maker or any oth-

er appliance normally kept on

the counter

To this end the island countertop

space is big enough to fit the largest cut-

ting boards I have ever seen which makes

it really plenty reasonable especially if you

move the bar chairs to use that space as

well This also leaves an equivalently sized

countertop area on the other end of the

island by the wall which is less accessible

but includes an outlet

Really the most serious problem

with the island is that there isnrsquot an outlet

on the non-wall side of the island making

using appliances an issue sometimes

On the other side of the kitchen

we have the main counter with the

fridge and oven stovetop combo On

this side of the kitchen we find a lot

more outlets for plugging in things

like your microwave or toaster oven

The stove itself is just as good as any

other electric stove though the dial

placement does leave something to

be desired when yoursquore making pasta

and trying to turn off the burner us-

ing the dial directly behind the pot

The oven on the other hand

definitely leaves you wanting The

ovens in the Apartments do not in-

clude either an internal light or a

viewing window both of which are

features on my old homersquos 40-year-

old oven

Quite frankly I donrsquot understand

those design choices since in order

to check on whateverrsquos baking I have

to open the oven get out my cell-

phone turn on my cellphone light

and then look at my food This is

wasteful of both heat and effort

when in any other oven you could

just press a button to turn on the

light and glance through the window

Above all of

this we have

the cabinets

and stove

hood As

p r e v i o u s l y

m e n t i o n e d

the stove

hood doesnrsquot

actually do anything to help be-

sides blow greasy air in your face

if you actually turn it on It does

however come with a sometimes

useful light

The cabinets are fairly stand-

ard affairs and donrsquot have any

particular problems

The kitchen layout as a whole

is fairly reasonable with lack of

built in storage space being the

only problem That is easily

solved by purchasing your own

shelving unit though

There is space for three or

four people to stand in the kitch-

en without undue bumping of

elbows and therersquos plenty of

room for your old bottles to sit

up on top of the cabinets

Overall the kitchen is a fair-

ly good kitchen with no particu-

larly serious issues even if the

oven design makes no sense

A rare occurrence of our kitchen being clean

I do not mind sitting indoors while trying to get some

work done but the spring weather that has been coming

back lately has made it harder and harder to focus It is a

little better where there are no windows such as a Crapo

classrooms but then there is a feeling of sitting in a prison

cell and being isolated from the weather outside In Olin

the large spans of glass between the outside and the class-

room can be too distracting or too eerie

The one place on campus where a nice balance

seems to have been struck is in the Logan Library

In the back corner of the first floor is the large

conference room and the size of the windows in

that room is just right Goldilocks herself would

approve of the middle ground these openings

strike

The first accolade for these windows is the appropri-

ate level of exposure I have heard the complaints that

those windows are more like archerrsquos slits in a castle wall

but I think this is too hasty of an assessment They do not

let in a lot of sunlight but that also means they keep in a

lot of focus on the meeting topics on hand Besides who

doesnrsquot want to feel like he is sitting inside the walls of a

castle

It is a lot easier to keep the mind from wandering

without the imagery of classmates frolicking in the Quad

during the spurts of nicer weather It is also a lot easier to

keep from feeling dreary during the spurts of gray weath-

er that come back to haunt us during the fickle springtime

in Indiana There is just enough isolation offered to allow

a view of the outdoors when sought and to prevent acci-

dentally daydreaming otherwise

An added benefit that comes from the narrow size of

these windows is the privacy Sometimes I just do not

want to look up and see someone staring into my class-

room at what is being done or by whom on his way past

In this meeting room I do

not have to worry about

that Those windows are so

narrow that only a truly

dedicated observer who is

willing to hoist himself

right up to the slit and peer

into it would be able to

watch me and my team-

mates at work I like to

think someone else on

campus would knock him

right off his step stool or

ladder and tell him to stop

being such a creepy person

Finally it provides me

with the opportunity to

observe passersby unno-

ticed Sure I do not want

anyone else peering into

the windows at me but I

do not see the harm in peo-

ple watching if no one is

upset by noticing From the

end of the table farthest from that delightfully propor-

tioned slit in the wall it is possible to cast an eye out onto

the sidewalk I can take note of what the latest clothing

styles are how much the wind is going to later perturb my

hairstyle and which individuals have the bad habit of

spitting onto the sidewalks The best part is that no one

else in the meeting will suspect my wandering attention

since it does not often occur to them that anything inter-

esting could be observed through such a small opening in

the wall

With all of these benefits to the ldquoarcherrsquos slitsrdquo

I can only conclude that they are the best of all

windows on our campus Not too big Not too non-

existent Just right rdquo

If you have gained the confidence to ask

your crush out congratulations for having

the courage to do so in the first place If they

said yes itrsquos time to start planning the big

first date Most of you have your ideal date

scenario in mind but just in case yoursquore a bit

lost I have several tips that can help you

Before you go out do some research on

what your crush is interested in Are they

into movies sports nature or other hob-

bies If you both have something in common

or some common activity the two of you want

to try go for it

Do not take that person to something that

you like and they will hate You want the

date to be enjoyable for the both

of you not just the one

The conversations held on a

date are one of the most im-

portant parts Make it the goal of

the date to get to know the other

person better If the conversation

focuses on you too much try to

shift it over to the other person

Listen closely when your crush

is talking and be ready to respond

with a follow-up question One

word responses are the gateway

to awkward pauses which should

be avoided

Always maintain confidence

Do not ask questions like ldquohow do

you think the date is goingrdquo or

ldquoare we a good matchrdquo These

questions make you appear insecure in your

date planning skills as well and can ruin the

date quickly Just remember that you asked

the person out and they said yes

Last week it felt like spring was starting

to come around This week however the

weather has been nothing but the ghost of

winters past Who knows when the weath-

er will start to stabilize Until then

here is a list of things to keep

you occupied during this tumul-

tuous purgatory between spring

and winter

The one task that is somewhat easier to

complete during this limbo season is

homework The only things that can dis-

tract you are inside activities When you

finish watching your favorite

show or playing a game you can

try to start homework When

spring comes around the temp-

tation to procrastinate will be

even stronger as you will have

distractions both inside and out

Try to take advantage of these

rainy brisk days to train yourself

to power through the homework

because the temptation to blow it

off during the warm months will

be twice as high

While the weather is still cold

take advantage of the main com-

modities of fall and winter

sweaters and warm drinks This

is the last time to experience this

sweater weather so to speak As

soon as spring rolls around the

sweaters go away

Additionally your craving for

warm beverages midday general-

ly will subside when those 80-

degree days roll around Start

thinking of a cold midday caf-

feinated drink substitute for

spring and summer months be-

cause the weather could change

in the blink of an eye

Another thing to take care of

during spring is your car Now is

a great time if you havenrsquot al-

ready to get your car washed and

clean it out for those spring

drives Before you take a day trip

to Indianapolis or another big

city be sure to get your tires

filled with air Though itrsquos a

chore your wallet will thank you

when you save on gas

I for one am very impatient and

cannot wait for spring to get started

However though the weather is

still gloomy there are plenty of

things to enjoy and do during

this unusual time

Ah pasta a food that most of

us have become experts of in col-

lege A particular favorite is

macaroni and cheese For the

limited amount of time we get

for cooking here are two recipes

for quick and on-the-go mac and

cheese

These recipes can get you out

of the kitchen quickly and back

to doing what you need to do to

survive Rose-Hulman

If you need to grab food on the

go these mac and cheese muf-

fins go where you go

2 cups cooked warm elbow mac-

aroni pasta

1 tablespoon butter

1 beaten egg

1 cup milk

1 frac12 cups shredded sharp ched-

dar cheese

1 frac12 cups shredded mozzarella

cheese

frac12 cup seasoned dry bread

crumbs

2 teaspoons olive oil

frac12 teaspoons olive oil

Preheat the oven to 350 de-

grees Grease a muffin pan and

mix together the bread crumbs

olive oil and salt in a bowl

In another bowl stir in the

butter and egg until the pasta is

evenly coated Stir in one cup of

cheddar cheese Add the milk

mozzarella and cheese into the

pasta and transfer the mixture to

the muffin tin Top the

muffins with the cheddar

cheese and breadcrumb

mixture

Bake the muffins for

30 minutes in the oven or

until the toppings are

nicely browned Once

done allow the muffins to

cool in the pan before re-

moving them

By allowing them to

cool in the pan the

cheese has time set and

the muffins will hold

their shape

If you do not have the time

to make muffin-sized pasta

and are lacking those instant

macaroni cups this quick

macaroni recipe will get you

fed and back to work

13 cup pasta

frac12 cup water

frac14 1 milk

frac12 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Add the pasta and water in a large

mug or bowl Microwave the pasta

and water for two minutes and

stir several times

Place the cup or bowl in the

microwave for another two to

four minutes stirring at each

two-minute interval The pasta

should cook through but if it

doesnrsquot add another teaspoon of

water and microwave for another

minute

Remove the mixture from the

microwave and stir in the milk

and cheese Microwave for an-

other minute and stir The pasta

is ready to eat

A first date can go well if you keep your cool forwallpapercom

Before mother nature makes up her mind take advantage of the season in between

As residents of the Apartments

East Residence Hall my roommates

and I enjoy the relaxation of cooking

our own dinner most nights Because

of this our kitchen is a very im-

portant part of our experience here

at Rose and so far it has served its

purpose reasonably well

There are minor issues like the

stove hood not actually venting any-

where except back in your face but

the stove hasnrsquot broken the oven

hasnrsquot broken the fridge has broken

and the sink hasnrsquot broken yet With

that said taking a closer look at each

part of the kitchen reveals more

The kitchen island is a fairly

standard layout with a sink in

the middle and bar seating on

the opposite side

This is where your main

counter space is probably going

to end up if yoursquore anything like

my roommates and have a micro-

wave a coffee maker or any oth-

er appliance normally kept on

the counter

To this end the island countertop

space is big enough to fit the largest cut-

ting boards I have ever seen which makes

it really plenty reasonable especially if you

move the bar chairs to use that space as

well This also leaves an equivalently sized

countertop area on the other end of the

island by the wall which is less accessible

but includes an outlet

Really the most serious problem

with the island is that there isnrsquot an outlet

on the non-wall side of the island making

using appliances an issue sometimes

On the other side of the kitchen

we have the main counter with the

fridge and oven stovetop combo On

this side of the kitchen we find a lot

more outlets for plugging in things

like your microwave or toaster oven

The stove itself is just as good as any

other electric stove though the dial

placement does leave something to

be desired when yoursquore making pasta

and trying to turn off the burner us-

ing the dial directly behind the pot

The oven on the other hand

definitely leaves you wanting The

ovens in the Apartments do not in-

clude either an internal light or a

viewing window both of which are

features on my old homersquos 40-year-

old oven

Quite frankly I donrsquot understand

those design choices since in order

to check on whateverrsquos baking I have

to open the oven get out my cell-

phone turn on my cellphone light

and then look at my food This is

wasteful of both heat and effort

when in any other oven you could

just press a button to turn on the

light and glance through the window

Above all of

this we have

the cabinets

and stove

hood As

p r e v i o u s l y

m e n t i o n e d

the stove

hood doesnrsquot

actually do anything to help be-

sides blow greasy air in your face

if you actually turn it on It does

however come with a sometimes

useful light

The cabinets are fairly stand-

ard affairs and donrsquot have any

particular problems

The kitchen layout as a whole

is fairly reasonable with lack of

built in storage space being the

only problem That is easily

solved by purchasing your own

shelving unit though

There is space for three or

four people to stand in the kitch-

en without undue bumping of

elbows and therersquos plenty of

room for your old bottles to sit

up on top of the cabinets

Overall the kitchen is a fair-

ly good kitchen with no particu-

larly serious issues even if the

oven design makes no sense

I do not mind sitting indoors while trying to get some

work done but the spring weather that has been coming

back lately has made it harder and harder to focus It is a

little better where there are no windows such as a Crapo

classrooms but then there is a feeling of sitting in a prison

cell and being isolated from the weather outside In Olin

the large spans of glass between the outside and the class-

room can be too distracting or too eerie

The one place on campus where a nice balance

seems to have been struck is in the Logan Library

In the back corner of the first floor is the large

conference room and the size of the windows in

that room is just right Goldilocks herself would

approve of the middle ground these openings

strike

The first accolade for these windows is the appropri-

ate level of exposure I have heard the complaints that

those windows are more like archerrsquos slits in a castle wall

but I think this is too hasty of an assessment They do not

let in a lot of sunlight but that also means they keep in a

lot of focus on the meeting topics on hand Besides who

doesnrsquot want to feel like he is sitting inside the walls of a

castle

It is a lot easier to keep the mind from wandering

without the imagery of classmates frolicking in the Quad

during the spurts of nicer weather It is also a lot easier to

keep from feeling dreary during the spurts of gray weath-

er that come back to haunt us during the fickle springtime

in Indiana There is just enough isolation offered to allow

a view of the outdoors when sought and to prevent acci-

dentally daydreaming otherwise

An added benefit that comes from the narrow size of

these windows is the privacy Sometimes I just do not

want to look up and see someone staring into my class-

room at what is being done or by whom on his way past

In this meeting room I do

not have to worry about

that Those windows are so

narrow that only a truly

dedicated observer who is

willing to hoist himself

right up to the slit and peer

into it would be able to

watch me and my team-

mates at work I like to

think someone else on

campus would knock him

right off his step stool or

ladder and tell him to stop

being such a creepy person

Finally it provides me

with the opportunity to

observe passersby unno-

ticed Sure I do not want

anyone else peering into

the windows at me but I

do not see the harm in peo-

ple watching if no one is

upset by noticing From the

end of the table farthest from that delightfully propor-

tioned slit in the wall it is possible to cast an eye out onto

the sidewalk I can take note of what the latest clothing

styles are how much the wind is going to later perturb my

hairstyle and which individuals have the bad habit of

spitting onto the sidewalks The best part is that no one

else in the meeting will suspect my wandering attention

since it does not often occur to them that anything inter-

esting could be observed through such a small opening in

the wall

With all of these benefits to the ldquoarcherrsquos slitsrdquo

I can only conclude that they are the best of all

windows on our campus Not too big Not too non-

existent Just right rdquo

The first accolade for these windows is the appropri-

ate level of exposure I have heard the complaints that

those windows are more like archerrsquos slits in a castle wall

but I think this is too hasty of an assessment They do not

let in a lot of sunlight but that also means they keep in a

lot of focus on the meeting topics on hand Besides who

doesnrsquot want to feel like he is sitting inside the walls of a

castle

It is a lot easier to keep the mind from wandering

without the imagery of classmates frolicking in the Quad

during the spurts of nicer weather It is also a lot easier to

keep from feeling dreary during the spurts of gray weath-

er that come back to haunt us during the fickle springtime

in Indiana There is just enough isolation offered to allow

a view of the outdoors when sought and to prevent acci-

dentally daydreaming otherwise

An added benefit that comes from the narrow size of

these windows is the privacy Sometimes I just do not

want to look up and see someone staring into my class-

room at what is being done or by whom on his way past

In this meeting room I do

not have to worry about

that Those windows are so

narrow that only a truly

dedicated observer who is

willing to hoist himself

right up to the slit and peer

into it would be able to

watch me and my team-

mates at work I like to

think someone else on

campus would knock him

right off his step stool or

ladder and tell him to stop

being such a creepy person

Finally it provides me

with the opportunity to

observe passersby unno-

ticed Sure I do not want

anyone else peering into

the windows at me but I

do not see the harm in peo-

ple watching if no one is

upset by noticing From the

end of the table farthest from that delightfully propor-

tioned slit in the wall it is possible to cast an eye out onto

the sidewalk I can take note of what the latest clothing

styles are how much the wind is going to later perturb my

hairstyle and which individuals have the bad habit of

spitting onto the sidewalks The best part is that no one

else in the meeting will suspect my wandering attention

since it does not often occur to them that anything inter-

esting could be observed through such a small opening in

the wall

With all of these benefits to the ldquoarcherrsquos slitsrdquo

I can only conclude that they are the best of all

windows on our campus Not too big Not too non-

existent Just right rdquo
