spending. This resulted in sequestration, the automatic cutting of the budgets of governmental organizations such as the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institute of Health, both of which lost 5% of their funding. Only the Department of Energy (DOE) did not suer as a result of the sequestration. The budget cuts mean less grant money, which aects schools like Mines, whose students often depend on grants from the NSF, the US Geological Survey (USGS), and other governmental groups to fund their research. Arguments that the one-time infusion of cash in the 2009 stimulus package oset the damage are faulty; a slow, steady increase in Continued at Science and Policy on Page 3

Leipzig, Germany - A study coming from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences shows that, similar to adults, infants show a very specic touch receptor is activated in response to stroking at a specic velocity known as pleasant touch. In infants, pleasant touch corresponds to increased engagement with the device used to create the stroking velocity, in this experiment a paintbrush, as well as a decreased heartbeat. Researchers are linking this to a vital role that touch plays in early childhood development. Halifax, Nova Scotia - Biologist Shelley Adamo of Dalhousie University has discovered a form of sexually transmitted cricket disease that both renders its host infertile but also acts as an aphrodisiac to encourage host transfer. The virus was discovered after some of the crickets under study had stopped producing eggs and were found to have swollen, blue, fat bodies that had hexagonal viral particles inside. In addition to acting as an aphrodisiac, the virus also turns o signaling that makes sick crickets appear to be less attractive mating partners; normally due to the changes, diseased crickets are seen to be less attractive.
La Serena, Chile - Researchers at the Las Campanas Observatory outside of La Serena, Chile, have observed six luminous blue stars in the leading section of the Magellanic Stream. The stars are believed to be new, coming from the gas of the Magellanic Clouds, as they are too new to have come from any other place in space. The Magellanic Clouds are two nearby galaxies that unlike other nearby systems in that they are full with gas capable of forming stars.
Rome, Italy - Researchers at the University of Rome led by Dr. Luciano Less have conrmed that the ice covered water ocean of Enceladus is liquid underneath ice rather than wholly ice. The water is kept liquid because of the generation of waves which, in turn, creates internal friction and thus heat. Enceladus is also notable because this ocean is in contact with the moons rocky core, which means that elements useful to life such as phosphorus, sulfur, and potassium are able to leech into the ocean.

Mines students are invited to an open house concerning the intersection of highway 6 and 19th Street. CSM has pledged $1 million to the $25 million project due to how much this project aects student life. A community meeting will be held Monday, April 14 from 6:00-8:00 pm at the Fossil Trace Clubhouse. Students are encouraged to attend. The Blue Key Honor Society, in collaboration with the Golden Chamber of Commerce, is hosting a school supply donation drive. The purpose of the drive, which will be held from April 7th to May 9th, is to collect school supplies for economically disadvantaged children in Commerce City. Donation boxes can be found at the Golden Chamber of Commerce and on the rst oor of the Student Center outside of the Student Activities oce. Donation items may include notebooks, writing utensils, gently used backpacks, calculators, et cetera. All donations will be greatly appreciated. Senator Scott Gefroe introduced a bill in the State Senate to ban red light cameras and photo radar vans within the state of Colorado. While Gefroe previously introduced the bill in 2012, his recent attempts have garnered more attention. He has backing from several prominent lawmakers including Senate President Morgan Carole and House Speaker Mark Ferrandino. The Colorado Rockies will now take the eld to a new theme song. Emmy Award-winning composer Charles Denler developed the new song Take the Field. The piece will be played in full at the beginning of every Rockies game and smaller portions of the song will be played during commercials. 80 members of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra recorded the piece in February.

Where do you see Belong going? I see Belong going pretty big; were hoping to grow it to a goodsized company, probably a midsized company from a hundred to ve hundred people working for us. Eventually, sponsoring athletes,
sending to the X-Games, sending to the Olympics...you know, really helping develop athletes and making sure theyre going down the right path in life, and thats what Belong is about. We kind of want to keep it a clean brand in really following your true passions, with a lot of positivity coming out of the brand. Whats your favorite E-Days memory? Oh man, favorite E-Days memory...theres too many. I would say it would be coming to see Air Dubai and we actually afterwards knew a guy from the band and were hanging out with the guys. It was cool to see that.
with the towns docks by a massive mudslide triggered by the quake. When it was over, the neighborhood of Turnagain had been swallowed by a 130-acre landslide, and the waterfronts of Valdez and Seward had collapsed into the sea. Around 130 to 140 people died as a result of the quake, but only about ten of those were killed thanks to the immediate damage of the earthquake itself; the vast majority died due to the tsunami waves produced by the quake and the resultant subsea landslides These casualties included beachwalkers in California and Oregon as well as over a hundred Alaskans..

of cool. And then today I was like, yes, Im going to wear this. Just because its a beer hat. I mean, why not? Honestly, I like to stick out. So I was like, f- it, Im going to wear the hat. As the walk neared the end, excitement grew. With the capitol in sight, students took off running, sprinting the final stretch of the eight-mile walk. Those pulling the ore cart sprinted to keep up. When they arrived and the ore cart was settled on the steps of the capitol, the entire body of students erupted into the fight song. Following the fight song, a proc-
lamation from Governor Hickenlooper was read, officially declaring the start of Engineering Days. Alvarado says the Ore-Cart Pull was the best experience of his life and encourages all future Mines students to take part. Even without the alcohol, I have to say its an experience that you have to do before you graduate... Literally this is so much fun. Anyone who graduates from Mines has pulled an ore- cart seven miles to the capitol. Whats not awesome about that? Theres no other school that does anything like that.

Geek Week
of the
pactsthats the best part. Also, helping them get a green box and clearing the frustration. Being the savior who got the green box is pretty awesome. Whats been your favorite class thus far at Mines? Probably Intro to Space Exploration. It made me want to go out and be a rocket scientist! What are your plans after Mines? Im going to stick around for a fifth year and get my masters in Mechanical Engineering. Then Ill hopefully get a job in the Aerospace industry. I want to be a rocket scientistit would be pretty sick. I like the idea of being a rocket scientist and a mom at the same time. I have a role model Penny (Pettigrew) who is a rocket scientist (at NASA) and a mom. She shows that you can do both because a lot of people say you have to pick one. Best memory at Mines so far? I got recruited to race with the planetary EPICS moon buggy team because NASA required a girl to race the buggy. The girl who was on the team couldnt go on the trip, so I got randomly recruited in Diff EQ by the guy who sat in front of me to go with them. It was the best experience of my life. That whole experience is what made me want to do Mechanical Engineering. He just said, Are there any girls in here who want a full paid trip to Alabama? I was like, ME! My mom said she didnt know how she felt about it, but I was sold at NASA. Do you have any traumatic memories from Mines? When I was in CSM 101, I had to meet with Chuck Stone for the meet with your advisor assignment. I told him I was interested in physics and ended up getting an entire tour of Meyer Hall for an hour and a half with Chucks voodoo doll. I was like held hostage for an hour and a half seeing every inch of Meyer Hall. I saw the particle accelerator, which was pretty cool, not gonna lie. I had to take pictures of me and the voodoo doll and the particle accelerator. That wasnt so much a traumatic experience as an interesting one. Getting a private tour of Meyer Hall with Chuck Stone and his voodoo doll. What might we find you doing on a Friday night? It depends on which season it is. If it is the springtime you will find me in Lockridge Arena cheering at basketball games. Or you will find me playing Cards Against Science with my physics major friends. Or in Meyer Hall 247 doing homework. Thats super lame though. My weekends consist of cheering, nerdy board games and homework. Would you consider yourself a geek? I can watch The Big Bang Theory and understand everything theyre talking about. So if that counts then yes, (I am) totally a geek. I also get more enjoyment out of playing Cards Against Science than I do playing Cards Against Humanity. And my idea of fun is going to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. What do you do for fun outside of the classroom? Go to Caf Rio. Its my favorite restaurant. Ive made so many great friends going to Caf Rio. So, if you had to choose a last dinner It would be at Caf Rio. Favorite movie? Frozen! Just kidding. Actually, its not my favorite movie. I really am a sucker for Cars, or The Parent Trap. I always wanted a sister. I used to watch that movie and pretend like I had a secret sister. Favorite quote? My favorite quote is definitely: Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. (Ralph Waldo Emerson) Favorite fictional character? Olaf from Frozen. Hes just so fricken cute and quotable. I have this relationship with Olaf. Olaf just wants to be in summerhe dreams of summereven though snow cant exist in summer. Even though snow melts in summer, Olaf still wants to be in summer. Hes like, yeah Im snow, whats your point? And here (at Mines) Im one of six girls out of 70 physics majors (in my class). Its like, Im a girl, so what. I feel like Olaf breaks a stereotype about snow and summer. I relate to Olaf. Theres a deeper meaning behind Olaf, or I at least created one in my mind. Favorite equation? Im kind of a fan of the Schroedinger equation. Its really fun to write. Theres just so many Greek letters. Psi, its mainly psi. Thats the fun one, and Im real good at drawing it. Plus, I feel super smart when Im like, check out this equation I know. People think Im wicked smart because I can write the Schroedinger equation. Favorite April Fools prank?

will encounter copious amounts of electrons and electron neutrinos, but, eventually, they will find their way to the Z and W Bosons and from there to the final Higgs Boson. This game has a basis in real physics so some players will try and justify their playing by claiming that it is helping them study physics. This is most definitely not the case, but, none the less, there is some educational value to it, just nowhere near enough to justify playing it for as long as most players do. This game is ridiculously addicting and after playing it just once, anyone who goes down that dangerous path will be forced to keep going. While there seems like there is no end in sight for the game, there is an unavoidable urge to beat the game. This even includes people who usually have no difficulty at all avoiding addictive games. Anyone who fears becoming far too addicted to a simple collisions game, avoid this game at all costs. But for someone who wishes to waste a weekend or a month of their life, then this is the game for them. Beware, this game can be played on a computer or on a phone, so once the addiction begins, there is no way to escape it.

The Iota Zeta Chapter of Alpha Phi at the Colorado School of Mines hosted Alpha-Traz, the annual Alpha Phi International Philanthropy event which raises money for the Alpha Phi Foundation, champion of womens heart health. The event was moved from its original location on Kafadar Commons to the Alpha Phi House due to the rainy weather forecast. Nevertheless, the event was an astronomical success. Over seven thousand dollars were raised which exceeded the goal of five thousand dollars. Money is raised by students, faculty, and other community members donating money to bail their friends out of jail. Members of Greek life, athletics, and campus organizations were placed under cardiac arrest and could not leave the Alpha Phi jail until their bail was met. Participants were able to set their bail accordingly to how much money they felt they could raise. Very proudly, Natalie Boldt, the Chapter President of Alpha Phi, was able to raise over eight hundred dollars alone. The women of Alpha Phi introduced a new dimension to the bailing out process this year with the concept of counterbail. This means that donations were taken, not in order to bail
SOUND REMEDY lit up the stage on Friday night, delivering a stellar performance of his signature electronic musical talents. SOUND REMEDY perfectly intermixes his own original songs, such as Liberation and Chiaroscuro with remixes of songs created by other artists. SOUND REMEDY has enchanting remixes to some of the most current popular songs. To name a few favorites, SOUND REMEDY lends his creative influence to Ellie Gouldings cover of an Active Child song, Hanging On. While this is a lesser know Ellie Goulding song, it is definitely gaining popularity despite its release in 2012. Other popular remixes come from Imogen Heap, Lana del Rey, London Grammar, and John Newman. Daughters song Medicine is a beautifully crafted remix, which is challenging to do with slower, more emotional-lyrically based music that generally stays on the chill side of the alternative genre. However, this song meshes cohesively with stronger electronic beats native to the electronic genre. SOUND REMEDY captures attention with his remix of this song, considering most electronic artists only do remixes of hip hop, or other higher tempo songs. SOUND REMEDY has the unique quality of
making well-known songs in the alternative genre seem as if they were fabricated not only in the electronic genre, but in his very own SOUND REMEDY genre. In an 2012 interview, SOUND REMEDY said, I want to make music that makes people happy, or even sad, as long as it makes them feel something. A criticism of some electronic music, and especially dubstep songs, is that they can be so charged with energy, that the original artist intent of chord progression and intertwined melodic symphonies can be lost in translation. SOUND REMEDY captures the emotion from the original songs and enhances it - even going so far as to illuminate the passion hidden within. SOUND REMEDY has a strong stage presence; even behind his computer, he is able to connect with the audience and instill his passion for his music through each and every song. It is apparent that he really feels his music, not just at a surface level, but at a deeper, emotional level. His music is appealing, fanatical, wild, and ravishing.
SOUND REMEDY is originally from the midwest, even attending Indiana University for a finance degree, but now he calls LA home. SOUND REMEDY started producing music full time just four years ago. He attributes his music upbringing from his parents who trained at Juilliard as a credit to his love of listening to, making, and living music. SOUND REMEDY was the perfect musical talent to bring the Colorado School of Mines GalaxeDays stage. He is on the cusp of superstardom and he is a talent to watch become a permanent fixture on the electronic scene. SOUND REMEDY produces delightfully captivating tracks, proving his radiant love for making and sharing his spirited fervor with his listeners.

Fees=More E-Days
As some readers no doubt know, USG voted unanimously to increase student fees to $100 during a joint operating meeting. The fee increase passed despite a unanimous no vote from the smaller GSG delegation. This extremely unusual split highlights how out of touch and self interested GSG has become. I am the President of the Mines Activities Council (MAC) and this semester, for the rst time, MAC has been added as a voting member of USG. In fact, every governing body on campus has been added as full members of the council. Additionally, budget committee, which used to control all fee allocation, has been disbanded so that the entire USG council has a voice in allocating student funds to student groups. MAC is the recipient of the largest allocation on campus (~$210,000 last year). The small council of 9 students is responsible for planning and executing entertainment programs for the entire student body including both undergraduate and graduate students indiscriminately. We are responsible for all of E-Days, Homecoming, movie nights, comedians, special events, and o-campus activities. All of those programs are limited by budget and we spend considerable time seeking outside nancial support (we have already taken in over $100,000 this year outside of our allocation). Unlike any other club on campus, we do not require membership for any one of our events and we program targeting every single student possible. When we have events that lack attendance, the majority of the time the cause can be attributed to lack of awareness on campus for the event. When students attend our events, they largely en-

Many of the buildings and new construction projects on campus are LEED (Leadership maximizing the amount of natural light to reduce energy use. The practices mentioned here could have a lasting positive eect on the environment; but many of these practices require that we, as individual consumers, do the right thing. For example, we should take responsibility when dining to make sure that we compost what we can, bring reusable containers, etc. Also, we can show MinesDining that we care about sustainability by participating in meatless Monday, and by suggesting that it happen more often. Further, as a community, we should pressure those making decisions to do even more to promote sustainability. As an engineering campus, we should be leading the way in renewable energy use and demand that new projects be built with sustainability as the most important goal. This goal is certainly achievable; just minutes away from Mines, the National Renewable Energy Lab is home to several LEED platinum buildings. Further, some of their buildings are net-zero energy, which means that they produce as much energy (through renewable sources) as they use! We should be proud that Mines understands our environmental obligations and is taking such big steps in promoting sustainability. Yet, we should strive for more! If you have sustainability suggestions for Mines, please feel free to contact me at bzaharatos@mines. edu. I will be sure that the Mines Sustainability Committee hears your suggestion.
There are good reasons to believe that humans have some ethical obligations with respect to the environment. This claim is true even if we believe that our only direct obligations are toward other human beings. For example, biodiversity plays an important role in the health of our food and water supply and in the development of modern medicine. So, doing right by the environment and promoting biodiversity, in addition to being good for nonhuman organisms, can be seen as a means to the end of meet our obligation to promote human ourishing. Other obligations that we might have toward the environment include reducing consumption of energy and the use of other products that use large amounts of natural resources, working toward minimizing the suering of animals, and reducing carbon dioxide emissions to curb COU RT the eects of climate change.

joy them, but we can always do better, we can always reach more, and this often requires additional funding. The $6 increase to student fees enacted by the joint meeting between USG and GSG will benet student groups on campus. The group poised to reap the largest benet will be MAC, and by denition, the students of Mines. Unfortunately, MAC was only present at the joint session for the nal vote as it was scheduled during our regular weekly meeting. If we had predicted the derision that occurred at the meeting, we certainly would have liked to have been present and voiced our opinion that this fee increase, if allocated as it has been in the past, will greatly benet the less involved. GSGs opinions that the raise was arbitrary and nondescript as to its destination are fair. $6 does not make up for the allocation requests not met last year and the new monies were not earmarked for certain clubs (as much as we want it to go to MAC). The increase, as MAC understands it, was lessened to ease the burden on individual students and not earmarked in order to be consistent with the USG allocation process. GSGs stark opposition to the fee increase is understood by my council; however, we feel that such a position is detrimental to the campus community and displays a singular mindset of the organization to oppose the out-ofthe-classroom activities at Mines. Hopefully their votes are not representative of the greater graduate student population at CSM who have often vocalized their support for E-Days, MAC and everything we do. Our unocial motto is making Mines bearable, for a 1-2 hours each week. We would like to add another hour, but that costs money and we are extremely grateful to the USG council for supporting our eorts.
coils. The rst was the smaller of the two. It did not make large arcs of electricity, as most people picture with Tesla Coils; instead, it produced a small, about 2 inch long, arc that glowed brightly. However, along with this small arc of lightning was the truly impressive part. The Tesla coil was able to perfectly play music from an ipod, functioning just like speakers do. The crowd got to listen to several songs played by the Tesla coil, each more impressive than the last. The second Tesla coil was much larger and looked more like a typical Tesla coil. This one did shoot of large arcing beams of electricity that seemed to form trees and webs of lightning all around the Tesla coil. This Tesla coil also played music, but it wasnt nearly as clear and could only play a few notes. However, despite that, the Tesla coils music was incredible and some of it even sent physical shudders down spines in the audience. Whether the shudders were from the music or from the electricity humming around the room, there is no way to tell, but either way, it was a truly awe inspiring experience that everyone could enjoy. Look out next E-Days for the Tesla Coil Demonstration because it isnt something to be missed.
