PAGE 2 HODGEPODGE WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 2010 PHOTO OF THE WEEK ERIK TANNER | SPINNAKER ERIK TANNER It has been said that the stars are an antidote for loneliness and depending on your philosophical point of view, this could be true. This photo is a three-hour exposure taken in the southern desert of New Mexico. The ellipses in the outer edge of the composition are formed by the stars leaving trails as the world turns around the central axis, which is always the north star as seen in the center of the frame. Last week by the numbers Q of the W: Best memory of the song “Sex and Candy” by Marcy Playground?

BEAT of the Week 1 5 Jan. 24 – Simple Battery (Building 43) — UPD reported an altercation between five people in the University Center Jan. 24. At approximately 11:47 p.m., police arrived at the emergency room in reference to the alleged battery. The five victims claimed an unidentified security guard injured them while attending a party at the University Center. One of the victims claimed that during the party a fight broke 3 out between several females, and she attempted to leave. While moving toward the exit, the party’s hired security guard attempted to disperse the altercation by swinging a baton, which hit the victim on the head twice. The victim received stitches on her forehead as a result of the incident. The second victim claimed the security guard grabbed her and struck her on the left knee with the baton and threw her on the floor. As a result, she sustained a swollen left knee and welts on her left leg. The third victim stated that the security guard struck her with the baton on her right foot, which caused a laceration and a bruise to her head. The fourth victim claimed the security guard struck her repeatedly with the baton, which injured her left hand, left thigh, stomach and head. The identity of the hired security guard is unknown. UPD believes because the room was completely dark, there is no way to distinguish who was involved in the altercation and the alleged battery. 5 Compiled by Jessica-Lynne Dubois-Maahs.
