During the contest, Szink was one of the nine selected as a finalist. She received a makeover, spoke on radio stations multiple times, made an appearance on karaoke night at Club 55 in Troy, created video blogs, memorized and recited a 15-second script, which was then recorded and posted on the CW’s website for the public to vote on, and participated in a final interview with the top Dayton CW staff.
The contest was searching for someone with charisma, style and an infectious personality, to become the face of Dayton’s CW and to represent the station on-air, online and in the community, according to Shasta Scarberry, WBDT-TV brand manager in a news release announcing the Dayton’s CW Star contest in January.

The lack of a centralized place to donate has been a hindrance in the past, Shanahan said. According to Hopkins, many of Loiselle’s friends and family, including his brother, will be attending the 5K. She said the event will be a great way to memorialize Loiselle, and students who participate will be supporting a worthy cause.
“People at UD are looking for ways to give back, and this is one of our own,” Hopkins said. “It was someone who was part of the student life here, a part of the UD family and part of the GEL family. It’s a great cause. ... Anyone who hears the story just wants to be a part of it.”

On Sat- urday, students, staff, and members of the greater Dayton community celebrat- ed the planet with the very first Earth Fest at Old River Campus. This collaborative effort of Campus Recreation, Sustainability Club, Out- door Adventure Club and River Stew- ards resulted in a well-attended event. Despite the thermostat averaging 49 degrees, approximately three hundred attendees roamed Old River Park over a four hour time frame. Earth Fest began to take form in Jan- uary with a 10 member student com- mittee, headed by junior environmental biology major and sustainability minor, Meg Maloney. Throughout the spring semester, they have met every Sunday to develop Earth Fest.

We’ve chosen stories from the past five decades that we’ve only heard about through gen- erations and put them together to give you a closer look at UD’s history. The first issue of Flyer News was published in 1959; however, that was the fifth volume. The UD student-run newspaper was originally named the Dayton Flyer and published its first volume in 1955. For an unknown reason, Flyer News printed two volumes in the 1984-85 school year, which makes the current volume 57. So, although we’re in our 57th volume, we’re celebrating 50 years as Flyer News. Dr. Larry Lain, Flyer News advisor since 1987, has seen how much UD has changed over the years, but also how it has stayed the same. Different events and moments in history have hap- pened, but UD has kept the same values and unique traditions since 1955. More than any other organization on campus, Lain has seen the changes directly within Flyer News and how it has improved over the past few decades. “There’s been a growing sense of professionalism,” Lain said. “That feeling has always been there for the top two or three people on the staff, but as time goes on, it’s a feeling that goes much deeper down into the staff.” Please enjoy taking a look into the past 50 years of UD in print and on our Web site, www.fly- ernews.com.
