The Carroll News recently got to chat with Thomas Fox about the company, called Bad Racket, and its recent one-year anniversary party. –Interview by Ben DeVictor

The Carroll News: What made you want to start a record company?

Thomas Fox: Adam [Wagner] and I were friends at John Carroll. We met living in the dorms in Hamlin Hall and just had similar taste in music. We played some tunes together at JCU open mic nights. Adam, even at that time, was really into recording and had years under his belt tinkering with home record- ing software. I had some previous experience recording at that time too, having spent time working on my own music and I took some audio engineering classes at Lakeland Community College prior to coming to JCU. Outside of music, we studied marketing [in the Boler School of Business] together, which is a huge part of how we decided to start a business together years later. We met James Kananen in 2010, he was running the sound at the Grog Shop in Cleveland Heights, and had done a ton of live recording for bands from all over the country. At that time Adam had become very serious about audio pro- duction and collaboration with James only seemed to make things move faster. We got some warehouse space on the west side, started recording and named the space Bad Racket in early 2010. When we recorded the first Live From Bad Racket music video that fall, we realized we were onto something good and filed paperwork to form the partnership.

Have a pick-up line you’d like to share with us? E-mail it to [email protected]. SNOW CLOSING INFORMATION Winter 2011-2012

The Department of Integrated Marketing and Communications will notify the media if the University decides to close during unfavorable weather conditions. The University’s policy is to close only in the event of extreme weather conditions; decisions are made based on short and long-term meteorological reports.

While our goal is to have as many people as possible on campus when we are open, the University realizes that some students and employees live a significant distance from campus. Consequently, the administration does not expect individuals to place themselves in a dangerous situation to get here. We encourage you to use your best judgment in deciding whether it is safe to drive when confronted with severe weather.

Snow closing advisories: Integrated Marketing and Communications personnel will provide an advisory to the university community through the closing advisory phone line. If the University is closing, the system’s message will be changed to give the details of the closing.

• For the LATEST CLOSING INFORMATION, call 216-397-4666. Please wait until AFTER 6:30 a.m. to begin calling, so that University personnel have an opportunity to make a decision and change the message. • For decisions on EVENING CLASSES, call AFTER 2 p.m.

Integrated Marketing and Communications uses a coded system to alert the media of a closing; this system is designed to prevent unauthorized personnel from calling the media. Closings will also be posted on the University’s home page at www.jcu.edu by 6:30 a.m.

Delayed opening: In the event inclement weather poses – for a limited period of time – an extraordinary risk to the safety of students and employees who drive to the University, the University will announce a “DELAYED OPENING”: • This delay will be for two or three hours, using 8 a.m. as the regular opening time. -An announced 2-hour delay = 10 a.m. opening. -An announced 3-hour delay = 11 a.m. opening

Employees whose functions are required earlier than the normal office opening time should consult their area vice president for instructions.

• Classes scheduled during the hours affected by the delay will be cancelled. As with classes cancelled when the University is forced to close early because of weather, faculty whose classes are cancelled as a result of a delayed opening may, at their discretion, attempt to schedule a make-up class. These make-up classes can only be scheduled if they do not penalize students who are unable to attend.

The puzzle consists of a grid of dots, with some clue cells containing numbers. You con- nect horizontally or vertically adjacent dots to form a meandering path that forms a single loop or “Slitherlink.” The loop must not have any branches and must not cross itself. The clue numbers indicate how many lines surround the cell. Empty cells may be surrounded by any number of lines (from 0 to 3). There is one unique solution, and you should be able to find it without guessing. You may find it helpful to make Xs between dots that cannot be connected.

This law was implemented because residents of Carroll Boulevard did not want students driving down the street. This law, though it has been in effect for approximately two decades should not be as significant of a concern as it has been. Residents of Carroll Boulevard live alongside a university, so through traffic from the JCU community should be expected. It reflects poorly on the University when someone that is com- ing here for the purpose of putting on a program or bringing pro- spective students to take a tour of the campus is hit with a $200 ticket for trying to maneuver the best way to enter campus. University Heights police should be less concerned with through traffic on the JCU side street, and more concerned with a larger safety issue: since this law has been imposed, instead of turning right down Carroll Boulevard, members of the JCU com-
