According to Dooley, of the six marked vehicles in the fleet, five were due for replacement. The supervisor’s car was the first one to be updated visually and equipment wise, introducing Southern’s color blue onto the vehicle, the Southern mascot owl, and a flag on the back of the car according to Dooley. “Our graphics are a modification of what we had before with the white cars,” said Dooley. “The color is kind of more of a grayscale.” Dooley said he is happy with the new logo design. “Between the computer system, the lights, the siren, the radio systems, there’s a lot that goes into building the car once we receive it,” said Dooley. The officers have a mobile office in their cars with all the equipment in it, with a laptop and printer.

By Jeff Lamson Arts & Entertainment Editor

Inspired by her grandfather and exploring identity through conscious messages, Han Liu is making her way to be a graphic designer with positive and practical applications. The junior, studio art major with a concentration in graphic design, said that her grandfather had a big influence on her and was her first inspiration. He was always drawing and sketching she said. “Whenever we’d go out to a restaurant he’d just look at a random person and just draw them,” Liu said. “And I always thought that was fascinating how he could just take a person and just put them right there on a napkin in front of me.” He would draw on a pizza box, adding values and dimension to the lettering and “Beetle Dot Art,” ink on paper, Feb. 15, 2018.

Being the only public university in the 15 team NE10 Conference, Southern athletics has had an impressive recent string of success in multiple sports. In the NFL, the Owls currently have two active coaches who are Southern alumni, Jeff Stoutland of the Eagles and Tim Holt of the Raiders. Joe Andruzzi, a three-time Super Bowl champion, and Jerome Cunningham, who is currently on the Titans practice squad, also played for the Owls.. This year head coach Scott Burrell has retooled his basketball roster with two Division I transfers, C.J. Seaforth from Iona and Kealen Ives from Rider. Burrell starred in baseball and basketball at Hamden High School before averaging 13.1 points per game in four years at UConn. Being such a big name makes it enticing to play for a coach with that kind of experience. The Owls have made the NCAA Tournament in four of the past five seasons, and PHOTO | NCCGA have an exhibition game scheduled with The golf team after winning the 2017 Metro Region championship.
