Arizona State University students affiliated with the university's Black Artists and Designers club as well as the National Council of Negro Women joined forces to clean up graffiti around downtown Phoenix. Individuals from the organizations served as leaders for the clean up group. The clean up was a small part of a much larger day of community service which included over 30 different volunteer sites called Devils In Disguise, an event that has been put on since 2001. The service event spanned all four campuses. Students traveled by bus to a location along Baseline Road, painted over the graffiti they found and provided services for members of the community by offering to paint fences, trees, and anything else. Nearly 40 students participated in the Phoenix graffiti clean up and Devils In Disguise drew almost 1,000 volunteers who showed up and worked from 9 am until 1pm on March 23, according to event coordinator Allison Oaks.

NCAA gymnastics uses the traditional 10-point scoring system. Olympic and collegiate scoring used to be the same until there were discrepancies at the 2004 Olympics in Athens. The main argument was that execution was being compromised for difficulty. Since then the two levels have been competing with slightly different rules. College athletes compete as a team and not just as individuals. If they meet the minimum requirements during their routine, scoring starts at 9.5. Five-tenths can be added to the score if they display originality, skills and connective value. There are also a number of little details that can deduct from the score if not perfectly executed. Scoring 196 points is a difficult feat to attain but one that the Sun Devils accomplished against Bridgeport for the first time since 2009.

We live in an age where the limits of technology are almost nonexistent. The combination of the constant progression of electronic devices and the expanding creativity of human minds has presented our generation with an endless amount of opportunity to innovate and form new ideas. The people of the Laptop Orchestra of Arizona State (LOrkAS) fit into the "innovative" category, without a doubt. Although LOrkAS isn't the first of its kind, it was until recently, the first student-only laptop orchestra. Without any classes offered and a lack of funding, LOrkAS members have been forced to think outside the box and push the boundaries of "what can be done" while using the laptop as an ensemble instrument. Here, they go in depth and talk about their performance at the Emerge Festival, as well as the importance of experimental music and sonic art performance.
