Some people say social media will be
the death of us.
Two new platforms suggest that death
isnt a problem you can keep up the
tweeting after youre long gone.
DeadSocial is a platform that allows us
to live forever on the social web, James
Norris, London-based creator of DeadSo-
cial, said. Users create a series of mes-
sages in accordance with their social
media that are only distributed to their
private social media accounts on specic
dates postdeath.
Users set up an account while still alive
and tell it what to say on particular dates.
Once the person is deceased, social media
displays the messages created when they
previously scheduled it.
A second and separate site sends tweets
after you die based on your previous
tweeting patterns and interests.
Dave Bedwood is another U.K.-based
developer of a similar platform. LIVE-
SON.org is a site based on an algorithm,
that sends out messages that imitate the
way you talk as well as typical interests
you would have. The site brings about as
much mystery as its tagline: When your
heart stops beating, youll keep tweeting.
When users sign up, they choose an
executor, or person responsible for acti-
vating the account when deceased.
It feels evolutionary in a way, inevi-
table that man will use technology to
somehow live on, Bedwood said. Popu-
lar culture has gone on about it for years
from Lawnmower Man to the Matrix.
Religions have sold us after life, good or
bad, for eons.
Bedwood and Norris are strong believ-
ers of constant change in technology and
popular culture. Pushing the limits is
crucial to positive technological change.
Norris said the trend will catch on.
He has been working with end-of-life
doctors and charities in the U.K. to help
build a product of value. The controversy
has sparked a large amount of interest
already as this entirely new perspective
on social media arises.
Bedwood pointed out that some people
are worried about the ethical nature of
it all. People who have taken offense,
by and large, think we are just trying to
bring back the dead, which isnt the case,
he said.
Jessica Rush, a human development
major, doesnt think the trend will take
ight.
People have become so concerned
about what they say and do in the cyber
world that they want to continue being
socially connected after they die? Messed
up.
Maybe some people would agree with
Rush; however, the site developers think
shifting attitudes will pique interest in
the idea.
I think that it will be very successful
in time, especially as attitudes towards
death and our aging population change,
Norris said.

form, visit deadsoci.al or liveson.org.

Voto app lets friends help choose
B y K AY L E E D E W I T T
Choosing an outt to wear on a date
or a color to paint a bedroom can be
a tough decision
that requires alter-
nate opinions. Thats
why BYU graduates
and others in Utah
worked to develop the
Voto Application.
Voto is a polling
app created in Utah,
where users can post
a series of pictures
and their friends can
then vote on their
favorite. It simplies
asking the which
one question.
It looks like Instagram, but it has
a series of two, three or four photos
with a simple question of, Which do
you like? and double tapping the photo
of choice casts a vote. They are all ask-
ing questions with photos and voting,
Scott Paul, co-founder of Voto, said in
an email.
Paul said Voto has reached huge
levels of popularity.
The app was ofcially
launched on Jan.
23 but has been in
the Apple App Store
since December and
will be available for
Android this year. It
currently has about
100,000 users, was
ranked 18 out of all
social network apps
in the app store, and
has beat out apps
such as Draw Some-
thing and Angry Birds Space.
Its really taking off, Nykelle
Schlofman, co-founder of Voto, said.
I think people really like the concept.
Its quick and easy for people looking
to get feedback from their friends. Part
of it is that our marketing strategy has
been working so well. We appeal to
early adopters and attracting people
who like innovation. It also provides
an entertainment that people love.
Voto was developed and designed in
part by BYU graduates and is believed
to be the rst social network to come
out of Utah.
We are trying to grow a social net-
work out of the state of Utah, Schlof-
man said. We are going up against big
competitors and are looking for sup-
port. We are trying to keep it in Utah.
Voto allows users to separate their
polls into categories such as art &
design, fashion & beauty and food
& drink.
People use the app to ask
questions about cars, food,
See VOTO on Page 3
We want to build a
social network that
appeals to everyone,
not just fashionistas.

BYU parking
A hot topic for
decades
B y E R Y N N K E R R I G A N
Plans to close Campus Drive as part
of an initiative to make BYU more
pedestrian-oriented ironically became
public during a major winter storm that
left sidewalks icy and the whole of cam-
pus anything but pedestrian friendly.
But the almost instant reaction to
news of the 2013 Campus Unication
Plan was not as much about pedestri-
ans and the weather as it was about how
the Campus Unication Project would
affect on-campus parking.

Zenrow.com makes handling

A roommate who is unwilling to contribute to
household chores, activities, rent or utilities can
make college living even more complicated. This

paying bills between roommates.
One of the websites creators, Matt Holt, gradu-
ated from San Diego State University and now

Cities split over countywide library system
B y L A U R E N M Y R I C K
An American Fork city coun-
cilwoman is pushing hard for a
countywide library system, but
Orem and Provo libraries dont
want in.
Heidi Rodeback, American
Fork City councilwoman, said
American Fork has shown not
only that the countywide systems
works well, but that it is desper-
ately needed. Smaller libraries
across Utah County dont have
the resources or supplies other
libraries have, and this system
would help that need.
I will reiterate my personal
position that a countywide
library system is long overdue.
Most of our communities are too
small to fund and operate librar-
ies on their own, Rodeback said.
Yet the children of Cedar Hills
are no different from the children
of American Fork in their need
for library services. Moreover,
our economic development is hin-
dered because major employers
will not move their employees to
a county that cannot offer them a
library system.
The idea of a countywide
system is an age-old discussion in
Utah County that surfaces every
three to four years. No signicant
headway has been made on the
matter because the same issues
arise every time it is brought up.
However, Rodeback recently went
before the Utah County Commis-
sioners to petition for a county-
wide system, even if Provo and
Orem libraries are excluded.
Gene Nelson, director of the
Provo Library for 16 years, grew
up with a countywide system.
While he thinks the idea is won-
derful, he knows it is a difcult
situation.
If those cities want to create
a countywide system without us,
I think that is great for them,
he said. It really comes down to
equity and fairness. It is not fair
to the Provo or Orem resident to
join the system because there is
no value to them. Im not sure
that the other cities would be
willing or able to invest the same
amount of money we have into
our libraries.
Provo and Orem have spent
years developing their libraries
and have spent more time, money
and training than have the other
seven libraries in cities of Utah
County, according to Nelson.
I have yet to have a Provo
resident come to me and want
a countywide system to be able
to access smaller outlying city
libraries, Nelson said. Thats
just not the case.
Smaller libraries, including
American Fork, Eagle Moun-
tain, Lehi and Pleasant Grove,
participate in the North Utah
County Library Cooperative.
This allows residents of these
cities to use their library card to
check out materials from any of
the participating libraries.
Michele Graves, a city librar-
ian for Eagle Mountain, would
love to see Utah County follow
the example of Salt Lake Countys
countywide system.
I believe that all libraries
would benet from a countywide
system, Graves said, empha-
sizing all. Coming from Los
Angeles County myself, it made
it much easier to nd items I
needed. I think it would help
smaller libraries focus their col-
lections to better t their com-
munities, and patrons would
have access to a much larger
selection.
Salt Lake Countys system
began 90 years ago, making it dif-
cult to compare its system with
Utah Countys.

Utah anti-drug representative
nationally recognized
B y S A M A N T H A G I L B E R T
Utah County employee Kye
Nordfelt, who is a leader in the
countys anti-drug ght, was
nationally recognized as the
2013 Advocate of the Year by the
Community Anti-Drug Coali-
tions of America.
Nordfelt is the Substance
Misuse and Abuse Reduction
Team coordinator for the Utah
County Department of Drug
and Alcohol Prevention and
Treatment.
He is the one that keeps
our diverse group together and
focused on a specic target
the prevention and reduction
of substance misuse in Utah
County, said Jo Ann Petrie,
who chairs Nordfelts team.
We are very appreciative of his
efforts and feel he is extremely
deserving of this award.
The Community Anti-Drug
Coalitions of America is a
national anti-drug effort based
in Virginia. The award is given
to a major advocate who repre-
sents strong leadership in the
anti-drug community, as well
as a person who maintains
exceptional relationships with
leaders based out of Washing-
ton D.C.
Nordfelt came into the posi-
tion in 2008, when the county
was awarded a Strategic Pre-
vention Framework grant and
needed someone to head up the
coalition. Nordfelt was a strong
candidate for the position and
has continued growth and suc-
cess for the coalition.
Kye is exceptional at moti-
vating a vast group toward a
specic goal, said Pat Bird, pre-
vention manager for the coun-
tys anti-drug department. He
received that award for being an
advocate.
Nordfelt was recognized on
Capitol Hill among more than
5,000 community anti-drug
coalition representatives from
across the country. He accepted
the award during the coalitions
23rd annual National Leader-
ship Forum.
Gen. Arthur Dean, CADCA
chairman and CEO, spoke
highly of Nordfelt.
When it comes to policy
matters, Kye is one of CADCAs
most active and strongest allies
and is always willing to go the
extra mile to help advocate for
the coalition eld, he said. He
has helped to secure funding for
critically important prevention
programs, specically the Drug
Free Communities Program, by
mobilizing people within his
community and communicat-
ing with his members of Con-
gress and senators in a timely
manner.

Brothers swimming side by side
B y L O R I E H O F F M A N
Preston Jenkins is a freshman
swimmer at BYU. Kaleb Jenkins
is a senior swimmer at the United
States Air Force Academy. Both
boys recall growing up swimming
together, but so many times their
paths never crossed.
The Jenkins brothers swim
very different events, and are
four years apart. Kaleb Jenkins
is more of a sprinter, and Preston
Jenkins is more of a long-distance
swimmer; however, the boys have
competed in one event together
the 200-meter IM. Throughout
their early swim years, Kaleb Jen-
kins quickly advanced to higher
age groups and competition levels
before Preston Jenkins was old
enough for them to swim together.
When Preston Jenkins turned
15, Kaleb Jenkins had not left
home for the Air Force Academy
yet, and the boys swam together
a few times in the 200 IM, when-
ever the meet would line them up
together. Then Kaleb Jenkins left
for the Air Force Academy and
to swim for the Falcons, leaving
Preston Jenkins to hold down the
fort at home.
Kaleb Jenkins swam three
years for AFA, while Preston Jen-
kins stepped up his game at home.
Fall 2012 brought Preston Jenkins
to BYU, where he swims the 100-
meter backstroke, 200-meter back-
stroke and 200-meter IM. Kaleb
Jenkins was in his senior year
swimming the 100-meter y, 200-
meter breast and 200-meter IM.
At the MPSF Championship
meet, both Preston and Kaleb
Jenkins swam the 200-meter IM.
Both were put into the same heat,
and the brothers were put into
the lanes next to each other. Both
qualied for nals, and when
nals came, both were put in
lanes right next to each other.
The only time we got to race
each other was at conference; we
swam right next to each other,
Preston Jenkins said. It was
interesting because he always
gets out a little bit in front after
buttery, because thats his best
stroke. Then I passed him on
back, and then he passed me on
breast, and then I passed him on
freestyle. My brother is a sprinter
so the last stretch is the hardest
for him, and its the best for me. I
think our parents really liked it;
we will never get to do it again.
The best part? The only time
they will swim together in their
college careers, both swimmers
obtained new personal records.
Thats the best swimming
experience I have with my
brother, swimming at confer-
ence, Preston Jenkins said.
Many Jenkins family members
were in attendance for the races.
Our parents and grandpar-
ents were there, and it was great
to see everyone and swim with my
brother, Kaleb Jenkins said. It
was a good way to nish my swim-
ming career.

NIT first-round: BYU
hosts Washington
B y S U G E N E L E E
The BYU mens basketball
team will continue its postsea-
son play in the National Invi-
tation Tournament at home
against the Washington Hus-
kies on Tuesday night.
BYU (2111) received the No.
3 seed in the Southern Miss
Bracket while Washington
(1815) received the No. 6 seed.
Were very excited to be
playing in the NIT, BYU
coach Dave Rose said. Its a
great opportunity for our team
to keep playing and nish the
season strong. This will be so
good for our younger players to
gain postseason tournament
experience but Im especially
excited that our seniors get to
play another game in the Mar-
riott Center.
The Cougars will make their
rst appearance in the NIT
since 2006. They have a 128
record in their 10 appearances
and have won the champion-
ship title in 1951 and 1966.
The winner of Tuesdays
game will go on to face the win-
ner of No. 2 Tennessee and No.
7 Mercer.
BYU and Washington tip off
at the Marriott Center on Tues-
day at 7:30 p.m MST. The game
will be broadcast live on ESPN
and KSL radio.

P
ushing a girlfriend, guratively or literally, is
never encouraged.
UVU senior Creighton Baird learned this per-
sonally as evidenced in his YouTube posting gone
viral: Boyfriend pushes Girlfriend off cliff
Insane Rope Swing.
Baird and his friends are regular contributors
to the popular YouTube channel devinsupertramp,
run by BYU grad Devin Graham. During the lm-
ing of their most recent viral video, Worlds Most
Insane Rope Swing Ever!!! Canyon Cliff Jump
they captured the behind-the-scenes footage that
came to be Boyfriend pushes Girlfriend off cliff
Insane Rope Swing, which caused media and
viewers from across the nation to speculate.
The video shows Jessica Powell. Bairds girl-
friend of three-and-a-half years, harnessed to the
rope swing, trying to talk herself into this latest
adventure as several members of the group do con-
tinuous countdowns for her to jump.
Jessica has done every jump, climb, canyon and
stunt that I have done, Baird said. After three
days of growing anxious, it was her turn to jump.
For the rst time ever, she was truly terried. I
asked what I could do to help and she said, If I cant
jump, you might have to push me.
To get her to take the plunge, so to speak, Baird
did. While he originally walked over to comfort
and encourage her, he ended up pushing her off
the edge. As she swung down, she screamed, Im
breaking up with you! and the video ended. What
many dont know is the background to, and the
rest of, the story.
Almost an hour later we get what is now titled
Boyfriend pushes Girlfriend off cliff, Baird
said. We never imagined it would go as viral as
it did.
According to Baird, after Jessica Powell made
the 30-minute ascent back up a 400-foot vertical
static line, the rst thing she did was chug a liter
of water, eat an entire bag of gummy worms, then
give him a bear hug thanking him for push-
ing her off.
But that is not seen leading to viewers
assumptions about Baird. As a result, according
to some websites, Baird has taken Chris Browns
spot as Americas most hated boyfriend. Critics
of the video have also referenced the posting in
articles focused around abusive boyfriends and
even attempted manslaughter.
I understand that it was good drama and appar-
ently that is all America focuses on anymore, but
thats why we have The Hills and The Bachelor,
Baird said. The media has adulterated and trans-
formed this bonding experience into something
negative. It was never meant to be that way.
After all the hatred toward Baird, Powell gave
only one interview; she spoke to CNN in order to
clear her ex-boyfriends name.
Weve since broken up not anything to do
with the video, she told CNN. I have no negative
feelings toward Creighton.
Robert Selfaison has been part of this extreme
sports group of friends for several years and has
also traveled the world having his own crazy expe-
riences and adventures. Once theyd built connec-
tions with other people with similar interests,
doors began to open, and new opportunities, such
as the rope swing experience, began to arise for
the adventurers.
Creighton is really getting more credit for
the stunt than he deserves, Selfaison said. Its
not like he designed the rope swing. For us, these
adventures are not that difcult. Its more that we
know the right people and are in the right place
at the right time. For the most part, other people
have already attempted these adventures, and we
just recreate them.
Provo provides breeding ground for small businesses
B y C A S E Y B R I G G S
Provo has made a name for itself for
being not only a mecca of Latter-day
Saint socialization but also one of the
best places in the country to start a
business.
This may seem unexpected because
Utah is located in the middle of the
United States; Provo is not on a coast
where business almost always booms.
But somehow, start-up companies are
thriving in Utah Valley. To some, like
Scott Petersen, the managing direc-
tor of the Rollins Center for Entre-
preneurship and Technology in the
Marriott School of Management at
Brigham Young University, this does
not come as such a shock.
A lot of people work together to
make the Utah ecosystem healthy as
compared to the rest of the United
States, Petersen said. The govern-
ment here is very supportive, and
we have hardworking, well-educated
people with a good value system.
And then, you have universities par-
ticipating at the level that they are
here, BYU is among those training
students to be entrepreneurs and
teaching them correct principles.
Having one of the worlds largest
private universities in its city lim-
its provides Provo with a significant
boost in the ability to help teach and
foster entrepreneurs. BYU currently
assists in several ways, including
mentoring, competitions and in-depth
curriculum. The Center for Entre-
preneruship and Technology also
maintains relationships with several
departments across campus, provid-
ing several groups of students with
very real chances for success.
By developing alliances with the
engineering, math, sciences, arts
and humanities departments, we are
able to find those people who are most
innovative and connect them with
people here in the Marriott School
who understand organization, struc-
ture, leadership and finance and all
things necessary in order to run a
business, Petersen said. We like to
be able to connect the innovators with
the executors.
Not all start-up companies in Provo
begin in the Marriott School. J.D.
Schoen and Logan Bird were serv-
ing their missions for The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in
Brazil when the idea for their com-
pany started.
As missionaries, you dont get to
show a lot of personality in the way
you dress, so we saw these watches
that could be customized, and that
just really appealed to us, Bird said.
We didnt find anything like it when
we got back to the United States, so
we decided to make them ourselves.

Not everybody had as difcult of a time jumping off the edge of a cliff as Jessica Powell did. Powell was nervous to jump, so her boyfriend at the time, Creighton Baird, pushed her over the edge in the YouTube
video Boyfriend pushes Girlfriend off cliffInsane Rope Swing.

Student finds business
success through YouTube
B y J O N U L A N D
Waking up at 4:30 a.m. to start a
15-hour workday never appealed to
him. The workload ranged from 20-60
hours per week depending on the
season.
The constant solitude of his job
didnt appeal to him either, but it was
paying for his college degree in lm
from the University of Utah.
Perhaps the worst thing about
Stuart Edgingtons job was that when
he said it was a crappy job, he wasnt
kidding, and he knew he had to get out
of the mire.
But after a year and a half of clean-
ing portable toilets, Edgington came
away with a cache of great ideas to
make a decent living doing something
less degrading.
Edgington, 23, has attracted inter-
national attention doing something he
loves: creating YouTube videos.
I spent a year and a half alone
doing a humbling job, not being able to
talk to anybody, Edgington said. All
I did was think of ideas in my brain.
Edgington began lming his ideas
and posting them to YouTube in the
fall of 2012. His rst few movies never
gained more than a few thousand
views, but Edgington got his big break
in December.
He came up with the idea of a mistle-
toe prank at a party, where there were
leaves of mistletoe hanging on the ceil-
ing and no one kissing underneath. He
lmed and edited the video in three
days and posted it to YouTube.
I was not expecting it to be that
big, Edgington said. My mistletoe
video, that week, was the number-one

Veronica Mars Kickstarter campaign breaks records
B y G L E N N R O W L E Y
A popular cult TV show broke
multiple records with its Kick-
starter campaign last week by
harnessing the power of its fans
to help fund a follow-up movie to
the series.
Veronica Mars, a neo-noir
mystery series starring Kristen
Bell, aired from 2004 to 2007 on
UPN and The CW until it was
abruptly cancelled at the end of
its third season. The Kickstarter
campaign was launched last week
by creator Rob Thomas to fund a
full-length feature lm to wrap up
storylines and give fans closure.
Almost since Veronica Mars
went off the air, theres been talk
of making a movie, Thomas
wrote on the Kickstarter page.
Warner Bros. wasnt convinced
there was enough interest to
warrant a major studio-sized
movie about Veronica, and the
project never got off the ground.
After learning about the crowd-
sourcing site, Thomas and the cast
decided to put the movie into the
fans hands and ask them to help
fund it. The campaign reached
its $2 million goal in less than 11
hours the largest lm project
in Kickstarter history. Since then,
pledges have continued to pour in,
reaching more than $3.5 million
at press time.
Justin Curtis, a political sci-
ence major and fan of the show,
donated to the Kickstarter
because of his loyalty to the show.
It was a unique show, and
there hasnt been anything like
it since on TV, Curtis said. I felt
like $25 was worth nally getting
some closure to the story. Plus, I
get a copy of the shooting script,
which is a pretty cool prize.
Curtis said this Kickstarter
campaign demonstrates the
power fans have when it comes to
their favorite shows.
A Veronica Mars movie
would never have happened with-
out this Kickstarter, he said.
The studio wouldnt support
it, so the fans really took charge
and raised the
money our-
selves. The fact
that more than
two million dol-
lars was raised
in less than
a day really
shows the pas-
sion that the
fans still have
for the show,
even though it
was cancelled
more than ve years ago.
Daniel Hearn, an electrical
engineering major, said he hopes
the success of the Veronica
Mars campaign bodes well for
other cult TV shows in the future.
Maybe if we had Kickstarter
years ago, we could have gotten
the fourth season of Arrested
Development a lot sooner, Hearn
said. Hopefully this sets a good
precedent for other shows that
got cancelled
too soon.
Hearn added
that, with thou-
sands of Kick-
starter pages
vying for peo-
ples dollars, the
campaigns with
million-dollar
goals should be
projects that
are important
to fans.
The million-dollar ones Ive
seen have been things like this
or the video game equivalent,
he said. There is a huge market
for sequels to cult classics of all
media types, and Kickstarter is a
safe way for companies and stu-
dios to gauge how much interest
there really is in their specic
project.
Fashion shifts from multicolored to monochromatic
B y A N D R E A H U D S O N
History shapes fashion.
Flipping through the Vogue
Paris Collections for Spring 2013,
solid colors are in. Even the cover
boldly boasts monochrome.
The current monochromatic
trend that of wearing differ-
ent shades of the same color is
catching like wildre, but this is
not the rst time it has made its
appearance. In fact, the trend is a
trend in and of itself.
Mary Farahnakian, a BYU pro-
fessor in the Theatre and Media
Arts Department who teaches the
history of apparel class, shared
insight on the current monochro-
matic trend.
It has a history behind it,
Farahnakian said. You can see
how it connects the 30s with the
Depression, 50s with the Cold
War, and then we come to even the
end of the 80s with the recession
and now our time with the reces-
sion again with the economy.
History has shown that fashion
trends often survive time. Times
of nancial crisis may inadver-
tently lead to more conservative
designs, but designers have taken
the inspiration of the times and
embraced the potential. While the
monochromatic fashions found on
the runway today may not actu-
ally take cost into consideration,
cost was an evident origin to the
now-high-fashion style.
The interesting thing is that at
the time, the economy is low, but
still there is an interest in fashion,
so it costs less and it is interesting
and beautiful at the same time,
Farahnakian said.
From the Depression to the
recession, the monochromatic
look has made appearances on the
runways and streets alike. The
trick to mastering it is to make it
interesting.
It appears that this is a recur-
ring theme. But just because his-
tory is repeating itself yet again,
doesnt mean everybody is keep-
ing up with the latest runway
trends.
Kelsie Moore, a senior major-
ing in lm, didnt know dressing
monochromatically was a big
trend.
I would denitely see it in
wearing all black; I love wearing
all black, Moore said. Colors,
I dont know about that it has
to be tactful. Im sure a runway
could do it, but I dont know if
real people can do it. Youd have
to mix it with patterns and differ-
ent sorts of shapes, but I wouldnt
do it with bold colors.
Some may feel the bold colors
are reserved for the runway mod-
els, but people are still adapting
their own styles with the mono-
chromatic trend to build a whole
new look.
In Los Angeles, one of the fash-
ion capitals of the world, styles are
often a bit more adventurous.
Angela Choe, a graduate from
The Fashion Institute of Design
and Merchandising in Los Ange-
les, experiences daily how these
trends are magnied in the city.
From working on various photo
shoots to attending Los Angeles
fashion shows, Choe comes across
these trends rsthand.
I have watched the mono-
chromatic trend develop from
runway shows to bloggers and to
the streets, Choe said. Bloggers
have really taken great initiative
in establishing trends, and the
monochromatic trend just hap-
pens to be one of many. The key
to a successful monochromatic
look is to add a neutral accessory
whether it be a clutch, jewelry or
shoes. As of lately, the monochro-
matic trend does not stop at colors
but exists in looks that consist of
print on print, orals, tartan and
jacquard.
But Choe agrees with Moore
that it is more likely for people to
wear all black or all white rather
than to boast more bold colors.
Sarah Johnson, a freshman,
is one of the few who will pull off
bold colors.
Ive always liked colors,
Johnson said. Ive experimented
with as much color as possible for
years, but now that its on the run-
ways, Im nally in style.

Weekly Five: Strategies
for filling out the NCAA
March Madness bracket
B y S T E P H A N I E O R A N
Millions of Americans around the coun-
try will be participating in this years NCAA
March Madness basketball bracket tourna-
ment. With prize money, recognition and brag-
ging rights on the line, some students put a lot of
time and thought into lling out their bracket.
With over 9.2 quintillion possible brackets, the
odds of a person picking a perfect bracket are
low but possible. To help with one of the most
crucial decisions to be made this month, here
are ve strategies students use when it comes
time to ll out their bracket.
1. Pick your seeds wisely
This might seem obvious to some, but there is
a point in the logic of picking according to seed
numbers. There are several bracket combina-
tions one can create solely based on this theory,
and people have their own reason for picking
the seeds they do. Some students wont pick a
team below a sixth seed to go into the sweet
sixteen while others will pick ninth seeds over
eighth seeds to win (Fact: ninth seeds have won
over half their games vs. eighth seeds).
Tyler Orton, a psychology student from
Houston, Texas, explained his logic behind
this strategy.
I wont pick anyone below a sixth seed to go
into the nal four because, strategically speak-
ing, its impossible. The lowest seed to ever win
was an eighth seed.
2. Go presidential
Whether you agree or disagree with Presi-
dent Obama and his policies, in past years the
president has managed to surprise the country
with some of his picks. Back in 2009, President
Obama correctly chose North Carolina. How-
ever, in 2012 the President right along with
the rest of the country picked Missouri for
the Final Four.
One could just pick the presidents bracket
and see how well it does. Adding a little poli-
tics into sports can be exciting and bring a little
more competition into the bracket, if there isnt
one already.
3. Let the mascots decide
Weve seen the Epic Rap Battle videos on
YouTube and asked ourselves what two his-
torical or ctional gures would win in a ght
(Gandalf or Dumbledore, anyone?). Here is the
chance to do something similar but with col-
lege mascots.
When it comes to lling out her bracket, Alex-
andra Butler, a chemical engineering major
from Gilbert, Ariz., enjoys putting this strat-
egy to use.
I dont always get it right, but its fun to
come up with all these random scenarios on
who would win solely based on mascots, But-
ler said. Things can get pretty creative in some
scenarios.
This strategy, however, requires some study-
ing and creativity, because few people know
what some mascots, like a Billikens, are, but it
adds a fun spin to the selection process.
4. Trust past statistics
Analyzing past performances on seeds and
teams can work well for picking a winning
bracket if you are willing to put a lot of time
into researching past statistics.
Bronte Sam, an exercise science major from
Provo, takes time and bases her decisions on
previous observations and statistics shes
found.
In the rst round I always pick the highest
seed to win, Sam said. Ive never seen an upset
in the rst round, and for my Final Four I usu-
ally pick at least one number-one seed to win.
In this strategy, history can be the great-
est teacher and lead you closer to the perfect
bracket.
5. Go with your gut
Forget all the research, the seeds, the count-
less hours of arguing with friends, and go with
your gut feeling. You may end up with some
weird selections that will surprise others. But
no one knows how the games will turn out, and
so your guess is as good as anybody elses.
