University achieves fair trade status John Carroll Fair Trade Committee wins extensive advocacy battle Laura Bednar

Asst. Campus Editor

After years of campaigning, John Carroll University has joined Seattle University, Saint Joseph’s University, Creighton University and Loyola Marymount University as the fifth Jesuit school to become a fair trade university. There are currently 25 university campaigns declared nationwide.

Fair trade is a system of exchange where the individual producer of a product and the community where that producer lives are provided with fair wages for the goods they produce. The majority of the products are from developing nations outside of the United States. But, locally buying is also considered important.

So, it’s vital that we choose companies who treat their employees with the respect a human deserves even if their government is quiet about it.”

Newly initiated executive board sets goals for the campus community Rachel Distler Staff Reporter

Brianna Lazarchik.

A theme of love was prevalent throughout Ficke’s address. He proved his love not only by spending long nights in the student union office, but also by showing appreciation for the love around JCU’s campus. He alluded to the funeral service held for the late Pat Waldron and how an impressive number of John Carroll students made the trip to Buffalo to support the Waldron family.

Ficke individually thanked the 2014 members of the executive board. This included seniors Scott Stewart, Danielle Keane, Timothy Johnson and Elliot Schermerhorn, as well as Hassay.

Towards the end of the evening, a number of student organizations received the 2014 “Of The Year” awards. These awards include, but are not limited to: the Greek Organization of the Year, won by Lambda Chi Alpha; Cultural Organization of the Year, won by the African American Alliance; Student Leader of the Year, won by senior Mary Lutter; Adviser of the Year, won by McAniff; Student Organization of the Year, won by the Carroll Crazies and Student Senator of the Year, won by senior Samuel Braun. Each recipient of an award was chosen because of exemplary leadership and commitment to the JCU community.

Another era has arrived as JCU welcomed a new executive board and senate members to the John Carroll University student union. On Thursday, Jan. 15, the LSC Conference Room was filled with those in support of the leaders being inducted, including students, faculty, staff, friends and family.

Hassay was the man of the hour, inaugurated as the 93rd student union president. He opened his inauguration speech with a quote

by Winston Churchill: “To improve is to change, to be perfect is to change often.”

Returning to the executive board after serving as the vice president of student organizations, Hassay is prepared for his new responsibilities as president. The changes that Hassay has in store for JCU are three-fold: transparency within the student union, improvement of facilities and dining and an increase in campus diversity.

Hassay is excited to make John Carroll a unified environment.

The diversification of JCU is important to Hassay. “We are all Blue Streaks,” he noted.

The rest of the 2015 executive board joined Hassay in the inauguration ceremony. The members are as follows: junior Paul Campbell as the executive vice president, freshman Adrienne Metzger as the vice president of communication, sophomore Deane Stillwagon as the vice president of business affairs, sophomore Will Hudson as the vice president of student organizations, junior Matthew Hribar as the vice president of programming and junior Noble Churovia as the vice president of judicial affairs. The class senators were also sworn in.

The evening began with a farewell address from former student union president, senior Tim Ficke. Ficke thanked his friends, family and fellow student union members. Special thanks were given to the executive board, Director of Photo courtesy of Tonya Strong Student Activities Lisa Ramsey, Office of Stu- Student union executive board members Will Hudson, Adrienne Metzger, dent Activities Administrative Assistant Janet Noble Churovia, Cole Hassay, Matthew Hribar, Paul Campbell and Deane Paradise, the Rev. Bernie McAniff and senior Stillwagon were inducted Thursday, Jan. 15.

Interfaith Student Panel

Join students of different faiths and humanistic traditions on Monday, Jan. 26 at 7 p.m. to find out how they care for the Earth. The “Living the Mission Interfaith Student Panel: Caring for the Earth” will take place in the Dolan Center for Science and Technology in the Donahue Auditorium.

It will be moderated by his excellency Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald, M. Afr., Tuohy Chair.

When you walk into men’s basketball head coach Mike Moran’s corner office in the Tony DeCarlo Varsity Center, the first thing you will probably notice is that all four of his walls are entirely lined with plaques, awards and basketballs commemorating the success of the JCU men’s basketball program.

On Dec. 10, 2014, Moran added another accomplishment to his walls. On that day, he achieved his 400th career win against Ohio Northern University. Only four other coaches in the history of the Ohio Athletic Conference have achieved this feat.

Many coaches view these sorts of accolades as signs of success.

However, that couldn’t be further from Moran’s definition of success.

For him, it’s about what his players accomplish.

“The thing is, it’s not a ‘me’ type of thing,” said Moran “I didn’t win a game. How many points have I scored at John Carroll? Zero.

And right now, I’m lucky if I could make a foul shot if you locked me in a gym by myself.”

“It’s a tribute to the kids,” Moran continued. “I’ve had a lot of very good kids and very successful kids when they have left here, which I think is probably our biggest and most shining accomplishment. I mean that’s what it’s about. Basketball is great game. It puts bread on the Moran Family table, but more importantly, it’s a good piece of leverage kids can use in the real world.”

While he attributes his accomplishments to his players, Moran’s successful record speaks for itself. He has coached teams that have won 10 regular-season OAC Championships along with three conference tournaments. His players have reached the NCAA Tournament 10 times, including a Final Four appearance with the number three team in the country in 2004. Through the course of his 23-year career, he has a 404-213 record.

Before coming to JCU, Moran was one of the most respected high school coaches in the area at Villa Angela-St. Joseph High School in Cleveland, and ended his career with a 224-53 record and two state titles.

According to these statistics, it’s clear that Moran is to instrumental in his teams’ successes. This is more than likely because of his out-ofthe-box coaching style. For the last 15 years, Moran has implemented

a unique five in, five out platoon style system. The coaching style is unique in because be subs in five players at a time as opposed to a lesser number, a technique that has garnered him some national attention with comparisons to University of Kentucky coach John Calipari. However, Moran says the system is dependent on the players he recruits.

“We have to find kids who want to be part of a successful team,” said Moran. “They are more concerned about reading about their team in the newspaper than they are about themselves, their individual stats.”

Moran is not one to keep track of successes. He didn’t even know the ONU game would be his 400th win until two days before. Yet, he is quick to give credit to those around him, expressing what the JCU community and his job mean to him.

“It’s like a family member,” he said. “It’s part of me. I would like to think that my name is synonymous with John Carroll, and I hope with a successful program. I’m blessed. It’s not a bad job. It beats working for a living.”

From FAIR TRADE, p. 1 The fair trade initiative began when fair trade committee members began educating the campus on the issues of inadequate wages, sweatshops and unfair labor. The campaign also included acts such as having students sign postcards showing they supported fair trade items.

“We have to increase people’s awareness of the issues and be aware of our own consumption by wasting less food and buying less. [There would be] a greater impact on our world of we could have these conversations,” said Margaret Finucane, associate professor of communication and theater arts and former director of the center for service and social action. Finucane was an integral part of helping the fair trade committee reach its goal.

There were five steps the committee had to take in order for the University to achieve fair trade status. The first was to “build a team.”

This was completed when the fair trade committee was created under the Students for Social Justice organization. The next was to “reach out to campus outlets.” This meant that at least two fair trade items must be available in campus outlets. Currently, there are fair trade food items in the Schott Dining Hall, Einstein’s, the Cubby and Starbucks fair trade coffee is available in the Den. In addition to food items, the bookstore sells clothing that has not been made in sweatshops.

The third step was to “source fair trade at events and meetings.” The fair trade committee worked with Aramark Corporation to provide fair trade coffee at catered events. The next step was to “commit to fair trade education by sponsoring educational activities on campus.”

To fulfill this requirement, the committee held and participated in events such as World Food Day, Gifts that Give Twice and the Ohio Fair Trade Expo. Junior committee member Grace Donnelly played a large part in putting together the Expo, which takes place in the fall in the Dolan Center for Science and Technology annually. This expo brings dozens of fair trade vendors to sell products to students and community members. Speakers also present lectures, educating people about fair trade topics.

The last step to becoming a fair trade university was to “pass fair trade resolution,” sophomore committee member Catherine Looby said. “The resolution is a document that is meant to reflect and solidify John Carroll’s commitment to Fair Trade.”

The resolution was brought to student union and faculty to ensure support before bringing it to Vice President for University and Mission Edward Peck, who helped by looking over a draft of the resolution before it moved up to the next level of authorization.

On Dec. 16, the Rev. Robert Niehoff, S.J. signed the resolution to show the University’s commitment to being a fair trade institution.

After signing the resolution, Niehoff stated in his message to the JCU community that, “As a Jesuit University committed to human dignity, environmental sustainability, and economic justice for all, the decision to become a Fair Trade University is a natural expression of our mission.”

The committee received “fair trade” status for the University from Fair Trade Campaigns, a national organization that provides resources to schools, parishes and towns that wish to become fair trade.

The fair trade committee plans to “continue to host events, provide education and work with administration to make sure that future policies match with the new resolution,” said Looby.

The committee is currently working with communication and theatre arts assistant professor Jennifer Catellier’s integrated marketing campaign class to help roll out an advocacy campaign this semester to increase awareness about the University’s new status.

Comedian W. Kamau Bell visits JCU Carrollside chats Rachel Distler Staff Reporter

Within the past year, John Carroll University has focused on increasing diversity and overall awareness of the issue.

Martin Luther King, Jr. is often considered both a role model and inspiration for ending racism and promoting equality in America. Each year, the JCU community recognizes the ideals set forth by MLK in a community celebration.

The annual John Carroll University celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was held on Wednesday, Jan. 14 in the Donahue Auditorium. Each year, this event aims to educate students about racism and the efforts they can make to end racial prejudice.

This year, JCU hosted well-known comedian W. Kamau Bell. Bell shared his thoughts on racism in a fun way that sparked conversation. Bell is most commonly known for his short-lived, but critically-acclaimed, FX comedy series, “Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell.” As a comedian, Bell is always searching for laughs. However, he conveys a greater message through his act.

Bell uses his show to make the topic of racism more approachable. Along with his national tours, he travels to college campuses and educates students about the realities of racism.

Earlier at a meet and greet event, Bell discussed his journey to becoming a comedian, as well as his decision to advocate against racism. When asked how he felt about the current progress being made against racism, Bell said it depends on the day and where you are.

“It’s better to be more realistic and harsh rather than to get caught up thinking everything is okay,” Bell said.

He believes that it is important to show other perspectives on racism, as well as allowing people to have the awkward conversations.

The evening began with an introduction from JCU’s President, the Rev. Robert Niehoff, S.J., and a brief prayer from pastor-in-residence Valentino Lassiter.

Bell’s comedic and educational performance, “Ending Racism in About an Hour,” followed. Bell did not dance around any topics, but rather used modern examples and blunt language. He said, “Race isn’t real. You wouldn’t know what race you were unless someone sat you down and told you.”

Bell then explained that we don’t know what races

are. The 2010 U.S. census grouped the European, Arabic and Latino populations together as “white.”

He ended his act by encouraging everyone to embrace their own race and make sure we don’t dismiss acts of racism.

“Racism is over.

Just kidding. That’s your job,” concluded Bell.

Each joke of the night was incredibly well-received with lots of laughter and applause. Junior Tyra Sadler said that Bell “was very entertainPhoto from Flickr Creative Commons ing. He managed to touch on race and make it understandable for people by exploring peoples’ comfort zones.”

There was a wide variety of students, faculty, staff and community members who attended the event, including a group of students, led by a professor from the Department of Philosophy, Christina Rawls. The group is creating a documentary on race and racism, which will premiere on May 1. According to Rawls, “His performance was multi-faceted, gratifying in all the right ways, incorporated an educational experience with high tech and not only a comedic performance, hilarious, and did I say hilarious?”

Students and others appreciated Bell’s comedic and relaxed approach to a difficult topic. Junior Tim Maxwell, one of the students creating the documentary with Rawls, said, “I really enjoyed his open approach about the issue and I feel that comedy provides and effective way for people to address difficult issues like racism.”

Rawls said of Bell, “He did not only ‘do’ comedy, but connected with us all on many levels, emphasizing that we need to have the awkward but critically and continuously important conversation about race and racism.”

Bell said each comedian has an individual goal, and his goal is to start engaging conversations that will bring people together.

The Carroll News chats with student union president Cole Hassey about goals for the future Mary Frances McGowan Campus Editor

The Carroll News: What was the significance of Winston Churchill’s quote at the beginning of your inaugural address?

Cole Hassay: I wanted to bring that up because it says you have to change as times change to continue making progress. The whole significance of that is I want to bring about positive change at John Carroll.

CN: Talk about your platform you addressed in the inaugural address. As you know, it was to increase transparency with student union, improve facilities and dining and increase campus diversity. What are your ideas for increasing transparency?

CH: I want all the meetings to be at set times to be advertised on the student union website. The meetings will be open to the students at large, they can contribute with any ideas they might have and give some insight as to what improvements should be made on campus.

CN: What are your ideas for improving facilities?

CH: We are going to work with administrators to get things done. Some ideas that we have are extending the hours in the weight room on weekends that give students a healthy alternative instead of going out on weekends. Those go along with the initiatives in Megan Dzurec’s office. Another idea is a tiered system to parking, dependent on price or age. These are big goals, and nothing is absolute, but we are going to work with administration to get it done.

CN: What are your ideas for increasing campus diversity?

CH: I want to highlight what we have in common. And I want to create a diversity committee and start a campaign that celebrates our different backgrounds. We’re all Blue Streaks. I want the student union to reach out to the cultural organizations.

Ignatian Heritage Week to celebrate sustainability Madeline Smanik Campus Editor

John Carroll University’s annual Ignatian Heritage Week will focus on sustainability this year.

The celebration, entitled “Healing a Broken World,” is named after a recent Jesuit document on ecology. The Task Force on Jesuit Mission and Ecology compiled the document in 2010.

Events on campus will take place from Sunday, Jan. 25 through Friday, Jan. 30.

“The Jesuits are very committed to caring for the environment and see our schools as playing a critical role in doing that,” said Vice President for University Mission and Identity Edward Peck.

The editorial section of the document states, “The Church, and especially the two most recent Popes, have been insisting on the need for us to collaborate in the efforts to preserve the environment, and thus to protect creation and the poorest populations, who are those most threatened by the consequences of environmental degradation.”

Peck described another overlap between environmental and social justice.

“The places where we’re harming the environment the most tend to be where the poor live,” Peck said. “All people deserve access to clean water and to usable soil, and they deserve to be free from toxins in the environment.”

“We envision an environmentally, socially and economically sustainable university campus and community,” added Associate Vice President for Facilities and chair of the sustainability committee Carol Dietz.

Peck addressed why sustainability can be connected to the Jesuit tradition of social justice.

“A broad way of understanding justice is giving to one what one is due,” Peck explained. “So, environmental justice is giving the care and respect for the earth that it is due.”

This year’s Ignatian Heritage Week will kick off with the induction ceremony for Alpha Sigma Nu, the National Jesuit Honor Society. The ceremony will be on Sunday, Jan. 25 at 5:30 p.m. in St. Francis Chapel.

Students from different religions will discuss the environment at the “Living the Mission Interfaith Student Panel: Caring for the Earth” on Monday, Jan. 26.

“I know some of the students on the sustainability committee will be participating in this

22

interfaith student panel, where they can talk about what their religions are doing in terms of care for the earth,” said Dietz.

Student organizations, as well as faculty and staff, are invited to a community meeting entitled “Environmental Efforts and Possibilities at JCU.” “What I would love is for different student groups to come and ask, ‘Well, what can we do?’” said Peck.

The meeting will take place on Thursday, Jan. 29 at 2 p.m. in the LSC Conference Room.

“Ignatian Heritage Week also reminds us that we’re part of a living tradition that makes moral demands on us and to which we contribute through our actions in the world,” said Peck.

Dietz described the relevance of sustainability in the world today.

“Whether it’s the Pope or other religious leaders, they all realize that we’re running out of time and we need to get everybody on board,” she said.

The editorial in the Jesuit document, “Healing a Broken World,” features a call to action.

It states, “We need to confront our inner resistances and cast a grateful look on creation, letting our heart be touched by its wounded reality and making a strong personal and communal commitment to healing it.”

“We who utilize and are sustained by the earth have a moral obligation to care for the earth,” said Peck. “And that obligation is one of justice. We take from the earth. We should give back to the earth.”

“I think having a whole week dedicated to [sustainability] can really raise a lot of awareness,” sophomore Monica Angelotti, co-president of the Environmental Issues Group.

Angelotti emphasized the importance of being an environmentally conscious consumer. “If we don’t start doing that on a personal level, then nothing can change,” she said.

When asked what he hopes attendees will take away from the celebration, Peck said, “I really want people to say, ‘Wow, I didn’t know that. I didn’t know that when you put your food tray on there, that all of that food gets ground up and compacted into a paste that becomes compost to grow other food,’” said Peck.

He continued, “I’d like people to have a personal challenge to do something to care better for the earth.”

“We need to do everything we can do to help remind people and discover anew how our heritage comes alive in this institution,” Peck said about the importance of celebrating Ignatian Heritage Week.

How do we measure up?

The Carroll News compares new core curriculum to other Jesuit universities Katie DeBaun World News Editor

Starting in the fall of 2015, the current core curriculum will be replaced with an updated set of requirements.

Although John Carroll University’s new core curriculum will be implemented next fall, it will only apply to that year’s incoming freshman class. Current students at the University will continue to take classes with the current core, which will not be entirely phased out until 2019.

The current core curriculum is divided into five distinct categories and consists of a minimum of 57 credit hours. This makes up nearly half of the 128 credit hour graduation requirement.

However, the new curriculum will be broken into four new categories, consisting of between 40 to 49 credit hours.

Peter Kvidera, an associate professor of English, associate dean and the newly-appointed director of the new University core curriculum, said the decision to overhaul the core curriculum was finalized in April 2013.

“Two years prior to the decision, there was a group called the Academic Planning Task Force, which was a larger program where many faculty were looking at many different parts of the curriculum and the student experiences,” Kvidera said. “The committee’s work spanned two years of discussion and research, first looking at the current core curriculum to see if it met the needs of our students, in preparing them for the social, political and economic lives they’d lead outside the University.”

Although Kvidera was not a member of the Academic Planning Task Force, his role as director of the new University core curriculum is to help students and faculty clarify the requirements for the new core and help create new classes that fit into the new core curriculum.

The four categories are Foundational Competencies, Language, Integrated Courses and Jesuit Heritage.

The Foundational Competencies division contains three to six credits of written expression, three credits of oral expression and three credits of quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis division will replace the current mathematic course requirement.

Kvidera said the committee’s decision to change the current math requirement to a quantitative analysis course occurred after research indicated that students needed to be “more adept at working with data, to use it and apply it within context.”

The new core curriculum will also feature five integrated courses split into three categories: Engaging the Global Community, Exploring the Natural World and Examining the Human Experience. The latter two categories will contain two courses each. Within the integrated courses, students are required to take courses pertaining to science, social science and the humanities.

The courses pertaining to the categories of Exploring the Natural World and Examining the Human Experience will be “linked, sharing a common theme or set of concerns,” according to Kvidera.

“The main goal of these courses is to highlight ‘interdisciplinarity,’ as the courses will come from two different disciplines,” he said. “Nothing in this world is easy enough to require students to answer in one perspective. It requires people to be more nuanced and look at things from different perspectives.”

Doris Donnelly, a professor emerita in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies and a member of the Academic Planning Task Force, provided an example of the effectiveness of the new integrated courses.

“Here’s an experience common to many teachers,” Donnelly said. “A student stops by after class, for example, to say, ‘You know, when we were talking today about the Holocaust in religion class, it reminded me that we were talking about the Nazis’ use of zyklon-B in chemistry yesterday.’

“When that happens, a connection is made across disciplines that make the picture bigger, more complete and, given the subject of death camps, far more grizzly and horrifying,” Donnelly said. “The [current] core didn’t make those connections, at least not intentionally. Once in a while, if they happened at all, they happened accidentally.”

Donnelly expressed great confidence in the new core curriculum.

“No important subject, no subject worth studying, is exhausted by information from one field,” Donnelly said. “To be exposed to various perspectives, different points of view, to flexibility, is preparation for the world every student, not just John Carroll graduates, will be part of.”

According to Donnelly, “Students will win with the new core.”

“Students will be better informed about real, important, and sometimes nitty-gritty issues and their origins,” she said, “[as well as] their complexities, their effect and affect on being human, and on being responsible human beings.”

Additionally, every integrated course will have a writing component, so students will learn different writing techniques throughout all the disciplines included in the integrated courses.

The Jesuit Heritage division requires two religion courses and two philosophy courses. The latter is a decrease from the current requirement of three courses. A course focusing on social

justice will also be required, as well as a course pertaining to fine arts, which has not been required before at the University.

In terms of the social justice course, Kvidera said that it could focus on various aspects, including diversity, marginalized people and economic and social inequality.

The final change to the core curriculum centers on the foreign language requirement.

The current core curriculum requires students to take two semesters of a foreign language at any level. However, when the new core curriculum was created, the Academic Planning Task Force determined that there was a lack of focus on language proficiency.

Due to this realization, the new core dictates that if students are continuing to study a foreign language they began studying in high school, they must begin studying it the 200-level. This is considered the intermediate level. According to Kvidera, this level is the point that proficiency begins.

Students may also choose to take a placement test. If they prove their proficiency in a particular language, they may test out of their language requirement.

However, if students begin studying a language different from the one they studied in high school, they may begin their foreign language studies at the beginning 100-level courses.

Kvidera said that the Academic Planning Task Force also looked into the curriculums of other universities while shaping the University’s new core.

“We wanted to align ourselves more closely with many of our peer institutions, whether they are Jesuit or other institutions in the region, or nationwide universities we see ourselves as peers to,” Kvidera said.

The core curriculum at Canisius College, a Jesuit institution in Buffalo, New York, provides students with basic skills in writing, oral communication, critical thinking, information literacy and “a general overview of many different disciplines and accompanying methodologies,” according to the Rev. Patrick Lynch, S.J., professor of the religious studies and theology and director of the core curriculum at Canisius.

Lynch stressed that Canisius’ core curriculum upholds Jesuit values by promoting “academic excellence, development of the whole person, respect, justice, an ethical life, acceptance of diversity within the United States, global awareness and transcendence.”

Canisius’ core curriculum, which ranges from 36 to 54 credit hours, was created in 2007 and implemented in 2009. It is divided into four categories: Foundation Courses, Breadth of Knowledge Fields, Cross-Disciplinary Knowledge and Skill Attributes and the Core Capstone.

Lynch emphasized the amount of flexibility in the core curriculum at Canisius, since only four courses are required: explorations in college writing, writing about literature, introduction to philosophy and introduction to religious studies.

“Students like the many choices that enable them to take courses that interest them and often relate to their major,” Lynch said.

Meanwhile, the core curriculum at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio, another Jesuit college, was originally implemented in 1995 and will be updated in the fall of 2015, too.

Jen Robbins, associate professor of biology and core curriculum committee co-chair at Xavier University said that the first priority in terms of creating the new core was to “remain true to our liberal arts, Catholic and Jesuit identity.”

“To that end, we have made more explicit the goals and objectives of each core requirement, relating them directly to Jesuit values,” Robbins said. “We hope this will make the core a more integrated experience for students, one that prepares them as whole persons, not just a checklist of boxes to fill.”

Xavier University has also reduced the number of credit hours required by its core curriculum in hopes of offering students more flexibility to take elective courses of their choosing. The old core curriculum contained, on average, 66 credit hours; the new core will only have an average of 48 credit hours.

Robbins stated that the primary focus of the new core curriculum is the ethics and religion division, which contains four courses that examine ethical questions from philosophical, religious and literary perspectives.

Students at Xavier are also required to take a series of liberal arts courses in the disciplines of creative arts, history, mathematics, theology, philosophy, and natural science, as well as three broad electives in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences.

They must also study a foreign language and take one course focusing on diversity.

While Xavier does not intend for the core curriculum to fully prepare students for graduate-level education, Robbins said that the core “teaches about how we know what we know [and] does a very good job of preparing students to become knowledge creators themselves.”

Next fall, first-year students at JCU can look forward to being the pioneers in this academic overhaul.

that the past is behind us and to embrace it, and we use this concept as a positive in our film. I think our film is quite different from “Chronicle,” a much darker film than ours. “Project Almanac” is kind of a fun ride for the most part.

The sci-fi adventure film, “Project Almanac,” which comes to theaters Jan. 30, 2015, follows high school friends as they decide to create a time machine.

SBD: The biggest difference between working on a television experience and the film is that we don’t have as much time to get to know each other. On a television series, we typically have about five months to shoot a season, and on a film of this size you have about six or eight weeks. We are all put into this crazy situation together and you want to make the most and the best of our time.

ALBUM REVIEW

“American Beauty/ American Psycho”

by Fall Out Boy

In 2013, Fall Out Boy made a triumphant return to music with a new pop sound in the album “Save Rock and Roll.” After two years, including a headlining tour with Paramore and winning “Band of the Year” at the inaugural AltPress Music Awards Show, Fall Out Boy has found the perfect mix of rock ‘n’ roll and pop with its sixth album, “American Beauty/American Psycho,” released Tuesday, Jan. 20.

The album features upbeat, heart-racing songs. This shows that Fall Out Boy has returned with a newfound energy. The title songs of the album, “Uma Thurman” and “Immortals,” which was featured in Pixar’s “Big Hero 6,” give the album a lively sound with fast-paced tempos.

However, “The Kids Aren’t Alright” is a slow ballad that feels out of place when up against the more rock ‘n’ roll songs on this album.

“Novocaine,” “Fourth of July” and “Centuries” are

solid performances that emulate the band’s familiar sound.

However, the album suffers in its lyrical content.

The lyrics are not bad, but they do not mesh well with the accompanying sound. Songs with emotional lyrics about love, such as “Irresistible” and “Immortals” do not live up to their rock ‘n’ roll musical counterparts.

“American Beauty/American Psycho” finds the perfect balance between similar songs that are different enough to not feel like the audience is listening to the same song over and over again.

Fall Out Boy has come back from a hiatus, releasing two albums that are radically different from its prehiatus albums. If anything can stand as a symbol for its own, personal renaissance, it is “American Beauty/ American Psycho.”

change it too much. Our writers were really comfortable with us, rehearsing lines and allowing us to put our own twist on things to make it as real as possible. So, it was kind of a blessing in that way.

JW: If we ever made up a goofy, hilarious line, the writers would go home and write it in the script and then it would be there the next morning. That’s what is unique about making a film.

Life & Entertainment 7 SUPB hosts ‘Cupcake Wars’ Tiffany’s engagement ad features same-sex couple www.jcunews.com

Some might say that cupcakes, competition and friends are the key ingredients for a successful evening of fun. SUPB’s recent event, Cupcake Wars, held on Thursday, Jan. 15, had all these ingredients and more.

The event took place in the D.J. Lombardo Student Center Atrium. Tables were covered with sweet treats so students could make Food Network-worthy cupcakes. Decorating tools, candy (such as Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Hershey Kisses), different colors of frosting and vanilla and chocolate cupcakes were all provided.

When asked why Food Network’s television competition series, “Cupcake Wars” served as inspiration for an event, freshman McKenna Cordier, who judged the competition, said, “People tend to like free food. It’s also a way to get everybody back into the school spirit. Also, ‘Cupcake Wars’ has always been a popular show.”

Students filled the atrium for the two hour event, relaxing after a long first week of classes but really getting into the competitive spirit. Participants could design as many cupcakes as they wished. Then, they had the chance to enter them into two rounds of judging. The first round was for the most creative cupcake. The second round was for the ugliest cupcake. Sophomores Zeanna Otis, Shannon Poppe, Lizzie Bove and Erin Hogan served as judges with Cordier.

Junior Andrew Wilson won the first round of the competition. Wilson made a cupcake of a palm tree built from Kit Kats and green frosting. The winner of the second round was freshman Sarah Cullo, who made a cupcake monster that appeared to be eating a variety of different colored frostings.

Otis said that “as this event [Cupcake Wars] continues, it is going to progress more. Maybe there will be new ideas for rounds, themes and decorations.”

SUPB confirmed that it plans to make Cupcake Wars an annual event.

SUPB has kicked off the semester with an event that allowed students to taste the fun of Cupcake Wars on JCU’s campus. Students can look forward to more weekly SUPB events in the future.

Tiffany & Co. has released a new jewelry engagement advertisement featuring a first same-sex couple for their spring campaign entitled, “Will You,” sending the message that love comes in many forms.

Tiffany & Co. is kicking off the New Year in a big way. For the first time ever, the company featured a same-sex couple in its spring engagement campaign. The high-end jeweler’s new ad campaign features the tag line “Will You,” with seven black and white images of couples.

However, an image of a same-sex couple in particular is drawing widespread praise. In the ad photographed by fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh, a male couple sits on a stoop in New York City as they share an affectionate touch and a smile.

According to The Huffington Post, Tiffany spokeswoman Linda Buckley has confirmed that these two photogenic men are a couple in real life. Buckley explained that the purpose of using a same-sex couple was to show “a modern approach to love and romance.”

Now, the 178-year-old company’s new message is that love comes in many forms. Tiffany’s new campaign comes at a time when public support for gay marriage has reached a new high.

“Love is an emotion that everyone possesses, regardless of what socially defines us,” said junior Noble Churovia. “It is a shame that some people fail to recognize different kinds of love, but thankfully companies like Tiffany & Co. are speaking out. Frankly, I think this is long overdue, but it’s refreshing to see our generation making a change in what we see day-to-day.”

Sophomore Katherine Earley added, “I think it’s great that a huge, iconic company like Tiffany & Co. is recognizing homosexual couples.”

Sophomore Lizzie Bove said, “I think this ad really promotes the beauty of marriage, no matter the gender. I hope this ad encourages other companies to support same-sex marriage.”

This ad was not only meant to attract new customers, but was also created with the intention of broadening the portrayals of marriage. As Caroline Naggiar, chief marketing officer of Tiffany & Co., says, “No other brand embodies the emotion and trust that Tiffany does for those who are committed to one another.”

Case for the Cavs When it comes to the Cavaliers in this town, most people have reached panic mode.

I can’t necessarily say I blame them. It certainly hasn’t been pretty so far this season. But, there’s a plethora of reasons that’s the case.

While the Cavs weren’t playing their best ball before the LeBron injury, when you lose the best player in the NBA for two weeks, your team is going to take a dip no matter how good you are.

When the Thunder lost Kevin Durant to injury, they still had Westbrook, who is a far better player than Kyrie Irving or Kevin Love, and they still struggled pretty mightily.

Now, that wasn’t meant to be some sort of knock on Love and Irving. They are just as much a part of Cleveland’s success as LeBron is.

But, my point has been made.

You don’t lose your top player and avoid becoming worse – no matter how bad you were before the injury.

But, as I write this, LeBron has been back for four games where the Cavs are 3-1, including wins over the Clippers and Bulls.

I’m not saying the Cavs have everything figured out. But, it’s certainly looking better with the King around.

Along with the return of LeBron, Cleveland needs to give this team some time.

I know nobody wants to wait.

Everybody wants to win now.

However, you need to face the facts.

No matter how much you may wish to tear him apart, Love’s back is really messed up.

When healthy, he’s one of the best power forwards in the game.

So, let him get healthy before you harp on him.

The Cavs have recently made two trades that, ultimately, will help take this team to the next level.

Timofey Mozgov, J.R Smith and Iman Shumpert need to get worked into the lineup, though.

Specifically, I think the return of Iman Shumpert this week could be the key denominator.

The one thing lacking above all else for the Cavs has been defense.

Luckily, defense has been Shumpert’s forte during his short, healthy stints in the league so far.

I’m not saying once Shumpert returns that everything will be fixed.

What I’m saying is that so far this year, nearly everything that could go wrong for the Cavs has gone wrong.

LeBron got hurt, Love has been injured, Varejao is out for the season and head coach David Blatt is on the hot seat.

Yet, the Cavs are in the East where they undoubtedly have more talent than everybody.

And with over half a season still yet to play, I’m betting on talent over everything else.

I’m betting on the King.

JCU splits weekend in return to action Fino leads Blue Streaks to victory against former squad Joe McCarthy Staff Writer

A two-meet weekend welcomed the John Carroll University swimming and diving teams back from Florida with back-to-back meets. After the women won 11-of-13 events on Friday, Jan. 16, the Blue and Gold looked to extend their winning streak to five meets with a trip to Oberlin College. A talented Yeowomen squad ended JCU’s win streak, defeating the Blue Streaks, 165-69.

The Blue and Gold found wins in just two events with the Yeowomen, earning victories in the 50 Free and 400 IM. Sophomore Amanda Casamatta earned her victory in the 50 Free for the second time on the weekend.

Touching the wall at 26.02 seconds, Casamatta pulled out an impressive victory for the Blue Streaks in an event where the first four places were separated by only one tenth of a second. Freshman Anne Crowley grabbed third for the Blue and Gold with a time of 26.11 seconds.

Casamatta was impressed by the squad’s two victories over the weekend.

“We knew it was going to be tough to swim back to back days but just like usual we went into the meets with the mentality to go in and give it our all,” said Casamatta. “I think the teams dedication and hard work in practices was shown in how well we swam in back to back days of competition.”

Freshman Carly Adams earned the second victory for the Blue Streaks in the 400 IM. Her time of 4:46.64 grabbed a victory for JCU against some tough competition. Adams rounded out an impressive day of competition with a second place finish in the 200 Back and a third spot in 200 Breast.

After losing to Oberlin, JCU dropped to 5-2 overall, while still holding an impressive 3-0 record at home and in the conference.

Before the loss on Saturday, the Blue and Gold found their winning stride in the last four meets, including two victories over the University of Mount Union and Defiance College.

Joe McCarthy Staff Writer

After dropping the first home meet of the year, the John Carroll University men’s swimming and diving team traveled to Oberlin College on Saturday for a dual with the Yeomen. The afternoon came down to the 400-free relay, where the Blue Streaks earned a 15-point swing which helped secure a 120114 win for JCU. Head coach Mark Fino led the Yeomen from 2004 – 2013 before coming to coach at JCU. In Fino’s return to Oberlin last year, both the men and women lost. In Fino’s second return, the men came through with an important win.

Seniors Nick Bockanic and Michael Goggins, and sophomores Corey Kehm and John Scantling came together to produce an important win in the 400-Medley Relay. The time of 3:48.94 was good enough for a first place finish in the early parts of the dual, setting up a tight score for the rest of the afternoon.

Goggins would later go on to add a victory for the Blue Streaks in the 200 Breast with a time of 2:23.36.

Freshman Brian Hulseman added two victories of his own late in the dual to keep the score close with the Yeomen. Hulseman added his first of two victories with a time of 1:50.34 in the 200 Free, winning by less than a second over Oberlin’s Christopher Ayoub.

The freshman went on to place first in the 200 Fly at 2:03.69.

Entering the final event, JCU trailed 114105 going into the 400-free Relay. Both JCU teams finished one-two to secure a 15-point swing that earned the Blue and Gold a comefrom-behind victory. Kehm, Hulseman, sophomore Gabe Nock and freshman Steve Attewell rounded out the first place team, touching the wall at 3:32.36. The second of JCU’s teams touched the wall at 3:45.77, grabbing second and securing the crucial 15-point swing.

JCU’s next meet is against Hiram College on Friday, Jan. 23.

Al-Qaida takes credit for attacks on Paris magazine Carly Cundiff

Asst. World News Editor

An al-Qaida sect located in Yemen claimed responsibility on Wednesday, Jan. 14 for the attacks that took place throughout France at a satirical magazine, a printing business and a Jewish supermarket, according to CNN. Seventeen people were killed over the course of the first week of January.

Brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi carried out the first attack on Jan. 7 at the offices of Charlie Hebdo, a satirical magazine in Paris. According to CBS, the masked gunmen entered the building during an editors meeting, immediately targeting editor Stephane Charbonnier before killing 11 more people, including two police officers and eight journalists.

The next day, Amedy Coulibaly, an acquaintance of the Kouachi brothers, shot and killed a policewoman at the southern edge of Paris, adding him to the list of possible assailants of the Charlie Hebdo attack.

On Jan. 9, the incidents came to head when simultaneous hostage situations occurred. The Kouachi brothers, fleeing police, cornered themselves with a hostage in a printing house, according to CBS. Schools around the area were on lockdown while the

After a couple hours, the brothers ran out of the house, shooting at the police. Police shot and killed them, and the hostage was freed unharmed.

At the same time, Coulibaly took hostages at a Jewish market in central Paris. Four were killed. Shortly after the Kouachi brothers were killed, police stormed the market, killing Coulibaly and rescuing 15 hostages, most of whom were women and children.

On Jan. 11, a video surfaced showing Coulibaly allegedly pledging his allegiance

to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or more commonly known as the Islamic State group, according to USA Today.

In the video, Coulibaly claimed he coordinated his attack “against police” with the Charlie Hebdo attacks, according to the Parisian newspaper Le Monde. Coulibaly also said the Islamic State group gave money to the Kouachi brothers to purchase weapons and other equipment.

According to USA Today, tens of thousands of French citizens crammed into the

Republic Square on Jan. 10 to honor those slain. Throughout France, 3.7 million people participated in demonstrations, including 1.5 million in Paris alone. Many carried signs with “Je suis Charlie,” or “I Am Charlie” to show solidarity with the victims.

French President Françoise Hollande, British Prime Minister David Cameron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu linked arms to lead the march, showing global unity to mourn the victims, according to USA Today.

At the rally, Hollande said Charlie Hebdo represented a message of freedom. He promised that “France would keep defending that message on their behalf.” He then declared a day of mourning and then partook in a moment of silence.

There was sharp criticism from the global community that the United States did not send a higher profile government official. Secretary of State John Kerry traveled to France on Friday, Jan. 16 to “reaffirm U.S. solidarity with America’s oldest ally,” according to CNN. He met with French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius to pay tribute to the victims, as well as discuss a response strategy to global terrorism.

Fuselage from missing AirAsia flight located Ben Gebhardt Staff Reporter

The Indonesian government revealed on Wednesday, Jan. 14 that its search team had located the fuselage of the wrecked AirAsia flight QZ8501 in the Java Sea, according to CNN. The airline made international headlines on Sunday, Dec. 28 after one of its planes went missing during its course from Surabaya, Indonesia, to Singapore.

The BBC reported flight QZ8501 lost communication with the Air Asia headquarters about 40 minutes into its two-hour voyage over the Java Sea. The flight was reported to have flown into a large storm, which is typical on the Surabaya-Singapore route.

The head pilot, Capt. Iriyanto, last contacted AirAsia communications centers at 6:12 local time, requesting permission to raise the plane’s elevation from 32,000 feet to 38,000 feet in order to avoid the storm, according to the BBC. No permission was immediately given from Air Asia officials and, shortly thereafter, the airplane was lost from the company’s radar screens.

There were 155 passengers on the plane, according to BBC, 17 of whom were children. All of the passengers and crew were Indonesian, except one passenger with citizenship in the United Kingdom, and the co-pilot, a French-

man named Remi Emmanuel Plasel. The BBC reported that both he and head pilot Iriyanto were experienced fliers, having recorded nearly 23,000 hours of experience in the air combined.

The search for the missing flight commenced soon after it had gone off the radar. The BBC reported the rescue party was comprised of about 30 vessels, including warships, helicopters and military aircraft from numerous countries.

The United States, Russia, Singapore, South Korea and China assisted the Indonesian government in its efforts to uncover the wreckage.

The first sighting of debris and bodies was made on the third day after the crash was suspected to have occurred, according to the BBC. Progress in the search have been slow, however, due to continued storms and violent seas in the crash sight area.

It took searchers until Wednesday, Jan. 14 – a full 17 days after the crash – to find the fuselage of the plane, CNN reports. Roughly 50 bodies had been recovered from the wreckage as of Wednesday evening, leaving over 100 more still lost at sea.

The fuselage is believed to have sunken 100 feet into the water.

Further controversy surrounding flight QZ8501 emerged on Jan. 5. Reports stated that the plane was not authorized to make the Surabaya-Singapore flight on Sunday, Dec. 28.

CNN reports that flight QZ8501 had clearance to make the voyage four times a week,

Families mourn the loss of their loved ones killed in the most recemt AirAsia plane crash. The Indonesian government has refused to accept AirAsia’s offer to pay each family $124,000. but that authorization did not include Sunday.

AirAsia Indonesia is already under investigation regarding the crash, and has stated that it will fully cooperate with investigative officials.

AirAsia announced that it would pay $124,000 to each of the victims’ families, according to CNN. This is despite the fact that the amount is below the minimum guaranteed by the Montreal Convention, an international treaty regarding compensation for families of disaster victims. The Indonesian government refuses to recognize the agreement.

According to CNN, many families may be planning to challenge AirAsia for a larger compensation through the court system. However, not many are optimistic that the families will even be given the $124,000 previously promised.

The families of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, which disappeared in March 2014, still have yet to be fully compensated for the loss of their loved ones.

The United States government removed travel and trade restrictions involving Cuba on Friday, Jan. 16. These restrictions have been in place since the 1960s.

Ordinary tourism is still banned. However, the new rules enacted by President Obama will make it easier for Americans to visit the country, particularly for business purposes, according to The New York Times.

The biggest differences will come through the financial sector. Cubans living in America will be able to send money back home more easily.

American telecommunications providers and agricultural companies will also be given more leeway in doing business with Cubans, according to The New York Times.

According to NBC, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said in a news release, “Today’s announcement takes us one step closer to replacing out of date policies that were not working and puts in place a policy that helps promote political and economic freedom for the Cuban people.”

While trade will undoubtedly open up with Havana, the new rules in effect do not replace the decades old embargo. The U.S. government will still consider most trade illegal. All travel will also have to fit into one of the government-specified categories, such as educational, religious, cultural, journalistic, humanitarian or family purposes.

According to the BBC, United Airlines announced that they would begin to fly to Cuba from both Houston and Newark. According to The New York Times, however, many analysts and experts have warned against too many quick

“Where are all these people going to eat?” said John S. Kavulich II, a senior policy adviser at the U.S.-Cuba Trade and Economic Council. “Where are all these people going to stay? The excitement, the exuberance, is just out in another galaxy. You can only do what can be done.”

Obama first announced this new deal with Cuba in December. Obama used his executive powers to lighten the embargo, much to the chagrin of Congressional Republicans.

Recent hacks on both Sony Pictures and the Pentagon’s official Twitter and YouTube accounts have led President Obama to call for tighter legislation regarding cyber security in the United States.

According to The Washington Post, this marks the government’s latest attempts at stopping the increasing number of cyber attacks on America’s corporations and government services. New legislative proposals and an executive order have both been drafted along with proposed plans to combat the steadily increasing problem.

The intent of the newly proposed legislation is to increase the data and information shared about cyber threats and attacks between the private sector and the government, as well as updating the legal framework used to prosecute cyber criminals.

The government has called for an increasing number of changes to cyber security as a result of the increasing threat of cyber attacks in the last five years. According to The Washington Post, report of cyber “incidents” to the department of Homeland Security has risen from 105,931 in 2009 to 228,700 in 2013. The severity of the so-called incidents has risen, too.

The Washington Post reported that most of the government’s current focus regarding cyber security has revolved around protecting the 16 sectors that make up the “critical infrastructure” such as water treatment plants, the electrical grid and financial networks.

Discussions on the new policies are ongoing, but Obama hopes to push new legislation through in the coming months.

Rubio, a Cuban American, also sent a letter to Lew this week, according to The New York Times. He questioned whether or not the new rules were violating the current U.S. laws in place.

He continued, sarying, “one thing that’s become even more crystal clear is that this one-sided deal is enriching a tyrant and his regime.”

The Obama administration continues to stress that restrictions over the past 50 years have not been beneficial to either country.

By the end of June 2015, the Supreme Court will reportedly decide if individual states are legally allowed to ban same-sex marriage.

On Friday, Jan. 16, the Supreme Court accepted several cases from same-sex couples in Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky and Michigan after an appeals court in Cincinnati, Ohio upheld the states’ right to impose restrictions in November 2014.

Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton, one member of the three-judge panel of the appeals court, said that courts should not be the ones to rule on same-sex marriage, but rather that voters should be the deciding factors.

The plaintiffs in these cases have cited that “they have a fundamental right to marry,” stating that bans on same-sex marriage are degrading and have “inflicted particular harm on their children,” according to The New York Times.

In addition to deciding the states’ rights to ban same-sex marriage, the Supreme Court will also determine if states are obligated to recognize same-sex marriages that took place in other states.

According to Reuters, the Obama administration will file court documents officially supporting the movement to nationally legalize same-sex marriage.

“It is time for our nation to take another critical step forward to ensure the fundamental equality of all Americans – no matter who they are, where they come from, or whom they love,” said Attorney General Eric Holder.

Oral debates will begin in April, according to Reuters.

A bridal shop in Akron, Ohio that was forced to temporarily shut down after an Ebola patient visited in October 2014 is closing permanently.

Amber Vinson, a nurse from Dallas, visited Coming Attractions,the bridal shop, just days before she was diagnosed with the Ebola virus. When the news broke that Vinson had shopped there, the owners had to shut down for three weeks, losing at least $100,000 in cancelled orders, according to The Associated Press.

In addition, Vinson’s attorneys demanded a refund from Coming Attractions, stating that she wanted to “avoid public scrutiny” by purchasing her bridesmaids’ dresses elsewhere. The owners of the shop refused to grant the refund.

Although no traces of the virus were found, the business could not overcome the stigma that it was “the Ebola shop.” The surrounding community raised nearly $8,000 in an attempt to help the business stay open, but it was not enough to save the store from liquidation.

California

George Plitt, Jr., an actor, army veteran and fitness guru, was hit by a train on Saturday, Jan. 17, while filming on railroad tracks in Burbank, Calif. Plitt was killed on impact.

Witnesses reported the train’s horn was blaring and that the warning lights were flashing. However, Plitt did not evacuate the area.

The police have ruled out suicide as the cause of Plitt’s death, stating that he may have believed the train was on a parallel set of tracks.

It is not currently clear what Plitt and his crew were filming. Police are currently investigating why the men were filming on the tracks.

Massachusetts The trial against Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev began on Sunday, Jan. 18, 2015. So far, prosecutors have not given any inclination of accepting a plea deal to spare him from the death penalty.

Tsarnaev, 21, is one of two culprits responsible for the attacks in 2013 that killed three people and injured 260.

His brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, also took part in the attacks and was killed in a shootout with the police.

Before now, Tsarnaev’s attorneys have attempted to delay the trial due to the publicity surrounding the case.

The initial day of the case was spent interviewing potential jurors. Testimony is set to commence later this month.

Florida

Teenagers from Kentucky suspected of stealing multiple cars and checks were arrested in Florida on Sunday, Jan. 18, 2015.

Eighteen-year-old Dalton Hayes and 13-year-old Cheyenne Phillips spent nearly two weeks on the run after stealing one car in Kentucky, which they abandoned in Georgia, and stealing another car, which contained two handguns.

Hayes is also charged with “custodial interference” after reportedly persuading Phillips to leave home, according to NBC. According to ABC, the teenagers also cashed stolen checks in South Carolina from the first car they stole.

Hayes and Phillips were found asleep in a stolen car in Panama City Beach, Fla. and were taken into custody without incident. Both will be extradited and face felony charges in Kentucky.

A modern twist on education John Carroll University’s Academic Planning Task Force recently announced that changes to the core curriculum at the University will be implemented in the fall of 2015. In addition to reducing the number of credit hours in the core curriculum, the core will also be divided into four new sections aimed to more properly prepare students for life outside of the University.

These changes to the core curriculum have been long overdue. For a liberal arts university, it is necessary to emphasize the interdisciplinarity of course subjects. Currently, a large number of core classes address one specific issue, rather than focusing on the bigger picture. For example, students are required to take just one science or mathematics course, such as calculus or chemistry. For non-majors, the course material is largely irrelevant to their overall education. As a result, students often leave the class feeling unfulfilled or with a temporary knowledge that is forgotten within the year. Therefore, students should recognize that

this new core curriculum will increase their flexibility with choosing Additionally, the University is framed by the Jesuit mission of being men and women for others. Therefore, changes to Division V of the current core will be beneficial to the student body. For example, by decreasing the number of philosophy courses, the University is able to add a social justice course to the curriculum. This new social justice requirement aligns more directly with the University’s mission.

Furthermore, it could also potentially encourage students to partake in more social justice activities outside the classroom.

The changes to the core curriculum will now align with other liberal arts institutions, ensuring a more common ground education. The University’s interest in modernizing its education system is applaudable.

Higl’s Squiggles:

It’s all about me Madeline Smanik Campus Editor

“Your 20s are your selfish years.”

I see articles shared on Facebook and Twitter nearly every day. And, far too many of them contain this statement.

I’d like to know why being selfcentered is constantly applauded and encouraged. On the other hand, while we rarely see articles about the importance of being caring and self-sacrificing.

Who was the first person to decide that selfishness was an admirable trait? Who thinks that taking care of oneself cannot be accomplished without ignoring others?

And since when did my age dictate my attitude towards everyone else?

This concept makes me wonder where the fad of individualism came from. We are often encouraged to think, “It’s all about me.” Advertisements play to our sense of entitlement and self-worth. Smartphones and other devices are personalized and pull us inward, instead of encouraging face-to-face interaction.

But here at John Carroll University, we are encouraged to become “men and women for others.” Does that mean we’re never tempted to be selfish? I think you know the answer.

I was at a meeting last week, and I could hardly focus on the speaker.

I was too distracted by the other students in the meeting who were on their phones, despite sitting in direct view of the person addressing the group. It’s as if they were silently saying, ‘I don’t care what you have to say. In fact, your contribution means so little to me that I won’t even bother to pretend to pay attention. That’s how little respect I have for you.”

Maybe that seems harsh. But imagine that you are the president or another officer of an organization. Imagine that you set aside an afternoon to send emails, reserve a conference room on campus and make a simple flyer.

Then, you draft a short speech, because tomorrow you’re going to present your work at your organization’s weekly meeting.

The next day, you take one last sip of water before clutching your paper tightly and nervously walking to the front of the room. You stand there, smile, and look up at a few dozen people. You begin talking.

Maybe 30 seconds goes by. You’re not quite halfway through your speech. But wait, what’s that? You can no longer see all the faces you saw when you began talking. That’s because half of them are now looking at their tables. Wait, no they’re not.

They’re looking at screens. Some are typing and some are scrolling, but none are listening to you.

You finish your speech and sit down, but you don’t feel a sense of pride or accomplishment. Instead, you’re disappointed. You feel as though your hard work means nothing to the people who will benefit from it.

Does any of that sound familiar?

Have you ever been one of those people in the room, mindlessly scrolling through Instagram instead of giving your full attention?

I’ll guess that is nearly all of us have. We’re not perfect, and we’re easily bored. That happens when you’re used to instant gratification.

We want a new song to download immediately. We want Netflix to stop buffering and start playing as soon as we click “next episode.” Technology has provided wonderful innovations, but it comes with a price.

I know it’s tempting to pick up your phone for the rewarding feeling of entertainment. Remember that you’ll have time for that when you’re by yourself, whether it’s at home or in a waiting room. But when you’re in a meeting or class, try to think about what it’s like to be the leader or the professor.

Follow the age-old advice to put yourself in their shoes. Listen, and you may walk away with a new thought or idea. And, you might find that listening and showing respect

Welcome to the future.

2015 has arrived. As predicted

by Back to the Future II, we enjoy a mostly comfortable existence in an age of amazing technology.

We’re still waiting on flying cars and a Cubs’ World Series victory, but for the most part we have it made.

Looking into the future is intriguing. Will on-campus construction ever end? Will the Browns ever win a Super Bowl?

Examining your own future can be just as interesting, and also very important.

As a kid, I always wondered what profession I would enter as an adult. I eliminated professional athlete and doctor early on. My first dream job was a train engineer, or as I called it, “a choo choo driver.”

In grade school, I dreamed of becoming a weatherman. As the old joke goes, it’s the easiest job in Cleveland since the meteorologists in this town often fail to accurately predict the weather. In their defense, this city’s weather is absurd. One day, it’s 60 degrees and sunny and the next there is snow on the ground.

Later on, I ditched that dream and considered becoming a lawyer. The thought of law school caused me to change my mind in a hurry.

As I entered high school, I started narrowing down the possibilities. I eventually decided that

Alexandra Higl Editor in Chief

Hello, and welcome to another round of Higl’s Squiggles’ game, “picture this.”

Today, we take you to a suburban house with a white picket fence, lush green yard and a family of four. It’s 5:30 p.m., and the mom, dad and two kids are seated at the dinner table, ready to engage in an intellectual conversation.

Tonight’s topic: Is Kim Kardashian’s derrière fake or real? Ready, set, go.

If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, why not spark a heated discussion about the Real Housewives of New Jersey?

Okay, let’s move on to scenario number two.

It’s 5:30 p.m. Dad’s still at work.

Mom’s out shoe shopping. Offspring number one is hiding in his room playing video games and eating leftover Chipotle.

And, offspring number two is plopped in front of the television watching “Entertainment Tonight” and eating Chinese carryout.

Do these situations sound far-fetched to you? I’m going to bet my bottom-dollar they don’t.

Now, let’s go to scenario number three.

It’s 5:30 p.m. For the sake of setting the scene, let’s throw the white picket fence and lush green yard back into the picture. The family of four is sitting at the table about to eat a home-cooked meal. Mom tells the kids to put away their smartphones.

Dad begins the conversation, commenting on Obama’s initiative to raise taxes on the wealthy in an effort to help middle class Americans. Offspring number one raises an insightful argument, citing something he read in The New York Times. Offspring number two refutes offspring number one’s claim, providing evidence from an audio segment she heard on the BBC. Mom throws her opinion in the mix, and voila, we’ve uncovered the recipe for a thrilling dinner conversation.

So, show of hands, how many of you loyal readers engage in situation three on a regular basis? I could be wrong (and I occasionally am), but probably not many of you.

A recent Gallup Poll showed that many Americans were unaware of what was happening on their own soil.

Specifically, many people under 40 years old rarely tune in to a political talk show, pick up a daily newspaper or watch

Dinner convo face off: Kardashians vs. Obama the nightly news.

Yet, young Americans are obsessed with celebrity gossip, reality television and the works.

Before you rip this paper to shreds and feed it to the voracious JCU squirrels for an afternoon snack, I’m not saying there’s anything necessarily wrong with that. We all have our guilty pleasures.

However, it’s a sad reality that many people don’t know who their governor or the U.S. Secretary of State are. Nor do many know or care about what’s happening on Capitol Hill.

Why should we care? Well, for starters, it directly affects us. Your student loan future, your safety, security and career path could and will likely be dramatically influenced by current events and political action.

How about who gets cut on “The Bachelor?” Surprisingly, not so much.

I grew up in a household where my morning ritual consisted of my parents shoving a cup of coffee and a copy of The Plain Dealer in my face. If I didn’t know what the main stories were, let’s just say that dinner was a tad uncomfortable.

And let’s circle back to the whole dinner scenario. I was raised in a house where family dinners were the highlight of the day. We’d sit down, television off, with a home-cooked meal and have a conversation about what in the world is going on in the news. This would last us at least a solid hour.

Perhaps this is why I’m a secondsemester senior with foolish aspirations of entering into the wonderful world of journalism.

Please don’t be alarmed. I’m not saying you need to raise your children to be journalists. You can breath easy. I’m just saying we need to strive to become wellinformed citizens participating in this crazy democracy of ours.

So, be a rebel. Ask a friend at the dinner table what they think of the Charlie Hebdo situation. Make dinner for your parents next time you go home, tell them to put away their smartphone, and talk about the 2016 presidential election.

Warning: stay away from any bloodbaths that may be caused by extreme partisan views.

But don’t fear. You’re already on the right track. Why? Because you’re holding a copy of an award-winning newspaper in your hands right now. Enjoy.

An eye on the future

I wanted to become a writer. As I continue on in my junior year at John Carroll, I still dream of becoming a professional writer, be it as a sports reporter or a member of a sports information department.

Even though I know my goal, I still think about my future every day. You should, too.

The decisions you make now not only your path in life, but your choices – big and small – also shape you as a person. What major will you choose? Will you help out your friend, roommate or fellow Blue Streak in his/her time of need?

I recognize that I am incredibly fortunate. I know where I want to be in 5, 10, 25 years. I have found my calling. If you haven’t found your purpose in life, looking forward can be scary. Uncertainty and apprehension might cloud your future.

Instead of fretting about the unknown, control what you can and let go of the rest.

Do something every day to prepare yourself for the future.

Organize your calendar. Plan out a much-needed vacation. Schedule informational interviews with professionals in your field of interest.

You can do many things to make your life easier and improve your prospects of living a happy life with good job prospects once you graduate from college. We are at JCU to learn and have fun, but this is where we determine our future.

As you make decisions, think about the implications they carry for your future self. Will you take Cabbie D to Coventry on Thursday night and skip class on Friday morning, or will you stay in and finish that paper due in the morning? How would a late penalty

affect your grade and your professor’s view of you as a student?

Small decisions can quickly add up to big consequences. Not every choice is crucial to your future, but many are.

Even if you have your career path already paved and you know what you want to be when you grow up, always keep your future in the back of your mind.

To end this column, I’d like to quote one of my favorite of the 20th century, J.R.R. Tolkien, from his masterpiece, “The Hobbit”: “The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.

Today and tomorrow are yet to be said.

The chances, the changes are all yours to make.

The mold of your life is in your hands to break.”

Culture, Goodness Gracious: culture, culture

Grace Kaucic Editorial & Op/Ed Editor Prepare yourself to hear this question more than you’d like over the next couple of weeks: “What’d you do over winter break?”

If you’re thinking of asking me that question and expecting me to say something cool like I went back to Europe, don’t. Because I didn’t.

I read books and watched movies during winter vacation. That was the highlight of my break.

And, I’m not even mad about it.

Trust me, I’ve seen the breathtaking beach pictures and the jealousy-inspiring party pictures on Instagram. I know what I missed during our three-week break. And I’ll say it again – I’m not mad. Nope.

Maybe it’s because I’m naturally a homebody. Maybe it’s because I’m adopting grandma-esque qualities early on in my life, like hating big crowds and wanting to drink chamomile tea and sleep for 15 hours instead of getting bleep-faced every night. Or, maybe it’s because I’m content with just culturing myself.

Yes, I know I sound like some kind of hoity-toity artsy-fartsy snob. As fun as it is to say those words, I’m not either of those things. I promise. However, as a soon-to-be college graduate about to enter the real adult world, I feel it’s time to culture myself. By that, I mean engaging in things like books, movies, music, art – whatever distinguishes cultures from each other.

I like to think of myself as fairly wellread. But, then again, I’m not an English major. So, that’s probably a delusion.

I’ve always enjoyed reading books ever since I was a child. And, honestly, I can’t tell you why I stopped. Maybe it was because I’d rather goof off during my free time than do anything remotely productive that resembles schoolwork.

Maybe it was because I didn’t want to be that girl who stays in her room and

reads instead of socializing with friends.

Regardless of the reason, I stopped reading for fun for a long time, and I’m sad that I did. Because, as it turns out, reading is the most entertaining form of education. It helps you to relax, escape from the stresses of reality and improve your vocabulary and writing skills all at once! Seriously, how much better could education get?

I get it, some people really just aren’t into reading. As I previously mentioned, it does closely resemble schoolwork. It does require a little bit of mental power (or a lot, depending on what book you’re reading). That’s why movies can also be a good substitute.

Disclaimer: “rom-coms” don’t count as an appropriate substitute.

I’m not saying this to upset the population of basic females out there, but romantic comedies tend to be on the mindless side of entertainment. Granted, there are some classics that have come out of the rom-com genre. But, I swear if I see one more with Patrick Dempsey or Drew Barrymore, I’m going to lose my mind.

The movies that are appropriate substitutes for books are the ones that emotionally grip you. They pick you up and spin you around again and again.

They slap you across the face and grab ahold of your gut. They force you to see a side of life that you’ve never seen before, and maybe have never wanted to see. They either leave you in tears or deep, contemplative silence.

Most importantly, they make you relate your own life to what you just saw, considering how drastically different life could be if just the smallest detail had been changed.

It’s all about broadening your perspective of the world. If we continue to watch movies that reinforce what we have always known and believed, then nothing gets accomplished. However, if we choose instead to challenge our own views and personal experiences by subjecting ourselves to the opinions of others, we become that much more involved in the world.

So, read a book every once in awhile.

Watch a movie that isn’t about some complicated love triangle. Pretend you’re artsy-fartsy for once. It might actually change your life.
