The Student Voice of John Carroll University Since 1925

Vol. 92, No. 19

Alumnus’ article ROTC celebrates 66 years at JCU published in U.N. Laura Bednar Campus Editor

Abrial Neely Campus Editor Tom Weinandy, a 2011 John Carroll University graduate, will have an article published by the United Nations Chronicle.

The publication requested Weinandy to write a piece on crisis mapping due to his knowledge on the subject.

As a JCU student, Weinandy majored in spanish and social entrepreneurship, a major he designed for himself through the honors program. Building his own major gave Weinandy the freedom to take many of the courses he wanted. At JCU he had the opportunity to learn from Jen Ziemke, associate professor of international relations at JCU as well as co-founder and co-director of International Network of crisis mapping.

Thanks to Ziemke, his interest in crisis mapping was peaked.

In 2009, Weinandy had the opportunity to attend the First International Conference of Crisis Mappers as a student intern.

This was one of his first experiences with crisis mapping. Three years later, Weinandy decided to write his undergraduate thesis on crisis mapping.

Crisis mapping is the process of gathering, displaying and analyzing data during a natural disaster or political conflict.

Weinandy’s article focuses on the natural disaster, Typhoon Haiyan, that destroyed much of the Philippines in 2013.

The article will be released in May just before the Humanitarian Summit. Weinandy explained how volunteers responded to the typhoon crisis and what improvements they could make.

He noted that online volunteers responded in a larger scale than ever before and worked efficiently, with organization like the United Nations.

With all of the technological advances to communication, people are now able to do much more in their response to disasters. Anyone with an Internet connection can volunteer online to help coordinate information.

Weinandy believes that during any incident, the first responders should be the effected population, not outside organizations. He said the Internet is finally allowing for new solutions and this gives local populations the tools to be active in times of crisis instead of merely being victims.

The Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) is celebrating 66 years at John Carroll University this month.

ROTC is a program for students who have ambitions of becoming a military officer to work toward that goal while obtaining a four-year degree.

Those members who complete all four years are then commissioned as a second lieutenant upon graduation.

Junior Cadet Connor Lynch said, “I joined because it structured my future and put me on a good path.”

The program consists of military science courses, physical training which consists of running and lifting weights and hands-on leadership labs where cadets practice things such as handling weapons, first aid and using radios.

1916 and will be celebrating its anniversary of 100 years as a whole in June. John Carroll had a V12 program during World War II and in 1950, the University president at the time, Rev. Frederick E. Welfle, S.J., asked the army to start an ROTC program at the school.

The University then built a military science building costing $100,000. In 1972, women were permitted to join the ROTC program, and in 1973, John Carroll received its first batch of women cadets. “The ROTC without the University is nothing.

The partnership is what makes it a success,” said Major James Sanders of the ROTC department.

JCU student meets with Representative Fudge Julie Hullett Staff Reporter John Carroll University junior, Krystal Milam, traveled to Washington D.C. to meet with Rep. Marcia Fudge, the U.S. Representative for Ohio’s 11th district on Friday, April 22. Milam’s goal was to persuade Rep. Fudge to sign legislation regarding climate change and mass incarceration.

Milam is a member of an advocacy program called Friend’s Committee on National Legislation (FCNL), a Quaker advocacy group. FCNL has 18 locations across the country. There are several bills that Milam and members of FCNL was lobbying for Fudge to sign. One is titled the PREPARE Act, which stands for Preparedness and Risk Management for Extreme Weather Patterns Assuring Resilience and Effectiveness.

The PREPARE Act explains that extreme weather poses risks to economic and environmental systems, ranging from agriculture to infrastructure.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that there is a breakdown of communication and organization within the federal government. GAO also reported that there are no programs to monitor effectiveness and no method to distribute information to state and local governments.

The PREPARE Act has three main goals. First, it would create oversight and governance structure for the government to implement preparedness and risk management initiatives. Second, the act would identify regional issues and adopt risk management practices. Third, it would form a regional coordination plan. So far, this act has bipartisan support.

Johansen has been a Biology professor at John Carroll for 28 years and advises all levels of undergraduates.

This year’s Distinguished Faculty Award has been given to associate Biology professor, Jeffrey Johansen.

This award is the highest honor a faculty member can receive and it recognizes teaching excellence, service and leadership of students. The member is selected by the University Community and is presented annually to a full-time faculty member.

“I was very surprised. There are a lot of great professors in the biology department, [and] every one is very strong and good” said Johansen.

Johansen has been a professor at Carroll for 28 years and is an advisor to freshman, sophomores, juniors, seniors and grad students in the Biology department. He also teaches several courses, including Climate Change, Principles of Biology III, Algae, Aquatic Resources and next fall, Exploring the Natural World, which is part of the new core.

Johansen knew he wanted to be a college professor at a university since sophomore year of college.

When asking Johansen why he chose to teach at John Carroll, he laughed and stated, “because the University offered me a job.”

Although,it wasn’t long until he knew it was a great fit.

“I like the University’s strength of student body. I feel John Carroll is more scholastic than state schools,” said Johansen. “I felt like I could make a career here, so it was great to come.”

Johansen is also involved a great deal besides being an advisor and professor. He is hosting a national conference this summer from July 24-30 at JCU, where all people from his scientific society will present their research.

Students can help with the conference this summer by collecting and performing lab work on algae.

“I have plenty of students in a research program where we work in a lab, collect data and publish stories together,” said Johansen.

This national society is called the Phycological Society of America. Phycology is the study of algae.

The society produces a scientific journal of peerreviewed scientific papers. Johansen is expecting 220-250 attendees.

Two years ago, Johansen also hosted the 19th Symposium of the International Association for Cyaonphyte Research. 80 researchers from all over the world attended that meeting that took place on JCU’s campus.

Photo courtesy of Jeffrey Johansen Johansen is married with three grown children ages Johansen participates in the Czech national sport of mushroom hunting. 26-33 and outside of class, he does more research. This summer he will spend 88 days in the Czech Republic, where he will lead a team of 10 Czech researchers at the University of South Bohemia. This is a part of a funded project to study the cyanobacterial genera of Europe through the use of molecular methods. He has collaborated with this group of researchers for ten years. In his spare time, he enjoys singing and playing guitar and has performed with bands in the Czech Republic.

Johansen will receive a cash prize and an engraved plaque for his award, which will be presented at commencement. A reception will be held in his honor in room A 202/203 of the Dolan Center for Science and Technology on Thursday, May 5 at 3:30 p.m.

The Carroll News From FUDGE, p.1

Student lobbies to Congresswoman Marcia Fudge regarding issues of climate and rehabilitating prisoners A second bill that Milam and FCNL are lobbying for is the Recidivism Risk Reduction Act. This piece of legislation promotes education, job training and rehabilitation in prisons.

The bill would also require prison systems to assess the recidivism risk of prisoners and assign appropriate programs.

Additionally, this legislation would provide incentives for prisoners to be released sooner by participating in these programs.

Finally, the employees must be trained in this new system.

Milam feels strongly about the way in which America handles criminals. “We give up on people too fast. This bill creates more programs for people in prison,” Milam said.

There is another bill that Milam and FCNL were successful in lobbying Fudge to pass.

Known as the Sentencing Reform Act, this law reduces mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses and gives judges more discretion to determine appropriate sentences.

Seven people met with Fudge, her district director Kevin McDaniel and her office manager Linda Matthews in one of the Congresswoman’s district offices in Warrensville Heights.

Milam and other representatives from FCNL discussed their concerns about climate change and mass incarceration at the members office in Washington D.C. Rep. Fudge appreciated their concern and welcomed their suggestions. She has not signed

the legislation yet, but Milam feels that the advocates made great progress by meeting with Fudge in person.

“It’s not that Marcia Fudge doesn’t agree with what’s going on, it’s that she hasn’t gotten the message yet,” said Milam. “That’s why it’s so important to bring people into the offices.”

Milam and FCNL will follow up with Rep. Fudge and her staffers. According to Milam, it takes many phone calls, emails and office visits to get legislation passed, but she believes that this meeting was an important step.

“This time I feel like we made more headway because her district director was there” said Milam.

So far, Milam has been successful in her proceedings with FCNL. One month ago, Milam and several Cleveland State University students attended the Spring Lobby Weekend in Washington, D.C. Nearly 400 college students from across the country also attended this convention. The Call and Post, Cleveland’s oldest African American newspaper, published a story about Milam’s attendance at the Spring Lobby Weekend.

Milam and her fellow workers at FCNL will continue to meet with politicians to encourage them to pass important legislation.

This past week, the group held multiple events in support of those who have experienced or witnessed these types of violence. One of the events was a dance benefitting the non-profit organization “Love Doesn’t Shove,” started by alumna Gabrielle Kreuz. The dance took place on Friday, April 22.

From ROTC, p.1 One opportunity for cadets is to go overseas for Cultural Understanding Learning Proficiency Training (CULP). Only cadets who have been contracted may apply for this opportunity. This means that they commit to a four year obligation to serve after graduation.

Cadets fill out an online application where between 600 and 800 are chosen out of 1600 applicants. These cadets are then assigned a country to go to for different types of training.

There are different types of CULP training including military-to-military contact, as well as humanitarian or civilian, where cadets serve the population. This year, three of John Carroll’s ROTC members were chosen.

Freshman Cadet Zachary Donner will be going to Madagascar. “It’s a little scary, but it will definitely help after college. [I’ll] learn how they do things and apply it over here,” said Donner.

He will be participating in military-to-military contact training, meaning he will train with Madagascar’s military in either their capital city of Antananarivo or their own version of West Point. After some preliminary training at Fort Knox, Donner will be leaving for Madagascar on May 23.

The reasoning behind these month-long trips is to make sure participants understand how not to offend the other side and to learn from their tactics. “You could be working with these people one day; they are our allies,” said Lynch.

Lynch will be going to Latvia for military-to-military contact training and will be joining other soldiers from areas such as the Baltic States, Latvia, Lithuania and Germany. He has not yet received the full details of his trip, but he knows he will be participating in an operation called “Saber Strike.”

“It’s anxious excitement; [I feel] anticipation of the unknown,” said Lynch.

Sophomore Cadet Michael Schmitz will be leaving for Honduras on June 11. In addition

28

to military-to-military contact training with the Honduran army, he will meet the Ambassador of Honduras and receive a tour of the embassy headquarters. “I am excited. Being more culturally competent is an important skill to have,” said Schmitz.

Over the course of April, members of ROTC have participated in several events in honor of their anniversary. During the weekend of April 22-24, cadets represented John Carroll in the Mountain Man Memorial March.

This march took place in Tennessee and is done in honor of soldiers who have died in combat.

The families of these fallen soldiers are called gold star families.

Schmitz said, “The most rewarding part is [representing] the gold star families. It’s nice to be there for that cause.” Those who run have a picture of the soldier they are representing attached to their back, including their years of service, rank and birth and death dates.

The march is open to ROTC programs from all over the country, as well as civilians who would like to participate. The march consists of a choice of running a marathon, a half marathon or a 10 K. Cadets can choose to run in light uniform, which is boots, army pants, t-shirt and hat, or run in full uniform along with a 35 pound backpack known as a ruck sack.

ROTC members train all semester for this annual event and members have to try out in order to make the team. This year, John Carroll’s team ran the half marathon with full uniform and ruck sack, placing second among all of the teams present.

The ROTC also has a fraternal organization called “The Pershing Rifles.” It is the oldest continuous organizations on campus.

Members ensure there is a color guard at football games, go on military maneuvers and go on trips or have parties for a social aspect.

Adviser to the group, Vourlojianis said, “I enjoy watching them mature and develop. They find a sense of place and who they are.”

The Carroll News

The CN speaks with “Alice Through the Looking Glass” director, James Bobin Morgan Osheka Arts & Life Editor

The Carroll News participated in a conference call interview with James Bobin, director of Walt Disney’s sequel, “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” produced by Tim Burton and based on characters written by Lewis Carroll.

Q: Will the film be a continuation of the first film’s original storyline in “Alice in Wonderland?”

James Bobin: The original book is particularly important to me because, growing up in England, I read this book 100 times, so I knew it pretty well. But, that also meant that I knew going into this that the book’s story is rather unusual. The book’s story is a very strange sequence of events, and it’s beautiful and great, but doesn’t really work as a driving narrative to sit down and watch for an hour and a half.

It was really keen to combine elements of the book that I thought were important, but at the same time use the character’s from Burton’s first film to try and tell a story that feels the spirit of Lewis Carroll. We tried to keep elements of the book, like location and some dialogue, but really the story is an original story.

It serves as both a prequel and sequel to the first film.

Q: You’ve taken on such iconic characters in your direction experience, from the “Muppets” to “Alice in Wonderland.” How do you deal with the pressures of adapting such classic stories while still putting your own original touch on them?

Bobin: I feel that with both the Muppets and Alice, I have a very clear idea of what they mean to me, so I have a sense of what I think they are. With the “The Muppets,” I remember them very clearly from my childhood and I remembered why I liked them. So I wanted to try and make them feel like that again. I’m not the only person who loves these characters; everyone loves these characters. It’s a responsibility to try and reintroduce these characters.

However, Alice is different. She’s been around for almost 150 years. It’s incredible to make a movie as a testament to Carroll’s incredible imagination to this world. I want to be true to Carroll, but at the same time, I want to make

a film whereby you are transported to an incredible place, to that part of the story where Carroll thinks. This film should introduce Carroll’s work and be true to it, but at the same time, making it relevant is my job.

Q: How do you approach creating the unique areas of Wonderland? Does your process involve your own sketches or more in-depth concept art?

Bobin: When you read a script, you can’t help but visualize it neatly in your head. That’s just your own brain creating images for you. That’s often very based on the things you’ve read and the world you’ve been affected by. Often I do my own sketches, because I like drawing, so I’d do those sketches of places in this film.

Time, played by Sacha Baron Cohen, has a castle; he lives in this incredible place. I had an idea about distance and some sort of obstacle to get to his castle and it being made with gigantic clocks made of stone. But those kinds of ideas in my head had to start by sketching them out and then handing them over to professional concept designers. It’s always good to have a sketch or visual to use to tell a story. You describe what you’re feeling about a place, and often these guys are so brilliant at their jobs, they can interpret your thoughts into actual visuals. My sketches tend to be pencil on a piece of paper, whereas the concept art gives lighting a sense of space and place and that really helps. But you know, beyond that there’s the question of how you see things and how you visualize them. I was very interested in the Victorian world and imagination. Victorians obviously were of a time prior to that of science fiction. A lot of their fantasy world was based on nursery rhymes and medieval stuff.

So I tried to incorporate elements of that in the design throughout the film.

Q: You mentioned you built real sets for the film, including Wit’s End. What was the building process like making these set pieces?

Bobin: Wit’s End is the town in the movie.

It’s basically the place where the Hatter has his family shop. And it’s where the Red Queen and White Queen grew up. I’ve often enjoyed walking around small English villages and understanding how they grow through time. You

And so when I was designing with Tim, I went to this place that felt like has been there for a long time and developed in a very random way. I didn’t necessarily obey the laws of architecture to a degree, because through time buildings settle and move. But here, things were built on top of each other over time. I wanted this place to feel like that. And at the same time have an element of magic. I think the idea of Wonderland to me is the idea of history plus magic. I really wanted to have the sense of why these buildings almost shouldn’t stand up because of the angles they’re built at. The angles they’re standing at, it should be impossible. The idea of impossible buildings was also appealing.

The set was a mixture between Cotswold in England and my old town, Dubrovnik, which has trees on the roof. The set needed to have both the feel of historical, fantasy, and time having passed there. But at the same time have the sense of the magic.

Q: How will the setting and appearance of “Alice Through the Looking Glass” differ from “Alice in Wonderland?”

Bobin: This film has to stay in the world that’s been created. I don’t want you to feel like you’re in somewhere completely different. In terms of character design, they are very similar. But this new world feels like a fake place.

But this movie is set in a different time and place so therefore, I could try and incorporate

other ideas. This is a land where the population is both human and frog and fish and some people with heads of animals. So it has to feel like a place where they could live. Therefore this film has a slight magical sense about it.

CN: This sequel brings back original characters and actors, including Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and the late Alan Rickman. So what new additions or stories were added to their characters and what was it like working with them on this film?

Bobin: They’re all basically heroes of mine.

I love exploring why people are the way they are. This film, particularly for the Red Queen and White Queen, is explanatory and suggests that things aren’t always as simple as good and evil. In terms of new characters, I was very keen to introduce people who felt like they were part of this world. When Hatter first meets Alice in the first book, he says, ‘I’ve been stuck at the Tea Party since last March, when Time and I quarreled.’ I said, that would be a good idea for a character. The idea of Time, in Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland, is a person. Time is a personification of time and is a person you can talk to. Sacha Baron Cohen as Time was a no brainer for me. I knew he’d be fantastic at playing a bad guy you’d feel sorry for.

JCU student blog spot Blog: Tarably Tarafied

by Tara Daly, junior About: Since Tara started college, she has always wanted to blog, but never knew what to write about or how to get started.

Tara thought that a blogger had to be doing something monumental in order to publicly document it. However, she now sees that each and every moment in life can be significant. Becoming chaplain of Kappa Delta sorority has inspired Tara to slow down and take time to appreciate the little things in life. From awkward “weenie-hut-junior” moments to spiritual epiphanies, Tara hopes to capture all the adventures of life with her blog.

Busy college students don’t take nearly as much time as needed to take a step back from the hustle and bustle. Thus, Tara hopes her blog is relatable to others, while also providing laughs, puns and positivity to foster that necessary personal reflection.

Second game provides quick revenge for John Carroll Joe McCarthy Sports Editor

Joe McCarthy Sports Editor

A true underdog story

It is not too often you can watch history in the making, but come Sunday, May 1, we may just see it happen.

Leicester City of the British Premier League is one victory away from winning the title, thanks to a Tottenham Hotspur draw with West Bromwich Albion.

For the uninitiated to English football’s top league, here is a brief history lesson: During the 20142015 season, Leicester City joined the BPL after gaining promotion from the second division. That same season, the Foxes accumulated just 41 points and avoided relegation by just four positions and six points.

Expectations for the 2015-2016 season was just to secure another spot in the BPL. Claudio Ranieri’s squad was given 5,000 – 1 odds of winning the League at the start of the year.

A win on Sunday could break those odds and all the expectations of the season.

Currently, Leicester City sits in the first position atop the League Table with 76 points. The top spot has them sitting above BPL powerhouses Tottenham, Manchester City, Aresnal, Manchester United and defending League champions Chelsea. There is a 29-point difference between Leicester City and Chelsea heading into the final fixtures of the season. There was a 46-point difference between the two clubs at this time last season.

The League script writers could not of created a better story than what fans have watched Leicester City do over the season. Led by emerging star Jamie Vardy, the Foxes have put on a show that deserves recognition from everyone who appreciates a good underdog story or a small time club shaking up the major club dominated league.

To set things straight, I am a Liverpool fan, but I am even behind the Leicester cause. I want to see this team disrupt the social order and structure of English football and do something that has never been done. A League championship victory for Leicester City is a win for all the sports fans that still believe in teams that can break the mold of a capitalistic society that as become the new norm in sports.

Leicester City is a hope for a better future in English football.

The title run is unlike any other, and the meeting with Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday is the representation of the light at the end of the tunnel.

The heavily unfavored underdogs will go against the 20-time League champions Manchester United, the club that stands for all that is continually criticized in modern day sports. Man United is big money; Leicester is grass roots; Man United is Goaith, and Leicester is David. I hope that Sunday is the first day of radical change.

John Carroll University baseball entered and exited the weekend at .500.

JCU split a double header with Muskingum University when they made the trip to University Heights for the Strike Out ALS weekend event. JCU dropped game one 6-5, but delivered an 8-2 revenge victory in the second game.

It would take 11 innings to decide a winner in the first game of the double feature, but it seemed as though things would have ended early for JCU. Senior Aaron Lapaglia got the starting job and found trouble early and often. Muskingum had five runs cross home plate in the first three innings, putting JCU down 5-1 through the first third of game one.

JCU would respond with a three-run fourth frame and a run in the seventh frame to force extra innings.

Junior Mark Materise was brought on in relief of Lapaglia after he went the full nine innings. The right-hander found trouble when Muskingum had a leadoff single to start the away half of the 11th inning. A wild pitch combined with a sacrifice bunt put the go-ahead Muskingum run on third base. A sacrifice fly would bring that run home, giving the visitors a 6-5 lead that could not be erased by JCU. Materise was charged with the loss and, drops to 0-2 on the year.

John Carroll had their revenge

in the second game of the double feature.

Senior Brandon Maddern tossed a gem from the starting bump. The big left-hander allowed just five base runners in 6 1/3 innings of work. He punched out eight batters and only gave up two runs.

The senior now has a 3.25 ERA on the year, including a team leading 65 strike outs.

Both teams were silent through the first three innings of the game.

It was not until senior Tyler Gentile put a crocked number on the Schweickert Field scoreboard with an RBI single.

Junior Patrick Scholla would contribute when he drew a walk with bases loaded to add onto the JCU lead. In the home half of the fifth inning, Gentile knocked in another RBI when he belted a double into the left-center field gap.

Jam packed weekend tests John Carroll’s depth Joe McCarthy Sports Editor

It was a 31 inning weekend for the John Carroll University softball squad.

A double header on Saturday, April 23 developed into a Sunday, April 24 afternoon feature that included 17 innings and one win for JCU. JCU dropped a two game stint with Muskingum University in a Saturday afternoon meeting with the Muskies in New Concord. But the immediate future was bright.

DePauw University made the trip to University Heights to represent the final non-conference game on the schedule for John Carroll, but the double header proved to be well worth the drive.

Game one was headed by starting pitcher, junior AnnMarie Kirchner. The right-hander threw seven scoreless innings in a game that required 10 to decide a winner.

Kirchner was supplied with run support early when junior Lauren Cianciolo hit her first homerun of the season over the right field wall.

through the first three innings. It was not until sophomore Lauren Godden hit a solo shot over the right center field wall to tie the game.

DePauw threatened again when they loaded the bases in the fifth inning. Kirchner got out of the jam with support from the cast in the field. Freshman short stop Lindsay McKnight made a tremendous play on a hard hit ball in the hole.

Kirchner and DePauw pitcher sophomore Emma Baldwin tossed a gem for their respective teams.

Both combined for just 14 hits and six runs through 10 innings of work.

In the extra frames, both teams traded runs in the ninth inning, setting up a dramatic finish.

Cianciolo was at the dish again with a runner of third base when she belted a line drive towards the wall in right center field. DePauw center fielder freshman Kat Panos made the spectacular play when she dove over the fence to make the catch and end the inning.

JCU dropped the first game 4-2.

Kirchner was charged the charged the loss and dropped to 7-5 on the year.

Game two would supply an important rebuttal from JCU. Freshman Jessica Cook got the starting nod for the second game, but her time in the circle was cut short. DePauw rattled a combined four runs across home plate through the first three innings.

The third inning is when JCU would jump back into contention.

The hosts registered three runs in the home half of the inning, cutting the DePauw lead to 4-3.

The five hit half inning for JCU was highlighted when Coleman hit a two out, two run RBI single down the left field line. Junior Angie Zappitelli would cap the inning with a base knock to left field, scoring Coleman from third base.

Zappitelli and Coleman were the two JCU batters to register two hits and two RBIs in the second game.

Sophomore Maggie Gannon would then grab the rally stick to solidify the come back victory.

With two runners on the base paths, Gannon took a chest high pitch on a ride when she belted a two run shot high over the left field wall. The shot capped off a four run inning for the hosts.

Junior Brianna Lach supplied three scoreless innings of work in the circle to secure the win in game two.

Both squads registered 11 hits in the second game. DePauw had troubles bringing the runners home as they stranded seven ducks on the pond.

With the split, John Carroll moves to 15-17 heading into the final games of the season. JCU will look to reach .500 when Marietta University makes the trip to Bracken Field for the season finale.

JCU extends winning streak to three Win moves JCU to third in conference John Alfes

Assistant Sports Editor

After losing to The University of Mount Union earlier in the month, the John Carroll University men’s lacrosse team has bounced back with a vengeance. The team won both of its games this week against Muskingum (Wednesday, April 20, 17-2) and Otterbein (Saturday, April 23, 14-7). With the victories, first-year head coach Chris Cooper and the Blue Streaks improved to 8-5, 4-1 OAC on the season and are currently in the midst of a three-game winning streak.

One of the team’s leaders this week was Declan O’Grady with four goals against the Muskies and one goal against the Cardinals. Other key contributors for the week included Collin Riley (five goals), RP Whitty (three goals) and Michael Hubert (three goals).

What was the key to JCU’s success this week? O’Grady took a few minutes out of his day to give his input on the team’s recent scoring surge.

“Our biggest key to success was the consistency of our play on both sides of the field, on both defense and offense we played fast, smart and consistent and that led to the big win over Muskingum. In the

coming weeks we need to continue forward with playing smart, fast and consistent and we will be very successful,” said O’Grady.

With only two games remaining on their schedule, the Blue Streaks are going to have to rely heavily on the upperclassmen represented on the 40-man roster, especially with the OAC tournament approaching.

“Leadership on this team is a little different than most. The team only has one senior, Jack MacLean, and he is a tremendous leader.

With that being said, as a junior and upperclassman, I am expected to give 100 percent effort and dedicate 100 percent of my time to be a leader and role model to the younger guys on the team. My play on the field lately has been a key factor in being a good leader,” commented O’Grady.

Currently, JCU is placed second on the OAC ladder trailing first-place Baldwin Wallace (13-1, 5-0 OAC) by only one game.

The Blue Streaks will have an incredible opportunity to take over the first place spot in the conference when they take on the Yellow Jackets this Wednesday, April 27 at Don Shula Stadium. The game is slated for a 7:00 p.m. start time and can be followed live through jcusports.com Editor’s Note: John Carroll now has a one game lead over Mount Union in the OAC.

The second half showcased a solid start for JCU. Vilsack and freshman Alexis Gauge provided scores within the opening minutes of the second half. Otterbein would provide resistance just 90 seconds later with two quick scores to tie the game.

In the final minutes of regulation time, JCU went on a 3-0 run to secure the victory.

This included goals from the usual suspects like Vilsack and McQuinn but also included a goal by senior Kaley LaForce, sealing the victory for JCU. Sophomore goal tender Caroline Smith would finish the game with nine saves after facing 19 shots from Otterbein.

It was a close match with JCU scoring six goals in each half while Otterbein scored five per half. However, Otterbein led the game in shots, ground balls and had less turnovers.

Pike county slaying kills eight family members Daniel May Staff Reporter

Eight people were found dead, shot execution style in Piketon, Ohio on Friday, April, 22. CNN reported that the bodies were found at four different locations. In a list of names released by Cleveland.com, all of the victims were a part of the Rhoden family, ranging from a 44-year-old man to a 16-year-old boy. ABC News reported that three survivors were found, none older than three and one born four days before the shooting. None of the deaths have been ruled suicides.

On the 911 calls released, a woman said during the call, “I think my brother-in-law is dead...there’s blood all over the house,” according to USA Today. After finding her brother-in-law’s body with her cousin’s, she continued, “I think they are both dead.”

She said, sobbing. “It looks like some[one] beat the crap out of them, and I came in and they were laying on the floor.” Another 911 caller said “I just found my cousin with a gunshot wound.”

Trump sweeps five states, Clinton takes four Ryan Brown

World News Editor

Businessman Donald Trump scored another demanding victory in five different state primaries on Tuesday, April 26. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also had a strong night with four wins in states Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland.

The states that voted were Delaware, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Maryland. Trump was polling very well in all of the states with primaries on April 26, so his victories do not come as a huge surprise. However, Trump did not just win those states; he won them by a very large margin.

The so-called “Never Trump” movement has prompted Senator Ted Cruz and Ohio Governor John Kasich to team up to stop Trump on his path to the nomination. Kasich has pulled all of his resources out of the state of Indiana in order to give Cruz a better chance of winning the state and keeping delegates from going to Trump, according to The New York Times.

Hillary Clinton on the other hand did very well with her four wins of the night. Clinton only needs a few hundred more delegates to secure the Democratic

During Trump’s victory speech, he declared himself the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee, “I consider myself the presumptive nominee, absolutely. If you look. Honestly, Sen. Cruz and Gov. Kasich should really get out of the race.

They have no path to victory at all. … We should heal the Republican Party, bring the Republican Party together. And I’m a unifier,” The Washington Post reported.

Trump is also close to securing the Republican nomination on the first ballot, meaning getting 1237 delegates before the convention, according to NBC. However, Trump’s road will be much harder because of the anti-Trump movement trying to stop Trump from getting the nomination.

World News Officials charged in water crisis

Assistant Op/Ed Editor

Two state officials and a local official have been brought up on charges in the face of the water crisis in Flint, Mich., according to CNN. Water treatment plant employee Mike Glasgow and Michigan Department of Enviromental Quality workers, Stephen Busch and Mike Prysby, could all face prison time if they are convicted of the charges they face.

The accusations are that these men mislead officials and tampered with findings in order to make the tests seem more favorable and the water safer to consume.

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder has condemned the convictions and maintains that there was no criminal wrongdoing. Due process, he says, will show if anyone did in fact act criminally.

Flint, Mich. has been in the national news as it faces a water crisis. For two years, residents had complained about the quality of the water that was pulled from the Flint River, but with little success. It was not until earlier this year, according to ABC News, that a state of emergency in Flint was declared and federal officials became involved.

Throughout 2014 and 2015, Flint and Michigan officials conducted tests and insisted that their water was safe, citing their findings and ignoring or condemning tests and evidence to the contrary. ABC News reported that investigations have produced evidence implicating both Flint and Michigan officials as responsible for the failure

of the safety of the residents of Flint and the failure to accurately gauge the contamination of the water supply.

The BBC reports that the switch to use the Flint River as the city’s water supply was intended to cut costs. However the human cost has become extreme.

Officials assured Flint residents that the water was safe for human consumption, even while a local General Motors plant stopped using the water to clean their parts because it was too corrosive.

The corrosiveness of the water is in and of itself an issue, but adding to that is the fact that the corrosive water ate away at the water pipes, adding lead contaminants to the water. The BBC reports that this lead contamination can lead to defects in children, as well as physiological issues.

It is suspected that the contaminated

water is also to blame for the outbreak of Legionaries disease and other serious health issues plaguing the Flint area.

The officials blamed, including the mayor and the governor, stand by their decisions, and have vowed to drink Flint water for 30 days to add further testament to their findings.

In another development coming out of Flint, a woman who was among the first to file a lawsuit in regards to the water crisis was shot and killed, according to MLive. She was one of two people who died in the shooting. The police have not found the killer and no charges have been filed. They also do not know if the killing was in connection to the Flint water crisis.

Obama goes to Saudi Arabia, meets with officials Mercedes Lewis The Carroll News

President Barack Obama traveled to Saudi Arabia to hold a meeting with King Salman Riyadh on Wednesday, April 20.

With the growing tension between the United States and Saudi Arabia, this trip was timely. This tension stems from Saudi opposition to American outreach to Iran and the correspondence with Syria.

Obama was greeted by Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the governor of Riyadh on a red carpet arriving off of Air Force One. With a translator, Salman spoke to Obama at the king’s Erga Palace. The two leaders smiled and interacted with one another politely as they took photos prior to their one-one-one meeting.

According to U.S. News, Salman told Obama, “The feeling is mutual between us and the American people.”

Obama was in Saudi Arabia as a part of The Persian Gulf Summit along with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain. The purpose of this regional summit was to focus on regional stability and counterterrorism.

According to U.S. News, the summit was also scheduled to address the fight against Al-Qaida, the military campaign against Shiite rebels as well as their Yemen allies and the Islamic State.

U.S. officials are hopeful that this meeting will expand upon last year’s summit, while still acknowledging the tension that wanes between the United States and Saudi Arabia. Obama’s remarks suggest that Saudi Arabia is upset with the cooperation between the United States and Iran.

Ryan’s Report

Ryan Brown

World News Editor

Trump: media made In 20 years, this election is going to be studied by political scientists. In their research, they are going to figure out how and why the Donald Trump phenomenon happened. There are a few things we already know. We know that people are angry and they are flocking to Donald Trump because he is telling them what they want to hear. At this point that is very clear and everybody knows that’s one of the reasons for Trump’s success. But what people might not realize, is that how the media is handling this election is a huge factor into Trump’s success as well.

There are many articles every year about the amount of airtime each candidate gets and that definitely plays a role in a candidate’s success.

But people have already written about that so that’s not what I will focus on. I want to focus on what the media is covering.

One of the latest headlines coming from the news agency The Hill was this: “Trump coins nickname for Kasich.” That, ladies and gentlemen, is not news. The next one is “Ex-WWE chief: Cruz and Kasich tandem is ‘collusion.’” Again, not news! No one should care what the ex-World Wrestling Entertainment chief has to say about the Cruz/ Kasich agreement. The fact that Trump’s nicknames for people gets more press than his utter lack of competence and knowledge about foreign affairs is astounding.

Why do we think he’s winning? It’s because the media isn’t educating the people anymore.

The media is doing exactly what Trump is doing, they are telling people what they want to hear. The people hear Trump making these nicknames and jokes and think, “I like that.

He’s not a typical politician.” I’ll tell you another reason he’s not a typical politician that the media isn’t doing a very good job of, he doesn’t know anything about policy besides building a wall. It is up to the media to educate people about each candidate. You can’t learn about a candidate if all you hear is what he called his opponents.

Trump would not be at the top of every poll if the media didn’t report on every single insult and dumb thing he said. They reported on the insults more than his actual policy positions.

The media has turned a presidential election into a reality TV show because it’s good for business. If you don’t believe me, just ask Les Moonves who runs CBS. When commenting on the election he said, “It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS.” If that is not proof enough that there needs to be changes in the way elections are covered I don’t know what is. And by the way, I bet you didn’t read about that in the news or see it on TV because it’s not just CBS that’s profiting off of Trump, it’s all the other news networks.

Let me be clear. I’m a good conservative.

I love capitalism as much as the next guy, but not when it puts the country’s future in such peril by only showing dumb things a rich guy said in a speech.

I also realize that you are reading this from a newspaper or on The Carroll News website so it might seem a little hypocritical. I can promise you it is not. We have done our best in the World News section to report only real news, not a funny nickname an orange man gave another candidate.

The economy in 1973 was still considered a part of the end of America’s golden age, which was a time of large economic growth combined with low unemployment and inflation. America’s “golden age” began during the 1940’s after the Great Depression ended.

In fact, American unemployment was so low that the country hasn’t been able to experience such a low rate since then–until now.

The Situation Report, which is issued at the beginning of every month, dictates how many people have filed for unemployment benefits and initial jobless claims the month prior.

On April 1, it reported low unemployment rates at comparative levels of those during 1973.

The report stated that initial claims fell by approximately 6,000 to 247,000.

While this may sound like a lot of people, it really isn’t once you consider the approximate 318.9 million people who live in the U.S. Initial claims refer to the amount of new people that file for unemployment benefits.

These first-time claims have remained below 300,000 for a consecutive 59 weeks. This phenomenon has also not occurred since 1973.

The total number of those unemployed fell by 39,000 to approximately 2.14 million. It is important to understand that the 2.14 million people not working includes children, the elderly and the disabled who are not capable of working.

In the Situation Report released on April 1, it was estimated that the labor force participation rate is at 63 percent.

This means that 63 percent of all persons capable of working, are working to some extent.

While these indicators seem to show good news for the U.S., it doesn’t mean that everything will continue to go well.

For example, in 1974, America’s golden age ended when the price of oil spiked, and inflation grew to an alarming 10 percent.

It would be nice to say that America is re-entering its golden age. However, without the same repeated economic success that occurred between the 1940s and early 1970s, all that can be determined is that America is in an age of uncertainty. .

U.S. currency to display new faces Associated Press Harriet Tubman, an African-American abolitionist who was born a slave, will stand with George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Franklin among the iconic faces of U.S. currency.

The $20 bill will be redesigned with Tubman’s portrait on the front, marking two historic milestones, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew announced Wednesday. Tubman will become the first African-American on U.S. paper money and the first woman to be depicted on currency in 100 years.

The leader of the Underground Railroad will replace the portrait of Andrew Jackson, the nation’s seventh president and a slave owner, who will be pushed to the back of the bill.

Lew also settled a backlash that had erupted after he had announced an initial plan to remove Alexander Hamilton, the nation’s first Treasury secretary, from the $10 bill in order to honor a woman on the bill.

Hamilton will remain on the $10 note, Lew said. Instead, the Treasury building on the back of the bill will be changed to commemorate a 1913 march that ended on the steps of the Treasury building.

It will also feature suffragette leaders Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Alice Paul.

The back of the $20, which now shows the White House, will be redesigned to include the White House and Jackson, whose statute stands across the street in Lafayette Park.

The $5 bill will also undergo change: The illustration of the Lincoln Memorial on the back will be redesigned to honor “events at the Lincoln Memorial that helped to shape our history and our democracy.”

The new image on the $5 bill will include civil rights leader Martin Lu-

ther King Jr., who gave his famous “I have a dream” speech on the steps of the memorial in 1963 and Marian Anderson and Eleanor Roosevelt.

Anderson, an African-American opera singer, gave a concert at the memorial in 1939 after she had been blocked from singing at the then-segregated Constitution Hall. The Lincoln Memorial concert was arranged by Mrs. Roosevelt.

Lew didn’t go that far Wednesday. But he pledged that at least the designs for all three bills will be accelerated so they’ll be finished by 2020 — the 100th anniversary of passage of the 19th amendment giving women the right to vote.

He said the new notes will go into circulation as fast as possible after that, consistent with the need to incorporate new anti-counterfeiting measures in the designs.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen, the first woman to head the central bank, said she welcomed the decision to honor the achievements of women in American history.

She said the Fed would work closely with Treasury to get the new bills developed and into circulation.

U.S. currency has undergone upgrades over the years to stay ahead of counterfeiters. But the updates proposed by Lew for the three bills would be the most sweeping changes since 1929, when all U.S. paper money was redesigned to feature more standard designs and a smaller size to save printing costs.

Lew had initially selected the $10 bill to feature a woman because under the original timetable it was the next bill to be redesigned. But that proposal met fierce objections from supporters of Hamilton, who is enjoying renewed popular interest with the smash Broadway hit musical “Hamilton.”

Tubman, who was born into slavery in the early part of the 19th century, escaped and then used the network of anti-slavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad to transport other slaves to freedom. After the Civil War, Tubman, who died in 1913, became active in the campaign for women’s suffrage.

Numerous groups have been campaigning to have a woman honored on the nation’s paper currency, which has been an all-male domain for more than a century.

Secretary Jacob Lew announced April 24, 2016 that Tubman will be on the $20 bill, making her the first woman on U.S. paper currency in 100 years.

U.S. exports oil to Europe after forty-year ban Nicole Spindler

Nicole Spindler

Business & Finance Editor

AP

Oil drilling companies from the Texas Panhandle to New Mexico’s stretch of the Permian Basin are targeting foreign oil imports to increase competition.

Texas by more than 40 percent to 575,000 barrels a day, Bloomberg reported.

Corpus Christi is also home to other energy companies that want to export. At its peak in August 2014, the port shipped out more than 750,000 barrels a day, mostly to U.S. or Canadian refineries, according to Housley Carr, an analyst with RBN Energy LLC in Houston.

The oil being shipped abroad after the lifting of the ban is light, sweet crude, which is pricier than the heavy crude U.S. refiners are equipped to process. This is a better fit for other refiners, according to The Wall Street Journal.

As demand rises enough to push crude prices higher, foreign buyers may come to rely on the U.S. to export as much as two million barrels of oil every day within the next five years, according to The New York Times.

Reaching that level of exports, which amounts to more than 20 percent of current U.S. oil production, would require many new pipelines and oil terminals.

As with most new markets, the flow of American oil abroad is expected to start with a trickle and then steadily rise. The current price of foreign crude is not much higher than what a barrel of U.S. oil costs, making shipping abroad appear expensive to many buyers, Bloomberg reported.

Oil pumped in producing countries from Norway to Nigeria is similar to the crude oil flowing out of Texas, but those countries are closer to Europe and Asia, making their shipments more attractive to buyers nearest to them.

However, a massive expansion of the Panama Canal, scheduled to be complete later this decade, will allow much larger ships to pass through, according to NBS News.

This expansion has the potential to open up new trade routes between the Gulf of Mexico and Asia.

Boler School ranks among Bloomberg’s top business schools in America Jackie Witwicki The Carroll News

In Bloomberg’s recent 2016 Business School Rankings, John Carroll University’s Boler School of Business has been named number 30 in top business schools and ranked number 1 in the nation in student prepareness for employment.

Bloomberg has been compiling lists of top business schools in order to guide the selection process of incoming freshmen since 2006.

Bloomberg Businessweek surveyed nearly 30,000 students and the recruiters for almost 600 companies. The employer survey measures recruiter opinions on how well undergraduate programs prepare students for careers at their companies.

This score is a composite of responses from employer surveys. It starts with an analysis from individuals who hire recent business school graduates (weighed at 40 percent of the total score).

Then, there are student survey responses, in regards to how well students feel the school prepared them for a career in business (35 percent of the total), starting salary (15 percent of the total) and the number of students who complete an internship at some point during their undergraduate career (10 percent of the total).

In regards to more specific nationwide categories, John Carroll University placed first in employer surveys, 95 in student surveys, 95 in starting salaries and 45 in internship completions.

The ink is barely dry on legislation to lift a forty-year old ban on exporting U.S. crude oil and American energy companies are already racing to ship it overseas.

U.S. oil sales to foreign buyers have been quick to start after President Obama signed a bill that abolished the crude export ban less than a month ago.

Two tankers filled with freely-traded U.S. oil have pulled out of Texas ports in the past two weeks, with more shipments expected in weeks to come, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The first American oil sales abroad are flowing to Europe. Eventually, Latin America and Asia could become natural markets, according to industry experts at Bloomberg.

The first freely traded cargo of U.S. oil was shipped from Corpus Christi, Texas, on New Year’s Eve, 2015. ConocoPhillips pumped the oil from around Karnes County, 60 miles south of San Antonio.

From there, it will travel about 5,000 miles to Bavaria in Germany. Another cargo of U.S. oil shipped from Enterprise’s Houston terminal at the start of the year is sailing to Marseilles, France. From there, it will move by pipeline to a refinery in Switzerland, according to The New York Times.

Big energy infrastructure companies, including Plains All American Pipeline LP and Enterprise Product Partners LP, have spent the past five years pouring billions of dollars into building new pipelines, oil storage tanks and dock space at ports. These will be paid off once they race to ship abroad.

During the drilling boom, infrastructure companies reworked the country’s pipeline network so that American crude oil could move from inland shale fields in west Texas and North Dakota to the coasts where most refineries are located.

Corpus Christi has plans for the next two months to boost their oil-loading capacity in

is made even more impressive when compared to the rankings of other universities.

Most notably are JCU’s ranking above Lehigh University (number 32 in overall rankings).

When comparing John Carroll to local business schools, Boler also ranked higher than Case Western’s program.

Going beyond the state of Ohio, John Carroll additionally ranked higher than University of Pittsburgh’s business school as well as Duquesne University’s program, reported Bloomberg.

Laura Atkins, Dean of the Boler School, said, “It’s an awesome achievement that reflects all of the hard work and dedication of the Boler faculty, students and staff.”

Additionally, according to Bloomberg’s study, 70.2 percent of John Carroll students who have undergraduate internships are offered long term employment at their internship location and choose to stay.

As Boler has a relatively high internship rating, this accounts for a large percentage of the business school’s student body. This trend is both good and bad for Boler’s students as well as its overall ranking.

Despite the disparity between employer satisfaction and starting salary, JCU can still count this national ranking as an improvement. Last year, Boler ranked number 77 in the same report.

John Carroll University’s Boler School of Business was recently named number 30 in the top business schools in American by Bloomberg.

People use GPS (Global Positioning System) today to guide airplanes, ships and tractors. It keeps tabs on sex offenders and helps find oil deposits. It helps travelers going on road trips to know what exit to take on the highway, how long the traffic back-up is, or what other routes to take.

GPS devices survey land and help build bridges and tunnels. GPS knows when the earth deforms; it senses the movement of tectonic plates down to less than a millimeter. GPS can tell you how long until your Uber arrives or where to find friends nearest to your location.

In the past two decades, GPS has become one of the 21st century’s most important technologies, allowing us to overcome obstacles and achieve our goals and desired destinations.

However, there are still cultural stumbling blocks in regards to GPS. The U.S. Air Force invented this system in the early 1990s, but the use of brass resulted in a decline in their funds, since they did not see the need for another navigation tool.

Once GPS’s value became clear, the Pentagon attempted to keep the most accurate version private. The first commercial GPS companies focused on designing devices to the exacting standards of the military.

Companies such as Magellan and Garmin came to dominate the market, making billionaires of their founders by selling cheaper devices whose diminished accuracy was perfectly satisfactory for people not launching missiles.

Eventually, private sector engineers found ways around selective availability and the military’s jamming was abandoned.

Nowadays, every smartphone is a GPS device; it is equipped in the chip design, allowing us to carry around powerful computers in our pockets.

It is the 24 hour GPS satellites circling the planet that make us take them out and use them.

However, Bloomberg conducted a recent study that suggests there is now a price with regards to having a tracking device constantly with us. Part of that price is the ease with which we can now be located and tracked.However, there is another cost.

Several hundred years ago, ancient navigators and sailors like Ferdinand Magellan and Christopher Columbus figured out how to cross thousands of miles of open ocean in outrigger canoes, guided only by the stars and the currents.

Today, however, people blindly follow their turn-by-turn instructions into lakes or drive miles before they realize they mistyped the name of their dinner destination.

Through studies that economists have worked on, Bloomberg reports by citing some suggestive psychological research, that our reliance on the technology may be altering the structure of our brains.

Technology over the past few decades has provided our society with extraordinary benefits that has established improvements across the board from being able to FaceTime or Skype loved ones to emailing professors, employers or family in just under a few seconds.

Although technology has its benefits, it is vital to be careful with over-utilizing them, especially for the “Me-generation” which the vast majority of teenagers, college students and young adults are currently in.

Top-down social justice

John Carroll likes to think of itself as an institution that works for social justice. The University’s student body goes to great lengths to ensure that their reputation as “men and women for and with others” is well-deserved. One social justice issue that some in the John Carroll community are particularly concerned with is the alarmingly high rate of recidivism (i.e. the reconviction of former criminals to prison) in the United States.

Many John Carroll students have done their share to help this problem by spending time with individuals at risk of incarceration. Some work with the community to prevent potential inmates, like the Carroll Ballers. Some work with former inmates, like those who volunteer each week at the North Star Rehabilitation Center. But some John Carroll and Cleveland State University students are focusing on the bigger picture– why are there so many incarcerations to begin with?

Last week Krystal Milam, a John Carroll student, went to Washington to meet with U.S. Representative for Ohio’s 11th district Marcia Fudge with a specific goal in mind: to persuade Fudge to take action handled. Milam is a member of an advocacy program named Friend’s Committee on National Legislation (FCNL), which is a non-profit organization located in Washington, D.C. She and the FCNL are lobbying for Fudge to sign several bills, including the Recidivism Risk Reduction Act. The Carroll News applauds the initiative of Krystal Milam and the rest of the students who participate in the FCLN. While the University’s current dedication and activity within the community is no doubt making major contributions to solving societal injustices, The Carroll News would like to commend politically-minded students who try to find top-down solutions to our community’s issues.

In order to resolve issues of social justice, there need to be activ-

Orthodoxy in the East

Johnathan Desrosiers

Assistant Editorial & Op/Ed Editor

Friends, Roman Catholics, countrymen, lend me your eyes! Pope Francis has stirred up many around the world with his comments on different subjects.

People have been quick to claim that Pope Francis has liberalized the Catholic Church and, in their eyes, softened the austere and non-inclusive stances of the Church.

This isn’t quite true, as he is merely restating the Church’s teachings and hasn’t changed much the holy doctrine at all–rather, he is shifting the focus of the Church. After all, we love the sinner but hate the sin, no matter what. People hang on Pope Francis’ every word and are eager to implement his “new” ideas.

The reason I bring this up is because Pope Francis said something that I think has been sadly overlooked. Pope Francis spoke of the “light of the East,” in the Eastern Rite Churches (be they Eastern Orthodox in schism with the Roman Church or Eastern Catholicism in full union with Rome). They have, in his

words, a deep reverence and emphasis captivated me—to name a few, chanton God, the liturgy and adoration that ing is done throughout the liturgy, and may be overlooked in the West. Pope chanted psalms are also used in lieu of Francis additionally notes that in the hymns, many of which were of ProtesWest, there is too great an emphasis on tant origin to begin with. Incense is used “consumerism and well-being” that he with great gusto in the Eastern Church. feels has done great harm to the Church.

McGowan’s Manifesto:

Mary Frances McGowan Editor-in-Chief

There are seldom pet-peeves that are more pronounced in my life than people who don’t honor their past.

I’m a bit of Nietzsche fan (please don’t stop reading), and in his work, he talks a lot about your past being a constant part of your present. Although I am probably murdering this interpretation because the philosopher’s insights are often blindingly confusing, he believes that in order to obtain redemption from your past, you must change your thinking from “it was” to “I willed it thus.”

You’re neither accepting nor denying the events that shaped you, but instead, staring it dead in the eyes and taking complete ownership of the good, the bad and the ugly. You’re embracing “as-is-ness” of the past.

Say, for instance, you’ve planned a trip overseas despite the fact that flying terrifies you. At first, your mind races with the possibility of having a panic attack on the plane and the potential of hating the country you’re traveling to scares you. According to Nietzsche, you’re going to neither renounce the reality as someone’s else’s decision or mark it with acceptance. Instead, you’ll realize that “you willed it thus.”

You bought the plane tickets. You decided to fly overseas. Even if you end of having an awful time, there is no room for regret in a past that you took ownership of.

I am not really sure why, but I find this mindset very comforting.

Although it could be very challenging in times of intense grief and hardship, there’s something liberating about Nietzsche in this instance. Granted, I’ve always had an affection for fairly odd fields of thought. Being obsessed with Buddhist detachment made me very few (normal) friends freshman year, but I digress.

So where did this odd philo-

I willed it thus sophical tangent stem from, you ask?

Facebook.

Monday morning, I received a “friend request” from a girl (now woman) I have known since preschool. My memories of her include summer afternoons spent hunting for bugs and finger painting in the suburbs of Cleveland, catching fireflies until dusk, and basking in the glory of all things beautiful about being a kid.

Throughout our childhood, she was unwaveringly humble, loved her family and maintained a love of her hometown, something that’s very important to me. Despite going to different high schools, from what I could tell, she maintained her “no-fuss” persona.

As my eyes glossed across her profile, I was taken aback by how drastically she had changed. She recently moved to New York City to pursue art, something that at its base is very courageous. But as I looked closer, she had changed her hometown to “New York City,” erased all traces of her past, both good and bad, changed her name to its formal version (a name she used to make fun of) and replaced the warm smile that lit of her face with a stern, mean-mugging picture of her against a blank wall in Brooklyn.

I’m not sure why, but this hurt me.

Was your former Cleveland self not good enough for the big, bad New York woman you want to become? If I still live in the place you called home and love my hometown with my whole heart, does that make me less accomplished than you? Do you really expect people to believe that you’ve been sporting American Apparel crop tops, embraced veganism and mastered the art of hipsterdom by the age of eight? You’re not fooling me.

I know that this all may seem petty, but if there is one thing that I believe, it’s that it is a crime to forget where you came from because you lose your footing. Regardless of where my life takes me, I will always take ownership of my past and make it a part of my present. My dear friend, if you ever glance up from your soy lattes and tumblr account, take a page from Nietzsche’s book.

How C.C. sees it: The woman I want to be

Carly Cundiff Managing Editor

I am not the woman that you can see in old movies from the 50s and 60s. I am also not the woman that the feminist in me says I should strive to be. Let me explain.

I will never be a housewife.

When I picture my life in 10 or 15 years, I cannot see a woman who stays home, cooks, cleans and takes care of the children. I don’t see a woman who greets her husband when he gets home from work with a kiss on the cheek and a casserole on the table.

It’s totally okay if that is the future you want. I just don’t see myself being that kind of

woman.

For one, I only enjoy cooking on rare occasions, and I would be an absolutely awful housekeeper, simply because I am one of the messiest and most cluttered people you could ever meet. I want to have children someday, but I don’t think I would be fulfilled by making them my full-time job.

I a l s o d o n ’t s e e a f u t u r e where I am a high-powered, influential woman. This is the type of person that my inner f em i ni s t pus hes m e t o be. I should be a woman working in New York City who makes just as much money as her husband and sees the kids when she gets home from work. I should wear power suits and be an eloquent speaker, working my way up the corporate ladder and one day running the company.

Again, it is great if you see yourself this way in the future, but I can’t.

One problem with these two scenarios is that, according to a

lot of people, women can only be these two things. These are the two spheres that woman are so often thrown into. You are either a housewife, content to stay at home and take care of the kids, or you are a powerhouse stepping on others with your stiletto heel.

Why isn’t there a middle ground?

A couple years back, my mother and I had a serious conversation. At this time, I wanted to be a journalist living in Washington D.C. As I was discussing this with my mother, she suddenly got very sullen, and asked me the most adult question that I had ever been asked.

“Carly, what about having a family?”

This question made me stop in my tracks. And at the time, I was perfectly comfortable stating that I wanted a career, and if that meant not having a family, then I was okay with it.

As I got older and the future

became clearer, I realized that I wasn’t okay with that.

The only future I saw had a husband and kids in it. But I don’t want to be a stay at home mom and have my family define me.

So what do I do?

Society tells me to do one or the other, but neither are perfect options. If I am a stay at home mom, I am lazy and unemployed. If I have kids and a job too, then I am neglectful of my children and my husband.

If I don’t have kids and instead devote myself to a career, then I am power hungry.

There is no way to win in this scenario.

The thing is, men don’t usually get this type of scrutiny when it comes to their relationship with their occupation and their families. If they work full time, then they are providers.

If they chose to not have kids, then they are focusing on their careers. T h e o n ly tim e th e y receive a little bit of flack is in

the case of stay at home dads, but that small group of men is receiving more praise than hate as of late.

I don’t care what you do with your lives. In my opinion, as long as you are happy, that is all I can ask for.

It took me a bit to figure out what my priorities are in life. I started to picture what my life would look like in several different scenarios, and none of them felt perfect.

I cannot picture my future without kids. I can, however, picture my life without being a journalist. So this is how I have decided to live my life.

We need to figure out how to stop labeling women in general, but particularly when it comes to what they want to do with their lives. It is 2016, for goodness sake, yet we are still defining a woman in regards to her familial relationships.

Saluan’s Scribbles: Through the looking glass

Noelle Saluan Editorial & Op/Ed Editor

As individuals, we are deeply influenced by what mass media deems as acceptable and unacceptable, whether it be dietary trends, fashion do’s and don’ts or body image goals. According to the National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA), body image is defined as how you perceive yourself when you look in the mirror, how you feel about your body and how you feel in your body. However, the manner in which you choose to view your body image can be perceived as positive or negative.

A positive body image means that an individual has a clear and true perception of their shape and appreciates and values their body in a comfortable and confident manner. On the contrary, a negative body image deals with a distorted perception of an individual’s body, accompanied with being overly self-conscious, ashamed and uncomfortable with their body type.

Essentially, mass media has a strong influence, both positively and negatively, on how individuals perceive their body image based upon the content published in magazines, social media platforms and television.

Various forms of mass media clearly communicate a standard for an ideal body image: thinness, perfect straight white teeth, shiny luscious hair and essentially being “flawless.” However, as most individuals are aware, these expectations are usually unattainable and wholly unrealistic. According to livestrong.com, 80 percent of women are made insecure by images they see of women on television and more than 66 percent of women are influenced by underweight models in magazines. Both men and women have a tendency to compare themselves to others which is referred to as social comparison theory.

Social media has grown to become an obsession for some individuals who are constantly concerned with editing thier photos to look like their ‘best self’ as opposed to their ‘true self.’

Individuals have become infatuated with the prospect of appearing perfect to the outside world through the lens of social media outlets. Heartbreakingly,

the intense need for some individuals to appear ‘perfect’ to society will eventually take a toll on them in the worst way possible.

However, just as mass media can have a rather negative impact on the perception of one’s body image, it can also bring to light the aspect of a positive body image.

Lately, there have been numerous campaigns in regards to body positivity and acceptance. Various social media platforms and magazines have reached out to the general public seeking a change in how media perceives the average individual for the better.

Recently, there have been numerous debates about the art form of Photoshop and the outlook it communicates to its audience.

However, Aerie has chosen to take that art form and shatter it in hope of creating a body positive image for young girls and women, In the spring of 2014,Aerie launched their campaign cleverly named #AerieREAL in which they featured non-photoshopped models in hopes of challenging supermodel standards by featuring unretouched models in their latest collection of apparel. This campaign generated a lot of buzz within the realm of mass media; a woman’s confidence in her body can be severely influenced by what they see in the media, especially with a company as Aerie whose demographics are aimed at young women between the ages of 15-21.

Going along with the trend of body positivity, #AerieREAL has just announced their new face for their campaign: Iskra Lawrence, a 25-year-old plus sized model and advocate for the National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA). Lawrence will appear nationwide in Aerie stores located in or near college towns to talk about the importance of body positivity and what it really means to be beautiful. In a recent emotional interview she says, “I wanted to be a part of the campaign so much,” she says. “I got told I wasn’t good enough, and I could never make it.

And then Aerie told me I was beautiful because I was me. You don’t need to be retouched. The real you is beautiful.”

The effects mass media have on society can greatly influence individuals, both negatively and positively, in regards to body image and how we perceive ourselves. Personally, I think we can all learn a valuable lesson from campaigns from companies such as Aerie for body positivity.

In a perfect world, body confidence would be celebrated and not shamed.

In the great words of Erin Heatherton, “Healthy body image is not something that you’re going to learn from fashion magazines.”

Ben Gebhardt Editorial & Op/Ed Editor Like many students at John Carroll (and in just about every university nationwide), I love learning foreign languages.

I mean I love it fiercely. I can’t get enough. I have minors in Spanish and French, and this year, I started taking classes in Arabic. If I could, I would study every language that the Department of Classical and Modern Languages and Cultures offers.

My attraction to them is twofold; the practical application of having learned another language is fairly selfevident—all employers love a job candidate that can represent their interests and extend their presence into diverse markets. More languages means a wider consumer spectrum, and a wider consumer spectrum means a larger profit—this is not a foreign concept to anybody, and it is the driving force behind most students’ efforts to learn new dialects.

But the second value of learning another language is more in the interest of an individual’s ability to get the most out of their “human experience,” for lack of a better term. Speaking the tongue of another culture allows you to immerse yourself in other societies in such a way that is otherwise unattainable, allowsing you to examine the world around you

A letter to the Editor “I am going to kill myself.” Nothing infuriates me more than hearing this phrase thrown around like a joke.

As much as I want to be upset with the people who say things like this, I cannot.

I don’t blame them, rather, I blame the stigma about mental health. Words such as suicide, depression, bulimia, anorexia, self-harm, bi-polar and many others, are words that are not uttered in open air.

The question I wish to ask is not “why”, I know why these words are not spoken and why these topics are not discussed. The questions I wish to ask is “when.” When will these words and topics be deemed as acceptable.

While JCU makes an attempt to bring the discussion of mental health to campus, it does not do enough. The facts are overwhelming.

According to Active Minds, an organization that is dedicated to changing the conversation about mental health, suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students, claiming the lives of 1,100 students each

in a variety of different lenses.

For instance, learning the complicated series of German adjectives and emotions that simply don’t have exact counterparts in English may help you get a refined sense of self, being able to speak Italian proficiently may make your semester abroad all the more educational (as you could literally “do as the Romans do”) and conversely, for non-English speakers, becoming an Anglophone will surely allow you to truly grasp the frustratingly-untranslatable beauty of a Shakespearian play, etc.

Right– now all of the positives of language learning established. But what about actually being able to speak them?

Mastering a language is difficult, especially for Americans. I am forever envious of Europeans and their continent that squeezes dozens of foreign languages and nationalities into a relatively small geographic space. One can drive from Paris to Bratislava, traversing four countries and four linguistic populations in relatively the same amount of time as driving from Cleveland to Lincoln, Nebraska (a monotonously monolingual journey).

Thanks to their proximity to diverse cultures, The Guardian reports that over half of all Europeans are conversational in at least two languages.

Language lovers in the American Midwest have no such luxury, though.

Our exposure to other languages (and the immediate necessity to speak them) is miniscule—we have Quebec way up in the Northeast and Mexico far to the Southwest. Each lie hundreds of miles away and are not easily accessible. We are in somewhat of a language landlock, andAmericans generally don’t take their study of second languages too serious-

ly-- only one percent of Americans are proficient in a foreign language that they learned in a classroom, according to the Atlantic.

But luckily for Midwestern languaphiles, there is an easy way to attain that level of fluency that is often thought impossible without an extended stay abroad—it works for me, and I think it would behoove any other dedicated language learner to at least give it a go.

I try to get my daily news delivered to me in my target languages— both in print and via podcast. To keep up on my French, I try to read an article per day from Le Monde online and I listen to RFI’s “Journal en Français Facile,” a daily podcast that is intended for an audience that speaks French as a second language.

For each broadcast of “Journal en Français Facile,” there is an accompanying transcript that is available free of charge on their website, which helps you better understand a segment that was hard to catch at first. For Spanish, I have the same routine, but with El País and the RFI Spanish podcast.

For me, this strategy offers multifarious benefits—I get to read and listen to the foreign languages I study, and I stay up to date on world news.

They have helped me sharpen my skills in Spanish and French, and I think that they (especially the podcasts) are a bit underrated. Language learners in this region of the world have a lot of resources available to them that can help them reach fluency—they just have to seek them out.

year: even more alarming, 8090 percent of college students who die by suicide were not receiving help from their college counseling centers.

I am not alone when I say that these statistics are worrisome. After experiencing firsthand the destruction that mental illness can produce, my impression of mental health changed.

However, it was not until after my recovery that I felt comfortable enough to speak up about my mental health.

During my battle with mental illness, I never believed that I could speak openly about my problems.

How could I when I constantly would hear things such as, “She was so boring, I just wanted to take a gun to my head” or “I have so much to do that I should probably just go kill myself.” Not only did these comments keep me from talking about my mental health, but they also deterred me from getting help.

How many other students are silently suffering, concealing their pain? Mental health is often not seen as an actual health issue, an issue that needs treatment or medication.

Since opening up about my

mental health issues, I have learned that so many other people are suffering as well.

It’s amazing what happens when you give the topic of mental health a chance to form a conversation.

The person sitting next to you in class hides their eating disorder. That professor who teaches your favorite class hides their depression. The kid down the hall hides their self-harm tendencies. If you think people like this do not exist on our campus, then you are living in pure ignorance.

John Carroll has begun to make efforts in the field of mental health, and for that I applaud them. But there is more work that needs to be done.

Mental health as a taboo topic needs to end. Classes about different mental illnesses should be offered.

Regular training of staff members as well as students should be a requirement.

Perhaps even a mandatory mental health survey should be distributed to all students just to check in and see how they are doing. The possibilities are endless.
