John Day steps down as provost and academic vice president Ryllie Danylko Managing Editor

On Friday, Oct. 11, the Rev. Robert Niehoff, S.J. announced via a University-wide email to the John Carroll University community that John T. Day, provost and academic vice president, is stepping down from that position. However, this is not goodbye for Day, who will take a year of leave and then return to JCU as a full-time tenured professor in the English department. Day will maintain his current position until the end of the spring 2014 semester.

Day’s educational pursuits are rooted in the Jesuit tradition. He attended a Jesuit university, College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass., as an undergraduate. He went on to attend Harvard University, where he received a doctorate in English and American literature. After getting his Ph.D., he accepted a tenure track position at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minn., where he eventually became an associate dean. After 23 years there, he took a post at Roanoke College in Salem, Va., as dean and academic vice president. Six years later, in 2008, he arrived at JCU and became the academic vice president, and then became provost in 2011.

Day said what drew him to JCU was “the opportunity to return to a Jesuit and Catholic institution, like Holy Cross where I had done my undergraduate work.”

As academic vice president, Day has been responsible for academic programs and supervising the faculty and curriculum.

He works closely with Karen

The Information Technology Services department used to provide color printing for John Carroll University students at a price, but now the program is much more beneficial and cost-efficient. Color printing was previously available through the Center for Digital Media and the Computer Commons within the Grasselli Library. Each color print would deduct $.30 from a student’s printing account while black and white prints only deducted $.05.

This year, the ITS department partnered with Knowta, a startup company based in the Shaker LaunchHouse business incubator, to bring color printing to JCU. Knowta brought this program to Case Western Reserve University last year and the positive response led them to contact JCU for possible expansion.

The CEO of Knowta, Ryan Clark, explained that many managers and investors on Knowta’s staff are JCU alum.

This reason, in addition to Knowta’s close proximity to campus, is why they chose John Carroll as one of their test schools.

The Knowta system allows each student to print up to 15 color pages a day and 60 color pages a week. This up-

Schuele, dean of the Boler School of Business, and Jean Colleran, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.

“Dr. Day worked very effectively with the faculty because he listens attentively, is fair in his judgments and cares deeply about the university community,” Colleran said. “The English department is fortunate in having such a learned and dedicated faculty member join its staff, but I will miss having him as my boss.”

Day identified the development of the new core curriculum as his proudest accomplishment as provost and academic vice president. However, the job posed some challenges to Day, as well.

“The most challenging thing has been all of the time that I’ve been here at John Carroll, we’ve been under some financial strain,” he said. “So having to cut back and reallocate resources within the academic division has been the biggest administrative challenge.”

Day said he imagines he will miss the perspective on the whole campus that the position gave him.

“It gives you the opportunity to do things and to connect with people across campus that I would say the average faculty member just doesn’t have occasion to do,” he said.

Despite this, the decision to step down came fairly easily to him, as a natural progression into another phase of his life. He hopes to retire by 2018.

and-coming color printing service is free for students.

Every printed page is legal size, meaning the top of the paper has the typed text, and the bottom of the paper has an advertisement. The ad is micro-perforated and can be detached cleanly and easily.

Knowta has marketed the advertisement service to local businesses in the area including restaurants, grocery stores and clothing stores. They also marketed the service to the businesses who had previously advertised on Case Western Reserve’s campus color printing. These advertisements contain coupons for the respective businesses.

The first printer was recently installed in the Boler School of Business lab (SB235). The printer has been used by 30 students in a “soft roll-out.”

During this process, a representative was present to assist students and make sure that the operation went smoothly. Once the ITS department is comfortable with the service in the Boler Lab, the plan is to place a second printer in the Lombardo Student Center Lab (LC40).

After seeing the students’ reactions and advertising revenue, there is a possibility of expansion to other areas on campus as well.

Continuing the JCU tradition

Forever Carroll campaign supports students Mary Frances McGowan Staff Reporter

Last May, the Forever Carroll campaign was announced to the John Carroll University community. A celebration was held to proclaim the beginning of a fruitful campaign that would propel JCU into a better future. The campaign has been successful for the past few months; however, many students have questions about how the campaign works, how they will benefit and how they can contribute.

According to Vice President for University Advancement Doreen Riley, the ongoing capital campaign model is three-pronged. When the Forever Carroll campaign was in the formative stages before the official announcement, it was said to be in the “quiet phase.”

As the campaign assumed capital and was ready to be announced on an official basis, it was sent to the “public phase,” which is where the Forever Carroll campaign is currently stationed. When it achieves its goal of raising $100 million, it will be in the “wrap-up” phase, where necessary steps will be made to finalize the current campaign and plan for the next. So far, $63 million has been raised through the Forever Carroll campaign.

The goal of the campaign is to “help students utilize their full potential and help John Carroll be recognized as one of the nation’s most distinguished values-driven universities,” according to the Forever Carroll website.

The overwhelming focus of the campaign is on the JCU student body, with the idea of improving student experience and raising JCU to new heights. There are four pillars that provide framework for the campaign: investing in students, enriching the academic experience, building on our Jesuit heritage and enhancing student experience.

The goal of investing in students is rooted in the necessity of a strong scholarship fund. By having endowed scholarships, students will have the opportunity to attend JCU regardless of their financial background.

“Our biggest priority is our students,” Riley said. “We are invested in Please see CARROLL, p. 2

“Usually I only need to print in black and white, but the idea of color printing is good for those who need it.”

- Freshman Michaela Gladieux “As an English major, I only print in black and white, but I think color printing will be useful for science majors who need to print slides.”

- Senior Michael Moccia “I think that color printing is a good idea, but I think it should cost more. If there was a price for color printing, that would be incentive for students not to use it if they don’t need it. It would help the environment.”

- Sophomore Henry Patricy “Color printing is useful and it will be great to have it accessible to students.”

- Sophomore Alex Ehrett

Darkness consumes campus Main Quad lighting issues concern students Matt Hribar Staff Reporter

With clocks moving an hour forward next Sunday and winter’s bestial weather ready to strike John Carroll University, students are growing concerned about the lack of proper outdoor lighting on campus. According to multiple students, the area around the Main Quad has few functioning lights. When asked about their opinions on the outdoor lighting on campus, several students found the lighting to be almost nonexistent.

“It gets really hard to see, not just because there’s not enough lighting, but also because the light is orange,” said sophomore Elizabeth Egan. “It’s not bright, and I don’t feel as safe I would hope to on campus.”

“There have been multiple times when I’ve been walking back from Dolan or the library and it’s been dark out and I couldn’t see where I was going,” said freshman Dan May. “I’m tired of relying on the light of the dorms to guide my way.”

Brian Hurd, assistant director of Campus Safety Services, agreed that the campus needs to have efficient lighting.

“Certainly, if people feel like it’s dimly lit, that will create a feeling that it’s not safe, whether or not it is,” Hurd said. “Darkness and certain dark areas have that effect on people.

It certainly helps to have well-lit areas; it has been proven to [prevent] crime.”

Senior Deirdre Byrne was previously the chair of the facilities and security committee on Student Union. During her time in that position, she would go on lighting walks to examine the quality of the school’s outdoor lighting.

“In 2011, we found over 15 lights that were out,” said Byrne. “We filed work orders.

They also [began] using more energy-efficient lighting. After talking to [Manager of Facilities Services] Mike Roeder, the lighting really improved for the year.”

Byrne’s views of the outdoor lighting dimmed this year.

“I am disappointed to see that the campus is incredibly dark again,” she said. “I’ll return at midnight [from the library] and it is pitch black. I have not talked with anyone in facilities about the issue now, but I remember them being so excited about the new energyefficient lighting. I hope it’s something that’s still [being] used.”

Hurd explained that CSS follows a process with officers at nighttime.

“If they see lights out, they’ll [tell] maintenance,” said Hurd.

Hurd also encouraged students to voice their opinions about lighting on campus and

share their experiences with CSS. “We would certainly be interested to hear from students if they feel like it’s too dark in certain areas,” Hurd said. “It’s helpful to get a different perspective.”

Carol Dietz, associate vice president of facilities, directed The Carroll News to Bernard Beyer, director of physical plant, about the lighting. Beyer could not be reached for comment regarding the lighting issue.

Byrne said that for the sake of safety, the lighting system on campus is in need of an overhaul.

“I understand it is difficult to keep track of what lights are working on campus and what lights are not, but I think there needs to be a better system to keep track,” said Byrne.

“Earlier in the year, we were notified about scary incidents off campus, so I really hope that the lighting gets better.”

In the meantime, Byrne suggested that students be aware of their surroundings when walking around at night. She echoed Hurd’s advice to report any observations of insufficient lighting.

“If you notice a light that is not working, file a work order,” said Byrne. “It’s easy to assume that facilities is not being diligent, but sometimes they are [unaware of what is] happening.”

Forever Carroll fund works to gradually improve the student experience at JCU From CARROLL, p.1 raising money for scholarships and financial aid. Alumni have donated in amazing ways, which should make the students very happy.”

Sophomore Angelica Carrino was relieved and excited after she heard this information.

“I wasn’t really sure what the Forever Carroll campaign was funding, but knowing that most of it is going towards scholarships is really great,” said Carrino.

The second goal of the campaign is to ensure that the curriculum and staff at JCU remain relevant and competitive by endowing esteemed chair members and professors and investing capital in academic programs that attract students to campus, such as the Tim Russert “Meet the Press” Fellowship.

On Oct. 30, JCU President the Rev. Robert Niehoff, S.J. announced that alumnus Ray Smiley and his wife, Eleanor, donated $2.5 million to fund an endowed chair, The Raymond and Eleanor Smiley Chair in Business Ethics, in the John M. and Mary Jo Boler School of Business.

The campaign also strives to make JCU the most comfortable envi-

ronment possible, by funding projects such as the Murphy Hall renovation, the Hamlin Quad project and future residence hall improvements.

The last goal of the campaign is building on JCU’s Jesuit heritage.

According to Paul Murphy, vice president of university mission and identity, the task JCU is currently faced with is ensuring that it maintains its Jesuit identity in a school that is largely run by lay people. The fund will help ensure that every student that wants to take part in an immersion trip will be able to have some of the cost covered through the generous support of donors.

“Students should feel that they are taking part in something very special, and regardless of how much they are able to give, they are investing in John Carroll’s future,” said Riley. “Not everyone can write a $3 million check, and that’s fine. It demonstrates that we all care about John Carroll’s future, so make a gift at whatever level you can, every gift counts.”

Day to remain at JCU as English professor

From DAY, p.1 Drawing on his English literature background, Day quoted 17th-century British poet Andrew Marvell, who wrote about “time’s winged chariot,” referring to the notion that “time flies.”

“My wife and I want an identifiable additional stage of our life together,” Day said. “Father Niehoff and I have talked about this for a while, and we determined that this would be a good time for me to make that transition.”

During his year of leave, Day plans to refresh and refine his teaching methods. He said he is looking forward to getting back into the profession that brought him into higher education in the first place.

“My current position is somewhat removed from the day-to-day life of students, so I really enjoy more regular contact with students,” he said.

One of Day’s colleagues, James Krukones, associate academic vice president and associate professor of history, said that Day’s recent administrative experience will prove to be useful to the English department.

“It’s been gratifying working with John Day,” Krukones said. “He takes a very measured and sensible approach to things.”

The process for hiring a new provost and academic vice president is already underway. Anthony Roy Day, chair of the Faculty Council and professor in the physics department, said that his goal is to have the elected faculty search committee in place by the end of November. The committee will set up the job description and advertise the position throughout December and January, and the main search process will take place throughout the remainder of the spring 2014 semester.

Bend and snap with JCU’s theatrical production ‘Legally Blonde: The Musical’ opens this weekend at Kulas

Madeline Smanik

Assistant Arts & Life Editor

Plenty of college students are familiar with the movie “Legally Blonde,” the film depicting sorority-president-turned-law-student Elle Woods. Devastated when her boyfriend leaves her to find someone more serious, Elle becomes determined to follow her ex to Boston, where they both enroll in Harvard Law School. Along the way, she befriends salon worker Paulette and fellow law student Emmett. The story explores relatable themes of love and discovering oneself.

The film opened as a huge success in 2001.

However, not quite as commonly known is the musical version of the show. “Legally Blonde: The Musical” is the same story we know and love, only with musical performances woven throughout.

The musical opened in April 2007 on Broadway, where it was performed until October of the following year. Today, the show continues to be performed in Australia and Germany. In May 2014, another production of the show is set to open in Quebec City.

While this high-energy musical continues to spread across the world, it will also be performed here at John Carroll University. JCU’s own students will be performing the show for the first two weekends of November.

Assistant professor and producing director of theatre Keith Nagy said, “[‘Legally Blonde’] has this appeal to the younger generation that I didn’t know anything about until I

started considering it.”

Nagy also discussed the popularity of the show, mostly due to the recorded version that was shown multiple times on MTV. The musical grew in popularity with a younger generation who frequently watched MTV’s programming.

For many students, this show will be an introduction to a great American art form, the musical.

“If you don’t know anything about the musical genre, it’s a great way to explore [it],” said Nagy. Speaking of his own experience with theatre, he said, “I’ve been in love with musicals since I saw my first one when I was in third grade, so I cannot imagine a college student who has not come to a musical before in their life. But they’re out there.”

A unique aspect of this production is that the lead female roles of Elle, Paulette and Brooke have been double-casted. Two actresses per character alternate performances in which they play a lead. Nagy said this started four or five years ago when the swine flu was going around.

Junior Marie Bshara, one of the Paulettes, spoke highly of her fellow cast members.

“I love Jackie [Uhlik], who is the other Paulette. We’re like the same person so it’s kind of funny that we do play the same person.”

The actresses playing Brooke and Paulette play different roles in the performances when they are not in their lead roles.

When asked about challenges in rehearsals, sophomore Drew Dockery, who plays Emmett, said, “I think always getting everybody

Humor and vulgarity take to the screen in ‘Bad Grandpa’ MOVIE REVIEW “Bad Grandpa”

Ashley Matzenbach Staff Reporter

Remember sitting through all three “Jackass” movies, hiding behind your fingertips, cringing at all of the gruesome,

death-defying stunts? Well, Johnny Knoxville is at it again, bringing just as much repulsion and guilty fascination to the big screen. The movie, “Bad Grandpa,” is about an 86-year-old man taking his grandson on a cross-country road trip. What could go wrong with a little quality time to form a precious bond between child and grandparent, right?

Wrong. Little Billy (Jackson Nicoll) is left at his grandmother’s funeral by his dead beat, jail-bound mother and left in the not-so-capable hands of his grandfather, Irving Zisman (Knoxville). Together, they must embark on, and attempt to survive, a trip across the country to drop Billy off in a no-better situation with his pipe-smoking father, who is more interested in his child support check than his child.

“Bad Grandpa” starring Johnny Knoxville opened on Oct. 23 in theaters.

There is only one problem: Irving feels like he is finally free after the passing of his wife, and ready to get back out into the world and have a good time - perhaps too good of a time. Billy gets dragged along, learning to love the lifestyle and even instigates many of their shenanigans.

On the road, they encounter strip clubs, bingo nights, wedding crashing and the world of beauty pageants - all the while with a special passenger in their trunk.

This is just a few of the insane and jawdropping events they get into.

The film has a “Bruno”-esque feel to it, with a loosely framed plot that is widely determined by the organic reactions of the unsuspecting public that Knoxville and Nicoll terrify and anger.

Expect nudity, profanity and a lot of offensive jokes.

But underneath all of that, there is a weirdly sweet bond that is formed between Irving and Billy.

Sure, it was not the most educational or valueoriented movie to watch, but it makes for a humorous night.

Another exciting draw is that some of the scenes were filmed in Ohio – in both Cleveland and Columbus.

One disclaimer: you may never be able to look at soda machines the same way again.

The student’s guide to a DIY Halloween Abrial Neely

The Carroll News

Alexandra Higl Arts & Life Editor It’s 2 a.m. on a weekday and the party is just getting started – the study party, that is. You’re sporting some ratty old sweatpants, fist pumping to the Pandora dance party station, pounding coffee after coffee and foolishly wishing that Chipotle delivered.

Your second wind has officially kicked in. That biology midterm you’ve been obsessing about for weeks is in approximately six hours, and you’re feeling fairly confident. The night is young.

There’s plenty of time yet to cram about photosynthesis, memorize some charts and work in some much needed Facebook procrastination time. That “A” is right at your fingertips.

At this point, cramming is becoming a way of life. You’re sailing through college with straight “A’s,” lack of sleep and probably some nerve damage from the mass amounts of caffeine you’ve consumed. But you’re succeeding, right? Right.

The cycle continues.

All we really care about is that beautiful sight of straight “A’s” gracing our report cards. We are a type-A generation after all. The mindset to be the best and brightest at everything has been instilled in us since birth. I don’t even want to think about the three-year-olds who are currently listening to “Baby Mozart” music and watching “Baby Einstein” DVDs. The pressure is on.

We’re a future-oriented, career-obsessed generation. This is not entirely unfortunate. Sure, we’re ambitious. Yet, we’ve forgotten how to learn. Moreover, we’ve forgotten how to love learning.

Ask yourself: why are you here at John Carroll? Is it because your parents are making you? Perhaps. Is it because you want to succeed, “98 and three-quarters percent guaranteed”? Most likely. Is it because you are genuinely interested in learning, even if it doesn’t help your career at all? If you picked choice three, please stop by the newsroom. I want to personally thank you.

We’ve lost sight of the real meaning of education. Many sacrifice not majoring in something they are truly passionate about because of the fear they’ll live in a cardboard box for the rest of their lives in order to attain status, money and avoid the strange looks they receive from people when they tell them what they want to do with their lives. Instead, they fast track their way to law school, medical school or the corporate world.

The simple solution to attain success: straight “A’s.” However, if your heart isn’t in your major, do you actually tackle the assigned readings every night, engage in class discussion and moreover not worry about your grade because you enjoy the course so much? I think we can safely assume only a small percentage fall under this category.

If grades didn’t exist, would students actually take the time to learn the material, instead of cramming at some ungodly hour, only to forget everything they covered once the test is over? Is this what academia should be like?

In a perfect world, grades would not exist. Everyone would major in something where their heart lies. Students would sit around coffee shops, heatedly debating what they learned about in class instead of making snarky remarks about how a test is approaching.

I realize grades are here to stay. There must be some sort of structure. Yet, is there too much emphasis on defining yourself with a letter? Think about all the perfectionists running around out there, who measure success by their GPA. This is what society has instilled in us.

Perhaps, if we just fell in love with learning, Americans would learn to open up their minds, think critically and actually see the world in a new-fangled perspective. Moreover, college students would actually attend classes for the love of learning.

DIY Decora

It is very simple to add some spooky décor to your dorm. Spiderwebs hanging from the walls are an easy and fun way to make your floor look haunted. Just take jumbo-sized cotton balls (which can be found at a local drugstore) and stretch out the cotton until it looks stringy, like a cobweb. Then simply tape the webs to the walls for a creepy effect, sure to make the people on your floor scream.

Being away at school can make classic Halloween projects difficult, but not impossible. Do-it-yourself creations like homemade costumes and dorm room decorating are fun and easy ways to get into the Halloween spirit.

DIY Costume

There are plenty of easy DIY costumes from the classic ghost to a toilet paper mummy. However, if you want to get noticed this Halloween, a great DIY costume would be a piñata. For this festive look, all you need is a plain dress or, if you’re a guy, a body suit. Attach multicolored streamers to your clothing with glue and in no time you’ll have a costume that stands out among the crowd. For a finishing touch, add a donkey tail made of long streamers.

DIY Recipe

Everyone knows the most delicious treats are always homemade. To satisfy your sweet tooth, try making a quick and easy candy apple. Grab a few apples, melt some chocolate or caramel, and make sure you have plenty of toppings. Once you dip your apple in the chocolate or caramel, sprinkle on some toppings or just leave it plain for a delicious Halloween snack.

U.S. spying allegations a cause for concern

AP

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, pictured above, discusses the topic of data protection regulations at the EU Summit last week. Merkel suspects she is among at least 35 world leaders whose phone calls were allegedly intercepted by the NSA. Katelyn DeBaun

Asst. World News Editor

Documents leaked last week by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden report over 200 foreign phone numbers, 35 of which were those of world leaders, have been monitored by the NSA since 2006.

Snowden fled the United States in May and is currently living under asylum in Russia to avoid being arrested by American authorities on charges of espionage.

Among leaders suspected of being monitored is German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who called President Obama last Wednesday after she realized that the NSA may have listened in on her phone calls. She told Obama that it was “unacceptable” and that “spying among friends cannot be,” according to Time.

In a press conference, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney explained that the U.S.

is not monitoring her phone calls, and that the U.S. “greatly values our close cooperation with Germany on a broad range of shared security challenges.”

CBS News reports that Merkel spokesman Steffen Seibert said that the German government “has received information that the chancellor’s cell phone may be monitored by American intelligence.”

Additionally, a French newspaper reported that the NSA intercepted over 70 million French telephone records in less than 30 days. Obama and French President Francois Hollande discussed these allegations, and Obama made clear that the “United States has begun to review the way [the government] gathers intelligence,” according to CNN. Additionally, a Hollande spokesman said that Obama articulated his condemnation of spying on allies.

Similarly, Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta has stated that the U.S. has listened in

on phone calls of Italian citizens. During a meeting with Letta last week, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry explained that the U.S. government’s goal was to find an appropriate balance between national and international security and privacy.

Vice President of the European Commission Viviane Reding called for the European Union nations to adopt a data protection law in response to the recent scandal.

“Data protection must apply to everyone, whether we’re talking about citizens’ emails or Angela Merkel’s mobile phone,” she said.

“Europe’s heads of state and government must follow words with action: they should commit to adopting the EU Data Protection Reform by spring 2014. This would be Europe’s declaration of independence.”

Homeland security and counterterrorism adviser Lisa Monaco explained in a USA Today article that Snowden’s “disclosures have created significant challenges in our relationships.”

White House spokespeople have stated that the U.S. is currently examining Germany’s concerns of the U.S. spying. However, no immediate actions have been taken to end or cut back on interception of international phone calls by the NSA. Meanwhile, the White House continues to pacify world leaders’ anger toward its spying policies.

“The [NSA] revelations have clearly caused tension in our relationships with some countries, and we are dealing with that through diplomatic channels,” Carney explained. “These are very important relations both economically and for our security, and we will work to maintain the closest possible ties.”

The future of U.S. foreign relations remains unclear, as the possible movement toward data regulations will have the greatest impact on any outcome.

Obamacare website off to rough start Catie Pauley Staff Reporter

Conflict in Washington looms as the launch of Obamacare continues to face more unexpected issues.

Since the opening of the Obamacare website, numerous glitches have occurred and prevented Americans from signing up for the controversial healthcare plan. Most recently, a data center crucial for signing up uninsured Americans crashed this Sunday, according to CNBC. Verizon’s Terremark operated the data center that crashed, which hosts HealthCare.gov and determines government subsidies’ eligibility to buy insurance. The data glitch caused the network to lose connectivity, further polarizing Americans’ opinions of the Affordable Care Act. This glitch also affects the data services hub that connects federal agencies and is responsible for verifying people’s identity and citizenship, among other responsibilities. There has been no indication of when the data services hub will be functioning again.

Joanne Peters, Health and Human Services Department spokeswoman, released a statement regarding the recent glitches.

“We are working with Terremark to get their timeline for addressing the issue. We understand that this issue is affecting other customers in addition to HealthCare.gov, and Terremark is working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible,” she said.

While the HHS department holds responsibility for implementing the law, Obama still has “full confidence” in the department’s Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, according to The White House.

CNN reported that in a congressional hearing on Oct. 24, contractors for the website stated that

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, center, takes part in a panel discussion to answer questions about the Affordable Care Act enrollment on Oct. 25, in San Antonio. Sebelius and President Obama have both recently been forced to deal with the problems of the new healthcare website. it was the government’s fault that the website has been failing to function. These contractors continued to say that this has been a result of a lack of testing on the system, as well as the federal agency that oversees the system adding last minute changes.

Julie Bataille, director of communications for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, appeared to agree with the recent critiques of the system. She stated that “due to a compressed time frame, the system just wasn’t tested enough, especially for high volume.”

Regarding the system’s crash that occurred within two weeks of the launch, North Carolina GOP Rep. Renee Elmers stated that “CMS is responsible for this failure.”

The website’s multiple malfunctions continues to drive the Republican and Democratic

parties further apart. Committee Chairman Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan referred to the website as “nothing short of a disaster” at the hearing. He stated that the websites contractors previously “looked us in the eye and assured us repeatedly that everything was on track, except that it wasn’t.”

Further escalating GOP criticism of Obamacare is the continued complaints about glitches such as long delays and difficulties logging into the website.

Obamacare, already considered a controversial law, places more pressure on the Obama administration and will continue to be debated in Washington so long as the website still faces technical issues.

Firing Lane

Sam Lane

World News Editor

Christie in a nutshell: An American we need I can give a number of reasons as to why I feel this way. One could be the recent government shutdown, which hurt the U.S. economy as well as the national standing of the Republican Party. Another could be the White House’s failure to get President Barack Obama’s signature piece of legislation, the Affordable Care Act, off to a smooth start. Finally, there are the recent revelations regarding the U.S. government spying on German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

All of these examples seem to bring justice to the claim that I just made regarding U.S. politics. But that being said, I am not going to focus on all that bleakness. Instead I would rather focus on one politician who is perhaps the beacon of hope for our country.

This man is my home state governor, Chris Christie (R-NJ).

With less than a week to go before the 2013 New Jersey gubernatorial election, Christie maintains a large lead in public opinion polls.

In some ways, his strong favorability for reelection is quite astounding. As a Republican politician in the heavily Democratic state of New Jersey, the ability to win (or in Christie’s case, also maintain) statewide office is something of an anomaly. When he first defeated Gov. Jon Corzine four years ago by capturing 49 percent of the vote, it was the largest percent for a non-incumbent Republican in 40 years.

Still, many took this more as a rejection of the corruption caused by the state Democrats rather than an embracement of the new governor. Many felt that Christie would prove to be just another politician whose flame would quickly fade out. He proved that this could not be farther from the truth.

Since taking office in 2010, Christie made clear that there were problems that had to be fixed in his state and, while it would not pretty, changes had to be made. His first goal was cutting out the state’s waste, which meant drawing attention to the overpaid public educators.

Instead of bouncing around the issue of cutting their pay, Christie was blunt: many teachers do not teach. For the next two and a half years, Christie used his personal style to help bring New Jersey back to respectability.

His conservative governing style had therefore made it fairly obvious why Republicans saw him as a presidential candidate.

Then came Hurricane Sandy, perhaps the worst disaster to affect state residents since 9/11. Rather than pursue the partisan politics consistent with recent America, not to mention a week before Election Day, Christie worked with Obama to fix the damage. To some, this seemed like political betrayal. To the good governor, it was simply the right thing to do. Fortunately, most in New Jersey and the rest of the country agreed with the latter.

For these reasons, it actually is much more understandable why Christie deserves to, and will, win reelection in a landslide.

Americans should hope that Christie’s influence will go beyond next week. Take my word for it; an individual who can successfully do great things for a state such as New Jersey with minor controversy can certainly do good for the country.

Joe Ginley Sports Editor

King in Cleveland?

I don’t think so If I read one more article about the possibility of LeBron James returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers, I might scream.

“King James” has three more years remaining on his contract with the Miami Heat, but could opt out of his deal at the end of the 2013-14 season. The Cavaliers have plenty of cap space next season. Cue the speculation.

I, for one, am sick of such talk.

I’ve seen articles on SportsIllustrated.com, CBSSports.com and Ohio. com and often hear the topic come up in conversation around JCU. I can’t stand this mindless gossip.

I remember July 8, 2010 vividly.

I was at work, listening to the coverage on the radio with my restaurant’s regular customers. Business slowed to a standstill just before LeBron announced his “Decision.”

Time seemed to stop for a few brief moments until I heard those fateful words: “This fall, I’m going to be taking my talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat.”

I couldn’t believe my ears. How could an Akron native, who grew up 40 minutes away and knew the pain of local fans, stab Cleveland in the back on national television?

When I returned home, I watched some of the television coverage. I saw Cleveland fans burn LeBron jerseys. I wanted to toss mine in the trash.

I promised never to root for LeBron again. Since then, I’ve actively rooted against him. For this bitter Cleveland fan, LeBron ranks among the likes of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the New York Yankees and the Michigan Wolverines.

Increasingly more, Cleveland fans are coming around to LeBron’s point of view. I’m incredulous. I liken LeBron’s return to selling your soul to the devil. Are we that desperate to win a title that we will turn to the man who betrayed us in front of almost 10 million viewers?

If we are so desperate, we shouldn’t be. Cavaliers general manager Chris Grant has this team in a position to win.

Built around All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving, the Cavs are stacked with exciting young talent. Fellow 2011 first round draft pick Tristan Thompson improved greatly last season. Second-year guard Dion Waiters has shown promise. Rookies Anthony Bennett and Sergey Karasev, both 2013 first round draft picks, also have great potential.

Something special is beginning to take shape at “The Q.” The Cavs should contend for a playoff spot this season, and could be a championship contender a couple years down the road.

We don’t need you, LeBron.

Stay in Miami. We’ll see you in the playoffs.

The John Carroll University football squad controlled the entire game and crushed the Ohio Northern University Polar Bears 47-0 in Ada, Ohio on Saturday afternoon, marking JCU’s first road win over ONU since 2002.

The Blue Streaks, ranked No. 15 in the D3Football.com national poll, had 521 yards of total offense and improved to 7-0 on the season and 6-0 in the Ohio Athletic Conference.

The Blue and Gold started early, as junior Mark Myers threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to junior Aramis Greenwood less than three minutes into the game.

Myers finished 27 of 37 for 321 yards and one touchdown, his second 300-yard game of the season.

The special teams dominated once again with two blocked punts and a blocked field goal. Junior Choe Samba broke through three ONU blockers to block a punt and set the Blue Streaks up at the 47-

quarter, which helped preserve the shutout.

Junior Kresimir Ivkovic converted on four of five field goals; his long was from 36 yards and the only miss was from 33 yards, earning him OAC Special Teams Player of the Week honors.

The Blue Streaks defense was just as dominant, limiting the Polar

Bears to 126 yards of total offense.

ONU did not convert a single third down, going 0-for-10 on the day.

By only allowing seven first downs and no points, the Blue Streaks defense won the time of possession battle by over 15 minutes (37:38-22:22). The shutout was the unit’s fourth of the season.

JCU also had an interception by Randy Greenwood and one sack each from sophomore David Porter and freshman Michael Hippler.

Sophomore Tommy Michals came in for senior DaQuan Grobsmith and rushed 23 times for 132 yards and three touchdowns.

“It was nice to perform that well, but in the end it’s just about doing my best to help my team win,” Michals said.

Aramis Greenwood also performed well, notching 15 catches for 185 yards (both season highs) and one touchdown.

The Blue Streaks will take a 7-0 record into next Saturday’s game at Wilmington College.

Volleyball swept by ONU, still clinches OAC Tournament berth Joe Ginley Sports Editor

The weekend was bittersweet for the John Carroll University volleyball team. The Blue Streaks clinched their first Ohio Athletic Conference Tournament berth since 2010, but dropped a 3-0 decision to Ohio Northern University on Saturday.

“Ohio Northern is a tough place to play,” head coach Laura Rodeffer said. “With young teams, sometimes they’re really good, and sometimes they’re not. I think it was just a bad time for us to not play our best.”

The JCU volleyball squad is having its best season in quite some time. The Blue and Gold brought an 18-8 record into their contest with the Polar Bears, the most wins the team has recorded in a season since 2008, as well as a four-game winning streak into Ada on Saturday.

ONU, a perennial volleyball powerhouse, was seeking to continue a winning streak of a different kind against JCU. Having won 16 consecutive matches over the Blue Streaks, ONU looked to extend the streak and move past JCU in the OAC standings.

The Polar Bears positioned themselves to do just that in the first set. ONU raced out to a 13-6 lead before the Blue Streaks could get settled.

Though JCU countered with a five-point streak, the Polar Bears dominated the rest of the set with a 10-3 run, winning the first set, 25-14.

In the midst of the defeat, sophomore Sara Kaminski set a JCU single-season record for digs. With her 13-dig performance on Saturday, the defensive specialist (also known as libero) now has an outstanding 602 digs on the season.

“I did not know I was close to breaking the record until the game before I did, and to me win-

ning games is much more satisfying,” Kaminski said. “I could not have broken the record without any of my teammates.”

“She’s so steady,” Rodeffer said of Kaminski.

“The consistency that she displays helps us tremendously.”

Despite the best efforts of Kaminski on defense and sophomore Sarah Orlandi, who had a matchhigh 11 kills, the Blue Streaks couldn’t get going in the second set. ONU won by a score of 25-17.

The Blue and Gold took the lead for the first time in the beginning of the third set. JCU built up a 19-15 lead, thanks in part to freshman Leah Switalski, who notched seven kills in the match.

But the Polar Bears roared back, winning the set, and match, with 10 consecutive points.

Editor’s Note: The Blue Streaks fell in three straight sets to Heidelberg University at home on Tuesday, falling to 18-10 on the year.

Men’s team loses heartbreaker at home; women’s squad blanks Polar Bears in Ada Men’s Soccer

Jake Hirschmann Staff Reporter

In what was an oddity in this men’s soccer season, the Blue Streaks fell 2-1 to the Ohio Northern University Polar Bears on Saturday.

The loss, just the third of the season for the Blue and Gold and their first at home, was one of the roughest games of the season for both sides.

JCU entered the game on a nine-game win streak, but still in need of a win to keep the conference lead. Having defended their home turf as well as any team in the nation, the outlook was positive as the match began under the lights at 7 p.m. at Don Shula Stadium.

The intensity could be felt right from the start as both teams were going at each other during every play, much to the chagrin of the referee, who had his whistle out early and often.

With players flying all over the field and both teams looking for any breakthrough, ONU found one in the 25th minute when Matt Kinkopf, the top goal scorer in the conference, garnered a breakaway and slotted one past junior goalkeeper Chris Garbinsky to give the Polar Bears a 1-0 lead.

While JCU turned up the offensive intensity, ONU buckled down and held onto the lead going into half.

The Blue Streaks continued to create opportunities, none greater than the one belonging to senior forward Mariusz Trzeciak, who was able to beat everyone, including the Polar Bears goalie, but lost control at the last second

as the ball squirted out for a goal kick.

From there on out, chances began looking dim as the weather turned bleak and the field became slick.

In the 77th minute, Austin Horton of the Polar Bears found the back of the net for ONU and put the game seemingly out of reach.

But the Blue Streaks persevered and responded in the 86th minute when senior Thor Eriksen slotted one home off a pass from junior midfielder Brian Potocnik.

Unfortunately for JCU, they were not able to produce another goal and, in turn, relinquished the conference lead to ONU. Potocnik was adamant that this would not bring the team down.

“It’s important that we all stick together as a team and stay positive following the loss to ONU,” Potocnik said.

Although a difficult loss to swallow, the Blue Streaks are still having one of their best seasons in school history, and are sitting pretty with a 13-3 record (6-1 OAC).

Google’s late-stage development of smartwatch: Trick or treat?

Halloween’s harvest

Today marks the day that many people in countries all over the world participate in a holiday that has been celebrated for centuries. Halloween is characterized in America by attending or throwing parties, visiting haunted houses, dressing up in costumes, carving pumpkins and going trick-or-treating. Halloween has developed its own industry as these events have gained popularity over time, and the industry is booming.

Halloween is the second-largest commercial holiday, only following Christmas, according to the National Retail Federation, or NRF. Special retailers, such as Spirit Halloween, specifically sell Halloween merchandise from midSeptember through the end of October.

It is projected that consumers will spend an average of $66.28 per person on costumes, candy and decorations this year, according to the NRF. This will equate to a total estimated consumer expenditure of $1.6 billion on Halloween-related items.

Another implication that Halloween has created an industry of it’s own is the effect of the holiday’s popularity on tourism. Cities and towns all over the country have been known to host Halloween-related events and activities. An example of a popular place to travel during Halloween is Salem, Mass.

Salem is known for the Salem Witch Trials in the late 17th century. This spooky reputation has caused it to become an extremely popular place to travel during the Halloween season.

Young adults, ages 18 -24, have been identified as the catalyst of the Halloween industry’s growth. In recent years, young adults have been more likely to throw or attend a party and visit a haunted house for Halloween than any other age group. Take advantage of the holiday season this year by taking part in the events, parties and festivities that are upon us with as much popularity as ever.

These features in the smartwatch aim to address criticisms that current smartwatches are not useful enough for their cost. Another major criticism of current smartwatches is that their battery life is poor. Google has been working to reduce the power consumption on their new smartwatch so that it will not require frequent battery charges, according to the WSJ. Current competitors that have already released a smartwatch of their own into the market are Samsung and Sony Corp.

Samsung was the first to beat competitors to the punch in September when they launched their $299 Galaxy Gear digital watch. This product can run the applications that are on Samsung smartphones, and interact with the smartphones as well.

Wearable devices have been in consideration by major technology firms for years, according to the engineers at contract manufacturers in Taiwan that have built the majority of the world’s consumer electronics.

Business Basics Stock represents a claim on part of a corporations assets and earnings. Buying stock in a corporation signifies ownership in a corporation.

There are two main types of stock that you can purchase. These are referred to as common stock and preferred stock.

Common stock usually entitles the owner to vote at shareholders’ meetings and to receive dividends, or a distribution of a portion of a company’s earnings.

Preferred stock generally does not have these voting rights. However, with preferred stock, an owner has a higher claim on the assets and earnings of a company than an owner with common stock has.

Having a higher claim on the assets and earnings of a company means that if the company were to go bankrupt, an owner with a higher claim or priority will receive their share in equity of the company before owners with common stock will.

Off the Richter: Nitty-gritty American city

The Op/Ed Top Ten: Worst things to find in your bag of Halloween candy

1. Candy corn 2. Floss 3. Raisins 4. Pretzels 5. Popcorn

Goodness Gracious:

Grace Kaucic Editorial & Op/Ed Editor My parents have always talked about how when they were growing up, they only had three channels available on television, and of those three channels there were only a few shows to watch. Nowadays, the number of shows you can choose to watch on any given day is endless. This is a dangerous thing when you have no life, like I did over the summer. So, yes, I spent my free time checking out new television shows that I had heard good things about. There were a number of really great ones that I got into, but the one that has stuck out to me the most and I can’t help but keep writing about is the infamous “South Park.”

For the longest time, I refused to watch “South Park” because I had heard from a pretty substantial number of people was the show was crude, offensive and tasteless. After watching my first episode, I agreed with this reaction. However, a friend of mine basically forced me to keep watching it, and after just a few episodes, I started looking past all the vulgarity and off-color comments to the main theme of each episode. And, honestly, I can say now that I’m very impressed with both the creativity and audacity of creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

They do indeed break boundaries in each of their episodes. No, actually, break isn’t the right word. Parker and Stone straight up OBLITERATE the normal social boundaries that we as a nation have when it comes to media and television programs. However, I have grown to appreciate their nerve in doing so because, in a way, they are doing something that is critical to the populace at this point. They are choosing very controversial topics on which people tend to be both very opinionated as well as very one-sided and present these topics in a way that makes you realize how ridiculous the situation is and how ignorant a majority of us are. Plus, they do so in a way that makes your abs cramp up and tears run down your face from laughing so hard. Or, at least, that’s what happens to me.

An example of a fantastic episode that really socks it to our political system is the episode “Douche and Turd” in season eight. The premise of this episode is that the children of South Park hold elections for who will

That park in the south

be the next mascot of the school. The two candidates for the mascot are a giant douche and a turd sandwich.

One of the characters, Stan, realizes the stupidity of having to choose one of two completely awful mascots to represent his school, so he decides not to vote. Upon hearing this, his family and friends freak out and go off on him about the importance of voting.

The argument his mom brings up, which is an argument I hear a lot when discussing the importance of voting with others, is “Do you know how many people died just so you could have the right to vote?!”

I love this episode because I think it really hits the nail right on the head when it comes to voting. The sad truth is when it comes to political elections, most of the time we are forced to choose between, well, a douche or a turd sandwich. People love to stress the importance of voting, because that’s what they have always been taught basically since they first learned about history and democracy and politics. It’s incredibly disheartening, though, when we are presented with two less-than-satisfactory choices, and we have to pick one to represent our beautiful country. Despite the mocking nature of the dialogue, I think this episode of “South Park” did a wonderful job of shining light on this subject and posing the important question: “How can I make a difference?” The message at the end of the episode is that, in reality, your vote often doesn’t make a difference in the outcome of the election. This, of course, is not always true, and I definitely don’t want my readers to think I’m unpatriotic and think voting is stupid and unnecessary. I am just acknowledging that there is something important to be considered here.

This is not the only “South Park” episode worth giving a watch, because they all, in one way or another, include a social commentary that may be scathing but is almost always on point.

I agree that the offensive nature of the show is off-putting in many cases, but maybe we should also stop taking things so personally and start listening to what the writers are really trying to say. I can say that I’m glad I gave the show a chance and have come to love the satirical commentary and in-yourface humor, and I think the same could apply to many others. All you have to do is give it a chance. Best case scenario? You find yourself enlightened on many political and social issues and get yourself a new favorite television show. Worst case? Just turn it off and forget about it. Either way, it’s worth taking the chance in order to expand your perspective of the world.

Clara Richter Editorial & Op/Ed Editor Welcome to Baltimore! We promise the whole city isn’t like an episode of “The Wire” (although there are parts you should stay away from).

Baltimore, Maryland doesn’t have the greatest reputation in the canon of great American cities. Especially when it comes to cities on the East Coast, it comes off as a little lackluster. It’s not sleek and young and posh like Washington, D.C. and it doesn’t have the hype or the big city feel of New York City. But I’m here to defend the nitty-gritty cities of America, starting with Baltimore.

I had never been to Baltimore before Fall Break, and frankly I was a little apprehensive to go. I hadn’t heard the greatest of things about it and I didn’t really know what kinds of things there would be to do there. My sister recently moved there and so, despite my trepidation, I decided to go experience a new American city.

In my travels abroad I went to a lot of European cities, but the American city still holds a special place in my heart. There is nothing quite like it. They’re all so shiny and new compared to places in Europe. They have skylines. And despite all being in the same country, they all have a different feel. Sure, Rome is different from Lisbon, but Rome is in Italy and Lisbon is in Portugal; different countries, different city feels. But Chicago is vastly different from New York and they both lie within the borders of the United States.

So, over fall break, Baltimore was added to the list of American cities that are near and dear to my heart. When you tell people you’re going to Baltimore for a weekend their reaction is usually “Why?” It doesn’t conjure the best image in the imagination. But Baltimore left me pleasantly surprised.

First of all, they have the George Peabody Library, which might actually be the most beautiful library I have ever been to in my life. It looks like a really long, beautiful train terminal with bookshelves forming little nooks on the sides. There are six floors of books, all of them ornate and washed with light.

Edgar Allen Poe lived in Baltimore. I saw his house. It is not in the safest part of town, but it was definitely worth seeing and my little nerdy heart almost exploded with joy. He is buried in Baltimore, too, in a very old, very creepy graveyard.

It was pretty fitting for the week before Halloween. And, being a literature nerd, it was really awesome for me to be able to walk the streets that the master of the modern short story at one point strolled down and to see parts of the city that he once inhabited.

There is a lot of exposed brick everywhere. Do you know what Camden Yards looks like? Almost the entire city is composed of the same red brick. The city is keeping the masons of the world employed.

If you know anything about me, you know that the number one thing I like to do when I go anywhere is eat. Baltimore certainly didn’t let me down in that aspect. I not only had a quesadilla with pulled pork and mac and cheese on it, but a

breakfast sandwich that had not only an omelete with sausage, peppers and cheese in it, but also more pulled pork.

So, Baltimore isn’t everyone’s top vacation spot. It isn’t America’s most loved city. It doesn’t have a glittering skyline, or a posh atmosphere. It’s not an obvious destination. But it’s a great city that shouldn’t be overlooked. And there are a lot of cities in America like that.

I’m close with two other American cities that are often degraded, overlooked and mocked: Detroit and Cleveland.

Being from Michigan, I always make sure to specify that I live on the opposite side of the state as Detroit; but despite the fact that they filed for bankrupcy, it is still a great city.

There is Greektown, and the walk along the St. Clair River and you can’t beat the Middle Eastern food you can get in Dearborn. They even have the Jazz Fest every Labor Day weekend.

Going to school here has given me a whole different view of Cleveland and I will defend this city until the day I die. We all know that it has hidden gems: Severence Hall, the Cleveland Art Museum, just about anything at Cedar and Lee, Hot Sauce Williams, West Side Market and all of West 25th Street.

Every American city is worth something. Don’t count them out based upon some surface judgement you have of them. They all have something to offer. Sometimes you have to dig a little harder for that something, but oftentimes that makes it infinitely more rewarding.

Hey! I can’t see!

With the changing of the seasons, it is starting to get darker

earlier, meaning that many more students are walking around

campus when it is dark out. Normally this would not be a

problem, but lately there has been a lack of lighting on cam-

pus, causing many students to have to make their nightly trek to the library, the student center and various other locations around campus in the dark.

The solution to the problem is a simple one: replace burnt

out lightbulbs in the lamp posts and consider adding a few

more light fixtures in highly trafficked areas, especially between the library and Dolan Center for Science and Technology.

In the fall of 2011, several new lights were placed in various

places around campus in order to increase security. However,

if the lights are going out in other places around campus, it now picking up the slack, so to speak, for all the lights that

campus is an issue. It is very aware that it is a situation that

needs to be rectified, especially with the criminal activities that occured close to campus earlier this semester.

Oftentimes, it is difficult for CSS to keep track of the light-

ing on campus, so if you notice any places that are especially dark, it’s wise to speak up about it.

When walking in dark places on campus, remain aware of

tion, but in the meantime remain vigilant, and if you notice

new lights that have gone out, bring them to the attention of the campus safety officials.

Charles Kupchan, a professor of International Affairs at Georgetown, on the NSA spying scandal

Dr. John Day announced earlier this week that he is step-

ping down as John Carroll’s provost and academic vice

president. He will be taking a year off, but then will continue teaching as a member of the English department.

Dr. Day will be greatly missed as the provost. As both

a professor and an administrator, he was always willing to

listen to students and his relaxed presence put them at ease.

Though it is saddening to see him leaving the position, as of now, he is not leaving the University permanently and

we are happy to see that he is going back to doing what he loves, teaching. Although he will be leaving his administrative postition, we look forward to having him with us for
