Racially Charged Yik Yak Posts Called out the Men of Color Council nation’s schools, Spring Hill was recognized by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in his 1963 “Letters from a Birmingham Jail,” and in 1965, the first African American student graduated from the college with honors. Now, 50 years later, it seems as if the school has hit a road block. “The Yik Yak posts are a sign of the change that needs to take place on-campus. It's frustrating and disheartening to know that the original poster could very well be someone we've had classes with or even someone one of us considers a ‘friend,’” Slater said. On Thursday, the MOCC will be hosting a demonstration in the cafeteria at lunch time. Travis Cummings, PR representative for the organization, had this to say: “The demonstration is set to stand in solidarity for racial equality as a whole. We’re standing for the events that happened at Mizzou, Paris, and in our history.” Cummings emphasized that while the Yik Yak posts were deterring, the aim of the MOCC is to respond in a way that will help the entire campus, and that all are welcome to contribute and be a part of the organization. Spring Hill College's Jesuit education calls that ,members of the Spring Hill community fight for justice in the world. The events in recent weeks serve as a reminder that Spring Hill is not immune to injustices on-campus, and that each and every student, faculty, and staff member is responsible for making sure these injustices come to an end.
AGAPE By: Megan Anthony Reporter Recent events at the University of Missouri have sparked responses from students at universities all over the country, including Spring Hill College. Last Thursday, racially charged posts appeared on an anonymous social media sight (Yik Yak) that specifically called out Spring Hill’s MOCC, or Men of Color Council, chapter. The posts claimed that the organization was racist for being all black and that the members believe themselves to better than everyone else. These, along with some other inappropriate posts, have since been taken down from the site. Syrus Slater, member of the MOCC, said that they were initially very hurt by the posts and denied the claims that the MOCC is an all-black organization.“We are not an exclusively African American organization and we currently have applicants who aren’t persons of color,” said Slater. According to Slater, the school's administration has been nothing but supportive, and that the organization can’t concern themselves with anonymous quotes on social media. Spring Hill has a rich history of diversity. As a leading institution in the fight to desegregate the

White House Endorses 2015 Equality Act By: Cree Pettaway Editor-in-Chief White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest announced that the White House has officially endorsed the Equality Act of 2015, granting lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people federal protection against discrimination. The Equality Act was first presented to Congress this past July, which is an amendment to the 1964 Civil Rights Act that prohibits discrimination based on “race, color, religion, sex or national origin.” The Equality Act would include sexual orientation and gender identity as categories that could not be discriminated against. This would include annexing discrimination against LGBT persons seeking “housing, public accommodations, and some employment,” as stated in a recent article by Huffington Post. Despite the support of the White House, LGBT anti-discrimination rights are still receiving push back from citizens within states. In an article published by the Huffington Post on Nov. 4, a vote on Houston’s Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO), which would have prohibited discrimination based on “race, age, military status, disability” as well, revealed 61 % of voters wanted the ordinance repealed. The argument at the forefront of Houston’s Proposition 1, HERO, is that the ordinance would allow “Any
man at any time…[to] enter a woman’s bathroom simply by claiming to be a woman that day,” as stated in the campaign video to vote against the ordinance. However, officials in other cities within Texas have not reported an increase in sexual assaults in women’s restrooms after enforcing LGBT discrimination protection rights of their own. According to Earnest, the White House wanted to hold off on supporting the Equality Act until it could “evaluate the effect the law would have on certain government policies and programs.” Earnest said the act will make certain that people aren’t “discriminated against because of who they love, while…at the same time making sure that we can protect religious liberty,” a concern of some who opposed the act.

tion. Trump said that it hurts the U.S. economically and that it affects U.S. inner cities with drug trafficking. Trump went on to explain that, if elected president, the U.S. will “have a wall” along the border to stop immigrants from entering the U.S. illegally, citing the Israeli/ Palestinian border wall as an example of the plan’s potential success. Most noticeable, however, was Trump’s insistence that all illegal immigrants currently residing in the U.S. must be gathered up by the government and deported since the U.S. “is a country of laws.” This sparked major dissent from John Kasich and Jeb Bush who stated that deporting immigrants would be financially and practically unrealistic as well as detrimental to immigrant families who have been residing in the U.S. for an extended period of time. Later, Sen. Ted Cruz offered input in support of Trump’s position and elaborated on the supposed “economic calamity” of illegal immigration. He said that its economic effects are “very personal to Americans.” According to a 2001 study on the impacts of immigration on the U.S. economy ("Immigration and the U.S. Economy: Labor-Market Impacts, Illegal
Entry, and Policy Choices"), for every ten percent increase in the share of a population that is foreign-born (whether documented or undocumented), the wages of native-born workers fall by less than one percent. “Often an amount not statistically different from zero,” said the study's authors. According to a 2015 study published in the Southern Economic Journal, every one percentage point increase in the portion of a population that is undocumented causes an increase in the wages of documented workers equivalent to 0.44 percent. Illegal immigrants also contribute to economic growth through taxes, namely sales tax and payroll tax. In a 2015 study, the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy found that 11.4 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the U.S. paid collectively a total of $11.84 billion in state and local taxes in 2012. The study concluded that the executive actions administered by President Obama, if allowed to take effect, will increase the tax contributions of immigrants by $845 million.
Student Government Association Testing New Recycling Efforts By: Ryan Flynn Contributing writer The Student Government Association announced a revitalized recycling plan Wednesday night in front of three media members in the Burke Memorial Library. “We have gotten student emails asking about the recycling program on campus and that is something the Green Keepers organization wanted to take on as their big project for the year,” explained Secretary of Campus Life, Brian Schmitt. Every day in the U.S. each person generates 4 pounds of trash and 75% of the waste stream is recyclable, but Americans are only recycling 30% of it. Students have taken notice of the recent lack of recycling and are left with questions concerning the matter. “I wish that there were more opportunities for recycling and I
would like to see more bins, especially in the dorms. I’ve also heard that the contents of the recycling bin just get thrown in the trash,” said junior Isabella Martinez. “We are in beta testing of the recycling bins that we have on campus. So whereas there have been rumors that these recycling bins just get thrown in the trash, that’s not the case,” explained SGA President Connor Bueche. The biggest problem for Attorney General Patrick Lameka is the placement of the trash cans around campus and the general lack thereof. “When you walk around campus we have trash cans in very weird and awkward places but we also have a lack of recycling. With everyone carrying a plastic water bottle or the Styrofoam cups, they are stuff that can be thrown away more carefully and can reduce the amount of trash around campus and make for a more green environment,” stated
Lameka. Getting the word out to students about the new efforts will be key for a successful project. Attorney General Lameka stated SGA will use social media and a press release to get the news out but he continued by stating “word of mouth” is the best way to make the students aware. Recycling is only part of the problem. Trash has become an increasing problem due to student littering. Bueche and his staff have teamed up with plant operations to try and obtain trash cans on both sides of each apartment so students pass them as they enter and exit each a. The apartments are not the only place where trash has become a nuisance; broken soccer goals, along

The cleanup would include getting more trash cans on campus, cleaning up behind O’Leary, the repainting of the welcome sign outside the Dauphin Street. and other general projects.

Starbucks Receives Major Backlash, and It Has Nothing to do with Their Overpriced Coffee By: Cree Pettaway Editor-in-Chief
Starbucks recently declared a “war on Christmas,” or at least this is what some who object to Starbucks seasonal red cups are saying. Since 1997 Starbucks has revealed annually a seasonal cup featuring reindeer, snowflakes, snowmen, ornaments, etc. This year Starbucks went against tradition with the debuted of a red cup that consists of only their logo. As to Starbucks’ reason for switching up the design of their cups, Jeffrey Fields, Starbucks vice president of Design & Content, said, "In the past, we have told stories with our holiday cups designs. This year we wanted to usher in the holidays with a purity of design that welcomes all of our stories." Despite Fields’ statement, social media users have not been shy about showing their distaste for Starbucks’ new cups, some going as far as to that the red cup is
a rejection of Jesus and Christmas. Whose side am I on? I’m with Twitter user Molly Grimes, @foodstove , who tweeted “I dont know how to break it to you guys but.... Starbucks cups never had Christian symbols on them............snowflakes aren't Christmas...” You’re right Grimes, snowflakes are not Christmas, reindeer exist all the time, ornaments are also used during Mardi Gras, and Frosty the Snowman does not just pop up for Christmas. He sticks around all winter because that’s what smart snowmen do. And as for Santa? Donald Trump even took time out of a recent campaign in Illinois to comment on Starbucks’ red cups, and said that he wasn’t sure if Starbucks should be boycotted. Well, I’m sure that they shouldn’t be. If Starbucks is going to be boycotted for anything let it be because their drive-thru is always backed up in the morning, or because a ten dollar gift card only last one visit, or because their “tall” cappuccino isn’t all
that tall, it’s basically bite-sized. Now that’s the kind of stuff that actually matters. Starbucks’ red cups have not just created a Starbucks against Christians campaign, but a Starbucks against Dunkin Doughnuts, against people who have too much time on their hands to care about such a thing campaign. In a statement as posted by CNBC, Dunkin Donuts said, "For many years Dunkin' Donuts has served coffee in festive cups featuring the word 'joy' as part of our annual celebration of the season and holiday offerings.” This is Dunkin’ Donuts way of saying that their new holiday cup is not a jab at Starbucks, but rather a tradition that that they have always had. Sure, Dunkin’ Donuts, whatever you say.
civilians; a heartbreaking tragedy. Another 300 were injured, 99 of those critically. It was a normal Friday night for me as well, and I was equally shocked and horrified when the news flashed across my television screen. Many Americans felt this way, expressing their sadness and sympathy by claiming solidarity for Paris on social media and spearheading prayer campaigns. My heart broke for Paris when I found out the number of the lost. I felt sick; 129 innocent lives were taken too soon, simply because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Families and communities were broken because of the damage the eight terrorists caused. Revenge was enacted on innocent people who had no real ties to the war that was going on around them. We, as Americans, are all too familiar with this type of tragedy after the 9/11 attacks. Loss is one of the most painful obstacles to overcome, especially when as unexpectedly brutal as were the attacks in Paris. I just can not comprehend how attacking innocents could ever be conceived as a worthy war cause. My thoughts immediately flashed to our own students who are studying abroad in Bologna, Italy; we all have friends over there. Bologna is a short ten-hour distance from Paris. If our students had happened to take
a weekend trip to Paris, their names just as easily could have been included in among with the other lost. Its scary to think about how close our own little school was to tragedy. It was a blessing that none of our students, friends, and peers were there when tragedy struck. The following morning, ISIS claimed responsibility for the tragedy, claiming revenge for French airstrikes in Syria. France, in return, declared its own revenge for their fallen. In his statement, President Francois Hollande said, “We will lead the fight, and we will be ruthless.” An understandable reaction, I think, when considering the magnitude of their hurt and loss. France, being the U.S.’s oldest ally, was immediately met with support from the American people. President Obama declared the U.S.’s assistance to France in whatever areas they may need. A war on terrorism has been declared, and as France’s ally, we are all to be affected by it here in America. Already, there have been debates over letting Syrian refugees settle here in the U.S. Some citizen’s express sympathy for the refugees, begging others not to harden their hearts to the need that we are seeing in these refugees. The majority of Americans, however, are taking up opposite positions. People are scared that, if the refugees are allowed to stay, we won’t be able to distinguish

Terrorism, War and Refugees; The Aftermath of Paris
By: Sierra Curtis Web Designer On Nov. 13 2015, tragedy struck in Paris. I was a normal Friday night for the Parisians; some gathered in the sports stadium to watch the Francs Vs. Germany soccer game, some were at bars or restaurants with their friends, and some were enjoying the Eagles of Death Metal concert. Suddenly, there were explosions and gunfire. Chaos ensued. In a span of just forty minutes, eight ISIS terrorists attacked six different Parisian venues, resulting in the the (confirmed) deaths of 129 innocent
the wolves in sheep clothing from the actual sheep. How are we to know if some of the refugees are terrorists, smuggled in to attack us as they did in Paris? I understand both sides of the debate, and my heart is pulled simultaneously in both directions. As a student of Spring Hill, a school that has a mission to service of others, I feel sympathy for the refugees. It seems morally wrong, somehow, to refuse them. As someone who has family and friends who could be effected, however, my mind flashes to Paris. That could easily happen here, should the situation be exploited, and suddenly I’m not sure which decision is better. I’m in debate with myself, as many Americans are with each other. Alabama’s governor, Robert Bentley, has expressed his views towards the refugees. In his statement, Bentley was quoted saying "After full consideration of this weekend's attacks of terror on innocent citizens in Paris, I will oppose any attempt to relocate Syrian refugees to Alabama through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.” This appeased the general Alabama public, but the real worry here is power. Can a state governor’s decision outweigh the decisions of the higher government? Only time will tell. In the meantime, it is my hope that we can come together as a community and pray for peace.

Justin Bieber Released His Newest Album “Purpose”
By: Harper McNutt Reporter
After a three year break since his last album “Believe,” Bieber is back with a more mature sound than before. For the first time Bieber teamed up with electronic musicians Skrillex and Diplo, giving him a different sound than the R&B and hip hop driven “Believe.” The lead single from “Purpose,” “What Do You Mean?” was released in late August. It’s a techno dance beat that mixes well with Bieber’s smooth R&B voice. Friday the world was introduced to 12 other Justin Bieber songs, including the second hit single released, “Sorry” a pop ballad that has a techno and island rhythm, and many people are thinking it is directed toward Bieber’s ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez. There was even more excitement surrounding
the album because of Bieber’s Beyoncé-like move of dropping a music video every hour on Saturday to accompany each song from “Purpose.” I have never been a huge Justin Bieber fan but I think Purpose is a good album and is Bieber’s best musical work yet. When “What Do You Mean?” was released I did not like it immediately. But I found myself eventually singing along to it and adding it to my playlist. . The second single that was released before Purpose, “Where Are U Now” a collaboration with Skrillex and Diplo has been very popular the past few months. With this album being produced by Skrillex and being mostly club and techno beats Bieber is making the style much more mainstream. I usually do not like techno music but I like a lot of
these songs because of the combination with Bieber’s voice. My ab-
along, especially after seeing the music video that has several female
solute favorite off the album is “Sorry”, after listening to it for the first time this weekend I liked it right away. I think it has potential to be Bieber’s most popular and successful song. It makes people want to sing and dance
dancers in bright and neon clothes dancing and seeming to have the time of their lives. Only three of the music videos released actually include Bieber, which I think shows his maturity by wanting to be more artistic
than showcasing himself. There are a few songs that don’t have an electronic sound like the piano ballads, “Purpose” and “Life is Worth Living.” “Purpose” is set to be one of the most popular albums of the year. If it sells as expected it will earn Bieber his largest sales yet. It has already taken the lead over One Direction’s “Made in the A.M.” that also dropped on Friday. Both are battling for No. 1 on next week’s Billboard 200 albums chart, with Bieber currently in the lead. With the already large success of “Purpose” as well as the many positive reviews, it seems that the world is witnessing the comeback of Justin Bieber. Although this is his first album in the past three years he has publicly been very present in the media. In the past three years he has been
arrested, had a very public break up, abandoned his pet monkey, yelled at multiple talk show hosts and fans, egged his neighbor’s house, then requested his own Comedy Central Roast for his 21st birthday party, which was viewed as Bieber’s way to show that he’s ready to move on from the crazy spectacles he is known for having. As he said at the roast and in press interviews for “Purpose” he hopes that people can start taking him seriously as a musician and not just a troubled child star. This album is being seen as Bieber’s apology to his fans, showing everyone that he is ready to grow up. He sings in “Sorry” “Is it too late to say I’m sorry now?” and it seems that it’s never too late for Justin Bieber to say sorry.
Spring Hill Student Enhancement Fund Aims To Raise $200,000 By: Fernando Soto Reporter The Student Enhancement Projects Fund at Spring Hill College is projected to reach $200,000 by Dec., 31. The fund has been established to enhance the student experience at Spring Hill. Fred Salancy, VicePresident of Advancement for the college, said that the fund was in the works around this time last year. Vice-President of Student Affairs, Rosalie Carpenter, worked in conjunction with the Office of Advancement and the Finance Department to make this fund a reality for students. The fund has budgeted for different programs including the Badger Trolley, extended library hours, and improvements in the living spaces. An anonymous donor agreed to donate $70,000 if the college could raise the initial $130,000 by the end of 2015. Salancy said, "We are getting close to our goal. If we remain very positive we will reach it by the end of this year." The majority of the support thus far has come from current
Spring Hill students' parents and alumnus' parents. "They look at the projects and say this is good," added Salancy. 50 to 60 percent of the donor pool for this fund is made up of
new donors. The biggest investment so far has been the Career Services Center. Salancy says that he hopes to be able to expand this fund in the future. The campus community has already
begun to see some of the impacts of this fund such as the extended hours in the library, a fire pit at McLean Plaza, and picnic tables and grills in residence halls. Other projects to be
$25,000. The re-branding would include new patio furniture with an outdoor cafe perimeter. Salancy said the fund is a "great way for the whole college to look at how concentrated investments of philanthropic dollars can impact the students". In a brochure sent out by the Office of Advancement, parents Tom and Karen Novak said, "We think the college experience extends beyond the classroom and even beyond the students. Parents play a vital role in the college experience by showing their enthusiasm for their student's choice of Spring Hill. We want to be involved, informed and instrumental in advancing the mission of the College and the experience of its students."

Womens Basketball Looks to Turn Some Heads
By: Jarrett Calhoun Reporter
It’s that time of year again; basketball season has arrived. The Spring Hill College Lady Badgers are looking to improve from their 14-12 record from the last academic year. This season, the team has 11 returners and 5 new additions; the majority of their players are still here so that will help them have experience on the court. “Our preseason was tough on us mentally and physically, but we knew it was preparing us for what lies ahead,” said Natalie Harper, a senior guard. The head coach Karen McConico and two seniors, Armanee and Natalie talked about the importance of senior leadership. “Being a senior lead-

Natalie Harper. Senior guard, Armanee Broussard added, “Being a leader means you have to be focused all the time and I can’t get caught slipping off my game. So I take being a senior leader as a privilege and a challenge at the same time.” “They can be my voice in the locker room and out on the floor.” Says coach McConico.Some of the lady badgers talked about what their expectations were for the team this year. ”I expect our team to be better than we have ever been. We have a lot more pieces on this year’s team that can help us get to where we want to be,” Armanee said. My expectations for this team is to be one of the best in our conference. We have a lot of talent and poten-
tial, so I am expecting great things this year,” Natalie continued. “I expect this team to have a good year. We finally have a veteran lead team so I am hopeful that the experience will help us in the long run. We are working daily to get better, we have a tough non-conference schedule that will prepare us for conference play,” coach McConico added. Coach McConico also talked about how this team is different; “I have a group of young ladies I enjoy coaching every day. So this is a special team and we are going to do some great things this year.” The lady badgers have their home opener this Friday, November 20th, at 6 p.m. against West Alabama.
New Baseball Platform Plan Undecided for Now
By: Jack Culotta Jr. Reporter The recent baseball platform proposal by the Student Government Association (SGA) awaits further action by the athletic department. The preliminary plan is to have a raised platform that will hold an exclusive seating section along the third-base side of the Historic Stan Galle Field behind the away team’s dugout. Though the SGA stated they plan to
the athletic department must decide if building the platform is economically feasible. “Logistically,” Hall added, “from a construction and administrative standpoint, I hope the platform will be ready for the spring season.” Junior William North came up with the idea of the baseball platform and proposed it to SGA a month ago.
