Caroline Cusick Soars with Private Pilot’s License Kate Huete | Reporter Spring Hill College junior Caroline Cusick had her hard work pay off when she earned her private pilot’s license on Jan. 31. Cusick decided over a year ago that she wanted to pursue a career as a pilot, and has been taking lessons ever since. The newly licensed Cusick has already
flown from Huntsville to Tullahoma and from Mobile to Gulfport by herself, but she doesn’t plan on stopping there. Cusick’s dad was in the Navy and was deployed with the Marines as a flight surgeon, so flying has always been a big part of her life.

Cusick added, “I told my dad I should be a flight attendant or something and he said, ‘Why be a flight attendant? Be a pilot’.” With the strong support of her family and friends, Cusick switched from nursing to business, and joined the Part 61 aviation program Cusick sits in the cockpit of her plane. which requires her to earn her private, instrument, com- Photo: Kate Huete mercial single-engine and the final exam, but most people have commercial multi-engine licenses. more. “The more you fly, the shorter Her goal is to become either a flight it’ll take, but it’s different for everyinstructor or a skydiving plane pilot. one,” Wallace said.

CSI Modifies 2018 Badger Connection Process Breanne Bizette | Reporter The 2018 Badger Connection team of Spring Hill College has recently begun its application process, while rebuilding its program in hopes of increasing student applications. Many have seen their purple polo shirts and pictures in the cafeteria, but they are most known for their smiling faces that greet incoming freshmen during the summer. The Badger Connection guides are back and are preparing for one freshmen orientation this summer. Center for Student Involvement Director Joy Morris (previously held by Mike Freyaldenhoven until Monday), Assistant Director Katelyn Whitty and SHC junior interns Iriel Evans and Emilee Adams are the ones calling the shots: they will be choosing the best applicants for this year’s Badger Connection. BC guide applications were originally due Feb. 1, but it was extended to Feb. 15 after CSI announced that it would be conducting one major SHC students Madeleine Naquin, Maddy Freese orientation in August instead of several.

Further, once students turn in their applications, CSI will schedule one-on-one interviews with them meant to last a minimum of 30 minutes. Although many may apply, the team is hoping to select about 26 guides. Adams stated that they are looking for a mixture of students, a group that will represent every aspect of campus life. The program is also changing another factor to maintain a high number of student applications. Instead of requiring guides to spend a month training on campus over the summer, there will be two training sessions held: one in March and one in August. This change will benefit students who would like to complete internships or work during the summer. Further, this change will not affect the salary of the guides. Overall, the team continues to make improvements this year. Evans said that she and Adams are working extremely hard to rebuild the program and make it something that students want to participate in. With increased applications, this has left the Badger Connection team feeling hopeful.

SGA Proposes Amendment to Endorsement Policy Kate Huete | Reporter Spring Hill College’s Student Government Association has made plans to change its endorsement policy for future candidates. SGA Attorney General Dylan Mire and the class presidents have been working to amend the election code in the constitution. This change would enable candidates to be endorsed by campus organizations without penalty, which could have many benefits for the candidate and the student body as a whole. With the current policy, there is zero tolerance for endorsements at all. If an organization states in any way that it supports a specific candidate, then that candidate would be penalized. The candidate would most likely suffer a 15 percent vote reduction and could possibly be disqualified. Even if an organization endorses a candidate without the candidate’s knowledge, the candidate would still be penalized. Mire has been at the forefront of this proposed change. He stated, “We hope that this amendment, and all of the proposed amendments, can help enhance the student experience on cam-
pus.” The possible new amendment would explain how organizations could properly endorse their candidate, and how SGA should handle certain situations if something were to go wrong. If the amendment is passed by the student body, SGA plans to have forms available for organizations that wish to endorse a candidate. After being filled out, these forms must be signed by the organization’s president. The form also requires the candidate’s signature, so that the candidate is aware of who will be endorsing them. After being properly filled out, the form is sent to the attorney general and regulations board for approval. There will also be certain rules that come with endorsing a candidate. Organizations may only endorse one candidate, and must wait for their form to be approved before making any social media posts or statements about their chosen candidate. Before reaching the student body, the amendment was proposed twice before SGA. When it was first presented to SGA, some debated letting
the candidate have a say in who will endorse them, which is why the candidate’s signature line was added: to ensure that the candidate is aware of and approves of the organization’s endorsement. Once the signature line was added, SGA passed the amendment on its second proposal. The amendment change was up for vote among the student body on Feb. 20. Check out newswire. shc.edu for results.

Students Intrigued by Stock Market and Finances Rebecca Bankston | Reporter Through involvement in the stock market and use of mobile apps, such as Mint, students are improving their understanding of money management and future investments. Financial planning is one of the most difficult parts of growing up and entering adulthood. Many college students have a hard time learning how to budget themselves and manage their spending. However, students can cut unnecessary spending by prioritizing items in their daily lives. Students should create a monthly budget to keep track of funds and to save up for big purchases or “rainy days.” Most students don’t always have time for a job or are limited by other obligations, so investing in the stock market is a great way to generate a small income. According to Dr. Anindya Biswas, a Spring Hill College finance and economics professor, “There is no good or bad time, the stock market is always changing.” At the start of 2018, the market was very strong, it even skyrocketed the Dow Jones industrial average, but lately it has been in a slump. Although this seems worrisome,

market cycles constantly change. The stock market can have good days and bad days, but people overall receive good returns for their money. When asked what the best investments were for students, Biswas stated, “Never put all of your eggs in one basket. It’s called market diversification. Spread out which stocks you buy and don’t invest all of your money in one thing.” It may seem like a precarious game, but there are simple stocks that do not pose too much of a financial risk. Starting small and growing your existing assets is the best way to ensure financial stability. This allows students to invest and generate income without risking too much. SHC junior Matt Mimlitz stated, “Mostly, I just invest in the S&P 500 because it’s safe and has consistent growth. It helps me a lot because I’m able to get a good idea of how the market works.” Although it seems easy to get into the stock market, there are certain factors and risks that students should be aware of before investing. Biswas advised that certain aspects of financial independence should be established first. He stat-

ed, “Students need to have a basic understanding of their own finances and should always start small. Go with mutual funds or the S&P 500, then move on from there, investing a little bit more over time. They must set up their IRA account or like a Roth IRA account. If you have any kind of income, you can set up an IRA account; meaning, you’re in the lowest tax bracket and don’t have to pay taxes when withdrawing money.” Additionally, modern technological advancements have made financial planning easier through apps like Mint. This new app tracks what you spend by syncing your bank accounts, stocks, credit cards and bills, and provides users a savings and investment projection chart. Mint uses this data to show users how much they should be saving and what times are the best for investing. The app is designed to make it easier for young adults to budget, invest in the stock market and save for the future. Whether it’s trying to get into investments, or just saving money day-to-day, starting small is a great way to build up equity.

Fergie Draws Criticism for the National Anthem Walter Massey | Reporter The National Anthem is an important aspect of American culture. Also known as the “Star-Spangled Banner,” it can be heard before sporting events, like the Olympics, or before morning announcements at some grade schools. Further, it is an honor to be asked to sing the National Anthem at a premier sporting event that is broadcast live and globally. Consider the NFL’s Super Bowl, people tune in early before kickoff to listen to a beautiful voice sing America’s beautiful song.
This past weekend, on Sunday, Feb. 18, a premier sporting event was broadcast on TNT: the NBA All-Star Game, which took place in Los Angeles, California, at the Staples Center. Fans worldwide look forward to this yearly game that allows their favorite basketball stars to go headto-head. This event caps an entire weekend of festivities which include fan favorites such as the dunk contest and the three-point shootout. Pop sensation Fergie was given the honor of singing the “Star-Spangled Banner” at the Staples Center. Fergie is known for her soulful voice which can be heard in her hit “Big Girls Don’t Cry.” As she approached center court and began to sing the National Anthem, people were no longer gracing her with applause and cheers, but with laughter. Fergie’s rendition of the National Anthem was
not her best. As her voice cracked and her tune changed every few words, the camera panned over players who were struggling not to laugh. The crowd graced her with applause when she finished, but there was obvious discomfort in the audience. Although Fergie left the court with a smile and friendly waves, several immediately criticized her less than savory performance. The Hollywood Reporter wrote an article titled, “Viewers Slam Fergie’s National Anthem Performance at NBA All-Star Game as Worst Rendition Ever.” Fox News reported that Fergie admitted it was a mess. Fergie has earned a reputation as a soulful singer, and it’s expected that she will not let this destroy her career. But inside the Staples Center, nobody will ever forget that Fergie’s rendition of the “Star-Spangled Banner” was a disaster.

“Black Panther” Dominates 2018 and Box Office
Emily Creasy | Reporter The wait is finally over! “Black Panther” is now playing in a theater near you. After much anticipation, the film was released Feb. 16. Over the course of Presidents’ Day weekend, “Black Panther” was nothing short of success. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie had the best February opening weekend of all time, as well as the fifth-largest three-day opening weekend in box-office history with just under $202 million. The film, directed by Ryan Coogler, also became the top-grossing film in history by a black director featuring a predominantly black cast. Ryan Noble, a Spring Hill College digital video production instructor, said he is impressed with Marvel’s ability to transcend racial demographics for the film. Noble said, “Most films with predominantly black casts and black directors are specifically targeting a black audience and rarely are they marketed to a more general audience.” However, Noble noted that no film in this category “has approached the level of financial success that ‘Black Panther’ has already achieved and will ultimately
achieve.” This is a proud moment for the movie’s cast and crew. The film stars Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa (aka the Black Panther) as he returns home to Wakanda, a hidden, technologically advanced African nation that is rich in a precious, versatile metal known as vibranium. Other cast members include Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, Forest Whitaker and Angela Bassett. There is no better time for the film’s release than during Black History Month. The commitment to authenticity regarding African culture and traditions is shown throughout the film. At several “Black Panther” showings, fans dressed in traditional and modern African styles. Accompanying the star-studded film, “Black Panther: The Soundtrack” features songs from some of today’s most popular artists. Eleven-time Grammy winner Kendrick Lamar helped curate and produce the album alongside Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith. With the help of featured artists, such as SZA, The Weeknd and Khalid, the
soundtrack debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. In just a matter of days, “Black Panther” has made an outstanding impact. The film is proof that a superhero movie is not required to have two hours of constant fight scenes to achieve success. Noble believes the success could be fueled by “the share of the black movie-going audience that may not typically go to superhero movies, but have found something very attractive in this film.” According to Comscore, the audience was 37 percent African American, 35 percent Caucasian and 18 percent Hispanic. Noble added, “The white movie-going audience doesn’t seem to be uninterested in a film with a mostly-black cast, black director and setting in Africa.” Instead, the film’s message about the importance of unity and representation is the biggest takeaway for moviegoers. Just as blacks and communities are uplifted, the film places several women in empowering positions. Female characters, such as Shuri (T’Challa’s sister), serve as great role models for young children.
Students Get Creative SHC Profile: Brenda Cooper Emily Buck | Reporter
Spring Hill College students have created SHC-themed Instagram pages to convey positive messages to students and boost school spirit. One of the most recent themed accounts is Humans of Spring Hill (@humansofspringhill). Creator and SHC junior Katy Rasp said, “I wanted to create this page because I felt that there were many people in the Spring Hill community who deserved to be highlighted.” Humans of Spring Hill posts about professors, cleaning staff, maintenance workers, cafeteria workers and more on its page in appreciation of their work around campus. Mr. Calvin, who works in the student center, was the first person featured. Rasp is a member of SHC’s Student Government Association, and SGA came up with the idea for the page. Rasp noted, “One of our goals for the year was to get the students to get to know the employees across campus, not just their teachers, but the people who work behind the scenes.”

Track and Field Team Pumped for the New Season Kori Willbourn | Reporter Approaching its sixth season, Spring Hill College’s track and field team is preparing to compete in one of its most challenging seasons starting on March 2-3 at the University of South Alabama. The SHC track and field team will compete in every track and field event this season, which features sprints (100 thru 400), middle-distance (800 thru 10,000-meter and the 3,000-meter steeplechase), throws (javelin, hammer, discus, shot put), horizontal jumps (long, triple jump), vertical jumps (high jump pole vault) and the multi-event (heptathlon). The team will begin its season with a meet at the University of South Alabama on March 2. The team’s head coach, Craig McVey, said, “We expect to do well against the NCAA Division I-III schools that will be there. We’ve made huge strides in developing a well-rounded team throughout the years. This year, we’re looking to take our program to a place where we’ll be ready a year from now to challenge for a SIAC Outdoor Championship for both teams.” McVey went on to provide the team’s strengths for the season: “We’re pretty well-balanced, so we
should see great marks from every event area. Our javelin throwers, Matt Root and Korinne Sauvage, have competed on some big stages, so as seniors, they should really be ready to go. Senior thrower Shyan Campfield has had a great preseason...she’s ready. Senior Aswan Duncan should have a great season in the 400-meter...and crush our school record. Senior Nicole Kotval is our school record holder at 5,000-meter and at different distances in cross country and will have a great year in the 800-meter, 1500-meter and 5,000-meter.” The team will travel to six different schools to compete this season. McVey provided the locations: “We’ll open our season at South Alabama on March 2-3, and later on the 16-17, then Birmingham Southern, Montevallo for the Falcon Classic and back here in Mobile for the UMobile invational, followed by the McNeese State Spring Classic in Lake Charles, Louisiana. In the middle of April, we’ll either be at Georgia Tech in Atlanta for their huge invitational or at Duke in Durham, North Carolina, for an even bigger Duke invitational.” Matt Root, a senior javelin and discus thrower, stated his favorite
part about competing: “My favorite part of competing is the adrenaline rush that comes from being in stressful situations.” Root provided his thoughts on how he expects to do in his first meet and what he looks forward to most about the upcoming season: “I expect to start off the season with a strong mark and hopefully win. This is the toughest first meet we’ve had since I have been at SHC. The first meet is at South Alabama, which will have multiple D1 schools that will
really push me as well as the rest of our team to do our absolute best. For myself, this season is my last chance to really show myself what I can do. I have been really pushing myself the past few years and I believe it will really pay off. Therefore, I hope to break my previous school record in the javelin and to perform to the best of my ability in my final season.” Be sure to support your SHC track and field team at their first meet at USA on March 2-3.
