SGA Election Ends with Dernlan-Morgan Amelia Hoffeld and Caroline Weishaar | Reporters After two weeks of prepping and campaigning, the Spring Hill College Student Government Association (SGA) 2019 presidential and vice presidential elections resulted in juniors Cade Dernlan and Griffin Morgan winning as president and vice president, respectively. Both elected members agreed on their feelings and concerns about being new members of the SGA team, Vice President-elect Morgan said, “We know there will be a learning curve, but I think we are both ready for that challenge.” The two of them expressed their determination for crossing the bridge to learning the ropes of the job. Dernlan explained that any of their concerns has become motivation to fulfill their roles and platform, he added, “I’m excited to encounter challenges that we
have yet to consider and we are looking forward to finding new and innovative ways to tackle those challenges.” When questioned about how they plan on achieving a better relationship with the administration, Dernlan said, “We look forward to collaborating with Kevin Abel (Vice President of Student Affairs). But really, we want to ensure that students and faculty are both heard by the administration.” He explained his intentions to establish better relationships with multiple school programs in his hopes to “ensure that all organizations on campus operate in a more synergetic fashion.” The two elects hope to fulfill their progressive platform by implementing new initiatives, Morgan proceeded to explain, “The most passionate thing for us is the student mentorship program. We really think it will help
out and it’s a pretty endemic problem we have here.” Looking into the future, after the 2019 term concludes, the elected candidates would like to see increased campus involvement, on-campus enrollment and higher retention rates. During the upcoming weeks, the new cabinet will shadow under the present SGA cabinet. Dernlan and Morgan elaborated on their chosen cabinet for the new term, emphasizing that their cabinet will include a diverse group of experienced individuals of different involvements. Dernlan expressed that they “are excited to introduce a cabinet that not only boasts prior SGA experience, but that also boasts individuals who have gone above and beyond in leadership positions on this campus.” As April 4 approaches for

and developments all over campus. Six new buildings, including three residence halls, and Burke Library were built in addition to renovations of 12 existing buildings. In addition to the beautification of the campus, Fr. Lucey also helped increase undergraduate enrollment
from 850 to over 1300 as well as heighten the college’s reputation around Mobile. He worked to form a lasting relationship between Spring Hill College and its surrounding community. Fr. Lucey described the college as being somewhat isolated from the neighboring area, saying his goal was to “invite Mobile to be part of Spring Hill and for Spring Hill to be a part of Mobile.” For these improvements, the city named him Mobilian of the Year in 2005. Fr. Lucey became an ordained Jesuit priest in 1964. “60 years ago when I was a young Jesuit, at 26 years old, they gave me my first chance to be in charge. I was working in a boy’s boarding school, and they had me in charge
Fr. Lucey Retires as Chancellor Sydnie Lee | Reporter
After dedicating 22 years to Spring Hill as both president and chancellor, Rev. Gregory F. Lucey, SJ has stepped down from his fulltime duties at the college. Fr. Lucey came to Spring Hill in 1997 and took on the role of the 37th president of the college. He left the college in 2009 to be head of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities in Washington. Spring Hill later appointed Fr. Lucey as chancellor in 2013, but he resumed his duty as president a few months later. He became chancellor once again in 2015 and remained in that position until recently. When Fr. Lucey first arrived at Spring Hill, the college’s campus was in great need of an update and had
$50 million of deferred maintenance. When speaking of his initial plans for Spring Hill, Fr. Lucey said, “I was looking for a challenge, but I didn’t really realize the significance of the challenge.” During his presidency, Fr. Lucey remarkably revitalized Spring Hill with restorations
of the freshmen with other young Jesuits. 60 years later, I’m saying ‘I think it’s time for me not to be in charge,’” said Fr. Lucey. Fr. Lucey will remain on Spring Hill’s campus and continue to carry out many of the same duties he did previously such as conducting mission formations, running faculty seminars, holding masses and working with the administration to recruit new faculty. Fr. Lucey facilitates a wisdom group every two weeks with a group of senior students. Ashlyn Adams, a member of his wisdom group, said “Fr. Lucey will always have a mark on Spring Hill College whether he is chancellor or just working in the background sharing his wisdom with students.”

After seeing the damage that the Lee County tornadoes caused, which killed nearly two dozen people and left very little in their path, freshmen Nicolas Johnson and Kathryn Weatherspoon knew they needed to jump into action. “They went through devastating tornadoes that took away 23 very important lives and had many different impacts on this state and even this country,” Johnson said. “With our mission statement here at Spring Hill College being to serve others in the best way possible, I just felt that we were obligated to help out in any way we could and we felt that this was the best way to do it. When I contacted organizations that
could take what we gave, they said the main thing that they needed at the moment was blankets, so I said, ‘why not start a blanket drive?’ and that is how we got going.” Johnson knew the demand was high and that he needed to act fast; he was quickly joined by another freshman, Kathryn Weatherspoon, who knew she could help promote the drive. “The weather in Alabama is constantly changing and we’re trying to meet the need that they are about to have with cold fronts. So, we’re not asking a whole lot of people, but just do what you can to help, even if it is just telling your friends and family about it,” Weatherspoon said.

The Spring Hill College Campus Community is mourning the loss of a student. Spring Hill College announced Monday morning that a student passed away in the New Hall dormitory. In a campus email, President Joe Lee commented, “We ask our entire community to pray for this student’s family and friends. We are heartbroken.” Ashley Rains, SHC’s director of media and public relations, said that the student’s death was the result of natural causes. Students, staff and faculty gathered to pay their respects Monday afternoon at mass and a prayer service. Father Mark Mossa, S.J., director of Campus Ministry,
and Colleen Lee, campus minister for service and retreats, led the service, giving students the opportunity to speak about the student, or mourn in silence. As of now the College’s main focus is to provide support for the students. Spring Hill is offering resources for students who need someone to talk to during this time. The Wellness Center is offering counseling services via appointment or walk-ins. Campus Ministry will also be offering pastoral services, students can contact Father Mark Mossa for further information. The identify of the student is being withheld until all of the family members have been notified.
You don’t need to leave the hill now to see some great art on display. Recently, the Graphic Design II class put their posters on display in the Bedsole Gallery in the Murphy Fine Arts Center. Although these posters may appear to be just pretty, there is a lot more behind them than you may think. Graphic Design II instructor Janden Richards said the “idea behind this assignment is I send them to look up info about the history of poster design and famous graphic designers, both past and contemporary.” Along with this, Richards urged her students to “make contact with professionals in the field” if they were going to base their posters on current design.
Richards proudly explained that one of her students, senior Maria Delgado, actually received advice from a Venezuelan graphic designer of whom Delgado is a fan when she contacted them. One of the posters that also stands out was made by junior Joanna Dembowski. She wanted to give the visual impression of organized chaos and to do this, she said “I based my first poster, Acid Aesthetic on the 1960’s and 1970’s poster design styles, combining hand drawn type . . . with photographs.” This blending of elements and styles gives it a striking and unique appearance. These posters will be on display in the picturesque Bedsole Gallery on the first

Volume 108, Issue 4
Amelia Hoffeld | Reporter
It was just an ordinary Wednesday until the largest #firstworldproblem happened on March 13, 2019: Instagram, Facebook, and other social media platforms shut down for over 12 hours. According to CNN Business, the outage ran across the globe ranging from the U.S., Central and South America and Europe. Funny enough, I actually had no idea of this event
until that evening. An article from Forbes confirmed that users claimed and reported failures of loading pages and logging in with a following error message. Did they try turning it off and back on again? As hard as it is to believe, it was much more than just resetting your phone. Frustration grew amongst public users and advertisers as well. When social media goes down, the advertising morale is not far behind. Companies lost money through the luck of advertising through these media platforms. According to CNN Business, frustrations led to concerns of a “distributed denial of service (DDos) attack—a type of hack in which attackers flood a company’s network” which were assumed after
“
the blackout. Facebook confirmed from a tweet that this was not the case.
Did they try turning it off and back on again?
”
After scrolling through both conglomerates’ newsroom pages, it was concerning to notice no press releases were written about the problem. Facebook and Instagram both turned to their rival, Twitter, to update the public. How ironic. Facebook tweeted the following day,
“Yesterday, as a result of a server configuration change, many people had trouble accessing our apps and services.” Twitter thrived that day with several humorous tweets and memes blowing up users’ feed with comedic relief in light of the event. Meanwhile, MySpace probably longed at the chance of a comeback. From a public relations standpoint, it definitely took several hours too long for Facebook’s PR team to roll out an explanation of the issues, and Facebook did not go into enough depth about the reasoning of the problems. I think this looked sketchy and concerning for users and companies, confirming their right to think it was an attack. Alongside a source from ABC News, I agree that a lack
of transparency with such a dominant company does not look appealing when dealing with advertisers and partnerships. In addition to Facebook privacy issues, this shutdown has become yet another publicity concern for this growing conglomerate. Yet, very few of us will actually stop to lift ourselves free of social media. Somehow and some way on the day of the internet blackout, people continued about their daily lives interacting face to face, not filtering their meals and soaking in the scene just for their eyes only. After much troubleshooting, the social media platforms were back in business the following morning.
From Fuller House to the Big House Jack Gravolet | Reporter
Many Americans want nothing more than for their children to succeed in gradeschool so they can attend a prestigious university. In our society, it is almost a universally held belief that if you excel in high school, you can use your merits to attend a top university and go on to have a great life and career because of this. This core societal belief was recently shattered into a million pieces with the emergence of several celebrities bribing college officials
EDITORIAL POLICY:
to get their kids admitted into the nation’s top schools. Perhaps the most infamous of these cases was with “Fuller House” actress Lori Loughlin. Her college admissions case is the perfect storm of celebrity, wealth, influence and power used to an unfair advantage. The thing that may make this case even more of a firestorm than it already is, is the fact that Loughlin was never known to play the villain in any of her roles. Loughlin is not accused of just slight bribery either. She did not slip somebody a $20 and pat them on the wrist, asking for a favor. Instead, according to CNN, she has a $1 million bond set because she and her husband are accused of paying bribes totaling $500,000 to have their daughters admitted to the University of Southern California.
Reflecting society’s shock over this, twitter user Chrissy B tweeted, “Lori Loughlin and SCAM do not belong in the same sentence??? Aunt Becky would never.” Even though Loughlin had a wholesome presence on television, her real-life actions suggest otherwise. Adding insult to injury, many of these cases, including Loughlin’s, also had their children pretending to be student athletes in order to guarantee admission. According to the NCAA, in all three divisions, over 50% of student athletes receive scholarships. Many students count on their athletic ability as a way to pay for higher education and guarantee admission. Meanwhile, Loughlin’s daughters, according to CNN, were admitted as members of the rowing team. Neither of them row, but their parents took their

picture on a rowing machine and that was good enough for the bribe. Additional outrage stems from the fact that, according to their online presence, Loughlin’s daughters could not care less about their education. According to People. com, her daughter, Oliva’s former classmate opened up after the scandal broke saying she was never in class, ran a YouTube channel while her classmates drowned in homework and made a video in which she said she only wanted to go to college for the parties. It is my belief what makes Loughlin’s case stand out from all the other celebrity cheating scandals in the unique multitude of factors at play. It’s almost as if this is the equivalent of the OJ Simpson trial but not for murder, for fraud. OJ’s trial caught so much attention
SUBMISSIONS:
because it sat at the intersection of race, celebrity, privilege, wealth and power. This case sits at all of those points except race. The fury and backlash over this case is fully understandable, and even in fact, I sympathize and am also outraged at this. Millions of teenagers spend almost their whole time in high school sweating over if they will be able to get into a top college, and then when they get in they wonder how can they ever afford it? Meanwhile, two girls in California who have probably spent their entire lives not wanting, including the absence of a desire for education, coasted into one of the nation’s top schools on a golden toll road of wealth and privilege. And, the half a million dollar toll on this golden road was paid by none other than sweet and innocent Aunt Becky.

JET Explores the Immigration Issue Emma Carroll | Reporter
12 students traveled to El Paso, Texas on the Jesuit Experience Trip (JET) to learn about immigration March 1-7. During their trip, the students spoke with immigrants, border patrol agents
and other volunteers to become educated on immigration statistics and issues first hand. Students were immersed directly into the community through a series of visits throughout the
week, giving them insight on this polarizing issue that our nation is currently facing. Senior Emilee Adams said, “Our JET trip was looking at immigration, and it wasn’t so much to do service,

it was to learn about what is going on. We are hearing about it on the news every day and so we all just wanted to know what is really up. Is it actually a national emergency or is it just a crisis? It was to figure out how we could define it.” Senior SarahBeth Hyde expanded on that by saying, “The biggest issue I saw was how the media portrays the issue because if you read some news outlets they’ll say there is an immigration crisis. So while El Paso is the second biggest port of entry city, the city was thriving, it was doing really well. You never felt you were in a place that was under crisis.” As immigrants enter the United States, even their shoelaces are taken for safety measures. Hyde discovered that shoelaces are one of the most desired items upon the release for these immigrants because they are taken from them. Senior Julianne Salancy told a story about a man named Carlos who person-
ally asked her if there were any spare shoelaces he could have. Salancy found an extra set of shoelaces and brought them to Carlos to surprise him. Salancy said, “It was one of the most heartwarming moments. It was just a reality check for me to think about all of the blessings I have and to realize that something so small can mean so much.” The students worked with other volunteers to clean the spaces where immigrants would stay. Hyde noticed how the immigrants would offer their assistance with cleaning the rooms even though there were already volunteers, saying, “They were nothing but kind and thankful and so giving of themselves.” The Jesuit Experience Trip is having a fundraiser at O’Daly’s Irish Pub Thursday, March 21 from 9-11 p.m. 10% of all sales will be benefiting their recent border experience to El Paso, Texas. You must be 21 or over to attend.
SGA’s Health Week Promotes Healthy Living Caroline Weishaar | Reporter During the week of March 4, freshman class senators Mary Grace Sullivan and Macy Heroman led the Student Government Association’s Healthy Lifestyle Week initiatives. Sullivan said, “The goal of the week was to essentially promote healthy lifestyles throughout campus from eating to living.” The week’s initiatives included yoga classes and healthier options in the caf. “There was a fruit bar, more veggies and a hummus selection in the salad bar, and much more,” said Sullivan. Each day of the week included a theme, such as healthy eating, mental health, healthy living and fitness. SGA members promoted each day of the week with a table in the back of the student center where they sold raffle tickets for $1 benefiting The National Alliance on Mental Health. The prizes
from the raffle included gift certificates to restaurants that promote healthy eating and exercise equipment. One lucky winner of the raffle, sophomore Betsy Blumenfeld, won a bike. Blumenfeld stated, “Winning the bike was the most excited I’ve been in so long!” She went on to say, “I think the healthy lifestyle week is really good for the school because it promotes physical
and mental health which is something we tend to lose track of when we come to college.” The two freshman senators met multiple times before the week started to brainstorm ideas and themes. Sullivan thought the week went well and said, “We definitely have a lot more ideas for the week in the future.”

SPORTS 7 SHC Cheer Team Prepares for Nationals Volume 108, Issue 4
Caroline Weishaar | Reporter Spring Hill College’s cheer team will leave to compete in the National Cheerleaders Association’s national competition in Daytona, FL on April 3. Led by captain Branna Hokanson and co-captains Sumyr Thames and Sydney Caudill, this will be the team’s first time competing in the NCA nationals. The team has been preparing their skills for nationals since last August and running their routine since the return from Christmas break. In preparation for nationals, the team members have been practicing their skills individually and then put-
ting them together in fullout routines multiple times each practice. They have been working hard, aiming to focus on little things such as timing, sharpness and overall crowd appeal. Hokanson said, “I personally think we have a pretty good chance of doing well this year. We have had such a positive vibe during practice and this semester. As long as we keep our confidence I think we will succeed.” In years past, the team has struggled to maintain the numbers necessary to compete in competitions, especially two years ago when their coach left. The
past two seasons they have slowly been building the program back up with the help of their new coach, Alyssa Paesano. Caudill, a senior and co-captain, said, “I’m really excited that for my last year as a cheerleader, we will be able to be a part of such a fun and important competition.” She agrees with Hokansaon saying, “I think that we will do well during the competition this year. We have been working really hard to make sure we have all of our skills to perform a solid routine.” Sydney Caudill and Jacee Brija prepare for a game. | Photo: Caroline Weishaar
Track & Field Heats up at Jaguar Classic Chase Brouillette | Reporter The Men’s and Women’s Track and Field teams competed this past Friday at the University of South Alabama for their Jaguar Classic meet. Among their competition were students from University of South Alabama, University of Alabama, University of Mobile, University of Southern Mississippi, Indiana Tech, Jackson State University, University of Alabama-Birmingham, UT-Tyler, Mississippi Valley, Belhaven, and University of West Alabama. This was their second meet of the season. Meet highlights include a second-place finish by the women’s 4x100 meter team, David Toups finishing fourth in the men’s 1500 meter and fifth in the 800 meter, Athina Amanor with a fifth place finish in the women’s 400 meter and a fifth place javelin throw from Brian Pempel. The athletes seemed satisfied with their performances overall, with junior David Toups saying, “Both the men’s and women’s teams performed well on all fronts at South Alabama this weekend. Sprinters, distance runners and field event athletes competed against a tough field of teams, including a few Division I teams, and we held our
own. We’re definitely starting to hit our stride at the right time.” Junior Meghan Sullivan stated, “This season has been going really well so far, for the team as a whole and for myself personally. The Spring Hill track team has performed really well and the team has worked so hard for the last few months, so it’s great to see everyone’s hard work pay off! . . . I’m excited to see where our team can go this season!” The team has three more meets in the season before the SIAC Championship meet in April, with the Falcon Classic this coming weekend at the University of Montevallo. Following that will be the University of Southern Mississippi Invitational the weekend of March 29 and the Mississippi College Twilight Invitational on April 5.

Experience Downtown Anew Morgan Eiland | Reporter
Spring Hill students have always used downtown Mobile for their end of the week celebrations, but with new attractions added to the downtown scene, students have other reasons to visit besides the bars late at night. Multiple brunch spots and other restaurants have opened in the past year along with new breweries. Senior Caroline Herrera is happy to see how downtown has progressed from a typical bar scene to a place her and her friends can visit any time of day, saying, “Downtown my freshman year was more so just partying. Now we can go downtown for brunch, go downtown for coffee or go downtown to see a concert. It’s not only just partying and drinking.� Herrera says she looks for a place to study that is not too crowded and loud. “It’s nice to have places downtown that you can kind of escape from Spring Hill a little bit,� said Herrera. Nova Espresso opened last month on the corner of St. Anthony and Claiborne street. It is a new coffee shop
students can come to for their caffeine fix and study sessions, especially if they want to get away from Spring Hill for a while. Their menu consists of the traditional espresso drinks along with a few snacks. People can also come in and grab a pre-made lunch in the refrigerator. Another new addition to downtown, Game Over, is a restaurant and bar with a unique twist: it is also an arcade. Located on Dauphin and Joachim, guests can enjoy downtown by eating and drinking while playing retro video games like Ms. Pacman and Star Trek pinball that are placed throughout the entire restaurant. Junior Jared Jacoby is one of the officers for the Spring Hill game club and he is very excited for his club to try out the new restaurant that just opened last month. “I think this would be a really cool opportunity to get out of the college and go somewhere really nice,� said Jacoby. While Spring Hill students have been using downtown as their late night destination on the weekends,
they now have more options to visit and experience during the day. Jacoby says that new places like Game Over and Nova Espresso will let students see everything else downtown has to offer: “We will get to appreciate downtown more.�
