We made it! Finally, two issues in the fall semester. I cannot thank Nana, Danielle and Sarai enough for working to make this vision a reality—and a return to form for The ACE, putting out two editions in the fall semester for the first time since 2011.
reflect upon the fun, positive aspects of our culture during a tense, fast-paced moment in the semester. We’re at the end. Everything is due. The mad dash to make the “Display Grades” button on GWeb display good things is here.
You can probably tell that the holidays are dear to us. More than that, what this issue does, implicitly and explicitly, is
Though, all of this is true, let’s not take away from the festivities of the moments. There’s only one holiday
“I don’t want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need: for my readers to love the holiday issue!” Hello, my faithful readers. Another year is coming to an end and the holidays are near, which means family bonding, new clothes and lots of hot chocolate. Oh, and a new special edition of The ACE.
all for those who want it all! I hope you enjoy this issue as much as I do. Happy holidays, readers! May your reading be delightful and may you continue to stay faithful in this new year to yourself and to us.
This issue goes from trips in Brazil to midterm elections. We have it Greetings! If you’re like me, you’ve already started gearing up for the Holidays and the naysayers have complained that it’s too early. Who cares what they think?

This is my favorite time of the year and not because my parents are pretty good at buying gifts. It is a magical time for thanks and giving. Each year I look forward to ‘Twas the night before ACEmas, and the editing team Was scrambling to think of a worthwhile theme; The articles were written and the commas in line, And it seemed like the team would make deadline on time; The readers were waiting with anticipation; They knew that this issue would bring them elation; We put our heads together and
spending time with my family after toiling away for three months. I know that it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel with finals fast approaching; but, remember, the mother of all holidays is upon us!
came up with a plan, And dreamt up an issue that’s just for our fans. So, turn the page and find goodies indeed, Merry ACEmas to all and to all a good read.
The Ace Magazine Mission: last issue
season. We hope this edition eases your transition into the most wonderful time of the year, no matter your race, color or creed and provides a good read outside of your class texts. Happy holidays!
The Ace Magazine connects the multicultural community to the university at-large with contributions from student writers and faculty members. Since 2008, The Ace has sparked discussion between campus groups furthering our belief that “we all have similar issues no matter our color.”

MIDTERM ELECTIONS RECAP By Danielle Noel
I
Alaska, Republican Dan Sullivan garnered significantly more votes, Democrat Mark Begich has yet to concede.
n one of the most expensive and hard-fought elections in history, Republicans won control of the Senate 53-44 during the 2014 elections on Tuesday, November 4th.
The Senate race in Louisiana will be decided in a runoff election on Dec. 6 where Democrat incumbent Mary Landrieu will fight to defeat Republican opponent Bill Cassidy.
The night began with Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) defeating embattled Democrat contender Alison Lundergan Grimes by sixteen percentage points. Grimes fell prey to the strategy that most Republican candidates utilized during the cycle of linking every Democratic candidate to an unpopular President Obama. At the end of the night, Republicans gained seats in a number of key states, unseating Democratic incumbents in Arkansas, North Carolina, and Colorado.
A significant number of governor’s mansions also went to Republican candidates. Democratic governors were unseated in Illinois (President Obama’s home state) and in Massachusetts. In the biggest upset of the night, Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown was defeated by Republican opponent Larry Hogan in the Maryland gubernatorial race.
Democrats were able to hold onto a key seat in New Hampshire when Jeanne Shaheen successfully defeated Republican opponent Scott Brown, the former Governor of Massachusetts. The Senate races in Alaska and Virginia were highly contested when recounts were called and a small number of votes determined the winners. Democratic incumbent Mark Warner won against popular Republican opponent Ed Gillepsie by just eleven votes. Although in
Few political operatives and strategists were surprised by the election’s results, citing the American people’s increasing dissatisfaction with President Obama and the Democratic Party. Nonetheless, both parties have stated their intent to reach across the aisle during President Obama’s last two years in office to pass effective bipartisan legislation.

WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN LEAN IN AT GW By Danielle Noel
‘L
eaning in’ to empowerment as a woman in the workforce may seem like an odd concept, but millions of women, men and girls from around the world have discovered the movement that is pushing for a society without gender inequity. Lean In is a non-profit organization started by the COO of Facebook, Inc. Sheryl Sandberg in 2011, based off of her bestselling book of the same name. The group advocates changing the conversation around gender equity issues in today’s world and to bring the unique challenges that women face in the workforce to the forefront. Recently, the national organization launched Lean In On Campus to bring its mission to university students around the world. Thousands of students have discovered the power of Lean In and established chapters at their schools, including GW! Using small peer groups called “circles,” Lean In strives to help women grow professionally and personally. The concept emanates from years of research that demonstrates how people tend to succeed much more when they receive feedback and validation from their peers. In each circle, both women and men who are passionate about equality meet periodically to have powerful discussions and support one another in achieving their goals. Lean In has created meeting templates for every circle and each member has access to expert lectures on subjects including salary negotiation and the power of influence. Circles have been started diverse groups of Thousands of by students and for a wide students have range of causes. Banu Ali, at the University discovered the aofstudent Iraq, founded Lean power of Lean In and In On Campus at her and now hosts established chapters school pop-up events for female at their schools, entrepreneurs in her Leigh Ann including GW! community. Williams, a pharmaceutical student in New Orleans is working to bring Lean In circles to Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated.
Lean In has attracted a diverse coalition of individuals to promote its mission from celebrity ambassadors like Beyoncé and Reese Witherspoon to former government officials such as Condaleeza Rice. However, the movement’s true power comes from the thousands of young women who have realized their potential and have been reinvigorated to fight for a better, more equal future.

CULTURE SHOCK IN SOUTH AMERICA By Nana Agyemang
O
common to chat up a store owner you didn’t know like an old friend. In Argentina, I found it difficult to track down coffee to-go. Locals found the idea of enjoying a beverage without the company of friends mildly offensive. Diversity can be seen here as in any countries, but the European influence in Argentina and Uruguay was visible in the fairer complexions of the people —something I saw less of at my next destination, Brazil. I think many Americans maintain the stereotype that all Latin Americans are darker skinned, but after seeing the people of these two countries, the stereotype certainly did not hold.
ver the summer I had the opportunity to journey south on an incredible tour through Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil. I stayed with friends who I met living in an international residence during the previous summer in San Francisco. While I was elated to be reunited with some of my greatest friends, and to take in the buildings, parks, and streets of Punta del Este, Montevideo, Buenos Aires, and São Paulo, I soon discovered that South America’s most striking feature is its people. One taxi, a plane, two private cars, a boat and a bus later, I arrived in Punta del Este, a resort town I think many Americans summer in Uruguay. This maintain the stereotype glamorous bubble its Valentino that all Latin Americans with boutique and glassy are darker skinned, but high-rises flaunted lives of the after seeing the people the Uruguayan upper of these two countries, class. My second was Montevideo the stereotype certainly stop (Uruguay’s largest did not hold. city and capital) followed by Buenos Aires (the capital of Argentina). These two cities shared a lot of cultural similarities (Uruguay was once part of Argentina). It was
I stayed in São Paulo for my final week. Brazil can be summarized in two words: colorful and happy. The country exploded with color from its people to its streets to its fruit and everything in between. São Paulo’s twelve million inhabitants come from African, European, indigenous and East Asian backgrounds to name a few and make the city one of the world’s largest. In a way, it mirrored our own nation’s melting pot. And just as much as Brazil’s abounding color, every Brazilian I encountered was happier (and kinder and warmer… ) than the next. Like most who visit this amazing continent, I am counting down the days to my return. I encourage everyone to head south as soon as possible, and I am so grateful to have been able to experience the diversity and beauty of these nations. C’mon! Go book your flight!

It is the mission of Be Black Empress to help women of color celebrate their value.

BLOGGING FOR BEGINNERS By Sarai Reed
W
e’ve featured quite a few amazing blogs in our day. Some of them may have you thinking, I should start my own blog. If blogging is something you want to try, but you aren’t sure how to get started, follow these easy steps, and you’ll be on your way to Tumblr fame in no time.
STEP 1
ASK YOURSELF, WHAT ARE YOU MOST PASSIONATE ABOUT? What topics will fuel your desire to publish content even when it’s struggle season? Managing a blog is hard work. No one likes a web page that’s stagnant so blogging is something you might not want to take on unless you can make the time commitment. Having a topic you are passionate about will make publishing more fun.
STEP 2
THINK ABOUT YOUR TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC. Who are your future fans and how can you make them happy with content that’s true to you. How much do you want your followers/readers to be involved with your blog? Some sites are more interactive than others, but with that comes a certain responsibility to moderate what your viewers are posting.
STEP 3
GET TECHY. Are you a blogspotter or a tumblr guru? Are you a writer or a vlogger? Do you write code? Do you know someone who writes code? These are all things to think about when you’re considering starting a blog. Make sure you explore your options and find an interface that’s right for you, your content, and your fans.
STEP 4
CREATE! It’s a good idea to establish a small stockpile of content before your link goes live. Saving up a few timeless posts to publish on those days you’re stuck writing a paper or doing a group project is not a bad idea. Do feel rushed to publish right away though, take all the time you need to make your blog perfect before you go public. Once you do go public, it’s important to be consistent. If you can’t post regularly and on schedule, don’t start a blog. You’ll ditch it in a few months.
STEP 5
GIVE YOUR BLOG A LITTLE SOMETHING SPECIAL. Get outside the box (read: avoid tired cliches). Remind readers with every visit why they want to subscribe. If you have something extra to offer, like artwork, musical talents, cultural criticism or amazing photos, make sure you showcase it. In the end, it will set your blog apart from all the rest.
TEN WAYS TO HANDLE
STRESS
DURING FINALS
By Sydney McKinley, Nana Agyemang & Danielle Noel
12
politics • on campus • abroad • tech • health • style • holiday
1 TAKE BREAKS
2 STUDY IN FUN PLACES
3 GOOD SNACKS
Naps are always a given, but the risk is over sleeping. An alternative would be taking a walk, going to the gym or grabbing food. Just make sure NOT TO SIT IN ONE PLACE FOR OVER FIVE HOURS.
Coffee shops, a bookstore, the park or a study partner’s dorm. The list can go on. Avoid clustered and distractive places such as the library or your room
Power snacks for studying are the best. Anything with bananas or peanut butter are great energy boosters.
4 CALL HOME whenever your frustrations with school have become overwhelming, be sure to call a family member to vent or get some needed support. They may not be able to help you write that paper, but their encouragement can give you the confidence to finish the semester strong!
5 COMPLAIN TOGETHER Bond with others over common stress. That is what friends are for right? When you both are stressed over studying take a rant break. Tell them about that Bio Anthropology exam you are dreading.
6 7 8 9 10 STUDY IN A LIGHT AT THE GIVE MAINTAIN PAMPERING GROUP END OF THE YOURSELF A CALM YOURSELF TUNNEL MINI MENTALITY DEADLINES
“Two heads are better than one.” Studying in a group could propose different ways of studying that you never knew existed. You can explain problems to each other. It makes a great trade-off!
In a couple weeks you will snuggling in your bed. So why not go hard and ace your exams so you can have a relaxing break?
Write lists and check things off.
Always remember that this phase in your life will be over before you know it and chances are, you will not recall the hell you experienced. Everything is just temporary and life (eventually) goes on, so don’t be too hard on yourself.
Take time out to go shopping or do a homemade facial mask ANYTHING TO RELAX YOUR NERVES during finals week.

ON SOME SH*T YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF: AN INTERVIEW WITH MAXWELL YOUNG By Emma Ashworth
“I’ll have the chicken and waffles…. And some orange juice,” says Maxwell Young. He hands the laminated menu back to the waiter and turns his bar stool back towards me to finish talking about his hometown, Pittsburgh.
“Less high end stuff. People mainly know about the high-end brands anyways, so we cater to low-end streetwear. We’ve covered Hype Land, Corrupt Originality, and then larger companies like Stussy. It just makes me so mad when I just see hypebeasts walkin’ around, that’s not how you do it. That’s not style, it’s just what people are telling you to like. It’s just buying shit that’s hot right now.”
Originally founded by Max’s twin brother Alex Young, In The Rough has grown to a staff of five including GW students Lanie Edwards and Alex Hersh along with Furman University junior, JR Walker. Max and I met up one morning at Lincoln’s Waffle House to discuss his blog and the culture of street style.
“No I feel the same way. I’m not decked out in Hood By Air, but I don’t even know the brands you’re talking about. So what are you really into right now that’s not on the blog yet?”
“Tell me a little bit about your blog. Why did you start it and why the name In the Rough?”
“I’m doing something on watches. I love them because especially in urban culture, I think people could do a better job. Of course I’ll cover Rolex because that’s the Holy Grail, but then also Toywatch, its relatively new, and Larsson & Jennings. I’m trying to cover quality watches, but not the Rolex price.”
“It started about three years ago. My brother started it first as a sneaker blog that covered releases. It evolved to cover urban life as a whole, but we don’t want to limit ourselves either. The evolution of our tastes and accumulation of life experiences has created a desire for us to share the things that make us laugh, smile, or think.”
“Last question: What’s your advice to an aspiring blogger?”
“So how do you know what to post on the blog, do you cater to a certain audience?”
“The readership doesn’t come quickly, so just be persistent. It’s worth it.”
“It’s really about what we’re into. Like I’m a huge Nike fan so Adidas isn’t covered as much as it should be. But we do a lot of research, looking at Hypebeast everyday to see what they’re doing. Then people will e-mail us about the stuff they want to read about. Every day is different. We don’t really have a structure.”
For more information on InTheRough, follow them on Twitter (@InTheRoughStyle) Instagram, (@InTheRoughStyle).
“Do you cover more high-end brands or more reasonablypriced stuff?”

THE SNEAKERHEAD OF GW INTERVIEW WITH LIVIYA By Nana Agyemang
“Let’s start off with you telling me about yourself; Who are you? Where are you from? What do you do for fun?” “I’m Liviya. I’m from Milwaukee, WI. I am a sophomore at GW. I’m majoring in International Affairs with a concentration in Africa and Global Public Health. I’m interested in photography, traveling and... sneakers. I went to high school in an urban environment and I became really interested in black culture: Hip hop, Rap and R&B.”
“What was your experience like at a predominantly black high school?” “Well, if I grew up in the suburbs I wouldn’t have been interested in the same things. It opened my eyes to how the more people become exposed to each other the more we are comfortable with each other. I look for diversity. I realize that I’ll never get an experience like high school again. It was a blessing.”
“You own over thirty pairs of sneakers. In my book you are, ‘the sneakerhead of GW.’ Where did your passion for sneakers come from?” “I had a guy friend who liked sneakers since the beginning of time and I would look at him and be like, “his shoes are cool!” I remember my Air Jordan VI ‘Oreos’ were my first pair of shoes and from there I got another pair of Jordans, and another and it kind of grew from there. At that point, it started to become something I was super passionate about.”
“What kicks would you always remain loyal to no matter what amazing sneaker comes after it?” “My favorite sneakers that I would never give up—even if someone was trying to rob me for them—would be my Black Cement 3s.”
“Whose sneaker closet would you steal?” “Teyana Taylor, she def knows whats up.”
“Last question, will the Foamposites ever make a comeback?” *Chuckles* “It really depends on where you are from. Where I am from they are still hype. I think in DC and NYC people are over it. They aren’t as classic as Jordans.”

HOLIDAY PLAYLIST AND RECIPES By Sarai Reed & Adam Middleton
C
hances are, if you’re a GW student right now, you’re experiencing a bit of the pre-holiday doldrums that come from knowing that there’s a mountain of exams, papers, presentations and group projects standing between you and your much-deserved winter break. If decking the halls (of your dorm) with string lights from CVS and surviving solely on pumpkin spice lattes isn’t doing the trick to get you into the holiday spirit, we have just the thing!

share this as a decadent and easy alternative. Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes to an hour Number of Servings: 10 or 12 (or one if we’re being honest) Ingredients: - 1 baguette (any bread you can get your hands on will do but the crustier the better) - 2 cups of whole milk - ½ cup of heavy whipping cream - ¾ cups of granulated sugar - 8 eggs (if you only have six that will do) - 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract - butter
Two of the ACE’s Favorite Holiday Recipes: *don’t worry, we made sure that these can actually be pulled off with the severely limited space, resources and cooking expertise of your average college student*
OVEN BAKED FRENCH TOAST One of the greatest things about winter break is waking up to hot, homemade breakfast. We’re not knocking the deli, but we wanted to
16
politics • on campus • abroad • tech • health • style • holiday Prep: 1. First things first, you’re going to want to preheat your oven to 350 degrees (unless you’re making this ahead of time, which we highly recommend). 2. Next, get out a 9x13 inch baking dish (or whatever you have available) and slather it with butter. You’re going to want to really lay it on thick. 3. Now for the fun part: Take your baguette and rip it up into a bunch of smallish pieces or if you’re fancy, cut it into 1 inch cubes and throw it into your greased up baking dish. 4. Next, in a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, eggs, sugar and vanilla, and then pour it over the bread. *At this point you can either cover it tightly with aluminum foil and pop it in the fridge to make tomorrow or you can put it right into the oven. It’s up to you! 5. If you decide to stick it in the fridge, keep in mind that it will not last more than a day because of the milk and raw eggs. If you decide to bake it right away, you don’t need any foil, you can just put it right into the oven. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour on 350 degrees. The top should be golden brown. 6. Top with WHATEVER you want! The possibilities are endless. You can use powdered sugar, butter, maple syrup, chocolate chips, berries, fried apples, cinnamon, shredded coconut or a combination of everything. 7. Enjoy responsibly!
CHICKEN SOUP WITH RICE The worst part about this time of year is the cold weather. Here’s a recipe that will warm you up! We promise it’s better than Campbell’s. Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes Number of Servings: a lot
Ingredients: - 4 fourteen ounce cans of chicken broth - 3 or 4 whole carrots peeled and chopped into ½ inch pieces
- 4 or 5 whole celery stalks washed and chopped into ½ inch pieces - 1 whole diced onion - 1 tablespoon minced garlic (that’s about 3 cloves) - 1 cup of uncooked rice (white, brown, wild, whatever you prefer!) - salt & pepper - parsley and/or thyme - about a pound of cooked boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts shredded or cubed
Prep: 1. You will need a large pot for this. Set your stove on medium heat and throw your carrots, celery, garlic and onion into the pot. If you’re as lazy as we are, most grocery stores sell these ingredients pre-chopped. 2. Add in your seasonings, top with the chicken broth, and bring to a boil. 3. After about 3 to 5 minutes, add your uncooked rice and let it continue to cook on medium heat until the rice is cooked through. This should take 15 to 20 minutes. 4. Add the chicken and cook for another 5 minutes or until chicken is heated through. 5. Season with salt and pepper and enjoy. This is a great meal to share with friends on a cold day.
