World Hijab Day Gielle Kuhn | On February 1, 2015
Givan Hinds News Editor
many women wore a hijab for the first time as part of the World Hijab Day. This event encourages both non-Muslim and Muslim women who don’t normally wear hijabs to try one for a day. The hijab is generally worn to demonstrate modest attire and behavior. A hijab is a general term that describes headscarves worn by many Muslim women. They come in various colors and cover the head and neck, leaving the face free. The World Hijab Day’s founder is activist Nazma Khan. Khan moved to the United States from Bangladesh at age 11 and was the only hi-
jab-wearing girl in her classes. In grade school she was bullied and called names such as “Batman” or “Ninja,” but after the 9/11 attacks the taunts grew to “terrorist” and “Osama Bin Laden.” She explains on the WHD website, “I figured the only way to end discrimination is if we ask our fellow sisters to experience hijab themselves.” This year, women took action to show solidarity with other women who wear hijabs--affectionately called hijabis. Social media was flooded with #WorldHijabDay images from around the world. Celebrities and politicians alike endorsed the movement, and the
WHD organization estimates that interest has been shown in over 140 countries and their literature has been translated to 56 languages. Wearing a hijab has many social implications, which the WHD is actively trying to combat. A hijab is often mistaken as a symbol of oppression and Islamic extremism. Many argue along “feminist” lines that women should not have to cover up for men, that hijabis are forced to wear the scarf in the pretense of symbolizing Islamic faith. The attention on hijabs objectifies women and judges their alreadymade dress choices. This stirs up
much disgust and unwanted attention due to the larger debate and controversy over the Islam faith, and portrays hijab-wearing women as having had no role in the decision to wear a hijab. A hijab is a personal dress choice and statement. By partaking in the World Hijab Day event and wearing a hijab, women may better understand the plight of other fellow women who normally wear them. Priyanka Mogul, the founder of the Spread the Word Campaign, chose to take the WHD challenge. After wearing a hijab she goes on to say, “The hijab, for me, now represents something a lot more than just a
piece of cloth used to cover your head. It stands firmly as a symbol of equality. A symbol for women who choose not to let men judge them based on their appearances, but rather, forces them to see women for the people they are on the inside. It gives women a sense of value, it gives women a sense of strength, and it allows women to be in control of the way anyone else sees them. In my opinion, that is one of the strongest messages of equality you could send.”

Dear Valentine: To: Matthew Henry
Dear Donny Latour,
Matt Matt, I love you! Happy Valentines day :) Even though I’m currently on a plane across the world, I wanted to tell you that you’re the best little brother I’ve ever had. And the only lol. I hope you enjoy your day and behave… because I’ve got my eye on you lol. Finish the semester strong!
I’ve had a crush on you for 7 months now. I’m not really sure why. I mean… I do know why, but I’m confused as to why I still have feelings for you even though we don’t really talk that much. It’s probably because you’re a really wonderful guy, with lots of amazing things going for you. You may never find out that it is I who like you. And maybe in the whole cosmic order of things, we both will move on our separate ways, and everything will turn out OK. However, just know that I wish you the best in all that you do and am here for you in whatever way I can be. And make sure to take time to enjoy life and smell the roses. Make beautiful music for YOU and not anyone else. Happy Valentine’s Day. Yours truly, A friend
Love, Sharnelle Henry
This girl named Ingrid is awful timid to write you a note but it is no joke

Advanced Social Media Integration – The Student Movement has an existing social media presence, and I will continue to work to expand it with the goal of reaching a broader audience and providing real-time, up-to-date information. I will work with the editors to encourage an ongoing online discussion, and seek Andrews University student feedback, comments, and questions via Twitter and Facebook. This may include live-reporting from various campus events, Q&A sessions with our editors, and occasionally publishing your Tweets to us. It is my goal to see the Student Movement become a truly integrated multimedia experience while preserving
the legacy of our beloved printed publication. “Moderator” – I will be rebranding the “Ideas” section of the Student Movement with the intent of providing a place for a continued discussion of current events, social activism, politics, and national news stories. I will encourage varied opinion-editorials on contemporary subjects in order to provide a diverse set of views on the same issues that affect us as students, and responsible citizens. The sharing of different perspectives is an important part of our community and we need a section of the paper to reflect the spirit of respectful and open debate that is present at Andrews University.

AUSA Election Platforms
Joseph-Alexander Hearn Desired Position: Senator-at-Large I am running for Senator-at-Large because after being a senator this past year, I think that we, Andrews University, as a whole can make a major impact here on campus in terms of many aspects: spiritual-
ly, socially, and academically. If we want to make a difference, it’s important for everyone of us to get involved. Since we all are AUSA, we all need to get involved to make next year a year that will be memorable.
Adrian Marston Desired Position: Religious Vice President During my freshman year, the greatest advice was given to me from a former RA in Meier Hall. He told me that if I go through my whole Andrews University experience without attempting to grow closer to Christ, then my whole four years here would be in vain. As a freshman, I had no motivation to listen to that advice, so I attempted to do what I saw fit. Bad choice after bad choice left me feeling empty and worthless, my spiritual walk with God never more insecure. Friends and family would call and ask their routine questions, and because of the life that I was attempting to live, I could never give them an honest answer. Saturday nights I would come back to my dorm room, wondering, “what in the world was I doing at that party,” knowing full and well that it wasn’t the scene for me. I looked in the mirror and saw bold letters, on my face, screaming “hypocrite” and because of that I was so ashamed to even talk to God Himself. You know you’ve hit rock bottom when you don’t even think that God himself loves you. What I soon realized is, at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how I look at myself or even how others
look at me. What matters most is that God can look through broken person like me and say, “Adrian, you don’t even know about the journey that I’m going to take you through.” From the moment I had that experience with God, my life changed completely. My challenge is this, if we truly want to gain the best Andrews University Experience, the request is simple. Listen to God’s voice. If there is one person, who knows what’s best for you, it’s Him. My goal, for Andrews University, is this. In order for us to truly grow with Christ, we must admit that we’re broken, acknowledge that we need a savior, and aim to listen to God’s Voice. Past Experience: Black Student Christian Forum – President (2014-15) Black Student Christian Forum – Vice President (2013-14) New Life Fellowship Staff– Sabbath School Teacher (2012-2014) Pathfinders – Youth counselor (2008-12)
Samuel Fry Desired Position: Senator-at-Large Original and Relevant Content – This is the STUDENT movement, and content should be relevant to you. That means stories and features that you need to help keep you informed, involved, and participating in issues and events on campus. We are a central community, and in maintaining our unique identity we should primarily focus on activities on campus, local news, and information we need to succeed and better ourselves as students. I will work with our editors and writers to produce original pieces of relevant content instead of reporting on major news stories that are covered a week be-
fore our paper hits the stands. Current events, national news stories, and social issues will be covered in our rebranded “Moderator” section. Transparency – This is our campus, and, as students paying tuition, we want to stay informed on how Andrews University manages our education. I will seek to cooperate with the university administration where possible to facilitate a spirit of trust, honesty, and accountability between students and our administration. This includes a responsibility to tell hard truths with integrity when necessary—because an informed student body is an active and involved student body.
John Gonzalez Desired Position: Religious Vice President Discipleship. The one word that needs to become relevant in the life of every professed follower of Christ. The reality is discipleship is and has always been difficult in a society that is wrapped in consumerism. The consumerist society that we live in has conditioned many professed followers of Christ to live a life of egoistic self-centeredness. The Christian life was never intended to be a life of selfish consuming, but a life of participating. Christ wants us to participate in the riches of his Kingdom. Christ wants us to participate in the act of being a disciple and in the act of making disciples. The Christian life is not about selfish gain, but about selfless giving. The reality is many of us try to find permanent happiness in temporary things not realizing that true happiness is found in a permanent being. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the famed German theologian, once said, “A Christianity without discipleship is a Christianity without Christ.” The question is, what is a disci-
ple and how does that look like in one’s life? A disciple is a self-initiating, reproducing, fully devoted follower of God. A self-initiating, reproducing, fully devoted follower of Christ realizes that no one can follow Jesus for them. They realize that they are responsible for their own spiritual growth in cooperation with the Holy Spirit. This is not to negate the fact that a community component does exist in the process of redemption. In fact, the way in which we live together is the gospel we preach. Living in community reveals relational brokenness. Relational brokenness is an opportunity to do gospel! I wholeheartedly believe that if we are going to be self-initiating, reproducing, fully devoted followers of God, then personal communion with Christ must be of utmost importance. I want to network with the spiritual leaders on this campus, so that in one accord we may disciple each person on this campus and be a testimony to the world of the transformative power of the Gospel. Will you join me?

THE STUDENT MOVEMENT
AUSA Election Platforms
Alex Gaytán Desired Position: Executive Vice President
Erik Vyhmeister Ideas Editor
If you’re reading this, you’re already one step closer. You have already shown enough interest to prove that YOU can be a catalyst for change, and that’s what Andrews needs. Andrews needs more student body involvement and influence in order to address true student body needs and concerns. This will require leadership with the sincere intentionality of listening to its constituents. I have had the privilege to hold numerous leadership positions at Andrews, and I am currently serving as Social Vice President of AUSA. My responsibilities include planning, scheduling, and organizing events during the school year. These events include AUSA events as well as those hosted in conjunction with the University’s Student Activities department. It is my belief that the elected
officers of AUSA are most effective in the second half of their election cycle. Officers spend nearly a semester getting oriented, developing relationships, and then begin to hit our stride. I believe that I have learned to effectively manage the responsibilities required of the AUSA Social Vice President, and I would like to have the opportunity to continue to serve Andrews University by now focusing on issues that directly affect students by serving in the capacity of AUSA Executive Vice President. The Social Vice President position has not only provided me with knowledge and experience on how this organization works, but it has also revealed how AUSA can better serve students, and it starts with providing a medium in which we can have sincere conversations. This is Senate’s purpose, and my primary goal is to further advance Senate in fulfilling its mission. See, every year elections are held, and every year candidate’s
Benjamin Koch talk about serving as “the voice” of students, but Student Government cannot truly be the voice of many when there isn’t any dialogue taking place. Students have enormous leverage to bring about meaningful change at Andrews University, and by using Senate efficiently, we can finally begin to form a relationship of trust between students and AUSA. It’s time to utilize AUSA Senate for its original purpose, but we can’t expect a different result by doing the same thing. It is my purpose to ensure that effective dialogue between students, AUSA, and Student Life occurs, especially on issues in which many diverse groups are affected. It’s time for transparency within our community. It’s time to talk about what truly matters. It’s time to put the power back in the hands of the people. It’s time to shake things up.
Cody Wales Desired Position: President We are all dreamers, imaging ways to improve things, to be better, to get stronger. Things that range from substantial problems like Internet failure to trivial problems like that one part of the sidewalk that seems to always have a puddle. There is no shortage of opportunities for us students to move from the actual to ideal. What we need is an opportunity to transform these dreams into reality. AUSA stands to represent students, advocating on your behalf to ensure that the experiences of the students at Andrews are exceptional. My passion is to make experiences better, whosoever that may be, and I have been privileged to complete many projects that do just that this year. As President, I will continue to improve our experiences to move toward our ideal reality as students. Two years ago when I was asked to join AUSA as Business Manager, I was not completely aware of what was behind the door. Opening the door, I was given the privilege to work with an amazing team, and an amazing leader in Jonathan Jacobs. This experience ignited my passion for improving students’ experiences at Andrews, and since I have been honored to serve in a number of roles including the Dean’s Advisory Council for the School of Business Administration, Chairman for the Student Academic Integrity council, and most recently Financial Vice President
for AUSA. These experiences have been extremely valuable in gaining a deeper understanding of AUSA, as well as the knowledge needed to initiate change on campus and follow it to completion. One thing that I have grown to see the value in is an understanding of those around you. AUSA is no exception from this, and that is why as President I will make myself readily available and present in order to have those critical conversations with you and for you. Additionally, I believe this cannot stop with just the President, but that the entire team should be approachable with a strong desire to know and understand you. One tangible way of doing this beyond conversation is through surveys: gathering feedback on what is going well and what can be improved. Being connected with the student body is the key in ensuring AUSA is a meaningful and relevant organization on campus. My name is Cody Wales, and it would be my privilege to serve you as President of AUSA during the 2015-2016 school year.
Desired Position: Executive Vice President “But I am only a freshman!” I felt discouraged about whether or not I could make a difference on this campus while I am still so young. However, I then realized that it wouldn’t be me making the difference. I would just be a small part in helping this campus. We must all work together. I can use my skills to benefit this campus in a big way by working together with the senators to make changes on this campus for the good of everyone here. I want to run for this position because I have fallen in love with this university. There is so much I want to do for this campus! Because of my love for this school, it is very sad to see so many people thinking that the environment here is so unwelcoming. I want to change people’s thoughts about it. I want everyone to see Andrews University as the place to be. I want us all to become a community together and see each other as family. If I am elected I would like to make many improvements on our campus by working with our senators. For example, allowing ev-
ery Andrews University student to have 100 free pages in the computer labs and increasing the amount of money we are refunded from our cafeteria accounts at the end of every semester. I would also like to complete the projects started this year: buying new laundry machines and filtering the hard water for the showers for the residence halls. I knew I wanted to get involved on campus but I wasn’t sure which position I wanted to run for. I went to Afia Asamoah to ask about her duties as the current Executive Vice President. As she shared with me about the position, I became very excited about it. I was sure it was the position for me! It fits me perfectly because it is exactly in the area of what I want to someday do for my career. I am currently double majoring in political science and business and I hope to someday be a congressman or senator. I have also served as treasurer for my high school Student Association. Because of my previous experience, I am qualified to be next year’s Executive Vice President. I hope you will consider me as you choose your future leaders!
Jason Shockey Desired Position: President “The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.” For me, that quote by Ronald Reagan sums up what an AUSA President should be: an enabler for the thousands of talented, creative people on our campus. It doesn’t take long when we look around our campus to see the immense possibilities—just waiting for a spark to ignite them. And this is what I want to be as your AUSA President this year: I want to serve you as the catalyst that pushes our university to achieve even greater heights. Ever since I toured Andrews as a high schooler, I knew this was the
place for me—but it has its downsides, too. So, although we can’t change the weather or the crazylong walk to the Science Complex, I believe there are three things that we can and should improve during this upcoming year. First, we must improve the communication channels between AUSA, administration, and the student body, so that we can truly work together for the betterment of our school. Second, we must foster a sense of authentic spirituality on our campus; too often we go to worships just for credit, which is an issue that must be confronted and dealt with. And third (and I believe most importantly), we must embrace the “Change the World” part of our mission statement by placing a re-
newed emphasis on being a physical representation of Christ’s love to our community through service projects and volunteerism. These three improvements are my main objectives for this upcoming year. This is because I believe this should be the ultimate goal of AUSA: not simply to plan events, but to make a real, tangible, and positive change in the daily lives of every student at Andrews. In doing so, we will not just look back at our time in college and only remember a banquet and a few great Saturday night activities, we will be able to see the collective difference we made on our campus and on those around us—because that’s what Andrews University is all about.

individual “bad cop,” and instead furnishes police departments nationwide with the potential for civil rights obstructions. Thirdly, Black Lives Matter seeks to keep cisgender, heterosexual, ablebodied Black men from the center of the movement, as most civil rights movements traditionally have been. According to the official website, “It goes beyond the narrow nationalism that can be prevalent within Black communities, which merely call on Black people to love Black, live Black and buy Black, keeping straight cis Black men in the front of the movement while our sisters, queer and trans and disabled folk take up roles in the background or not at all. Black Lives Matter affirms the lives of Black queer and trans folks, disabled folks, black-undocumented folks, folks with records, women and all Black lives along the gender spectrum. It centers those that have been marginalized within Black liberation movements.” Black Lives Matter seeks to be a movement that is intersectional, recognizing that Black lives are af-
fected in many different ways that do not meet the frontlines of mainstream Black movements. As this movement continues to spread across the nation, and people continue to organize and stand in solidarity against racial and intersectional injustices, we students who believe in social justice also have roles to play. We do not ignore the needs and rights of different people across the country, no matter how “colorblind” we want to pretend to be. We do not co-opt movements into approaches that make us feel more comfortable such as “All Lives Matter;” All lives aren’t being perpetually dehumanized, systematically oppressed, or culturally stigmatized. We do not overlook our past -- we remember it so we can use it to better our nation. We join the ranks of this movement. We stand in solidarity with people of Ferguson. And we bravely and proudly proclaim that in spite of what American media and Anti-Black culture teaches us, that yes, Black lives do in fact matter.

Ideas
Understanding #BlackLivesMatter Lloyd | According to BlackLivesMatter.com, the official website of the movement, “#BlackLivesMatter was created in 2012 after Trayvon Martin’s killer, George Zimmerman, was acquitted. Rooted in the experiences of Black people in this country who actively resist our de-humanization, #BlackLivesMatter is a call to action and a response to the virulent anti-Black racism that permeates our society.” When the movement became more visible after the murder of Mike Brown in Ferguson, MO and the murder of Eric Garner in Staten Island, NY, we as a student body stood in solidarity and marched the streets of Berrien Springs; proclaiming that we will not ignore repressive institutionalized regimes that leave people dead without justice. However, there are also many on this campus, whether they were there or not, that do not understand the overarching message of Black Lives Matter. The first thing we should know and accept is, police brutality isn’t new. Most of us have seen historShastri
ic video clips of police officers ordering dogs to attack civilians, and spraying fire hoses on innocent people during the early 1950s & 60s Civil Rights Movement. If you’ve seen the film “Selma,” you saw police officers brutally assault campaigners time and time again; for example, Bloody Sunday on March 7, 1965, or the shooting of Jimmie Lee Jackson on February 18, 1965. The Ku Klux Klan, the racist organization that carried out many lynchings, cross-burnings, and other forms of intimidation & bigotry were primarily made up of local police & county sheriff departments. On March 3, 1991, Rodney King was brutally attacked by five LAPD officers; “luckily” for him, it was caught on tape and charges were pursued against the officers. The 1992 Los Angeles riots occurred soon after the police officers involved were acquitted. Unarmed Amadou Diallo was shot forty-one times by NYPD officers outside of his apartment on February 4th, 1999. The officers involved were charged and all acquitted. On November 26, 2005, Sean Bell and
two of his friends were shot at fifty times in their vehicle. The shooting resulted in the death of Sean Bell the morning before his wedding. The three officers involved were charged and all acquitted (notice a trend). And the number of dead people continue to climb: Aiyanna Jones, Oscar Grant, Vonderrit Myers, Yvette Smith, Tamir Rice, Ramarley Graham, Tarika Wilson, Aaron Campbell, and many, many others.The outrage didn’t spark over the death of two people in 2014, but rather the deaths of many who continue to die without justice at the hands of police officers. Second, the movement is not about a few bad cops giving good cops a bad name, it’s about systems that are working behind the deaths of so many Black individuals that span American history. Unconscious bias and racial prejudice affect how police officers interact with people of color on a daily basis. Twelve-year-old Tamir Rice was gunned down in seconds after police arrived at the park near his home in Ohio to find him playing with his toy gun. John Craw-
ford was also killed in a Walmart in Ohio while carrying a toy gun when police arrived and shot him. Remarkably, Ohio is an open-carry state where it perfectly legal to carry real, loaded weapons. So then what prompted the police to kill these two individuals? And another important question, why weren’t these police officers charged with a crime? Our current justice system leaves little-to-no justice for people who are victims of police violence. It’s no wonder that our culture reveals cops as feeling “above the law” when American history often proves these sentiments. Crimes committed by law enforcement often go unreported, unprosecuted, or later acquitted. Even in cases where the officer is convicted, such as in the case of the murder of Oscar Grant, the officer involved was sentenced to two years and only served a total of eleven months. Our justice system has allowed for cops to legally exercise racial prejudices in policing, as well as pardoning their crimes against civilians. This goes way beyond the

Divorcing God from Politics Emily Cancel | Separation of
church and state sounds good on paper and makes for a more functional government, but individually, it’s easier said than done. Much as people like to claim that they can separate their priorities, no one can do it completely. It is impossible for a person with a whole and healthy brain to completely prevent one thought from affecting another in any way. Professing a belief in something is no small matter. Merriam-Webster de-
fines belief as, “a feeling of trust in the worth or ability of someone or something,” so professing belief in something, but then hiding it in favor of recognition for a different belief constitutes a form of deceit, as it breaks that trust. One cannot maintain integrity while supporting opposing ideas in the same way that one cannot fight both sides of a boxing match. Most people find a way to combine their beliefs and make them cooperate, rather than applying one set of
beliefs to one situation, and a different set of beliefs to a different situation. This practice of making beliefs cooperate with each other sometimes comes from a need to rationalize to two sets of possibly incompatible beliefs, but in the end, religion usually wins out. Granted, not everyone sympathizes with an established religion, but even an atheist will use his lack of religion as a foundation. Atheists have no higher power dictating to them what is acceptable or unac-
ceptable, and their political views reflect that. The more devout a follower of a traditional religion, the more conservative their political tendencies. An example situation: one may be an orthodox Jew, but wish to support gay marriage. If one’s religion prohibits the acceptance of something one politically supports, the subsequent conflict, if left alone, will damage either one’s religious or political health. Something has to give, so the individual has a tough choice to make.
Either they will disregard their previous religious belief that gay marriage is against God and the Bible, or they will give up supporting gay marriage. If political views and religious beliefs do not contradict each other, then a very solid belief system can be formed. Lincoln notably said, “A house divided cannot stand.” Some people’s religious and political beliefs illustrate this divided house concept, and so they remain lukewarm on controversial issues. Whether we
intend them to or not, religious preference is usually so ingrained in our worldview that it affects our political views as well. The wise would do well to accept that religion is going to creep in to political preference, and learn to balance the two to achieve a strong political platform.

Featured Athlete: Jordan Holzschuher Name: Jordan Holzschuher Class: Senior Major: Biochemistry Sport: Ice Hockey Interviewed by: Tim McLean Tim McGuire Pulse Editor How many years have you been playing hockey?
Four years, officially. Unofficially, my whole life. What caused you to want to join the team?
I never played organized hockey when I was younger (due to Sabbath issues), and it is a good opportunity to play with people who aren’t too, too good. How many hours a week does hockey take up, in terms of practice, games, and random other stuff?
Four hours a week total. How difficult is it finding a balance of time between school, work and being on the team?
It’s actually pretty easy. I find it to be easy. It’s not as bad as soccer. What is the most unexpected thing, both good and bad that has come from hockey?
Bad: Getting hit with the puck.
And sometimes people are mean on the ice and swear at you. Good: Being on a team with fun people and the relaxing atmosphere. What is your favorite thing about joining the team?
Letting my aggressive side out on the ice. I’m normally a quiet person. What is your least favorite element about being on the AU Cardinals Hockey Team?
Not as much student support as we would like, since the games are in South Bend. What would you say have been the most important things you have learned from being on the team this semester?
Keeping your cool if you are losing. It’s easy to lose your motivation. How many games have you guys played as of the time of this interview (conducted on 2/4/2015)?
Only one game. Our season just started. Is there any advice that you would give anyone else who is interested in playing hockey?
Keep working hard, as it is a tough sport. Get better at skating. Is there anything else you would like to say or comment on?
Come out and support the team! It’s always a great show and it’s fun and entertaining.
Passing is more important than shooting. For a long time, I have been a puck-hog and a shooter. What are the three things that are essential for any hockey player?
Keeping your head up, keeping your stick on the ground, and [being] a team player. What is the biggest in-game challenge? JORDAN, CENTER, WITH TEAMMATES

#WithDad Jordan Jackson | This year’s NFL
Super Bowl XLIX, between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, was a close one. The final score was 28-24 and the Patriots took home the win. Besides the pizza, nachos and the wings, there is one other thing that everyone looks forward to when the Super Bowl rolls around. That one awesome thing is the Super Bowl commercials. When it’s time to take a break, everyone is glued to his or her seats quietly anticipating hilarious or heart felt commercials. For the 2015 game, Nissan felt that instead of having the usual teaser campaigns, their commercials should send out a message. Their message was to show the journey that not only dads, but moms and children as well, face when trying to balance family and work. At the end of each commercial, there would be the hashtag, “#withdad.” If you were to go look up the hash tag, you would find that Nissan has teamed up with different organizations to help struggling, hardworking families who have been striving for togetherness across the years. The cam-
paign will then donate $1,000,000 to two organizations that will help people build better lives for themselves as well as their families. Nissan’s slogan for this campaign is “We support our partners. They
support families in need.” Within this campaign, “#withdad” is so much more than what we see when we click the hash tag on our twitter, Facebook or Instagram accounts. It is a celebration -
a celebration of the ingenious and electrifying ways that dads make life better for their families, while at the same juggling their own life and jobs. So when you get the chance, don’t forget to thank your
dad for all that he has sacrificed and done to make our lives better.

Cardinal Classic Recap Justin Walker | The Cardinal
Classic, a basketball tournament featuring some of the best Adventist high school teams across America and Canada, ended Saturday night as a champion from each of the four divisions was crowned. The champions were Madison Academy, who won both Men’s and Women’s division II, Ozark Adventist Academy, winners of Women’s division I, and Andrews Academy, who won Men’s division I. The night started off with the Women’s division II final, which saw Madison Academy take on Collegedale Adventist Youth in Action in what turned out to be the best game of the night. The score was close throughout the entire game
as neither team was willing to back down, but in this sport there can only be one winner as Madison Academy squeaked by with a 40-39 victory. The second game of the night featured the men of Madison Academy, who were looking to make it a clean sweep for their school with the only thing standing in their way being the Andrews Academy JV team. The game started off being close before Madison built themselves some breathing room heading into halftime. After the break Madison Academy blew open their lead, and while the Andrews JV fought back it was too late as Madison took the title by the score of 38-25. The division I Women’s game
pitted Ozark Adventist Academy against Michiana. Both teams came out of the gate firing, but it didn’t take long for Ozark to build up a nice lead before halftime. In the second half, Michiana never was able to seriously threaten Ozark’s lead as they cruised to the title 43-30. The final game of the night had a special flavor to it as the matchup of Crawford vs Andrews Academy turned into somewhat of an America vs Canada game. With both national anthems being sung and several “We The North” banners up in support of Crawford, the battle was on. Both teams went on scoring runs to start off the first half with Crawford looking in con-
trol at first before Andrews countered with some control of their own. After a tight first half the score read 28-26 in favor of Andrews Academy. In the second half the game was blown wide open as Andrews Academy would go on to score the next 14 points in the game and build up a sizable lead that they would never relinquish, ultimately winning the championship 61-40.

What is your favorite thing about Andrews?
I’m going to found an NGO or a non-profit [organization]. I want people to realize the importance of being part of the political process, and get rid of this notion of entitlement and political correctness. I think as a society we still have a long way to go—a lot more fighting for liberty and equality—and it will take hard work, guts, and integrity to get there.

It’s definitely the different perspectives people bring. I like that I’m always learning something new from talking to people. I think that’s important because it shows the commitment Andrews University has to diversity and open discussion. That’s something I’m going to keep working towards next year as editor-in-chief. If you had to make up a political party based on your current campaign, what would you name it?
I’d probably name it something like “The Progressive-Transparency Party.” I would want it to be something that reflects the progressive and active thinking I want to encourage, along with my priority of staying connected and in tune with the student body and fighting for transparency in the administration and on campus.

If I had been asked this question a year ago, I would have naively said an attorney. Now, the honest answer is that I just don’t know, and I think that’s okay. I used to think that with my specific skill set, I would be able to make a difference and be successful in the field of law. I still think that, but the older I get the less limited my perspective becomes. I suppose when I grow up I want to make a significant difference in people’s lives, and that can be done doing an infinite amount of things. As long as I can still be useful to people and for God’s purpose, I will be satisfied with my living.

A German Requiem Demetri Kirchberg | Music is one
Shanelle Kim Arts & Entertainment Editor
of the only aspects of life that can belong in every situation. There is a song or score for every emotion, whether they express the great heights of joy, or the mournfully low. Requiems are pieces of music written for Catholic Masses for the deceased, and many have become famous for their powerful and emotive compositions. Among these, one of the most beloved is Johannes Brahms’s A German Requiem, which he finished in 1868. Two tragic deaths struck him before he began his work on this piece: his mother, and his dear friend and fellow composer, Robert Schumann. Steeped in grief, Brahms set out on the three year task of creating his own requiem. Last Sunday, the Southwest Michigan Symphony Orchestra, along with the Southwestern Michigan College Concert Choir, the Citadel Symphony Chorus, and the Lakeshore High School Combine Chorus, performed this masterpiece on our campus. The Howard was sold out, and people were getting turned away at the box office more than an hour before the concert began. They were there to see an unconventional requiem. Though all of the text is taken from scripture, Christ is not present at all. In fact, “God” only appears twice, the majority
of the appeals being to the “Lord.” Brahms wanted to leave out old church tenets, and create a more universalist work for a very universal circumstance. When presented to the clergy, Brahms’s requiem was the source of much debate, but its beauty was undeniable, making it endure the ages. While Brahms is frequently thought of as a traditionalist of the Baroque and Classical eras, it is apparent in the first few moments of the first movement that his requiem has some great Romantic influences. The work begins without the left section of strings, and immediately starts playing with warm, evocative swells, presumably setting the mood for what is to come, but in actuality, it goes to many more places. Some have called this piece manic, going to different extremes, but to anyone who has felt the woes of death, it all fits. There are moments of grandeur and panic (Movement VI), and times of solemn peace (Movement VII). Most have been touched by this tragic subject matter at one point or another in their lives, but Brahms chose to write while still caught up in the middle of it. This helps explain why aspects like the parts of soloists Sarah Gartshore and Jonathan Beyer were so deeply emotive. It’s because they were written to be expressive, and with
the threads of Romantic inspiration comes sincere honesty. The score is undeniably genius. Even to laymen’s ears, the motifs are present. One of the more frequent ones consists of a leap to a major third and then a half step up. Perhaps something not clearly heard, but certainly felt, was the arc of keys created by the seven movements, reaching its apex with the soprano solo, and then coming back down to familiar territory. Motifs of nearly identical chord progression are found in the first and last movements surrounding the word “blessed,” allowing the audience to leave on a note of contentment. The Southwest Michigan Symphony Orchestra will be coming back to the Howard in May, and if their performance then is nearly as beautifully done as Brahms’ A German Requiem, then I highly suggest you attend.

Kevin Gross: Fractals & Art Exhibition Fonda Mwangi | I was not familiar
with fractals, and the first thing I noticed is how intricate they are. My eyes almost got lost looking at the image. Let’s backtrack a bit. Fractals are complex shapes and patterns that are mathematically based and reflect things in nature. They are created with computers. Kevin J. Gross has been creating fractals for twenty-five years. His art exhibition is in the Art & Design Gallery located in Smith Hall. Kevin Gross’ SpiritFire Images include a variety of fractals that he has personally crafted. Gross is a self-taught artist who currently lives in Goshen, Indiana. His artwork is well-respected, and has won awards including First Place at the Elkhart Art League’s Annual Juried Show and Competition, Best Digital Work at both the 10th and 11th Michiana Annual Art Competitions, and several others. Gross’ artwork is also included in corporate collections in northern Indi-
ana and private collections from locations including Boston and Denver. His art is called the “interface of math and beauty.” Each image in the exhibit is captivating. I was immediately enthralled with trying to understand the fractal. It almost feels three-dimensional, like the image is reaching out to you. Gross’ fractals include a wide spectrum of colors. There seemed to be two aspects to every image. The details which first attracted me showed the intertwining mathematics of the work--then, if you step back, the bigger image is evident. “Autumnal Projection” was my favorite art piece; the orange, red, yellow, and brown hues of fall were all present in the fractal. It was almost like you were microscopic and were looking at a leaf, seeing all the details that can’t be seen by the naked human eye. I was tempted to touch the fractal-it was almost tangible. I never
imagined that the combination of math and art could make such a beautiful image. In Gross’ artist’s statement, he claims his fractal artwork is the interface between two worlds. One world is calculated, logical, and objective, and the other is emotional, soul-stirring, and subjective. Some of the fractals were like an explosion of colors of different shapes and patterns, and they represented ideas. However, though they were beautiful, I appreciated even more the ones that were more structured, because my mind could automatically connect them to something familiar. I enjoyed how each artwork jogged my thoughts. I was just not blankly staring but I had to engage my mind to comprehend what was in front of me. The exhibit will be open until February 15, 2015. I encourage you to take a look and expand your horizons. Witness the phenomena of fractals.

Throwback of the Week: Flyleaf Demetri Kirchberg | It’s been ten
years since the music industry was taken by a little four-foot-ten girl with the biggest voice anyone had heard in a long time. Her name was Lacey Mosley, and together with four friends, they became the group Flyleaf. In 2005 they released their debut, a self-titled album, and it started grabbing people’s attention for multiple reasons. Whether it was the inspired deep groove, the highly spiritual and challenging lyrics, or Lacy’s skyscraping vocals, listeners from multiple genre groups flocked towards them. The most attractive aspect of this album is its brutal honesty and fearlessness. The band has been accepted into the Christian rock
community for their open display of spirituality. In songs like “All Around Me” and “So I Thought,” Flyleaf is clearly and directly praising their God, but this is by no means a “praise and worship” album; in that they quickly separated themselves from other Christian rock acts like Casting Crowns or Jars of Clay. Their innovative instrumentation and melodies, with certain grunge influences, brought them mainstream success, and the hard rock community welcomed them. Songs like “Fully Alive” and “Breathe Today” exhibit a confidence and bravery in their unique musical choices that is often not heard in debut albums. There is a seamless fusion of post-grunge feel with groove rock instrumenta-

The industry is still maledominated in the rock scene, but ten years ago, the scales were even more unbalanced. Flyleaf had no choice but to stand out in order to get attention, and songs like “Perfect” do just that. A track called “Cassie” grabbed audiences and demanded respect. It tells the story of Cassie Bernall, a 17-year-old girl who was killed in the horrific Columbine massacre for professing her faith. The chorus opens with the lines, “Do you believe in God? written on the bullet. Say yes to pull the trigger.” Flyleaf brought this message of bravery to listeners all around the world on tours with non-spiritual bands like

Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin. Mosely’s tortured and turbulent performance brought a gravity to these words that she has utilized throughout the rest of her career. MTV caught wind of Flyleaf and showcased singles like the very popular album opener, “I’m So Sick.” This track called out society for infecting people with shallow longings. Bassist Pat Seals opens up the song with a brooding riff that sets the thoughtful and aggressive tone for the rest of the album. Mosley joins in with “Let me live without this empty bliss, selfishness” - a line that has been sung back to her a thousand times by their devoted fanbase. Ten years down the road, Flyleaf has now released four albums and a few EPs. In 2012, Mosley stepped down as frontwoman for reasons mostly influenced by the recent birth of her son and the death of a close friend. Though much of the fanbase was upset, Flyleaf decided to continue on and hired vocalist Kristen May, formerly of Vedera. They’re about to hit the road as headliners on the annual Snocore tour which is making stops in South Bend and Chicago in February. The energy and passion that they first established in their original album a decade ago has only increased, and I highly recommend getting a ticket to one of these shows.

The Last Word
Choices
Melodie Roschman Editor-in-Chief
“When people have the freedom to choose,” the Chief Elder says simply, “they choose wrong. Every single time.” Though unique to the film adaptation, when watching The Giver this Sunday I was struck by how perfectly this line sums up the questions asked by a book so many of us grew up reading: Is choice worth the price of pain? Is it better to be happy or to be free to make mistakes? This question of the value of choice—and our fear of what would happen if it were taken away— shows up in a lot of the stories we tell about the future. In Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, women are assigned a role either giving birth or serving as domestic servants, instead of getting to choose romantic partners. In The Hunger Games, citizens are controlled by the Capitol, confined to their districts, and forced into the Games; it is Katniss’s choice to sacrifice herself and defy Capitol rules that ignites the revolution. And, in The Giver, Jonas comes to realize that a society where everything is safe, predetermined and standardized is one in which true beauty,

joy, and love cannot exist. The problem with dystopian novels like this is that they often make things too easy: by imagining totalitarian worlds of oppression and control, choice becomes a simple and attractive thing. Of course we want a world with divergent possibilities, with color, with diversity. Of course we want a world where we can decide what happens to us. In that world, however, things become more complicated. The Chief Elder’s assertion comes back to haunt us: people choose wrong, again and again. Whether it’s as small as going to a terrible movie or as significant as getting involved in a toxic relationship or voting for a disappointing president, our choices can hurt us— sometimes irrevocably. The question of choice is certainly one that’s plagued me this year; it’s appeared again and again in this column, in my conversations with friends, and in my thoughts. Faced with too many possibilities for my future, with the knowledge that a choice both as simple and nuanced as which
graduate school I go to will irrevocably alter the rest of my life, I become paralyzed. “There are so many options,” I complained to my friend Amy recently. “What if I pick wrong? What if I don’t get a happy ending, and it’s all my fault?” With AUSA elections this week, all of us are facing a set of choices we cannot guarantee the outcome of. While speeches, platforms, and promises are important, it is only in the coming year that we’ll see whether candidates live up to our expectations. We could choose wrong. Many of you will opt not to vote in AUSA elections, perhaps out of apathy, or indecision, or a dissatisfaction with the options you have. And that is your valid and defensible choice. The one thing you cannot escape, however, is that the decision not to choose is still a choice. That is the predicament we are all in— we cannot not choose. Whether we like it or not, we live in the world that The Giver has escaped—a world of consequences, regret, and questionable tattoos. I still second-guess myself all
the time. I still spend time crippled by anxiety that I’m going to ruin everything, or despairing that certain realities are inevitable and there’s nothing I can do to alter them. But ultimately, I’m still glad I live in this world of impossible choices. Because with choice comes possibility – potential – promise. The Chief Elder was wrong: sometimes we choose right. And for me, at least, it’s worth the risk.

Hindsight
Renouncing their inherent affection for flowers, E.M.C. co-eds appeared as lovely as ever at the Spring Festival, Sunday evening, February 11, although lacking the traditional left shoulder corsage. Considering the work of mission rehabilitation of more lasting worth than a few hours’ pleasure, the young collegiennes had requested their escorts to donate the amount usually spent on flowers to the special offering for this purpose. Imagine [sic] decorators had transformed the auditorium into an enchanting dreamland. Aquamarine fadeaways, shimmering in the soft light, framed a lake-side park in all its springtime beauty; while overhead, scarlet hearts, flowers, and cupids mingled in the ethereal white sky. Keynote for the evening’s program was sounded by a duoden-
ary of lovely maidens as, coiffured a la Gay 90’s and wearing high, black chokers, they reminisced of the halcyon days “Down by the Old Mill Stream.” The program centered around an afternoon in the life of young Judson Comstack (Darrell Holtz) who, on his way to visit his fiancee (Elaine Oliver) missed train connections and was forced to wait over in the small town of Oak Center. His afternoon’s activities formed the theme of the program. Robert Edwards, Melville Hillier, Paul Weicher, and Loy Folla appeared in a new guise as the reincarnation of the traditional barbershop quartet in a scene replete with barber’s chair, single-edge razor, strop and pot-bellied stove. Gowned in a demure azure creation, Merry Race sang “My Sweet Little Alice-blue Gown.” After Irene Sansonetti had vo-
cally coerced Joe Williams into taking her out to the ball game, the scene shifted to “Casey at the Bat” with the mighty Phil Fetter enacting the part of Casey while Charles Edwards read the familiar ballad. Next the strains of “A Bicycle Built for Two” furnished background music for a couple strolling in the park. Next Lyle Chaffee played a man who metamorphosed into a violinist strangely resembling Harold Böhr, and Marcy Ulvick emerged from a contraption looking suspiciously like the everphotogenic Betty Ann Lawson. In lieu of the customary floral offering verbal bouquets should be accorded Robert Woodman for a splendid interpretation of “I’ll Take You Home Again Kathleen,” to Roland Blackburn for his organ music, to the food committee under the direction of Alethia Shook, to Larry Wallington and Turner
