Open Letter To My Attacker There are so many things I want to say to you. But I’m not sure where to start. I guess you thought I was a perfect target, though I can’t imagine why. Dirty hiking boots, blue jeans, a white t-shirt and a rainbow scarf, rocking granny panties and a sports bra underneath. This was the outfit of the girl you forced yourself upon — without her makeup on, without her hair done. And two beers in. I am the girl you willingly held down for your own satisfaction. You waited until everyone was away from me to make your move. You are a coward. And your friend that sat there and watched, even more so. I told you I didn’t want to kiss you and you kissed me anyway. I told you not to unbutton my pants. You did it anyway. I told you to stop and you simply did not. When my scarf was shoved into my mouth and used to cover my eyes, I convinced myself to just let it happen. When I felt you start to finger me, I tried convincing myself that I wanted this to happen — only to fight back the tears. But when I realized your finger wasn’t your finger at all, I froze. And before I could do anything you were already finished, sacrificing my scarf to clean up the mess you left behind on my stomach. For the past two years and four months I have not been able to openly love because of the five minutes and thirty seconds you stole from me. I told myself that I deserved what I got. That I wasn’t worth someone thinking I was more than just a vessel for sex. That I somehow deserved being used. I have been living in secret shame afraid to run into you in public. I may never know your name but I will never forget your eyes. You are the reason I don’t feel safe walking home alone. You are the reason I can’t enjoy drinking a Bud Light anymore. You are the reason that I don’t feel beautiful or believe it when people tell me so. Your five minutes and thirty seconds of satisfaction stole so much more from
me than you will ever know. You can’t justify your actions. I wasn’t asking for sex. I wasn’t flirting with you. I wasn’t drunk. The beautiful rainbow scarf my mom bought for me for Christmas three years ago hangs in the back of my closet and will probably never be worn again. She asks me why she never sees it on me and I just make up excuses. After two years and four months I finally have the courage to tell you how you treated me was not OK. Grabbing me by the neck after you were finished and threatening to beat me if I told anyone was not OK. Leading me to believe you were a trustworthy guy — not OK. The sad reality is that you are not the only guy in this town that thinks this is OK. I’m not writing this for the sympathy vote. I’m not telling my story now to send you to jail, although it’s what you deserve. I want to tell you that forced sex is not OK and will never be OK. I hope and pray you have not and will not do this to anyone else. You don’t understand the amount of social anxiety rape victims face. The reason the majority of sexual assault cases are never reported isn’t because we don’t know how to reach out for help. Sex is already uncomfortable enough to talk about with friends and family, let alone complete strangers who wear the hats of counselors, doctors and police officers. Sexual assault is not easy to talk about. Especially in a college town. I don’t want to be known as the chick who got raped 10 times as much as you don’t want to be known as the rapist. So you think fear and intimidation is the way to circumvent that, but I hope by sharing our story, others will have the courage to share theirs. It took me two years and four months, but I forgive you. I forgive you for all of the pain and anxiety you caused me. I forgive you for taking advantage of my friendly personality. I forgive you for raping me.

A shocking taste of taser GC Public Safety trains new officers to use a taser KARLEY SPEER @GCSUNADE On Wednesday, at the Centennial Center five individuals got to feel what it’s like being shot with a taser. These individuals participated in a training session held by Lieutenant Gary Purvis in order for them to receive their permits to carry and operate tasers. Two citizens about to enroll in the Police Academy and three already-mandated officers made up the group of trainees. “We are trying to get all of our officers taser certified,” Purvis said. “This gives them an
extra tool to use that is less than lethal and is less of a liability.” During the session the individuals were taught how a taser works, when it is acceptable to use their weapon, the medical precautions that should be used and how to treat someone after being tased. Even though it is not required to get certified, all of those who attended the training session volunteered to get tased in order to understand how it feels. “We encourage them to get tased just because of credibility and it allows them to see what it does to somebody else if they have to use it,” Purvis said.
“I was pretty nervous and then it kind of tapered off during the day,” said junior psychology major Heather Brinkley. “I was more anxious to get it over with until we started doing the test firing and then my nerves jumped up again, seeing it actually get shot.” Afterwards, all the participants had a greater respect for what tasers can do to the human body. “It felt like one of those electric pens that electrocute your thumb,” said Public Safety Communications Officer Shelby Osborne. “It felt like that all over your body.”

Q&Awith Associate Provost NICOLE KRINSKY @GCSUNADE
The Colonnade sat down with Dr. Tom Ormond, Associate Provost at Georgia College, and talked with him about his recent acceptance into the American College of Education (ACE) 2015 Fellows Program. The program offers emerging leaders at universities nationwide the opportunity to travel to host institutions in order to conduct research to better their home institution. colonnade: What was the process leading up to your acceptance into the ACE program? tom ormond: Well, we started sometime around November or December of last year, but I heard back about a week ago. [President Dorman] nominated me, and then after my nomination I had to complete this really lengthy application and then three colleagues completed their recommendations for me on top of that. It was the president plus three others and myself that put together this package and then shipped it off to ACE. colonnade: Other than the paperwork, what will some of your daily duties be within the program? ormond: Within the program, the very first thing that you have to figure out is if you had an opportunity to go to another institution for a particular reason, why would you want to go there? The top three things that I want to target would be: (1) the issue of student success and how I can make sure the environment is set up so you can do well as a student, (2) to get a handle on diversity, (3) and the third thing I want to get into are strategies for recruiting graduate students. colonnade: What are your feelings about being nominated by the president of the university? ormond: It’s an honor to be nominated and it’s prestigious because people across the country know what ACE is: it’s a leadership development program. The president and provost have both been a part of it, and when [President Dorman] asked me if I wanted to be a part of it, I thought it was a great opportunity. It’s a commitment to the institution and me and ACE.
colonnade: The ACE website says that as an ACE fellow, you will be doing placements at other universities. Where will you be going and for how long? ormond: There’s a part of this process where you need to figure out whether you’re going to be there the whole year, a semester or you do a periodic, which is a minimum of 12 weeks. It’s a negotiation, too, of how long they actually want you. Right now [ACE] has asked me to identify 12 institutions that I’d love to be in. My target right now is to look at institutions that might help how we, as a public liberal arts institution, can function. I want to look at institutions that could be aligned with ours but different, so I might look at private schools that act like public schools. Elon University is a classic example. We do it well, but they do it really well, so it would be a great opportunity if I could slide into there. The other thing, too, is I want to get back out to New Zealand for a couple of weeks. colonnade: Is that where you are from, New Zealand? ormond: Yes, but I’ve been in the states for 30 years and I haven’t been back other than just for a vacation. If I can secure a president or chancellor over there for the ACE program, it would be invaluable to spend time with them because how they operate is incredibly different from here. It’s more the type of person, because the chancellor at the institution that I want to go to is basically a politician, and that’s a little different than over here. colonnade: What are you looking to get out of the emerging leadership side of the ACE program? ormond: You’re key title there, emerging, is like prepping for the next step. That doesn’t mean that once you do this emerging fellows program that you will leave your institution, but if you look at the track record of people, there has been a lot of movement. In terms of where I’m going to go, who knows? I might just want to come back and stay put, but then again you can get the bug to leave too.

Students will move for a MS-free world Macon to host Walk MS, a charitable event KATIE SKOGEN @KATIESKOGEN The middle Georgia community will come together tomorrow to walk toward a world free of multiple sclerosis. Walk MS Macon will take place at the Geico Corporate Campus in Macon, Georgia. Walk MS: Georgia 2015 is composed of nine Walk MS events across the state. “Walk MS Macon is a rallying point of the MS movement,” said senior mass communication major Jessica Flake. “It’s an opportunity to connect the GC students and local community to raise funds supporting those fighting MS. It’s a rewarding experience for both the team and those involved in the event.” Multiple sclerosis is a disabling disease of the central nervous system that interrupts the flow of information between the brain and body. Side effects include paralysis, numbness and blindness. People with MS are often diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, and at least two to three more women than men are diagnosed annually. MS affects more than 2.3 million people worldwide. Georgia College Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) is bringing awareness to the event and is working hard to make this year’s event raise the most money ever. “The team has been working very hard to put together an event that will raise both awareness and funds for such

an important cause,” said senior mass communication major Brooke Richards. “Each member has given 110 percent of effort knowing that their hard work will go to help those living with MS.” The team members of PRSSA have been working with the Walk MS movement for a few years and the volunteers assist with everything from walking in the race to working in the activities. The people who volunteer in this movement are dedicated to raising money and awareness, as well as creating a positive environment. “After working with Walk MS for the last few years, I have gotten to know a number of individuals within this warm group of people,” senior mass communication major Kim Fowler said. “Walking and cheering behind them and my peers is such a rewarding and uplifting experience, and I encourage all GCSU students to come out to volunteer or walk. The joy and positivity is beyond compare.” All of the money raised from the event goes to fund research for a cure, as well as Georgia Chapter programs and services. Aside from the money raised, these events help connect people for a greater cause, and spread awareness for MS. “This year the walk is sports themed, so get your game face on and come walk for those fighting multiple sclerosis,” Richards said.

Corey Smith had it right y’all. Former North Charleston police officer Michael Slager was arrested Tuesday on a murder charge for killing Walter Scott. His termination was announced Wednesday after the video of Slager shooting unarmed Scott went viral online. The video was turned over to the Scott’s family because the man who shot the video said he “would have liked to know the truth.” Slager had originally claimed self-defense until the video was brought to the police.

The NFL hired the first female referee Wednesday. Sarah Thomas is one of nine new officials named to the league. When asked about her new position, Thomas said, “I am a female, but I don’t look at myself as just a female. I look at myself as an official.” Way to break the stereotype and be professional, you go girlfriend. (ESPN)

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was convicted on all charges Wednesday in the Boston Marathon bombing. The 21-year-old was convicted on 30 counts against him, including conspiracy and deadly use of a weapon of mass destruction. Seventeen counts are punishable by death. Whether or not Tsarnaev will receive the death penalty is still being deliberated. The 12-member jury must have a unanimous vote to receive the sentence. The other outcome is life in prison.

Burger-King wedding

In oddity news this week, Burger King will be paying for the expenses and providing gifts for the wedding of a couple from Illinois -- Joel Burger and Ashley King. The couple said they have been known as “Burger-King” since they had class together in the fifth grade. They announced their engagement recently with a photo next to the sign at a local Burger King restaurant. Although having someone pay for my entire wedding sounds great, I don’t know if I could theme “the happiest day of my life” after someone whose claim to fame is chicken fries. (The Associated Press)

Our Voice: Editor fired for story idea
Dear Miss Milly, Every day I find myself eating the same foods, and although I am bored of this routine, I don’t have a lot of time or money to switch it up. My daily three normally consists of a Pop-Tart for breakfast, mac ‘n’ cheese for lunch and pizza for dinner. I know I should eat healthier, too, but that usually costs more. Any ideas on how to spice up my meals?
THE EDITORIAL STAFF @GCSUNADE For those of you who haven’t heard the story, Erica Corder, the Editor-in-Chief of Virginia Tech’s student newspaper, wanted to write a story about how some questionable finances have left the Educational Media Company- the nonprofit organization that oversees all student media at the public institution- with an uncertain future. After leaders in the organization heard about her story, she was fired from her job, which if you ask us, is total bullshit. Corder was not given a fair chance to state her case, and after much debate, it is clear that the Educational Media Company at Virginia Tech, along with university officials, clearly violated its own due process policies. On March 24, Corder was asked to step out of a weekly meeting with the Management Advisory Team, a group of student leaders from each student media organization and their advisers, so the advisory board could discuss alleged personnel issues, Corder said. From outside the door, she heard her peers and colleagues discussing her finance story and her potential termination as a direct result of her story. But the story was never published. Corder said the objective of her story was to explain the relationship between Virginia Tech and the student media company, the decline in ad revenue since 2008 and how the two planned to move forward. Corder was unjustly punished for wanting to pursue what all journalists should have the freedom to do - cover a story. It is absurd to think that a journalist can be fired for her ideas, let alone without a chance to explain or defend them. As journalists, and citizens of the free world for that matter, we have this thing called the First Amendment that should protect her right to report on the financial troubles student media at Virginia Tech is facing. Was all of that thrown out the window two weeks ago? Backtracking isn’t going to make this go away for the leadership of the EMCVT. The apparent lack of transparency that exists at Virginia Tech is appalling and troublesome. The First Amendment is what keeps this paper going. It is the root of why we do what we do. The protection from abridging the freedom of speech or infringing on the freedom of the press is something that should always be upheld. The staff of The Colonnade fully supports? Erica Corder and hopes that she has the opportunity to finish and share her story regardless of her pending future with student media at Virginia Tech.
From, Bored with food variety of nutrient-dense options for your lunch. To spice up dinner, you might have to put forth a little more effort than just turning the oven on, but several servings can last you a couple days, saving you time for the rest of the week. Spaghetti, potatoes and salad are easy fixings that also squeeze in some nutrients. If you are looking for healthier dessert options, fruit is a great choice. Strawberries, blueberries and bananas provide vitamins and can help keep that sweet tooth in check. You can also pair them with cool whip, a little sugar, chocolate or ice cream. Just be sure to mind the size of your servings to avoid unwanted extra calories. If you are looking for good snacks, any combo of cheese, cracker, fruit or hummus is a great choice. Try to avoid the sodium stacked chips or syrupy sodas and stick with fresh foods and water. I hope this advice adds a little spice to your meals, and that you begin a track of smart and healthy eating!
Dear Bored with food, Eating the right foods consistently can give you the energy you need to make it through the day and prevent health problems in the future. Having an assortment of healthy foods will keep you on the right track, and provide a variety for your taste buds without too much impact on your budget. I’m sure you’ve heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day — it is. You haven’t eaten since the night before, and it fuels you for the long day ahead, so make sure you don’t skip this meal. If you are looking for quick breakfasts, fruit and yogurt is a great way to start. If you are looking for something with more carbs, bagels and toast with peanut butter will get your day rolling. Cereal can also be a good option, as long as you avoid those sugar-laden cereals and stick with some healthier options instead. Lunch doesn’t have to be Easy Mac every day. You can make a variety of sandwiches, from peanut butter and banana to turkey and cheese. Because you buy these ingredients in bulk, your meals come out cheap, and you get to choose a

You are not defined by your number ...the world through the eyes of Kelly Mainor In light of sexual assault awareness month, I think it is important and relevant to address this fact on a few levels. As a general rule of thumb we use numbers to keep track of different things. Our overall body mass, our progress in a particular class, our sexual partners. And the thing is, everyone’s numbers are always different. It’s part of what makes us who we are. But why do we often feel defined by our numbers? It it peer pressure? Is it the subconscious need to conform? Whether you admit it to yourself or not, there is some number in your life that you wish didn’t exist or that you try to constantly change. For me it is my body weight. I am a size six or an
eight depending on the brand. I weigh 165 pounds. And for some reason, I think those numbers are inadequate. I let it define me, even on my most confident days. My best friend is struggling in her Spanish class. She has a 68 in the class and is fearful of failing the course. This one grade affects her daily thought process. She also takes 18 hours and is hyper involved in organizations on campus. But she let’s it define her. I have a classmate who has slept with seven different guys. This was after she was sexually assaulted. Her experience and the influence of others told her that her self worth was vested in the number of sexual partners she attained during her college career. She let that number
define her. What do all three of these things have in common? At some point, outside influence told us that these numbers matter significantly and should be higher or lower. That my weight isn’t where it should be. That her Spanish grade is subpar- even if it’s her best attempt. That her number of sexual partners was too many or too few. Why do we allow the culture of our environment to worm its way into our subconscious? Numbers shouldn’t define you. Numbers don’t define you. If you are reading this and you find that you define yourself by a number, my advice to you would be this: Don’t.

The last play of the night, “Der Kuss,” fell in the middle of the field in comparison to the other performances. Written by Georgia Knapp and directed by Sam Wilson, the piece didn’t create the most likable characters, but the story was fun, compelling and ironic in that a douche bag with a selfie-stick destroyed an invaluable painting (Der Kuss).
The next most impressive piece of the night was “The Weight of Solitude,” penned by Ian Sargent, directed by Trey Rutherford. It remained genuinely enjoyable throughout, and ended with a heavy, somber tone. A lonely man writing in a coffee shop avoids any kind of personal interaction that he can until his mom comes to see him, bearing a puppet from his childhood- it’s pretty straightforward stuff. The problem? His mom can’t hear him anymore. Fade to black and cue tears.
The first performance of the night, “The Dungeon Master,” written by Adam Nannini and directed by Evan Wells, was also the most polished and entertaining. While the story wasn’t wildly original or interesting in particular, the dialogue was hilarious and well performed. Nannini created a fairly authentic scenario: three nerds play Dungeons and Dragons in a coffee shop when in walks a pretty girl who the chief nerd is in love with. Hilarity ensues with double-entendre about swords to boot.
Last Friday at 8 p.m., a group of talented writers met with a group of talented directors, actors and technicians for the first time. At 8 p.m. the next day, they performed six short plays that were written the night before. Since these plays were produced in 24 hours, some performances were pretty raw, but several stood out that evening.
nick lAndon @reAlnicklAndon
Just 24 hours
Overall, the performances as a whole were wildly impressive- especially since the plays were written, directed and rehearsed in 24 hours. If you didn’t catch 24-Hour Plays this year, don’t miss this event next year. The plays were the funniest things to come from the theatre department, and were well done throughout.
The story that drives “The Box” was intriguing and well-spun, and the pacing was rather nice. The right bits of exposition hit the audience at the right times; The writer and the director payed close attention to that, and did a fine job with this piece. However, “The Box” falls close to the bottom of this list for the cliches in the story of the blue-collar couple this play is about. There wasn’t anything particularly interesting about the couple, but the way they handled the last few seconds of the play was glorious- deciding together to open up the devil’s box as the lights dimmed. Fantastic performances helped carry this piece throughout.
Bringing up the rear of this list, “Group Therapy” was perhaps the weakest of the evening. The only character that wasn’t appallingly loathsome was Will Morris’s Dr. Somethingother. Every other character was an obnoxious caricature of someone who might exist somewhere in the universe. They were all overwhelmingly hard to listen to for most any audience member. The story was original and fairly well written, but the characters were too unlikeable to push the narrative forward. Everything came together pretty well in the end, but the personalities in the performance held the piece back.
“We’ve Loved Each Other For Quite Some Time Now” was a close fourth, and wrapped up rather nicely. The cast was spot on, and the characters were easy to love and relate to. However, the play was plagued by cheap laughs and booger jokes. There were some genuinely funny moments in the play, though, and the piece as a whole was warm and entertaining.

colonnade: What is your favorite part about directing? smith: As a writer, my favorite part of directing is having creative control of how my vision is shared and realized. I love the collaborative process, working closely with other creatives and finding the story again during the edit.
colonnade: What was your inspiration? smith: I am a fan of the horror classics of Kubrick, Fuest, Baker and of course, Hitchcock. This film is an homage to a more slowly developing plot with intricate twists leading to unique killings and sacrifice.

Deronte Smith film ‘Prosper’ will show at the Milledgeville Film Festival
Director prospers
The second annual Milledgeville Film Festival kicks off Wednesday, April 15 with a special screening of Richard Linklater’s Academy Award nominated film, “Boyhood,” and a discussion from one of the film’s producers, Cathleen Sutherland. Sutherland, who also received an Academy Award nomination for her work on “Boyhood,” is one of the many filmmakers flocking to Milledgeville for the film screenings, panels and discussions that will take place from April 15- 19. Though only in its second year, the event is bringing filmmakers from more than 30 countries, including Spain, Albania and Australia, to Milledgeville. The festival shows promising signs of becoming a prominent annual event. “You want it to be the next Sundance,” said Mallory Dean, the festival’s community outreach manager and marketing director. “That’s not out of reach because Sundance is in a smaller town about an hour away from Salt Lake, and we’re a small town about an hour

away from Atlanta.” The festival will also host the premier of “Pencil’s Down” on Friday, April 18 at 11 a.m. The feature-length documentary about the 2007 Writer’s Guild of America strike is scheduled to appear at several major festivals later this year. Film screenings will take place across Milledgeville, at GC, Georgia Military College and the Oconee River Greenway. On Thursday, April 16 at 9 p.m., a special horror film will also be screening at the infamous Central State Hospital, once the country’s largest public asylum. Instead of purchasing tickets for the film, viewers are asked to bring a can of food to donate to Milledgeville’s food pantry. “That’s the big thing about the festival, it wants to give back to the community,” Dean said. She also stressed that the film festival offers an excellent creative outlet for students and local community members interested in film, citing the myriad of student and local submissions the festival has received. “We have a lot of students here that are

extremely creative and want things like film programs and they want to study film and study art,” Dean said. “Bringing these people, bringing these films in, kind of feeds that hunger.” The Magnolia Ballroom will host a gala dinner and awards ceremony on Saturday, April 19 where the festival coordinators and board will recognize some of the event’s outstanding films as well as celebrate the rich history of Milledgeville. Students can purchase tickets to the gala for $50 or an all access pass for $75. The pass grants holders access to special red carpet events, parties and the gala in addition to priority access for film screenings, workshops and panels. Regular admission to the festival’s panels, workshops and film screenings is free for interested Georgia College students. “I suggests students come out and just give it a try,” Dean said. “There’s going to be professors and lecturers from Columbia University, Northwestern, AFI and others. For students and community members, it’s really going to be a wealth of COURTESY OF MILLEDGEVILLE FILM FESTIVAL Screen shots from films featured in the Milledgeville Film Festival next weekend. knowledge.”

THE COLONNADE
When four lives intersect sArAH dickens @gcsUnAde Lights dimmed the Campus Black Box Theatre March 31 and April 1 as four women took the stage, fearless of the future. “InterseXion,” a play written by Georgia College alumnae, Stephanie House, showcased the hardships of characters Izzy, Rose, Porsche and Vi, trapped inside a crashed train after an explosion in the terminal. Senior theatre major, Halley Bowman, directed the play as a part of her capstone project. “As a director, you are a collaborator and a problem-solver,” Bowman said. “That’s basically my job is overseeing the entire production and making sure everything is connecting, fitting and that everyone else’s art is making sense together.” The letter, “X,” in “interseXion” symbolizes the women’s lives crossing paths. Several topics arose in the play, including sexuality and gender roles. Freshman theater major Harlee Pope, got out of her comfort zone playing Rose, a post-op, transgender lesbian. “ I d i d n ’t know how to play that part
without offending people or playing it in the correct manner,” Pope said. “Being a lesbian was different because I am not a lesbian, but it was still awesome and it was cool just getting to get into that mother figure as well, but have a spicy side.” Sophomore theater major, Christina Bignotti, played older character, Vi. “I’ve never played a character that old,” Bignotti said. “I am not that age, so I had to work on my body movement and my breathing to help me age.” Sophomore exercise science major, Allison Esposito, had fun with her role as Porsche. “[Porsche] is a non-filtered 20-year-old who really just loves to point out every single negative thing ever, but likes to do it in a comedic and pokey way,” Esposito said. “It was super cool to be able to completely let go and just channel a part of yourself that you normally don’t get to channel.” “InterseXion” ends with the characters stuck in the train terminal, leaving the audience to decide the fate of the characters. “[The ending] was probably my favorite part of the script,” Bignotti said. “It was a very good idea of the writer to leave it up to the audience. I like stuff like that because it’s open to interpretation.”

About this time five years ago, high school Angie was preparing for the release of Justin Bieber’s newest album, My World 2.0. It was like Christmas in March, complete with a “Justin Day” daily countdown. But his immoral and ridiculous escapades eventually crushed my young, naive love of the supposed upstanding pop star. From special edition CDs to Target’s back-to-school items, I cannot calculate how much money I spent on him. Countless hours of watching music videos, memorizing song lyrics and writing fan fiction added onto my already overflowing amount of Bieber dorkiness. My small high school knew me as the Bieber expert, and, apparently, still does to this day, thanks to the loving teachers who insist on letting all the current students know my dark past. I guess it’s better to be remembered for something than for nothing at all, right? Even though I wasn’t allowed to have a Twitter account, I followed Bieber’s public account like a map to my life. I knew when he was in Tokyo, when his newest single was dropping, what his most recent tattoo looked like. I knew the names of his family members and friends. His life story of rags to riches. His birthday, birthplace and thencurrent residence. I even dressed up as him for Halloween one year and looked so good that I convinced two of my guy friends in high school that he (he being me dressed as Justin) was my secret boyfriend who went to the local public school. You could say I was pretty much an A-list stalker. He became purely “Justin” in my conversations with friends, like I knew him personally because in my mind, I did. I guess I justified my unattainable, unrequited love with the unconscious hope that one day that love would become a reality. Yes, ridiculous, I know. But my subconscious made it seem just logical enough to become an issue. He is my age and, at that time, lived an hour from my house. I was friends with people who went to school with him. My reality was so close in physical and ideological proximity to his that I made myself into some celebrity crazed fan girl. But as I rounded the final corner of high school, my obsession faded significantly, thank God. He had succumbed to the Hollywood standard of immaturity, and I had matured. We had grown apart and become different people, so the relationship ended. I am unashamed of my past as a Belieber. Though many don’t understand, I know that most people have a teenage celebrity crush that mirrors my story. I’m here to say stay strong to who you are and who you were. I may not follow Bieber’s Twitter or listen to his current music anymore, but I maintain that he has talent and that the guy I, dare I say, fell in love with is still underneath all the nasty 2015 Justin Bieber.

She’s not asking for it Sexual assault has become a nationwide issue that needs to be stopped; college campuses have taken initiative to prevent assaults among students mAry Henderson
@mAreHenderson April is Sexual Assault Aw a r e n e s s m o n t h a n d universities across the country are observing it by educating students on how to recognize and prevent sexual assault from happening on college campuses. Someone in America is sexually assaulted every 107 seconds, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. It is estimated that nearly 2025 percent of attempted or complete rape victimization occurs among women in higher educational institutions, according to the National Institute of Justice. Throughout April, the GC Women’s Center will be hosting various programs in order to help raise awareness of the severity of sexual assault. Take Back the Night, trivia night, poetry night, focus groups and training sessions are all included in the schedule. Sexual violence is a major issue, and the only way to bring it to an end is to hold everyone accountable. Alexa Williams, a junior criminal justice and theater major who serves as the coordinator for the Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity, hopes this month will engage the GC student body and increase awareness of sexual assault to prevent it from happening in the future. “Sexual assault is real – it’s happening. It is the threat,” Williams said. “Taking the time to educate yourself is an act of care for those who have suffered and those who should never have to. It’s important to know what happens to people. In the face of any threat, humanity has proven time and time again that what matters
will be able to prevent it from happening in the future.” If you have been sexually assaulted, it is important to remember you are not at fault. Know the facts and be prepared to reduce the risk of sexual assault: •Be aware of your surroundings. Knowing where you are and who is around may help you find ways to get out of bad situations. •Avoid isolated areas. •Walk with a purpose. •Trust your instincts. If something does not feel safe, it probably isn’t. •When going to social gatherings, go with friends. Arrive together, watch out for each other and leave together. •Do not leave drinks unattended. •Do not accept drinks from people you don’t know. •If you suspect you or a friend has been drugged, contact law enforcement immediately. •If you see someone in danger of being assaulted, step in and offer assistance. If the situation is dangerous, call 911 immediately. •Offer to call a cab, SNAP or find a ride home for people who are intoxicated. There are several outlets offering help for victims of sexual assault. Professional assistance is available through the National Sexual Assault Hotline (1-866-HOPE) as well as the National Sexual Assault Online Hotline. If you are assaulted at Georgia College, go to the Women’s Center located on 530 W. Greene Street or call them at 478-445-8156. Do not be afraid to tell your story and get the help you deserve.
Cleavage is not consent most is each other. Other students feel passionately about bringing knowledge to an issue that is so often taboo. “I think raising awareness helps people know what types of situations to avoid and also helps people know when to intervene if they see a situation they find questionable,” said Lauren Rosnow, a junior nursing major. “The more people know about sexual assault the more we

GC Softball is 35-7, and they’re looking to pick up two more wins against Lander MORGAN COLLETT @MOEC444 Georgia College’s softball team is well on its way to a season that won’t be quickly forgotten. The Lady Bobcats have only lost one game in the past 15 showings and are now 35-5 on the season. They are currently ranked No. 6 in Division II and No. 2 in the Peach Belt Conference. In the beginning of the season, the Lady Bobcats beat No. 1 ranked Valdosta and have continued to improve, posting an impressive 13-game win streak in the middle of the season. What does it take to reach this level of success and to keep the momentum going? The players and coaches both agree it takes hard work and selflessness. The Lady Bobcats put in countless hours of practice and
spend most of their weekends traveling to tournaments. These ladies sacrifice the free time other college students experience to keep playing the game they love. “We’re not selfish about it,” said junior catcher Lacey Najafi. “I think this year we realized that everyone has a different role, even if that role is something you don’t really want to do you still take it on.” As with all great teams there must be a certain level of chemistry and mutual respect. And Georgia College seems to have found the right balance. “Everyone is a hard worker,” said senior utility player, Frankie Walls. “It’s different to say you work hard but to actually have everyone on the team work hard and give 100 percent every time that’s never happened before and that’s really awesome I think.” Two seniors, Walls and senior outfielder Kristen
Humphries, lead the team. It isn’t a job they take lightly. “Every year we really stress that the seniors take that lead and take that roll, and I always tell them this year is going to be as good as you make it for yourself and the team,” said Head Coach Jamie Grodecki. “You know I think they’ve gone above and beyond their call of duty there.” As the Lady Bobcats continue to take down teams, the target on their back becomes larger and larger. However, with each win comes more confidence to continue their dominance. “I think at the beginning we did struggle with confidence because we didn’t realize how good we were and the potential we had, but now as we’re going along I think we’re pretty confident in ourselves,” said Najafi. “Even if we do mess up in an inning we know we can come back and take the inning.”
The team also credits part of their success to the outstanding fan support of their family and friends. They hope to see even more fans come out as they come closer to the conference tournament. “I would love for more people to get out there and witness it and give the girls the support they need,” Grodecki said. “They work hard and deserve it.” Despite their stellar season, the Lady Bobcats still have a tough schedule remaining. GC still has a doubleheader matchup against four conference opponents: Lander, USC Aiken, Young Harris and Armstrong. GC will play Lander tomorrow at 2 and 4 p.m. But the Lady Bobcats aren’t worried. “When we play games this year we expect to win,” Walls said. “We know we’re going to win whether the other team is good or not.”

Fouled Out Derek Roberts
Kimbrel trade is good for Atlanta’s future Former Atlanta Braves closer Craig Kimbrel is now a San Diego Padre, but it’s not the end of the world. Despite Kimbrel’s departure, the sun still rises and the sun still sets. The Braves still have a team (kind of), and baseball is still being played. Granted, Kimbrel is the best closer in baseball, and there aren’t many pitchers that come close to bringing the same intensity to the mound that he does, but what’s done is done,
THE COLONNADE and there’s nothing we can do about it. Whiny, nagging Facebook posts from uneducated Braves fans who think they know everything certainly aren’t going to bring him back. Sure, he was a fan favorite, and there’s no doubt that he’ll be missed. I’ll admit, it’s a weird feeling not having Kimbrel sprinting from the bullpen to the sounds of Guns N’ Roses’ “Welcome to the Jungle.” It’s even weirder seeing newly appointed closer Jason Grilli take the mound in the ninth inning, but this had to happen for the Braves to truly “rebuild.” Although the Kimbrel trade was highly unpopular among my friends, family and coworkers, and seemingly the majority of Braves fans, it was by far the right move, and I’ll tell you why. The only way the Braves could get rid of B.J. Upton, excuse me, Melvin Upton Jr., was to include him in a package with an elite player – Kimbrel. Atlanta was scheduled to pay Upton Jr. a ridiculous $46.3 million over the course of this season and the next two seasons. And let’s be honest, Upton Jr.’s performance as a Brave has
been absolutely horrendous, and that’s me being nice. In addition to the $46.3 million the trade opened up for the Braves, the club also avoided having to pay Kimbrel the remainder of his contract. In exchange for Upton Jr. and Kimbrel, the Braves received the 41st pick in the 2015 FirstYear Player Draft, veteran outfielders Cameron Maybin and Carlos Quentin, and highly touted prospects in outfielder Jordan Paroubeck and pitcher Matt Wisler. Even though the Braves have to eat the $27 million owed to Maybin and Quentin, who was quickly designated for assignment, it gives the team a surplus of financial flexibility. Maybin, who was once recognized as one of the game’s best, young players, appears to be a short-term fix, but nonetheless, I’d much rather have him or Eric Young Jr. patrolling center field than Upton Jr., and most Braves fans will agree with me here. This financial flexibility will allow Atlanta to finally compete with baseball’s powerhouses like the Cardinals, Dodgers, Red Sox, Tigers and Yankees over the
11 course of the next few seasons. The Braves are notorious for bad blockbuster moves (the Texiera deal, the Derek Lowe signing, the Upton signings, etc.), but at least the team will have the funds to be competitive. Atlanta’s front office made it clear during the offseason that the club was entering a “rebuilding mode,” and they plan on being a contender in 2017 when the new SunTrust Stadium opens in Gwinnett. So if the team doesn’t plan on winning in the immediate future, why keep the best relief pitcher in the game? It’s not fair to have talent like Kimbrel’s being wasted. The Braves probably won’t have near as many save opportunities as seasons past, so essentially, they would be paying Kimbrel too much money to sit on the bench. You could say the same about Freddie Freeman and Andrelton Simmons, but that’s not the case. They are both signed to longterm contracts, and the Braves have said those are the players they plan to build around. But, Kimbrel throws hard, and relief pitchers with his style of pitching are notorious
for elbow injuries. In the Braves eyes, they needed to get what they could for Kimbrel while they could, and make sure Upton Jr. was included in the trade. While I’m sad to see Kimbrel go (and ecstatic to see Upton Jr. go), the benefits of the trade far outweigh having a lightsout closer. The Braves have stockpiled top prospects and draft picks, and I have bought into their plans of rebuilding. The future appears bright for the club as they attempt to convert from a power team to a contact/ speed team. I’ll still watch as many games as I can this season and next, but I’m definitely looking forward to 2017. Call me crazy, but rebuilding is a necessary aspect of baseball. You can’t expect to have a playoff team year in and year out, unless you’re the Yankees. So in the meantime, either continue being a loyal fan, or take two years off and start again in 2017. It doesn’t matter to me, but for the love of God, quit yapping about the Kimbrel trade. Instead, appreciate that Grilli has recorded two saves in two opportunites.
Cameron Busby records complete game win Backed by solid pitching, surging offense, GC takes two out of three from Franis Marion stePHen bolAnd @stePHenbolAnd20 The Bobcats kept rolling this past weekend with a series win against Francis Marion taking two of the three games. The team got off to a slow start on Friday, losing 11-5 and snapping a five-game winning streak in the Peach Belt Conference. Junior infielder Dylan Cook lead the team by going 3-for5 with an RBI, but with 14 strikeouts overall, the Bobcats’ bats were otherwise silent. What doomed the team was a six-run sixth inning by the Patriots, at the expense of sophomore relief pitcher Brady Walsh, who took the loss for the Bobcats. Saturday was a different
story, as the Bobcats swept a the doubleheader matchup. The Bobcats showed improvement at the plate during game two, winning 8-5. Redshirt junior outfielder Jake Sandlin and freshman outfielder Logan Mattix lead the team with a combined three hits and five RBIs. On the contrary, GC’s pitching staff gave up five runs. The Bobcats found themselves down by a run going into the bottom of the seventh inning, but were able to put up four runs, giving them a three-run lead that help up for the win. Game three of the series showed that the team can win with more than their bats, even though they won 6-1. Freshman starting pitcher Cameron Busby
shut the Patriots down, pitching a complete game, while only allowing one run and striking out 11. This was Busby’s first complete game of the season and his second win of the year. The bats stayed hot as the Bobcats posted six runs to support Busby’s great outing. Sophomore infielder Brandon Benson led all GC batters, going 3-for-4 with one RBI and two runs scored. The Bobcats are now eighth in the PBC standings with a 20-14 overall record and a 9-9 conference record. The Bobcats will play conference opponent Lander University this weekend.

Softball drops double header to No. 6 UNG Night Hawks Andrew Podo @gcsUnAde Georgia College’s softball team fell to the No. 8 North Georgia Nighthawks Tuesday, losing both games of their doubleheader 3-1 and 2-1, respectively. The Bobcats took the field in pink uniforms and honored cancer survivors before the game as part of the National Fastpitch Coaches Association’s StrikeOut Cancer Day. The Nighthawks took an early lead, scoring two runs in the first inning. The Bobcats responded in the third inning with their only run of the game: a single from junior utility player Abi LeRoy that sent freshman utility player Holland Coursey across the plate. While the Bobcats managed only four hits and one run in the first game, they had a solid effort on the mound as junior pitcher Marisa Boyette allowed three runs on seven hits. “We knew they were going to be a good team, but personally I didn’t do anything different,” Boyette said. “I just stuck to the plan I had and did what I could do.” The second game developed much like the first, with the Nighthawks scoring two in the fifth inning to take the lead. The Bobcats almost rallied in the bottom of the seventh, when senior utility player Frankie Walls blasted a shot to deep left field for a solo home run. The Bobcats managed to get two more runners on base, but failed to score again in the 2-1 loss.
nick lAndon A @reAlnicklAndon A Andon The Atlanta Braves are off to a hot start despite their supposed lineup woes. Starting their season with a road trip to Miami to play the Marlins, the Braves looked to be in trouble. Lots of analysts expected Miami to be one of the teams to beat in the National League, and the Braves to be at the bottom of the barrel- but here we are. The Braves swept the Marlins with a convincing performance. However, lets not get our hopes up. it’s still too early to tell if Atlanta will be a contender. It’s fun to dream about a miracle year, though. Hawks ballers Pero Antic and Thabo Sefolosha were arrested in New York Tuesday night, and Chris Copeland was stabbed outside of the 1 Oak nightclub in New York City. Copeland reportedly declined a promotional deal outside of the club, and was promptly stabbed. Antic and Sefolosha were arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. According to authorities, it took four officers to get Sefolosha in handcuffs, which is actually my favorite part of this story. The Hawks players were reportedly just trying to shield Copeland from people who were crowding and trying to take photos of him, and were released Wednesday upon recognition.

Head Coach Jamie Grodecki was disappointed with the losses. “We’ve been looking forward to this game,” she said. “I think maybe a little too much. I’m not sure if we were a little too amped today and just didn’t get it done. We just didn’t pull it together offensively”
Sophomore Pitcher Carly Lewis, who allowed six hits in the second game, said the team needed to work on scoring earlier in games and executing the game plan. The Bobcats play again tomorrow with a home conference doubleheader against Lander University.
Former NFL lineman, Kwame Harris was involved in two hit-and-runs this week, and later turned up asleep in a running car. The police have reported that Harris was intoxicated and tried to bite a couple of cops when they confronted him. I can’t say I would have the gumption to try to arrest the six-and-a-half foot tall behemoth, especially after seeing him try to bite the first cop. Harris has had a handful of other run-ins with the law since being released from the Oakland Raiders in 2008, but this is by far the most interesting. The NFL retiree’s lawyer has stated that he will be hiring a new lawyer, who will then help Harris decide if he will comment on the arrest.
