Observer Faculty couples share love stories Celia Wan Staff Reporter Meckeses: “I guess we are just lucky” When asked for relationship advice, Professors Mark and Elizabeth Meckes from the Mathematics Department laughed because they were not sure how to reply. Being each other’s first relationship, Mark and Elizabeth first met when she was still in high school and continued their love story from the east coast

to the west coast, and now here at Case Western Reserve University.

“I don’t know if we have authority to give relationship tips,” said Elizabeth. “I guess we are just lucky. We met each other first.”

Mark and Elizabeth first met in her high school marching band camp in 1996. Mark, a CWRU second-year student at that time, went to Elizabeth’s high school to help organize the camp during his summer vacation, and thus got to know her. Over the next school year, they kept in touch via email.

When Elizabeth graduated from high school,

she decided to come to CWRU to join Mark, who was getting his PhD in math.

Married in 2001 after Elizabeth graduated from CWRU, they continued their studies at Stanford University, where Elizabeth worked toward her PhD and Mark taught as a lecturer. The first year at Stanford was a stressful time for Elizabeth, as she was studying for the qualifying exams for mathematics PhD students.

Experts weigh in on Cleveland’s Zika virus risk Srivatsan Uchan Staff Reporter

This past week, a woman who recently returned from a trip to Haiti became Ohio’s first victim of the Zika virus, and soon thereafter a man coming back from Haiti to Stark County, Ohio, became its second.

Taking the public spotlight just a year after to COUPLES I 4 the Ebola crisis, the Zika virus is now causing considerable concern around the world. The virus is associated with rashes, soreness, joint pain and fever, and pregnant women with the virus have given birth to a higher number of babies with underdeveloped brains.

However, the impact that the virus is likely to have in Cleveland may be less than some residents fear, said Ronald Blanton, professor of International Health and Epidemiology & Biostatistics at the Case Biomedical Research Building, and Daniel Tisch, associate professor of epidemiology & biostatistics.

Next years seniors will be paying $4,172 more Blanton and Tisch are two researchers who next year than they did in their freshman year. study viruses here on campus.

The Zika virus was first discovered in 2016-2017 It’s a 10 percent (and named for) the Zika forest in Uganda $45,582 during the 1940s, and was initially thought increase over the to only infect monkeys.

Provost announces tuition increases, talks CWRU’s investments Ashley Chan Staff Reporter Students and faculty gathered in Strosacker Auditorium with Provost W. A. “Bud” Baeslack for Pizza with the Provost on Friday, Feb. 4, to hear about updates to Case Western Reserve University’s initiatives and discuss tuition and room and board rates for the 2016-2017 academic year.

Baeslack opened the discussion with an overview of CWRU’s strategic plan for innovative education. The plan works to advance quality of education for the undergraduate experience, striving to find new ways to teach and support students in STEM and health sciences. Additions and enhancements will be made for master’s degree and graduate programs.

Baseline inflation projects tuition cost to increase approximately two to three percent each year according to Baeslack.

Much of the tuition cost funds standard baseline expenses to sustain the current level of activity at CWRU, including salaries and benefits for employees. Additional costs arise with the creation of new programs. Although gifts and donations build much infrastructure, such as the Tinkham Veale University Center and the recently upgraded think[box], operating costs to maintain the facilities come out of tuition.

New investments in areas such as academic programs, IT support, the Title IX office, Kelvin Smith Library and student retention are being made to provide a better undergraduate experience.

Social Justice Institute interviews East Clevelanders

Aquene Kimmel News Editor In its early stages, the project that the Social Justice Institute (SJI) recently released on YouTube and began teaching as a curriculum at Shaw High School was simply known as the “Debut Collaborative Project.” All its organizers knew was that they wanted their first project to involve curriculum and research and that community had to be central.

Gradually, it took shape. It became a collaboration with residents of an unspecified community to talk about their visions for that community’s future. That then turned into collecting “oral life narratives” from residents of the nearby East Cleveland. The project then gained its name: the Voicing & Action Project.

According to Social Justice Institute Founder and Director Rhonda Williams, East Cleveland was chosen because it allows those working on the project to consider questions that relate to the university, economic and racial inequality, how neighborhoods are stereotyped and how to challenge those stereotypes.

East Cleveland’s infamous economic decline began in the 1960s, according to the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History—a timeline also reinforced by many residents in their interviews for the Voicing & Action Project. Currently the 3.9 square-mile city has an average per-capita income of $13,902, which is about half of Ohio’s average. Its homeownership rate and the value of the average owner-occupied house are also about half of Ohio’s average.

“If your community is disparaged, who wants to live there?” asked Williams. “If your community is disparaged who wants to invest? If your community is disparaged how do people look at you when you go somewhere and say ‘I’m from East Cleveland’? So [East Cleveland’s image] has both personal and community ramifications, and [the residents] understood that dynamic and how important it is to be able to tell your own story and give people a complex idea of what’s happening.”

This project, which took the form of over 80 interviews and five community dialogues, was funded by various departments within Case Western Reserve University and completed in collaboration with the East Cleveland Public Library and the Northeast Ohio Alliance for Hope (NOAH).

The SJI began recruiting interviewers who either lived in East Cleveland or had a strong connection to it through community partners and word-of-mouth in early 2012, and they ended up with 14 interviewers. They then did about six months of training which covered interview skills, the ethics of studying human subjects and how to use video equipment.

Interviewers also received a “nominal” stipend, according to Williams.

“If I had real deep pockets I would pay them much more,” she said.

For another one-and-a-half years after that training period, interviewers remained involved in the program. They met in a group every two weeks in the beginning and then once a month after they had gained more experience. They also conducted the interviews, which lasted anywhere from one to three hours, plus setup and takedown.

Brandon King, an interviewer and East Cleveland resident, learned about this project through NOAH, where he volunteers, before it was even off the ground. He joined its steer-

King conducted over 20 interviews, and even though he has lived in East Cleveland his whole life, he said that he learned a lot of new details about the city’s history. In particular, it stood out to him that it used to be a “walking community,” where residents felt comfortable walking to work, school or wherever they needed to go. ”That’s what drew me to the project— capturing the richness and the history of the transformation of East Cleveland and its residents,” said King.

By the end of the interviewing portion of the project, there were about 85 interviews with East Cleveland community members and 10 with interviewers who continued to participate regularly in the project. Interviewees covered a wide range of people, including a local firefighter, the band director from Shaw High School and current and past local politicians. Most of the interviewees were older residents who had lived for a long time in East Cleveland.

Jacqueline Gillon, who was a city councilwoman in East Cleveland from 1987 until 1993 and remains active in the local community, was one of the interviewees.

When she was young, her parents lived in East Cleveland and worked for Fisher Body Ohio Company, a branch of General Motors which had two plants that together employed up to 7,000 workers from around the Cleveland area. As Cleveland as a whole de-industrialized, one plant closed in 1983 and the other in 1993.

In her interview, she spoke of one particular memory from her youth, of taking the bus home to East Cleveland with a basket full of freshly picked vegetables.

“It was fine,” Gillon said. “I didn’t feel afraid, threatened, none of that. Because there was a sense of safety and community.”

The interviews covered a variety of subjects, including people’s personal history and how they ended up in East Cleveland, the impact of injustice (especially racism) in their personal lives and on the city and what their visions were for the city’s future.

In those visions, East Clevelanders tended to agree that they wanted a more vibrant

community with few vacant houses and more green infrastructure and gardens.

They also voiced unhappiness with the impact that some systems—government and business—have on their city.

Solomon Mathes, a music education major at Baldwin Wallace University who lived in East Cleveland up until he left for college, was also interviewed for this project. He said in his interview that when he was young, he was required to be back to his house or close nearby by 8 p.m. because the area was too dangerous to stay out later.

“There’s actually been a couple of drug raids on my street, and there was a lot of drug deals and whatnot on the corner of my street, too, and there was always a lot of shooting behind my house,” said Mathes.

In the future, he wants to come back to East Cleveland and run a business or organization involving music, where he will employ other East Clevelanders.

The interview style for the Voicing & Action Project was open-ended, with plenty of follow-up questions, so each interview went a little differently.

“They told stories about the history of race relations in East Cleveland and Cleveland, change over time, the demographic change over time, white flight, the struggles of getting access to housing as African Americans in a once majority white suburb,” said Williams. “There’s all kinds of information in these interviews.”

The SJI also held five community dialogues, with a total attendance of about 150 people, with NOAH. There they presented some clips from the interviews as a way of starting a discussion on community issues.

For Misty Luminais, research associate and project coordinator for the SJI, one of the most memorable moments of this project took place at one of the community dialogues.

“People really grasped onto the idea of changing the narrative,” said Luminais.

“And it was something that a lot of people had felt and people had kind of articulated in the interviews, but to see everybody in the room come together around the idea of owning their own narrative … that was a really

powerful moment for me to see the community come together around that and really embrace that idea.”

Beyond documenting East Clevelanders’ experiences, this project also aims to create an analysis and dialogue about systems of oppression and to work towards finding solutions.

“It’s about looking at root causes, and it’s also about moving towards action,” said Williams.

One of those actions was creating a YouTube channel with all of the interviews.

Another is working with the East Cleveland Public Library to make an Omeka platform, as a more interactive platform where others can view the videos and add their own content. A third action is the creation of a curriculum for students at Shaw High School.

The curriculum will be taught by Luminais, Williams and others , and will incorporate the results of the Voicing & Action project in several ways. It will be a ten-week program within an 11th grade African American history course, and will focus on local history and social justice, ending with each student creating an action plan for something they can do to improve their lives and communities. ”Because this project is grounded in the lived experiences of people in East Cleveland, we wanted to bring something to the students so that they could understand their own lives in a social justice perspective,” said Luminais. “So while there are several curriculums out there that are social justice curriculums, this is something specific to East Cleveland and East Cleveland students.”

From this project, along with the the many other organizations currently working in East Cleveland, its organizers hope that positive change will result. However Williams was hesitant to speak too optimistically; for her, the future very much remains to be seen.

“Whatever happens in the community, I hope it has equity and justice in the core, and I hope people in the community actually have a say in what that is and that they are able to benefit from it,” said Williams.

Campus insider

Snyder and Stark discuss future of campus housing at RHA meeting Julia Bianco Director of Web & Multimedia University President Barbara R. Snyder and Vice President of Student Affairs Lou Stark recently spoke at a meeting of the Residence Hall Association (RHA), discussing the future of campus housing.

On-campus housing as a priority Snyder repeatedly espoused the benefits of on-campus housing, stating that CWRU’s 80 percent residentiality is something she views as a huge positive for the university.

“One thing that I think is powerful about persuading students to live on campus is talking to other students who do live on campus and hearing what the experience is like,” said Snyder. “I think one of the reasons we are so successful at getting students to live on campus is because students who live on campus are walking advertisements for it.”

Snyder brought up studies which show that students who live on campus are more likely to have better grades and graduate on time than students living off campus, with students living on campus for at least two years 25 percent more likely to get a degree than those who haven’t.

“There are also lots of other benefits, like getting to know your fellow students and making lasting friendships,” she added.

Residence hall renovations While neither Snyder or Stark foresee the university building another residence hall in the next few years, they do plan on renovating the current buildings, especially the aging first-year residence halls.

“One of the ways that our experts in student life think about housing is the way that our housing choices move along with you as you develop over the four years you are here,” said Snyder, referencing the transitional living model that starts freshmen in single or double bedrooms that are similar to their bedrooms at home moving upwards to seniors living in apartment-like suites.

“We look at how it plays into what you think of as development and maturity,” said Snyder.

Some students brought up the idea of relational pricing, making the first-year residence halls cheaper than the more elaborate upperclassmen buildings. However, Snyder said that the additional staff services available to freshmen make it difficult to lower prices.

“Staff resources during the first year in particular are much more intensive,” said Snyder. “Our evidence would suggest having that level of staffing in the first-year residence halls is actually pretty important.”

The future of Greek housing One idea brought up was creating a Greek “village,” although Snyder mentioned that, while that would help foster the Greek com-

munity, it could end up being a place where non-Greek students wouldn’t feel welcome.

Another proposal is to have special Greek-only spaces within residence halls, allowing Greeks to be integrated into residence life while still creating Greek-specific community areas.

“From a community standpoint, that is most successful, deliberately integrating Greeks into the rest of the community,” said Stark.

Provost’s commission on the Undergraduate Experience Snyder and Stark advertised for Provost Bud Baeslack’s new commission, which will take two years to look broadly at the undergraduate experience, examining everything from student life to residence halls to SAGES. “It will also look at how things that we do in student affairs, student life and residence life activities bolster your academic growth and also the way our facilities can be made to help support academic and student life experiences that we think are important,” said Snyder.

Chaired by Professor Kim Evans from the English department, the commission will feature faculty from each of CWRU’s schools, as well as senior members from the Offices of Enrollment Management, International Affairs, Student Affairs and Undergraduate Studies and a student member.

Student awards become inclusive of more organizations Aquene Kimmel News Editor Following student feedback on the requirements for two of the Dr. Dorothy Pijan Student Leadership Awards, the Student Leadership Awards Committee has voted to broaden the range of students who are eligible to win them.

Before this vote, the “Outstanding Club/Organization Member” and “Outstanding Club/Organization Officer” awards were open only to students in

from VIRUS | 1 Although the infection is spreading rapidly, the vast majority of infected individuals have no symptoms and aren’t as likely to seek treatment, meaning that there is a heightened risk of spreading Zika to pregnant mothers.

“The main symptom [of Zika] is actually nothing,” said Tisch. “Only 10 to 20 percent of people actually display observable disease symptoms.”

According to both researchers, such a lack of outward manifestations of illness is actually quite common among f laviviruses, the genus of viruses to which Zika belongs and which includes more familiar names such as West Nile virus and dengue.

Zika virus is transmitted primarily through mosquito bites and perhaps through sexual activity among infected humans, although it is likely that other bodily f luids—such as blood and saliva—can also serve as media for the transmission of the virus.

One particularly striking aspect of Zika is how rapidly our understanding of it has changed. Only broad generalizations can be made about it, from the structure and characteristics of the

organizations under the Undergraduate Student Government or the Undergraduate Diversity Collaborative. That excluded students in the University Program Board, the Class Officer Collective, organizations under the University Media Board and others.

On Thursday, Jan. 28, the committee decided to remove the descriptors from these two awards, so now they are open to members of any university recognized student groups.

“It has always been our goal to create an awards ceremony that celebrates the

richness and diversity of student club and organization life on campus and we hope that this change will allow us to recognize more students while keeping the spirit of the awards,” said Kelly Levine, a graduate assistant in the Office of Student Activities and Leadership.

As in past years, the committee will also be allowed to select multiple honorees for awards, if they feel that more than one nominee deserve the award.

Nominations for the awards are open until Feb. 21 and can be made through OrgSync.

virus. Otherwise, scientists only know the basic symptoms it causes.

“We know that Zika, like most f laviviruses, is a self-limited disease,” shared Blanton. “At some point, it will probably burn itself out, especially as the number of people who have been infected grows.”

Furthermore, Blanton feels that viruses in the same family, such as dengue, provide some crucial insights.

“We know that [Zika] gives you sterile immunity,” Blanton said. “Once you have it, it’s gone.”

Scientists also know its genetic structure, which is essential in efforts to develop a cure. There is currently no cure and no vaccine for the virus, but Blanton urges anyone who has contracted it to go to a doctor immediately—both for immediate public health concerns and because the symptoms could actually be the result of some other illness.

At present the main factors in guarding against Zika virus are no different than for any other virus transmitted by mosquitos.

“The risk is much higher in Latin America and the Caribbean,” said Tisch. “People without screens, air conditioning [and] well-built houses... are

more prone to contracting the virus.

Basically development seems to be a good defense.”

That leads to the question on many local residents’ minds: does Cleveland have anything to worry about?

“I say ‘no,’ with an asterisk,” responded Dr. Blanton.

For now, winter makes local spreading of the virus by mosquitoes unlikely, and the most common insect vector, the mosquito Aedes aegypti, does not live in this area. However during the summer Cleveland does have a less common vector, Aedes albopictus, also known as the Asian Tiger Mosquito, and travellers between Cleveland and other locations could transmit the virus.

The bottom line?

“I don’t think there’s too much reason to worry right now, although we might have to be a bit more careful in the summertime,” said Tisch.

As understanding of this virus rapidly advances, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have released sets of guidelines to prevent the spread of this disease both through sexual activity and through mosquito bites in warmer climates. These can be found on the CDC website.

Cleveland catch-up Kushagra Gupta Opinion Editor Key Bank robbed A Key Bank branch on on Buckeye Road was robbed on Feb. 10 at around 1 p.m. The robber made a grim threat to the bank teller, saying, “think of your family.”

The Cleveland Division of the FBI has become involved. Based on his actions, they suspect that he had a gun.

The teller was unable to tell if there was one.

The robber has not been identified as of press time.

Carjacking at Shell Gas Station An unidentified person has been accused of stealing a vehicle from the the Shell Gas Station at East 30th and Carnegie while the three-year-old niece of a customer was inside.

Frederick Grair III was paying inside, with his car left running outside, when the carjacking occurred. He has been accused of child endangerment and driving under suspension as of Wednesday morning, Feb. 10.

Grair’s niece was found safe a few miles away soon after and the car was found Tuesday afternoon. However the suspect remains at large.

RTA delays ticket price hike Last Tuesday, Feb. 9, the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority declined to raise the one-way fare rate from $2.25 to $2.50. The price for those with accessibility requests was to be raised from $2.25 to $3.25.

The discussion was tabled by the RTA’s finance committee until March 1.

CEO Joe Calabrese stated the delay was due to concern over the impact it would have on commuters.

Clevelanders for Public Transit, a group that promotes better transportation for Cleveland, saw the decision as a victory, according to Cleveland Scene.

Calabrese is expected to appear before the House Committee to ask the state of Ohio to provide more funding for transportation.

Cleveland asks Tamir Rice’s estate for $500 The city of Cleveland has filed a creditor’s notice to Tamir Rice’s estate for emergency medical services. The Ohio Revised Code allows for the filing, as the medical services were considered the “last dying expense of the [person who has died].”

The payment is considered past due according to the filing.

One of the attorneys for the estate, Subodh Chandra, told Cleveland Scene that the filing was “poor judgement” and a “new pinnacle of callousness and insensitivity.”

Changes coming to class times for fall 2016

Julia Bianco Director of Web & Multimedia Changes will be coming to course scheduling times starting the Fall 2016 semester, with additional 75-minute time slots, longer travel times between classes and a new slot for once-a-week classes.

“One of the problems that we have faced in the allocation of classrooms is that we found that more classes were moving into the 75 minute time slots,” said Jeffrey Wolcowitz, dean of Undergraduate Studies. “This was creating some problems with having enough classrooms.”

This led to an initial reevalution with the goal of adding more 75-minute time slots.

Ultimately, the action moved to a full reevaluation of the grid, with major changes including moving the start of the day on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:30 to 8 a.m., having at least 15 minutes as opposed to 10 minutes in between all classes and adding in 7 to 9:30 p.m. time slots Monday through Friday for once a week classes.

Previously there were no existing two and

a half hour time slots in the class scheduling grid, so this slot was added in to standardize them. However professors can still schedule once a week classes outside of the grid.

“We don’t rule out other possibilities, but we would hope a department that wishes to use longer time frames earlier in the day would pair that with other courses so we could use space well,” said Wolcowitz.

“They should also keep in mind student schedules. Once you put a longer class into other hours you are blocking students from twice as many other choices.”

There will also be a new schedule for final exams, with four time slots per day, including a new evening slot. However no student is required to take more than two exams on one day, as before. In addition, no student will have to take a final in the evening time slot on one day and then the earliest morning time slot on the next day.

“We wanted to be able to use our stock of classrooms efficiently and not have things crowded into a small number of times,” said Wolcowitz. “It’s also important for students because the more you spread out classes, the more choices you have.”

Spotlight on research

Researcher studies benefits of “kangaroo care” in newborns Sruthi Meka Staff Reporter For Susan Ludington, the Carl W. and Margaret Davis Walter Professor of Pediatric Nursing, the bond between mother and infant is something spectacular to witness.

Kangaroo care, the primary subject of Ludington’s research, is a method of care that can help facilitate the bond between mother and child and also introduce a variety of physiological and developmental benefits to newborn babies. This care refers to the prolonged skin-to-skin contact between parent and baby, especially during the first few weeks following the baby’s birth.

Ludington, who has studied this method of care for almost two decades, is currently conducting a study to analyze newborns who are delivered and then immediately placed skin-to-skin, chest-to-chest with their mothers.

“At delivery, when you put a baby immediately on his mother’s chest, cord still attached … I noticed that while we’re waiting for the cord to be clamped, they’re very quiet, they’re very alert, they’re not moving about, they’re looking about with their eyes, and they don’t move their arms, they’re not screaming … none of the things that you see when the baby is put under a warmer,” Ludington said.

Newborns who are placed in kangaroo care directly after birth also tend to exhibit stable heart rates and respiratory rates. However the Apgar score, which is a scale commonly implemented to measure a newborn’s complexion, pulse rate, reflex, activity and respiration at one and five minutes following birth, is not entirely receptive to the use of kangaroo care.

Newborns placed in kangaroo care tend to warm up slowly since it takes time for blood circulation to reach their extremities. Decreased peripheral circulation may mean that the babies appear less pink, which can affect the complexion criteria for the Apgar score and result in a lower score, despite the relative health of the babies.

“Both physicians and nurses … use their general interpretation of the baby’s

overall condition rather than scoring exactly,” Ludington said. “So I would really want to provide the world with an accurate Apgar score for babies in kangaroo care within one minute of birth.”

Ludington is currently in the process of compiling videos of newborns’ behavior at one, five, and 10 minutes after birth to record healthy behaviors and eventually rewrite the criteria for the Apgar score.

Another component of Ludington’s newborn behavior study involves the development of a tool to minimize one of the risks associated with kangaroo care.

According to Ludington, during the first two hours after birth, babies who are breastfeeding or in kangaroo care receive a surge of oxytocin from the physical contact with their mothers. Oxytocin will then cause the babies to fall asleep.

“Looking at the literature, there are very few reports of any negative effects [of kangaroo care],” Ludington said. “Most people, including most professionals, don’t realize the overwhelming benefits.”

Beyond maternal bonding, kangaroo care also provides newborns with better self-regulatory control, motor and mental development, and emotional attachment to their parents, says Ludington. Through kangaroo care, newborns also experience sleep benefits, pain reduction, and an introduction to good microbes from their mothers.

“The oxytocin released from the skin-toskin contact goes to the pain receptors in your brain and it turns off pain reception,” Ludington said. “It’s wonderful because you can give a baby a shot and they don’t cry at all. They’re with their mothers and they’re so relaxed, it’s really beautiful to see.”

Ludington would like to further explore the pain reduction aspects of kangaroo care in the future by working with babies with congenital heart defects and babies undergoing chemotherapy and radiation.

“I think the science is developed and established well enough that it’s time for us to say no more swaddled-holding of a newborn,” Ludington said. “If you can hold the baby swaddled, he should be skin-to-skin, chest-to-chest.”

The exams were notoriously difficult, and she had to study to the point of exhaustion every day. Once while she was preparing for the exams, she mentioned to Mark that she wanted to go somewhere to get away, but she did not have time or energy to plan it. Without letting her know, Mark planned a trip for her to the Grand Canyon National Park, where Elizabeth and her family always went while she was growing up.

“He didn’t tell me where we are going, or when,” said Elizabeth. “Just one day after the exams were over, he said, ‘pack your bag, we can go.’”

The couple then carried their relationship to Cornell University, where they spent one year teaching before deciding to settle down in Cleveland. This relationship saga, far from ending, has brought them two children and many collaborative achievements in math so far.

Referred to as “the Meckeses” in the math department, Mark and Elizabeth have worked on five research papers together and published a book on linear algebra. Both Mark and Elizabeth feel that their relationship has been beneficial in helping them make progress in research. Almost always together, the math couple can share their thoughts

“Most things that I have ever done, I did better because I talked out how to do it with her first.”

-Mark Meckes at any random time, whether walking down the halls of Yost Hall or on their way from their children’s preschool to CWRU. They also feel more comfortable having each other as their research collaborators. Elizabeth felt that she was more at ease working with Mark, who she is not embarrassed to “sound stupid in front of.” When working together, they are comfortable sharing their ideas without worrying about being judged.

They can think freely in front of each other and try different ideas, even though many may not end up working.

Mark and Elizabeth have lunch together every day, and they have offices on the same f loor of Yost. Whenever they have something they want to share, whether it is funny or annoying, they know that their “Valentine” is just around the corner.

“I can just knock on his door and say, ‘hi, guess what just happened,’” said Elizabeth.

Both of them feel that they are better because of their relationship.

“Most things that I have ever done, I did better because I talked out how to do it with her first,” said Mark.

Cavusoglus: “Our plan is to grow old together” Talking to electrical engineering and computer science Professors Evren and Cenk Cavusoglu makes you feel love.

Between them there is often joyful laughter and eye contact filled with love, making Glennan 517C one of the most romantic places on CWRU’s campus.

At a Detroit robotic conference in 1999, Evren and Cenk were introduced to each other by Evren’s PhD advisor.

At that time, Evren was studying at Middle East Technical University in Turkey, while Cenk was a PhD student at University of California, Berkeley.

However they later found out that it was not the first time they met.

Evren and Cenk were distantly related, and their families in Turkey were close to each other. When Evren was ten years old, one of Evren’s cousins and one of Cenk’s cousins were engaged.

Little Evren and little Cenk were therefore brought to the same engagement party, and even took a picture together.

Talking to Professors Evren and Cenk Cavusoglu makes you feel love. Between them there is often joyful laughter and eye contact filled with love, making Glennan 517C one of the most romantic places on CWRU’s campus.

Having no idea of their childhood encounter, both of them then attended the same undergraduate school with the same major, electronic engineering.

Evren and Cenk still did not know of each other’s existence, until the 1999 Detroit meeting finally brought this meant-to-be couple together.

Before Evren and Cenk started working at CWRU, they had a long-distance relationship while Evren was in Turkey and Cenk in the U.S. Separated by the Pacific Ocean, both of them took effort to maintain this relationship by calling each other every day and preparing each other little surprises.

“The phone company loved us,” Evren joked.

She also remembers that once she mentioned a book she liked, and a few weeks later the exact book sent by Cenk was sitting in her mailbox.

Their long-distance relationship lasted for three years and ended when Evren joined Cenk at CWRU, who had just started to work here at that time. It has been 13 years since they got married, and the couple still enjoy their time together at CWRU. When the weather is nice, they sometimes walk to Uptown for lunch or for Mitchell’s ice-cream, where Cenk always chooses Vanilla and Evren gets lemon raspberry. They also discovered their favorite lunch spot on the quad: the benches in front of Glennan. Even though their schedules don’t always match, or their work gets busy sometimes, they manage to make time every day to catch up.

Although they wish that they could spend more time together, Evren and Cenk leave some space for each other at work.

Whenever they have something they want to share, whether it is funny or annoying, they know that their “Valentine” is just around the corner.

“We actually try not to [collaborate at work],” said Evren. “He tries to give me my space. I am more junior in academia than him, so he is giving me my space so that I can be independent and set my own career. But he mentors me a lot. We also teach each other’s’ courses in case that he has to go to a conference or he loses his voice.”

Looking to the future, Evren and Cenk consider raising their ten year old son to be their top priority. For this Valentine’s day, their son asked his mom to buy him two cards, so he can send them to his parents as Valentine’s gifts.

Evren asked Cenk what his plan for the future of their relationship is.

“Grow old together.”

Phishing for dollars

Keep an eye on your computer Computers are now an integral part of life at Case Western Reserve University. We use them to communicate, do groundbreaking research, order pizza and watch videos of cats watching washing machines. How did we ever survive before YouTube?

But just as the rise of the car led to the rise of the car thief, the rise of the computer has led to the rise of the cybercriminal. And just like with automobile theft and other crimes, there are steps you can take to try and keep yourself from becoming a victim. Some may seem obvious (locking a car door seems obvious, but is sometimes forgotten), but a number of CWRU students have fallen victim to some of these types of crimes this year, so a refresher seems in order.

First, always remember that most things you say or send on the internet are going to be preserved or stored in some manner probably for longer than you think; and in many cases viewed or accessed by more people than you think. So pause before you hit send on that message or download that photo— think of it like getting a tattoo. You want to make sure it isn’t something that isn’t going to embarrass or be used against you years from now. A simple but sometimes forgotten concept.

5

Another simple but sometimes forgotten concept is being wary of sharing personal identifiers or financial information over the internet. Every CWRU email account gets bombarded with phishing attacks from people claiming to be your bank, CWRU IT or some other organization you do business with threatening dire consequences if you don’t provide the requested information immediately. Don’t do it until you can verify who you are dealing with.

Finally a scam that often targets the parents, or grandparents, of students far away from home or abroad is the phony crisis scam. This is a phone call that states your son/daughter has been arrested in Cleveland/Daytona Beach/ Mexico City and you need to send bail money immediately. The best way to prevent this is to keep in contact with your loved ones so they know when they are being scammed. So let’s look out for each other—I’m off to watch some cat videos.

arts & entertainment Beating the winter blues Style tips for February weather

Kelsey Holmberg Contributing Reporter We might have been fooled a few times this season, but the weather this week has confirmed that it’s still winter in Cleveland. When it seems like class work and exams are only adding to the gloom outside, it’s easy to get caught up in the winter blues.

Sometimes the right outfit is just what you need to get your day started well.

Look good, feel good; right? Here are some tips from your fellow Case Western Reserve University students on how they keep their winter wardrobe exciting to beat the winter blues.

Esther Otasanya is a first-year student with an eye for style. As a creator of her own line, Otasanya is constantly trying new things with her own wardrobe. Her tried-and-true tip for dull winter days?

Add a scarf. Finding scarves with unique patterns or bold pops of color can add an element of interest to anyone’s everyday outfit. “A well-placed scarf can turn any casual winter look into a killer winter style,” said Otasanya.

For other students, like James Hisnanick, it’s all about the footwear. When asked about how he beats the winter blues, his reply was, “put on a great pair of shoes and some fun socks.”

Picking out a cool pair of retro sneak-

Kelsey Holmberg/Observer (From left to right) James Hisnanick, Esther Otasanya and Stefan Roeseler show off their strategies to beat coldweather melancholy. ers, like Hisnanick does, is one way to really spice up your look. And, don’t forget about the socks—there are some great sites online where you can find socks with prints of just about anything (from Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” to Cheetos).

Another trend that allows for high style while offering maximum comfort is joggers. This specific type of sweatpant has been seen on countless celebrities in the

past year. However, unlike typical celeb fashions, joggers are affordable—making them downright practical for college students. Stefan Roeseler claims, that joggers are “much more form fitting” than normal sweats. “They don’t pick up salt from the street,” says Roeseler, which is especially helpful in messy winter weather.

A final word of advice from your CWRU peers: With spring just around the

corner, it’s a perfect time to bring out the pastel colors. Soft pinks, lavenders and mint shades freshen up every outfit. Firstyear student Suhan Mestha suggests wearing a floral blouse with a matching pastel cardigan as a simple winter outfit that will keep you cheery all day.

And, thanks to an update from Punxsutawney Phil, we can rest assured that an early spring is headed our way soon.

Cleveland Museum of Art celebrates 100 years features objects encompassing 3,000 years of ancient Egyptian history, showing “a country divided by civil war, conquered by foreign power or ruled by competing kings.”

Maria Fazal Staff Reporter This year holds special meaning for the Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA), which is celebrating 100 years since opening its doors on June 6, 1916. To commemorate this milestone, the museum will hold various events, exhibitions and parties throughout the year.

Led by Director William M. Griswold, all of the museum’s departments have been collaborating and planning the events for years.

“The museum’s year-long Centennial celebration will honor this great institution in myriad ways,” says Griswold.

“We have collaborated … to plan meaningful and memorable programs that celebrate our history and set a bright and exciting course for the future.”

According to Communications Associate Kelley Notaro, some highlights from the year-long celebration include works from four continents, ranging from ancient to contemporary pieces, and a plethora of loans from renowned museums around the world.

“Students should understand they don’t have to be frequent museum visitors to enjoy honoring the museum’s 100th anniversary,” says Notaro. “The

Converging Lines: Eva Hesse and Sol LeWitt (April 3-July 31) This exhibition highlights how the friendship between two famous postwar artists affected their art and lives. Their works show the significant influence they had on each other’s almost contrary art styles. A particular highlight of this exhibition is “Wall Drawing #46,” which LeWitt created after Hesse’s untimely death “as a way of paying homage to the organic contours that were a hallmark of Hesse’s art.”

The exhibitions planned for the centennial year include a collaboration with the British Museum and a showcase of minimalist art.

Playlist of the Week: Spotlight on Brite Winter

Greek food at its simple best Alex Tomazic Staff Reporter

Sarah Lisk Staff Reporter Despite a serious lack of music festivals in Northeast Ohio, Cleveland boasts a surprising number of local groups. On Feb. 20, a selection of the best, including Seafair, Marcus Alan Ward and Cities & Coasts, will take the stages of the popular and free Brite Winter fest along with some national names. This year, the outdoor music and art festival will be hosted at the West Bank of the Flats neighborhood.

This week, check out songs from some of the bands in the lineup.

The Mowgli’s - “Whatever Forever” In Fall 2013, The Mowgli’s upbeat tunes helped spirited CWRU students shed their stress at The Spot. Since then the musical ensemble has hit the Billboard charts with tracks like the jolly “San Francisco.” For similar good vibes relax to “Whatever Forever” off of the group’s second album. The 2016 Brite Winter headliners will no doubt warm up a cold Cleveland crowd with their bright and very SoCal energy.

Nick D’ & The Believers - “Bang Bang” The Columbus-based Nick D’Andrea and his crew have been cooking up homemade indie pop collabs since 2013.

Despite their low-key, guitar-based tunes, like “Bang Bang,” the band puts on a solidly energetic show. Their songs may not be works of lyrical genius, but find them at Brite Winter to bounce your head to their chill, funky beats.

Honeybucket - “Pursuit of Happiness” For a serious taste of newgrass—for the uninitiated, that’s new + bluegrass— listen to Cleveland’s own Honeybucket.

Their cover of Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness” features harmonic voices over some surprisingly fierce guitar and mandolin playing. In addition to their genrebending covers, the trio writes their own twangy pop tunes about love and whiskey and everything in between.

#FlashbackFriday The Lighthouse and the Whaler - “Venice” Featured in 2014’s Brite Winter lineup, The Lighthouse and the Whaler has since appeared in the spotlight of the national indie music scene. Their signature single, “Venice,” which has made its rounds on alternative radio, is forlorn and wistful. Unfortunately for us, the band is currently on a national tour with Run River North, so don’t expect to see them in Cleveland any time soon.

Find all these tracks online with our weekly Spotify playlist at observer.case.edu.

With Uptown flourishing, it is becoming easier for students to choose something different to eat besides dining hall food. There are many cuisines to sample: everything from pizza to sushi is represented along this stretch of Euclid.

There is a new player to the stage offering a fresh take on Mediterranean food. Simply Greek opened its Uptown location in late January, in a laid-back storefront near Mitchell’s Ice Cream. The restaurant has a good sense of self; it doesn’t feel like a gimmick restaurant trying to transport you to Greece. The décor is simple and tasteful, reflecting a celebration of Cleveland.

The friendly staff, led by owner Nick Moissis, is passionate about the restaurant and its food. The menu offers classic Greek cuisine with a mix of traditional American fare at reasonable prices. I grew up close to a gyro place, so I’ve had my fair share of gyros in my lifetime.

Simply Greek’s Classic Gyro was one of the best gyros I have ever had. The meat was delicious and juicy, yet not greasy. It was sliced thin and high on warm pita bread, topped with fresh greens, tomato, onions and their housemade tzatziki sauce. The sauce really won me over: It completes the gyro while complimenting the flavor of the meat and the crunch of the veggies. The gyro itself was also pretty large and left me walking away full.

Simply Greek’s fries are hand-cut, perfect-

They also serve house-made baklava, which has the perfect mixture of flakey pastry and sweet filling. If gyros aren’t your food of choice, the restaurant offer burgers, salads and wraps.

The entire experience feels like you were cooked a classic Greek meal with a modern touch. The emphasis of fresh, quality ingredients is evident from your first bite. If you’ve never had a gyro, this is a great place to start. I know I’ll be back for more.

CWRU Alum band Bro Dylan talks band name, Spot Night and new album Anne Nickoloff Director of Print On a small corner stage in late January, Bro Dylan finished performing a rock song at Cebars Euclid Tavern.

However, the crowds’ eyes were transfixed on the television; they didn’t even seem to notice a band was in the room.

“How’s everyone doing?” asked singer Alex Zinni.

The crowd gave no response.

“How’re the Cavs doing?” Zinni asked.

A row of audience members at the bar simultaneously raised their hands in a collective thumbs up. A closeup of a very sweaty Lebron James popped up on the bar’s television screens. The score was 66 to 57, and the team had 8:47 left in the quarter. At this moment, Bro Dylan still had a couple more hours to play.

“I’ll take it,” said Zinni, before the band launched into their next song. *** The indie band had already had a long day before their lengthy performance at Cebars. After seven hours of recording, they had been scheduled for the three hour gig at the small local bar.

As Bro Dylan tiredly set up their equipment, an audience began to come inside where it was warm. Some were there to watch the game, while others were there to get a drink. There weren’t too many people; mostly regulars, who chatted with the bartender.

Included in the regular attendees was Costello, a large yellow labrador.

“This is his second home,” said the dog’s owner, as Costello walked around

and greeted everyone in the room.

Costello lapped water from a metal bowl against the wall, underneath a dart board. Then, he hopped onstage and sniffed around the drumset and tangled cords. “I guess he’s performing tonight,” said Zinni.

Zinni, a Case Western Reserve University alumnus, has stayed close to the school since graduating in 2014. He and the other two members of the band, bassist Matthew Burtonshaw and drummer Mike Miller, are regular performers at the Barking Spider tavern, located near The Coffee House at University Circle, and have performed at past University Program events. On March 19 they’ll be opening for a Spot Night headliner.

“I used to go to Spot Night for the $1 beers,” said Zinni.

Bro Dylan has existed with its current name for only a short period; previously, band members were known as “Thread and Needle,” and before that, “Surefire.” But their connection goes beyond their band projects; the three musicians have known each other since the third grade.

Zinni admitted that their current name is “a total joke.”

The name came pretty randomly. Before a gig, the members of Bro Dylan were discussing songs to play. Zinni accidentally pronounced “Bob Dylan” as “Bro Dylan,” and the trio decided to name their band after the slipup. “A lot of people hate the name, a lot of people like the name,” said Zinni. “There is no in between.”

Bro Dylan is more raw than their previous folk project Thread and Needle, but a folky sound is still present in much of their music, mixed with newer

Anne Nickoloff/Observer Indie band Bro Dylan performed a three-hour set at Cebars Euclid Tavern, where they played original music off of their upcoming album and a few covers of popular songs. Singer Alex Zinni graduated from CWRU in 2014. beach rock elements. During their show at Cebars, Bro Dylan performed mostly original music, with a couple of covers of The Raconteurs and The Black Keys thrown in for good measure.

One of Zinni’s favorite memories with Bro Dylan has to do with a performance of a cover song. Before the holidays, the band was performing at Mullarkey’s Irish Pub when an inebriated man dressed as Santa worked his way to the front row. When Bro Dylan performed a cover of “Take Me Out” by Franz Ferdinand, the man screamed all

the lyrics as loudly as he could.

The band builds its fan base one drunk Santa at a time.

Though for now they’re performing shows at small bars with no cover charge, they’ve got big plans in store.

On May 28, the band will release their first album at the Beachland Ballroom.

There, no Cavs game will be on TVs. No Santa Clauses will be in attendance.

It’ll just be Bro Dylan, a band whose name was decided by a slipup, performing onstage.

Film fest showcases international environmentalism Alex Tomazic Staff Reporter

On Saturday, Feb. 6, a sold-out crowd of 500 community members packed into the Cleveland Museum of Natural History (CMNH) to celebrate the natural environment and shed light on the challenges it faces.

The 14th Wild & Scenic Film Festival is currently touring the United States and stopped in Cleveland for a shortened version of the regular event.

The primary festival features over 100 films over the course of three days. Only 15 of these films were selected to provide a more tailored experience for the Northeast Ohio audience. The film festival started in 2003 by the South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL, pronounced “circle”), an environmental advocacy group based out of Northern California. After several battles against proposed dams, the festival’s name celebrates the achievement of Wild & Scenic status on 39 miles of the South Yuba River in 1999.

In addition to the actual films, the museum held an enviro-fair that showcased several local environmental groups. The groups included the Cleveland Botanical Garden, the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes, the Earth Day

Coalition, Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Slow Roll Cleveland and the Cleveland Vegan Society. A majority of the conversations at the fair revolved around passion for preserving the environment and educating the public about these issues. A representative of the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes discussed how

they chose to stop in Cleveland. “[The film festival] is looking to find a partner in the city that’s interested in environmental conservations, it’s a great fit for us,” said Rouse.

The Murch Auditorium was filled to capacity as the films started. The movies varied in length, ranging from a few minutes to over

“Everyone is aware that [Cleveland] is really undergoing this renaissance and we are becoming the place to be...[the film festival] is looking to find a partner in the city that’s interested in environmental conservations, it’s a great fit for us.” vital it is to educate children at a young age to foster a culture of environmental protection.

Although it might be hard to believe that Cleveland, a city well known for a flaming river, could have the capacity for protecting the environment, Manager of Public Programs at CMNH Mary Rouse assured otherwise. “Everyone is aware that [Cleveland] is really undergoing this renaissance and we are becoming the place to be,” said Rouse.

While the Wild & Scenic Film Festival is traveling the country, it is significant that

a half-hour long. There was a definite emphasis on the global environment as the films featured the wildlife recovery of Namibia, a small town in New York that resisted fracking and the preservation of the Fijian Highlands.

The festival did not treat its subject with strict seriousness, as “Spaceship Earth Passenger Safety Briefing” was full of quick wit and laughs and “Bounce, this is not a freestyle movie” felt more like an uplifting viral video than a call for environmental protection.

The films were made with great care and attention to detail. “Monarchs & Milkweed,” produced for Yosemite National Park, took viewers closer to the activity and ecosystem of the Monarch butterfly and transformed mundane moments of beetles and caterpillars into beautiful scenes filled with life. The most heartfelt film was “An Education, A Father-Daughter Trip of Discovery,” which featured a National Geographic Explorer who took his 11-year-old daughter on her first skiing expedition to Antarctica. The film also resonates the importance of early education with regard to environmental issues.

“It’s an important message to get out there. Some of this is cutting edge science, things you’re not going to see on TV or even in a regular movie theatre,” said Rouse.

Harvey Webster, CMNH director of wildlife, said the films “are all remarkable in their own way.”

After attending the film festival, it became clear how passionate citizens in the community are about environmental protection and activism. The event was a great opportunity to see local groups and talk to them about how they’re contributing to the fight. The films themselves showcased the beauty of nature to inspire audience members to take action.

A flawed love letter to old Hollywood Lars Torres Staff Reporter

The Coen brothers have left a significant mark on the arts and entertainment industry with many films ranging from “Fargo,” “The Big Lebowski” and “No Country for Old Men” to name a few of their more influential and noteworthy projects. With their latest release, they return with a lighter, goofier romp, something that the Coen brothers are known for due to their constant genre mashing and experimentation. Whether or not audiences will take to this odd look at Old Hollywood has yet to be seen, as the film “Hail, Caesar!” is an odd film to try to understand.

The film centers on studio executive and “fixer” Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin), the head of the fictional Capitol Pictures, a studio loosely based on Metro-GoldwynMayer. He settles various problems caused by the studio’s stars and other personnel.

Mannix is a workaholic, and it doesn’t seem that he’s too pleased with his position. And the position itself is threatened when he’s offered a tempting job at the better-paying and less stressful company Lockheed.

During this time, the studio’s biggest picture is “Hail, Caesar!: A Tale of the Christ,” featuring renowned leading man Baird Whitlock (George Clooney). However, following a routine film shoot, Whitlock is drugged by conniving extras in the film and immediately kidnapped by mysterious figures who simply call themselves

Courtesy Universal Pictures

Despite beautiful cinematography and strong performances from the cast, “Hail, Caesar!” wilts due to a weak plot and undeveloped characters.

“The Future.”

Faced with a public relations nightmare in the wake of Whitlock’s kidnapping, Mannix attempts to deal with “The Future” while “fixing” some film stars, from a famous starlet who winds up pregnant (Scarlett Johansson), to a sub-par Western actor (Alden Ehrenreich) who is tossed out of his element when acting in a drama by a distinguished director (Ralph Fiennes), to a song and dance actor (Channing Tatum) with a few secrets of his own.

I was accompanied to the film by firstyear student Aditya Kamat, a fan of the

Coen brothers. He was mostly entertained, but agreed that it was a strange film. As Kamat said following the movie’s conclusion: “Well, it looked pretty beautiful, man.”

He is not wrong, as the cinematography by the legendary Roger Deakins does not fail to amaze. The film’s production design, costumes and overall feel are striking.

No one can do period dramas as well as the Coen brothers.

The performances all around are also impressive, with the standout being Ehrenreich as a good-hearted but grossly imperfect actor who also shares the funniest

scene in the movie with Ralph Fiennes as they attempt to get a single take right.

The praise from Kamat stops here.

“There was no plot in this movie really,” said Kamat. “Everything just happens because stuff happens and there is no conclusion either.”

I can’t disagree with him for the most part. The main plot regarding communists and “The Future” does not really go anywhere meaningful, while the other storylines tend to outshine the main plot.

Mannix’s Lockheed decision is also rather underdeveloped, as is the use of Tilda Swinton as identical twin gossip columnists. The writing is sharp and the humor is done well, so it almost makes up for shoddy character development and a bare plot.

Overall, in pieces, “Hail, Caesar!” is a lot of fun, but this is not supposed to be a series of short sketches; it’s supposed to be a full-length film. The star actors are used sparingly (especially Jonah Hill, who is completely sidelined), so don’t expect to see a lot of them. In the end, the film is well done in some aspects, but falters on an area that the Coens should be masters of by now. You may leave the theater wanting a bit more in the way of story, characters and coherence.

opinion Class time slot changes are sensible Editorial Academics are a timeless enterprise and that’s no less true for Case Western Reserve University. That’s why the recent changes to future course time slots (the specific blocks of time courses are permitted to take place) gave us the jolt only alarm clocks do.

The key change is a 15-minute break between all classes. It’s certainly possible to have a class in Clark and Rockefeller back to back, and that extra five minutes would help then, but we doubt that would be the case for a majority of students. Instead, this will be a better chance for them to rehydrate and nibble on something before their next class or perhaps have a quick chat with a friend. All these activities might make it easier to pay attention in class. What the change will really allow for, education-wise, is a chance to ask your professor that lingering question and perhaps strike up an interesting conversation.

You also get to spend longer intervals of time in class. There is a new, earlier Monday, Wednesday and Friday 75-minute slot. Almost all classes on Tuesdays

and Thursdays will also be 75 minutes.

For those unsure whether class time helps them, that 25-minute increase might make it worth it. Waking up on time and being prepared for an early 8:30 a.m. Tuesday class might feel like it’s worth more if the class itself is longer.

When it comes encouraging class attendance, The Observer staff is split on the effects of earlier classes: The new 8 a.m.

MWF or 8:30 a.m. T/R start time is too early for many of us. We’re not sure how awake students would be at these times, and the presence of MediaVision Courseware might be the perfect excuse not to get up that early.

The detrimental affects on academic performance are concerning, but in reality, a 30-minute shift back might amount to a significant difference.

That being said, many students will begin their work days earlier than most classes and will certainly have longer, albeit hopefully cozier, commutes. Rolling out of bed at 8:10 a.m. isn’t ever going to cut it in a 9-5 job, and perhaps it’s time to get used to it. (We’re talking to you, seniors.)

Those who do commute to campus

won’t agree with that sentiment. We hope this means future sensible decisions in terms of professors cancelling early classes and the university following suit when the bad weather hits. Forcing anyone to drive dangerously to make an 8 a.m. test isn’t the right way to educate.

What commuters will hate the most is the new 7:30-10:30 p.m. final exam time slot, which goes later than any other regularly scheduled class. (Those who have an exam in this slot won’t be scheduled another exam in the morning, however.)

That’s late to be driving and depending on distance from the school, not the safest. For all students, we’d like to see extra greenies to be made available to shepherd these students home or to their cars during the late-night exams.

The 7-9:30 p.m. time frame is late to be in class. If a student also has a morning class, they will have barely enough time for eight hours of sleep. Evening classes will further interfere with extracurriculars, which already purposefully meet in the evening to avoid disputes with classes Overall, students shouldn’t see too much of a change in class time slots, ex-

Clarissa Cuevas/Observer cluding the length in between classes, themselves. We expect an increase in class engagement, but also for a chance to unwind, especially for those with classes clustered together.

We have all faced the struggle of getting up early in high school. Still, we anticipate a mix of groaning but also growing from CWRU. We hope that extracurriculars won’t face class time conflicts.

Fetal alcohol disorders were recently featured in “Vital Signs,” a monthly report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Although the article spurred controversy from readers, representatives defended their published advice.

“More than three million U.S. women are at risk because they are drinking, having sex and not using birth control to prevent pregnancy,” the report starts. “Women can stop drinking alcohol if they are trying to get pregnant or could get pregnant.”

We are left wondering if our species can procreate without its male analog, since the tone from both institutions proposes that women are the sole contenders, unescorted during these screenings, solely responsible when it comes to taking advice.

Almost absently, we accept prejudiced blame in Brazil and countries like it, where women still do not have safe access to birth control. Zika and the government’s immediate response to “avoid pregnancy” seem to have actually helped the feminist cause there, exposing more than a few sore,

The report dovetailed nicely this month with Brazil’s Zika virus outbreak, and the Brazilian Health Ministry’s targeted and wise suggestion: women should “avoid pregnancy” until the epidemic has passed or until more is known about it. Well-inten-

seems somewhat inane. What else enters the uterus but semen? Will anything further ever enter or exit the vagina, besides the now infected baby? Perhaps instead of cautioning women to “avoid pregnancy,” the addendum could have also warned men to “avoid getting women pregnant.” Uterus plays house but conception starts with a seed that, if not delivered, does not procreate.

The same double standard applies to the CDC, a chief sector of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Reactions to the fetal alcohol report were met defensively by CDC deputies, and so offended retorts from women seem to fall on dismissive, annoyed ears. But contrary to what some say, you do not need rose-colored feminist lenses to find the blatant sexual discrimination here. Telling women that they should not drink and have sex unless they are on a dedicated birth control regimen candidly blames women for all the unplanned pregnancies in this country (according to the same report, about half of all pregnancies in the U.S.) as well the fetal alcohol disorders in either group (planned or not).

Not pairing this advice with a report for men—or refusing to mention a male partner’s role in this report—does double the

damage. In essence, a less offensive CDC pointer could have advised men not to have unprotected sex with women who are intoxicated. Wearing a condom for consensual, mutually safe sex is just as much a responsibility for men as it is for women.

Just as surprising as the CDC’s omission of male liability is the perspective among readers that the fetal alcohol report was not insulting towards women, nor impractical. Advocates of the biased report should consider that conception is a two person job. With the exception of a few asexual underwater species and that famous virgin in Bethlehem, sperm is the essential ingredient.

Focusing all advice, energies and blame on women not only does little to prevent whatever epidemic the CDC is fighting, but also perpetuates the misjudgment that women and men exist as separate, unequal entities when in reality, their plights are often conjoined. Higher institutions, especially when communicating with the public, especially in this day and age, should emphasize this harmonic theme above all else.

Learn from “Formation,” listen to Beyoncé’s wisdom on race Current Adventure: Case Heather O’Keeffe About a week ago, Beyoncé dropped “Formation” and the internet exploded with praise, critique, celebration, pushback and analyses. The music video, its imagery and lyrics are a treasure trove of information on the black experience in America and what it means to celebrate black culture that white Americans have so much to learn from.

I am so very privileged: I am a white woman from an upper-middle class neighborhood, attended a good high school and shared a healthy dinner with my family each night. Of course my family and I have endured hardship, my parents are divorced and my great-great grandfather was a convict shipped to Australia. Nonetheless, we have benefitted in more ways than we could ever imagine by the pigment of our skin.

It is so very important that we admit our privilege and realize that we, as white people, inherently experience the world in a very different way than people of color.

While I will never truly know or experience life as a person of color in America, I should not remain ignorant. Rather I, and we, should seek knowledge, insight and appreciation of the inherent differences between those who are privileged and marginalized in our country. When we do this, we develop more meaningful relationships, have fuller, richer experiences and help foster a society that loves, respects and values each of its member as an individual, not a stereotype.

Music, in its storytelling capacity, is a perfect place to jumpstart our knowledge, insight and appreciation. Via lyrics, instrumentals, performance and music videos, artists are able to speak their

truth, share their experience and spread their message. I first realized this in 2008, when my feminist mom nodded her head in agreement to the honesty of Beyonce’s “If I Were A Boy.” Within the lyrics of their songs and imagery of their music videos, Childish Gambino, Jay Z, Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar (some of my favorite artists) share their life experiences and reflect on institutionalized racism in America. By actively listening and digging into the meaning of each line, we as white people can learn so much. (I suggest the annotations on Rap Genius as a starting point.)

In “Hold You Down,” Childish Gambino explains how racism is still a fixture within our society. This song could easily inspire a SAGES class. One line though has always stood out to me: “White kids get to wear whatever hat they want, when it comes to black kids one size fits all.” I can be a nerd, athlete, class clown, hipster, any combination of these things or none at all and our society will respect that.

Society does not grant that luxury to our black peers. They are pigeon holed into stereotypes. We live this lyric more often than we would care to believe: My friend, while attending another university, was often assumed to be an athlete on campus. After semester upon semester of this, he felt that as a young black student he did not belong on campus but would have been welcomed as an athlete.

Jay Z takes these harmful stereotypes a step further in “99 Problems.” The second verse is a fictionalized exchange, based off true events, between Jay and a police officer. The officer pulls Jay over for “doing 55 in a 54” and asks Jay if he is carrying a weapon since “I know a lot of you are.” Jay knows that the officer acted on the slightest infraction; the real reason Jay was pulled over was “cause I’m

College admissions decisions should weigh service higher Student Mind Brian Eckert The college application process can be one of the most stress-inducing periods in a student’s life. Trying to pack four years of accomplishments and honors into one single application isn’t an easy feat. Some people are trying to change this process, even here at Case Western Reserve University.

Recently here at CWRU, there have been discussions about changing the application process from need-blind to need aware. What this could mean is that each student’s financial need will be taken into account during their application review process. Certain admissions decisions would be made depending on how much financial need they express.

Essentially, the university would be able to pick one student over another equally qualified student, based solely on which student is more or less financially qualified for the university.

Turning the Tide is a project being developed by Harvard’s Graduate School of Education under a larger initiative named the Making Caring Common Project. Both of these projects have the goal of making education and college applications less difficult and less stressful for prospective students. The goal of Turning the Tide is to make the college admissions process easier, less stressful and overall more beneficial to the students.

Turning the Tide is a three-part initiative with the purpose of making college and the admissions process something that students can go through without feeling pressured. Too many students today go to college because of their parents—they choose their major because

of their parents and this is wrong. Furthermore, during high school, students take AP and IB classes just for college.

Turning the Tide is trying to change all of these things for the betterment of the admissions process for students.

The first part of this three-phase project is to promote more community activities on applications. The project would like to promote the greater good, placing more weight on community service activities than on other things.

This first goal is important and is helpful to many students. Volunteering is a great way for students that would normally spend their days taking five AP classes and nights in three different clubs get away from the classroom and do something wonderful for their community. Something great happens when some of the most well-qualified students in a community are able to go out into a community and give something back.

Students should be able to do a variety of activities in high school without being penalized in college. Some schools don’t offer AP courses or have the funding for clubs and sports that colleges look for.

This is an unfair advantage for students that live in wealthier areas and go to nicer schools.

Community service should be given just as much, if not more, merit on a college application. It is something that everyone can do, regardless of their situation. There are countless ways for any student to get involved regardless of the circumstances they’ve been forced to live with in their school.

This project will forever change the college application process if it is able to succeed.

young and I’m black and my hat’s real low.” The officer acted on racial profiling and straight up racism (“a lot of you are”), which is still a problem today.

Additionally, the song acts as a stark reminder that this exchange would never happen to me: I can set cruise control to 8 miles over the speed limit confident that I won’t be pulled over, because the officer will give my white face the benefit of the doubt.

For many of us white people, talking about race is hard. We often take talk of privilege, marginalization, black empowerment and Black Lives Matter as a personal assault. We imagine that these conversations lead to actions which undermine our accomplishments, devalue

with the status quo often treat black citizens as second class. The statistic that one in three black men will spend time in prison and the pattern of differential prison sentences favoring whites speaks volumes of the irrelevance Lamar speaks of.

These artists have taught me so much about race, my own privilege, socioeconomics, systemic racism and topics I never knew I didn’t know. They are just one of the many ways I seek to further my knowledge, insight and appreciation.

One of the greatest repercussions of my whiteness is that I am not forced to contemplate race because I am not harassed by police, pigeonholed as a stereotype or still seeking reconciliation after the enslavement of my ancestors. However if I

We need to remember our inherently different experiences based on race. our own hardships and unfairly demand our assets.

Kendrick Lamar blatantly states this in “The Blacker the Berry.” The lyrics say, “You hate me don’t you? You hate my people, your plan is to terminate our culture?”

Rather than get angry and begrudge Lamar for playing the race card again, we need to listen and ask ourselves why Lamar is saying this. We need to recall our privilege, remember our inherently different experiences based on race, and continue to listen, read and pursue the truth behind this question.

Thankfully for us, Lamar immediately responds in the next verse, “It’s evident that I’m irrelevant to society that’s what you’re telling me, penitentiary would only hire me.”

want to be part of a more equitable society and a more just America, then I must begin to learn and listen about race.

Now I request you, my white peers, to actively listen to and learn from Beyoncé’s newest music video “Formation.”

Watch the video at least once, soak in the powerful imagery, analyze the lyrics and follow up with critical analyses and celebration of the song. “Formation” isn’t for us or about us, but that shouldn’t stop us from listening.

You and I have a lot of learning to do, why don’t we start with Beyoncé?

Hollywood, not Oscars, truly unwilling to enact equality Thoughtful Consideration Abby Assmus As a movie fan of many genres and types of movies, from historical to animated features, award shows can be a fun thing to look forward to annually. The Academy Awards, one of the “biggest” movie awards, has come under criticism for its continual lack of diversity, specifically in its all-white actor nominations and movies where most of the casts consist of white actors.

Finally this year, the Academy recognized the problem and said it will attempt to add more diversity next year by trying to branch out their membership. The president of the Academy, Cheryl Boone, stated that they have changed in the previous four years, but not quickly enough.

She also maintains that this kind of immense change is not unprecedented. She has previously stated, “In the 60s and 70s it was about recruiting younger members to stay vital and relevant. In 2016, the mandate is inclusion in all of its facets: gender, race, ethnicity and sexual orientation.”

There are a multitude of problems surrounding race and society in the Oscars, and the Academy itself. What’s most disappointing, however, is the fact that it has taken this long for there to be so much backlash against the long standing respected awards ceremony and for serious change to even be considered.

The diversity problem within the Oscars is about more than just not being representative of all races, it is also about the types of movies and how the awards are not reflective of what people actually watch and discuss. Popular movies like Marvel’s “The Avengers” and “The Hunger Games” series are never even considered seriously.

Yet, even if Hollywood’s biggest movies were nominated, there is little to no diversity in them either. So how do you fix the problem of inherent racism within one of the biggest industries in America?

Not easily, but that does not mean that we stand back and continue to watch awards ceremonies and movies that are completely unrepresentative of so many people.

One way to invoke change is to boycott the Oscars; many celebrities such as Spike Lee and Jada Pinkett-Smith have called for this. However simply not watching an awards show that many people do not see as representative of the movies they love and enjoy is not going to change the types of roles that people of color are offered and what is produced within Hollywood itself.

It is not going to change overnight, but being more vocal about the types of movies and television shows fans want to see produced can have a better change on diversity as a whole in screens.

What is most frustrating about the Oscars is that even Boone, the Academy’s president, recognizes that changes were made in the 60s and 70s to include younger members to stay relevant, yet they are just now focusing on being inclusive of all people.

This calls into question whether the Academy is truly trying to be inclusive of all races, genders, ethnicities and sexual orientations or if they are simply fighting to stay relevant as many movie fans tune out when their favorite actors and movies are not a part of the awards.

The lack of diversity remains a problem not only within the Oscars and the Academy, but Hollywood itself.

Women’s tennis kicks off versus Kenyon Ben Resnick Contributing Reporter The 2016 Case Western Reserve University tennis team began their season this past Saturday, beating Kenyon College 6-3. The Spartans came into this match as favorites ranked 20th in Division III and were able to fend of the unranked Kenyon team.

CWRU got strong play from their doubles pairings winning two out of the three matches. The pairing of second-year student Nithya Kanagasegar and fourth-year student Surya Khadilkar were able to defeated Kenyon’s Diana Aboubakare and Samantha Murphy 8-3 in the first doubles match, while the third pairing of third-year student Jennifer Lowe and fourth-year student Michelle Djohan, were able to win a decisive 8-1 match over Kenyon’s Jenna Murray and Alyssa Moreau. The Spartans fell in the second doubles match as the grouping of second-year student Nina Cepeda and fourth-year student and captain Taylor Sweeney were unable to win the close 8-6 match against Maggie Sweeney and Grace Winslow.

Head Coach Kirsten Gambrell was very pleased with the way her doubles pairs played.

“I believe it gave us a great deal of confidence and momentum heading into singles,” said Gambrell.

But even with this strong play Gambrell sees need for improvement.

“Our doubles need to get a lot better before we face some highly ranked teams in March,” said Gambrell, “but the Kenyon match was a step in the right direction.”

CWRU was able to keep the momentum going, winning four of the six singles matches to seal the team win. Sweeney, first-year student Jessica Liu, Djohan and Khadilkar, number two, three, four and five singles respectively, were all able to get the upper hand on their opponents.

Gambrell was very pleased with the way the singles matches went and realizes that they will be heavily relied on for her team to have a successful season.

“We are incredibly deep all the way down the singles lineup and we do a great job of being consistent and hustling for every ball,” said Gambrell.

While it was a successful start to a long season, the team realizes there is a lot of work still to be done.

Moving forward Gambrell is trying to get her team fitter, better at holding serve and more prepared for pressure situations.

She feels that these factors will be key in guiding her team to a successful first half of the season.

The team will put their new skills to the test in their next two matches when they take on 27th ranked Hope College on Saturday, Feb. 13, and 38th ranked Kalamazoo College on Sunday, Feb. 14.

Point/Counterpoint

The dilemma of sportsmanship Super Bowl highlighted a double standard in sports Welcome to Point/Counterpoint, the back and forth sports bar style debate column. This week we are looking at the Super Bowl’s aftermath and the questions of sportsmanship it sparked. Carolina Panthers player Cam Newton barely talked to reporters at his post-game press conference. New York Giants player Eli Manning was accused of not cheering for his brother. What does sportsmanship look like and what is its place? This transcript has been lightly edited.

JP O’Hagan, Sports Editor: I feel like there is a double standard in sports when it comes to sportsmanship. The true definition of sportsmanship, I have always thought to be that sports are enjoyed for their own sake, and competed fairly and respectfully between teams. However the media and the public seem more inclined to be upholding this for the losers rather than the winners. Winners are allowed to bask in the glory, whereas losers are supposed to take the loss graciously. But why? The losers played their hearts out as much as the winner, why aren’t they allowed to be down about the outcome? To losers the mentality is “it’s only a game” but to the winners it is a triumph, an achievement.

Billy Heyen, Staff Reporter: I definitely agree that there is a double standard. I think some of this stems from a desire for the outsiders to feel the emotions of those who took part in the event. People want to feel happy because a team won, not remember that a team lost and feel sad or upset with them. There is a reason we always get to see the champagne spraying in the winning locker room during the MLB postseason,and not the gloomy atmosphere of the losing locker room. As far as I’m concerned, sportsmanship is only what happens on the field. Sure, respect should be carried over to every aspect of life, but sportsmanship consists of actions between the players and on the field. Cam Newton wasn’t showing poor sportsmanship by leaving his press conference. He was showing how badly the loss hurt, and I’m pretty sure none of the media members in that room had just lost the Super Bowl moments before. As much as people try to make professional athletes out to be superhuman, they simply aren’t. They’re just as human as the rest of us, and should be allowed to experience real human emotions.

JP: So that is an interesting point about it staying on the field (or court or ice or pitch) because that is the one place that we do see the flip side shine through more. Most sports have rules on their books that detriment anyone who doesn’t act in a sportsmanlike way, yet often those players are celebrated by the fans of the teams they play for. The first name that comes to mind is Ndamukong Suh, who is considered one of the dirtiest players in the NFL, yet beloved for that reason by Detroit fans when on the Lions. The Pistons of the early 90s embraced the “Bad Boys” label. Maybe it’s because I’m from Chicago, but those two stick out the most, though maybe that is just indicative of Detroit. But there are a lot of players cheered for going against the grain.

Billy: I think fans like to see that their players have fire. Obviously this fire can come through in ways that aren’t necessarily good for the sport, but home fans can still love it since it’s their boys. I think sportsmanship is more a code between athletes themselves and between athletes and officials. Off the field, there are more respectful or less respectful paths, but it doesn’t really speak to sportsmanship.

JP: So does that mean the fans are a the source of the double standard? Because I feel like most of us are able to differentiate between the shades of gray that dictate how to judge players as individuals. I feel like it is a sportscaster-perpetuated double standard.

They are the ones who complain about when Newton doesn’t talk to them. They are also the ones who condemn or applaud (depending which team they are broadcasting for) each player. It also may be the league’s fault. There are rules in place that discourage poor sportsmanship, but none are really strong enough to make the athletes think twice before fighting or gloating.

Billy: I certainly think fans have something to do with it ... I mean, let’s use Cam as an example ... Fans of the Panthers love to see Cam score and do his whole endzone routine. However fans of the opposition are the ones who complain that he is being immature or showboating ... That definitely wouldn’t happen if Cam was on the opposing sideline.

Bad sportsmanship is taunting a guy after you knocked him out; it isn’t celebrating after a big play. These are games played by human beings, and the most annoyed people are just the ones rooting for the team that the big play came at the expense of.

JP: That’s true. That Seahawks fan who wrote the open letter to Newton about tearing down the 12th man flag got rebuked pretty hard for it. So I guess the other question is “Is there more scrutiny on some players than others?” Because I’ve seen many point out that after his loss to the Saints in the 2010 Super Bowl Manning just walked off the field, whereas Newton at least did as is customary and shook Manning’s hand after the game.

Newton was criticized for lack of sportsmanship and Manning wasn’t, though Manning did talk to the press after the game. I would argue that the media is the one making the issue out of it since they are the ones who got snubbed. Should these have been judged the same way or not?

Billy: I think the difference is Manning shunned fellow players and Cam shunned the media. Naturally the media will make a bigger difference about the Cam thing because it affected them, although I feel his actions were actually a bit more excusable than Peyton’s in 2010. Neither are grave mistakes though, as a loss like that is heartbreaking.

JP: That’s very fair. Sportsmanship does seem very subjective, always depending on who is judging. Though it does seem like we have moved through the discussion. Any closing thoughts?

Billy: I think fans and media need to put themselves in the athlete’s shoes to understand what is happening. Athletes are real people with real emotions too, so those watching from beyond the sideline need to remember that.

CWRU track and field teams excel at Jim Wuske Invitational Shounak Bose Staff Reporter The Case Western Reserve University Men’s and Women’s Track and Field Team put together a strong showing at the Jim Wuske Invitational at the University of Mount Union.

Although multiple athletes posted personal records, the athletes still were competing for the team. “There is no point in the season where I am competing just for myself,” said second-year student Hayley Yocum. “Whether I am competing in a dual meet against CMU or a large invitational, I am running for my team. The thought of contributing to my team is what makes me walk to Veale for morning weights. Every step of my race is how I express what I am willing to do for my team.”

Noteworthy performances in the meet that were noted by Head Coach Eric Schmuhl included first-year student Ananth Suresh on the long and triple jump and fourth-year student Emily Harker on the high jump. Suresh reached a personal best of 13.20 meters, beating his previous record by a quarter of a meter. Harker reached a height of 1.51 meters on high jump. “It’s a great feeling to be able to contribute to the team in my first season,” said Suresh. “I hope to continue playing a part for the team in the horizontals, and I believe there is still more to give as the season progresses.”

Andrew Hodowanec/Observer The Spartans track and field team prepare for four meets in two weeks.

A now regular top performer for the Spartans, third-year student Temi Omilabu took second in the weight throw for the Spartans during her final throw of the meet, posting a 15.97-m mark. Despite the stress that may accompany the final throw, Omilabu didn’t let it bother her. “I try not to think too much when I’m throwing because I’m afraid that overthinking could throw me off,” Omilabu said, “Throwing takes a lot of technique, and one wrong movement could make or break your throw. I try to just let my muscle memory do the work and just trust that my body will know what to do when I step in the ring.”

Season preview

Other Spartans to attain personal records included first-year student and mid-distance runner Joseph Cabrall, who finished third in the 800-meter dash with a time of 2:00.56, and Yocum, who finished third in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 19:17.50, beating her previous best by over 40 seconds.

Yocum had a special reason for running her hardest this weekend. A close friend of hers recently lost his father to pancreatic cancer, and his strength motivated her. “During my 5-K I was repeating the phrase ‘cool beans.’ Before my friend’s father died he had made bracelets for his friends/family to wear that said #can-

cersucks and #coolbeans in an effort to remind the people that loved him that cancer was not strong enough to kill his ever-positive outlook on the world,” said Yocum. “Remembering that someone I loved very much was able to stay strong in the face of stage four pancreatic cancer helped remind me that I should take every opportunity to be courageous in the face of a struggle.”

All of the Spartans will use their individual motivations as they move forward to the rest of the season. Although the next meet for the Spartans is the mid-February meet at Baldwin Wallace University Feb. 12, Schmuhl mentioned that he is particularly excited for the All-Ohio Meet on Feb. 13. This meet, which includes all Division III teams from Ohio, is meaningful to Schmuhl because it provides “fantastic opportunities for us to compete against some of the nation’s best in our own backyard.”

When asked how he wanted to prepare his team for the meet, Schmuhl mentioned the importance of confidence. “All-Ohio is an incredibly competitive meet and it can be intimidating,” said Schmuhl. “There is an NCAA class athlete in virtually every event. To get the most out of it, the team needs to come in with some confidence and compete like they can win any event they’re in.”

The Indoor All-Ohio Championship will take place Feb. 13, at Otterbein University.

Men’s basketball wins and loses on smallest of margins Jacob Rayyan Staff Reporter The Case Western Reserve University men’s basketball team had Throwback Weekend, with the team wearing the historic Western Reserve University’s basketball uniforms against Brandeis University on Feb. 5 and Case Institute of Technology uniforms against New York University on Feb. 7. The Spartans went 1-1 on the weekend, defeating Brandeis while losing to NYU. The team has five more games left in the season, two of which are home Feb. 19 against University of Rochester and Feb. 21 against Emory University.

In the first matchup against Brandeis, the teams battled back and forth for the majority of the game with the Spartans winning 74-72. In a second half that featured neither team leading by more than four points, the Spartans sealed the victory thanks to second-year forward Eric Black hitting two free throws with just over five seconds left in the contest. “It’s great to get a quality win at home against a good team,” said thirdyear guard Javier Alvarez, “The energy in Adelbert was crazy, the fans really helped contribute to the win.”

Thanks to the play of fourth-year guard Matt Clark and Alvarez, the Spartans stayed on top of the Judges throughout, with the end of a hectic first half seeing the Spartans up one. Alvarez was the leading scorer in the

game posting 17. “ Our coach was stressing the importance of attacking the basket against their big man,” said Alvarez, “Once I was able to get a few lay ups to go in I felt more comfortable and got into a rhythm. My teammates also did a great job of playing unselfish basketball and finding me open shots.”

With 3:21 left in the game, Clark hit two key free throws to put the Spartans up four and in good position. The Judges responded by tying the game with just under two minutes left. The Spartans regained the lead when Colin Zucker stole the ball which led to a foul against Alvarez, who converted both shots to go back up by two. Zucker had a few big plays for the Spartans, helping with rebounds and assists rather than points. “ I try to help the team by being aggressive and by hustling, whether that is coming up with a rebound or playing defense to force a steal,” said Zucker.

The lead wouldn’t hold however as Brandies scored again to tie. With the game still tied with 39 seconds left, Black drew the foul and hit the free throw shots to win the game for the Spartans.

In the second matchup of the weekend against NYU, the Spartans looked to revenge a loss last week, this time donning Case Institute of Technology uniforms for Throwback Weekend. Unfortunately that would not happen as the Spartans had a heartbreaking loss 80-79. Second-year guard Jake Lavis led the way for the Spartans with 18 points, includ-

Lavis shot a remarkable four-of-six from the three point line. While the Spartans started the game off well, building a 13-9 lead in the early going, a large 16-3 run by the Violets quickly erased that as NYU had a 25-16 advantage with 11:33 left. The Spartans built up some more points right before the half, but an 8-0 run by NYU eliminated that as the Violets took a 42-36 lead into the half.

The Spartans responded quickly with a pair of threes from fourth-year student and guard Jimmy Holman and second-year forward David Black. The Violets began to pull away, holding a 69-58 advantage with 7:13 to play.

The Spartans showed resilience, however, and began to chip away at the lead. A 9-0 run by the team put them up three with 2:57 left.

In an exciting last few minutes, the Violets regained the lead, only to see CWRU take it back, holding a 77-76 advantage with 28 seconds left. The Violets would respond, however, converting a layup to take the lead for good, as a last minute effort did not prevail. Head Coach Sean McDonnell, on the comeback, said, “Our guys showed great resilience … We struggled to get a few key free throw rebounds and that ended up being the difference.”

The Spartans are now 10-10 on the season and are 3-6 in University Athletic Association play. When McDonnell was asked what the team needed to do to finish the season strong, McDonnell responded, “The most important game of our season is our next one, this Friday at Wash U.”

sports Bubble soccer bursts onto sports scene at CWRU Eddie Kerekes Staff Reporter What do you get when you combine hard hitting action, chaos, college students, two goals, a soccer ball and 10 air-filled bubble suits? Bubble soccer, of course.

The game, invented in Norway in 2011, took off in the United States after appearances on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” in February 2013 and “Shark Tank” in November 2015. Case Western Reserve University’s University Program Board (UPB) hosted a bubble soccer event on Saturday, Feb. 6, on the Veale Convocation, Recreation and Athletic Center courts.

UPB member Cindy Berry and Advisor Matthew Knickman saw the wave of support for the new game and both independently suggested it to UPB Director of On-Campus Committee Margaret Shull as a possible event. “At first I was a little hesitant,” said Shull, due to a fear of no one participating, “but when Matt brought up the idea too, I decided to give it a try.”

Two courts in Veale were closed off with wraparound netting as two teams of five players competed on each court. Each game lasted 10 minutes, and teams were only allowed to compete in one game. Every player was outfitted with a bubble protecting their body from their head down to mid-thigh, alobserver.case.edu lowing hard hits without threat of injury.

Teams signed up starting two weeks in

Jason Linn/Observer UPB brought the fad sport of Bubble Soccer to campus. advance of the event, up until the Wednesday before. The reason many students signed up is best summarized by first-year student Jacob Wise, “It sounded like a lot of fun.” It was either that or the fact that a friend coerced them into playing to fill out a team.

A game started with the soccer ball placed at center court and the two teams at the end lines, and a continuous clock began on the whistle of the referee from Cleveland Bubble Soccer, the organization UPB rented the equipment from. Two goals were marked off with cones at either side of the volleyball court, with the objective to score more goals than the other team. That’s where the similarities to regular soccer ended. Players generally chased after the ball and the only strategy was deciding whom to hit and when to hit them.

Most of the participants I talked to said hitting other people inconsequentially was

the best part of the game. “It’s the only contact sport where you’re not gonna die,” said fourth-year student Joseph Lerchbacker.

Fourth-year student Hayden Schmackpfeffer took a different route in his description. “It’s all the appeal of getting hit by a car, without the injuries,” he said.

The hard hits were also the main attraction for the spectators, mostly other participants waiting for their game, as well, ooh-ing and aah-ing at well-timed hits. Many a spectator had a camera out, whether in the form of an iPhone or a GoPro, filming their friends and trying to capture the best collisions.

UPB ensured participants’ safety with two separate waivers, said Shull, and a team from CWRU Emergency Medical Services (EMS) on hand for the whole event. Unsurprisingly for a sport where players are literally encased in a bubble, the EMS team went unused. “We tried to keep it really safe with the tables, so Men’s Basketball CWRU New York U.

that people can’t walk past unless we actually know that they’re gonna play soon,” added Shull, describing tables set up near the courts that blocked anyone from entering the play area without checking in.

For both UPB and participants the event was a roaring success. According to Shull, 375 students participated, well exceeding the expected turnout of 150-200. The event was fun too, as every participant interviewed said they would play again, with answers ranging from “definitely” (first-year student Patrick Do) to “absolutely” (secondyear student Ethan Cravener).

Every player was drenched in sweat afterward because, according to secondyear student Frank Percic it was very hot in the bubbles.

In addition to the high numbers, UPB reached new demographics. Around 80 percent of the participants were male and at least five fraternities had teams compete, which is unusual for UPB events. “A lot of the time we rely on freshmen to come to events,” said Shull.

Shull stated that they get freshmen to attend by getting professors to offer extra credit in large lecture classes. All four years were represented well, and extra credit was not needed for the event.

Bubble soccer may just be a fad, but at CWRU it provided undergraduates with sports 19to do on a lazy Saturday afsomething fun ternoon.
