Southwest Florida is taking a stand against gun violence through the March For Our Lives rally, which will be held in Naples and Fort Myers on March 24, the same day as the national march in Washington, D.C.
The march, which was organized by local students, will be hosted in Cambier Park in Naples on Saturday at8:30 a.m. Attendees are encouraged to wear orange in solidarity with the cause. In Fort Myers, the march will take place at Centennial Park at 12 p.m. So far, the March For Our Lives official Facebook page lists 398 participants.
March For Our Lives is a demonstration that stemmed as a response to the Parkland shooting on Feb. 14, where 17 students were killed. High schools and universities across the nation have participated in the rally, which aims to bring to bring attention to gun violence.
Campus Rec program offers students unique outdoor experiences By Caylee Weintraub Assistant News Editor @fgcueaglenews Billy Mercantel says the goal of the Outdoor Pursuits program is simple: “We want to offer students the opportunity to experience outdoor recreational activities they might otherwise never be able to experience.” Mercantel, who is the Assistant Director of the Outdoor Pursuits program, believes that helping students get outside, whether that’s by taking them canoeing down the Peace River or by skiing in the Appalachian Mountains, creates a foundation for a healthier lifestyle. “The bonds I see students form after they come back from a trip... there’s nothing like that,” Mercantel said in an interview. The Outdoor Pursuits program is a division of Campus Recreation. The program offers four to six trips every semester that any student can go on. Some trips are local, such as canoeing in Estero River or snorkeling in the Rainbow River. Other trips are out of state, like the three-day spring break backpacking trip in the Cheaha Forest of

Alabama or the five-day ski trip in West Virginia. The average cost of a trip varies depending on the location and the activity. In-state trips range in cost from ten to thirty-five dollars. Out of state trips are costlier. The backpacking expedition in Alabama over spring break cost one hundred dollars per person, while the five-day ski trip to West Virginia last year, which included ski instruction and equipment costs, totaled four hundred fifty dollars per person. Mercantel said that Outdoor Pursuits aims to keep every trip as affordable as possible. “A lot of outdoor trips have a high barrier of entry, or a high cost,” Mercantel said. “When you pay for an Outdoor Pursuits trip, everything except for food is included. So, if you were to go camping, all of the equipment— the tent, the cook stove, the transportation—is included in that.” Mercantel said no previous experience is necessary to go on the trips. Most trips are geared towards a beginner level, and if any trip required advanced experience, it would be noted in the trip description on the website.
In addition to trips, the Outdoor Pursuits program has a high and low ropes Eagle Challenge Course located at Buckingham Center.

The Eagle Challenge Course is free to any FGCU RSO or RSC. Students can reserve the Eagle Challenge Course by filling out the reservation request form on the
website. Mercantel said one of the biggest obstacles the Outdoor Pursuits program faces is participation. “I think people just don’t know about us,” Mercantel said. “But there are [many] benefits to going on outdoor trips.” “I’ve heard of Outdoor Pursuits and I would definitely go on a trip,” said FGCU Physical Therapy graduate student Kaylee Fichthorn. “I find it difficult to go on them because of my work schedule.” “I haven’t heard of Outdoor Pursuits, but I would love to go on one of those trips!” said Stephanie Gallindo, a sophomore biochemistry major. “Knowing there’s an established program that shares information on these trips at affordable prices makes me more interested because of the convenience. I feel like going on outdoor trips allow you to regenerate yourself.” Mercantel said all students need to do if they want to go on a trip is sign up on the Outdoor Pursuits website. “Everyone is welcome,” Mercantel said. “We want these trips to be as accessible as possible.”

What’s up with the Campus WiFi? By Sean Porter Staff Writer @Fgcueaglenews It’s 11:55 p.m. and an assignment is due at 11:59. A student is working on an assignment in the library for the past four hours. As soon as they try to submit the assignment via Canvas (a learning management system), it shuts down. Concerns over FGCU’s WiFi quality has caused a stir among students, even making its way onto Student Government platforms. Back in 1997, when the school opened, WiFi was not an issue. Over the last 10 years, however, with the boom of technology, WiFi has had to be installed all across campus, according to Sven Hahues, the Director of the Helpdesk and Network Services at FGCU and requires maintenance.
“We are working hard to update the equipment in housing (we redid all of Sovi last year and are redoing all of North Lake Village this summer), as well as working on campus,” said Hahues. “We are currently in the process of redoing Merwin and Lutgert Hall. We hope to have the new equipment up and running by the end of the semester.” Hahues said he’s seen a rising need for WiFi and in the past few years, the university has taken steps to improve the Internet quality, but there are still dead spots on campus that are a concern for students. Hahues suggests that students should use Ethernet connections, because WiFi is shared, and has to be shared with everyone using the same router. “Anyone who works on wireless will tell you that the wireless portion makes it susceptible to interference and it is not a
guaranteed service,” Hahues said. “Even if you have a roommate that uses their microwave and the microwave is between you and the access point, chances are pretty good that you will get disconnected.” “WiFi is a shared medium, meaning all users that are connected to one access point are sharing the service provided by it, said Hahues. “We take reasonable steps to prevent users from impacting other users on the access points, but in the end, if a bunch of people on one AP are all watching Netflix, the performance for everyone on the AP will suffer.” Concerns over the university’s WiFi has reached Student Government President Jalisa White. In response, White addressed these concerns in her 2018 platform, when she ran for a second term. “My team and I have looked into ways to make it better through BTS, AETS and
other avenues,” White said. “I have heard student concerns about the WiFi and will be looking more into it over next year.” White says she recognizes that some places have better reception for WiFi than others, and while some places on campus have been revisited and fixed, there are still others that lack reception. “Some dead spots include the Library Lawn, Cohen Center and a few others,” said White. “I’ve gotten some good feedback from hotspots in places like Sudgen Hall.” There are a few obstacles in the way of bettering WiFi across campus, but White says that her team is working on it. “It’s not an obstacle sharing these concerns and collaborating with administration and campus partners on fixing this issue,” White said. “It’s making sure our voice is heard and showing it’s a priority for our students.”

PA Special Election results are a bad sign for the GOP
AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar Supporters of Conor Lamb, the Democratic candidate for the March 13 special election in Pennsylvania’s 18th Congressional District hold signs during his election night party in Canonsburg, Pa., Wednesday, March 14, 2018. Rattled Republicans were hit with the reality check Wednesday in the startling strong performance of a fresh-faced Democrat deep in Trump country.
By Ryan Denson Staff Writer @RD3001 In 2016, then candidate Donald Trump won Pennsylvania’s 18th Congressional district by almost 20 points, trouncing Hillary Clinton in a must-win state that ultimately landed narrowly in his electoral margin. The 18th, which is considered an R+11 district (solidly Republican by political mathematical standards), has been represented by the GOP for over 15 years. This once Democratic district has become increasingly conservative as the years have gone on, abandoning the Obama years in favor for the populist Trump movement, despite having more registered Democrats than Republicans. It should have been a no-brainer that when the district’s incumbent, Tim Mur-
phy, resigned, Republicans would easily retain control just in time for the 2018 midterms in November. In a major upset, however, the increasingly Republican electorate came back home to the Democrats and elected prosecutor Conor Lamb over Republican state senator Rick Saccone. By a razor-thin 627 votes out of over 238,000 cast, Lamb pulled off one of the most significant upsets of the 2018 electoral cycle. Saccone, who touted himself as being “Trump before Trump was Trump,” was considered the frontrunner and racked up a laundry list of high-profile endorsements and surrogates including Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Mike Pence, Kellyanne Conway, Ivanka Trump, Congresswoman and Karen Handel, while Lamb was stumped for by former Vice
President Joe Biden. In the days preceding the election, the President and his inner circle stumped for Saccone in a rally held in Moon Township, a suburb of Allegheny County right outside of Pittsburg. But it was not enough to push Saccone over the finish line. So how did he pull off this amazing feat? The one thing Democrats are really, really bad at: turnout. Democrats turned out at 78.5 percent of the 2016 vote, whereas Republicans turned out at just 53 percent of 2016. The race, which went well into the night and early into the next morning, should be a huge wake up call to a fragmented and fragile GOP. Already facing a lag in generic congressional ballot polling, Republicans have been worried that their lack of accomplishments and President Trump’s low ap-
proval ratings will spell doom for their chances of keeping their majority in the House of Representatives. According to Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight, Democrats hold a nine-point advantage over Republicans in the midterm elections, signaling what could be a tsunami year for the Democrats, mirroring 2006. In the district Lamb flipped, Trump’s approval rating was split 49-49 Lamb’s victory no doubt has emboldened Democrats in their fight to retake the House, with the “enthusiasm gap” clearly rearing just in time for November. If Republicans even want to remain competitive, they must read the writing scribbled all over the wall. The fact that Democrats were able to nab a Trump + 20 district despite being outspent 2-1 by the incumbent party is monumental if you
consider that there are over 119 House districts that are more competitive than Pennsylvania’s 18th. Democrats need to win just 23 of those seats to take back the House. Republicans are already in a state of disarray over the loss. A week before the election, the RNC and its affiliated groups were labeling Lamb as a soft-on-crime, Nancy Pelosi-supporting liberal who bowed to sanctuary cities and turned his back on unions. The day after his historic upset, the RNC did a 180, brushingLamb off as a “Democrat masquerading as a Republican,” and claimed he “basically ran as a Republican.” With the Republicans whistling past the graveyard and failing to keep their story straight on why they just lost a reliably ruby-red seat, Democrats are plotting their next move, eyeing a multitude
of Republican--held seats that Clinton won in the 2016 election (23 in total, enough to retake the House, according to the website Daily Kos). If MAGA country can flip to the Democrats, imagine how vulnerable the Republican seats in Illinois, California, New York, New Jersey and Virginia must be. Conor Lamb was never supposed to win, yet he did. Trump’s last minute rally to rile up the base proved to be futile. Republicans did not run on their much-touted tax reform plan, the only significant piece of legislation they have passed during Trump’s term thus far. Republicans lack a message, and their unpopular president is weighing them down. Will Trump be the death knell of the House GOP come November? Tuesday’s election certainly points in that direction.

Eagles’ valiant effort comes up short
Photo courtesy of James Greco In the upsetting 90-70 loss to Stanford in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, China Dow led the way scoring all 23 of her team-high points in the second half as she led a trio of FGCU double-figure scorers along with 16 from Lisa Zderadicka (above) and 10 by Nasrin Ulel. Dow’s 23 points were aided by six 3-pointers, while Zderadicka made a season-high four.
By Matt Rothman Assistant Sports Editor @MattRothman3 Women’s basketball In the second round of the NCAA tournament, the FGCU women’s basketball team fell 90-70 to Stanford, but made the record books as they now own the singleseason record of the most three-pointers in a season, surpassing San Diego State’s record of 424, and finished with 431. It started early for Stanford and did not stop, as they scored a seasonhigh 33 points in the first quarter and a relatively poor three-point shooting average. The team shot
53 percent and scored a season-high 90 points in the win. “I thought Stanford was excellent today,” head coach Karl Smesko said. Their offensive ball movement, efficiency and execution was outstanding. It was better than our defense today. I thought a big part of the game was the first quarter. We had more defensive breakdowns than we had the whole game versus Missouri.” China Dow finished with a team-high 23 points and Lisa Zderadicka had 16 off the bench, including a season-high four threepointers. As a team, they shot 37 percent from the
field and made 17 of 42 three-pointers. Stanford completely controlled the boards, out rebounding the Eagles 5519 and Alana Smith had a game-high 28 points and Cardinal leading scorer Brittany McPhee had 17. “They were way bigger than Mizzou,” Dow said. “Our drives weren’t open, but we could have cut in penetration and do the right things when they did come over. That’s what we practiced, but I wish I could have grew overnight, but it didn’t work out that way.” It was a slow start for the Eagles as Stanford jumped out to a 7-0 lead as FGCU missed their first
three shots from the threepointer, forcing Smesko to call a time-out just 1:37 into the game. However, that would not last long as the Eagles hit five of their next seven triples, but the Cardinals shot 71 percent and out rebounded FGCU 16-2 in the first quarter and led 3317 after one quarter. The deficit grew to 18 at one point, but both Lisa Zderadicka and Nasrin Ulel kept the Eagles in striking distance cutting the lead to five and FGCU trailed by just eight at halftime despite Dow being held scoreless in the first half. Early in the second half, they broke the record with
two threes from Dow who got going and had ten points in the third quarter. The Cardinals continued to get second chances and dominate down low on the offensive side of the ball and at one time got four chances and finally hit a three late in the third to bring their lead back to 18. Dow did all she could do to keep FGCU in the game and the Eagles back within 10, but it was a 9-0 run with around five minutes to go. That would be too much for the Eagles to handle as they fell and finished another historic season at 31-5. “We knew if we lose we’re out, so we just knew we had to give it our all,”
Zderadicka said. “Just keep fighting and ty to make a run and cut it closer.” Unfortunately they were unable to and this ends up being the last game for five FGCU players, including sixth-year player Taylor Gradinjan. Seniors Jessica Cattani, Dow, Rosemarie Julien and Erica Nelson also played their last game. “It’s more than basketball when it time to your teammates,” Dow said. “We are basically like family. I spend more time with them than I do with my friends. It’s like dang, if I could have another year, I would take it even though it would be rough on him [Smesko].”

By Matt Rothman Assistant Sports Editor @MattRothman3 Beach volleyball In the first-ever beach volleyball match at the FGCU facility, the FGCU beach volleyball team defeated Tampa by a score of 4-1. “I thought this was a great opportunity to show off our campus for the first time,” head coach Matt Botsford said. “It means a lot to our staff and our players to see so many fans come by. I’m sure a lot of them have not seen beach volleyball before and what an opportunity.”
With only two courts available, the Eagles won four out of the five matches. Kaitlan Krivdo and Alayna Ryan won a threeset match to open the scoring with a 25-23, 19-21, 15-13 win over Nyla Demps and Marisa Beisner. FGCU quickly got two more wins and clinched the match following a 2112, 21-16 win from Karissa Rhoades and Katie Puisis. Minutes later, the reigning ASUN Players of the Week in Snowy Burnam and Kayla Whetstone dropped just 19 points in their match and cruised to a two-set win for their fourth of the season.
“I think we played really well today,” Whetstone said. “We had really good ball control, and it has been something we have really been working on and our connection is getting better every day we play. We work really well together being best friends. Winning with my best friend is awesome.” The lone loss came from Giovanna Borgiotti and Ashley Glickert in three sets, but the outcome was already in doubt as the Eagles moved to 5-2 on the season. FGCU will be back in action on Wednesday, March 21 at 4 p.m. playing against the Panthers at FIU.

Baseball series recap versus Rutgers
EN Photo / Lucas Trumble The FGCU baseball bench looks on in the Eagles 9-8 win over Rutgers to win the final game of a three-game series. FGCU scored the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning following a pair of errors on the final play of the game.
By Matt Rothman Assistant Sports Editor @MattRothman3 Baseball In FGCU’s weekend series against Rutgers, the FGCU baseball team lost two of three games but was able to get a much-needed come-from-behind win on Sunday.
“I don’t think anyone wants to be swept,” head coach Dave Tollett said. “You hear me say it all the time with our sweeps, they’re tough to come by. No one wants to get swept, it’s embarrassing, especially at home. We have to defend this Swanson a little bit.” On Friday night, it was a messy game for the Eagles
as they made four errors and blew a 6-2 lead and ultimately fell 12-9. Mario Leon made the start and allowed six runs, but only three were earned. FGCU had 11 hits after three innings and finished with 17, despite the loss. In the ninth, the Eagles loaded the bases and brought the tying run to the
plate but Gage Morey would strike out and Kohl Gilmore would ground into a gameending double play. “I think you score nine runs on a Friday night, you should win,” Tollett said. “We gave too many freebies on the mound and defensively.” A little over 12 hours later, FGCU was in a similar situation as they trailed by three runs in the bottom of the ninth and brought the tying run to the plate, but Gilmore would again ground out to end the game. Josh Dye suffered his first loss of the season despite his quality start of six innings and allowing
three runs. The lone bright spots offensively were Jay Hayes hitting his second home run of the season and Gilmore driving in two with a hit. “Rutgers plays with energy, and that’s one thing they do,” Tollett said. “My hat is off to them. They play hard.” The final game on Sunday started out well for FGCU, but Rutgers put up a seven-run sixth inning to erase a 3-1 deficit and take an 8-3 lead. The Eagles, though, scored five runs in the seventh inning to tie the game and win after a pair of errors from the Scarlet
Knights in a 9-8 win. Evan Lumbert started out strong but finished allowing eight runs. Jay Hayes drove in three of the five runs in the seventh inning with a bases-loaded double, and Kenton Herring pitched two scoreless innings to get the win. “That was a gutsy performance from our team,” Hayes said. ”We don’t like to get swept. We take pride at playing here in Swanson. Any chance we get to go get a win, we do it.” Following their game against FIU on Tuesday, FGCU will return home for a weekend series.

Golf wins first tournament since 2008
Photo courtesy of Sarah Trew The Eagles celebrate at the Red Tail Golf Club in Sorrento, Florida after winning the MSU Citrus Classic. This was the first time since 2008 that FGCU women’s golf won an outright tournament and were led by Kate Williamson.
By Patrick Clines Staff Writer @PatClines Women’s Golf The FGCU women’s golf team wrapped up a shortened round game as they claimed first place out of 14 teams in the Morehead State Citrus Classic in Sorrento, Florida. “I am ecstatic about our play this week,” FGCU head coach Sarah Trew said after the tournament’s final round was called due to bad weather. “This tournament, we really stuck to our process
goals and functioned well as a cohesive unit. We played very consistently throughout the tournament. All of our rounds were very strong across the board.” All six Eagles finished in the top 25 of the tournament as a team and individually. It was sophomore Kate Williamson’s performance that helped the Eagles remain in first place. Williamson, who entered day two tied for fifth place, was able to finish tied for second place with four others. The Deerfield Beach
native would finished +4 with an overall score of 148 (74-74). With a 74 in each of her two rounds, Williamson was five strokes shy of Michaela Fabiankova of Keiser University in first place. It was her best finish and the third sub-75 score for her this year. Junior Kelsy Holbert and freshman Natalia Nassar would finish tied for sixth and ninth respectively. Holbert, who began tied for 11th, would finish with a +5 and an overall score of 149 (76-73) while Nassar, who began tied for first place, finished
with a +6 and a score of 150 (76-73). Junior Madeline MarckSherk began tied for 20th, but was able to finish tied for 12th with a +9 and an overall score of 153 (78-75). Senior Madison Easterbrook began tied for 11th before finishing tied for 19th with a +10 and an overall score of 154 (76-78). Sophomore Alisa Clark represented the Eagles as an individual as she finished tied for 12th with a +9 and an overall score of 153 (8073). This was the Eagles’ first outright tournament
championship since the SIU Spring Lake Invitational in 2008. The most recent share of a first place finish came on Sept. 16, 2013 when the Eagles tied for first in the FGCU Eagles Invitational with Barry University. The Eagles have now finished fifth or better in five out of seven tournaments since the start of the fall season, including four straight. “We had a lot of distractions that could have derailed us, Trew added. {Monday} we came off the course a couple times. As
the conditions got tougher, so did we. I don’t think we did anything flashy but just hung tough and came away with the W. I am very proud of Kate for her top three finish. She was so solid for us. We are excited about getting back out there again this weekend in Georgia.” FGCU will return to action on Mar. 25-27 in the John Kirk Panther Invitational. The threeday event will be hosted by Georgia State University in Stockbridge, Georgia after the Eagles finished in fifth palce a season ago in the same tournamemt.
Men’s Tennis Clips Illinois State 4-3 By Patrick Clines Staff Writer @PatClines Men’s tennis After falling to Grand Canyon, the FGCU men’s tennis team (5-8) bounced back with a 4-3 win over visiting Illinois State (9-5). “We’ve got a tough schedule this year, so we’re not having any pushover matches,” said FGCU head coach CJ Weber. “We’ve lost some close matches already this season, but we’ve tried
to just not allow that to affect us and who we are. I was proud of the guys to come through after a tough loss yesterday.” Beginning with doubles, the duo of juniors Ezequiel Cerrini and Mateo Ruiz defeated senior Andreas Boers and Pol Botifoll Ruis 6-4 on No. 2 doubles. The duo of senior Austin Bates and sophomore Felipe Ramirez defeated junior Egehan Sertkaya and freshman Cameron Petersen in No.
3 doubles, securing the doubles point for FGCU. The duo of senior Oliver Landert and sophomore Marcelo Tebet were ahead 5-3 over junior Igor Kolaric and senior Christoffer Greve but did not finish as the Eagles had secured the point. Going into singles, the Redbirds tied the score after Ramirez fell 2-6, 0-6 to Kolaric before junior Javier Fernandez secured freshman Manuel Bernhard 7-6, 6-3 to give the Eagles a
2-1 lead. The Redbirds retied the score after Tebet fell 6-7, 3-6 but Cerrini would bring the Eagles’ lead back with a 6-4, 7-6 win over Sertkaya. “I’m certainly excited. It’s been a tough year so far,” said Cerrini. “I’m super excited for my first win of the year, and I am happy to have pulled through because it was a lot tougher in the end than I expected, sort of like my bad results sort of got to me a little bit, and I was happy
I was strong enough to pull through.” Ruiz was the player that got the Eagles the win as the Bucaramanga, Colombia native defeated Ruis 6-2, 2-6, 6-2. Landert fell in the final match as losing 6-2, 6-7, 5-7 to Greve. “I think the good thing about our team is that we have a deep team,” Cerrini added. “Anybody can play any position. That also helps you a little bit because I know my teammates can
move up if I move down, and I mean it’s good to move down and feel a little bit less pressure and try to get my game back.” The Eagles will return to action on Mar. 25 as they host Princeton at 5 p.m. Following the game against Princeton, the Eagles will continue its conference play on the road against Lipscomb and Kennesaw State beginning Thursday, Mar. 29 in Nashville against the Bisons.

Socrates Cafe gets students thinking
CC Photo/Ryo Katsuma We’re familiar with Starbucks as a cafe, but the Socrates Cafe brings on a whole new meaning of the word at FGCU.
By Trinia Oliver Contributing Writer @fgcueaglenews We know there are facts, and then there are alternative facts. What are these alternative facts—but wait, what exactly are facts? Those were the questions asked last Wednesday in Socrates Café to introduce to the topic involving the difference between “facts” and “alternative facts,” the latter term rising in popularity during the 2016 presidential election. The FGCU Philosophy Club hosted guest speaker Christopher Philips, who spoke to the crowd. Now the topic of philosophy may seem uninteresting or intimidating to some. Others might even find the topic terrifying, or see it as something that requires too much thinking. But while the Café includes philosophical
topics in discussion, the Café’s purpose is quite the opposite of those assumptions. “Socrates Café is a place — and it can be any place — but its purpose is for people to get together in a more formal setting and talk about questions that are both timely and timeless, with the idea that nobody has complete monopoly on what the one true answer is, or what the absolute truth is.,” Phillips, the founder of the group, explained after the Café meeting on Wednesday. “The purpose of Socrates Café is to learn from the stories and wisdom from other people — whether they have been to school or not, whether they are 2 years old, 12 years old, or 102 — that we all have something unique we can lend and contribute to a conversation.” Phillips created Socrates Café back in 1996, and has been holding
groups about it ever since. The non-profit has gained and created hundreds of groups that model after his style. “We have them in Mumbai, India; in Tokyo; all over Florida, though there are still more in the U.S. than anywhere else,” he says. “But there are so many! I never dreamed that would have happened!” Although Socrates Café was initially intended for a community he once resided in, to this day, Phillips’ influence has touched a chord with people in every type of community imaginable —conservative, aggressive, Left, Right, religious, non-religious — and he has even visited prisons, indigenous groups, homeless shelters and nursing homes. Philips said there is a common gratitude, enjoyment and appreciation gained for their own different reasons from all
the world and each other in a similar light — that if people were to hear each other’s stories and history, that it could make all the difference in the world. The excuse of having some type of question to explore has been the way to do so and touch on this matter. And Phillips wishes that if people could step back and look at the bigger picture, they could create connections, and hopefully one day help bridge human divides. Phillips dreams that the future will continue to be bright for Socrates Café. He hopes that the Café will continue to find a variety of homes, but he does not oppose it from being added to a university. In fact, this method, and others identicalto it, are currently being used in schools. When questioned about having a personal protégé, Phillips answers, “yes — it’s for people your age. I’m hoping to get people
those who have attended. “I like it that it’s not about arguing,” Phillpis said. “It’s about exploration and inquiry, so we do away with arguing. It’s not about ‘I’m right and he was wrong and here’s why’.” So, such questions similar to, “should we be in war in Iraq or Afghanistan?” would not be asked. Instead, it would be replaced with ones in favor of, “what is a just war? And what is your philosophy with a just war?” The Café’s atmosphere is described as a classroom without walls where people engage within the human theme, where the ideology is that people have more in common than they don’t, and that it is dealt as a plus instead of a minus that each individual sees things differently. Though this doesn’t always happen, Phillips admits and laughs, he hopes that Socrates Café will influence others to look at
your age to come forward… But it’s really up to your generation.” And as a husband and father along with having been committed to Socrates Café for over 20 years, Philps also said that he has personal motives in helping to make the world a better place. “I do it for my kids. Why [settle down and] have a family if you’re not going to make it a more better, livable, and lovable world in a time when there’s so much hate?” Christopher Phillips is also the author of several books including “Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy,” “Child At Heart,” and two children’s books including “Ceci Ann’s Day of Why” and “The Philosophers’ Club.” He also has a PhD, three Master’s degrees and a benevolent personality, but is ultimately a “husband and father most of all.”
DIY: Spring Decor & Treats Spring into warm weather with some light and fun do-it-yourselfs By Deanna Simmons E&L Editor @lvnarvinam Spring is upon us and as the cold finally comes to a close, it’s time to bring out the spring decorations. Goodbye weeks of chilly weather and hello sunshine. With the season of spring, there’s a few wonderful things you can do and make. The first thing that you can make is a flower basket. It can hang on the wall, sit on your table, or be a gift to a family member or significant other. You’ll need a basket, fresh-cut flowers, and twine. The best to get are daisies and light-colored roses, especially for the season. If possible, you can get a bunch of store-bought flowers that look more like wildflowers. Cut the stems to fit the basket and then put them in using twine to hang
the basket or make a bow on the basket that you already have. The second thing you can make is a batch of white velvet cookies which you can frost and cut into flowers along with any other spring shape that you’d like. For this recipe, you’ll need two cups of softened butter, an eight-ounce package of softened cream cheese, two cups of granulated sugar, two large egg yolks, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, four and three-fourths cups of all-purpose flour, onefourth teaspoon of salt, and whatever frosting you might want on your cookies. First, combine the butter and cream cheese in a mixing bowl, blending for two to three minutes until the mixture is fluffy. Once done, add the sugar, egg yolks and vanilla and mix for two minutes. After, add the
flour and salt and mix until it’s combined. Your next step will be to spread the dough into a rectangle on a sheet of plastic wrap and cover, refrigerating for at least two hours. Once that’s done, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. You then line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the dough out and use cookie cutters or a butter knife to shape the dough the way that you want. Bake for ten to twelve minutes and allow to cool completely after. Once cool, frost. The last recipe is a strawberry icebox cake. For this, you’ll need a nineteen ounce box of graham crackers, two pounds of fresh strawberries, three and one-half cups of heavy cream, a sliced banana, onehalf cup of powdered sugar, two teaspoons of vanilla,
and one-fourth teaspoon of salt. To start, cream the powdered sugar, vanilla and salt together along with the heavy cream in a bowl. Beat the mixture until peaks start to form. Once done, spread a layer of the heavy cream mix into a pan to coat the bottom. Next, layer the graham crackers across the pan’s center and make sure to have them fit around the top and bottom edges. Then, spread a layer of heavy cream over the crackers and top it off with sliced strawberries. Layer accordingly and repeat with bananas, repeating until you reach the top of the pan. Refrigerate for four hours or until the crackers have softened completely, and serve chilled.
