‘Social entrepreneurs’ Four FGCU students to compete in Hult Prize competition
SENATE BILLS Second Reading: •
Senate Bill #1718-038 Student Worker training: Not Passed.

First Reading: • •
By Alexandra Figares News Editor @fgcueaglenews Four FGCU students, Andrew Morgan, Trent Capaccio, Kenneth Horning and Richard Martin will compete against 75 to 100 teams from around the world in Boston, Massachusetts for the Hult Prize competition on March 9 and 10. The Hult Prize is an annual competition that crowd sources ideas from college students on social issues like education, hunger and water access. The competitors’ end goal is to “Harness the power of energy to change 10 million lives”. The group created a solar powered purification system that takes the energy from the sun and distills water without the use of fossil fuels. Morgan says he hopes the product will be implemented in areas around the world with limited water access. “We are social entrepreneurs,” Morgan said. “We haven’t experienced this problem because of where we were born and raised, but we can still see the problem and he have decided to fix it.” In addition to the product,

Morgan and his team created a movement called the 4 Gallon Challenge. On Thursday, Feb. 15 at 3:00 p.m., students can gather in front of the Lutgert fountain and walk to the emergent technologies institute building carrying four gallons of water on their backs. The goal of the movement is to
help those who are in desperate need rather than just creating a product that someone will just break after a year of using and then thrown away,” Morgan said. “We have come up with something that people need every day and won’t break for year.” On average, African women walk about 4 hours or 3.5 miles every day to collect water, Morgan said. “The business has definitely killed my social life,” Morgan said.
“But it has truly had a positive effect on me because now I know the stress and heartache that goes along with starting something from nothing and I believe that it will help me personally in the future. I have gained great friends in the process, great mentors, and even better teammates.” Morgan says the team’s business goals is to reach 10 million people around the world.

FGCU to start first football club By Sean Porter Contributing Writer @fgcueaglenews Marching bands. Pregame tailgating. Post-game parties. The smell of burned hamburgers. A football team. If you looked at FGCU athletics in 2012, you would think of football as a far-fetched idea. This past August, two FGCU students pushed to establish the university’s first football club in hopes of joining the National Collegiate Athletic Association, a non-profit organization which regulates athletes and sports teams all over the nation, in the future.
Four months have passed since the initial idea, and a bill passed by Student Government is pushing the club forward.
Center one day and had hear some people alking about how they wished FGCU had a football team,” Landers said.
M a t t h e w Landers, head coach and founder of the club, said he saw club football as an opportunity for the sport to get its roots into FGCU. “I was sitting in the Cohen
“A f t e r hearing that same phrase for five years and wishing the same thing I decided to see what it would take to have one.” FGCU commissioned a study in 2011 and decided against
starting an NCAA football team when it found the university would need to spend about $90 million on a stadium - among other things - the News-Press said. The idea of bringing anything football to campus was largely left alone until recently, when Student Government passed a $30,000 bill on Jan. 23 to propel the football club forward. The money will be used to buy equipment like helmets and shoulder pads, but the overall costs for establishing an NCAA recognized team is much larger.

The window of the elevator in Garage B was broken on Feb. 10, around 2:55 p.m. Officers reviewed camera footage and determined the window was
UPD officers stopped a car near Holmes Hall for a traffic violation on Feb. 10. After the officers stopped the car, the individual inside jumped out and ran towards a construction site area nearby. The individual opened the gate of the construction and went into a Port-aPotty. The individual was cited for trespassing in a construction site as well
as a citation for parking in a handicap spot. The individual was reported to be argumentative throughout the encounter. During a patrol of North Lake Village, UPD officers saw a vehicle in between Buildings Q and R in an area that had been closed off previously with cones and “no parking” tape. Upon closer investigation, officers noticed the vehicle had driven over the cones
White House, FBI differ in accounts of investigation of aide By Deb Riechmann and Zeke Miller WASHINGTON (AP) — Contradicting the White House, the FBI said it gave the Trump administration information on multiple occasions last year about a top aide accused of domestic abuse by his two ex-wives, and the investigation wrapped up in January. That account by FBI Director Christopher Wray challenged the White House assertion that Rob Porter’s background “investigation was ongoing” and officials first learned the extent of accusations against him only last week, just before he abruptly resigned. Wray’s testimony on Tuesday marked the latest development in a scandal that has called into question the judgment of senior members of the White House staff, put new stress on the administration’s already strained credibility with the public, and drawn accusations of tone-deaf handling of abuse allegations. The weeklong fallout from the allegations against Porter, President Donald Trump’s staff secretary, has thrown the West Wing into chaos not seen since the earliest months of the administration and has sparked new rounds of recriminations inside the White House. Privately, officials acknowledge that the public timeline offered last week — that the administration first learned of the exwives’ charges against Porter last Tuesday — was flawed at best. Several senior officials, including chief of staff John Kelly and White House counsel Don McGahn, were aware of the broad allegations against Porter for months, officials said. Kelly found out after requesting an update on the large number of senior staffers operating without full security clearances, according to a senior
administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal discussions. McGahn told Kelly last fall there was concern about information in the background investigation involving Porter’s ex-wives, the official said, and Kelly expressed surprise that Porter had previously been married. Despite that, Porter took on an increasingly central role in the West Wing and was under consideration to serve as Trump’s deputy chief of staff, two officials said. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters Monday, “The White House had not received any specific papers regarding the completion of that background check.” Yet Wray testified that the FBI sent the White House its preliminary report in March 2017 and its completed investigation in late July. Soon after that, the agency received a request for a follow-up inquiry, and it provided that information in November. Porter was interviewed about the allegations in September, an official said. “And then we administratively closed the file in January, and then earlier this month we received some additional information and we passed that on as well,” Wray added in his congressional testimony Tuesday, without elaboration. The FBI does not make recommendations about whether to grant or deny a security clearance, officials said, leaving the determination up to the employee’s agency, in Porter’s case, the White House. Sanders maintained Tuesday that her statement about an ongoing investigation was accurate because Porter’s clearance hadn’t received a final sign-off from the White House Office of Personnel Security. “We find those statements to be consistent with one another,” she said.

Student from George Washington University says Thornhill’s “White Racism” class should be offered across colleges and universities in the U.S. General biology, introduction to sociology, and introduction to American studies comprise just a fraction of the college courses that undergraduate students at accredited colleges and universities register for each semester. “White Racism” is not a class that would appear among the introductory courses succeeded by the qualitative suffix, “101” in the Spring 2018 course catalog at FGCU, but perhaps it should, given the widespread social ignorance that surrounds the course’s content. A course newly offered by FGCU’s Sociology Department, “White Racism” examines “ideologies, laws, policies and practices that have established a system in which non-white people are racially dominated by white people,” according to the course instructor, associate professor, Ted Thornhill. The 50-person class facilitates its study of “colorblind” racism and racial microaggressions in weekly lectures, class discussions, “interactive dialogue, and situational observations” that prompt students to first observe a scenario of such racism, and to then determine and discuss the presence of racism in the given example. “Brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral and environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate
hostile, derogatory, or negative racial slights and insults to the target person or group,” racial microaggressions are deeply ingrained in the landscape of contemporary language. “I’m not a racist, I have several Black friends,” “I don’t see color,” and “We are all human beings” are racial microaggressions that commonly surface in everyday conversation, their insensitive implications often unbeknownst to the speaker that verbalizes the microaggression. Racial microaggressions are, by and large, unintentional. Indeed, “Most White Americans experience themselves as good, moral, and decent human beings who believe in equality and democracy. Thus, they find it difficult to believe that they possess biased racial attitudes and may engage in behaviors that are discriminatory,” write a group of researchers from Columbia University’s Teacher’s College in “Racial Microaggressions in Everyday Life.” It is for this very reason, the inability to acknowledge and to recognize one’s own racial biases, that the potency of an errant racial microaggression is invisible to the speaker. The Columbia University Teacher’s College researchers note that “Social psychological research tends to confirm the existence of unconscious racial biases in well-inten-
tioned Whites.” Phrased differently, “…nearly everyone born and raised in the United States inherits the racial biases of the society.” Reworded again, people are—as the expression goes—products of their [social] environment. Offered for the first time at FGCU, “White Racism” is an academic means of bridging an educational gap between modern racial identity and social behavior. “White Racism” strides into the territory of the possible: the possibility of making unconscious racial biases conscious, of making visible the racism that is disguised in the racial microaggressions that populate discursive exchanges, through a curriculum that delves beyond obvious black and white racism to instead embrace the shrouded as a site of explorative analysis. “This course isn’t based on this idea that overt racial bigotry is the principal type of racism constraining the life chances of Black folks and other folks of color,” Thornhill said. “The essence of the course is based on the fact that we live in a white supremacist society—one based on a racial stratification system where whites are positioned in the most favorable locations within the strata, and folks of color are differently positioned below them, and by virtue of their location, they are afforded

different opportunities and resources and life chances relative to whites.” White Racism” is academically representative in that it is a course that should be offered across colleges and universities in the U.S., certainly—and at the very least—as an elective, if not as a required course. The time that one bides as an undergraduate student at a higher education institution is finite: while college degrees are now seldom earned in the traditionally prescribed four-year
window, study at a college or university is nonetheless limited, and the opportunities for intellectual and perceptual expansion that follow graduation from a degree program are increasingly so. While graduates may, of course, elect to pursue an advanced degree, many will not. The graduate that does matriculate to a graduate program will remain unlikely to register for a class similar to that of Thornhill’s unless the advanced degree sought is one of a sociolog-
ical or ethnic studies bent. The undergraduate context thus finds weighted upon its academic shoulders the responsibility to offer a class such as Thornhill’s, the kind of perceptively and culturally eye-opening and expanding course for which there is no equivalent post-graduation because there is no equivalent, post-graduation. - Rachel Narozniak George Washington University
Joy is more than a memory By Sydney Van Dreason Assistant Opinion Editor @sydney_0815 Dr. Seuss once said, “Sometimes you will never know the value of something until it becomes a memory.” When people read this quote, they could could interpret it as a death of a loved one or maybe an old friend that you’ve disconnected with over the years. When I read it though, I think of joy. A common misconception is that joy is a synonym for happiness, but the two actually serve to affect one another. Every day, people experience happiness, pleasure and love. But joy comes after all of that. Joy comes when you reflect on the people you were with, the emotions that you shared together and the events that you experienced. Joy comes when you remember all of this and then realize that you want it again. The thing is, there’s no way to fully recreate a moment in order to find that joy again. Joy sneaks up on you and surprises you, probably in times when you don’t expect to feel something more powerful than happiness. Joy lives in your memories of people and events, not in the result of an actual search. While there may not be an
actual guarantee to experiencing joy, there are ways that we can stimulate the transition from happiness to joy. When embarking on this journey, there are several keys that can open doors to joy. Some of the keys that can be used in everyday life is turning off and stepping away from phones and computers, surrounding yourself with great friends and taking some time to meditate and reflect on anxiety and stress. Joy stems from happiness usually, but it can also come from generosity, love and even sadness. Especially with Valentine’s Day here, finding joy doesn’t necessarily have to come from loving a significant other. Expressing love between friends and family, and even rediscovering your love for yourself can bring you great feelings of joy. Ever since the New Year began, I have witnessed many people undertake a resolution to love themselves more and focus on their lives, anxieties and goals. We are usually the root of our suffering and pain, and when we experience pain, we become more focused on that and tend to forget about joy. If we’re not careful, pain and suffering can overtake our lives, and we will lose the value of joy until it becomes even less than a Mickey and Donald take over Disney along with Sydney and her family. To Sydney, it’s the best place to find joy memory.

Softball begins 4-0 in Kickoff Classic
The FGCU softball team began its season hosting the FGCU Kickoff Classic. The Eagles went undefeated in the tournament going 4-0 with victories over LIU-Brooklyn, NC State, Georgetown and Ball State.
By Patrick Clines Staff Writer @PatClines Softball The FGCU softball team ended up 4-0 as they defeated LIU-Brooklyn, NC State, Georgetown and Ball State in the FGCU Kickoff Classic to open their season. “It’s just a great weekend”, said head coach Dave Deiros. “We won the tournament. We’re the only undefeated team, so that is a great job by our team and we won them in a bunch of different facets. Just fabulous all around and
we’ll be ready to go out and face USF on Wednesday,” The opening game of the tournament for FGCU started on Thursday against LIU-Brooklyn. Despite six errors, the Eagles ended up winning 9-6 to open the tournament. With the win, the Eagles are 11-2 overall against the Blackbirds. The players that had strong performances offensively against LIUBrooklyn came from the debuting junior Brooke Clemens and senior Brittany McGuire. Clemens, who
transferred from Florida, went 2-3 with a towering three-run homer in the third inning while McGuire was 3-3 with a double and two RBIs. The Blackbirds would take the lead briefly until the bottom of the sixth. Senior Natalie Lopez, who went 2-2 in the game, brought the Eagles back in the lead with a single and a Blackbird throwing error before McGuire and senior Lulu Newmark hit back-to-back RBI singles as insurance runs. Sophomore Morgan White was the starter for
the opening game. She ended up with a no-decision after throwing 4.2 innings and giving up two unearned runs while walking one batter and striking out another. Freshman Marissa Mesiemore would get the win for the Eagles after giving up four runs (one earned) on three hits in two innings. Freshman Taylor Bauman would get the save after throwing one scoreless inning. Day two On day two of the tournament, the Eagles
managed to fend off Power Five Conference team NC State by a score of 7-2. The Eagles are now 1-1 against the Wolfpack. The Eagles scored first in the third after McGuire hit a bases loaded tworun single. Senior Ashley Swiderski would follow with an RBI single. By the fifth inning, Swiderski would hit an RBI triple. Senior Kelsey Huff would hit an RBI single in the sixth inning to extend the Eagles’ lead. Afterwards, freshman Farley Callaghan, who

walked in a previous plate appearance, followed with her first collegiate home run before Clemens brought the final run with an RBI single. Mesiemore, who was the starter for the game, earned her second win of the season after giving up two unearned runs on seven hits in 5.1 innings while walking four batters and striking out four.

By Matt Rothman Assistant Sports Editor @MattRothman3 Men’s golf Back in action for the first time since Oct. 2017, the FGCU men’s golf team started the spring season off strong with a win at the Inaugural Randy Grimes Memorial Shootout at the Jack Nicolas-designed Corkscrew Golf Club. During the 36-hole tournament on Sunday, the Eagles as a team shot +26 for a total of 602. That was five strokes better than in-state rivals Jacksonville and FAU. Stetson finished in third and FGCU’s B-team
rounded out the top five. “I’m really proud of the guys,” said head coach Eric Booker. “We’ve been working on some new, creative things this offseason and it’s great to see the improvement right away. It’s a good start to our spring season and hopefully we can keep it going.” Individually, Grant Reneger had the top score for the Eagles and finished in second. He was one of two FGCU golfers to have a round under par as he and Cole Castro both shot a 71 in round two. Castro ended up finishing tied for third at +5. Andrew Potter and Michael
Keymont finished tied for eighth and 11th respectively and were just two of the many golfers who had much better second rounds as they both shot a 75 with the wind settling down a bit as the day went on. On the B-team, Doug Smith tied with Potter as they both finished at 153. DJ Griffiths and Robert Rennet both finished in the top 15. The Eagles will see Stetson among another teams in the Legacy Club at Alaqua Lakes in Longwood, Florida for a two-day tournament starting with 36 holes on Feb. 26, followed the next day with the final round on Feb. 27.

Cattani leads team to dominant victory
EN Photo / Brad Young In the Eagles 89-43 win over NJIT, Jessica Cattani had a dominant performance finishing 6-for-8 from 3-point range for 18 points while adding four rebounds, two assists and a steal to lead the team.
By Matt Rothman Assistant Sports Editor @MattRothman3 Women’s basketball Getting closer and closer to securing the ASUN regular season championship and top seed in the ASUN tournament, the FGCU women’s
basketball team dominated NJIT for the second straight time this season with a 89-43 win on the road. The last time the two teams met was in Fort Myers where FGCU secured a 90-66 win. This was all to familiar for the Eagles as they shot 44
threes compared to the previous 40. However, this time the Eagles made 17 of them with six coming from Jessica Cattani. It was a career high for the redshirt senior in three-pointers made as she scored 18 to lead all scorers. Rosemarie Julien scored 17, China Dow scored 15.
They had two other double figure scorers in Tytionia Adderly, who had 11, and Chandler Ryan who had 10 in 13 minutes of action. For NJIT, Ellyn Stroll had 13 despite the team shooting 29 percent from the field and were outrebounded 43-27 to the Eagles who did not have a single player in the game at six-feet or taller. “We like to stretch the floor,” head coach Karl Smesko said. “We have a lot of good shooters that we space the floor with and it creates driving lanes for our attacker, so it is good to see so many people knock down threes today.”
In the first half, the nation’s leading threepoint shooting team in attempts showed why as they attempted 21 threes and knocked down a third of them with Julien, Cattani, and Dow all hitting a pair. Despite NJIT knocking down six of their first 10 shots in the opening quarter, the Eagles held the Highlanders to 24 points as FGCU doubled them up with 48. Tytionia Adderly had 11 of her 16 rebounds in the first half and registered her 13th double-digit rebounding game of the season. The second half was
much of the same as FGCU continued to fire up threes and were able to rest their starters for most of the second half with a huge lead. The Eagles had threepoint shots made from seven of the 12 players to appear in the game. FGCU will return home for their final home stand of the season with games against Lipscomb and Kennesaw State, with the first coming on Saturday at 4 p.m. versus the Bisons. Should the Eagles win both those games, they will clinch the top seed and have the opportunity to have the ASUN tournament run through Fort Myers.

What does your bouquet say?
AP Photos / Dolores Ochoa
Red roses signify love, and other colors have their own separate meanings.
By Deanna Simmons E&L Editor @lvnarvinam When you buy a bouquet, you don’t think that there are actual meanings to the flowers that you’re picking out. The Victorian era was the beginning of what was called “floriography,” when messages used to be dictated to people by the flowers they might be wearing on their lapel. Even today, flowers have a huge significance to weddings and many special events. If you want to confess your feelings to someone, buying flowers is the way to do it. You can also figure out if your sweetheart may have feelings for you by what flowers they buy for you. Roses are universally known
Theme: Coffee-house love Curated by: Deanna Simmons
as the language of love, with red signifying deep feelings of love. White means innocence, orange means passion, yellow means friendship and pink shows gentle emotions like gratitude. Though if someone gets you a lot of different roses, it usually means that they don’t know what they feel about you, but they really wanted to give you roses. Another common flower that’s usually picked with roses are daisies and “baby’s breath”. Daisies mean innocence and purity, as well as loyal love. Baby’s breath symbolizes everlasting love, purity, and innocence. So combined with love, innocence, and purity, you have a very warm message in your bouquet. There are plenty of other flowers that you might get, but
some common ones around Valentine’s Day might be hydrangeas, peonies, sunflowers, and tulips. Hydrangeas are usually used in weddings and have a very warm message of heartfelt emotion. They can be used to show gratitude. Peonies mean bashfulness and compassion and usually symbolize a happy life, marriage, health and prosperity. Sunflowers mean pure thoughts, adoration, dedication, or dedicated love. Tulips are a declaration of love for someone, as well as for fame or a perfect love. This Valentine’s Day, treat your sweetheart to a bouquet and show your feelings to them in a meaningful way with some flowers. They’ll definitely appreciate the sentiment.

DIY: Valentine’s Festive Meals Treat your sweetheart to a nice homemade meal
By Deanna Simmons E&L Editor @lvnarvinam
Valentine’s Day is meant to be enjoyed with your significant other and taking the time to show them you love them, thus treating them to something special. What better way to do that than to make special meals that all revolve around the day? Sure, it might be a little cheesy. There should be an exception made on Valentine’s Day, however.. I have four recipes for you for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. You may just learn some new techniques, too! The first recipe is Sweetheart Cinnamon Rolls. For this, you’ll need one thirteen-ounce refrigerated Grands Cinnamon Roll pack with icing and sprinkles. Simple and easy, this will make a great breakfast to surprise your sweetheart with. First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a nine-inch round cake pan
with non-stick cooking spray. I recommend PAM, but whatever you find works, too. Unwind the rolls into a strip of dough, but leave the center coiled. Next, coil the unrolled end toward the center and make two equal coils and pull the middle of the strip down to make a point and form a heart. Once finished, pinch the point and place in the pan. Make sure the points are pointing toward the center. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until brown, but be sure to keep an eye on them! Let them cool for five minutes before putting them on a cooling rack, icing them, and adding sprinkles. The second meal is heart quesadillas. These are really quick and easy to make if you’re wanting to do something in a small amount of time. What you’ll need are flour tortillas, shredded cheese, and heart shaped cookie cutters. Firstly, cut the tortillas into hearts. Sprinkle the cheese onto one of the tortillas. Make sure to keep
the cheese in the center since it will melt outwards and spread. Place the second heart tortilla on top of that. Cook them over a medium heat for one to two minutes and serve while it’s still warm! The third meal is pan seared sirloin steak. Preparing steak is a skill that you can learn, and you’ll definitely impress your friends. You’ll need two sirloin steak medallions or a one- or two-inch thick filet, one-half teaspoon of divided kosher salt, two to three cloves of peeled garlic, four tablespoons of divided unsalted butter, and a sprig of fresh thyme. Firstly, set a pan over medium to high heat to get it extremely hot until you’re ready to sear. While it heats, season the steaks with one-eighth teaspoon of salt and one-eighth teaspoon of black pepper on both sides. Peel the garlic and keep it with the steaks along with four tablespoons of butter and thyme. Once the skillet is hot, add the two tablespoons
of butter and immediately place the steaks in the skillet. Start a timer to make sure they don’t overcook. Allow them to sear for four minutes and then turn them over. Add two more tablespoons of butter, garlic cloves and thyme, allowing the steaks to sear for four more minutes. Make sure to check the internal temperature with a thermometer, making sure it’s at least 120 degrees or higher depending on how you like your steak. Once the four minutes are over, move the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for ten minutes. The last recipe is for a cute dessert to make, and it’s sugar cookie bars. These are a perfect sweet alternative to chocolate. What you’ll need is one cup of butter, two cups of sugar, four eggs, two teaspoons of vanilla, five cups of flour, one-half teaspoon of baking soda, buttercream frosting, Valentine’s Day sprinkles, red and pink food coloring,
a cookie sheet, and parchment paper. First, cream the butter and the sugar together, adding the eggs and vanilla to the mix afterward. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix. Once finished, spread onto the cookie sheet covered in parchment paper and bake at 375 degrees. The dessert should be ready in 10 to 15 minutes. Make sure not to overbake them. Let
them cool and frost with the buttercream frosting. You can add the food coloring to the frosting to make them different colors. To finish it off, add the Valentine’s Day sprinkles. I hope you have a safe Valentine’s Day. Tag us @eaglenews on Instagram to show us your creations!
