Emory Ranks 14th For ‘Best Value’

Harris No Longer Employed By Emory

By Stephen Fowler Staff Writer

Administrator Was Named in Lawsuit

Emory was ranked No. 14 for “Best Value” in the 2013-2014

Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine list of 100 top private universities in the country. This year is Emory’s eighth consecutive year in the top 15 of the list. Emory has been rated as high as No. 9 in 2009, according to Kiplinger’s website. Emory also ranked 17th in the average amount of need-based financial aid given — at $33,833 — and eighth in non-need-based aid at $21,047. “This is evidence of Emory’s continued commitment to aid, accessibility and affordability,” Dean Bentley, director of financial aid, wrote in an email to the Wheel. The designation of “Best Value” combines objective measures of quality and affordability, according to Kiplinger’s website. The website also states that the data included in the ranking calculation ranges from acceptance rate to average debt at graduation. The magazine uses data provided by Peterson’s Undergraduate Database, a national data collection firm that specializes in financial, academic and demographic collection, according to the Peterson website. The two categories used in the magazine’s ranking formula are quality and affordability, worth 56.25 percent and 43.75 percent, respectively. The measures of quality are comprised of several categories: 25

“We must always be in a state of positive examination of our community,” Garrett said, adding that one of the greatest challenges in creating a diverse community is to include everyone when creating programs and services. Yarbrough added that the campus-wide Advisory Council on Community and Diversity (ACCD) was highlighted in Emory’s application for the award. According to the website of the Office of the Provost, the ACCD was created in fall 2011 in place of the President’s Commission on the Status of Women (PCSW), the President’s Commission on Race and Ethnicity (PCORE) and the President’s Commission on Sexuality, Gender Diversity and Queer Equality (PCSGDQE). The ACCD provides guidelines for each division of Emory to assess their efforts to create a diverse community through short- and long-term goals, Yarbrough said. Though both of these programs assist Emory in creating a more diverse community, Garrett stressed that they are not the only reasons for this award. He said Emory was commemorated for its overall effort and commitment. “It is a reminder of the good work we have done, but more importantly, the award signifies our commitment to continuing our work to create a

Ozzie Harris, who served as the senior vice provost for community and diversity since 2007, is no longer employed by Emory University as of earlier this month, according to Nancy Seideman, interim vice president for communications and marketing. In his most recent position, Harris was a senior member of the Office of the Provost, according to the Emory website. He was responsible for advancing and establishing efforts that enhanced a sense of community at the University as well as guiding campus diversity projects. Seideman confirmed Harris’ Oct. 7 departure in an email to the Wheel but declined to clarify whether his employment was terminated by the University or selfterminated. She said the University Ozzie does not comment on personnel Harris, issues. former vice She also declined to specify provost for whether Harris’ community departure was and related to a lawdiversity, suit filed against the University left Emory in June in which University Melissa Sexton, a former community this month. research post-doctoral fellow who worked at Emory for more than a decade, alleges that Harris engaged in gender discrimination when he fired her last year. Specifically, the lawsuit claims that Harris fired Sexton after she objected to the promotion of a much less qualified male candidate for a position in which she had expressed interest. About two weeks before the termination of her contract, she confronted Harris after he allegedly said that if a woman does not immediately file a complaint about rape or sexual harassment through the Office of Equal Opportunity Programs (EOP), then the situation must not be very important to her, the Wheel reported on Oct. 29. Harris did not respond to an email sent to his Emory address — which automatically sends a message stating that he no longer works at the University — and a Facebook message to his personal account. In a statement to the Wheel, Claire Sterk, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, announced that Robert Franklin, former president of Morehouse College who has held several positions at Emory throughout the past, will serve in the interim as senior advisor on community and diversity to the provost and will also work with other senior administrators. Franklin’s appointment marks his third at Emory. He previously served as the director of Black Church Studies at the Candler School of Theology, and then as Presidential Distinguished Professor of Social Ethics and a senior fellow at the Center for the Study of Law and Religion.

ADMISSIONS

Early Decision I Application Deadline Extended By Nicholas Sommariva Associate Editor The Office of Admission has extended its Early Decision (ED) I Deadline to submit the Common Application until Nov. 4 from Nov. 1 for applicants to Emory College and Oxford College. This change comes in light of many prospective students having technical difficulties with using the Common App. Additionally, the deadline for transcripts, letters of recommendations and other materials has been extended until Nov. 11. The Office of Admission said in its online blog that they decided to push the deadline back to help “ease anxiety caused by possible technolo-

gy issues” but still encourage students to turn their application in on time. Other universities across the nation have also decided to push back their deadlines as the Common Application is now accepted by more than 500 institutions. The Common Application, a nonprofit organization, allows students to apply to numerous colleges and universities using one application. “We are aware of the log-in issues users are experiencing,” the Common Application tweeted Monday. “[We are] taking steps to address the problem as quickly as possible.” Northwestern University (Ill.), Duke University (N.C.), the University of Chicago, Boston College and several others have pushed their deadlines back to later in November.

The Office of Admission said in the blog post that the deadline extension will not affect students’ chances of acceptance, and the office “[does] not anticipate any delay of the release of decisions in mid-December.” WSB-TV reported Monday that many other Georgia institutions — including but not limited to the Georgia Institute of Technology, Morehouse College and Oglethorpe University — have extended their ED application deadlines. The College also extended its ED deadline to Nov. 5 last year due to Hurricane Sandy. Students in the Northeast, where the damage was greatest, were given until Nov. 15 last year. — Contact Nicholas Sommariva at nicholas.sommariva@emory.edu

Emory received the Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) award this month, recognizing the University’s commitment to building a diverse community. The award was given by Insight Into Diversity, a diversity magazine and website in higher education that has been covering issues of diversity for the last 40 years, according to an Oct. 13 University press release. According to Dona Yarbrough, associate vice provost for community and diversity, the honor measures an institution’s commitment to diversity through programs, student recruitment and retention and hiring practices for faculty and staff. “This award recognizes the collaborative efforts of students, faculty and administrators to leverage the diversity in the Emory community for positive transformation in the world,” said Andy Wilson, senior associate dean of Campus Life external relations. Not only is Emory committed to a diverse community but it is also aware of areas where improvements could be made following the creation of the Campus Life Compact, a committee that aims to organize diversity around campus, according to Assistant Dean for Campus Life and Director of the Office of Student Leadership and Service Matthew Garrett.

Emory Among First Schools to Get STEM Award Continued from Page 1 and Prevention and pharmaceutical companies. Laney Graduate School Dean Lisa Tedesco said STEM advances are having an incredible impact. “Working with colleagues at the Georgia Institute of Technology, the BEST award will allow us to develop a collaborative training experience for a new generation of STEM graduate students and post-docs,” McCarty, the principal investigator, said. Other universities that are among the first to receive the BEST awards include Cornell University, Vanderbilt University, Wayne State University, University of California—Davis and the New York University School of Medicine, according to the press release. Georgia is a “hotbed of great science and wonderful interactive research,” NIH Director Francis Collins said. “There are remarkable achievements made every day, and at NIH, we’re counting on that,” Collins said. “The joint venture between Emory and Georgia Tech has enabled great collaboration in the biomedical field.” The award is supported through the NIH Common Fund’s “Strengthening the Biomedical Research Workforce” program. According to a Sept. 23 NIH press release, the workforce addresses concerns about biomedical research, especially with the long time it takes to obtain a Ph.D. and the declining percentage of Ph.D. graduates. As Emory continues its biomedical research, the NIH will continue to give BEST awards to increase interest in biomedical research. A second round of NIH awards are anticipated later in 2013, the NIH press release states. — Contact Brandon Fuhr at brandon.spencer.fuhr@emory.edu

Student Government Association Votes to Table Bill to Fund Diwali By Rupsha Basu Asst. News Editor The 47th Legislature of the Student Government Association (SGA) voted unanimously to confirm members to the Constitutional Council and decided to table funding for the annual Diwali event hosted by the Indian Cultural Exchange (ICE). Diwali is an Indian cultural holiday marking the Indian New Year. This year’s ICE event will take place on Nov. 7. ICE asked SGA to finance the remaining $9,000 of the almost $33,000 it took to fund this year’s

event. Usually, a bill for funding must first go through review by the SGA Finance Committee and then a vote by the Legislature the following week. In order for a bill to skip Finance Committee review and go straight to a vote by the Legislature, the SGA has to suspend the bylaws. The Legislature voted against suspending the bylaws and will vote on the bill after a Finance Committee review. Some graduate legislators said they were concerned about SGA funding the event because ICE asked

for too much money, and the bill had not gone through review by the Finance Committee. Full-time MBA Goizueta Business School student David Kaplan said he does not believe SGA has the sufficient funds to finance the bill and that ICE should have come to SGA sooner. SGA has about $11,000 left in its operating budget. “[The bill not] going through the rigor of a finance review seems backwards,” Kaplan said. He added that he did not believe SGA would be able to fund all of the requested $9,000.

College sophomore and SGA sophomore legislator Ami FieldsMeyer responded by saying that he thinks it is SGA’s job to support oncampus organizations like ICE. Kaplan also said he thinks SGA should be a last-resort option for clubs and that the money ought to be reserved for events that are accessible to the whole University. Fields-Meyer said that almost no groups on campus cater to the entire University other than SGA and Emory’s Student Programming Council (SPC). SGA recommended that ICE ask other divisional councils for fund-

ing before next week’s meeting and revise the bill to include line-items to specify what exactly it wants SGA to fund. SGA also unanimously confirmed Shannon Proctor (2L) and Allen Woods (2L) as associate justices for the Constitutional Council, a body of students that oversees hearings and questions of constitutionality. In addition to ICE Diwali, next week SGA will vote on bills to fund shuttles to the airport for Thanksgiving break and a TEDxEmory speaker event.

RESEARCH

$12M Grant to Aid Schizophrenia Research By Mallika Manyapu Staff Writer An international collaboration involving Emory has received a $12 million grant to study the genetics of schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders. According to an Oct. 1 University press release, the study focuses on schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders related to the chromosome 22q11.12 deletion syndrome. The collaboration, called the International Consortium on Brain and Behavior in 22q11.12 Deletion Syndrome, is an international effort involving 22 institutions across the world. The National Institute of Mental Health has awarded more than half of the grant to Emory who will lead the genetic research portion of the study, the press release says. 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is found in 1 in 4,000 live births

and can affect any part of the body including heart abnormalities, poor immune system, seizures and others, according to the press release. However, some people with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome have none of these particular medical issues and suffer instead from cognitive disorders such as autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety. According to the press release, people with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome are at an increased risk for developing mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and depression. Despite being the highest known genetic risk factor for schizophrenia, little is known about the mechanism. “By sequencing the entire genomes of 1,000 patients with this syndrome, some with and some without psychosis, we hope to uncover variation elsewhere in the genome that contributes to psychosis risk, not only in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome but also

in idiopathic psychosis,” lead investigator Stephen Warren, chair of the Department of Human Genetics and the William P. Timmie Professor and Charles Howard Candler Chair of Human Genetics at Emory University School of Medicine, said in the press release. The genomic research will include whole-genome sequencing to find genetic variation that may contribute to the wide range of severity of neurorelated diseases such as schizophrenia and psychosis. The results will also help identify other mechanisms leading to schizophrenia in the general population, the press release states. “The project is an unprecedented international initiative to examine a common deletion associated with schizophrenia and elucidate its genomic and behavioral substrates,” Warren said in the press release.

$27,737 in student debt from a total four-year cost of around $230,000. Bentley pointed to a study from the Pew Research Center released in 2010, which found the average debt at graduation on student loans was $26,682, putting Emory within the national norms and 39th on the Kiplinger list for this year. “If managed wisely, student loans can be a very good way to pay for a high quality education that will continue to provide benefits far into the future,” Bentley said. “The success of our students rests on the future.” The Kiplinger methodology also rewarded schools that made an effort to decrease student indebtedness, according to the magazine’s

website, and according to the press release Emory has made a strong commitment to decreasing student indebtedness. Emory’s Office of Financial Aid also meets 100 percent of the demonstrated financial need for all admitted traditional, domestic undergraduate students as determined by a thorough review of each family’s financial circumstances, according to the press release. Approximately 58 percent of Emory students receive some form of financial aid, whether it is loans, grants, scholarships, fellowships or work-study, according to the press release. “Because of Emory’s financial aid

package, I will graduate with a whole lot less debt than I thought,” College sophomore Paul Anderson said. “I’m definitely grateful.” Some Emory students expressed excitement over the rankings. “I’m not surprised by the rankings,” College freshman Ivy Kilpatrick said. “Financial aid and value was part of the reason I picked Emory.” College freshman Rosie Ditre said she was also satisfied with the rankings. “This is just another reason Emory is one of the best schools — and the best for me,” she said.

United States Sees Increase in Number of Women in Workforce By Jackie Steele Mustang Daily, California Polytechnic State University Not only are women affected by numbers in the workforce and in universities, but they also feel the effects of larger issues within the United States labor system, said Kat Beglin, a graduate student assistant at the Cal Poly Gender Equity Center. The Center of Innovation and Entrepreneurship recently selected three Cal Poly professors as Coleman Fellows, each who will lead projects in the male-dominated field of entrepreneurship. All three are women. In recent years, the United States has seen an increase in the number of women in the workforce. According to the United States’ Department of Labor and the Census Bureau, women account for 47 percent of the workforce, compared to just 30 percent in 1950. Women make up just 14 percent of architects and engineers, which

is also reflected at Cal Poly, with a noticeably smaller population of female students pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). “There are definite gender expectations that pressure men to go into fields where they are likely to be the breadwinner, and women where they will play more of a supporting role,” said Charlotte Rinaldi, a career counselor for the College of Architecture. In contrast to the small number of more technically focused women in the workforce, women make up 82 percent of elementary and middle school teachers. “Based on how we are raised in society, women are more relationship focused, while men are more achievement oriented,” Rinaldi said. In 2012, women made up just 18.5 percent of the 5411 students in the College of Engineering. “I definitely feel that I am the minority in my math and physics classes,” civil engineering freshman

Jennifer Laybourn said. “It’s intimidating, and makes me feel like I have to work harder to keep up with male students because there are so many compared to the number of females.”

“There are definite gender expectations ...” — Charlotte Rinaldi, career counselor Not only are women affected by numbers in the workforce and in universities, but they also feel the effects of larger issues within the United States labor system, said Kat Beglin, a graduate student assistant at the Cal Poly Gender Equity Center. “Because of the lack of the option for paternity leave in many cases, it usually falls on the woman to sacrifice work in order to take care of the family,” Beglin said. “Many women

may feel like they have to choose what’s important to them, rather than having the ability to have both a family and career.” Often discussed nationwide is the discrepancy in pay between male and female workers. According to a 2012 U.S. Census Bureau report, women earn on average 77 cents for every dollar a man in the same position earns. “Women are also less likely to negotiate their salaries, which puts them behind from the start,” Rinaldi said. In addition to these obvious challenges, appearance and body language in the workplace can impact professional situations for women. “If you’re wearing a suit or pants and a shirt, you have more freedom in your body movement, and you can have a more assertive stance,” Beglin said. “If you’re a woman in a business skirt, you don’t have that freedom to move around, and can feel restricted, which can translate into your behav-

ior and actions.” As far as solutions to gender discrepancies in the workforce go, it’s clear that progress that has already been made can still be improved upon, Beglin said. “Things are definitely changing, people are talking about it and society is making progress, but it will have to be gradual,” Beglin said. “It’s up to society and the everyman to make the movement go forward. Because it’s not the norm yet, it takes extra effort to make that change.” The role of education also plays a factor in enhancing perspective when it comes to gender in the workplace, giving students the opportunity to see things differently. “It is the responsibility of universities (to) help men and women be open-minded, see possibilities for all people without consideration of gender or ethnicity,” Rinaldi said. “Ideally, more people will do what they aspire to, and not what’s expected of them.”

Additionally, Dona Yarbrough, associate vice provost, will maintain the Office’s day-to-day operations, Sterk said.

Passion Pit is not only different in genre from last year’s act, The Eli Young Band, but they are also a bigger name. Passion Pit’s brand of energetic electro-pop is accessible to a diverse crowd, and we at the Wheel commend SPC’s effort to draw the group to campus. Hopefully, this means Emory will be able to continue to bring more exhilarating and well-known acts. We applaud the amount of time SPC invested in bringing Passion Pit: such a task demands advance planning, persistence and intense work. Perseverance clearly paid off. Passion Pit typically plays at bigger campuses than Emory and given last semester’s performance from Kendrick Lamar, it seems that Emory has become a college on the map for big-named artists. McDonough is an excellent venue for these kinds of large and energized concerts. WMRE, Emory’s student radio show, also had some “killer” choices for their annual fall concert, Localsfest, which features local Atlanta bands. The concert will feature a set from student D.J. and social chair of WMRE Mateusz Nawara, as well as local music act Carnivores and Atlanta rapper Killer Mike. This year, WMRE rented out the Goizueta Business School’s Amphitheater as opposed to the Cox ballroom. Considering this is Localsfest, these Atlanta natives are a perfect match. Contrasting SPC’s event, this concern is only for students and will be utilizing Emory’s security in order to ensure nothing goes wrong. We anticipate that SPC and WMRE’s advertising will lure people into coming to these concerts, but the names really do advertise for themselves. We at the Wheel are pleased and impressed by the music coming to campus, and hopefully in the future, both WMRE and SPC will continue bringing in big and different names to cater to Emory students’ diverse music tastes.

Expanding Greek Life Diversity Emory May Add Multicultural Chapters Last week, the University announced that five new Greek organizations are in the process of potentially establishing themselves at Emory with the goal of opening their doors for the upcoming spring semester. Four of the organizations – fraternities Sigma Beta Rho, Lambda Upsilon Lambda, Lambda Theta Phi and sorority Theta Nu Xi – may join the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC), which is currently represented at Emory by just three organizations. In addition to being members of the MGC, Lambda Upsilon Lambda and Lambda Theta Phi will be members of the National Association of Latino Fraternity Organization (NALFO). Sigma Gamma Rho, a member of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, will seek to reestablish its Pi Omicron chapter after disbanding in 2007 due to low membership, the Wheel reported last week. We at the Wheel are pleased to see that the University is taking steps to diversify its Greek community beyond the scope of the organizations already on campus. Given the cultural diversity exhibited on Emory’s campus, we believe that it is important to have a variety of multicultural Greek organizations on campus in order to facilitate diversity. The addition of two more Latino-oriented fraternities would be especially exciting, given Emory and Metro Atlanta’s thriving Latino communities. This year has seen significant changes in the way Emory organizes and orchestrates Greek life, namely the inception of the Greek Conduct Review Board. Although dissidents might argue that Emory is planning to add Greek organizations to its roster without the demand from the student body necessary to sustain them, we believe adding these organizations could be part of a greater vision for Emory’s Greek community. Going forward, we hope that the existing Greek organizations at Emory will make every effort to welcome their new, multicultural neighbors. We also hope that the Interfraternity Council and Intersorority Council will work with organizations such as the MGC and NPHC to ensure that a social bridge does not divide them. We wish the new organizations the best of luck and look forward to having them join the Emory community.

Simplicity in the Midst of Chaos Interpreting the Words of the Dalai Lama TSEWANG RIGZIN His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama identifies himself as “just a simple Buddhist monk.” He is much more than that. He is the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people, the greatest and most influential promoter of peace of our time, the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, a recipient of the Congressional Gold Medal and many other distinguished accolades, author of multiple best-seller books and one of the top 25 political icons of all time, to say the least. I feel fortunate beyond measures to have had an opportunity to listen to the wise and compassionate words of this great Bodhisattva at three different events organized by our University. The first event was a public talk entitled “The Pillar of Responsible Citizenship in Global Village,” where the Dalai Lama spoke to more than 8,000 people about the need for oneness in humanity to promote the common good of all. Despite many wonderful developments, the Dalai Lama said that the 20th century was a century of bloodshed and violence. He believes we need to change our outlook on how we solve problems and conflict. Instead of exercising force, he suggested we rely on dialogue to create a more peaceful and compassionate 21st century. He went on to cite many scientific findings, which show how negative emotions such as anger, suspicions and jealousy have adverse effects on physical health, and vice-versa. He proposed the need for “emotional hygiene” for a more calm, peaceful and blissful state of mind as we already have physical

hygiene to stay healthy. He furthered stressed the importance of motherhood and the need for more female leaders in order to have a more compassionate world. The second event was entitled “The Panel Session on Secular Ethic in Education,” which featured the Dalai Lama with top scientists and educators such as Director of the Lab for Affective Neuroscience at University of Wisconsin—Madison Richard Davidson and Emory University’s Charles Howard Candler Professor of Psychology Frans B.M. de Waal. The event was moderated by Professor of Physics at Amherst College Arthur Zajonc. In this session de Waal, who works with primates, showed video evidence to demonstrate the presence of empathy and sense of fairness in mammals, and Davidson explained how young infants respond positively to generosity and how they appreciate help rather than hindrance. In this session, the Dalai Lama stressed the importance of educating the young mind about secular ethics by introducing it in school’s curriculums. While doing so, he clarified the definition of the word secular, which he used in his latest book Beyond Religion: Ethics for a Whole World. For him, secular means having respect for all religions without any biases. The third event that I attended was titled “Transcending Moral Differences: Can a ‘Secular Ethic’ Unite Us?” which was an in-depth conversation on secular ethics with scholars from Emory University and hosted by the Department of Religion and the Center for Ethics. In this session, Emory Scholars

had an intense discussion with the Dalai Lama on Beyond Religion. In this session Philippe Rochat, a professor of psychology at Emory who conducted intensive studies on child behavior, asked the Dalai Lama whether humans are born good or bad, as his studies suggests that human beings have a multi-faceted, contradictory nature. On this question, the Dalai Lama replied that humans have both positive and negative emotions and emphasized the importance of education as a means to bring out more positive emotions. The Dalai Lama then jokingly teased Rochat by saying that he should have a third eye while doing scientific investigation, to which he replied that he does not have third eye. The Dalai Lama then responded by saying if you don’t have third eye, you won’t be able to see reality. This particular part was extremely interesting and thought-provoking to me because when the Dalai Lama said “third eye,” I believe he meant a different outlook and not a literal eye. The very scope of scientific investigation to some extent is limited to empirical and measurable evidence where as there are many phenomenons which are beyond the scope of the very definition of scientific investigation. After listening to the Dalai Lama for three days at Emory, I learned one thing in particular: to be complex is easy, but to be simple does not come so easily. Indeed, it is the most difficult thing that we can accomplish. In that sense, he really is a “Simple Buddhist Monk.” Tsewang Rigzin is a third-year Tibetan Student in the Laney Graduate School, pursing a Masters in Developmental Practice.

OP  ED

Dismantling the Government’s Definition of Wilderness Austin Price | Staff

AUSTIN PRICE From his ranger post in southern Utah’s Arches National Park, Ed Abbey once declared that America’s wilderness is “not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit.” His words ring true from the red rock canyonlands of the desert southwest, from one beautiful corner of this country to another. But this month, even as our national parks and wilderness areas reopen after a period of restricted access, Abbey has certainly been rolling in his grave (beneath a federallyowned portion of the Sonora Desert). The National Park Service (NPS) was one of the federal agencies hit hardest during the government shutdown. Notices posted at iron gates turned away visitors from trailheads and fenced off parks and monuments. NPS employees were furloughed; small businesses that depend on traffic in and out of these areas struggled. If this shutdown had happened a few months earlier, my own summer job would have been jeopardized, if not terminated completely. But it is not the threatened economy surrounding these parks that would have caused another Abbey outrage (after all, he opposed wilderness tourist development in the first place). Nor would a shutdown keep him from entering the land he loved. When a barbed wire fence crossed his path, a wire-cutter offered a simple solution. A deeper dilemma extends beyond the events of this month and lies behind the absurdity that national park boundaries can even be closed in the first place. Evidently, the conceptual reality of wilderness in this country is altogether endangered. The concept of wilderness falls into the category of ambiguities that evade clear defining. The Wilderness Act gave it a shot in 1964, recognizing wilderness as an area “in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape,” where “man himself is a visitor who does not remain.” A distinction between man and nature is drawn, succinctly illustrated by a federal fence.

America then becomes a series of plots, divided between private ownership and the government. We can call some of these zones “wilderness,” but there is nothing wild about an arbitrarily green-shaded portion on a U.S. map, especially if access is restricted. Wilderness should be wild. Obviously. Yet the wildness of wilderness is too often forgotten. Even the governmental processes of ‘conservation’ and ‘preservation’ concede to a human designation of land that betrays the very idea of wildness. America’s wilderness areas can be considered wild only until a government Air Force test or wildlife research project or shutdown proves otherwise. I doubt this was the intention of George Catlin when he first recommended the establishment of national parks. In the 1830s, the young painter stood at the confluence of the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers and

expressed his desire for “some great protecting policy of government” to create “a nation’s park, containing man and beast, in all the wild and freshness of their nature’s beauty!” This vision soon gave birth to Yellowstone National Park, our nation’s first protected wilderness. It is no coincidence that Catlin’s national park idea coincided in space and time with his famous artistic depictions of Native American life in the Great Plains. The image of hunters on horseback in pursuit of a herd of bison over the northern hills represented to Catlin the wildness of nature more so than an empty landscape devoid of people. Yellowstone was conceived along with the recognition that nature contained both man and beast. Yet, somewhere between Catlin’s life and ours, our nation’s public land has been further partitioned between wilderness areas

and Native American reservations — for the sake of conservation. Along with the attempt at encasing national parklands in closable borders, this is another example that ousts the fallacy of our federal government’s definition of wilderness. So the question remains: if every mountain, forest, lake or river can be closed to the public by a federal notice or a “no trespassing” sign, where does wilderness still exist? Where do we recognize the land that does not fall under private or government jurisdiction — that exists for the sake of itself and nothing else? In an attempt to answer these questions and rediscover our country’s wildness, we can view this month’s closing of national parks as another fallacy to ignore. Besides, government or not, wildness remains.

This month in the American West, a desert sun continues to cast its warm glow over the red rock mesas of northern Arizona. An autumnal vibrancy increasingly differentiates the timbered choirs of aspens from their evergreen neighbors. The slopes of the upper Rockies grow whiter everyday with the approaching winter. Even in Atlanta’s backyard, the Chattahoochee perpetually flows its 400-mile series of rocky shoals, and wild Appalachia finds its humble beginning in the smoky north Georgian foothills. This wilderness is a necessity of the human spirit, and vice versa. If the only thing keeping you from experiencing it is the closed border of a perpetuated fallacy, then it’s time to hop the fence.

Let’s Talk About Sexual Assault Regular Slate magazine contributor Emily Yoffe recently published an article titled “College Women: Stop Getting Drunk.” The article is a dissection of sexual assault and its connection with binge drinking on college campuses. Yoffe makes the argument that although the perpetrators of assault bear the full responsibility of their crimes, society is “failing to let women know that when they render themselves defenseless, terrible things can be done to them.” In this case, Yoffe considers binge drinking among women to be an approach towards defenselessness. Within hours of its release, the article sparked widespread controversy across the internet, and critics attacked her article for promoting rape culture. Critics argued Yoffee mistakenly addresses women on how to guard themselves from assault, when she should be addressing the general populous on why a culture that promotes assault is dangerous. After responses flooded in, Yoffe published an article in which she responds to her critics and defensively elaborates on her arguments. She does not redact any of her findings and she affirms her piece as an open contribution to the public dialogue about sexual assault: “My story churned up a lot of outrage, but I remain hopeful that it will start some conversations and prevent at least some sexual assaults.” The conversations have indeed started, but what is truly important is what we can learn from Yoffe’s article about the way we discuss sexual assault. Discussing issues where people have been victimized is both challenging and polarizing. Yoffe made a very strong association between

alcohol and sexual assault and then suggested that taking alcohol out of the equation would lower the number of assaults. The way she chose to address women as potential victims is what rendered the significant backlash. The cascade of criticism created a contrast between “teaching women to protect against assault,” and “teaching society that assault needs to stop.” The way Yoffe framed her article laid the groundwork for this juxtaposition; however, these are two ideas that can be simultaneously promulgated without discrediting victims or promoting rape culture. Yoffe defended her article so ardently because she felt she was advocating for women’s safety. The approach towards having women behave in a specific way in order to fend off sexual assault, however imposing, is still an attempt at promoting safety. The approach towards having society behave differently is more geared towards advocating for a shift in cultural mindset. These two causes are not differing vantage points but rather two shades of the same argument: sexual assault needs to stop. If we want to approach this long-term goal as a society, then we must certainly be addressing the general population. Kids should be educated appropriately throughout their levels of education so they can become fully aware of terms like assault, consent and violence. Properly educating the youth is the most effective way to plant a seed for a change in morals. If these efforts are successful, then ideally we will have a future in which sexual assault is seen as the heinous crime it is rather than something that “just happens.” However, while we work to inculcate the moral code of tomorrow, we still have to deal with the harsh realities of today. Contrary

to Yoffe’s article, the way to deal with these realities is not by instructing women to stop drinking alcohol. A more effective way to decrease the number of sexual assaults in the short term is to dramatically infuse the negativity of such actions into daily conversation. Increasing the prominence of assault discussion on college campuses further ostracizes those who have committed offenses and makes potential victims more aware. Harsher penalties for offenders and consciousness of the severity of such issues will also stop an increase in awareness. Yoffe is right that self-consciousness about how college students conduct themselves in social environments could definitely lead to a lower number of sexual assaults. However, asking potential victims to change their lifestyles to accommodate the offenders is a step in the wrong direction. We have the ability to influence the future of how we discuss assault while simultaneously decreasing the number of assaults currently. The first step is to start talking about it: seriously, maturely and constantly. People of all ages, all over the world need to be aware of how prominent an issue this is and how we can work towards eradicating it rather than just attending to it as an unchangeable reality.

ALBUM REVIEW

Cyrus Covers New Ground in ‘Bangerz’ By Ellie Kahn Contributing Writer

Courtesy of Lori Teague

Guest choreographer Emily Johnson works with College sophomores Lauren Lindeen (left) and Meredith Lerner (right) this week. Johnson will offer a creativity conversation Tuesday, Oct. 22 at 4 p.m. and will premiere her work at Emory Dance Company’s fall showcase.

Emory Dance Welcomes Emily Johnson By Meredith Stedman Contributing Writer This month, Emory will welcome renowned contemporary dance choreographer Emily Johnson to the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts as this year’s artist in residency. Johnson was born and raised in Alaska but now lives in Minneapolis, where her dance com-

pany, Catalyst, is based. Catalyst’s work focuses on body-based art that unearths the experience of sensing and seeing performance. Johnson also incorporates the raw, reflective quality of the outdoors into her choreography. She often seems to create work around an environmental or community-based theme, such as in her new piece, “SHORE,” which is

set to premiere this coming June. “SHORE” is the third installment in Johnson’s series, which previously included “The ThankYou Bar” and “Niicugni,” both of which draw inspiration from her Alaskan roots and include props such as fish-skin lanterns. Here at Emory, Johnson is working with a select group of dancers from the Emory Dance Company

(EDC) to create an original performance. Having had the opportunity to sit in on a rehearsal, it’s clear to me why Emory would pursue Johnson for a residency. Johnson sees value in the dancer as an individual, all while upholding a cohesive group dynamic. The dancers rarely move in uni-

Miley Cyrus, her evolution, her choices and her self-portrayal have been thrown — pretty aggressively — around the Internet a lot recently. Whether we loathe her, love her or feel the need to boast how extremely apathetic we feel towards her and what she does, it seems like everyone is vehement. But like anything deserving of such strong opinion, it’s important to be both well-informed and wellversed in addition to just being able to count how many times she’s exposed the three inches above and below her belly button in the past two months. In other words, it’s time we talked about the music she’s making. Bangerz is Cyrus’s fourth studio album and fifth non-consecutive album to appear at number one on the Billboard 200, including previous work under her Disney-ized alias Hannah Montana. Bangerz’s hype is derived from Cyrus herself and her excitement for the project. After a not-so-successful film career (“The Last Song,” anyone?) and an even more unimpressive clothing line at WalMart, it seems like it’s the first time in her life that she’s been so passionate about something. The album, which was produced by powerhouse and Atlanta native Mike WiLL Made It, is a celebration of all things Cyrus — her Nashville roots, her somewhat comical obsession with the hip-hop lifestyle and her careful attention to the stuff that challenges current pop music. Cyrus opens the album with “Adore You,” a track with power, but not so much radio appeal: a bold move on her part. It’s a beautiful love song that feels as authentic as an Adele number, but isn’t quite what you’d expect from the first taste of an album entitled Bangerz with a half-naked and enraged Cyrus on the cover.

FILM REVIEW

Ever since its debut on the big screen, Tom Hanks’ latest effort, “Captain Phillips,” has received unanimous praise. Rotten Tomatoes — a website that assigns a percentage to films based on an average of critics’ ratings — gave the film a 94 percent rating, even higher than “Saving Private Ryan,” another Hanks film, which has arguably become the most popular World War II movie to date. “Captain Phillips” is by no means a bad movie, but it hardly deserves to be viewed as a masterpiece. As the title may imply, “Captain Phillips” deals with the life of one Richard Phillips, a cargo ship captain operating off the coast of East Africa. The film sets him up as your everyday American breadwinner: early in the morning, he leaves his pictureperfect suburban home to brave the high seas and feed his family which, evidently, only includes a wife who anxiously awaits his return each time; if only their house was on the shore and had a widow’s watch. Think “Cast Away,” minus all recognizable character flaws, as she drops him off at the airport in their mini-van. From the very beginning, the shortfalls of this movie are realized. The titular character is one-dimensional. And with a character like that, the only possible drama is realized by external conflict rather than within the characters themselves. Like the film itself, I am drawn towards the notion that Tom Hanks is overrated as an actor. His early career comprises some of his best work, with titles such as “Big” and “Philadelphia” handing him a loyal fan base. But Hanks’ popularity and skill have all too often been confused. And though he is a master of his craft, there’s still another dimension of acting that he has yet to demonstrate. In

all fairness, one of his truest moments as an actor is realized in this film: a good five minutes of Hanks exhibiting raw emotion — a combination of fear, sorrow, panic and gratitude. He executes it flawlessly but stays within the parameters of his character. At the same time, this scene encapsulates the aforementioned flaw that plagues “Captain Phillips.” Good acting and good movies are not synonymous. You can masterfully produce a movie about a postman’s route to work, and it will still be a bad movie. On the other hand, the film’s most interesting character is in fact the antagonist, an intelligent and ambitious Somali forced into a life of piracy. Unfortunately, the dialogue he was handed doesn’t do much to develop his role. Repeating the phrase “no tricks” time and time again furnishes the film with an element of loaded predictability, which verges on mindnumbing. If “Captain Phillips” were retitled “Somali Pirate,” you’d have a movie. Instead, we’re left with the cliché story of an average man thrust into extraordinary circumstances, forced to rely on intuition and bravery in order to battle the odds. It’s a story we’ve heard a million times before, and it isn’t even reframed to create something new. When I went to see “Captain Phillips” in theatres, I expected nothing short of a masterpiece. The hipster in me loathed its popularity because no one talks about some of my favorite movies, which seem to have been steamrolled by Hollywood blockbusters. Though the viciousness that this article showcases may suggest otherwise, I didn’t regret my viewing experience, and I went so far as to say, “it was pretty good,” as I walked out of the theatre. But upon further examination, the flaws I noted became more clear to me and after

It would have made more sense for the album to start with “Do My Thang,” a heated, club-worthy track about individualism and not caring and being okay. Tracks worth a fair shot and a good listen — other than the pre-released and radio-abused singles “We Can’t Stop” and “Wrecking Ball” — are “Rooting for My Baby,” “Hands in the Air” (featuring Ludacris) and “4x4,” all of which boast Cyrus’s raw ability to make any kind of song she wants and make it work. Tracks that seem more like experiments gone bad include “FU,” featuring French Montana and “On My Own,” but somehow they still seem to add something constructive to the album. There are so many songs on the LP, good, bad and ugly alike, that it’s hard to keep track of them all. And this is partly because Bangerz is strung together so unconventionally. Its track order follows no algorithm or formula and results in a somewhat anarchic mess of wellmade songs in a poorly-made order. For instance, we get “Love Money Party,” a house party jam featuring

or complimenting a delicate-looking wind chime. The exciting way entails looking at the most expensive items on display, taking pictures mimicking the giant metalwork statues, gushing about your favorite pieces of their work to a flattered artist and asking more questions than duly necessary — how long it took to make a piece, what materials were used, where their inspiration came from. After buying a dainty set of turquoise teardrop earrings from Javier Vargas of SerezDesign, my friend asked where he got the gems. “I mined this turquoise from the Andean Mountain range, right next to the ruins of Machu Picchu. I almost fell down the cliff while working, and I remember my uncle dragging me back by my shirt collar,” the artist responded.

In “12 Years A Slave,” the compelling, heart-wrenching film adapted from the autobiographical narrative of the same name, Solomon Northup is stripped of identity and freedom after he is kidnapped, shipped south and sold into slavery in 1841. The film delves into the very fabric of slavery: morally, physically and emotionally. Director Steve McQueen (“Shame”) adapts the narrative for the screen, weaving a complex tale led by the exquisite performances of Chiwetel Ejiofor (“2012”), Michael Fassbender (“Prometheus”) and newcomer Lupita Nyong’o. Solomon Northup (Ejiofor) was a free black man living in upstate New York with his wife, son and daughter in 1841. After his capture, Northup had to suppress his true, free self and conform to a new slave identity in order to survive in antebellum Louisiana. His status as a black man in the white slaveholding South defines him as a slave, no matter who he claims to be. Outwardly, Northup becomes Platt, a quiet field hand and carpenter; inwardly, he struggles to reconcile his desire to escape and his need for survival. At every turn the film asks, “How far would you go to stay alive?” Northup can never display his ability to read or write and can surely never speak his mind. Further, he must commit terrible acts himself to remain alive, from

Atlantans explored the creations of more than 150 local artists at the Fall Festival on Ponce this weekend. The art featured included pottery, jewelry, paintings, drawings and leather work.

Local Artisans ‘Fall’ Into Atlanta’s Seasonal Festival, Share Their Art By Emily Li Contributing Writer Last Saturday was not a good day for the Fall Festival on Ponce. Nothing about the weather felt festival-y in the slightest — not the slight mist covering the bungee jump ropes or the inflatable slides, not the shadows lingering on the sidewalk, not the stiff wind making the tents flap against each other like wet noodles. No, the only thing that felt like a festival were the approximately 150 local artists that gathered in Olmsted Linear Park to celebrate their handcrafted artwork, eager to share their stories and their work — weather be darned. As soon as I stepped into the park, I was so overwhelmed by everything happening around me that it was hard to decide what to explore first. The smell of freshly toasted sandwiches,

corn dogs and roasting ribs wafted through the crowds, along with the sounds of giggling, fidgeting children getting their faces painted, dogs straining on leashes and several live Georgian bands. But the only thing that truly caught my attention were the lines of white tents sprawling in every direction, each containing a talented artist and their wares. The art ranged from ceramic pottery and plates to leather stereos and textured paintings to handcrafted soap and bath salts, reversible hats with pockets, twisted metal bottle openers, gemstone-studded headbands, exotic plants, specialty guitars and nearly every imaginable kind of jewelry. As with many things, you can experience an arts and crafts festival the boring way or the fun, proper way. The boring way involves wandering in and out of stalls, occasionally fingering an affordable necklace

The eighth piece in Jason Kofke’s exhibition “Everythingalltogetherallatonce,” displayed at Midtown’s Beep Beep Gallery, is a letterpress print called “1938.” Composed entirely of text (except for the small image of the moon at the bottom of the paragraph), “1938” tells the story of how, as Neil Armstrong walked on the moon for the first time in the summer of 1969, he allegedly uttered the words, “Good luck, Mr. Gorsky!” According to the narrative the print provides, Gorsky was Armstrong’s childhood neighbor.

Tom Hanks (center) stars in “Captain Phillips,” which was released worldwide on Oct. 11. The films tells the true story of Richard Phillips, an American captain whose cargo ship was taken over by Somali pirates in 2009.

‘Phillips’ Falls Prey to Cliche Plot Devices and Storytelling Continued from Page 9 doing additional research, an article in The New York Post suggests that Captain Richard Phillips was not the hero Hanks portrayed him to be at all. Rather, he ignores protocol, purposefully venturing into waters he knew to be unsafe. Even more frustrating is the obvious fact that those in real

danger were the pirates themselves, being pursued by the full might of the U.S. Navy. The pirates created interesting and dynamic characters — not entirely immoral and corrupt — yet the entire focus of the movie revolved around a middle-aged man who now enjoys successful book and movie deals. Not to mention that any danger he

experienced was entirely self-inflicted (at least according to the movie’s portrayal). The danger is really the tragic reality of Somalia, a war-torn nation that relies on piracy as a means to survive. So, with uncomplicated or at least underdeveloped characters, unimpressive cinematography (there’s not

much you can do when everything takes place in the middle of the ocean, where ships only seem to move if you zoom all the way in) and a straightforward hostage plot that narrowly avoids the truth, why is “Captain Phillips” being considered the movie of the year?

Every artist had a different story, and their work reflected these stories. Jerome Vason, an independent acrylic and oil painter, explained that he loved painting as a child but didn’t pursue it as a career until after leaving the army. Despite the hardship he experienced, he brings life to colorful, abstract paintings that literally jump out at you in what Vason calls “extreme texture.” “I put my spirit, all my spirit, into my work,” he said. A husband temporarily manning his wife’s booth of paintings was unable to give specific details about her art. He only started opening up when I mentioned how much positivity the paintings radiated, with their thick, bold lines and rich colors. I said that his wife must be a very happy woman. “Last month, our trailer was stolen. Everything we had, and 80 original paintings by my wife, gone. She can’t recreate them because she gets sad and upset,” he said. “If you had seen those, you would have said my wife seemed much, much happier than these,” he added a beat later. It’s hard to pick a favorite part of the festival. Of course, the freshlysqueezed lemonade was amazing, not to mention all the wet dog kisses I enthusiastically received or the handmade copper jewelry I bought. But the best part was the rich sense of community, creativity and common interest in the air, in every supportive touch or word of encouragement. When a group asked one artist how

his sales were going, he shyly replied, “Our first customer bought the most expensive thing we had.” This statement was received with cheering and pats on the back, with no bitterness or jealousy. Artists constantly asked each other if they needed to stall-sit for a bit so others could have a quick break. When I asked the wrong person about the price on a miniature stuffed alien keychain, the neighboring artist covered for her until she got back. Two women working the Black Mermaid Soaps stall literally pampered me with different samples of “earthy” or “flowery” lotions, and pushed a free sample into my hands on the way out. In today’s world, it’s easy to take beauty for granted. To appreciate a classical painting for its dark color scheme and contrast is a great skill; to admire the skilled metalwork in a necklace chain is always a good thing. But art festivals like the Fall Festival on Ponce emphasize the artist behind the art, the story behind the work. It’s the difference between online shopping and watching Nelms Creekmur, a professional local blacksmith, hammer out my friend’s initials on the back of a brass cuff she bought. A simple conversation with an artist might not seem like much, but small gestures like that help us appreciate the meaning of the little things in life that we love, but tend to overlook.

‘Bangerz’ Focuses on the ‘12 Years’ Digs Into Implications of Violence, Religion Music, Not Media Attention Continued from Page 9

Continued from Page 9 Big Sean, followed by the Pharrellized, cartoonish “#GETITRIGHT” (yes, there’s a hashtag) followed by emotionally-charged “Drive.” It makes no sense. However, this is representative of Cyrus’s recent stylized movement. In terms of all things Cyrus, what appears to be disorder is apparently order, and what appears to be unintentional is apparently overwhelmingly intentional. Whether or not this Cyrus Complex holds any validity is up to interpretation, but she’s definitely playing with our minds, which is something we, as listeners, need to figure out if we’re okay with or not. Either way, what we can take from Cyrus’s industry tidal waves is that Bangerz is an indicator of where pop music is going. The genre’s direction in the next few years will stray from

its traditional formula and borrow more heavily from other styles to give artists the flexibility to play around more. Blues, folk, jazz, EDM and world music will all be blanketed by pop so much that radio stations will be tough to label. Pop’s getting roomier and expanding its limits a few iterations more to keep us invested, which is exciting. Good for Cyrus. Bangerz may not be the album we’ll make our children listen to as a birthright, but the tracks are well-made without suffering from over-production. She has a great voice, and she’s able to back up her questionable public image choices with a pretty strong portfolio of work. If everything turns out right, this album should do what Cyrus wanted all along: to get everyone to just shut up and listen.

turning a blind eye to much of the cruelty inflicted upon other slaves, to whipping a slave woman himself. Moviegoers may expect the horrific acts of violence committed against Northup and other enslaved people. The film goes further, however, depicting violence as a part of the slave’s everyday life. I was entirely shaken by the natural and constant expectation of violence. When Northup is nearly hanged from a tree and subsequently spends an entire day delicately balancing on his toes with a rope around his neck, the enslaved people simply carry on about their work. In the background of one scene, Northup and other slow cotton pickers are whipped while slaves in the forefront of the shot pick cotton, unfazed by the brutal punishment and blood-curdling cries. “12 Years” demonstrates how slavery brought out the worst in everyone: white, black, women and men.

Mary, presumably a southern belle, throws a decanter at Patsey’s head, beats her and refuses to give Patsey soap. In the movie’s climactic scene,

Northup beats Patsey to shreds, after complying with his master’s orders, which were spurred by Epps’ jealousy and Mary’s rage. Slavery destroys any and every semblance of morality. Aside from bursts of violence, “12 Years” depicts slavery as hopelessly monotonous, as slaves work every day of their lives with no end in sight.

Death is the only saving grace for a slave, and the slave shall die, whether he is brutally killed or worked to death. The Christian religion acts as both a threat and an opiate to the slave population, for a servant shall obey his master or be beaten with many stripes, but with death comes heavenly freedom. With an excellent cast and storyline, “12 Years a Slave” deeply interrogates the enslaved man and woman, as well as the master and mistress. No stone was left unturned in this film, for “12 Years” masterfully depicts the complex physical, psychological and emotional plight of the slave. “12 Years” gives the nation the opportunity to face its history, and, importantly, the story is voiced by an enslaved black man, in his own words. This film gives a voice to the millions of people silenced by slavery and lost to history.

times. He was scared to believe. But Dr. Ed would soon see that this year was different. This year, the Pirates were a team worth the risk of opening your heart and allowing your hope to flow. Andrew McCutchen, a standout player since his rookie year in 2009, exploded as a superstar in 2012, hitting .321 with 31 home runs. A “five-tool player,” both colorful and inspirational, “Cutch” emerged from the depths of poverty, wore dreadlocks halfway down his back and hustled on the field. And he was always laughing, having fun. It was hard, however, to love a player you assumed would leave the Pirates for more money after his three year contract was up. But in the offseason, McCutchen signed a six-year $51.5 million contract with the Pirates. In an ESPN E:60 video, McCutchen said that in high school he wanted to be drafted by the Pirates, that “everything about Pittsburgh made him feel at home.” He said if he had looked for more money after his first contract expired, he would be contradicting his heart: he plays not for money but because he loves the game. And the team was having fun. During the 2012 season, after watching the stoner flick “Dude, Where’s My Car?” they adopted the “Zoltan” sign to celebrate good hits and plays. In the movie, bubble wrap dressed Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott make a “Z” signal with their hands for the cult leader Zoltan. The 2013 Pirates were a rowdy, colorful bunch of guys who loved playing the game. They were differ-

ent from teams in years past, however, because they loved playing for Pittsburgh. They weren’t waiting for their promotion to a real MLB team. In the hallway in between the Pirates dugout and clubhouse, a sign quotes Roberto Clemente: “When I wear my uniform, I feel I am the proudest man on earth.” And this year, Cutch and AJ, El Toro and Grilli, Marte and Walker, and all the others played like the proudest men on earth. At the same time, they weren’t arrogant. Neil Walker stressed in a post game interview mid-season that they were taking it game-by-game. Somewhere in this balance, they weren’t planning on an early end to the season. They wanted the World Series, and that was clear. And the love and aspirations the Pirates had for the city allowed the city to love them back and believe in them. The Pirates ended the season in second place in the National League Central, taking one of the two wildcard spots with the Reds. This meant that the two teams would play a one-game playoff. The Pirates swept the Reds in their last three games of the season, meaning that the playoff game would be in Pittsburgh. On Twitter, Burnett and McCutchen called for a blackout at PNC Park in which more than 40,000 fans replaced their team color black and gold shirts with pure black shirts and waved black towels. The Reds started fireballer Johnny Cueto, who had to leave the opening game of the NLDS in 2012 due to back spasms, and he was noticeably nervous from the start. When he was on the mound in Pittsburgh, the fans mockingly chanted “Cueto, Cueto,”

nonstop. In the second inning, he dropped the ball then threw a fastball down the middle that Martin drove deep into the left-center stands. The Pirates won 6-2 and the city was in a state of pandemonium. In the baseball classic, “The Boys of Summer”, sportswriter Roger Kahn describes growing up as a Brooklyn Dodgers fan when they weren’t winning. “You may glory in a team triumphant, but you fall in love with a team in defeat. Losing after great striving is the story of man, who was born to sorrow, whose sweetest songs tell of saddest thought, and who, if he is a hero, does nothing in life as becomingly as leaving it.” I was so on edge for the final Game Five of the first round playoff, which the Pirates played in St. Louis, that I chose to watch it alone in my room with four views of the field on my computer. Wainwright outpitched the young Gerrit Cole. The Pirates played well, but the Cardinals simply played better. The seasonending loss didn’t feel the way the previous season-ending games had, however. My hopes weren’t crushed. I didn’t resend the Pirates or even the Cardinals. It felt the way it felt when my high school team lost in semi-finals of the state tournament. It wasn’t the Pirates team that lost; it was Pirates Nation that lost. I wanted to console Cole. I wanted to thank the whole team for such a great year. Twitter was bombarded with tweets from Pittsburgh that night. “Thanks for a great season #bucconation.” “We’ll get em next year guys #PittsburghPirates.” “Still the City of Champions.” — Contact Zak Hudak at zak.hudak@emory.edu

VOLLEYBALL

Yo, everyone, stop what you’re doing. Passion Pit is coming to Emory for Fall Band Party! Oh my god, who is that though? For those of you who are too infected by mainstream music culture (most of you), Passion Pit is an electro pop music group that has yet to garner universal acclaim. They were actually just in Atlanta recently. Twice actually. All of their Emory fans were there; it was pretty cool and stuff. Wait, so they’re a pop group that not that many people know about, and those people who do know about them just went to see them in Atlanta? Why are we paying for them to come to Emory then? We at On Fire have been asking ourselves that for weeks now. In order to cope with SPC’s self-serving idiocy, we set out on a search for the perfect Fall Band Party performer. This search began with some existential reflection. What makes the ideal Fall Band Party performer? After painstaking deliberation, we decided that the perfect Fall Band Party performer has the voice of an angel, has at least one anthemic song and has ties to Atlanta. Looking at these qualifications, there is one obvious choice: R. Kelly. R. Kelly is the Beethoven of our generation. That is a definitive fact. His voice is a combination of Carly Rae Jepsen and Jesus. If “I Believe I Can Fly” doesn’t give you goosebumps, you are not a human being. His catalogue is full of anthems. “Ignition (Remix)” is a top-five song of all time. There was recently a Change.org petition demanding it be made the new national anthem. The petition gained several thousand signatures. Everyone knows the words to it. When it comes to anthems, don’t sleep on “Bump N’ Grind.” The intro alone is the best a cappella performance since Dooley Noted ... (LOL jokes, Dooley Noted). Kelly also has ties to the Atlanta area (we are not positive about this, but probs). He is the perfect choice for Fall Band Party. Yes, he’s eccentric. Yes, he p--sed on a minor at some point. But this is the school that had Big K.R.I.T give a lecture. We lied about our admissions statistics. We told rejected high schoolers that they had been accepted. Our University President used the ThreeFifths Compromise as an example of positive compromise. What’s a “soliciting a minor for child pornography” charge among (admittedly f--ked-up) friends? We don’t see nothing wrong with a little bump n’ grind. SPC, if you’re reading this, get your act together. 2. Football

The volleyball team in action. The team, ranked fourth in the nation, suffered two losses in UAA play over the weekend to the University of Chicago and Washington University in St. Louis. The Eagles are now 24-3 on the season.

Fourth-Ranked Eagles Suffer Rare Losses in Conference By Ethan Morris Staff Writer The Emory volleyball team split its four matches during the weekend at the University Athletic Association Round Robin II at Washington University in St. Louis (Mo.). The No. 4-ranked Eagles split two contests on both Saturday and Sunday against tough competition. The squad now stands at 24-3 on the season and 5-2 in the conference. The Eagles opened up the Round Robin against the No. 19-ranked University of Chicago Maroons. The Maroons ended Emory’s 12-game winning streak with a 3-1 win (25-

20. 19-25, 25-23, 25-23). The Eagles led in most major categories, as they outhit the Maroons .171 to .163 and led in digs 82-69. Leading Emory’s effort were juniors Kate Bowman and Cat McGrath who each finished with double-digit kills and sophomore Sydney Miles who had 39 assists and five blocks. Despite the strong individual efforts, the squad was unable to produce a victory against the talented Maroons. Emory did not dwell on their loss for long, as they quickly bounced back against the 8-19 University of Rochester (N.Y.) Yellow Jackets. The Eagles won the match in straight sets

(25-8, 25-11, 25-14) and dominated every aspect of the game. Led by sophomore Ashley Crawford’s nine kills, Emory outhit Rochester .417 to -.066. Emory’s defense was equally as strong, as the Eagles led in digs 36 to 21 and in blocks 6 to 1. With this victory, the Eagles split their two matches on Saturday. Sunday’s matches featured more difficult competition for the Eagles, as Emory opened up play against the Brandeis Judges. The volleyball squad easily defeated Brandeis, winning in straight sets (25-6, 25-15, 25-11). The Eagles outhit the Judges .373 to a paltry -.039, as Crawford led the team with

10 kills and a .450 hitting percentage. Freshmen Catalina Jimenez and Sheridan Rice made use of their playing time, as each finished with a team-leading seven digs. Emory met its match yet again in the afternoon match against the host No. 11-ranked Washington University Bears. In a game between fierce rivals, each squad gave its best effort in a match that seesawed back and forth. The Bears won the first set 25-18, but the Eagles quickly responded with two straight set victories (25-20, 25-21). The fourth set was a battle as Emory led 15-13, before Wash U went on a 7-2 run to take the lead,

which they would preserve to send it to a decisive fifth set. In a close final set in which Emory led 13-9, Wash U came back to win the set 15-13 and the match. Freshman Jessica Holler led the team with 14 kills and a .370 hitting percentage, while Jimenez and sophomore Taylor Erwin each finished with 13 digs. The Bears outhit the Eagles .217 to .183, led by Caroline Dupont’s 16 kills. The Emory volleyball team’s next matches are Nov. 1-2, as the Eagles return home to host the Emory National Invitational. — Contact Ethan Morris at ethan.morris@emory.edu

Now that our R. Kelly rant is over, let’s turn back to sports. What is going on in football this year? Like, not just college football, but the NFL too. This has to be the most unpredictable season in a very long time. In the NFL, the Chiefs are the lone undefeated team. Yes, you read that correctly. Last week, the Jets beat the New England Patriots on a very questionable overtime call. The Bengals beat the Lions, the Bills beat the once 3-0 Miami Dolphins. To put it in perspective, Mr. Prinks won the Wheel Sports section’s Pick ‘Ems this week. Mr. Prinks didn’t even have a description in Storylines last week, something for which we apologize but simultaneously take absolutely no blame. Then, there’s college football. The SEC has a lot more depth this year (see Ole Miss, Tennessee and Kentucky being actually decent this year), but the top is really meh. Missouri is surprising people, sure, but are they elite? The only true elite team in the SEC is Alabama. We are usually SEC homers, but the Pac-12 and ACC might be more elite than the SEC. The ACC has Clemson and Florida State and the Pac-12 has Oregon and Stanford. Crazy. 3.

Eagles Sweep Pair of UAA Opponents By Zoe Elfenbein Staff Writer Last weekend, the women’s soccer team swept a pair of in-conference opponents, New York University (NYU) Violets and Brandeis University Judges. The Eagles topped NYU 2-1 before completing the weekend by defeating Brandeis 3-0. The Eagles propelled their University Athletic Association (UAA) record to 3-1-0 as well as their overall record to 10-3-1, maintaining their numbertwo spot in UAA, only three points behind rival Washington University in St. Louis (Mo.). The Eagles kicked off the weekend with their match against NYU on Friday, where they established a lead early on when senior centermidfielder Kelly Costopoulos scored during the second minute of play. The scoring opportunity for Costopoulos arose when junior forward Charlotte Butker took a shot on goal that rebounded off the post. Costopoulos followed up the rebound with a shot that sent the ball straight to the back of the net. The goal counted for Costopoulos’ team leading fourth of the season and Butker’s second assist of the year. Yet only 10 minutes later, NYU answered with a game-tying goal. NYU forward Melissa Menta pursued a one-on-one opportunity that ended with a shot that passed by Emory’s sophomore goalkeeper Liz Arnold. Scoreless play between the Eagles and Violets continued until the 31st minute when senior defender Lauren Drosick put Emory back on top, where they would remain for the rest of the game. Drosick took possession of the ball at midfield, where she then continued to advance down the field until she reached the opposite-side 18-yard box. Dodging two defenders, Drosick furthered her unassisted rush to goal, which ended successfully as Drosick nailed the ball into the far side of the net. This was Drosick’s first career goal. The score remained 2-1 for the rest of the match, where the Eagles

Drosick scored her first career goal in the Eagles’ 2-1 win over New York University over the weekend. maintained a defensive mindset with no shots allowed for the Violets during the second half of play. In total, Emory finished with 24 shots on goal versus NYU’s three shots. Two days later, Emory again proved victorious on the field in their game against Brandeis on Sunday. Although the final score shows a decisive 3-0 win in favor of Emory, it was a close match-up, with a scoreless first half to show. The Eagles outshot the Judges 12-3 during the first half of play, yet the score remained tied at 0-0.

As the second half unveiled, the game remained tied until the Eagles were given a corner kick. With this opportunity, Butker was able to find senior center-midfielder Clare Mullins in the six-yard box who finished the play with a shot into the upper corner of the net. The score now stood at 1-0 in favor of the Eagles. The Eagles did not let up. Later on in the second half, freshman forward Cristina Ramirez received a pass from senior defender Lauren Gorodetsky that Ramirez was able to control to eventually push the

ball past Brandeis’ goalkeeper. This counted for Ramirez’s team leading fourth goal of the season and Gorodetsky’s first season assist. The Eagles were able to cap off the win with a third and final goal during the 89th minute when junior forward Karina Rodriguez scored her third goal of the season. In the time span of four seconds, Rodriguez attempted a total of three shots on Brandeis’ goalkeeper, two of which the goalie was able to ward off, until Rodriguez was finally able to persevere with her final shot.

MEN’S SOCCER

In total, the Eagles outshot the Judges 33-8. Among those 33 shots, 17 were on goal, which attributed to Emory’s second-highest record of the year. The Eagles also finished with a season-high of 11 corner kicks against Brandeis. Arnold contributed to the defensive shutout, which marked the sixth of the season.

CROSS COUNTRY

An Ode to Baseball’s Team Tops NYU, Brandeis Squads Perform Best Underdog Well at Oberlin By Alexander Del Re Staff Writer

Zak Hudak Something extraordinary happened in Pittsburgh this baseball season. In the fifth and final game of the National League Division Series (NLDS), the Cardinals’ Adam Wainwright held the Pirates to one run to end Pittsburgh’s campaign this season. Although the Buccos’ drive to the World Series ended, the spirit of their fans did not. Instead it rose higher than ever and proved that the 2013 Pirates had captured the hearts of a city. Growing up, my father and I averaged between 20 and 30 Pirates games a year. We cheered for the Buccos and hoped above the reality of their players stats that they’d win, though they seldom did. In fact, they set a consecutive losing season record for major North American leagues at 20, from 1993 until 2013. Being born in 1994, I hadn’t seen the Pirates finish higher than .500 once. My dad and I always said, “This is the year.” We bought matching shirts that said “I Believe.” But year after year, we found ourselves heartbroken and angry at the team’s owners — Kevin McClatchy, then Robert Nutting. Stars who gave hope, most notably Brian Giles, Aramis Ramírez, and Jason Bay, were traded not to make the team better but to cut the team’s salary. It has been said that teams like the Pirates were looked at by the players as another level of the

minors — not really a Major League team but quad-A, in between AAA and the Majors. Players would hope to do well enough in Pittsburgh to get signed by real teams like the Yankees or Red Sox. After the 2010 season, the Pirates hired Clint Hurdle as their new manager. Hurdle, a recovering alcoholic and former Major Leaguer who loves his team like family, was one of the catalysts who created a team the city could love. An ESPN article gives examples of emails Hurdle sends to his players, his players families, his family and his friends. They include motivational quotes and stories — something needed in a discouraged franchise. When the Pirates were a game out of first place, his email quoted Albert Einstein: “I never worry about the future. It comes soon enough.” Hurdle might have believed in the Pirates, but the city surely didn’t start off on the same page. In Hurdle’s first two years, the team was above .500 at the All Star Break, then faltered and went on to finish in fourth place. One PNC Park diehard, Dr. Ed, as he is known by all the regular season ticket holders near the front row on the Pirate dugout, regularly sports his retro 1970s flat top, striped Pirate hat and incongruous 1960 jersey. On special occasions, the physician wears a full Caribbean pirate costume. Days after the Pirates won a game giving them the best record in baseball, I told Dr. Ed I thought we might make it to the Series this year. “No, Zak!” he shouted out of a mouth filled with peanuts, shells and all. “I’m not getting my hopes up again.” He had been heartbroken too many

The men’s soccer team extended their undefeated streak to six games and moved back into first place in the University Athletic Association (UAA) with a pair of wins this weekend against the Brandeis University Judges and New York University (NYU) Violets. The Eagles played both games at home at the Woodruff P.E. Center. Head Coach Sonny Travis he was very pleased with his team’s performance. “[I am] very proud of this team,” Travis said. “They continue to push each other. We have received attack contributions from many players at different times.” Emory has gone 5-0-1 during their undefeated streak and has improved their record to 10-3-1 overall. The victories allowed Emory to maintain their lead with just three UAA games left on the schedule. “We have worked hard up to this practice, pushing ourselves in practice everyday and the results are showing,” sophomore Matt Sherr said. “Being at the top of the UAA at this point of conference games is a great feeling, but there is a lot more work to be done.” The first game of the weekend was against NYU during which Emory notched a 2-0 victory. The Eagles took the lead in the 34th minute behind a strike from the team’s leading scorer, junior co-captain Dylan Price. The scoring play began in the Eagle’s defensive third where Sherr took possession and launched a long forward pass to Price. Price was able to beat the defender and slide the ball past the goalie for his eighth goal of the season. Sherr was credited with his second assist of the year.

Freshman forward Darion Morgan looks for a shot on goal. Morgan helped the Eagles to a pair of weekend wins. Emory immediately extended their lead after halftime when junior Michael Rheaume scored his fourth goal of the season in the 47th minute. Junior co-captain Noah Rosen took a shot off a throw-in by junior Jeffrey Cochran that ricocheted off the post directly to Rheaume who tapped the ball in to score. Rosen was credited with his first assist of the season. “One of our primary advantages is our depth and being able to plug people in off the bench without a drop in performance,” Sherr said. The Eagle defense put up another strong effort in recording its second straight shutout. Sophomore goalkeeper Abe Hannigan earned his sec-

ond straight and fifth overall shutout of the season. Hannigan saved each of the Violets’ three shots on goal. “Our defense has been outstanding led by goalkeeper Abe Hannigan and defenders Matt Sherr and Noah Rosen,” Travis said. Against Brandeis University, Emory scored three unanswered goals, including a pair from Price. Emory upset the 12th-ranked team 3-1. “Dylan Price is back on track, scoring key goals,” Travis said. The Eagles fell behind just 21 seconds into the match as the Judges
