CC to Reduce Club Funds For Rest of Fall Semester Council Officials Say Most Clubs Have Already Been Granted Money By Jordan Friedman Executive Editor College Council (CC) declared a financial state of emergency Wednesday night, meaning CC will reduce the amount of money it allocates to student organizations’ events for the rest of the semester. CC Co-Chief of Staff and College senior Bisi Adeyemo attributed CC’s diminished finances in its contingency account to the increase in the number of chartered clubs on campus as well as a rise in the amount of funding each club has been requesting. A financial state of emergency does not indicate that CC is bankrupt, according to College sophomore Reuben Lack, CC’s budget committee chair. Rather, he told the Wheel, it means that the total amount of money CC would be able to allocate to student organizations at a given meeting has been reduced from an average of $6,000 to an average of $3,500. The drop below a $6,000 average per meeting — which Lack said indicates the necessity to slow down spending — was determined by dividing the total number of general body meetings remaining for the semester from the total amount of money left in CC’s contingency account. CC has $14,000 left in its contingency account, which is used to fund groups’ events and comes from the $89 Student Activity Fee students pay as part of their tuition. With only four meetings left for the semester, CC would be able to allocate an average of only $3,500 per meeting for the remainder of the fall.

The contingency account is different from the allocated account, which CC uses to fund CC-sponsored events like State of Race and Culture Shock as well as CC retreats. This fund has about $125,000 left. “We aren’t going into debt as an organization,” Lack said, adding that it would have been impossible for CC to predict the financial situation. “Clubs that come for the next few budget committee meetings will receive a smaller amount than they requested.” Adeyemo said she is not too concerned about the financial situation, given that most clubs have already requested their funding for the semester. She said more clubs have requested money earlier in the semester because the last CC legislature decided to hold budget meetings once a month rather than once a week. “It sounds bad that we’re in a financial state of emergency,” Adeyemo said. “Since most clubs have already come for their events for the semester, we’re not entirely worried about it.” On Wednesday night, student organizations that attended CC’s legislative session found out they will receive 10 percent less funding than they were expecting, Lack explained. To receive funding, student organizations must first consult with CC’s Budget Committee, which makes a “suggestion or recommendation” on how much funding CC should allocate. CC legislators can then accept

Rap artist B.o.B. requested an audience of 20 Emory students through WMRE, Emory’s radio station, for a focus group yesterday to provide suggestions and critiques on his upcoming new album.

WMRE Brings B.o.B for Focus Group By Kyle Arbuckle Contributing Writer Popular rap artist B.o.B gave an intimate listening session in White Hall last night for his upcoming third solo album Underground Luxury. Students were asked to come prepared to critique the album and ask questions. College senior and WMRE General Manager Wilma Qiu said B.o.B contacted the Emory studentrun radio station last Wednesday to coordinate the session. She then selected about 20 to 25 people to be a part of the focus group. “I looked for a lot of people who I knew had a vested interest in hip-hop and knew his music,” Qiu said. “We looped in a few people who hadn’t listened to him as much so we could get

people who could just be a consumer of music.” Qiu said the event was scheduled for Monday but had to be shifted to last night due to B.o.B’s travel schedule. B.o.B’s manager Brian “B-Rich” Rich headed the session asked attendees to put their phones on the floor so no one could record the songs. Rich played the whole album and requested student feedback after each track, asking the audience to be blunt. Some of the students thought this album was some of the artist’s best work while others felt it was boring. B.o.B was absent for this part of the event because he was running late. He entered the room after all the tracks had been played. He wore a dark green plaid shirt, shades, leather

pants, Polo combat boots, gold chains and rings. He apologized for his lateness. Rich asked that everyone relay everything said to B.o.B, which led into a question-and-answer session. B.o.B said his favorite track on the album was “Fly Motherf--ka’” because of the instrumentals on that track. He also said he really likes “Throwback” and “Forever.” He stated “Don’t Let Me Fall,” off of his debut studio album B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray, was his favorite song he has ever done, as some of the audience nodded in agreement. “I try not to get in my own way as an artist because even though I may think it’s the best, someone else might not,” he said. “I do what I like but season it for the palate of the music connoisseur.”

ACADEMICS

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

B.o.B. described what it was like working with hip-hop superstar and fellow Atlanta native Future. They both attended Columbia High School in Decatur, Ga. “We’re both Scorpios, and we’re cool because we’re from the same side of town,” he said. Qiu asked the artist what his biggest influence was. B.o.B said chill, instrumental electronic dance music (EDM), not dubstep EDM, is what he listens to the most other than hip-hop. B.o.B explained that he titled the album Underground Luxury because while he was growing up, he had no walls or furniture. “We came from nothing,” he said. “But we tried to make ‘nothing’ luxurious.”

Autism Center, Airport Collaborate By Alyssa Posklensky Staff Writer Emory University’s Autism Center is working with Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to train airport employees to assist those with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). According to an Oct 24. University press release, the program — the first of its kind — is part of the Advocate With Autism Resources

and Education (AWARE) initiative which aims to educate the community about ASD. The program was available to up to 50 people and took place during the morning of Oct. 29 at the airport, according to the press release. Lauren Castriota, psychologist at the Emory Autism Center and director of the AWARE initiative, led the program. She said the training used examples relevant to each airport sce-

The Department of Theater Studies and the Creative Writing Program will collaborate to launch a new playwriting fellowship in fall 2014. The position will be similar to existing fellowships in fiction and poetry in that it is a teaching position that lasts for two years until a new fellow is chosen. The first fellowship ends May 2016. Applications for the position will be accepted through Dec. 2. The new fellow will teach a playwriting workshop, a dramatic literature course and another course specific to his or her strengths and area of expertise, according to Director of the Playwriting Center of Theater Emory Lisa Paulsen. The two departments have joined forces for many years now in playwriting classes, a student playwriting festival and the Playwriting major which combines elements from Creative Writing and Theater Studies, Paulsen said. Senior Resident Fellow in Creative Writing Jim Grimsley wrote in an email to the Wheel that the new position would positively affect the two departments. “We already have a strong relationship between the two units of the College, and the process of jointly selecting this person will solidify our work as partners,” he wrote. Candidates must have received a Master of Fine Arts or a Ph.D. within

the last five years. According to Paulsen, this will yield a younger set of applicants with a different perspective than more experienced playwrights in the department because they have just come out of studying the craft and are about to embark on their careers. “They’re in the process of honing their own writing skills as they’re mentoring somebody else,” Paulsen said. She added that the fellowship is also a great learning experience for an emerging playwright looking to gain teaching experience. The fellow will also develop a new work while at Emory that will be presented at the Brave New Works festival, Paulsen said. According to Paulsen, a committee comprised of professors from the two disciplines will narrow the candidates down and will invite the top two or three applicants in the spring for the Brave New Works festival of new plays. The festival is a showcase that students and faculty use to test the dramatic impact of new works on the stage. “I’ll be looking for a playwright who has a strong voice in her or his work, and who can also demonstrate a strong commitment to teaching,” wrote Grimsley, who will select the top candidates with Paulsen. Grimsley added that the new position will enable the Creative Writing Department to teach more fiction, which is the area of greatest need.

The Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing recently accepted $6.5 million from the Helene Fuld Trust to fund its Palliative Care Fellowship Program. The program, which begins in May, provides an opportunity for students receiving a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Master of Science in Nursing to pursue leadership roles as nurse practitioners or nurse midwives. The Fuld Fellows for Palliative Care offers two student positions for a scholarship covering half of the tuition, four semesters of a Bachelor in Nursing and four semesters of a Master in Nursing (MSN). Assistant Dean for MSN Education Carolyn Clevenger said there is a myriad of opportunities available for students through the fellowship. “To be in this program, we’re really setting you up for success,” she said. “We expect, within five years of being out into practice, that they will be directing palliative care centers and leading palliative care services.” Unlike most accelerated students

The bill, among the most restrictive in the U.S., was signed into law in July despite Sen. Wendy Davis’ 11-hour filibuster. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, Davis’ main opponent in the campaign for Texas governor, is expected to file an emergency appeal to the federal regional appeals court in New Orleans.

Emory University celebrated Halloween this week with a festival themed Wonderful Wednesday at Asbury Circle. Costume-clad zombies and ghostbusters tried to scare students walking by, and students were also able to hold a giant snake. One of the booth gave students the opportunity to paint small pumpkins. Relay for Life, an organization that hosts events to increase awareness and raise money for cancer research, hosted a face painting station to promote their efforts. Emory Pride, an LGBTQ and ally organization, dressed the Dooley statue in a wig and dress.

SUSTAINABILITY

OSI Gives Six ‘Sustainability Innovator’ Awards By Naomi Maisel Staff Writer The Office of Sustainability Initiatives (OSI) awarded six Emory affiliates the Sustainability Innovator award for their dedication to sustainability related projects. OSI awarded Jane Duggan, anesthesiologist at Emory University Hospital Midtown and an assistant professor of anesthesiology in the School of Medicine; Kyle Griffith, complex director for Few and Evans Residence Halls; Kirk Hines, registered horticultural therapist; Raghu Patil, senior program associate in the Office of Finance and Operations at Oxford College; Randy Sims, director of facilities management at Emory University Hospital Midtown; and Leah Yngve, a second-year student at Rollins School of Public Health. According to OSI Sustainability Programs Coordinator Emily Cumbie-Drake, the OSI nominates individuals for the awards annually in the fall. The OSI staff selects final recipients. Cumbie-Drake added that the OSI tries to split up the awards equally among students, faculty and staff. Each recipient is honored with a plaque containing a photo of a sustainability-related image. The recipients, the OSI website states, are awarded for the time

and effort they put into furthering Emory University’s goal of maintaining a sustainable college campus through various avenues such as education, waste reduction and energy conservation. According to Cumbie-Drake, these awards are important to the community because they recognize individuals outside of the Office of Sustainability who implement sustainable projects while inspiring others to do the same. The award was renamed the Robert S. Hascall Sustainability Innovator Award in 2010 to honor Bob Hascall, who led the University’s Campus Services, according to the OSI website. According to the website, Hascall championed sustainability initiatives at Emory and put great effort into implementing programs that reflected these goals, including the construction of the first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Existing Buildings (LEED-EB) Gold building in the U.S. Leah Yngve, second-year student at Rollins School of Public Health, received the award this year for her effort in making both Emory and Atlanta bike-friendly and changing people’s perceptions of Atlanta as a city a person cannot bike in, according to Yngve. “It was a complete surprise when I

was notified that I’d be receiving [the award] and very rewarding,” Yngve said. Another recipient of the award, Kirk Hines, is a horticultural therapist at Emory’s Wesley Woods Hospital and said he was honored to receive the award. Hines said he has spent the last 20 years developing the Horticultural Therapy program at the hospital. He added that the program allows patients to plant, sow and ultimately take home vegetables, herbs and flowers that they grew themselves as a form of therapy. Hines said some of the plants are donated to Emory’s Educational Gardens, giving great pleasure to the patients who, Hines said, enjoy knowing that the plants they grew were going to teach sustainability and a love of gardening. Yngve said she is currently working on a bicycle and pedestrian road safety audit of North Decatur and Clifton that will make the area safer for people that are not traveling in cars. Hines, on the other hand, said he will be moving his horticulture therapy program to A.G. Rhodes Health and Rehab, a non-profit in Atlanta, due to the program being cut, effective Nov. 1. — Contact Naomi Maisel at namaise@emory.edu

PEDAGOGY MEETS PERFORMANCE

‘End-Of-Life’ Care Falls Under Palliative Care, Experts Say Continued from Page 1 in the School of Nursing who complete an immersion course, students in the palliative care program are required to go to clinical placements specializing in palliative care. While most students in the school have the option of taking an additional honors research course, Fuld Fellows are required to do so. Clevenger teamed up with the Professor and Associate Dean for Research in the School of Nursing Kenneth Hepburn, Development Officer Amy Dorrill and Emory’s Director of the Palliative Care Center Tammie Quest to obtain funding for the program. The four worked together to come up with the idea for the program, submit a letter of intent and ultimately submit a full proposal to the Fuld Trust. Associate Director of Outcomes Research at the Winship Cancer Institute Deborah Watkins Bruner described palliative care as the complex holistic care of people facing end-of-life or life-threatening illnesses. “There is more to palliative care, and it has become a lot broader,” Bruner said. “We cure some patients, but others are unable to be cured. But they’re still going to live a fairly long

number of years with extremely serious chronic illness.” Both Bruner and Clevenger refuted the common misconception that palliative care is “end-of-life” care. According to Clevenger, “end-of-life” care falls under palliative care as only a small part of it. School of Nursing Instructor Corrine Abraham said she believes the program has a lot of potential. “The climate and the culture attracts a lot of people,” Abraham said. “It’s just another reason for the School of Nursing to be a destination school, and we recruit people who have that passion.” A major goal of the Palliative Care Fellowship Program is to promote leadership among its students. “It will facilitate recruitment of students that will then provide leadership within the student body,” Abraham said. “It’s also a mechanism for strengthening our relationships with our clinical partners, as well as enhancing our relationships with our inner professional colleagues.” Applications will be posted on the School of Nursing website within the next month. They will be due Jan. 15, and interviews for the program will be conducted mid-March. — Contact Catherine Pilishvili at cpilish@emory.edu

Paulsen Says Lack Says CC Needs to Be Major Is Cross- More Selective in Club Funding Disciplinary Continued from Page 1

Continued from Page 1 Paulsen said the fellowship will bring something new to Emory. “We want them to become part of our community here,” she said. “We’re looking for somebody that would be inclined to use the fact that they’re in a really dynamic university to effect and change their work.” To fund the fellowship, the founders had to convince the University administration that playwriting fits in with Emory’s liberal arts pursuits, according to Paulsen. “I feel quite strongly that as a study, [playwriting] is inherently cross-disciplinary,” Paulsen said. “The play is a skeleton, and there are other artists that come in and embody it, speak it, pace it, design it and do all kinds of other things that affect the meaning of it.” Paulsen said she hopes the new position will be a beneficial model for majors and challenge and suggest improvements for the existing program. College senior and Playwriting major Anna Millard agreed that the new fellowship will end up benefiting majors. “I think it’s a fantastic way to provide more resources for the fledgling major while supporting an up-andcoming playwright,” Millard said. — Contact Rupsha Basu at rupsha.basu@emory.edu

or amend the committee’s recommendation, Lack said. This week, CC reduced all Budget Committee recommendations by 10 percent. In the future, though, Lack said, clubs will likely receive more than 10 percent less funding than they anticipated. Among the groups at last night’s meeting was the Taiwanese American Student Association (TASA), which is planning a potluck dinner with the Vietnamese Student Association, Filipino Student Association and the Japanese Cultural Club. College senior and TASA President Justin Ho said the organizations may have to make slight adjustments to the event but will use some of the club’s own money due to the reductions. “Because of the nature of our event, it’s much easier for us to take off a dish or two,” he said. “College Council is doing their best to accommodate us as well as other groups, so we understand.” Had the last-minute change not been made, Lack said, CC would only have had about $10,000 left for the rest of the semester. CC has proposed a number of long-term solutions to the situation as well, Lack said. Though CC does have the ability to transfer money from its allocated account to the contingency fund, CC has decided that this is not the best course of action, according to Lack. “We feel any sort of transfers

between our accounts would be shortterm and would only postpone what was going to be happening for the rest of the semester,” Lack said. Instead, CC will be altering what Lack described as the “84 percent rule.” If the total amount of allocated funding is below $2,000 for a given student group, Lack explained, CC agrees to pay 84 percent of that number. The rest of the funding comes from the student group itself. CC will also reduce the proportion of funds given to organizations that request more than $2,000 using a formula, Lack said. These changes would require a vote from the CC legislature. Lack said CC also needs to increase the scrutiny of events when student organizations present their requests at CC meetings. He said CC will ensure that student organizations advertise an event in a way that ensures any College student — rather than just club members — are aware that it is taking place. CC is also in discussions with the Student Government Association (SGA) to determine whether it would be possible to increase the amount of money CC receives from the University-wide student activities fee split, Lack said. “We are nowhere near entering into any kind of red zone,” Lack said. “It’s the club account that has been diminished greatly.” — Contact Jordan Friedman at jordan.friedman@emory.edu

Airport Employees Receive Badge For AWARE Training Continued from Page 1 2011. The Center hosted a group of young adults with autism and taught them how to traverse the airport. Castriola said a need exists for airport staff training. “The need became apparent [in 2011] that the airport staff also needed to be trained on the other end so they could better understand and interact with individuals with ASD,” Castriota said. All participants received a badge or window sticker for their office with an AWARE graphic to inform

the public that they had been trained. They will also receive biweekly follow up emails, according to Castriota. Castriota added that families who have visited a training site can provide anonymous feedback about the experience. Many airport employees have expressed interest in the program, according to Bausley-Williams. “There are a number of employees here at the airport that have children with Autism,” Bausley-Williams said. “I have a 13-year-old son who does, so this program is especially meaningful to us.”

Any employee who interacts with the public is eligible for training, which includes Transportation Security Administration agents, airline employees, customer service representatives and restaurant workers. Castriota said feedback on the training has been positive. She added that future training might be conducted with individual airport departments in addition to other locations in the community where employees interact with people with ASD. — Contact Alyssa Posklensky at alyssa.posklensky@emory.edu

Brown U. Lecture Canceled Amid Protest By Jillian Lanney and Carolynn Cong The Brown Daily Herald, Brown University A lecture by New York City Police Department Commissioner Raymond Kelly scheduled for Tuesday afternoon was canceled after protesters halted Kelly’s speech and would not yield the floor. Controversy preceded the talk — titled, “Proactive Policing in America’s Biggest City” — due to its speaker’s staunch support for the contentious stop-and-frisk policy. The event was presented by the Taubman Center for Public Policy and American Institutions as part of the Noah Krieger ’93 Memorial Lecture series. Student protest actions leading up to the event included creating a petition and holding a vigil in honor of victims of racial profiling, The Herald previously reported. After administrators rejected demands laid out in the petition, protest efforts expanded, according to a press release distributed by the event’s protesters. Around 100 students and community members gathered outside List Art Center about an hour before the lecture was scheduled to start, chanting phrases such as, “Ray Kelly, you can’t hide, we charge you with homicide” and holding signs reading “Stop police brutality,” “Systemic Racism,” “Brown is complicit” and “Ray(cist) Kelly,” among others. The event took place in a packed List 120, forcing some to watch from an overflow room in List 110. Marion Orr, director of the Taubman Center, introduced Kelly and acknowledged the protesters’ presence. He said that while “protest is a necessary and acceptable means of demonstration at Brown University,” interrupting the lecture would be inappropriate because it would hinder others’ ability to listen and engage with Kelly. Protesters reacted vocally to mentions of Kelly and his policies throughout Orr’s introduction. When Kelly himself took the stage, protesters’ boos mixed with applause. As soon as he began to speak, many protesters stood with their fists in the air and began shouting in unison, after which neither Kelly nor Vice President for Campus Life and Student Services Margaret Klawunn and Vice President for Public Affairs and University Relations Marisa Quinn — two administrators present — could regain control of the auditorium. “People felt very passionately and they wanted to share those stories,” said Esteban Ronancio ’15, who was not present in the auditorium but participated in the broader protest. Protesters shouted various chants, including, “No justice, no peace, no racist police.” Others shouted that Kelly’s policies have been responsible for suppressing the voices of people of color and that Kelly did not

deserve a platform at Brown. “I have never seen in my 15 years at Brown the inability to have a dialogue,” Quinn said as she attempted to quiet the auditorium and resume. After about a half-hour of attempts to continue the lecture, administrators decided to cancel the event. Many individuals involved in the protest said they were pleased with the turnout and the results. “Our goal was for the lecture to be canceled from the beginning,” said Irene Rojas-Carroll ’15, one of the mobilizers behind the protest. Rojas-Carroll previously told The Herald she felt there was no format in which Kelly would be an appropriate speaker at Brown. Among the protesters were members of organizations in the greater Providence community, including Direct Action for Right and Equality, a group that seeks social, economic and political justice for people of color. As the protest filtered into the building, some re-enacted a 2006 demonstration by the now-defunct Coalition for Police Accountability and Institutional Transparency, which had been formed in response to allegations of institutionalized racism and abuse by the Department of Public Safety and the Providence Police Department. Protestors read emotionally charged accounts of racial discrimination by police officers, which were originally shared at the 2006 rally. After the event, protesters gathered in front of List and gave speeches in celebration and commitment to continuing efforts against racial profiling. “I think it was very clear that a huge number of students support” the protest, Rojas-Carroll said. Protesters voiced concerns that the event, and in extension the Taubman Center and the University, had condoned racial profiling. “Presenting him in this place of honor is not just upsetting, but frustrating and angering,” said Camila Pacheco-Fores ’14, who attended the event in protest. Many other students expressed frustration that Kelly was denied the opportunity to speak. “It would have been more effective to take part in a discussion rather than flat out refuse to have him speak,” said Denise Yoon ’17. At one point during the disruption, Chris Piette ’14 stood up to counter the protesters and was quickly interrupted. “You’re angry for a good reason,” he said, “but your volume and your inability to listen is quieting my voice.” Piette later told The Herald that though he identifies as a racial minority and is “no stranger to racial discrimination,” the way to reach progress is not through anger. The protesters “were too loud and angry to realize their voices were not the only ones that matter,” Piette said.

Jamelle Watson-Daniels ’15 said she has found a lack of acceptance for opposing perspectives at Brown. She arrived at the lecture in protest after hearing about it at a Black Student Union meeting but said she felt the protest’s organizers had misrepresented the event to make the Taubman Center seem completely unresponsive to student concerns about the “racial implications” of Kelly’s policies. She said she was surprised to learn the lecture would have a questionand-answer portion that would allow students to engage with Kelly. “Open-mindedness runs both ways. You have to be able to hear both sides of the coin. It’s disappointing if we can’t, and then we can’t have a dialogue,” said Torin CollierMark ’17. Orr said the Taubman Center had made efforts to respond to student concerns about lack of dialogue by creating an expanded time period for audience members to ask the commissioner questions. Kelly was slated to speak for around 20 to 25 minutes and spend the rest of his time responding to questions. “I think it’s a crying shame that people didn’t get to hear Raymond Kelly respond to his critics,” said Ross Cheit, a professor of political science and public policy at the Taubman Center. Various University officials and administrators expressed surprise and disappointment with the lecture’s cancellation. “I don’t recall in my years here a time when a lecture was stopped based on the crowd disrupting the speaker,” said Mark Porter, chief of police for DPS. Deputy Chief of Police for DPS Paul Shanley added that though DPS was there to make sure the protest did not get out of control, the shutdown was not for fear of a public safety risk. DPS does not “take sides,” he said. “The conduct of disruptive members of the audience is indefensible and an affront both to civil democratic society and to the University’s core values of dialogue and the free exchange of views,” President Christina Paxson wrote in a statement. In an email to the community, Paxson wrote that she has asked Klawunn to organize a forum to “discuss our values and expectations as a community.” Paxson also wrote that she would reach out to Kelly “to convey (her) deepest regret for the manner in which he was treated.” Klawunn said the University does not plan to pursue disciplinary action against the students who disrupted the lecture. Following the cancelation, Quinn said the University might have to review its policy of allowing all members of the community, as opposed to only individuals with Brown IDs, into the event. Orr said it is unclear at this time what, if any, impact this event will have on future lectures at Brown.

College editorials from across the country The Harvard Crimson Harvard University Wednesday, October 23, 2013 In its staff editorial, “TFA Is a Positive Force” The Harvard Crimson makes the case for Teach for America. The board argues that the program offers a practical solution to a real problem: a shortage of talented teachers in low-income schools. The board concludes that critics should offer constructive solutions rather than focusing on its shortcomings. Recruiting season has come to Harvard, and while the rest of us are worrying about our midterms and papers, the Class of 2014 has begun the lengthy process of job searching. Many current seniors will go on to work for tech firms or investment banks, but if the last few years are any indicator, an equally substantial portion of them will apply to and take positions with Teach For America—a controversial program that aims to send highly-qualified college graduates to teach in high-need school districts for periods of two years. The program is not without its faults, but imperfection is no cause for condemnation. TFA is a worthwhile institution not only because it improves education for students across the country, but also because it is uniquely positioned to work toward positive change in our country’s educational system. In America’s current educational system, students from top schools have little incentive to pursue careers as teachers. American teachers are expected to perform a very difficult job for relatively low salaries and are less valued culturally than most of their counterparts around the world. In most American school districts, hiring decisions are based upon seniority — which means that there is little job security for young, aspiring teachers. Looking for a place to begin a career, American college graduates see teaching as a low-paying option with little stability. There are doubtless high-achieving students who choose teaching over more lucrative options, but the vast majority appears to do otherwise: Most students enrolled in fouryear teaching programs graduated in the bottom half of their high school classes. This is certainly not to say that students who don’t graduate at the top of their classes cannot

be fine educators. But equally certain is that there is something backward about a system of incentives that that fails to attract our top students to a profession so crucial to the nation’s future as teaching. Teaching accreditation programs also seem to be doing a poor job of educating their students. In countries with world-renowned education systems like Finland, teaching programs appear to be much more rigorous and much more competitive. These countries also pay their teachers respectable salaries. Until America affords its teachers greater pay and respect, we simply cannot expect large numbers of highly qualified individuals to enter the profession. Teach for America is valuable because it provides at least a temporary solution to America’s educational problems. By providing a secure and alluring temporary teaching position, it puts graduates from top schools into high-need schools across the country. Former corps members and their students largely attest to the program’s value, and may TFA members continue to teach or advocate for education reform. A recent study suggests that students learn math better from TFA teachers than from first-year teachers coming from traditional teacher-training programs. The program is not without its problems, but critics should focus on improving the program rather than on calling for its dissolution. Some critics allege that the program does not provide enough training or support to new teachers, who often feel overwhelmed on the job. TFA should address this problem and be more meticulous about helping its recruits throughout their employment. The temporary nature of the position also makes it appear like a “quick fix” to a much larger problem —TFA should focus some energy on long-term problems like low teacher pay and dubious education programs, and on encouraging even more of its recruits to stay in the profession. In an ideal world, teaching would attract enough highly qualified and motivated students that TFA would no longer serve a purpose. But that is not the world we live in. Until then, TFA should be seen as a positive force in improving the education of high-need students across the country.

Editorial Roundup College editorials from across the country The Michigan Daily University of Michigan Ann Arbor Wednesday, October 30, 2013 In its staff editorial, “More Forward Fairly with FAFSA” The Michigan Daily argues that for the process of filling out financial aid to be beneficial for both students and institutions, instead of ranking schools by preference they should be alphabetized. This fall, millions of prospective college students around the nation will be filling out their Free Application for Federal Student Aid, to determine if they are eligible for financial aid. The FAFSA allows students to list 10 schools where they would like their form to be submitted; many students, however, are unaware that some colleges use these rankings to inform their admission decision. In some cases, depending on how students ranked schools, university admission offices use that list to determine how much aid to grant students, often offering less money to students who rank their university highest. Universities are concealing their use of these FAFSA lists in order to best gauge student interest and save money, but a lack of transparency creates inaccurate surveys and hurts both schools and students. The fact that the admissions process considers how students prioritize their potential schools in the FAFSA needs to become common knowledge in order for both sides to benefit. According to the College Board, more than two-thirds of full-time undergraduate students receive some type of financial aid in the form of grants, scholarships or work-study. Filling out the FAFSA provides a gateway to the nine federal student-aid grants, the 605 state student-aid program and most of the institutional aid available. It includes more than 100 questions about a student’s assets, income and dependency that are used alongside several

other factors to determine a student’s financial aid eligibility. The form notes that the information included can be sent to state agencies that will be awarding the student’s aid, but it fails to mention that the same information will be sent to individual colleges — let alone used by these schools as a calculated admission tool. Universities have found that their ranking on the FAFSA list is a very reliable tool in determining a student’s commitment to that institutions. W. Kent Barnds, executive vice president of Augustana College, shared with CBS News. com that 60 percent of students who list Augustana first on their FAFSA list end up enrolling — a much higher percentage when compared to 30 percent of those who listed it second and the 10 percent who listed it third. The lack of transparency around this tactic is unfair to those students who rank schools unaware of how the information can be used, both in determining a student’s admission and financial aid package. Counselors who are aware of this secretive, but strategic admission tool have advised their students to list the schools alphabetically to avoid disclosing their preferences. Students who are aware of this policy may rearrange their list to game the system, leaving other students at a disadvantage. The institutions also suffer because when students are not aware of this process, the information listed is less accurate, and therefore less useful for the schools. Last Friday, InsideHigherEd contacted the U.S. Department of Education about this issue, and they said they will “review the longstanding practice of sharing the FAFSA positions with every college.” The department should undoubtedly work to make this a more transparent process that cannot adversely affect those who are unaware of how their information is being used.

Divest and Go Fossil Free BRETT LICHTENBERG

As an opinionated writer and aspiring journalist, looking back at my portfolio of Wheel articles these past two years, I’ve come to realize that perhaps I’ve been addressing too many of the obvious issues. From departmental cuts and elections to the economy and foreign policy, the stories on which I’ve editorialized have been rather consistent. Yes, there’s no doubt that my opinions definitely bleed red (think elephants), but for this piece I decided to find some green in my bloodstream. Last week, I came across an article in The New York Times titled, “A Closer Look at Harvard’s Choice on Fossil Fuels.” The article, written by environmentalist Andrew Revkin, discusses a recent announcement by Harvard University President Drew Faust: “that university divestment from the fossil fuel industry is [not] warranted or wise.” Although I like to hope I know a thing or two about climate change, this past week HE MORY HEEL I’ve come to discover that there is a national Arianna Skibell EDITOR-IN-CHIEF campaign on a subject matter that I know absolutely nothing about.

Send e-mail to askibel@emory.edu or postal mail to The Emory Wheel, to another with no turning back (example: the Drawer W, Emory University, Atlanta, Ga. 30322. catastrophic melting of the ice caps). So, what does 350.org have anything to do

with divestment? The organization’s members have spread to college campuses to motivate students to promote awareness and petition their administrations to freeze and divest from direct ownership and commingled funds (public equities and corporate bonds) that finance and support the burning of fossil fuels. According to 350.org’s “Go Fossil Free” campaign, there are more than 200 publicly traded companies that hold the vast majority of the world’s coal, oil and gas reserves. The campaign’s tag line is: “if it is wrong to wreck the climate, then it is wrong to profit from that wreckage.” Harvard is one of the nation’s largest platforms for student activism and holds the country’s highest endowment of approximately $31 billion. The administrators there have seen a push by its student body, asking the school to divest. In early October, the administration issued a letter maintaining their position that divestment is not a good idea. President Faust asserted that the University’s endowment supports school operations and scholarships and that an endowment shift “would appear to position the University as a political actor rather than an academic institution.” Although this response seems negative, the tree-loving people at “Go Fossil Free,” wrote, “this is the fight we’ve been waiting for ... students are not backing down—they’re getting more fired up by the day.” Harvard isn’t the only university where students are getting “fired up” about climate change. Emory University has gone to great lengths in the promotion of environmental awareness and positive activism. In 2010, Emory completed the Whitehead Biomedical Research Building, the first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)certified building in the Southeast. Not only will the LEED buildings’ construction save the University water and energy costs, but they will also help Emory reach its energy conservation goals. Everywhere you walk there are recycle-friendly trash bins, signs of awareness, educational gardens, sustainability programs and much more. Among Emory’s “Points of Pride” on the University’s website homepage is “Advancing Sustainability.”

Emory is on the forefront of environmental research, support and activism—there is no doubting that. Additionally, Emory students are taking initiative and joining the “Go Fossil Free” campaign. Led by Taylor McNair (’16C) and Camilla Schramek (’16C), “Divest Emory,” a grass-roots student-run campaign, has a petition with over 400 student and faculty signatures requesting that the administration sit down and discuss the University’s investment portfolio. The group’s ultimate goal is for Emory to either actively announce that they do not invest in fossil fuels or that they are committed to freezing any current investment opportunities and divesting from all public equities and corporate bonds that fund the burning of fossil fuels within the next five years. GreenReportCard.org is a website that rates universities and institutions on their sustainability efforts and green initiatives. Emory received an overall “B,” with “A’s” in areas such as student involvement, transportation and buildings. However, the grade was negatively skewed by a “C” in “Endowment Transparency.” Emory students are asking for increased transparency and a look at exactly where funding is going. Although this movement is fairly new, it has successfully spread across the country and “Go Fossil Free’s” members are now embarking on a European tour. Leaders of 19 cities in the United States including San Francisco, Seattle and Providence, as well as six universities, have officially committed to divestment. Like I said, I usually bleed red, looking to question President Obama or over-analyze the state of the economy. Through simple research and exploration, I’ve been exposed to a subject matter that has honestly never really held a dear place in my heart. “Divest Emory” will be meeting at Eagles Landing in the Dobbs University Center on Nov. 6, 2013. Although I’d often throw out those types of flyers or ignore the Facebook posts, I think I know exactly where I’ll be this Wednesday.

OP  ED

The School That Was Too Certain for Curiosity Problems Present in Pre-Professional Mindsets at Emory and Beyond AMI FIELDS-MEYER “Do you know what the most common question philosophy majors ask after college is?” “No, what is it?” “‘Do you want fries with that?’” I cringe and log another mental tally mark. Mr. Adler — a member of my local community — is trying to warn me. He wants to protect me and point me in the right direction. To him, I’m a lost dog who’s veered off the path and is unable to find his way home. This isn’t the first time I’ve tasted this flavor of advice. I’m used to the suggestion that my study choices — history and philosophy — render me unemployable. That I’ll be impotent and lost in the post-collegiate job market seems to be a natural consequence of the deadly fusion of multiple interests and an uncertainty in course. The comments seem to drip with more and more condescension as I careen further and faster down the track to my worthless diploma. I don’t argue with Mr. Adler, though. Instead, I smile and with an uneasy chuckle, tell him not to worry about me — that I have it figured out. But I want to say more. I want to tell him that I don’t have it figured out. Not all the details, anyway. I want to tell Mr. Adler about my school, where the lawns are manicured, the shirts are starched and the fraternity houses employ cleaning crews to mop up after Friday night’s festivities. I want to tell him about the corridors of prestige and privilege, where ambitious 20-somethings walk at a brisk pace toward a ticket of admission to the highest echelons of American society. I want to explain to him why I’m spending my evenings in conversation with Thoreau and Beckett instead of trying to fit into a pre-professional study course that feels like a hand-me-down sweater two sizes too small. I want to tell him that a year and a half ago I turned on my laptop and opened my email to find a window with a simple message waiting for me: an elite university wanted to give me

a carte blanche — a breathing room I’d never have again. I wanted to tell Mr. Adler that his comment wasn’t an anomaly. It’s only a symptom of a broader and more disturbing phenomenon: the tunnel vision of the modern American college student and the society that not only tolerates it, but also incites it. Imagine this: you step into a car dealership that carries every car on the market — used Corollas, the latest Jaguars and Teslas, even the Ferrari convertible from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” And then, in that “get-yourselfsomething-nice” kind of way, the salesman turns and hands you the keys to all of them. That’s what it means to be at Emory. But that’s not how we see our time here, is it? No, at Emory we attach ourselves to the “pre-.” We sift through that box of keys and pluck out one or two. We test the cars that will bring us the furthest distances in the fewest minutes. Those are the cars we like — the ones we can use, the ones that will get us to where we’re going. But where are we going? Our way of life starts early. In high school, we followed the formula that promised to get us here — we hated studying for the critical reading section of the SAT but did it anyway. So it was, and so it continues to be. But we only have a finite period to devote to test-driving. To explore, to read and think and to reflect and compare. To be wrong more often than we’re right. And to reject. And we let the keys slip from our hands and fall into that compromised pre-professional abyss. Maybe you’re driven by passions for healing the sick and giving sight to the blind and view the pre-med track as the most effective tool in reaching those goals; maybe you see the university GER system as limiting; maybe pure, intentional motivations are pushing you toward the “pre-.” Surely we need nurses and doctors, researchers and statisticians, investors and stockbrokers. Indeed, society soars on the coattails of such ambition. But the seas won’t rise and the skies won’t open if Goizueta Business School students take chemistry and pre-med students take

accounting. Professional success doesn’t have to come at the cost of broader curiosity. Context and perspective — an understanding of the greater whole — injects meaning into our ambitions and pursuits. When we opened that email and read that invitation to Emory, we were being asked to extinguish the lamps that have always guided our paths and set new ones alight down an uncharted road. To break down assumptions, then build up new ones and break down those new ones again. We were being invited to read Kant one hour and Hawking the next; to be part of a discourse that spans centuries with Leibniz and Lincoln, Oppenheimer and O’Keefe, Du Bois and the Dao.

We were being freed, for just a few moments, from the constraints of the “pre-.” To stare down the barrel of financial instability is nothing short of terrifying. But to the extent that Emory students know how to read and reiterate, they must also be able to think, communicate, convey and contextualize. No man lies on his deathbed wishing he’d spent more time worrying about how to read a spreadsheet. These years are called “undergraduate” because they serve to establish the basics, the fundamentals, the fertile soil from which more will grow. How are we to understand our place in the cosmos if we have no grasp of the greater whole? Art calls this idea perspective: from

an inch away, a painting is only a jumbled smear of color. Judeo-Christian religion calls it Sabbath, a day apart from the rest and a frame of reference to sweeten and round out our approach to the other six. Mr. Adler isn’t unique, nor will his advice soon become the voice of the minority. But he’s wrong. In the modern liberal arts college, ambitious doesn’t have to mean certain. Driven doesn’t have to come with a direction. Dreams of Wall Street and private practice do not have to outshout the whispers of the curious. And philosophy doesn’t have to come with fries.

A Letter From the Editor-in-Chief

Katrina Worsham | Staff

Why the Wheel Published the Pancholy Article: An Ethical Take To the Emory Community,

A Letter From ’98 Lord Dooley To my Beloved Mortals: Emerging from the underworld, my weary bones have enjoyed their youthful visits across campus and into classrooms this week. For those who have missed my appearance earlier this week, I encourage you to visit the lofty floor of Special Collections in the Woodruff Library where some of my precious treasures are now being housed. I hope all of you out there have been diligently preparing your grand costumes for my ball tomorrow night. As it is one of Emory’s greatest traditions, I expect to see each and every one of you there. I know where to find you. I wanted to take you back 90 years into Emory’s history. In the Oct 1908 publication of The Phoenix, I first introduced myself to the Emory community. I draw your attention to a few of my words back then: Yes, I am a skeleton -- a fleshless, bloodless, nerveless, brainless skeleton. But that’s nothing to be ashamed of. I speak from the

vantage point of another world, a vast, mysterious, mystified world.

I urge each of you to take full responsibility for your actions and the liquids you may choose to consume. The dark part of my history began when I reached that period in life when the strength of mind is weakened by the decline of bodily vigor in old age. An old habit which I learned while campaigning seized with ever mastering power. I began drinking heavily, became physically incapacitated and finally landed in a home for inebriate incurables in Atlanta. I curse the liquor now when I think of the shipwreck it made of the last years of my

life. From the depths of bitter experience, I warn every young man and woman against its seductive wiles. I will warn you once again that I will be watching tomorrow night. I urge each of you to take full responsibility for your actions and the liquids you may choose to consume. Be wise, dear mortals, for I assure you that I will still be lurking about campus even after this week is long gone. I will eternally be STAYIN’ ALIVE (and you shall be as well -- if you abide by my warning). And as always, please remember: Presidents may come, and presidents amy go, professors may come, and professors may be squirted, students may come, and students may go -- but DOOLEY lives on forever. Externally yours, William M. Dooley

Last week, the Wheel broke the news through a Facebook post that members of College Council (CC) secured comedian and actor Maulik Pancholy for their Culture Shock event on Nov. 9. Understandably, CC representatives were frustrated that the Wheel released this information before they had a chance to execute a publicity strategy. CC representatives asked us to take down the Facebook post and to hold the article until they released the news first. We declined. And after much back and forth, CC representatives declined to speak with Wheel reporters about Pancholy or Culture Shock in general. The Wheel’s decision to run with the story and refusal to remove the Facebook post may seem like an illogical and ego-driven decision. CC representatives’ refusal to speak with us about Culture Shock has prompted us to clarify our role in the community. Clearly, we have not been transparent enough with our internal processes or the rationale behind certain decisions. I would like to take this opportunity to share with our readers a little bit about how and why the Wheel makes certain decisions. The purpose of the Wheel, or any news organization for that matter, is to accurately and honestly inform the public. Our perception of reality informs our decisions. And if our perceptions are inaccurate, our decisions will be misguided. It is the job of the newspaper to provide the honest facts that shape our reality and help us make the best decisions possible. For example, the Wheel’s coverage of the department changes in the fall of 2012 provided the community with in-depth information about the situation that was otherwise not available. A journalist’s dedication to the truth can do more than just inform his or her readers, however. An honest and comprehensive article has the potential to influence great political and social change. For example, in 1997, journalist Sonia Nazario published a series called “Orphans of Addiction,” which followed the lives of children whose parents were drug addicts. This piece led to systemic reforms in the way child abuse is handled. Even though we are reporting on the Emory community and not, for example, the U.S. government, the decisions we make every day have consequences. A factual error in the Wheel has the potential to seriously damage someone’s reputation or career. It is

therefore of the utmost importance that we have a system in place to ensure consistency and ethical practice. Accordingly, the Wheel has certain guidelines, which are reflective of the Society of Professional Journalists’ (SPJ) code of ethics, to guide our decision-making and practices. The Wheel aims to seek the truth and report it, minimize harm, act independently and be accountable. When a Wheel reporter heard that CC members secured Pancholy for Culture Shock, he or she first aimed to seek the truth by verifying the information with two reliable sources within CC, as is consistent with Wheel policy. The CC sources, who verified Pancholy’s involvement with the event, asked to remain anonymous. And although we try to veer away from anonymous sources — which ask our readers to trust our judgment without giving them all the facts — we granted these CC sources anonymity in order to minimize harm: attributing this information might have compromised their positions within CC. Once the information was public, we could not remove the post without compromising accountability. If Wheel editors verified that someone deep within the administration committed a felony and published it on Facebook, I’m sure many administrators would ask we take it down. In this scenario, it is clear that the post, if true, should remain on Facebook. So where do we draw the line? Perhaps these rules seem arbitrary or unrealistic, but they are the rules that have guided ethical and successful journalists for years. We at the Wheel intend to do all we can to remain ethical, honest and as transparent as possible. We believe these guidelines will ensure we accomplish this goal. If you would like an explanation for any Wheel decision or policy, please do not hesitate to email Editor-in-Chief Arianna Skibell at askibel@emory.edu

Dear Doolina: Flatmate Frustrations Dear Doolina, Jun Jeon/Contributer

Jay Rodman, Jeff Cochran, Jessica Hirst and John Athens (from left to right) laugh at an Emory Best Buddies event last Sunday in Winship Ballroom. The students and buddies worked together, coloring rectangular patches to form a quilt.

‘Best Buddies’ Fosters Unique Friendships By Jun Jeon Contributing Writer Who is your best buddy? Have you found your best buddy on campus yet? Many Emory students already have. Emory University is one of many colleges that participates in Best Buddies, an organization that con-

nects locals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and Emory students by fostering a oneon-one friendship. The program is unique, according to Goizueta Business School senior and Best Buddies President Ishan Dey, in that it provides enriching opportunities as well as long-lasting friendships for both parties involved.

Those with IDD have a challenging time finding jobs, Dey said, based on difficulties with social skills. Interaction with Emory students allows buddies to become more comfortable in social situations. Emory students also find enjoyment in working with the buddies. “I love meeting all of the buddies and really getting to know them,”

College freshman Mack Schroeder said. “They are all so enthusiastic and happy to be there. As much as I feel like I am making a difference in [his buddy] Deorman’s life, I feel like he is making an even greater difference in mine.” Emory Best Buddies held its third event of the semester Oct. 27, banner decoration, in the Winship Ballroom.

By 2 p.m., more than 40 buddies and their paired members had filled the room and began participating in the event. Music was playing as the partners gathered around tables in groups and colored rectangular patches to make a big quilt. The event was warm

My roommate and I live off campus. While I live a plane ride away from my family, my roommate’s home and family are only two hours away. Her mom comes to visit a lot, which I’m fine with, but I recently found out that she gave her mom a key to our apartment! She said it makes sense because her mom visits a lot and might arrive when she isn’t home, or in case of an emergency. Am I wrong to think that this is weird and that she should have asked me first?

HUMANS OF EMORY: THE MAN BEHIND THE HAT

ASK A MAJOR

Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology explore the brain mechanisms that govern the way people think, move or communicate with one another. We use science to understand human nature.

What made you choose to be an NBB major? I was interested in the way people think and act for a long time before I knew the field of neuroscience even existed. In high school, I was drawn to psychology, so during my first semester at Emory I took an introductory Psychobiology and Cognition class with Dr. [David] Edwards. I was also an office assistant in the NBB office, and I had the chance to meet amazing faculty and staff and learn more about the program while working there. Less than three months into the semester, I

lex Clay, the sophomore that’s always sporting a pirate hat, may be one of the most well-recognized people on campus. But the question on everyone’s mind is, “Why does he wear it?” While most are too bashful to simply ask, I have no such reservations, and Alex was more than happy to tell me his story. While on the quiz bowl team at Benjamin Franklin High School, Alex decided to show his school spirit at the national championships by dressing up as Ben Franklin. One of his friends joked that the tri-cornered hat really suited him and he should try wearing it all the time. After that, Alex wore the hat to all school events. Over time, he began to see that it not only amused his friends, but it also made “random people smile just because of how absurd and ridiculous wearing a tri-cornered hat can be.” So he thought, “If it can make people smile, why not do it all the time?” — By Bahar Amalfard

Breaking: Not All NBB Majors Are Pre-med

Not About That EmoryGuest Life?

Continued from Page 9

was an NBB major, and so I’ve been ever since.

Scared of Mom-Intruder Dear Scared of Mom-Intruder,

Are all NBB majors pre-med? No! Not at all. Some people are interested in pursuing research and other career paths. I have a friend who was an NBB and philosophy double-major, and is now attending graduate school for philosophy. I am not pre-med either. What’s the difference between NBB and psychology? There is much more science you get to explore as an NBB major than as a psychology major. You have to take intro to Bio and Chem, and you do need to solve some physics problems in NBB 301 (as all 301 survivors know). Nothing very scary, however. Plus, every senior receives an awesome NBB cap after surviving NBB 401 in the fall semester. What’s the best thing about being an NBB major? Such a hard question! The ideas. The science. The people — students, professors, staff. The fact that we try to understand something (the brain) that has been studied since the beginning of history. The fact that it is so interdisciplinary, and it can always surprise you by offering a different point of view. What’s the hardest thing about being an NBB major? Trying to explain to everyone else why NBB is the best major. What’s been your favorite NBB class so far? Another hard question. I love the Literature and Science class that I am taking at the moment, which is an NBB elective offered by the English Department. But I would say I’ve been a fan of all the NBB classes I’ve ever taken.

Buddies and students decorated squares of paper at the banner-making event with markers and other supplies. The event was the third the club has hosted this year.

Students and Buddies Collaborate on Art Project Continued from Page 9 and talkative. Some members walked quickly from table to table to get more markers for their buddies. Across the table, one of the buddies was drawing something in yellow. “Well ... it is Pluto,” said Armin Aidun, when asked what he was drawing on the patch. Dey met his buddy Walter Mahone through Best Buddies during his freshman year. They found out that they both love playing basketball and exercising. Often, they would hang out together outside Best Buddies events. Since then, Dey said, he has really connected to Mahone. He gets the most enjoyment from the smiles on the buddies’ faces. “It is so nice to see the buddies coming up to me, telling me how much fun they are having at the event,” he said. “[Emory students]

have hung out with their buddies outside of events ... The power of friendship is really special, and it is great to see some of these people who have been neglected by societies be included into normal college settings.” Emory Best Buddies has come a long way. When Dey first joined the group in 2010, it only had around 15 buddies and 15 students. Although it has had ups and downs in terms of numbers of the members in the past few years, it now manages to have more than 130 members. “Coordinating everything is difficult, but I definitely enjoy it,” Dey said. At Emory, despite the size of Best Buddies, not many students know about the organization, Dey said. Many of the members usually get to know about the group either through friends who are members or by recalling similar activities in high

school. College junior Hannah Moriarty joined the group this year when she realized her friend, Dey, was enjoying it so much. “Sometimes it can be hard to pull your buddy out of his shell, especially if they are more introverted,” Moriarty said. “But Mandel [Moriarty’s buddy] and I have gotten along really great from the start. He usually starts off the meeting shy, but by 10 minutes in he is giving me high fives and hugs.” Moriarty said joining Best Buddies was one of the best choices she’s made this year. “I think that Best Buddies is a fun and interactive way to connect with the community outside of the Emory bubble,” she said. “I would encourage anyone with a little extra time in their schedules to get involved.” — Contact Jun Jeon at jjeon5@emory.edu

Dear Doolina, Emory’s wifi keeps automatically signing me in to EmoryGuest instead of EmoryUnplugged. I AM NOT ABOUT THAT EMORYGUEST LIFE.

Dear Guest in your own home, Have you tried turning it off and on?

What are you looking to do, career-wise, with your NBB major? I am still debating between graduate school for clinical psychology and a JD/PhD program that would allow me to enter the field of ethics, bioethics and neuroethics.

Delightfully, Doolina -------------Dear Doolina, I have a position in an organization that I’d like to quit — the position takes up too much time, and I feel like I can’t devote the necessary time to do it justice. The position also hasn’t lived up to my expectations in terms of day-to-day responsibilities. I’ve expressed to the person above me that I’d like to quit. After that, we had one conversation about it but it hasn’t really come up again. What should I do?

What is the weirdest thing you’ve done as an NBB major? Touched a human brain! I wouldn’t exactly call that weird, though. Do you have any advice for freshmen or incoming students pursuing the NBB major? Come to the NBB office (1462 Clifton Rd. Building, Suite 304) and talk to Nadia, Allen and any students hanging out there at the moment. You will learn as much as you ever wanted to learn about NBB and much more. Connect with your professors, and ask them about their research. Be curious. Bring ideas from the humanities into the scientific environment of NBB.

Sincerely, Too Legit 2 Quit (but not really) Dear Too Legit 2 Quit,

Your roommate definitely should have asked you first. Your apartment is a joint space, so big decisions regarding that shared space — including who to give spare keys to — need to be made together. It seems like even if your roommate had asked you in advance, you still wouldn’t have been too thrilled with the idea of giving her mom a key. While your roommate seems to have valid reasons, you also are entitled to a certain degree of privacy and ownership over your apartment. For that reason, I think the mom should keep the key, but you should set down some ground rules with your roommate for when her mother comes to visit. Ask your roommate to give you advanced notice, as well as the right to assert when her mother cannot stay if it’s finals week or something similar. You should also ask that her mother does not use her key to enter your apartment without one of you there, except in case of emergency. I think it’s a reasonable request. Delightfully, Doolina

Howell has been quite the traveler this semester. On the left, you’ll see a picture from her trip to Budapest; the bridge connects Buda and Pest. She’s also visited the St. Charles Bridge in Prague (top left), the coast of Howth, a small town just outside of Dublin (top right), and Schonbrunn, the summer palace of the Habsburg family (bottom right). Where are your cool photos, Ostdiek?

Pisces (2/19-3/20)

You have a lot on your mind today, and you may want to say it all. Keep in mind that you might not see eye-to-eye with everyone right now, and if your words get misinterpreted, you could run into problems.

There’s a profound difference between expressing a desire to quit and actually quitting. As a manager, what would you think if one of your employees came to you and said he wanted to quit? I’d interpret that as expressing his/her dissatisfaction with the status quo but also a desire to change it. It conveys that you want to try to change the situation so as to prevent you from quitting. Expressing your intention to quit, however, is a different ballgame entirely. You can submit your two weeks notice and be on your merry way. It sounds like you fall into the “actually quitting” category. So, here’s some advice on quitting: be polite and respectful. Thank your supervisor for the opportunity to have worked with him/her. Be generous with your time if the organization asks you to train a replacement. It’s the least you can do. It’s also important to mention that the phrase “no one likes a quitter” is essentially universally true. You don’t want to make quitting a habit. Learn from your mistakes. Next time, find out before committing what kind of time requirement is both required and realistic (which are often two different numbers). Make a list of all your other commitments and see if there’s actually enough room to add this to your calendar without sacrificing your sanity. Try asking if you can talk to the person who previously held your position to find out what the day-today responsibilities are. Often, that cool-sounding title or job description has some pretty less-than-fun job responsibilities. Delightfully, Doolina

This view above of the Vienna skyline was taken from the top of an old World War II bunker that’s since been turned into an aquarium. The aquarium is very close to Howell’s apartment. It is not at this time known if Ostdiek has visited the alleged aquarium.

2. Jimmy Butler, shooting guard/small forward, Chicago Bulls Thanks in part to his performance in the playoffs without Derrick Rose this season — when he averaged 13.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, along with 1.3 three pointers made and 1.3 steals per game — the possibilities are endless for Jimmy Butler. He is going to start at shooting guard for the Bulls this season, and with Derrick Rose returning, it is going to be much easier for Butler to score on offense because defenses have to worry about Rose at all times. He will have opportunities for many open three-pointers, which will definitely please fantasy owners. He made 40 percent of his threes in last year’s playoffs, so we know he can make them when he gets the opportunity. The shooting guard position this year isn’t very deep, and Butler will provide helpful stats in a typically uninspiring shooting guard slot. He will be one of the top shooting guards in the league in terms of rebounding, steals and field goal percentage. Also, he will make

In case you have been living under a rock this offseason or do not follow basketball, I am going to remind you that the Sixers are not going to win many games this season. However, it Kansas City at Buffalo is all part of the Sixers plan to secure as many ping pong balls for the NBA Minnesota at Dallas draft lottery this summer, in hopes of acquiring one of the many potential superstars in next years NBA Draft. Tennessee at St. Louis With that being said, when teams are not trying to contend for the playoffs immediately, they want to give New Orleans at N.Y. Jets the opportunity for younger players who have the potential to be great contributors further down the line San Diego at Washington to get ample playing time to gain experience playing at the NBA level, since not much is on the line for their Atlanta at Carolina team. Michael Carter-Williams is the starting point guard for the 76ers and will look to get extended run for the Philadelphia at Oakland team this season. He was a great passer and steals man in college, averaging 7.3 assists Tampa Bay at Seattle and 2.8 steals his sophomore season at Syracuse and will likely succeed in those aspects in the NBA. He is Baltimore at Cleveland going, on average, 139th overall in ESPN fantasy drafts. He is my pick to be the sleepers of the year, and be Pittsburgh at New England sure to get him at all costs. Even if he doesn’t score well, he will provide tremendous assist, percentage and Indianapolis at Houston steal value at this late round. Get him before it is too late.

Davis is projected to rise from the semi-elite level he was last season, into the elite group of big men. He spent much of his rookie season struggling with minor injuries, which kept him in and out of the lineup. Also, the learning curve for big men coming into the league is much steeper than for other positions. The length and scoring touch of the former number one overall pick in 2012 gives him the opportunity to be one of the best big men of our generation. He shined at the USA basketball training sessions over the summer and will bring that momentum into the new NBA season. He now has new teammates Jrue Holiday and Tyreke Evans to help take some of the scoring pressure off his shoulders. In his second season, Davis looks primed to give fantasy owners excellent blocks (1.8 per game last season), steals (1.2), field goal percentage (51.6) and free throw percentage (75.1). Also, his scoring has the potential to reach up to 20 points per game. This may be the last year Davis does not get drafted in the first round, and makes for an excellent trade and draft target.

Storylines Worth Buying Into...

TROYET

Already regarded as one of the top candidates for the Most Improved Player of the Year trophy, Derrick Favors is in a great position to fully break out this season. He averaged 9.4 points per game, 7.1 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in only 23.2 minutes per game. Now that Al Jefferson left for Charlotte and Paul Millsap left for Atlanta, both Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter have a great chance to succeed this season. Favors is in a contract year as well. Utah has limited depth behind Favors, so he will have all of the opportunities in the world to succeed for a Jazz team that isn’t expected to compete for the playoffs. At the very minimum, Favors will provide those who draft him or acquire him in a trade with an exceptional amount of blocks and rebounds, along with a good field goal percentage. 15-16 points per game, 11-12 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game are not an unreasonable expectation for Favors this season. Also, he averaged 0.9 steals per game in limited minutes last season, so he will provide great steal numbers from the power forward or center slot. However, he does not shoot particularly well from the free throw line (68.8 percent last season) nor does he get many assists or hit any three pointers, although those categories typically do not come from power forwards or centers. He’s going 63rd overall on average in ESPN Fantasy drafts, so be sure to draft him or trade for him, because he will provide excellent value this season.

3. Anthony Davis, power forward/center, New Orleans Pelicans

The Jets defense showed some serious issues last week as they let Andy Dalton and the Bengals stomp all over them in a 49-9 defeat. In last week’s win over Buffalo, Drew Brees threw for 332 yards and five touchdowns; almost identical to Dalton’s performance against the Jets. The

more threes this season than people expect and can average around 15-16 points per game, which won’t hurt your point totals too much. With his unique categorical skills and high long term potential, Butler makes for a great bargain in drafts or trades. He is going 90th overall on average in ESPN fantasy basketball drafts, so be sure to get him in a trade before it is too late.

Andy Reid has done the impossible and has led the Chiefs to a perfect 8-0 thus far into the season. While some may question the Chiefs and their ability to go far this season, they do know how to win. The Chiefs haven’t scored more than 31 points in a game this season and have won each of their last two games by a combined seven points. Leading the Chiefs is Jamaal Charles who, in the midst of his breakout season, has over 1,000 yards from scrimmage (rushing and receiving combined) and has amassed eight touchdowns in the process. Despite having both Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller, the Bills have been unable to have a constant, dominating, rushing offense. Until they can find that stable rushing game, they will have trouble winning, especially against a hot Chiefs team. Chiefs 24 Bills 17 — Contact Adam Troyetsky at adam.troyetsky@emory.edu

Terelle Pryor and the Raiders will play host to the struggling Eagles this weekend. Something has gone terribly wrong in Philadelphia as the Eagles have managed to score only 10 points in the past two weeks combined. The quarterback position is something that the Eagles have struggled with since Michael Vick first injured his hamstring a few weeks ago. Nick Foles will get the start this weekend in Oakland after missing last week’s game with post-concussion symptoms. Though Pryor only threw for 88 yards and two interceptions last week, he did run for 106 yards on only nine carries and led the Raiders to a 21-18 win. Darren McFadden also ran for two touchdowns last week. The Eagles have also had a dominating rushing offense this season, averaging 150 yards per game on the ground. However, the Raider rushing defense ranks sixth in the league in rushing yards allowed at only 89.9 yards per game.

Jets’ defense is the perfect matchup for Drew Brees and the Saints. Where the Jets’ defense is strong, the Saints’ offense struggles, and where the Saints’ offense is (extremely) strong, the Jets defense struggles. According to coach Rex Ryan, “if we play like that, Drew Brees will throw for 700 yards against us.” The Jets offense have struggled to be consistent this season. After their overtime win against the Patriots, the Jets were not only blown out by the Bengals but also failed to score a touchdown.

Andrew Luck and the Colts made a statement last weekend when they handed the Broncos their first loss of the season. In that game, Andrew Luck continued his success this season as he threw for three touchdowns and hit seven different receivers. Unfortunately, during the game, Reggie Wayne injured his ACL and will miss the remainder of the season. Replacing Wayne with a single player will be impossible for the Colts but they can try to replace him with multiple targets such as Colby Fleener, T.Y. Hilton, and Darius Heyward-Bey. The Texans have surprisingly struggled this year. After winning their first two games, the Texans have lost five in a row en route to a 2-5 record. Over this losing streak, the Texans are scoring an average of 12 points per game while allowing 28.4 points. The Texans almost snuck by the Chiefs in Week 7 but failed to do so, losing by one point. Following the Houston fans disgustingly cheering when Matt Schaub went down with an injury in week six, the Texans turned to Case Keenum who passed for 271 yards in his Texans debut. Despite this performance, the Colts are hot and should continue their momentum from last week’s win into this weekend. Colts 28 Texans 17

Point of discussion: how did Tim Burton figure out which weird and frightening creatures would be featured in “The Nightmare Before Christmas?” Think about it. The movie’s famous song “This Is Halloween” includes several descriptions of strange beings, including “the one hiding under your bed,” who has pointy teeth and red eyes, a strange man hiding under your bed who has snakes for fingers and spiders in his hair and a “clown with a tear-away face.” Not to mention that the movie’s antagonist is a large, walking bag of insects. Hell, its protagonist is a freakin’ skeleton. That sings. Conspicuously absent is any sort of ghost, witch, zombie, sexy nurse or any another Halloween mainstay. What was Tim Burton thinking? More accurately, why in the world was this a children’s movie? Rant over. For the record, your On Fire correspondent has yet to figure out any sort of Halloween costume, so leave a comment if you have any ideas. 3. This Is Still Halloween This sports season has had some truly scary instances. Case in point: The Red Sox, secretly a team of bearded axe murderers, winning the world series. Nick Saban revealing himself as a brutal, emotionless robot bent on terminating the human race, and Baylor being good at football. 4. ON FIRE HAS BEEN HIJACKED Hello. Sometimes I wish there was a cricket team in America that was taken seriously :(. I also like to play golf, and my friends always criticize me for being bourgeoise, but it’s not my fault I like to drink mimosas and play golf with my daddy. He calls me daddy’s caddy. I hope no one reads about this because I do believe in Marxism but sometimes ideology and pragmatism have no intersection, though I wish it did. But then I guess I should move somewhere else, perhaps a place where there is a cricket team and Socialist policies. But I digress. Anyways, golf is nice. I like to hit balls really hard.

SPORTS THE EMORY WHEEL

Why Doesn’t Emory Have a Football Team? By Nick Bradley Features Editor A great question seems to rest perpetually on the minds of Emory students. It is commemorated on witty T-shirts and complained of on nearly every weekend through the end of the first semester. Why doesn’t Emory have a football team? Speculation abounds on campus. According to a group of Emory students, a common rumor is that one of Emory’s founders — someone — hated football. The truth is somewhat more complicated. The story of Emory’s missing football program begins not with a football team (there never was a team to begin with) but at a pair of baseball games against the University of Georgia in 1884 and 1886. Emory took a beating on both occasions, losing 17-5 and 12-1, according to a history of Emory athletics called Athletics for All written by Clyde Partin, one of Emory’s foremost physical educators. Word came back to campus that spectators had been engaging in gambling and “other unsavory matters.” After the second occasion, the Board of Trustees quickly banned the baseball team from leaving campus to play. When the University of Georgia returned to Emory College in 1891, bets were placed, fights broke out and the Board of Trustees banned intercollegiate sports. The ban read, “In view of the demoralizing influence of match games upon the habits of the students, and the strong tendency to gambling which such games foster, and believing them, in fact, to conflict with the best interests of the young men ... Resolved: that the faculty be and are hereby instructed not to permit the students of the college

to engage in any match game of baseball or other games ... whatsoever.” According to Athletics for All, Emory College President Warren Candler (1875C) related to the Board that the students were in favor of the ban. The team in favor of the ban won in a debate between two of Emory’s literary societies. “At the time, there was a lot going on with intercollegiate sports that was just beyond Emory,” said Tim Downes, Emory’s director of athletics and recreation. “But Emory took a stand that it really did not want to partake in intercollegiate athletics.” The ban on intercollegiate sports ushered in a new era for Emory students. Shortly after the ban was levied, Candler converted the building that housed the Department of Toolcraft and Technology into a gymnasium. Physical education was added to the curriculum and, according to Athletics for All, the administration’s focus shifted from intercollegiate sports to intramurals. “Candler took a classic ‘Olympian’ approach to recreational athletics,” University Vice President and Deputy to the President Gary Hauk said. “The human ideal is a healthy mind in a healthy body.” The next intercollegiate match of any sport was played in 1919. In the meantime, intramurals at Emory thrived under the guiding hand of Frank Clyde Brown, who Candler hired as his gymnasium director. Brown established Emory’s intramural program and brought sports like basketball and the pentathlon to

Emory. When Emory moved from Oxford, Ga. to Atlanta in 1919, Ray “Track” Smathers was hired as the University’s first athletic director. In his short tenure as athletic director, Smathers organized the first intercollegiate track and field meet. In time, tennis, golf and swimming would be added to the Emory’s roster of intercollegiate sports.

“The focus fell on individual sports ... and not team sports,” Hauk said. “Intercollegiate basketball was not played for many decades.” Hauk added that individualized sports also reduced the risk of gambling at events. Despite a 1928 campus-wide referendum that expressed vigorous

support for unlimited intercollegiate athletics and for a petition to the Board for basketball, Emory did not add another program until 1945. At that time, the university’s intercollegiate athletic program consisted of swimming, golf, tennis, track and field and cross-country. According to Athletics for All, baseball, basketball and football were limited to intra-

m u r a l s because they “required elaborate and expensive facilities for public entertainment.” Ultimately, intercollegiate baseball and basketball teams were added. However, football was maintained as an intramural. Downes said he believes that Emory’s athletic facilities may have prohibited the construc-

tion of a traditional football field. But he also suggested that Emory’s “healthy mind in a healthy body” approach to athletics, combined with the physical nature of football, halted the addition of a team. Whereas tennis and swimming were useful skills outside of college, football’s utility diminished after graduation. In 1986, Emory joined the brandnew University Athletic Association (UAA). At the time, the UAA comprised eight of Emory’s peer institutions, including Brandeis University, The Johns Hopkins University and New York University. According to Downes, the original UAA was lovingly nicknamed the “Nerdy Nine.” Johns Hopkins has since left the UAA, leaving its nickname the “Egghead Eight.” “We were formed on institutional and academic philosophies, not athletic philosophies,” Downes said. “These are schools that have lofty expectations and that carries over to athletics. We want to be excellent in whatever we do.” Hauk said he felt that the UAA gave Emory’s athletics program a sense coherence and direction that did not exist beforehand. A l t h o u g h Washington University in St. Louis, Chicago University, Carnegie Mellon (Pa.) and Case Western Reserve University (Ohio) have football teams that compete in the UAA, Downes emphasized that a football team can often dominate the athletic program at a university, drawing resources and attention from

the other sports teams. He said that an athletics program without a football team gives the athletic director an opportunity to treat the teams equally. “Our focus is very student-centered,” Downes said. “It’s going to be a very personal experience.” Beatrice Rosen, a member of Emory’s varsity women’s tennis team, said she feels the lack of a football team has drawn attention from the athletics program as a whole. She also said she feels that school spirit is lacking at Emory because there is no football team to engage the rest of the community. “A lot of really fun ways to get fans going, like rallies, are associated with football,” Rosen said. “So by not having that, we don’t have those sorts of events. These events contribute to developing school spirit and getting people into the fun of competing.” While Hauk acknowledged that Emory’s sports fans might not be as numerous or as brightly colored as another university’s football fans, he asserted that the passion is nonetheless present. “There’s a lot of support there,” Hauk said. “In that sense, [the fans] may not be as numerous but they’re every bit as behind Emory’s teams.” Ultimately, Downes said he feels that Emory’s athletics program and student athletes accurately reflect the passion and engagement of the rest of the Emory community. “What I love about our athletes is that they’re some of the best athletes in the country, but that’s not what defines them,” he said. “They have great things going on academically, socially and out in the community. That’s tougher to do with football.” — Contact Nick Bradley at nbradle@emory.edu

The men’s and women’s cross country teams will compete for a conference title this Saturday at Carnegie Mellon’s Schenley Park in Pittsburgh. Fresh off the Oberlin InterRegional Rumble on Oct. 19, the Eagles will be competing against tough competition in the University Athletic Association (UAA) at the conference championships. Notable competition at the meet Saturday includes a New York University (NYU) program that has a men’s team ranked seventh nationally and a women’s team ranked eighth. NYU demonstrated their talent at Emory’s last meet in Ohio by winning both the men’s and women’s competitions. Washington University in St. Louis (Mo.), the reigning conference champions, also possess high rankings, standing at second nationally for their men’s squad and 10th for their women’s team. Eagles Head Coach John Curtin has a high level of respect for the rest of the UAA. “The UAA top to bottom is among the top two cross country conferences in the country,” Curtin said. The men’s team enjoyed a strong showing in Ohio at their last meet by placing seventh out of 31 teams. The five runners who scored for the team are seniors Alex Fleischhacker and Eddie Mulder, juniors Tyler Cooke and Patrick Crews and freshman Michael McBane. Fleischhacker was the top runner on the day for the Eagles, completing the eightkilometer long course in just over 26 minutes, which was the 22nd fastest time out of 284 participants. He was also

The volleyball team, ranked No. 6 nationally, returns to action this weekend, playing four matches Friday and Saturday (Nov. 1 and 2) at home at the Emory National Invitational. The Eagles will host SUNY Cortland (N.Y.), Berry College (Ga.), Juniata College (Pa.) and Trinity University (Conn.). The weekend promises to feature tough competition for the 24-3 Eagles. Emory will try to get back on track during this tournament, following what Head Coach Jenny McDowell called a “very disappointing weekend” at the UAA Round Robin II, where the Eagles went 2-2. McDowell remarked that the team’s disappointment during conference play would help the Eagles become a better team, by making the players “more focused and determined than ever.” In addition to the volleyball matches, Friday evening will be a special night for senior Sarah Taub, a four-year veteran of the team. As part of Senior Night, the Emory volleyball program will honor Taub for her outstanding contributions to the program. The Eagles cannot afford to look past their competition at the invitational, as three of the squad’s four opponents have a winning record, including two opponents who are nationally ranked. Emory begins play Friday evening against the 14-17 SUNY Cortland Red Dragons, who are 4-5 in their conference matches. The Red Dragons last played last weekend, finishing 1-2 in in SUNYAC

Senior Eddie Mulder tries to get in front of the pack. Mulder was the Eagles’ number two runner at Oberlin. named the athlete of the week for his efforts. Curtin said that Fleischhacker “really came into his own with his showing at the Oberlin Inter-Regional Rumble.” The women’s team earned a 15th place finish at the Oberlin meet behind the performance of five scoring runners of their own. For the fourth time of the season, junior Tamara Surtees was the team’s fastest member, finishing the six-kilometer course in 22:28. That time was good enough to be the 25th fastest out of 284 competitors, and make Surtees the women’s cross country athlete of the week. The other scorers for the women’s team at the Oberlin meet were senior Emily Caesar, junior Marissa

Gogniat, freshman Michelle Kagei and sophomore Ashley Stumvoll. Women’s team captain Meredith Lorch said the team’s goal for Saturday is to “be calm and confident on the line and then carry that composure throughout the race — especially on the grueling hills Schenley Park is known for.” Lorch added that the conference meet is a measuring point for the teams before they compete in the regional competition. “Conferences should be a good tune-up before Regionals, where we’re looking to qualify for NCAA Nationals,” she said. Both Lorch and Curtin are optimistic about the team achieving its goals as the season comes to an end. — Contact Oliver Rockman at oliver.rockman@emory.edu

The volleyball team huddles up during a match. This weekend they host the last of four home invitationals. Conference Play #3. This will be only the second time the Eagles have battled the Red Dragons, the first coming in 1998. Later Friday night, the Eagles face the No. 9 Juniata Eagles who sit at an impressive record of 26-3 on the season. Juniata is coming off a successful weekend, winning the Wid Guisler Invitational, where Juniata defeated Johns Hopkins, DeSales University (Penn.) and Carnegie Mellon. Despite Juniata’s 9-7 record against Emory, the Emory volleyball squad has captured the last five matches between the two schools. The Eagles continue play on Saturday afternoon against the 21-5 Berry Vikings, who are currently on a sixgame win streak. This past Sunday, the Vikings defeat-

ed Birmingham-Southern College (Ala.) and captured their second straight Southern Athletic Association championship. The Eagles have never lost to the Vikings, holding a 8-0 record. In its final match of the invitational, the Eagles face off with the No. 15 Trinity Tigers, who are 29-4 on the season. Trinity comes to Emory on an eight game win streak, and the Tigers have won 19 of its last 20 matches. The two schools met earlier in the season, when the Eagles defeated the Tigers 3-1 at the RandolphMacon Invitational. Emory holds a 12-10 all-time record against Trinity. The invitational is the last of four for the Eagles. — Contact Ethan Morris at ethan.morris@emory.edu
