Emory warns students of ‘Heartbleed Bug’ BY BRANDON FUHR Senior Staff Writer Emory has the necessary safeguards in place to block attempted exploits of the nationwide Heartbleed Bug, a weakness in the cryptographic software that protects usernames and passwords, according to an April 14 information security email sent to all students. The bug is a serious vulnerability because it allows for unauthorized users to gain access to sensitive data, including user login information and passwords, according to the email. The bug specifically affects OpenSSL, a security component used on many platforms and websites. Specifically, Emory OpenSSL is a component to a system that ensures the safety of usernames and passwords. According to the email, the bug was announced on Monday, April 7 and a fixed version of OpenSSL was released at the same time. Organizations worldwide have changed their software to accommodate the loophole. On Tuesday, Emory had all the necessary protocols in place to alert Emory systems of attempts to compromise Emory’s network. Since then, no known attempts have been made to gain access into the network infrastructure. By Wednesday, Emory had “preventative safeguards” in place to block attempts to

compromise Emory’s systems, according to the April 14 information security email. Derek Spransy, senior information security specialist, wrote in an email to the Wheel that he could not share any additional details beyond what was said in the email sent to community members. He added that the community will be alerted via email if there are additional updates. According to the email, Emory Information Security is focusing on some systems at a higher risk in an ongoing effort to reduce any potential vulnerability. The email also states that it is important that Emory community members protect themselves from the vulnerability. Some of the actions the email suggests to take are to change passwords logged into since April 7 and to change passwords again in three to four weeks. The email also stated that it is important to make sure all operating systems, browsers and other applications are up to date to ensure that personal computers are protected. It is not necessary to change Emory passwords, according to the email. Emory Information Security will be continuing to evaluate the community’s exposure to the issue and ensures that the community will be aware if further action needs to be taken. — Contact Brandon Fuhr at brandon.spencer.fuhr@emory.edu

NIH awards Emory $3.6M research grant BY LYDIA O’NEAL Senior Staff Writer A branch of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded a contract of $3.6 million to Emory’s Influenza Pathogenesis and Immunology Research Center (IPIRC), a program dedicated to investigating and preventing the spread of

influenza, according to IPIRC Director Walter Orenstein. In an April 9 press release, the NIH announced its renewed financial awards to the five centers dedicated to flu research under the NIH branch known as the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Emory’s IPIRC, one of the five NIAID centers known colloqui-

their app, PhotoSinc, Saturday night at the Emory Hackathon.

BY JENNA KINGSLEY Student Life Editor It’s 11 p.m. in the Math and Science building’s biggest lecture hall. But instead of the silent, deserted place it is most Saturday nights, the room is alive with a quiet energy. Students working in hushed tones are scattered all about the giant space. In the middle of the room, three young men type furiously on their keyboards, surrounded by a mountain of empty water bottles and Coke cans. In the front of the room, someone laughs as a fellow group member writes an equation on an alreadycrowded whiteboard. In the corner, a student bangs his hands on his laptop and consults his team with frustration. “You see?” he says. “It works when I move my hand over the sensor. But on the monitor, it’s reverse! Did you see that?” The focus, laughter and frustration all are directed at one event: Emory Hackathon 2014, a 32 hour competition to build an app, or hack, with a team and showcase the creation to win a multitude of prizes. This year’s hackathon was hosted throughout the Math and Science building from April 12 at 10 a.m. until April 13 at 5 p.m. The event was co-hosted by Microsoft, who offered over $5000 in prizes for skilled coders and beginners and boasted more than 200 in total attendance. But what is a hackathon? And what is it that’s being hacked? At events like Emory Hackathon, there’s no actual “hacking” in the mainstream sense of the word. The goal is never to hack into another account or get through the firewall of a government database. Rather, a hackathon is an event where computer programmers come together to work intensively on software products and programs. It’s a combination of the words “hack” and “marathon,” hence the need for computer prowess and

coding stamina. College hackathons started gaining popularity in the spring of 2009, when a hackathon at the University of Pennsylvania, PennApps, was born. Since then, hackathons have grown in quantity and attendance on campuses around the nation. Many hackathons offer big prizes for the most innovative creations. PennApps has since grown to host over 2500 hackers and offer upwards of $30,000 in rewards. Emory Hackathon, only in its second year, cannot yet boast those types of numbers. But it is growing, and quickly. Last year, Emory Hackathon was a small event with around 50 participants. This year, over 200 students participated. While some participants were Emory students, many came from neighboring schools like Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) or Georgia State University. Hackers came from five different states, and their education backgrounds ranged from high school to medical school. “Hackathons are the biggest thing to happen to CS (computer science) in a long time,” College senior and lead organizer for the event Tom Mou said. Mou, along with many others from the Emory Robotics and Computer Engineering Club, dedicated many months to planning this year’s event. The team spent much of their time obtaining sponsors, planning logistics and even hosted coding workshops for beginners in preparation for the competition. Mou stressed the importance of gaining sponsors for events like this on campus. Continued on page 10

ally as the Centers of Excellence for Influenza Research and Surveillance (CEIRS), could potentially receive $26.7 million over the next seven years of the contract’s duration, depending on the center’s year-by-year research-based financial needs during that period, Orenstein said. Orienstein, a School of Medicine and Rollins School of Public Health professor, added that the last seven-year sum, given to the IPIRC in April 2007, totaled $32.8 million. “I am very satisfied with the contract,” Orenstein said, adding that it will help Emory and its IPIRC subcontractor, the University of Georgia, to “answer some of the key questions about influenza, which should help in reducing the substantial global health burden influenza viruses exact each year.” This year’s award marks the first donation since the establishment of the five CEIRS centers in 2007, according to Orenstein, who worked at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) before he became director and principal investigator of the IPIRC in 2011. Emory Professor of Microbiology and Immunology Richard Compans, who is now co-principal investigator at the IPIRC, served as Orenstein’s predecessor from 2007, when the IPIRC was established, to 2011. According to a panel review of the centers conducted by NIAID in October 2011, the CEIRS program grew out of a 2006 NIAID panel on influenza research, which aimed to identify knowledge gaps concerning the virus. The latter panel found that progress was needed in the areas of influenza vaccines, animalhuman transmission and laboratory analysis, among others. In March 2007, NIAID created six centers, two of which left the group since then and one, based at Johns Hopkins University, will

enter and was just given its first NIAID contract, according to the press release. Each center tackles a facet of influenza described in the press release and can change its specific focus over time. IPIRC plans to look at strains of the flu carried by swine and poultry, as well as the responses of pregnant women to the virus. The University of Rochester’s CEIRS center plans to study how the human immune system reacts to infection and vaccination. The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City will examine the range of animals capable of carrying the virus.

“Of greatest concern at the moment is an influenza A virus termed ‘H7N9.”’ -Walter Orenstein IPIRC Director Immediately following the 2009 H1N1 influenza, or “swine flu” pandemic, the CEIRS network quickly characterized the virus and tested possible vaccines, according to the press release. “Of the greatest concern at the moment is an influenza A virus termed ‘H7N9,’” Orenstein said, adding that it has led to 286 human cases since the end of December. But Orenstein said there’s no need to pull out the hand sanitizer yet; the virus hasn’t left mainland China and appears to have difficulty spreading from infected birds to humans and from humans to other humans, so the strain doesn’t pose much of a threat.

HONOR COUNCIL CASES The following reports are real cases adjudicated by the Emory College Honor Council. Any personally identifiable information has been omitted to protect the privacy of all parties involved. • A senior in an upper level science course copied several passages from the course’s lab manual into his lab report without quotation marks or citations and claimed to have done so for multiple lab reports without the professor’s notice. Despite the professor’s inability to recognize the student’s previous examples of plagiarism, the Honor Council did not lighten its sanctions. Because the student had committed plagiarism prior to this case, he received a 1-semester suspension, an F in the course and a permanent mark on his record. When he appealed for a lighter sanction, the appeal panel upheld the original decision. • An upper level humanities professor confronted the Honor Council after noting that a freshman student’s paper draft included unusual technical language. The student, who claimed to believe that quotation marks could only be used to cite direct speech, had largely copied an entire paragraph from a cited source and changed the original language only slightly. Due to the fact that the student had referenced his source and appeared to have no malicious intent, the Honor Council found him

not guilty. There was, however, some dissent — a unanimous decision is required to find a student guilty. • A sophomore in a lower level social sciences course submitted the book analysis of a friend who had taken the course during the previous semester. The professor, however, had changed the analysis questions, and noticed that the student’s responses corresponded to questions from the last semester. The student claimed to have been consulting his friend’s work for help with the subject and submitted his friend’s analysis by accident. Because his name had been placed at the top of his friend’s analysis, and because he had a prior, less-serious violation, the student received an F in the course and a 4-year mark on his record.

Lecture Explains Research in Autism Genes By Harmeet Kaur Health Sciences Beat Writer Carnegie Mellon University Professor Kathryn Roeder delivered this year’s Donna J. Brogan Lecture in Biostatistics about the use of statistical methods in autism research this past Wednesday at the Rollins School of Public Health. The lecture, titled “Statistics and Genetics Open a Window Into Autism” delivered to a crowd of more than 100 people, focused particularly on how Roeder and her colleagues are using biostatistical studies to identify genes that cause autism. Roeder, a professor in the department of Statistics and Lane Center for Computational Biology at Carnegie Mellon, discussed strategies that she and her team were using to identify autism risk genes, including improved study designs and techniques such as mapping. She reported that she and her team had found about 100 genes that could potentially cause autism. Roeder added that she and her team had made even more exciting findings, although they were not able to publicly discuss this information until a later date. Roeder said that in the past, sci-

entists debated to what extent autism was influenced by genetics or the environment. However, recent genetics research has identified a considerable number of genes that could be at risk for causing autism, she explained, signaling that autism is mainly genetic. The prevalence of de novo mutations, which cause a loss of function in genes, in the genes that cause autism signals a “focal point” for autism risk, Roeder said.

“I feel like the premise of this event is focusing on female researchers, so I appreciated that.” — Marcy Schaeffer Masters in Public Health student Among the attendees, which included many Rollins students and professors, was Donna J. Brogan, retired chair of the department of Biostatistics in the School of Public Health and namesake of the annual lecture. “I thought it was a very good pre-

sentation,” Brogan said. “It sounds like very exciting research even though she did say that some of her particular projects did not turn out the way that she wanted.” Others found that the event showcased diversity in scientific research. “I thought it was really interesting,” Marcy Schaeffer, a first year Masters in Public Health student, said. “I’m in biostats, and I feel like the premise of this event is focusing on female researchers, so I appreciated that.” According to Brogan, the Donna J. Brogan Lecture was established in 2006 and annually brings speakers to campus to discuss how biostatistics contributes to other areas of research. Rollins Professor of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Robert Lyles added that the lecture was one of the department’s most significant events. “It’s definitely one of the biggest events our department holds every year, in part because it honors Professor Brogan who’s done so much for our department and in part because the organizers of the event always find a terrific speaker who’s going to appeal to a wide audience,” Lyles said.

Well-known locally as the Emory unit, the company has been “learning the ways of the Army” since Sept. 1, when it received orders to entrain for what at that time was a “secret destination...” The men in Emory’s famous medical group, which first gained fame by handling 10,000 wounded soldiers at Blois, France, in World War I, are “glad to be doing our bit for our country, and our only regret is in leaving our

Emory’s College of Arts and Sciences, for 116 years non-coeducational, will admit women next fall, President Goodrich C. White announced last week. The University Board of Trustees, after recommendation by its executive committee, voted to break the tradition — a move designed to

increase the University’s present enrollment ... Dr. White said the first women to be admitted will be those from the Atlanta area who can live at home and a few from elsewhere who can find accommodations in the community. “We do not plan to build any more dormitories, add any new courses or change our educational structure because of this decision,” White said.

Woodruff Gives University $100 Million Endowment BY TALIA SEGAL Staff Writer Excerpt from Nov. 13, 1979 Wheel article Soft drink magnate and longtime Emory benefactor Robert W. Woodruff gave the university a no-strings-attached endowment valued at over $100 million Thursday, making Emory the South’s most heavily endowed university. The gift, consisting of all assets of the Emily and Ernest Woodruff Fund Inc., is the largest gift ever made by a living donor to any philanthropically supported institution of any kind ever in United States history. Although the retired Coca-Cola chairman was not present for the announcement, he stated in a letter to President James T. Laney that he and the trustees of the Woodruff Fund donated the resources to Emory in order to better service the South. They feel Emory has the greatest potential for continued educational excellence. “Emory University and Emory College at Oxford have demonstrated leadership in educational excellence for nearly a century and a half… Resources committed to their (the trustees) care for public benefit can be of greatest potential for service in the South ... if concentrated now in Emory University,” he stated. According to Robert Strickland, chairman of the board of trustees of the university, “This gift ... will enable Emory University to go into the eighties with new plans and new programs that will allow the university to assume higher levels of attainment in leadership in education than ever before ... ” The board also adopted a $160 million capital funds campaign. The $100 million endowment already puts Emory more than half-way towards “The Campaign for Emory” goal. The

Wheel Announces Editorial Changes, Policies for Year EMORY WHEEL EDITORIAL

Excerpt from April 12, 1962 Wheel editorial “The South’s Most Independent Collegiate Newspaper” — this motto will continue to be the standard for the Wheel during the coming year under its new regime. The Wheel will continue to present news in as fair and truthful a manner as is humanly possible and to present editorials on relevant topics. As in the past, we will strive now for independence and impartiality and refuse to be the tool or spokesman of any group or person on campus ... Although the Wheel prefers continued segregation for the University en toto, we recognize the inevitable — integration — which in all probability will occur next fall in the dental school, but we shall continue to call for and support segregation in the College as the Wheel has done for several years. When and if integration does come to the campus, we hope with all sincerity that it will be accepted with a calm attitude befitting the intelligence found here.

We hope also that it will be with a lack of demonstration in the light of mature thinking and a view towards the “changing South.” In regard to segregation in general, we shall continue the moderate stand [sic] taken by the Wheel in the past. Only through understanding and clear thinking can the racial problems of the South be solved to avoid strife and tension and continue the progress of the section ... A second goal for the year will be to arouse interest in the danger that communism poses to this nation and to create a desire to become better acquainted with this threat to our security. Only with knowledge and a thorough understanding of the subject, [sic] can we adequately combat the menace ... We are looking forward to a year that we hope will stand out in the University’s history as a progressive one, not only academically, but also in the areas of construction and development of campus facilities and growth in the place that Emory deserves in the ranks of educational institutions.

Faculty Considers Fate Of Wonderful Wednesday By GEOFFERY GAY News Editor Excerpt from Oct. 6, 1972 The Emory New Times article Wonderful Wednesday, Emory’s unique contribution to academic scheduling, appears to be losing its impact on the Emory campus. In light of apparent neglect on the part of students and student organizations for the mid-week day of rest, many faculty members, administrators and even some students are questioning the

program’s worth. Dr. Leon Mandel, outspoken chairman of the Chemistry department, stated that Wonderful Wednesday has “outlived what it did initially” and become an “abuse of time and facility.” Mandel is not the only critic of the sanctified Wednesday. The college faculty meeting of September 25 established a belief that the faculty should focus some attention on academic schedule. Dean Stevens informed the faculty that there would be a faculty committee established to reassess Wonderful Wednesday’s value.

campaign’s success will lead to improvements in campus facilities and will be used to bring, in Laney’s words, “new and distinguished” faculty to Emory. One-fourth of the gift will be allotted for scholarship fund increases, Laney also indicated. Laney, Strickland and outgoing board chairman Henry L. Bowden made the announcements at a press conference Thursday, following the board’s annual meeting. The usually stoic Laney, wearing an Emory blue and gold striped tie, which matched Bowden’s, beamed under the television lights. There are no conditions attached to the gift, although the money must be used entirely for endowment. Laney, however, believes “there’s a moral attachment that we recognize at E m o r y.” He feels the trustees of the Woodruff Fund have shown great confidence in the university by donating this unprecedented amount. “We want to match that confidence on the part of the alumni and friends of the university by raising the full amount of the capital funds goal and demonstrating our capacity to emerge as one of the principle institutions of higher learning in the United States in the next decade,” Laney said. “The $160 million campaign means that we can realize ... Emory moving into the front ranks of American universities, and this $100 million assures us that this total goal is within reach,” he added. According to Laney, the size of the Woodruff gift will now place Emory “among the top eight or nine” richest schools in the country. “In the South, this, I think, probably will put us as number one,” Laney stated.

College freshman Kelly Chicos awoke to terror Tuesday morning. There had been explosives, a friend told her. The World Trade Center was on fire. As she shook sleep from her eyes, devastation came into focus. Her father worked as a financial advisor on the 102nd floor of the World Trade Center, and she didn’t know where he was. “I was hysterical,” Chicos said. “I thought my dad was dead.”

For 15 panicked minutes, she made repeated phone calls to her father’s cell phone, until the moment of relief when he finally answered. He was in Philadelphia, her hometown, and was scheduled to return to New York City that very morning. His flight never departed and he was safe... In the aftermath of Tuesday’s terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C., luck is relative.

Obama Highlights LBJ’s Commitment By Madlin Mekelburg The Daily Texan, University of Texas, Austin At the keynote address at the Civil Rights Summit Thursday, President Barack Obama discussed former President Lyndon B. Johnson’s legacy and emphasized his belief that government plays an important role in promoting equality. Obama said that like Johnson, he believes the presidency provides a rare opportunity to help change the course of history. “Those of us who have had the singular privilege to hold the office of the president know that progress in this country can be hard, and it can be slow. It’s frustrating…the office humbles you. In this great democracy, you are merely a relay swimmer in the currents of history,” Obama said. “[But] the presidency also affords a unique opportunity to bend those currents by shaping our laws and by shaping our debates.” Obama said that though people still debate the role of government in helping promote equality, to deny that government can help forward society is to “ignore history.” “It’s true that despite laws like the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act and Medicaid, our society is still racked with division and poverty,” Obama said. “Yes, race still colors our political debates, and yes, there have been government programs that have fallen short. There are limits to change…[but] I regret such premises, because I have lived out the legacy of LBJ’s efforts.” Obama said major pieces of legislation, though unpopular at the time they were passed, established critical legal protections for African Americans and other American minorities. “The law alone isn’t enough to change hearts and minds,” Obama said. “[Johnson] understood laws could not accomplish everything — but only the law could anchor change, and set minds and hearts on a different course. And a lot of Americans needed the law’s most basic protections.” Obama referenced Martin Luther King Jr. to highlight the importance of those legal protections. “It may be true that the law cannot

make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important,” Obama said, quoting King. Obama said Johnson made modern progress possible through his efforts in passing the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. “The story of America is a story of progress, however slow, however incomplete, however harshly challenged at each point in our journey, however flawed our leaders, however many times we have to take a quarter of a loaf or half a loaf,” Obama said. “The story of America is the story of progress — that is true because of men like Lyndon Baines Johnson.” Obama said taking a stand for seemingly hopeless or unpopular legislation is what set Johnson apart, and what he hopes to emulate as president today. “Most of [Johnson’s] staff counseled him against [the Civil Rights Act] — they said it was hopeless, that it would anger powerful southern Democrats and committee chairman, that it risked derailing the rest of his domestic agenda…to which President Johnson replied, “well, what the hell’s the presidency for?” Obama said. “What the hell’s the presidency for if not to fight for causes you believe in?” Obama also highlighted Johnson’s ability to empathize with others’ suffering. “[Johnson’s hunger for power] was harnessed and redeemed by a deeper understanding of the human condition, by a sympathy for the underdog, for the downtrodden, for the outcast,” Obama said. “It was simply rooted in his own experience…As a young boy growing up in the Texas hill country, Johnson knew what being poor felt like.” Obama said he believes Johnson’s empathy for different kinds of Americans is what made him great. “As powerful as he became, in that Oval Office, he understood them. He understood what it meant to be on the outside and he believed that their plight was his fight too,” Obama said. “That his freedom was ultimately wrapped up in theirs, and that making their lives better was what the hell the presidency is for.” In his introduction, U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D-Georgia, said he has seen significant progress in his years on

the front lines of the civil rights movement. Lewis said Obama’s status as the first black president was especially poignant in the context of the 50-year anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. Obama was born three years before the act’s passage. “President Barack Obama was born into a dangerous and difficult time in American history, a time when people were arrested and taken to jail just for sitting beside each other on the bus,” Lewis said. “When people say nothing has changed, I say come and walk in my shoes, and I will show you change.” Obama said he urged people to remain optimistic about their ability to achieve societal progress. “With enough effort and enough empathy and enough perseverance and enough courage, people who love their country can change it,” Obama said. “We shall overcome. We. The citizens of the United States.” UT President William Powers Jr. said he enjoyed Obama’s speech and his focus on Johnson’s legacy. “I thought it was a terrific speech,” Powers said. “I thought it’s focus on President Johnson’s legacy was a perfect theme and tone. The combination of celebrating — there has been change and there are challenges ahead. And it was an honor to have the President of the United States on campus.” During Obama’s address, student protesters from the University Leadership Initiative held a rally outside of the LBJ Library. Undeclared sophomore Anayeli Marcos said the group was protesting to call attention to Obama’s immigration policy. “Since it’s the civil rights summit and he’s giving a speech about civil rights, we just think it’s very ironic because, right at this moment, the civil rights of undocumented families are being violated,” Marcos said. Marcos said despite the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1946, there are still inequalities in the country today. “Even though 50 years ago the Civil Rights Act was passed, there are still problems going on today,” Marcos said. “This issue of Civil Rights hasn’t been resolved — it’s just a different group of people who are being exploited and not treated right because they don’t have a piece of paper.”

Constitutional Council Must Validate Complaint Referendum Process Violates Election Code As University-wide elections were held earlier this month, the ballot included a list of eight proposed amendments to the Student Government Association’s (SGA) constitution. Despite controversy surrounding the legitimacy of these amendments, all eight passed overwhelmingly. We at the Wheel previously commented in our April 4 staff editorial “Spring Elections Mired in Problems” on the problems surrounding the passage of these amendments. These issues included vague, ambiguous wording on the ballot and lack of accessibility to students prior to voting. Now, newly-elected College-wide representative Aaron Tucek has filed an official complaint against the SGA Elections Board’s lack of procedure regarding these amendments. The resulting hearing, held by the Constitutional Council, has only reinforced our belief in the stance that we affirmed two weeks ago and made us all the more wary of the elections process. We are frustrated by SGA’s lack of democratic process and encourage the Constitutional Council to validate this complaint and consider overturning the referendum. It is clear that the Elections Board violated the elections code. The SGA constitution explicitly states that all proposed amendments must be sent to students at least 48 hours before the elections. Instead, students received an email 20 minutes before the ballot went out. While this may not seem like an egregious violation, it may set a dangerous precedent and undermine the validity of the Elections Code. The Election Board’s primary argument was that, though they did not specifically send out an email, the amendments were available to the students beforehand. In an April 15 Wheel article, College senior and Elections Board Chair Matthew Pesce, who represented the Elections Board during the hearing, cited the Wheel and the SGA website as a resource through which students could have accessed the bill. Though we distributed this information, the Elections Board should have itself distributed the information through a University-wide email using accessible, succinct wording that would be used on the ballot — which should perhaps be voted on by SGA members — to describe the changes to the Constitution. SGA should be responsible for disseminating this information to its constituents in order to make voting as informed a process as possible. While this information was available on its website, the Elections Board has a democratic responsibility to attempt to make elections as educated as possible. Pesce also openly acknowledged that he had not read the entirety of the referendum and that few students would have paid attention if the Elections Board had publicized the referendum. This gives the impression that the Elections Board holds cynicism at best and lack of interest at worst in the elections process and that it believes students feel similarly. Whether that is true or not, it is the role of SGA and its Elections Board to reach out to students and attempt to increase interest in the elections within the student body, not to show disinterest themselves. We are disturbed by this presentation of SGA officers: it is their very duty to be informed. We acknowledge that part of the student population will not demonstrate interest in these issues no matter what SGA does. However, it is SGA’s responsibility to create accessibility in its elections, and it is unacceptable to condone a violation to the Elections Code because of perceived student apathy. We strongly urge the Constitutional Council to decide in favor of Tucek and to reverse the referendum. The above staff editorial represents the majority opinion of the Wheel’s editorial board.

Editorial Roundup College editorials from across the country The Michigan Daily University of Michigan Wednesday, April 9, 2014 In its staff editorial “A Matter of Morals,” The Michigan Daily argues against economic justifications for moral political action. The Business Leaders for Michigan have recently thrown their support behind the banning of employment discrimination based on sexual orientation. These leaders have rationalized their support on the basis of an economic argument, claiming that states who limit this kind of discrimination in the workplace would increase the number of qualified individuals, a principle which could be applied to Michigan. While this rationalization is sound, an economic argument shouldn’t be the only reason for the banning of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Michigan’s Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act was passed in 1976, prohibiting employment, housing or public accommodation discrimination on the basis of religion, race, color, national origin, age, sex, height, weight, familial status or marital status. The bill doesn’t, however, cover discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or expression. Business Leaders for Michigan recently voiced their support for the expansion of this bill to include such sexual orientation discrimination under the purview of the law. Their reasoning is an economic one: with the goal of making the state one of the top busi-

ness competitors in the country, banning discrimination will aid in attracting qualified job candidates and work to make all applicants feel welcome in the Michigan workplace. A recent Michigan Department of Civil Rights survey discovered that a discriminatory climate in the Michigan workplace is driving professionals and college graduates out of the state as well as making Michigan a less welcoming place for non-natives, thus hurting the Michigan economy as a whole. While an economic argument can and is being made for the expansion of anti-discrimination legislation, discrimination of any kind should not be tolerated for any reason. The CEOs are creating a catalyst for social change, which will greatly benefit the state and its population, but Michigan’s citizens should take it upon themselves to initiate this change as a matter or moral imperative. The state needs to step up and end discrimination. This change needs to be brought about by more than just the corporate world aiming to increase their profits and better their reputation in the business world. A social component needs to be included in this move for social change. The Business Leaders of Michigan are supporting societal change that must be accepted by the state of Michigan writ large for the betterment of our society and the acceptance of any and all current and potential residents of the state of Michigan.

Intervention and Community Individual Approach to Addiction Insufficient RANIA AL-QUDAIHI Most of the morbidity and mortality in societies is due to individual behavior. Individuals usually enhance their health by either avoiding risky behaviors (e.g., smoking) or adopting healthy behaviors (e.g., physical activity). These behaviors have led to increased interest in individual-level interventions that address health problems through lifestyle change. However, new orientations in health promotion interventions have included community action through the use of health education. Moreover, community-level interventions use lifestyles and environmental changes to promote behavior changes, which are able to address health problems. Health promotion programs should include not only actions to strengthen individual skills but should also focus more heavily on community efforts to change social and physical environments into healthy environments. Individual-level intervention reflects incomplete intervention content. This is because of the lack of effective evidence, which eventually reflects inappropriate intervention delivery. For example, an intervention derived from a stage theory of behavior change should incorporate several key elements. Individual-level intervention that is used to modify risky behaviors is based on stage theories, such as Trans-theoretical Model (TTM). Stage-based theory suggests that behavior change occurs through different stages facing several barriers rather than a continuous process. Previously mentioned information suggests that individual-level interventions will be more effective in addressing health problems, but this is not true because of the complexity of the factors that play a role on each individual stage of change. Individual-level intervention stages include: 1) those who have

not decided to change their behavior, 2) those who have decided to change behavior and 3) those who have already engaged in behavior change. The need for community-level intervention can be seen when looking at strategies used for HIV risk reduction. For example, Health Intervention Project (HIP), a communitybased program, targeted African-American female drug users in order to reduce the risk of HIV infection. This project explores the difference in results between women’s individual characteristic intervention as opposed to community intervention.

Community-level interventions are more promising for addressing health problems... Several women gave up crack cocaine by ending individual social relations and changing their daily life structures. However, women who were part of a 12-step community program were more likely to stop cocaine use and injection drug use. This is because these women were provided with positive reinforcement and social support. Furthermore, some participants have said that the absence of community organizations, youth/elderly associations for health and social services were problematic. This is because individuals within these social networks or systems acquire information, change attitudes, develop beliefs, acquire skills and practice behaviors which eventually will have positive influence on changing bad behaviors. The community-level intervention assumption is that individuals make up large and small social networks or systems in order to

promote health. Community level interventions are more promising for addressing health problems and improving health because of the possibility of modifying the social environment. A study about the prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors found a 50 percent decline in the CHD mortality rate with the implementation of a community based CHD prevention intervention program communitylevel interventions are done to improve health outcomes by reducing the populations’ overall risk rather than just the individual risk. They further aim to decrease the disease burden through risk reduction strategies across community. Moreover, community level interventions are aimed to reduce CHD risk factors, which are cost effective and a possible approach for reducing CHD rates and associated morbidity in the community. However, community-level intervention, which is designed to create healthy social environment, is still in need of more development in terms of research because there is a lack of understanding of concepts, a lack in interventions that bring social change as well as a lack of feasible methods. Individual-level intervention has been less effective because public health research often highlights the community level interventions while ignoring the individual level interventions. This is because of limited knowledge regarding how the efforts at the individual level rise as well as a limit in the understanding of the strategies needed to improve the public’s health. Therefore, until we have more of an idea about how to increase understanding of the individual level approach to intervention, community-level intervention should be used.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Former Editor in Chief of the Wheel Remembers Bill Fox I cannot remember the exact moment I met then-Dean of Campus Life Bill Fox, but it was very soon after I arrived on the Emory Campus as a freshman in the fall of 1979. He was just about always smiling. He was just about always available. He was always in our midst, and it was evident he loved being with us, the students of Emory University. I was fortunate to get to know Bill very well over the years. By the time I was heading towards graduation, I counted Bill among my closest Emory friends. That might sound strange to many ... how an administrator would be such a close friend with an undergrad ... but all the Emory alumni who knew Bill understand. He did not set boundaries or limitations based on age or rank. He opened his heart to those around him, no matter how young. As an undergrad, I would get together with Bill from time to time to have lunch and catch up. I had the opportunity to take a class with him my senior year, where he had us journaling about the books he assigned us to read. Although we already had a strong bond, we came to know one another even better through that class. When I left Emory to pursue graduate

school, it was hard to say goodbye to so many people I loved at Emory, such as Bill. These were the days long before the Internet, e-mail, texting and Facebook. Long distance phone calls were costly. Keeping in touch took more effort, and sometimes it’s hard to remember how we did it then, but we did. I stayed in touch with Bill. We had him come to our alumni club in Philadelphia, and he remained one of the most sought after Emory speakers for alumni events. Whenever I would visit Atlanta, Bill had advance notice so we could get together and catch up. Soon after my husband and I became engaged, I attended an alumni leadership seminar at Emory. My then-fiancé flew down to join me at the end of the conference, so I could introduce him to my beloved university and to some of the people who had made those college years so special. My husband, Bill and I had a lovely lunch together at what was then The Depot. I was very excited for my children to meet Bill and his wife Carol, when I took them to Emory a few years ago. They had heard me speak about him over the years, and I also was looking forward to Bill meeting my kids. Unfortunately, Bill was not feeling well, and

so that meeting did not take place, but while my family dined at the Sun Dial Restaurant at the Westin Peachtree Plaza, I left the table to speak with Bill when he called, happy to know he was close by, even if we did not get to see him. Facebook has been abuzz with the news of Bill’s passing. I almost expect his name to be listed as what is “trending” right now. It is comforting to read what others are writing about this special man. He touched so many of us. When I think of Bill, his smile is the first image that comes to mind. Then comes his slow, lovely Arkansas drawl, saying a word he exclaimed often: “Wonderful!” There is warmth in his eyes. Concern. Interest. Bill Fox was one of a kind. The many thousands of us who were fortunate to be at Emory when he was have benefited immensely from his leadership. When I learned Bill would be retiring in 2005, I was quite sad, finding it nearly impossible to imagine an Emory without Bill there. Now I am finding it almost incomprehensible to imagine a world that no longer has our Bill Fox in it. Tali Joan Segal is a member of the Emory College Class of 1983.

OP  ED

How to Tip Your Server Like You Really Mean It American Gratuity Keeps Food Service Workers in Precarious Situations REBECCA BURGE “Hi, how is everyone doing? Will we be starting with appetizers tonight? Have y’all had a chance to look at the drink menu?” I have spent the last 10 months working as a server at a sushi restaurant in Buckhead. We are known for sake bombs. When people find out about my part-time job, they always have a lot of questions for me. The most difficult question to answer, though: “How much are you paid?” Technically, I am entitled to the federal minimum of $7.25 per hour. In practice, my wages are extremely variable. According to the Department of Labor, because servers are “tipped employees,” or employees who “customarily and regularly receive more than $30 per month in tips,” my Georgia employer is only responsible for a minimum required cash wage of $2.13 per hour. The difference of $5.12 per hour comes from customers. I am essentially paid in tips. At the end of the night, servers calculate their total sales and are required by management to “tip out” based on this figure. In other words, servers don’t keep all of the tips they make, but instead must redistribute some of their earnings to kitchen staff, the hostess, the bus boys and maybe the bartender. For me, this means that I keep approximately 80 percent of my tips (depending, again, on how high my tips were with respect to my sales). Here is a simple example of how this works. Pretend you are a single person eating at my restaurant. Let’s say you order two specialty sushi rolls and two beers on draft for a total cost of $30, including tax. You pay in cash and leave a $5 bill on the table for a tip. At the end of the night, based on your $30 check, the kitchen staff are entitled to $0.68 (2.25 percent), the hostess to $0.30 (1 percent) and the bus boy to approximately $0.15. So, from your $5 tip, I will keep $3.87, or about 77 percent. Five dollars on a $30 check is fairly standard. It comes out to just over 16 percent. (As a rule of thumb, if you want to give a

moderate tip in Georgia, leave cash equal to double the sales tax on your check.) Let’s say that you were absent-minded (or vindictive) and did not leave a tip. I did not only lose your tip. Remember that I “tip out” at the end of the night based on total sales, not on tips. In other words, I not only failed to make money, but I lost $1.13 because I bothered to serve your table. Thus, it is possible to take home less than minimum wage at the end of the night. If this happens, of course, the discrepancy will come back in my pay check at the end of the month (less Social Security and taxes). This does happen occasionally. For example, because of a bad tip night, I took home $40 for eight hours of work on the Fourth of July. Because eight hours times the federal minimum wage of $7.25 is $58, my employer then owed me $18 for this shift. On a busy night in the restaurant, I can make up to $25 per hour. More generally, I can depend on about $85 on a week night and $130 on a weekend or $15-20 per hour (the difference made up in alcohol). My average tip is 22 percent. Serving is hardly a career option I would like to pursue after I graduate from Emory, but I do earn in excess of minimum wage. But then again, my experience is atypical for a server working in Georgia: My restaurant has a loyal clientele, we are located in an affluent Atlanta business district and I’m a chatty college girl with a knack for flattery. I come into this discussion from a place of relative privilege. To begin with, I only work part-time and often less. If I have a few consecutive $60 nights, or if I don’t have time to take on a shift, my parents can step in to help me cover my basic expenses. Most of my coworkers don’t have a parent or a spouse who can be a stop gap if things go wrong. For example, last month one of my coworkers’ car broke down. The associated costs were more than he could afford and since then he has been unable to make repairs and has been taking MARTA to work. Restaurant employees are some of the hardest working people I have ever encoun-

tered. Restaurants are high-stress environments. The back of a restaurant is a hot, frantic place filled with the sounds of sizzling food, the clatter of dishes and the back-andforth shouting of cooks and wait staff in many different languages (at my restaurant, these are English, Spanish, Japanese, Vietnamese and an Indonesian dialect). Customers’ orders and extra requests send me running all night in an Euler circuit around the floor; a six-hour shift is a workout. Although servers tend to be an extroverted bunch, it’s hard to be unremittingly cheerful when confronted by the inevitable demanding or petty customer. People employed by the restaurant industry are disproportionately the working poor. More significantly, these people are dispro-

portionately immigrants and racial minorities. According to the Center for American Progress and the Restaurant Opportunities Center, a not-for-profit organization working to improve wages and working conditions for the nation’s low wage restaurant workforce, 40 percent of tipped workers are people of color and 23 percent are immigrants, compared to respective rates of 33 and 16 percent in the general workforce. Moreover, over 50 percent of tipped workers with incomes below the poverty line are racial minorities. I am writing this article to inform you, potential Georgia restaurant patron, that a vulnerable and hard-working population is at your mercy. The Georgia General Assembly has allowed service industry employers to

shift the burden of employee wages onto customers. As a result, servers are dependent on your largesse for their livelihood. It is essential that consumers understand wage laws and the concept of tipping. Tipping is not merely a courtesy, but a custom assumed by state and federal governments. The next time you eat at a restaurant, spare a thought for your server. Poor college student that I am, I try to figure in a 20-25 percent tip for good service on top of menu item prices in deciding whether I can afford to eat out. If your server is rude or makes a mistake, either look past it or complain to the management — don’t take it out on their tip. Rebecca Burge is a College senior from Woodinville, Wash.

Thoughts on Student Mental Health Positive Psychology: Let’s Talk Mental Illness Uplifting the Mind Silencing Conversations Harms Those in Need MATT KOHN Is the absence of mental illness mental health? This question was proposed by Emory’s own Sociology Professor Corey Keyes and serves as one of the central themes to the newly emerging field of positive psychology. This field serves as a way to counterbalance the traditional field of psychology’s emphasis on diseases and deficits, referred to as the deficit-or-disease-based model. In other words, traditional psychologists often sought to simply identify their patient’s deficits and disorders, then remedy them. Positive psychology posits that we should be as concerned with our strengths as we are with our weaknesses. As I will discuss shortly, studies have shown that increased levels of positivity benefit us in a multitude of ways and actually alter the cognitive architecture of our brains. Two terms can help us better understand this discussion: flourishing and languishing. Keyes describes flourishing as the presence of mental health or those filled with positive emotions. Languishing, on the other hand, is described in adults who possess incomplete mental health and are poorly functioning, both psychologically and socially. Put simply, those who are flourishing are the most satisfied with their life and are socially and psychologically healthy. Those who are languishing are more likely feeling “empty” or unfulfilled. So now let’s get into the numbers, because after all, as the essayist Christopher Hitchens said: “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.” In a study spanning from 1995 to 2009 and including over 1700 subjects, Keyes and his fellow researchers found that the traditional deficit-based model was lacking and instead called for the need to invest in mental health promotion and protection. These conclusions were drawn after finding that nearly half of the subjects who were free of mental illness in 1995 stayed at or later changed to moderate mental health in 2005. This group was now equally as vulnerable to mental illness as the 17.5 percent of subjects who initially had a mental illness in 1995! Furthermore, nearly six in 10 adults free of mental illness had as high or even a higher risk of developing a mental disease as individuals previously diagnosed with a mental illness. But why should we care? Aside from the fact that leading a life absent of mental health (languishing) sucks, according to Keyes (2002), you are nearly six times more likely to suffer a depressive episode (more numbers for you). Further, your creativity, productivity and energy levels will all suffer. But don’t worry, there’s hope! Higher levels of positivity and well-being

contribute to what positive psychology researcher Shawn Achor calls “the happiness advantage.” After three years of research in 45 different countries, Achor found that in both various schools and companies that our brains perform significantly better at positive than it does at negative, neutral or stressed. Further, our intelligence, creativity and energy levels rise. Achor determined that our external assets (our job, our salary, our appearance, etc.) have very little to do with our long-term happiness. Whereas only 10 percent of our long-term happiness is predicted by these aforementioned external assets, 90 percent of our long-term happiness is predicted by the way our brain processes the world. For example, Achor found that 75 percent of job successes are predicted by optimism levels, social support systems and the ability to see stress as a challenge and not a threat. In summary, Achor states: “What we’re finding is it’s not necessarily the reality that shapes us, but the lens through which your brain views the world that shapes your reality.” Unfortunately, many of us, myself included, have been following a broken formula for years. That formula is, “If I work hard, I’ll be more successful. Once I’m more successful, I’ll be happy.” However, according to Achor, this formula is scientifically broken and backwards. Achor describes this unfortunate situation as, “first, every time your brain has a success, you just changed the goalpost of what success looked like. You got good grades, now you have to get better grades, you got into a good school and after you get into a better school, you got a good job, now you have to get a better job, you hit your sales target, we’re going to change your sales target. And if happiness is on the opposite side of success, your brain never gets there. What we’ve done is we’ve pushed happiness over the cognitive horizon as a society. And that’s because we think we have to be successful, then we’ll be happier.” Sounds all too familiar, right? I know it did for me. But here’s the secret. We must first think positively. This will activate the previously mentioned happiness advantage, which will in turn increase our productivity, our energy and yes, our happiness levels, both short- and long-term. Achor found that an exercise as simple as writing down three things we are grateful for each day for three weeks was enough to actually rewire our brain and allow us to think positively and more optimistically. Doing this trained our brain to not scan the world for the negative, but instead, we now were able to scan the world and seek out the positive. Find the good, think positively and you are well on your way to seeing the world in a new and improved way. Matt Kohn is a College senior from Rockville, Md.

EVA KASSEL “Out of face, out of mind, right?” It’s not until it’s placed right in front of you through a direct impact, or someone around you, that you know it’s there. The truth is, at some point, it will be part of your life. What am I talking about? Mental illness. One in four people in the U.S. experience mental illness every year. This means that your family members, friends, peers and even you can or will experience mental illness. You are probably thinking that this is very unlikely because you have not seen or experienced it yet. Mental illness is real, but it’s not talked about. Most members of American society view mental illness as a taboo. We go out of our way to avoid it. We fear mental illness, we fear discussing it and we condemn those who suffer from mental illness. According to the annual report by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI): one in two are frightened by mental illness, two in five people think people with mental illness are a threat to society and “psycho,” “nuts,” “mentally ill” and “crazy” are the top descriptors for those with mental illness. As a result, these unfounded myths are helping to create a deep, dark hole into which the mentally ill are enclosed. I’ve had people who are very dear to me hide their mental illness. Their hesitancy to discuss their illness ultimately led them to take their own lives. The thing that affected me the most after these individuals passed away was people’s reactions to these situations. After the death of a friend of mine, I was told my friend had a heart condition and passed away after some sort of heart attack. Two weeks later, a relative of mine, who is very close to this individual’s family, told me, “I have to tell you something, but you cannot tell anyone, because the family does not want anyone knowing. They were suffering from severe depression, they overdosed on medicine and took his life away. Apparently they had been suffering for years from it, but the family does not want anyone knowing. The mom seemed very embarrassed about it.” At that moment I cringed and put my hand over my mouth. I found it disgusting that people so close to this individual placed him in such a dark place, and because of ignorance, pushed my friend to his death. Ignorance about mental health is a real problem in this country. Mental illness is the most stigmatized disease in this nation. Just the other day, I read an “Emory Secrets” post about an individual who broke down to their parents, admitting they were ashamed of having a mental illness when this individual is supposed to be okay. I am proud of this person for speaking out because the majority of people do not.

Just look at the impact mental illness has on college campuses. More than 45 percent of young adults that withdrew from college because of mental illness did not request accommodations. Half of these individuals did not access mental health services and supports, either. What I find most alarming is that the number one reason for not seeking help is the concern about the stigma. This stigma has pushed college students to a breaking point. Suicide has become of major concern for college campuses. Seven percent of college students have “seriously considered suicide” during the past year. Not only that, but suicide is the third leading cause of death on college campuses. We can change this; taking a different point of view can do a lot. How? By letting individuals with mental illness know that there is nothing wrong with having a mental illness and by being a supportive and loving community. Take the community in Zanzibar, which views schizophrenia as a possession of a spirit. Schizophrenic individuals receive better treatment there than first world countries. It is important to note that the word ‘treatment’ is not simply psychotherapy and medicine, but it is every single step the individual chooses to take for his or her betterment. Recent positive psychology studies show that the determinants of happiness are as follows: 50 percent is determined by genetics, 10 percent is by living conditions (i.e. socioeconomic situation) and 40 percent is up to the individual. Therefore, the individual has a vast majority of the control to flourish. If a mentally ill individual, with clinical depression, for example, takes the appropriate medication, therapy and engages in healthy life choices such as exercise, attending alcohol and drug

free events and enjoying every single moment of life, then he or she can overcome this predisposition. Even though the “recipe” for mental health treatment is written, people seem to be lacking in ingredients. What do I mean by ingredients? “Ingredients” are the understanding about what mental illness is and knowledge of the resources available. People’s oppression of mental illness is not only creating an emotional cage, but is covering people’s eyes, not allowing them to know about the resources around them. At the beginning of the semester last year, I was undergoing severe anxiety to the point that I couldn’t breathe or sleep. I contacted Emory’s Counseling and Psychological Services and found out about stress workshops, psychotherapy sessions, co-dependency group sessions and much more. After I learned about this, I thought about how students really don’t know about what is available to them here on campus. You know why? It goes back to the same issue of people fearing judgment or exclusion, so they ignore their illness and do not seek resources. To reiterate, we need to change our perspective, and we need to be more open. The treatment options are there but society itself is hiding them from those who need them. Thus, if we view mental illness in an open and positive manner, individuals will seek the necessary help and support he or she needs. Everyone deserves to be loved; everyone deserves to love him or herself. By changing our perspective about mental illness, 61.5 million Americans can be mentally healthy. Help mentally ill individuals speak out and seek help. So, are you ready to talk about mental illness? Eva Kassel is a College junior from Mexico City, Mexico.

ATLANTA EVENTS

Arts Blossom at Dogwood Festival Stephen Fowler Asst. News Editor Spring has sprung, and with it comes two staples for Atlanta residents: a yellowy haze of pollen covering everything in the Metro Atlanta area and the Atlanta Dogwood Festival. The festival, held April 11-13 at Piedmont Park, is one of the largest arts festivals in the country and features a weekend of food, folk art and beautiful scenery. Founded in 1936 by Walter Rich, founder of Rich’s department store, the festival has sought to bring prominence to Atlanta through the blooming of the beautiful white petals of the dogwood

trees. More than 250 artists set up around the Piedmont Park path to showcase works in mixed media, three-dimensional art, photography and more. Tiffany Ownbey is one such artist, who displayed works in mixed-media printmaking that won “Best-of” in this year’s festival. “I’ve been an artist since the age of 10,” Ownbey said as she pointed to a sculpture made from sewing paper and covered in stamps. “In order to appreciate mediums like this, you have to come in and see the bigger picture.” On Saturday and Sunday, the weekend featured “Backyard

Barbeque and Brews,” a food festival celebrating local picnic food, moonshine and other fare, and Disc Dogs, one of the most prestigious canine sporting events in the south. Thousands of visitors streamed in and out of the festival, chowing down on drinks from the Lemonade and Vodka stand or humming a tune they heard on one of the two stages filled with performers of all styles. Whether you are an ATLien or a temporary visitor, the Atlanta Dogwood Festival is one event you cannot “leaf” the city without experiencing.

HUMOR

ADVICE

‘Security Squad’ Provides Serious Security By Priyanka Krishnamurthy Editor in Chief College junior and Editorials Editor Rhett Henry and College sophomore Ben Crais have created a unique opportunity for students who like to party. The Atlanta-based duo, better known as “Security Squad,” provides security for a myriad of social functions. Henry, a double major in Creative Writing and Philosophy, and Crais, a Film major, first appeared as Security Squad at a birthday party in February of last year. As their Facebook page states, “the pair is committed to making things get weird and stay weird, but not in a bad way.” Their mission? Security. Their motive? Efficient partying. Though the two have ridiculously packed schedules, I fortunately had a chance to sit down with them and get better glimpse of their methods and lives outside of their profession as well as inquire about any future events where you may see them. Priyanka Krishnamurthy: How did you two meet? Rhett Henry: We met at a security-less party. Ben Crais: We recognized each other from our 8:30 a.m. logic class. RH: Like ships passing in the night... PK: Why did Security Squad originate? RH: We went to a lot of parties. Weird parties. We learned what made a party good and what made a party bad. BC: Security Squad was bound to will itself into being out of that kind of atmosphere. PK: Is there an internal system that you two follow to ensure that

I may be a skeleton, but my allergies are so bad that they’ve transitioned with me into the afterlife. Here are some tips for pushing through allergy season ... just in time for finals. 1. Find some local honey and eat one tablespoon per day. Although I believe in home remedies about as much as Neil Degrasse Tyson believes in creationism, this one may actually work. And if my metaphor holds true, this means Tyson has now transitioned from atheist to agnostic. 2. Start clapping your hands and stomping those feet: It’s time for a rain dance. Because, as we allergysufferers know, there’s nothing more beautiful than a day in peak-allergy season when the rain has washed all the pollen away. Except maybe not having allergies in the first place. 3. Shut the windows, barricade your door and lock yourself inside. There’s no better way to avoid the pollen than to literally avoid the pollen by staying indoors. Pass the time by starting to watch that show everyone watches that you feel like you just need to watch, or else you’ll have no friends. Hint: It’s probably “Game of Thrones.” 4. In a fit of angry rage, find the nearest flower or plant and destroy it, thereby showing it who’s boss. In reality, you’ll have just brought yourself closer to the devil that is pollen, but you might still feel better if you’re the vengeful type. 5. Claritin.

Coders From All Skill Levels Encouraged to Participate in Emory Hackathon Continued from Page 9 “80 percent of our budget doesn’t come from Emory,” he said. “That’s why we turn to sponsors.” Microsoft co-sponsored the event, in addition to other companies like Google, United Way, Uber, Zipcar, Wolfram, MailChimp, Mandril, Twilio and many others. The hackathon was also sponsored in part by Emory’s Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Department of Chemistry, Laney Graduate School, College Council and Robotics and Engineering Club. Sponsors helped provide food, prizes and speakers at the event. The prizes ranged from a Microsoft Surface 2 tablet for each team member, $500 in cash and one year WolframAlpha Pro/Mathematica passes for the Grand Prize winner to Startup Chowdown tickets at Atlanta Tech Village for the best startupfriendly hack. The best novice team received a $250 team cash prize and 6 month Code School passes. With prizes for novice teams and support available from experienced hackers, the event was open to all skill levels. “It’s really all about learning,” Mou said. “We wanted to focus on that aspect, not the prizes. We’re doing this for the Atlanta community.” The Atlanta community came out bright and early. Check-in started at 8:30 a.m., followed by a kickoff ceremony, tech talks and then lunch, which served as a meet and greet for the participants. Then, things got quiet and the hacking commenced. Food kept many hackers going throughout the event. Participants ploughed through five meals, 12 pounds of ground coffee, 150 bottles of Starbucks iced coffee and, of course, pieces upon pieces of pizza. “It’s not a hackathon without midnight pizza,” Mou laughed. Just before the midnight pizza, work began getting more intense all over the Math and Science building. Each team, consisting of a maximum of four members, only had 32 hours to complete their hacks. While some Emory students decided to go back to their rooms for the night, many of the hackers worked into the early hours of the morning, taking turns napping in various designated sections in the building. While teams were scattered across different rooms, the hub seemed to be room 208, the giant lecture hall. The room was quiet, but there seemed to be a charge to the air, like a sort of silent frenzy. “It’s usually even crazier than this,” College senior Christal Wang said. “I think some people went back to their dorms.” Wang was on a team with her

Christal and Patel, both novices, teamed up with Christopher, an experienced programmer, for the weekend. “We’re just here to learn,” Christal said, shaking her head with a smile. “This is Christopher’s thing. This is what he does on the weekends.” The trio’s app, named PhotoSinc, was a picture service that took photos from a phone, uploaded and tagged them on the cloud, and then sent them individually to the tagged person. Essentially, the app allows people to share photos but bypasses social media. “It grew out of being more private,” Patel said. “Chris and I aren’t fans of public social media.” Another team, consisting of Trevor Goodyear, Gene Chorba, William Wood and Gabriel Siewe, all CS majors from Georgia State University, created an app called Shelter, which provides a portal for homeless shelters to maintain databases of the homeless with pictures and information related to each individual. Though they are both CS majors, it was Goodyear and Chorba’s first

hackathon. “We tried to ask to be in the novice category,” Goodyear joked. “They said no,” Chorba said with a grin.

“We had people who knew nothing about coding make fully functional apps after learning basic platforms.” — Tom Mou College senior, Hackathon organizer

It ended up only being fair; Shelter won three prizes at the event, including Second Place overall, the United Way Hack for the Homeless Prize for the best hack that addressed an issue regarding homelessness and Best Use of Twilio application programming interface (API). The grand prize went to College senior Neil Sethi and his team members Angie Palm, Brendan Isham and

Shivani Negi, all students at Georgia Tech. Their hack, called Musiqu.es, was a sound sampling web application that allows users to act as a DJ on the go. Third place went to Parachute, an app that delivers ice cream directly to the consumer by quadricopter. The creators, all Georgia Tech students, are now talking to King of Pops about the opportunity to deliver popsicles to customers by dropping them in tiny parachutes. The high school team from Milton, Georgia took home the top new hacker prize. All hacks were due at 3 p.m., when each team was given three minutes to demo their app to the judges. Then, judges deliberated and awarded prizes at the closing ceremony. Closing ceremony speakers included Protip Biswas, vice president of homelessness at United Way of Atlanta, Devin Rader, developer evangelist at Twilio and Brian Easter, CEO of Nebo Agency. “Overall, the event was overwhelmingly successful,” Mou said. “We had people who knew nothing about coding make fully functional apps after learning basic platforms.

For the Squad, Security Is the Main Priority

Opportunities are awaiting you this week, Sagittarius! A small search could lead to huge rewards, especially when it comes to a long-term goal you have lost faith in.

The group of medical school students from Emory created a text-alert system that automatically alerts the authority in the event of a serious collision between bikes, motorcycles or cars. And yes, they knew nothing about coding before this.” But learning wasn’t the only thing happening at the event; participants also made sure to make time to have some fun. “Microsoft came out with a 3D printer for the first time and made stuff for people for free,” Mou said. “They also brought out 2 Xbox Ones.” However, despite all of Hackathon’s success, Mou believes there is still room for improvement. He hopes that each year’s success will build upon the next. The only place to go, it seems, is up. “We are already starting to work on next spring’s edition of the event, which will be much bigger,” he said. “More prizes, more participants, bigger venue. And bringing in people from across the South to make it the biggest hackathon for the South by the South.”

Eagles Keep Cruising in Shutout

Mountain Laurel Invitational Sewanee, Tenn.

By Shawn Farshchi Staff Writer

Pitching and Defense Send Vikings Home Scoreless Continued from the Back Page Although the Eagles won in a shutout, the game was closer than the numbers indicated. Berry deserves credit for keeping up with the Eagles in hits. The Vikings had eight hits on the day. However, the Eagles did a great job preventing the opposition from scoring with flawless defense. “We got up early and played great team ball to come out on top,” Peacock said. “The pitching was phenomenal today and we supplemented it with great defense.” This win will surely improve the

Eagles’ impressive resume for selection to the NCAA Championships, with the win raising their record to 25-9 on the season. The Eagles, in first place in the UAA Conference, will return to action this weekend, playing a home-and-home series against Georgia Gwinnett College, a NAIA institution. Emory will travel to face the Grizzlies on Friday at 7 p.m. before returning home to Chappell Park on Saturday for ‘Senior Day,’ with the first pitch scheduled for 2 p.m.

This past Tuesday, the women’s tennis team faced Brenau University at the Woodruff P.E. Center. Emory dominated throughout the six singles matches and the three doubles matches, winning 9-0 to extend their winning streak to seven games. Only the doubles matchup between Emory’s Gabrielle Clark and Michelle Satterfield and Brenau’s Dominika Jasova and Zalina Nazarova was in doubt, but the Emory pair prevailed 8-6. In all of the singles competitions, Emory did not lose a single set. Only the first set between Emory’s Melissa Goodman and Nazarova was close. Goodman was victorious in the set, and won her matchup after a retirement from Nazarova in the second set. After this victory, Emory improved their record to 19-2 on

the season. Emory is now ranked No. 2 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) rankings behind Williams (Mass.). With such an impressive overall season thus far, Emory is one of the top contenders for the national championship. They are led by Clark, a senior from Chicago, who is the top ranked singles player in the Atlantic South region. They have a mix of experience and new contributors, which bodes well for the current and future success of the team. Coming off last season’s second place finish in the NCAA Division III Championships, Emory is determined to win a national title. Williams is in the middle of a dynasty period, as they have won the past six NCAA Division III Championships. Emory finished second in both 2010 and 2013. The last time a team has been this dominant was when Emory won the national championship four times in

a row during the 2003-2006 seasons. In fact, Emory and Williams have won 12 of the past 13 national titles. Coming up, Emory travels to face Georgia Gwinnett on Monday. While Georgia Gwinnett College is not ranked in the top 30 in the ITA rankings, Emory will not take this match lightly. Emory must perform well in every match in order to both maintain their ranking and to keep momentum going into the upcoming NCAA Division III Championships in May. Considering many of the major contributors are freshmen, each additional match provides valuable experience and preparation heading into the crucial playoff matches. Overall, Emory is in top form and is looking to make a run at a NCAA Division III National Championship and end Williams’ six year run of dominance.

Chen admires his drive. He has been spending his recent time finding sponsors for the travel, equipment and tournament fees that playing professionally will require.

Chen Prepares To Make Golf a Profession Continued from the Back Page his greatest contribution to the team might be his role as a mentor. “[Chen] has been a great leader throughout his time at Emory,” senior Alec Berens said. “As a freshman he worked as hard as anyone else on the team. He has been a leader by example, and it has really had a profound effect on the rest of the teams drive and motivation.” Once Chen made the decision to build off of this success at Emory and play professionally, there was no downtime. Due to the expensive travel costs and high tournament fees in professional golf, securing sponsorship is essential, he said. “Once I made the decision, it was all about doing the leg work to make it happen,” Chen said. “It was talking with sponsors, budgeting, looking at tournament schedules ... It is also a lot of networking. Once I made the decision to play golf it was all about sticking with the decision and working toward the goal of playing on the tour.” Chen plans to use sponsorships from Taylor-Made and Bridgestone for his equipment needs and he has

secured funding from family friends in Houston to cover the tournament and travel fees associated with playing on the tour. The Texas native plans to stay in Atlanta in order to train and work as an assistant coach for the Emory golf team, but he will work to qualify for PGA Latin America and PGA Canada tournaments. As he prepares to navigate the complicated nature of the PGA tour — paying high fees, searching for tournaments and securing sponsorship — Chen has the benefit of knowing former Emory teammate, Ryan Dagerman (‘12B), who played professionally for two years after graduation. Dagerman has since moved back to the corporate world; he is currently working as an investment banker at TM Capital in New York. “He has talked with me a lot and helped me learn the things he did well, which I can copy, and the things he did not, which I can stay away from,” Chen said. “I always looked up to him as a freshman. I was always trailing him by a little bit in everything, and he has really been an inspiration and role model for me.” Support from the entire Emory

program has poured in for Chen, and not just from Dagerman. Head Coach John Sjoberg worked as a PGA golf professional before working at Emory, and many of Chen’s teammates plan to support him in the upcoming years. “I will try and attend any tournaments that I can, based on location and timing,” Berens said. “I think at this early stage of our lives it is important to chase dreams and do what you love. Berens added that he supports Chen’s decision to go pro. “He has been an incredible friend and teammate over the last four years, and I know he will succeed out on the pro circuit,” Berens said. For now, Chen and his teammates are focused on finishing out the spring season. This spring has been Chen’s best statistical effort. Two weeks ago, he won the Emory Invitational tournament with a 69 (-3) in the final round. Chen and the Eagles continue the spring season today at the Navy Invitational Tournament in Annapolis, Md.

This isn’t as immediate as Stephenson, but Walker has a contract extension opportunity this offseason, given that his rookie contract is set to expire after next year. The Bobcats have been horrible for so long, but after aggressively signing Al Jefferson, have made the playoffs. Granted, they are playing Miami, so Walker will not have much of a sample size to illustrate positive performance warranting of a large deal. But if he can keep them close, and overwhelm Mario Chalmers while also providing offensive and defensive relief for Big Al, he could possibly prove to management that he deserves to be the point guard of the future. If he plays poorly, Walker could be heading into restricted free agency, and getting disappointed by the lack of league-wide interest.

another level. In Memphis’ last five games, all wins, Randolph averaged over 20 points and 10 rebounds, and even peppered in 2.5 assists for good measure. The Grizzlies have a tough playoff matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. If Randolph can overpower Serge Ibaka and whoever else the Thunder throw at him, and if Memphis can make a series out of it, it would be fiscally intelligent for Randolph to opt out and sign another long-term deal. If the Grizzlies get wiped off of the floor, and Randolph looks lethargic and weak, he might have to settle for picking up the option, and realizing that his window for another large payday has finally closed. LeBron James, (every position — he’s the King), Miami Heat This isn’t about a financial decision, but more of a career move. Despite Kevin Durant having one of the best offensive seasons in recent history and taking up headlines, James has quietly had another one of his classic allaround spectacular showings. His ability to not only beat you every way offensively, but take out your best player on the defensive end, truly puts him up with the greats of this game. But James has a big decision (yet again) to make. If the Heat flame out, with Dwyane Wade showing his age and Chris Bosh failing to suffice as a third banana, James might have to recognize that his best opportunities may be elsewhere. And instead of opting out this season, it might be in his best interests to wait until 2015, when teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, and New York Knicks have sufficient cap space. However, if the Heat can pull off a three-peat, it would be almost a foregone conclusion that he would opt-out, resign for 5 more seasons, and act as a recruiter along with Pat Riley to recreate another Big Three once Wade moves on. Stay tuned this April and May. We might be headed towards The Decision 2.0.

LeBron might have to recognize that his best opportunities may be elsewhere.

Zach Randolph, power forward, Memphis Grizzlies Randolph has an opt-out clause in his contract for this offseason and, depending on his performance, his decision could be swayed significantly. Throughout the season, especially without Marc Gasol, Randolph had shown signs of deterioration. Yes, he has put up great numbers, but he wasn’t the physical force that had defined his tenure with the Grizzlies. People have even wondered whether his success depended upon Gasol spreading the floor. However, near the end of the season when a playoff birth was on the line, Z-Bo brought his game to

Bryce Jordan, a catcher for the Lake Charles Barbe High School (La.) baseball team, set a fairly remarkable record this weekend. He was hit by a pitch for the 30th time this season, to set the all time record for a high school baseball player. “Getting hit doesn’t bother him,” Jordan’s Head Coach, Glenn Cecchini, said in an interview with USA Today that your intrepid On Fire correspondent found on Yahoo! Sports. “He’s built like a Neanderthal, and he knows enough to turn away from the pitch.” The high school hit-by-pitch record has stood for 49 years, ever since Kenny Redding of Choctaw High (Okla.) was plunked 29 times in 1965. All of us here at On Fire are impressed and amazed by Jordan’s accomplishment, and we want to give him our sincerest congratulations. Cecchini has also impressed us with his mastery of the English language. “Built like a Neanderthal” is a wonderful way to describe someone. The images that word conjures, the feelings it evokes, the pictures it paints — Neanderthal is a much more effective word than brick wall, refrigerator or rhinoceros, the three words that immediately come to your synonym-loving correspondent’s mind when thinking of things one who is not hurt by hit pitches could be built like. Also, right now your TV-loving On Fire correspondent cannot stop thinking about the Geico caveman commercials. But we are glad that Jordan is smarter than a Neanderthal, judging from the fact that he knows enough to turn away from the pitch (no disrespect intended, if cavemen count among our loyal readers — from those Geico commercials I know how sensitive you guys are). Ultimately, we at On Fire are jealous of you, Bryce Jordan. Not only do you hold an awesome record, but also you get to be built like a Neanderthal. The only way that anyone would ever compare any of us here at On Fire with a Neanderthal is if one were referencing Zak Hudak’s hair. But going back to that whole awesome record thing, that is pretty cool. For one, it is a great fact about yourself to use while playing two truths and a lie. Just imagine being able to say, “I am from Louisiana, I have a third nipple, and I hold the high school record for the most times being hit by a pitch in a single season.” Everyone would assume that you do not hold a record as awesome as that and would then be a little disturbed by the fact that you have a third nipple. But the joke is on them! Let us take a quick timeout so that your often-misunderstood On Fire correspondent can be completely clear with his (or her) writers (and editors). There is nothing wrong with having a third nipple. You were just born that way. It is a thing you cannot help about yourself, just like your blessed On Fire correspondent cannot help being devastatingly handsome and side-splittingly funny. In fact, all of us here at On Fire think it would be pretty cool to have a third nipple. The fact of the matter is that lots of famous people have third nipples, which makes it ok for us regular people to have them too. Mark Wahlberg has three nipples. Marky Mark, of Funky Bunch fame! Yes he has not been in a good movie in a while, but that is almost definitely because he is short and getting old (two things which we at On Fire do not approve of at all) and not because of the third nipple — we are almost positive of this. Carrie Underwood had three nipples. We say had because she got it removed because she was embarrassed about it. If only she had read this column first, this tragedy might have been prevented. We at On Fire always say that if our words can inspire just a single person, we have done something worthwhile with this dumb spacefilling column. To all you boys and girls out there with third nipples, keep them. They will come in handy when you play two truths and a lie. And to be clear, the reason that we do not like Harry Styles is because we genuinely dislike him as a person, not because of his third nipple (or because we are macho and like to trash boy bands to prove it). So anyway, mad respect to Bryce Jordan from all of us here at On Fire for his record setting season. And, for all our curious readers, our intern is still working on confirming whether or not she has a third nipple.

ATHLETE PROFILE

Men’s Tennis The fourth-ranked Eagles took down 24th-ranked Washington and Lee University (W&L) (Va.) 7-2 at the WoodPEC last Wednesday. They won five of six singles competitions and two of three doubles competitions. In the top singles spot, junior Alex Ruderman defeated the Generals’ Taylor Shamshiri in two matches. In the No. 2 singles spot, junior Eric Halpern defeated W&L’s Michael Holt through three matches. Emory’s only singles loss came in the No. 4 spot, where W&L’s Jordan Krasner defeated junior Ian Wagner in three matches. The Eagles No. 1 doubles team of Ruderman and Wagner fell to the Generals’ Shamshiri and Holt. With only one outing remaining before the University Athletic Association (UAA) Championships, the Eagles have won seven of their last eight match ups. Featured Athlete: Ian Wagner Junior Ian Wagner has been awarded the Sonny Carter Scholarship, which is annually presented to an Emory student who is devoted to reaching his or her full potential and who betters his or her abilities for the common good. This scholarship will play his tuition for one academic year. Wagner played a major role in the team’s 2012 national championship, with a singles record of 24-4 and a doubles record of 20-5 while teamed up with Elliot Kahler. In 2013, Wagner and Kahler won the first NCAA Doubles Championship in the program’s history. Wagner has a .831 (64-13) career winning percentage in singles play, ranking him fourth in program history, and he has been selected twice to the AllUAA First Team. Although Wagner’s athletic accomplishments at Emory have been great, his academic accomplishments have been equally strong. The physics and mathematics double major has a 3.89 GPA and has been named to the Academic All-UAA team the past two years.

Senior Johnathan Chen watches his shot from the backswing. Chen, who said he was distracted from golf at the start of the season, decided that he will play professionally after graduation. Two weeks ago, he finished the Emory Invitational with a score of 69.

Jonathan Chen Takes Care of Business A Goizueta Student off the Golf Course and a Star on It By Nathaniel Ludewig Senior Editor This fall didn’t go according to plan for senior golfer Johnathan Chen — well, not on the golf course anyways. Coming off a third place overall finish at the 2013 Division III National Championship tournament, Chen was in the middle of the statistically worst season of his career. Meanwhile, off the course, Chen, a Goizueta Business School student, was focused on his professional career: in August, he signed an offer

letter to work at KPMG’s consulting group in San Francisco. Even after the career victory of receiving an offer, something felt off for Chen, who is studying finance and strategic and management consulting. It wasn’t until his finals were over and he returned home to refocus on his golf game that he realized he wasn’t ready to give up golf just yet. So, instead, Chen decided in January that he would play professional golf after graduation. “Mainly it was me realizing that I have my whole life ahead of me to work in the corporate world ... but I

can be a consultant after I play golf,” Chen said. “The opportunity to play professional golf is not always going to be there. What put me over the edge to play golf over the corporate world was realizing that golf has been the dream I’ve always wanted to follow.” When Chen speaks about his golf dreams, it’s not the typical athlete’s story. Chen’s primary focus was on tennis until an ACL tear in the beginning of high school forced him to move to golf full time. This late start to his golf career meant he never focused on the professional game

and didn’t look up to the PGA tour’s biggest stars, such as Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, as many young golfers do. Chen had never attended a professional event until his freshman year at Emory. “I think my love of the game started with Dad,” Chen said. “He put the club in my hand for the first time and taught me lessons, like that you can’t show up to a tournament unprepared. It was really an outlet in that way for teaching me a lot of life lessons, and that has truly stuck with me ever since.”

Once Chen chose to play golf at Emory, he experienced immediate success. In his debut during the 2010-2011 season, his 74.21 scoring average was the lowest for a freshman in school history. He followed this performance up with first team all-University Athletic Association (UAA) honors during his sophomore year, before finishing third overall in Division III in his junior campaign, leading the Eagles to a fourth place overall finish in the division. Despite his on-course success,

Eagles Top Berry, Win Sixth Straight Playoff Players With The Most at Stake

By Michael Scheck Staff Writer The baseball team extended their winning-streak to six games Wednesday, shutting Berry College out 5-0. The loss was the first time Berry was shut out this season. More importantly, it was a hard fought game and a gratifying victory for the Eagles. The game picked up very quickly after freshman pitcher Hans Hansen retired the side in the top of the first inning. The Eagles came out swinging in the bottom of the first, scoring three quick runs. Senior Jared Kahn led the charge with a lead off double. Kahn scored on a bunt single by senior Brandon Hannon, accompanied by a throwing error. Senior Daniel Iturrey then hit a gorgeous ball up the middle to send in Hannon. After stealing second base and advancing to third on Berry’s second error, Iturrey scored on a groundout RBI from junior Wes Peacock. After the first inning explosion, the Eagles settled in and played great baseball. Hansen led the squad with three strikeouts and zero runs allowed through seven innings. Senior Robert Gross and freshman Kyle Monk finished the job out of the bullpen, allowing one total hit total over two innings pitched. “Hansen pitched a spectacular game,” Hannon said. “He carried us

Hansen improved to a team-best 7-1 on the campaign with a 2.59 ERA and is now 4-0 with

a miniscule 0.90 ERA over his last four starts. While Hansen was dominating Berry’s batters on the defensive end, Junior Jordan Selbach was dominat-

ing on the offensive end. Selbach batted three-for-four in the contest, raising his average to an impressive .342.

Hello, and welcome to another edition of The Beej Knows Best. We have been shifting gears all season long, with articles about social issues to articles about the NFL Draft to articles about basketball. This one looks deeper into the upcoming NBA playoffs. Although much of the analysis in basketball during this time period revolves around which team is most likely to win the NBA Championship, there are serious implications for individual players as well. For example, J.R. Smith, coming off of a Sixth Man of the Year Award, played horrifically in the playoffs, and eventually had to come back to the Knicks on a modestly-sized deal. Granted, he was paid much higher than he probably should have been and for much longer than he should have gotten, but James Dolan really doesn’t care about money or basketball or anything. It is not all bad though. There have been countless instances of players having mediocre seasons, but turning

it up in April and parlaying their performance into lucrative deals. These might not be the biggest differencemakers, but these are just the players who I believe have the most at stake, and need to play phenomenally well to either gain a massive extension, or prevent losing one. You might even have players who look at their overall team’s performance, to determine whether or not the squad is moving in the right direction. Let’s look at who has the biggest to gain or lose this spring: Lance Stephenson, shooting guard, Indiana Pacers Boy, the Pride of New York City is quite the enigma, am I right? It is almost like two boxers with completely different personas facing off every night, and you never know who will prevail. In the left corner, we have the league leader in triple doubles, the man who can orchestrate the offense when it is stagnant, and the man that has matured so significantly from the boy he was coming out of Cincinnati. In the right corner, we have an overtly emotional guy who has hurt his team not only by losing his temper, but also by trying to take over games instead of allowing one of the league’s best players in Paul George to control the
