Students, teachers, supporters rally at Capitol for education reform

By BAILEE BOGGESS A&E Editor On Monday, April 2, teachers from all over the state came to Frankfort to protest the latest updates to the pension bill. According to reports from the Kentucky State Police, there were around 3,000 protesters in attendance.

Other sources have reported upwards of 12,000 protesters.

Many schools across the state were closed for spring break, but those who were not closed for the brreak were closed due to the massive amount of teachers that took a sick day in order to protest. It was considered monumental, as it is a rarity that all schools in the state would be closed at the same time for something other than inclement weather or a holiday.

The day began as teachers marched a half mile course down and around Capitol Ave. After that, they went inside the capitol building and began to line the walls with some even going up to the bal-

conies. Some described it as a “sea of red,” as the teachers have adopted red as their color of choice for shirts, posters and other things.

Protesters came for different reasons, a common one being financial–related concerns. Funding for schools has always been a concern among many in the public education system. Chris Harmer, chairman of the Alliance to Reclaim Our Schools – Louisville, said that “Money for the centers and other support services is key to addressing inequities in education,” and “If we’re going to move toward equity in education, we need full funding” (Courier Journal).

Stephanie Winkler, President of the Kentucky Education Association, told the Courier Journal, “If [lawmakers] don’t pass a budget that protects the public services of Kentucky, if they don’t pass a budget that provides adequate funding for the public schools of the Commonwealth, then we’re going to vote them out.”

With the upcoming elec-

tions in November, many teachers are openly expressing their dissatisfaction with representatives from their counties as well as leaders like Gov. Bevin. However, Attorney General Andy Beshear has retained a positive reputation among protesters due to his plans to sue over the pension legislation (Courier Journal) Many Georgetown College students went to protest, including students within the education department.

Abby Eads, a senior elementary education major, said, “I do not think that Matt Bevin understands what a powerful and special role that educators play in our world and society.

I protested not only for my future career and students, but also for the current and previous educators that have taught before me.”

Prior to the events on Monday, protesters had been flowing in and out of Frankfort since the Thursday before.

Chanting and signs could be seen and heard on Good Friday, even though many

These protests are also in line with others in different states including Oklahoma and West Virginia.

After the protests in Frankfort, many teachers and their supporters found solace online. Posts are circulating on many social media sites, with Facebook being the most common. Different groups have been created, both secret and not, to help facilitate discussion and promote a call-to-

action among citizens. Nema Brewer, a Fayette County school employee and former GC student, started the KY 120 United group which now has over 42,000 members.

She told the Courier Journal, “Right now, we’re trying to get everybody’s ducks in a row.”

There have been rumors that another mass protest will happen this Friday, but nothing has been confirmed as of now (Courier Journal).

Georgetown College hosts Take Back the Night

By LAURA CALLIHAN News Editor As a part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Georgetown College hosted the annual “Take Back the Night” event this past Tuesday April 3rd at 7 p.m. This rally is an important event for students and faculty alike to raise awareness about sexual assault.

On the campus calendar, Georgetown College described the event as “the earliest world—wide stand agains sexual violence, especially violence against women. Each year, Georgetown College students, staff and faculty gather together to talk about the steps we are taking to prevent sexual vio-

lence from occurring and how we’re working to provide support for survivors of sexual violence. This event also allows survivors and friends of survivors to come forward and share their stories, if the are so moved.”

This event is an important part of making sure that Georgetown becomes a safe community for students and faculty. It is currently sponsored by Dr. Kristen Czarnecki, a passionate advocate for this cause.

GC Sophomore Alex Brody has attended the event for the past two years. He was disappointed that the event was not as well advertised as it has been in previous years but still enjoyed the event. He said it is “very

good [that the event takes place] because sexual assault is very real. It’s good that Georgetown acknowledges that.”

Brody also enjoyed having a diverse group of people at the event. Not only did students attend the event, but many professors and faculty from Student Life including the Dean of Student Life & Dean of Students, Laura Johnson also attended the event. He said that he was “truly honred to be a part of it.”

Students and faculty are continuing to raise awareness this month about sexual harassment through different events on campus including the SAAM Film Screening and Discussion this Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Asher 112.

women on the other hand could buy the goods for 8o cents.

This difference was meant to highlight the average pay gap between men and women. Race and ethnicity also contribute to the pay gap. In a study, the AAUW discovered that Asian women earned 90%, Black or African American women earned 63%, White women or non-Hispanic women earned 77%, Pacific Islander women earned 59% and Alaska native women earned 57%.

The trajectory from 1960—2016 showed pay equity would be reached in 2059. However, the new trend taken from 2001-2016 shows equity may not be reached till 2119 (AAUW).

Long said the majority of people buying from the bake sale had positive reactions. “The main thing, is to increase awarness about the pay gap.

The more people know about it, the more they can do to decrease it,” she said.

Her fellow sisters contributed to the the bakesale’s success by baking and helping to sell the goods. Lindsey Phillips, Kallie Flemming, Tori Hafner, Caroline and Hannah Kinsey, Emil Evans, Mikaela Adams, Hayley Baker, Emily Harrod all contributed to the sale.

Money raised from the sale was donated to the National Organization for Women.

By RACHEL CHEATHAM Web Editor April 10 is the national Equal Pay Day. Every year since 1996, the National Committee on Pay Equity (NCPE) has worked to increase awarness for the pay disparity between men and women. Why specifically April 10th? “This date symbolizes how far into the year women must work to earn what men earned in the previous year” (https://www.pay-equity.org/day. html) This year, to raise awarness Phi Mu’s Maddie Long organized a bakesale with a twist.

News Jeff Hoover harassment GC Equine Team hosts case settled over Equine Week inappropriate texts Issue 9

April 11, 2018 Page 3

By LINDSEY PHILLIPS Staff Writer

By ROSS SMITH Features Editor Former Kentucky House Representative Jeff Hoover, who became the subject of a sexual harassment scandal, reached a settlement behind closed doors this Tuesday, April 10.

After deliberation from the ethics committee, Hoover has been charged with a $1,000 fine and has been issued a public reprimand from the board. He will also have to admit that he violated a state statute. The decision was made almost unanimously with only one ‘No’ vote (wkyt.com).

The woman who received these messages and made the claim was at the hearing but did not speak. Her attorney agreed to the settlement reached by the ethics committee.

The scandal was based on text messages sent by Hoover, which he acknowledged were “inappropriate.”

In his hearing, he reiterated, “I have from day one acknowledged publicly and privately that the text message bantering that I engaged (in) with a staffer was inappropriate. I acknowledge that again here today. I acknowledge that technically that would violate the ethics statute” (courierjournal.com) While Hoover admitted the texts were inappropriate, he maintained that it was not harassment, and that the accuser never said it was unwelcome.

Jeff Hoover appears at a rally.

In his hearing, Hoover also lamented that the case has taken its toll on both his family and his physical health. “It is a quick way to lose 46 pounds but I don’t recommend it,” Hoover said in his hearing Tuesday morning.

Hoover resigned from his position as House Speaker in January due to pressure from colleagues after he and three other Republican lawmakers signed a confidential settlement with a legislative employee. In the settlement, the four GOP lawmakers gave the accuser $110,000.

The other speakers, Rep. Jim Decasare, Rep. Brian Linder and Rep. Michael Meredith had their harassment complaints dismissed during a hearing last week (wkyt.com).

Despite these circumstances, Hoover is currently running for office again unopposed.

Equine week is a tradition on campus hosted by the Georgetown Equine Scholars Program. Students who are involved in this program put on events to showcase the importance of the equine industry to peers, faculty and staff.

The first event of the week was a Nexus event on the different disciplines included in the horse industry. This event was educational and planned by the scholars themselves. “Our scholars created presentations on the disciplines they specialize in to educate their fellow students on different areas within the equine industry including anatomy, western pleasure, barrel racing, eventing, saddleseat, hunters, jumpers and equine assisted therapy” Eileen Cody, Equine Scholars director. GC students were able to stop at the different booths and learn more about how horses are so unique.

Junior Sophia Allen works to educate the public about Equine Industries.

For the first time, a competitive stick horse race was held on Tuesday outside pawling lawn. Junior Bethany Jones kept the best record of 9.88 seconds. The trusty steed for her ride was a stick horse named Sebastian.

THE GEORGETONIAN/LINDSEY PHILLIPS

Part of the equine team poses together after making horses for the stick horse race.

On Wednesday evening, “Secretariat” was shown in the Meetinghouse conference room. Secretariat is a very well known race horse that broke records and made history during his racing career. He is most commonly known as a coveted Triple Crown winner. He won the set of three races, The Kentucky Derby, Belmont Stakes and Preakness Stakes in 1973. This was an informational session on a celebrity of the equine industry.

Lee Carter, the Executive Director of Equestrian Events spoke on Thursday during the 11 a. m. Nexus hour. Equestrian Events is the corporation that puts on the Land Rover Kentucky Three Day Event in Lexington. Carter gave a lecture on the importance of the equine industry and how it affects everyone in KY, not just people who love horses or work in the industry. Horses are a large part of Kentucky’s revenue and tourism for various races and horse events.

The Equine Scholars Program wanted to show fellow students why they too, should care about the advancement of the equine industry.

Overall, this group of students on campus put together a week of events to showcase their passion for horses to the GC community.

Patrick Reed makes headlines after worldclass performance in Masters

By ETHAN CUNDIFF Staff Writer

Green cups, green hats, green gloves, everything green. Nothing like getting that green and white invitation. Everything you see is green here at the Masters.

Every player just wants to get that green! Not money, but the green jacket.

In the past we have seen some pretty good finishes to the Masters. Gary Player came from behind from 7 strokes to win; Jordan Spieth’s meltdown allowed Danny Willet to get the green. But, this year the Masters was different.

Tiger Woods was returning to Augusta for the first time since 2015. Phil Mickelson

was coming hot, and so was Rory Mcllroy. The old guys were trying to give the young studs some competition this year. Spieth, Fowler, Thomas and Reed were not having it.

The national tournament started on a chilly Thursday morning when Player and Jack Nicklaus took the ceremonial tee shots. The field was ready to make some noise, but, out of all the excitement, who was going to come out on top?

Everyone thought Woods and Mickelson were going to make some noise. Well, they did, but not in a good way.

Mickelson started out strong, but after the first day, both him and Woods fought to make the cut.

We saw the reigning cham-

pion Sergio Garcia put four balls in the water to make a 13 on the par–5 15th hole.

But where were Woods and Mickelson going to finish after streaky starts? It was not the weekend that either planned for. They made the cut but were not able to make any noise. Both shot over par: Woods, one over; Mickelson, two over.

Spieth had a hot start on the first day shooting six under but shot two over the second day. Going into the last day, he stood nine strokes behind the lead. People were not expecting him to make any noise the last day, but he showed them who was boss, shooting a 64 to finish 13 under par.

The man who stole the

spotlight was Patrick Reed.

After going three under after the first round, he then shot a six under the second day taking a commanding lead.

Don’t forget about Mcllroy and Fowler making a little noise on the third and fourth day to give the people their money’s worth.

Reed held a three–shot lead over Mcllroy and a five– shot lead over Fowler heading into the final round. It was a tight finish for Reed. Spieth came back from nine strokes to tie Reed at one point in the final round. Mcllroy gave him a scare, too, but fell off on the back nine.

Spieth was not the only one Reed had to worry about.

Fowler was slowly creep-

ing up on him. Reed held a two–stroke lead over Fowler with two holes to play, while Fowler headed into his final hole. People were thinking Reed had it in the bag. Not for long, Fowler went on to cut the lead to one–stroke after birding the 18th hole.

Reed had some nerves showing on the last hole after a shaky drive. He was able to get the ball on the edge of the green his second shot.

Only needing two putts to win the Masters, everyone gathered around the 18th hole to see the finish. Missing the hole on his first putt by an inch, Reed went on to put in a five–footer to seal the win by a stroke. The green jacket was his, for his first major win.

Georgetown names Brent Chase new head coach of men’s soccer team

By BAILEE BOGGESS A & E Editor

As the next soccer season begins, there are going to be some changes both on and off the field. New players will be joining the team in the fall, as well as a new coach. Brent Chase was named as the new men’s soccer coach by Brian Evans, GC Athletic director, on Apr. 5.

Former coach Derek Willis will now be working with the Kentucky Youth Soccer Association to help with player development. During an interview, Evans stated that he is “excited at what the future holds as

we bring in Coach Chase. We had a lot of phenomenal applicants, but his resume, work ethic, passion and desire rose to the top. I know our program is in good hands and the future is bright.”

Chase comes from the Finlandia University men’s soccer team, where he helped them achieve their first winning season in 2015. He has also worked as an assistant at Ohio Dominican University for eight years.

During his collegiate career, he played for Columbus State Community College until an injury caused him to quit the sport. He helped lead

the team to a 2000 conference and become a regional runner– up finish.

He also won several awards during his time at the school, including First-Team All–Region and 2000 Nike National Goalkeeper of the Year. After leaving Columbus State Community College, he graduated from Ohio State University.

Chase credits his success as a coach to the experience he’s gained throughout his career, particularly in Finlandia. In an interview, he stated, “I’m thankful to Finlandia for giving me my first opportunity and allowing me to really

grow as a head coach.”

He also looks forward to working with students and other faculty members at Georgetown. He said, “It really has afforded me this opportunity with Georgetown, which I believe is the right fit for me.

From the moment I stepped on campus, it was great to see how the students interacted, the culture and atmosphere created by the faculty, staff and students as well as the amazing facilities available to us. I want to thank Brian Evans and President Dr. M. Dwaine Greene on extending me this opportunity and trusting in the vision I have for the

future” (Georgetown College).

Kyle Settle, a junior and member of the soccer team, looks forward to meeting the new coach. He said, “We are sad to see coach Willis leave but we are hopeful for the future of the program. I’m very excited about the new coach. The players are excited to meet him as well.”

Chase is confident that his efforts will help the GC men’s soccer team improve. “I know those schools year in and year out will have the talent, but I know what I’m capable of and what I can bring in. I’m excited about the product we will be putting on the field.”

New MLB season offers the Good, the Intriguing and the Ugly

By LOGAN SMART Staff Writer

The Major League Baseball season is a week and a half in, and wow have we had some fun. Here are the top storylines to keep an eye on this year (all stats from mlb.com): The Good 1. Shohei Ohtani – when you’re a rookie with a .389/.421/.889 slash line and three homeruns in only 18 at bats you get mentioned in the broadcast. When you do that while also starting two games on the mound with 13 innings pitched, 18 strikeouts, a 0.46 WHIP, and an opposing batting average of .093, you become a household name.

2. Bryce Harper – Harper has a league leading six homers in 10 games and is absolutely smashing the ball when the opposing team doesn’t walk him. Harper currently touts a .553 on base percentage.

3. Pitching – Clubs’ Opening Day starters have not disappointed; Clayton Kershaw, Corey Kluber, Max Scherzer and others of the top tier are in mid–season form.

The Intriguing 1. Mets and Pirates – Two division leaders that, even if it is only two weeks in, are worth paying attention to. The Pirates (7-2) look unfazed from the loss of Andrew McCutchen and are playing well, but with four of those games coming

against the cellar–dwelling Reds. The Mets (8-1) went into D.C. and swept the NL East favorite Nationals, it’s hard to ignore that.

2. Yankees power – Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez and Giancarlo Stanton are supposed to lead the most devastating lineup in baseball.

To this point, that hasn’t happened as Stanton has struck out a whopping 20 times in 10 games and Sanchez is carrying a .063/.091/.188 line.

3. NL West division – The Diamondbacks (8–2) look like a team on a mission to take home the division crown in what looks to be a jam–packed division. It’s an even year, and the Giants will be back.

The Ugly 1. Cincinnati Reds – Yes. Our beloved Redlegs (2–7) have digressed into the ugly category. This season was meant to be the springboard to success within the next year or two; instead it has become a pit of misery. Beginning with injuries to Anthony DeSclafani and Brandon Finnegan before the year and now Eugenio Suarez and Scott Schebler, the year has not taken off as expected.

Combine injuries with poor performance from Billy Hamilton and Jose Peraza, the odd 12–day signing of Yolando Gallardo, and you get a Reds team that has looked hapless through nine games.

2. The Indians Offense –

Somehow Cleveland is a .500 ball club through ten games, but it has had nothing to do with their production at the plate. The Tribe has scored more than five runs only twice this season and possess an MLB worst team batting average of 0.158, ouch.

3. Florida baseball – Miami and Tampa Bay fans (all 100 of them) have had little to cheer for this season. The Marlins (3–7) played in front of a home crowd of only 7,003 fans just last week. To be fair to the Rays (2–8), they opened with division favorites Boston and New York; however, unlike in Cleveland, there may not be many brighter days ahead for these two clubs.

Features More Than Cake is worth the walk downtown Page 6

By DEMETRIUS HARRISON Staff Writer For newcomers, relocating to Georgetown can be a bit of a culture shock. I have never lived in a town that has one Walmart, Kroger and one of everything else. There is one main road that takes you everywhere you need to go, and a lot of people seem to become familiar with each other. If Georgetown did not hold the newly introduced Toyota plant and lure in adolescents through Georgetown College, I would classify Georgetown as a ghost town.

However, that is what makes this city so irresistible.

Filled with dozens of local restaurants on Main Street,

The Georgetonian

beautiful, historic architecture and naturally attractive scenery, Georgetown has no struggle captivating its visitors.

As I am approaching the end of my second semester at Georgetown, I realized I have not explored what Main Street has to offer. Located near Royal Spring Park lies More Than Cake, a unique fusion of a café, bakery and American restaurant.

Immediately upon entering More Than Cake, I felt like I was in my grandmother’s house due to the sweet aroma and smiling faces. With a motto of “if you can dream it, we can bake it,” you feel in complete control, and that is exactly the position the employees want to place you in.

It seems that most people visit the local business to design customized birthday cakes, cupcakes and other various desserts. However, you also have the option to dine at the eatery.

Inexpensive and completely worth the fix to your sweet tooth, I treated myself to a Blueberry Turnover, iced sugar cookies and the softest brownies I have ever had in my life–all under $7.00.

I think what sets apart More Than Cake from your traditional Kroger bakery is that you understand you are supporting a local business.

Secondly, the welcoming atmosphere and their goal to cater to every customer make them different.

More Than Cake offers breakfast and lunch. Everything is custom–made. There are gluten–free options and vegan options for an extremely affordable price. For breakfast, I tried the amazing southwestern steak burrito, and I highly recommend it. There are also options of omelets, hash browns and fries. Some of the lunch options you are able to enjoy include veggie or white chili soups, a BLT, wraps, grilled cheese, chicken and dumplings and a Georgetown Philly.

Something else I noticed was community involvement.

Over Easter, there was an Easter gift basket giveaway, reminding you that you do not have to be a child to enjoy

sweets, snacks and receive gifts for holidays!

If you have not heard of or visited More Than Cake, I highly suggest it. When the weather permits, it is just a walk down Main Street directly across the street from Galvin’s. If you have any event– birthday, wedding, holiday, I would suggest getting a customized cake there. I saw birthday cakes designed into cars, record players, the cookie monster and they all look colorful, realistic and yummy! I even noticed some macaroons!

Typically open from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., visit More Than Cake with your buddies at 150 West Main Street.

On TripAdvisor, it has a 4.5/5 stars. A leading rater on the website stated that Thai Garden is the “best kept secret in town,” and that “the service is always friendly and all of the staff are super nice” (TripAdvisor).

They offer many different types of traditional Thai food, with the most popular dish being the Pad Thai.

Prices range from $7.99 for a basic chicken fried rice dish to $11.99 for anything that contains seafood. Highly rated dishes are the Red Curry, Pad Thai, Mango Fried Rice and Drunken Noodles. Each has its own unique flavor. Customers can also choose the amount of

heat they want in the dish, allowing the meals to be customizable.

I have been going to Thai Garden since my freshman year at GC and have never had a negative experience.

The food is always cooked fresh and served hot, so I have no complaints in that area. If anything, I would have to say that the sporadic closing times are very inconvenient for customers. The owners do TRIPADVISOR.COM not give much warning prior to closing for several weeks, rant is nice, the already large which does make it hard for portion sizes get even bigger! random visits.

They will entirely fill the to-go My one piece of advice for box, allowing you to get more eating at Thai Garden would for your money. be to get the order as take–out.

Georgetown student Renee While eating inside the restau- White says, “I highly recom-

mend the drunken noodles and the pineapple fried rice.

They are both very good and I enjoy the different options of levels of spiciness.”

Becca Slagle, a sophomore who has never been to Thai Garden said, “I hope to get to the restaurant as soon as possible to taste the delicious food, because I have heard so many good things about it from my friends.”

Overall, I highly recommend trying Thai Garden.

They have great options whether you enjoy eating Asian–style foods or not.

The best kept secret in Georgetown

By BAILEE BOGGESS A&E Editor In recent years, the city of Georgetown has expanded by building many new restaurants and shopping centers.

Because of this, students at Georgetown College have more choices to eat, shop and hang out. However, despite the influx of new business, many students still return to their old favorites. One of the most popular and my personal favorite is Thai Garden.

Located beside the Save–A– Lot just outside of downtown, this hole–in–the–wall Thai joint is one of the best restaurants in town.

“Fortnite” isn’t as annoying as it seems

By DEMETRIUS HARRISON Staff Writer

If you haven’t been living in a box for the past few weeks, you have experienced the explosion of “Fortnite” whether you have wanted to or not.

Video game designer Darren Sugg composed “Fortnite,” a free multi–console game released July 25, 2017.

Off to a slow start, the survival game faced liftoff about a month or two ago, turning into the game no teenage boy can shut up about.

I have not played video games since “Call of Duty: World at World” and “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas” were popular, if that tells you anything about how up–to–date I am in the video game world.

As someone who does not find amusement in gaming, of course every-

one raving about the new fad became annoying to me. That is, of course, until I played the game.

Believe it or not, living in Anderson Hall does have its perks: community living. I had a neighbor knock on my door asking to hang out, and we wound up playing “Fortnite.”

I was expecting it to be a battle type of game where everyone was in a warzone, but I was completely wrong.

I played a little bit of “Clash Royale” every now and then in high school, and that is exactly what “Fortnite” reminded me of.

Actually, I would describe “Fortnite” as a mixture of “Call of Duty”’s campaign mode and “Clash Royale”’s development/theme.

“Fortnite” is a free–for–all, every man for himself. You start every 100– player “Battle Royale” game by jump-

ing out of a helicopter of some sort and parachute into an area of your choice.

Once you land, you defend yourself from other online players around the world trying to eliminate you and vice versa.

I will admit, “Fortnite” is extremely addicting. In fact, I found “Fortnite” so addicting that I downloaded it on my iPhone as well as my PC after playing with my friend.

I would not say this game is anything near practical, but that is the fun in playing.

You develop skills to advance forward in the game by learning which guns, weapons and hiding spots to ditch and which to keep using.

I kept playing for about two-hours, landing my highest score of 26th place out of 100, which I think is a good score! I still do not know much about

the game, however.

With that being said, I urge everyone to try out the game. I was extremely frustrated with all of my friends who played because I wanted to hang out, but I was consistently getting, “after this game of ‘Fortnite.’”

I would suggest playing because it is unlike anything I have played before while also being so similar to games already available in the game market.

“Fortnite” has reached so much success because of its availability to everyone.

You will need an iPhone 6s or newer to play on your phone, but it is available on every Xbox, Playstation, PC, Mac and most likely other gaming platforms.

I have found myself losing sleep trying to beat my high score, and I no longer roll my eyes every time I hear Fortnite being mentioned.

ArtsEntertainment New music: from under ground to mainstream

Issue 9

By DEMETRIUS HARRISON Staff Writer

I really appreciate underground music. Generally, before artists achieve mainstream success, they put their all into their music, making it irresistible.

I also appreciate when artists incorporate visual imagery techniques into their lyrics.

In the final days of March, Shaun Frank and Martina Sorbara released “Tokyo Nights,” a euphoric dance record produced by English DJ Digital Farm Animals. Reminiscent of a Chainsmokers duet, the vocalists reflect on earliest memories of falling in love.

You could dance in the rain to “Tokyo Nights.” Better yet, I can imagine this song blaring as I’m happily lost in the heart of Times Square attempting to discover my independence.

tion of emo music, each song is unique, conglomerating almost every genre of music into a three–minute production.

“Rescue Me” converts you into a confident beast, owning your perfect flaws, with a weakness for a dance chorus.

KYLE and Kehlani, two artists who are mostly known for recording hiphop music teamed up for upbeat R&B/ Pop ballad “Playinwitme.”

The single is a direct audio interpretation of the famous “This could be us but you playin’” tweets.

Catchier with each listen, this seems to be the only song I enjoy from the pair besides “CRZY,” “iSpy” and “Sex & Super Smash Bros.”

It is impeccable how versatile of an artist KYLE is. He can go from rapping over insane, base–heavy beats, then switch up to soft pop beats like “Playinwitme,” or electronic beats like “Sex & Super Smash Bros.”

Kehlani showed growth as a vocalist on the new single, singing less childish lyrics and being more relatable.

I highly recommend this song be added to any playlist of songs you listen to for sing–a–longs, game nights or nights you spend at home cooking with friends.

The Weeknd also released “My Dear Melancholy,” an EP that addressed his relationship with Selena Gomez that sent Twitter into a frenzy. This is his first major release since 2016’s “Starboy,” and it features two features with Gesaffeistein, mostly known for his 2013 song “Pursuit.”

The Weeknd’s playlist is primarily slow R&B music, with “Call Out My Name,” and “Try Me,” being most popular

It’s a pretty interlude that helps solidify the soulful tone Misch was after.

The next surprise came with the inclusion of “Man Like You,” a cover of a Patrick Watson song that Misch performed on COLORS, a YouTube channel for live shows by popular artists in every genre.

Drawing from his talents as a beatmaker, funk/jazz guitarist and singer–songwriter, Misch has created something special. While Misch obviously has help, he has taken the helm on this album, having a hand in every step of the process.

I’m excited to see where his vision takes him with his next album now that he has even more experience creating.

Renaissance producer Tom Misch releases soulful debut

By ROSS SMITH Features Editor While the modern musician needs a broad set of skills to survive in the music industry such as mixing their own songs, editing their own videos and even marketing themselves, it’s difficult to come across artists who truly do it all.

The artists who accomplish this feat of mastering each essential element of music–making are the trailblazers that will inspire the next generation of creators.

Tom Misch is one of those artists.

The 23–year–old South London producer has been making jazz influenced hip hop beats since he was 16, releasing a beat tape, some singles and a music video for his song “Crazy Dreams.” Personally, I first heard of him from a YouTube video by RedBull

When I am not procrastinating or napping, you can find me serving at Cracker Barrel in Georgetown. Whilst working my shifts, I often get complaints from customers that I forgot to bring them straws with their drinks. Now, I will let you in on a secret: I didn’t forget; I just simply chose not to bring them.

This year as a New Year’s resolution, my best friend, Maddie Long (a sophomore environmental science major), decided to give up using straws with her drinks. After being inspired by her decision and commitment to helping preserve our beautiful planet, I decided to research the use of disposable plastic straws in the United States.

Five hundred million plastics straws are used and thrown away daily in the United States. This staggering number is enough to wrap around the circumference of the Earth 2.5 times a day (thelastplasticstraw.org).

These straws fill landfills and often end up in our oceans.

The Last Plastic Straw is a project started by the Plastic Pollution Coalition dedicated to educating the public on the ugly truth behind single use plastic (thelastplasticstraw. org). They have started a global movement to eliminate single use plastics and encour-

age people to simply request “no straw” with their beverage.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the U.S. is behind on this global effort as our country tends to care very little about the treatment and suffering of our environment. Many parts of the United Kingdom have already acted against detrimental plastic pollution.

The Environmental Secretary of Scotland, Roseanna Cunningham, plans to ban the manufacturing and use of plastic straws by 2019. The Shetland Islands in Britain also have a plan in place to eliminate plastic straws in the near future (independent.co.uk).

While much of our country is disgustingly carefree when it comes to environmental concerns, especially our oblivious wrecking ball of a president, certain states are making strides towards change.

In California, Malibu has eliminated plastic cutlery from their restaurants and replaced them with paper, bamboo or wooden utensils. The City Council voted to ban plastic straws and eating utensils to preserve the beauty of beaches and oceans. Malibu has also banned plastic bags and foam containers (washingtonpost. com).

Seattle, WA., Davis and San Luis Obispo, CA. and Miami and Fort Meyers, FL., have also eliminated or greatly reduced the use of plastic straws in

restaurants and places of business. Malibu is just the latest to join the movement (nytimes. com).

If you are looking for a way to ease yourself into an environmentally friendly lifestyle, giving up straws is an excellent first step. All this movement takes is dedication and consciousness.

If you want to join this movement and show Mother Earth some love but are hesitant about losing your straws, I recommend ordering reusable straws online or picking them up at the store! You can buy them at Walmart, Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond for under $10. You could also buy them online in bulk.

If you want to move even further with your mindful environmental efforts, appeal to your favorite restaurants to go straw free. Present them with the facts and numbers, and then tell them about the reusable alternatives.

Our country is headed towards a barren, conservative cesspool with our careless waste and pollution, but it is not too late to make a difference. Woman up and take the first step towards a better Earth for future generations.

Ask for drinks without straws and tell others about the movement. Encourage those around you to be less wasteful with their plastic usage. It only takes a small step to create a large change.

Kentuckians are too mean to each other

By LAUREN PARKINSON Copy Editor Alright, Kentuckians.

Here’s the deal. As someone who has lived in Florida, Alabama and Mississippi and moved to Kentucky this past year to attend Georgetown College, I have never in my entire life met a group of people who stereotype/dislike other sections of their own state so much.

Never have I lived in a state where people say things like, “Oh, she’s just like that because she’s from northern Mississippi. They’re all like that,” because they only live two hours away from us, so there’s no difference. Why on this good green earth do Kentuckians think people are

so different from them just because they live two hours east? Especially when they’re still in the same state?

Here’s a few things I have heard about some areas of Kentucky. Apparently, folks from the eastern side of the state tend to be hicks. Why is this a general assumption of just this side? Is there an invisible line that separates the hicks from “normal people”? Where is it? How does one avoid it?

The west might be the most ridiculous. For example; “No one even lives there,” said Evan Moore. “They’re not real.” And he’s not the only one who thinks that. Apparently, many people don’t consider the west to even be part of Kentucky. They just think

of it as part of the midwest because it’s flat and not very populated. Rude. What has it ever done to you?

I have heard many people say that the southern part of the state tries to be “the deep south,” like Alabama. To this, all I can say is: you are all hypocrites. I came up to Kentucky to try to find a little northern culture, for goodness sake. But you all think you’re part of the south. You’re disappointing me. Kentucky didn’t secede in the Civil War. You get snow regularly. You’re not the south. Stop it. Believe me, it’s nothing to brag about anyway.

Now, central Kentucky really confuses me. Taylor Reese, for example, said that people there, “think they’re

the only part of Kentucky that matters because they have horses.” Actually, she seems to be right. I mean, why does central Kentucky call themselves “the bluegrass”? Isn’t that the nickname for the whole state?

Don’t be selfish. There’s about 40,000 other square miles of Kentucky. You’re not special.

I’ve also heard the north and west called NKY and WKY. This is ridiculous. Why are you so segregated? Why do you do this to yourselves?

My next bone to pick has to do with cities. Why does Louisville seem to be the only real city? I’ve heard countless people say that Lexington doesn’t even count as one. I’ve even heard, “Frankfort isn’t actually a city.” Seriously?

Your own capital? What is wrong with you?

The only complaint I have heard about Louisville is that it is too close to Indiana,. which brings up the curious fact that Kentuckians all seem to absolutely loathe any state surrounding it, a topic I unfortunately do not have enough space in this article to rant about. (Are you just bitter because you’re not on the coast?)

To conclude, Kentucky, maybe you should take a moment to realize how similar you all are. Don’t hate on each other because you live two hours away. Heck, hate on the Mississippian. At least you could find some actual differences there.

forbid we mix genres of music.

Florida Georgia Line has been completely trash-talked for combining country and pop. I, for one, love it. I think it’s creative and sounds amazing.

Music is not the only art we categorize. We put titles on movies: romance, drama, comedy, mystery... however, people enjoy when these categories mix: rom-coms. We put books into similar categories. While books and movies combine labels, there’s only one spot in the library or store for them. So where can we put these items? Under more specific labels.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a neat freak, so I love having my items in certain spots around the room. And I’m an education major, so I totally enjoy having boxes with little labels to organize all the materials and paperwork.

However, these labels affect us. The worst is when these labels are placed on us.

Are you an athlete or artist?

Are you outgoing or shy? Are you a nerd or a slacker?

We as a society feel a pressure to fall under these categories. Why can’t you fall under more than one? Why can’t you be an ambivert – an intro-

vert and an extravert? What’s wrong with being athletic but also musical (@ Troy Bolton)?

Think of all the labels there are out there. And even though we are supposed to check mark specific categories, and despite the fact that we all take BuzzFeed quizzes to find out what type of fruit we are, it is okay to decide your own labels. You decide who you are, and being different is what makes humanity cool. If we all fell under the same categories, life would be so boring.

It’s okay to be shy with new people, but outgoing with the friends you’re comfortable

with. It’s okay to take school seriously, but not to the point where you don’t have any fun.

It’s okay to be a traveler – but only when you can afford it.

It’s cool to go to a fraternity party after leaving your house, because family and being social are both important to you.

You see, there’s so much more to us than labels. There’s if’s, but’s, and when’s. We are more complicated than just one word, and that’s okay. So ignore society’s rules and file cabinets. Be what makes you special and different.

Categories should not define humans

By WHITNEY BRYAN Copy Editor As I’ve grown older, I’ve realized something: America loves categories. We have an obsession with placing people and items into specific file cabinets with one unmoving label on each.

We have to check our ethnicity when taking tests: are you Asian, Caucasian, African American, Latino... or other?

You must fall under one, or if not in the box below, please explain.

We categorize music. Is it pop, folk, jazz, or rap? Heaven
