SGA back in full swing after a year of Partial Operations The Atlanta Senate passes a record number of resolutions on Day 1.

COBY DAWKINS Staff Reporter

G

eorgia State’s Student Government Association Atlanta Senate held a session on September 2. The meeting was full of legislation that impacted the university community significantly.

The SGA focused on resolutions that would bring students in the Georgia State community together safely.

Here are some of the rulings that significantly impact the university community.

1. Welcome Back to Campus:

After a year of partial operations, SGA passed an opinion resolution to officially welcome students back to campus. The resolution states that the Atlanta campus senate is a representative body of all students on the Atlanta campus. The Student Government Association of Georgia State University shall set the tone and mood of the student body. The resolution was introduced by Senator McCullough and sponsored by Speaker Livnat. Eighteen senators favored the resolution presented, and there was one abstention. The legislation shall take effect immediately.

2. New Ad Hoc Safety Committee:

The University and SGA are all about making the university and surrounding communities safer. The Student Government Association passed a special order to establish an Atlanta Ad Hoc Safety Committee. Three students represent the Atlanta campus. This is similar to the committee started by then Senator K. Thomas and Freshman Liaison K. Lockett.

The goal is to work with community officials and advocate for the Georgia State community for policies that aid the university. The law was introduced by Senator Diana Mejia and backed by the Speaker of the Senate, Ira Livnat, and Senators Sebrina Wilson and Senator McCullough. The Senate voted to pass the legislation, which takes effect immediately. The committee voted 14 for the resolution, five against, and one abstention.

3. Greenspace Integrity and Sustainability

This academic year, the Georgia State community has yet another communal space at the core of the Atlanta campus. SGA is determined to encourage students to maintain the newly developed green space.

The new resolution was introduced by Senator Diana Mejia and sponsored by Speaker Livnat. The resolution urges students and staff to support and respect the new communal space.

As the school year is in full swing, the usage of the new green space has become heavy, and signs of deterioration have become apparent. The new legislature would put maintenance and sustainability of the greenspace first. All 20 senators passed the legislation and shall take effect immediately.

4. More Campus Involvement

Student involvement and engagement across the Georgia State campuses is declining after a year full of online classes and a semi-empty campus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The legislation was introduced

by Senator Petit-Frere and sponsored by Speaker Livnat; the support resolution will encourage student involvement on all Georgia State campuses.

The Senate is working to encourage students to get involved and join student organizations. The legislation will allow the Atlanta campus Senate to advocate for and on behalf of organizations and programs. The Senate passed the resolution, with 18 in favor of the bill and two against it. The legislation shall take effect immediately.

5. Senate Vacancies Filled

As the school year is officially underway, many senate vacancies need to be filled from graduating seniors that once held those positions. The SGA held a special order to fill vacant Senate positions not filled by way of the Spring 2021 ballot election process The Senate

appointed Atiyah Kennedy as undergraduate senator for the Andrew Young School of Studies.

Kamilah Sabree, Raegan Bolden, Tori-Marie Palmer, Jadee Williams, Sophia Logan, and Sabinah Wilson were all appointed undergraduate senators for the College of Arts and Sciences, Robinson College of Business, and College of Education and Human Development respectfully.

Elizabeth Storm and Jerry Thomas were appointed as graduate and professional senators for the Andrew Young of Policy Studies and the College of Arts and Sciences. David Hollifield and Patrick Hanson were appointed as senators of the College of Law. All appointees were passed and shall assume all responsibilities effective immediately.

The Student Government Association provides various ways for the student body members to get involved within the Georgia State Community.

The SGA holds general body meetings biweekly and is open to all students. The SGA encourages students to attend, and to learn about what the SGA is doing for them.

There are many volunteer opportunities at SGA for students to understand how the government association operates.

Students can let them know what they are interested in, and the community can align the perfect position to the individual’s interests. The SGA has listed all vacancies on their Panther Involvement Network page.

Their office hours are from Monday to Friday (8:30 a.m. – 5:15 p.m.) on all campuses to contact the SGA. The Atlanta campus phone number is (404) 413-1600, Alpharetta (770) 274-5607, Clarkston (678) 891-3225, Decatur (678) 891-2741, Dunwoody (770) 274-5391, and Newton (678) 891-2683. Anyone that wants to share feedback or concerns can share via their questions and concerns form located on their website at sga.gsu.edu.

GSUPD and SGA discuss safety.

The Atlanta senate invites Chief Coleman to speak.

KENNETH LOCKETT III Managing Editor

T

he Atlanta Senate held its second meeting on Sept 16 which further set forth Student Government’s commitment to getting things done. At this meeting, the central focus was safety as Interim GSUPD chief Anthony Coleman and Major Nicolay Hammond were guests for the meeting. They shared with SGA a number of new policies within the organization. These are just some of the things GSUPD is doing not just on the Downtown Campus but on the Perimeter Campuses as well.

New Cameras/No Call Boxes

If you ask many of the upperclassmen still left at Georgia State they can tell you all about the broken call boxes. However, many have forgotten them already as they were removed, which was met with a small uproar from the Atlanta Senate.

Don’t worry about it, explained Chief Coleman, “The call boxes simply weren’t being used, in an audit, we took on the callbox use most of them were from repairmen and officers testing the boxes… they cost a lot to maintain. So we shifted those funds elsewhere.”

One of the programs is new cameras, “We are getting some 400 new camera’s around our campuses… funding is coming from the money we aren’t spending on those call boxes.” said Major Nicolay Hammond

Joint Policing

GSUPD has teamed up with the Atlanta Police Department and the MARTA Police Force to engage in biking patrols in high-traffic and high-crime areas.

These include both the Peachtree Center and Georgia State MARTA stations and the Atlanta Underground path where Popeye’s and Rainbow are located.

Strategic Policing

Major Nicolay Hammond went in-depth about the department’s placement system. “We get data from the Registrar’s Office about when and where students are so we can place officers accordingly.” She explained citing specific examples. “We have an officer that walks from the Andrew Young building and works his way down to Aderhold. He does that about 8:30 so he can wake some of our sleeping residents and help them to where they need to be.”

She also mentioned late-night patrols near the RaceTrac on Piedmont Ave. due to the ever-increasing late-night activity at the location.

Mental Health

Chief Coleman discussed mental health first aid within the force as well, “99% of our officers are crisis

intervention certified, we made a commitment to having 100% of our force trained and we are upholding that promise.”

On average police forces have 40-60% of their staff trained, GSUPD is blowing that statistic out of the water. They also teamed up with the Center for Counseling and Test to have mental health first aid training. They have already begun to train other departments such as the Dean of Students and University Housing.

GSUPD also is asking everyone to download the LiveSafe App. The app allows students to report both emergency and non-emergency crimes. It also has a safety map that shows AEDs and University buildings that have security staff on site. The app also gives students the ability to request safety escorts, access emergency event procedures, send crime stoppers reports and share their location with emergency personnel.

“LiveSafe is the quickest and easiest way to get in contact with GSUPD” said Chief Coleman, the app also allows you to add other universities in the state such as Georgia Tech. So no matter where you are you have access to emergency services through the app.

Housing itself has no wants or needs – homeowners and designers do, though.

PHOTO BY A KATZ ON SHUTTERSTOCK.COM

Long Island to Buckhead

Homeowners make up cities – and they’re quite practical.

I TREVOR KOSLOSKI

Staff Columnist

used to do a lot of house sitting outside the perimeter. I hated it. You always encounter the same pallid cabinets, lacquer countertops and vinyl floors colored like the inside of your eyelids. Gleaming light washes every spot in the place.

The exteriors may change, but the interiors are consistent. The kitchen reads like a bathroom, and the shaker doors convey nothing at all. I will venture: these houses have no conceit.

Robert Moses was not born in New York, but it would be where he lived, died and still seems to live in the parkways and asphalt of the city.

When interested parties talk about cities – I am guilty as charged – we offer designers a world-anterior position. They are provident actors, writing scriptures whose truth is revealed in a Whole Foods on tenth, or bike lanes on fifth.

Moses had a world-anterior idea: Black people and white people should not coexist. His colleagues suggest he designed the Upper Eastside from this notion.

He imagined highways reaching out towards sprawling bayside suburbs, dotted with secluded houses filled by white people under grey mansard roofs.

Atlanta’s population density, despite the city’s growth, is sparser today than in 1940. 60% of the city is zoned for single-family dwellings, with the northside almost exclusively zoned as such.

Buckhead is like Long Island in that way: remote archipelagos built up, outside and away from the city. Atlanta and New York are like sprawling grids, designed for the sovereignty of single families floating around in automobiles between connected dots making up boxes impenetrable by the buses, trains and wandering pedestrians.

I would like to daydream well enough to make designers into authors of living space. I would like to feel something transcendent when walking through the Virginia Highlands. The experience is more immediate, though; as is design.

I would like to believe homes not yet flensed inside and out by the uniformity of gentrification have some great idea bound up in them – though this seems like a paltry religion. Then again, I am not a designer.

The New Yorker’s Calvin Trillin wrote of John White, a black man in a white New York suburb. White’s son, Aaron, was an unwelcome guest at a party in 2006.

Partygoers allege it was due to the meaningless intricacies of high school drama.

His attorneys would allege it was due to the very potent intricacies of him being black at a white party.

Aaron was confronted by similarly unwelcome guests at the foot of his driveway that evening. Later upended in court, a rumor had circulated, claiming that Aaron threatened to rape a guest at the party.

His peers from some eight hours earlier were there to kill him. His father shoots and kills one of them instead.

Trillin handles the particularities of the evening better than I might; I am

unconcerned with John and Aaron White themselves, as such. I am concerned with Talmadge Woods.

Like most involved (however indirectly) in the mechanisms of politics, one fact drives designers: they map neighborhoods to sell them. On some level, all designers write their scriptures with an unwavering idea – the market.

Moses holds the privileged position of being remembered, however dubiously.

The cosmos of designers and stakeholders and development firms and joint ventures shuffling between dots and boxes on the Upper East Side – between pallid, paneled halls and lacquer desks outside the Atlanta perimeter; they do not share a spot in our memory.

The world will probably remember John White – I cannot say the same for Talmadge Woods.

The concept Moses would have intended to build up inextricably from the city, born in the concrete boulevards, was as much a daydream as our naming him “Master Builder.” Black and white people do not live on separate sides of New York because of some monomaniacal idea laid out by one single man – segregation is more practical.

The cosmos of city planning built up Atlanta and New York the same as any other city with a housing market – with the intention of sale for profit, a constant circulation of land and bricks on the open market. We would be giving undue credit to designers were we to make them the divine agents of racism.

Culture should not reward Moses and the illustrators of Buckhead with a level of grandeur – they do not deserve the satisfaction of scorn. The backend of their functions is the financial advisors, the khaki-clad envoys to city councilmembers who make their ideas feasible. The Homeowners’ Associations, the quieter Klansmen with alarm systems and Ring doorbells, were the real-world correlates of the designers’ imaginations.

John White received sympathy because he was among the Long Island constituency, the Buckhead constituency. He owned a home and was willing to kill for his home. John White, in turn, went to jail because he was Black, and Talmadge Woods was a white neighborhood, and the dead kid was a white kid. White faces sell homes – the choices were practical and without meditative design.

I will probably house sit again. I will drive out to the hilltops above the meandering streets, and I will resign myself to the starkly bright kernels of those homes, away from the windows and the doorbells and the whole spectacle outside.

There is no excellent idea bound up in any home, as far as I can tell. A house is ugly, and a market has no story but its immediate practice, and I mostly hate housesitting because no symbolic reading is needed. There is no prying at a subterranean idea, mystified by design – the whole ordeal is quite plain: these neighborhoods are for white people.

Atlanta is never going to be the ‘New’ NYC The Various Differences Between NYC and Atlanta

O GABBY MILLER Staff Columnist

ver the past years, the comparisons between Atlanta and New York City have only grown. Many people in Atlanta like to call it the ‘New’ New York City. However, comparing New York to Atlanta is like comparing apples to oranges. Atlanta has had a lot of construction over the past few years, but the constantly evolving skyscrapers are not why people compare Atlanta to New York.

Atlanta and New York City are on two different levels, especially when we talk about the population differences, the area differences or career opportunity differences. For instance, the New York population is three and a half times larger than Atlanta. The vast population is due in part to the fact that New York is simply bigger than Atlanta. Many people live in New York City, and it has more room to support its massive population.

The various high-end shops, living quarters and activities in New York City often make it more appealing than its southern counterpart.

When you want to do something in the arts as a career, you go to New York. Many people on Broadway choose to come to New York City because it is the heartland of American theater.

Atlanta is trying to be the ‘new’ New York City, but it does not have the same opportunities that New York City has.

Atlanta has several art colleges, but options in Atlanta are limited compared to New York City. For the Broadway scene, this is especially true.

In New York City, people can see the newest shows that have made waves on the internet. In Atlanta, we never get the latest Broadway shows here. It usually takes a few years for it to make its way into our Fox Theater. Furthermore, when it does, it is always costly.

When a Broadway show comes to the Fox Theater, it always gets a massive amount of attention. The city will place advertisements for everyone, and people are excited to see these shows in person. People get so happy because we are delayed access to these shows.

Another reason Atlanta will never be the ‘new’ New York City is that there are more artistic career opportunities in New York City. When someone thinks of New York City, they

might think of the various art colleges.

Many people aim to go there because they believe they could get their next big break if they move there. Atlanta does not offer the same types of opportunities.

New York City and Atlanta have too many significant differences.

Though Atlanta is trying to be the “New NYC,” it simply can not top the appeal of living in the Big Apple. Atlanta should stop trying to be something it is not.

Book Review: My Year of Rest and Relaxation Moshfegh shows us: the fear of death is a comforting thought.

I TREVOR KOSLOSKI

Staff Columnist

n 1945, French theorist André Malraux provided an addendum to the 18th century: if the concept of a god is dead, so is humanity. However, that mindset misses the point. We stopped believing in humanity much before we ever turned a critical prism to god.

It would seem trivial to note that the unnamed protagonist Ottessa Moshfegh’s 2018 novel, My Year of Rest and Relaxation, mirrors this idea. They are without God and probably without a concept of humane.

Set in flitting images of 2001 on the Upper East Side, Moshfegh acquaints us with our Columbia graduate and heiress through delirious self-descriptions. The first of which is, naturally, a run-through of her financial situation: she is collecting rent from tenants in her parents’ home; she has inherited a fortune in the form of an investment portfolio; imperatively, she “has a high credit limit on her Visa card.”

She notes, as though reassuring herself: “I wasn’t worried about money.”

Moshfegh’s central character is instead affected by a constellation of anxieties, intricate but incoherent to a third party, entirely familiar only to those within the same surplus labor pool. Manhattan is like East India in that way.

Indian agricultural redevelopment has driven a population of indigenous Adivasi yeomen to the margins of the subcontinent, either rehired for pennies or swept into the Naxalite insurgency.

New York’s cultural redevelopment has driven the regular population of wouldbe artists and dilettantes out of their standard fixtures, either hired into more unbecoming commercial work or receding into the warm embraces of nepotism from which they first burst into life.

The former party is worried about money. The latter has more room for philosophy, convincing themselves of their intellect. Our Columbia-graduate heiress spends pages assuring us of her erudition, especially relative to that of all of her friends and peers.

She is not worried about money: she is worried about the contracting horizons of her life. She is concerned about her feelings, the sensual world and about dying without having quite lived.

So, she takes handfuls of pills and sleeps through the year. A year inside. It is a year of rest and relaxation, assuaging her always tasteful anxieties and taking the time to convince herself both of the universality of the feeling (a human condition) and that she is among the only people so cunning as to understand it.

She has slept so that she might be awake again. Malraux circles back in his speech: we must reinvent a concept of the human, such that humanity might recognize itself.

Malraux recommended that people make this definition based on common fear of the universal constant, its reality renewed by the Holocaust: death. We all die, and all humans are alike in this way.

Though we do not all die the same way. The untalented artist living off of their inheritance sits inside her cloister, in fear of death, a distant threat to her livelihood.

It is anxiety; it is the anticipation of an unbecome death. The displaced farmer dies every day. They have no such anxiety.

The book concludes with her rewinding the images of the Twin Towers collapsing, over and over, fixated on a diving woman, arm splayed upwards as she falls. She concludes that a coming death endows us all with humanity.

She is wrong; she misunderstands death, comforting herself with a tasteless sense of its reality. Death is a simple fascination for those who will never quite die; it is their good feeling.

ATL vs NYC: Who did it better?

Two iconic cities and their greatest athletes

MALIKAI COLLINS Staff Reporter

The Big Apple and Peachtree are two cities that have hosted professional teams for nearly half a century. New York is known as “The Mecca’’ with a vast history of professional athletes coming out of the five boroughs. Down south, Atlanta may be a smaller city, but they’ve had their fair share of professional athletes in their younger years.

The Hawks and Knicks playoff series brought the Atlanta and New York rivalry into the spotlight during the 2021 NBA playoffs. The feisty Knick fans, combined with Trae Young’s ability to settle in and accept his role as the villain, made for five games of pure entertainment. Young’s bow to cap off his game five daggers added fuel to the fire and cemented a long-lasting rivalry.

With both cities having over a million people in their metropolitan areas, there has been room for plenty of people to make a name for themselves in the sporting world. As such, both cities have had some all-time greats represent them.

Walt Frazier Born and raised in Atlanta, Walt “Clyde” Frazier attended the same high school as Martin Luther King Jr. and David Maynard. Ironically, Frazier played for the now rivaled New York Knicks for ten seasons, becoming the defensive catalyst and floor general on two championship-winning teams in 1970 and 1973.

A seven-time All-Star, Frazier began his career by earning a spot on the 1967 NBA All-Rookie Team. From there, he won 1975 All-Star game MVP and earned seven All-Defensive First Team selections. Frazier was also selected to an All-NBA roster six times, with four First Team and two Second Team selections. The Knicks retired his number 10 in 1979 and he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1987. “[Frazier] was a superb defender, turning the steal into an art form,” Bleacher Report’s Ricky Frech wrote.

Dwight Howard Though some may be skeptical, there is no denying Howard’s impact on the NBA during the 2000s and into the early 2010s. After the Orlando Magic selected him first overall in the 2004 NBA Draft out of Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy, the expectations were high. However, Howard met them and, some would say, surpassed them.

An eight-time All-Star, Howard has been on eight All-NBA teams: Five First Teams, a Second Team, and two Third Teams. Howard won three straight Defensive Player of the Year awards from 2009-2011 with the Magic. He also led the league in rebounds five times and blocks twice.

But none of those achievements trump the 2020 NBA championship he won with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Robert Mathis Though Mathis had humble beginnings in Dekalb County, he built himself a Hall of Fame resumes up north in the NFL. Mathis played defensive end for the Indianapolis Colts for 14 seasons, becoming a vocal leader and a defensive captain.

Mathis was a five-time Pro Bowler, an All-Pro First Team member and the AFC Defensive Player of 2013. Mathis the NFL’s all-time leader in forced fumbles and strip-sacks.

Cam Newton After carrying an Auburn Tigers football team that featured no future NFL players on the offensive side to a national championship, the Carolina Panthers took Newton with the first pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.

With the Panthers, he would garner the name “Super Cam,” winning the Offensive of Rookie of the year and receiving Pro Bowl honors three times.

Newton’s breakout came in the 2015 season when he took home the NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year before ultimately leading the Panthers to appear in Super Bowl 50

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Abdul-Jabbar’s end-all, be-all is simple: nobody’s scored more points (38,387), made more field goals (15,837) or won as many games (1,074) in an NBA uniform. In 20 NBA seasons, he won six championships, including two Finals MVP awards. He was an All-Star in all but one year.

He was a member of 15 All-NBA teams and 11 All-Defensive teams. He also led the league in scoring twice, rebounds once and blocks four times.

Many consider Abdul-Jabbar the best center in NBA history, and some even call him the greatest player in NBA history.

Alex Rodriguez Originally from Manhattan, Rodriguez began his legendary career with Seattle Mariners as a shortstop before a stop with the Texas Rangers.

Then, he returned home in 2004 and brought a World Series Pennant to the New York Yankees in 2009. A-Rod was a 14-time all-star, a threetime American League MVP and a two-time Gold Glove Award winner.

Rodriguez is also a 10-time Silver Slugger, a four-time AL Hank Aaron Award winner, a five-time AL home run leader, a two-time RBI leader and an MLB Batting champion. His 696 home runs rank fourth all-time and he hold several MLB records including most career grand slams (25).

Simply put: the guy is one of the best to do it in the majors over the last 25 years.

Mike Tyson One of the most feared boxers ever, Tyson was born and raised in the infamous Brooklyn neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant. He is considered one of the hardest-hitting heavyweight boxers ever and many consider him one of the greatest boxers ever. He held the Undisputed World Heavyweight Championship from 1987 to 1990.

Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history, winning the belt at 20 years old, four months and 22 days old. He started his career off winning 19 straight fights, 12 of which were knockouts. He was also the first boxer to hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles at the same time before becoming the lineal champion by defeating Michael Spinks in 91 seconds.

Lou Gehrig Born in Manhattan, Gehrig would play the first baseman for his hometown Yankees for 17 seasons. With Gehrig’s ability to hit the ball and durability, he became known as the “Iron Horse.” Gehrig was a seven-time All-Star, a six-time World Series champion, a two-time AL MVP, a three-time AL home run leader and a five-time AL RBI leader.

Gehrig also won the Triple Crown and the AL batting championship in 1934. Following Gehrig’s career, he would have his number retired by the Yankees and become a Major League Baseball All-Century Team and MLB All-Time Team.

Although he retired in 1939, he still holds four career MLB records, including Most Consecutive seasons with 120-plus RBIs and the highest on-base percentage by a first baseman at a phenomenal .447.

“No one will ever forget Lou Gehrig, the baseball player of man,” Bleacher Report’s Giancarlo Ferrari-King wrote. “He’s an all-time cultural icon whose character and will to fight [to] stand the test of time.”

Broadway opens the curtain to the public After their most extended break in history, Broadway is open GRACE BRASWELL Staff Reporter

A

fter being closed for a little over a year, the most prolonged period in its history, Broadway is finally pulling back the curtain and opening its doors to patrons and theatre lovers alike. Broadway closed on March 12, 2020, after announcing that COVID-19 was rapidly spreading throughout the United States.

Since then, Broadway remained closed for the safety of audience members, announcing tentative reopening dates but then continuing to cancel these dates until correlating CDC recommendations stated it was safe to return. With vaccines rolling out and mask mandates in tow, Broadway is finally starting to allow the show to go on and the hiatus to end.

The first two shows to open, Waitress and Hadestown, returned on September 2nd. Sara Bareilles, composer of the music for the Broadway adaptation of the film Waitress, made her way to the center of the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in New York City to sing the first notes a Broadway theatre packed with audience members have heard since the beginning of the pandemic.

Waitress, a musical about a very talented baker struggling with the grievances of an abusive marriage, whisked its way through the theatre. The actors and actresses sang and danced through a story filled with laughter, heartache and compassion as audience members watched in awe.

The return of something as iconic as broadway is enough to make any theatre fanatic cry. Still, the choice to premiere Waitress led to several teary eyes in the Ethel Barrymore that Thursday afternoon.

That same day, just about an hour after Waitress began, a pair of shiny silver boots worn on the feet of Andre de Shields strutted their way out onto the Walker Kerr theatre stage as the Tony award-winning show Hadestown started for the first time in two years.

Hadestown takes place in a mythological village and tells the heartbreaking story of Orpheus and Eurydice, arguably one of Greek mythology’s most devastating

love stories.

Intertwined within Orpheus and Eurydice’s story is King Hades and his wife, Persephone. The story takes place in the underworld and takes audience members down the literal road to hell.

“

After being closed for a little over a year, the most prolonged period in its history, Broadway is finally pulling back the curtain and opening its doors to patrons and theatre lovers alike

With the opening of Waitress and Hadestown, Broadway has slowly begun to open other shows as well. These shows include Six, Moulin Rouge!, Aladdin,

Several shows are opening again on Broadway in New York City and at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta after the most prolonged hiatus in Broadway history due to COVID-19.

Wicked, Hamilton, The Lion King, Dear Evan Hansen and others.

After COVID-19 hit, Broadway soon became one of the industries most affected by the pandemic. As businesses continued to reopen slowly, the lights on Broadway remained diminished. The pandemic left thousands of performers without a job.

Since the governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo permitted Broadway to reopen starting in September, national theater tours have also returned. The return of these tours has also brought life to theaters around the country.

The Fox Theatre, Atlanta’s most famous theatrical performance venue, also fell victim to the spell COVID-19 cast over the performance industry. What was once a lively, lit and thriving venue soon shut down. Although The Fox Theatre reopened back in July, Broadway in Atlanta truly made a comeback with Hamilton’s multi-award-winning show.

Hamilton, written by Lin Manuel Miranda, is a musical infused with rap-like songs and modernsounding music. Hamilton began gaining popularity in 2015 after debuting at the Richard Rogers Theatre in New York City. Hamilton started showing at The Fox on September 14th and will be offering shows until the 24th.

Several other national tours will be making their way to the Fox Theatre stage, including Fiddler on the Roof in November, Tootsie in January, Jesus Christ Superstar in April and Mean Girls in July. The Fox will also be showing several types of concerts on a broad spectrum ranging from the folk-acoustic sound of The Avett Brothers to the southern comedy Georgia native Jeff Foxworthy provides.

Although Broadway and the performing arts community were hit the hardest during COVID-19, there is a large audience of music and theatre lovers alike ecstatic to return to the bright lights, big performances and busy theatres.

Artist Curt Tha Kreator shares his backstory Curt Kenner shares his journey in the world of music.

KARA MARTIN Staff Reporter

W

ith Atlanta being the home of many famous and creative individuals, talent is not hard to come by. However, the Atlanta native Curtis Kenner, also known as Curt Tha Kreator, finds inspiration from his life and its people.

Kenner is a junior Film and Media major and an Art minor at Georgia State. He continues to live up to his artist name every day as he enjoys pursuing many creative pathways.

“Some of my interests are music, film, dance, fashion, drawing and creative directing,” Kenner said. “My grandma was also a big influence growing up because she was a music teacher, so that influenced me to start creating music.”

In addition to his grandmother, other aspects of his childhood are huge inspirations for Kenner.

“Disney and Nickelodeon had a lot of musical and fun entertainment like Camp Rock, High School Musical and Victorious that I didn’t even realize influenced me,” Kenner said.” I used to play piano and the violin in middle school, [nowadays] I can do rap, hip-hop, pop and r&b.”

Although Kenner finds himself involved in many creative projects inside and outside of school, he is pretty independent in his artistic projects.

Understanding the importance of having a team, he often helps market and does creative directing for his other friends who are artists.

“I’m very selfsufficient and independent with all my creative endeavors, which isn’t to brag, but I would rather have a stronger team to help me create my work,” Kenner said. “ I do everything down from editing

my videos, creating concepts, drawing out storyboards and braiding my hair.”

Despite his independence, he refuses to let that get in the way of his pursuit of making music. Kenner has an upcoming EP called “God’s Favorite” that features other artists and friends throughout each tape.

“The way I went about creating this EP was to simply showcase my lyrical abilities to the point where it will open doors and allow me to work with more artists, producers and creators,” Kenner said. “Most people see me for my visual work first, and I just want to be able to show people my lyricism as well as my branding skills.”

Speaking more about his new music, he prides himself in having a unique sound and style. From his music to drawing, Kenner strives to better his craft every day.

“I would describe my art style as energetic, witty banter and it sounds like me ranting and talking but in my creative way,” Kenner said. “I also want to get into singing because I [had] a huge r&b, pop and gospel influence going up, so I understand melodies. I just have to learn to control my voice and shrink it.”

Kenner constantly reminds himself and others that creativity, art, and music are a journey and a learning experience, and the most crucial part is always being yourself.

“You’re not going to get everything right the first time, but the more you do something, the better you’re going to get at it,” Kenner said.

“Stay persistent and don’t judge yourself or apply yourself to other people’s standards. Just keep going.”

New York’s drill scene going mainstream with Pop Smoke represents a possible turning point for the often overlooked sub-genre.

808s and heavy bass: Trap and Drill

The origins of two genres the modern world made mainstream DESMOND LEAKE Associate Arts & Living Editor

A

tlanta and New York have always been the forerunners of hip-hop. Legends such as the duo Outkast, T.I. and Future all found their starts in Atlanta, while Biggie, Nas and Jay-Z were born and raised in New York. However, there are two subgenres of rap that these two cities are notably known for.

In Atlanta, the specific rap trend of trap, and in New York, the drill scene is rising after achieving mainstream popularity thanks to the late Pop Smoke.

However, what exactly is trap music?

The word “Trap” itself is a slang term for a place where drugs are sold. However, the genre did not take off until T.I. released his album, “Trap Muzik,” which essentially became the genre’s blueprint.

In an interview discussing the album with rapindustry.com, T.I. defined the idea of the trap.

“So you know it’s gonna be dealing with all aspects of the trap [itself],” he said. “I’m trying to deal with all aspects of that lifestyle.”

Lyrically, the trap genre does have a rather raw focus on drugs. Selling and dealing drugs is a common talking point concerning the trap, and it has lyrical similarities to the coke and gangster rap that was popular in the early stages of rap.

Stylistically, trap focuses on snares, hihat drums, grimy 808s and synthesizers as the primary form of instrumentation.

However, it was not until around the 2010s that the trap genre would break into the mainstream.

In the early 2010s, Atlanta natives, Southside and Future, spearheaded the genre to mainstream popularity.

Southside meeting up with associate Lex Luger led to the formation of 808 Mafia, which subsequently led to the popularization of 808’s in trap music.

Future started to achieve relative mainstream success, with his song “Turn on the Lights” peaking at #50 on the Billboard Hot #100.

Atlanta’s true mainstream trap success would come in late 2017 when the Migos and Lil Uzi Vert dropped “Bad and Boujee,” which hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Trap producers such as Metro Boomin would begin to work with even more prominent names in the industry.

Nowadays, the trap genre has distorted and evolved from its original inception by incorporating aspects from EDM, and trap in of itself has several genres. There’s Future, whose heavy use of autotune adds a signature flair to his drugged-out melodies.

Then in the opposite direction, there are artists like Playboi Carti, who forgoes clearer lyricism for bouncier bass-heavy highs and atmosphere on his songs like “Magnolia.”

Atlanta’s mainstream trap success is still going very strong, with new leaders of the genre such as Lil Baby and Young Thug achieving increasingly high mainstream success built off the groundwork of their predecessors.

In New York, another off-shoot of the trap genre began forming in the shape of Brooklyn drill. While Drill has its stylistic roots in Chicago thanks to Chief Keef, a grassroots drill scene has existed in Brooklyn ever since its inception.

The drill genre is more violent in its lyrical content and closer to brutal realism than horrorcore’s excessive

violence. Drill is a genre of dark, irreverent poetry that illustrates the cycle of violence in these communities.

The first big mainstream success from a New York Drill artist was “Hot N*gga”

by Bobby Shmurda, which peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 after going viral on the app Vine. However, Shmurda’s career would soon take an abrupt halt when he was arrested on December 18, 2014, and New York’s drill scene went quiet in the mainstream for years.

The mainstream success of New York’s drill scene would come at the hand of Pop Smoke, with his debut single “Welcome to the Party” thrust drill back into the ears of mainstream music.

Other artists, such as Fivio Foreign and Sheff G, also began breaking out into the limelight but have yet to achieve Pop Smoke’s success. His mixtape “Meet the Woo 2” was released to critical acclaim and peaked at number 7 on the Billboard 200.

Tragically, a home invader would kill Pop Smoke two weeks later. However, his death would boost his popularity to an absurd degree. His posthumous debut album “Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon” placed at the number one spot on the Billboard 200. Drill is slowly breaking more and more into the mainstream, with artist Fivio Foreign landing a feature on Kanye West’s “DONDA” on the song “Off the Grid” alongside Playboi Carti.

Whether Drill will hit the peak of widespread mainstream success that trap does remains to be seen. However, it’s not an unsafe assumption that artists will eventually incorporate drill into more mainstream music.

Georgia State looking for second-straight win This time, the Panthers will have to go through Auburn JULIAN HARDEN Staff Reporter

G

eorgia State’s grueling out-of-conference schedule comes to an end at Jordan-Hare Stadium against Auburn on Saturday night.

What lies ahead could spell a .500 record or a 1-3 start.

The Panthers will take their first trip to Auburn and try to pick up their second straight win, this time against a quality SEC opponent. While winning is the ultimate goal, this game will test Shawn Elliott’s ability to change the roster.

Auburn is coming off an exceptional performance at Penn State, where they lost 28-20 to the Nittany Lions and will look to rebound with a home win against the Panthers. In the Tigers’ first two games, they have outscored opponents 122-10. Even against Akron and Alabama State, that’s a scary sight for any team who doesn’t come out hot to start.

With the Panthers and Tigers just days away from their matchup, a few players for both teams could stand out.

Players to Watch

Danny Grainger, Quarterback, Georgia State

After Cornelious Brown struggled in back-to-back games against the Army Black Knights and North Carolina Tar Heels, the Panthers opted to start Grainger this past weekend against the Charlotte 49ers. The redshirt junior completed just six passes, but two of them were touchdowns.

The Furman transfer took second-half snaps in the first two games, but the 20-9 win over the 49ers may

have given Georgia State’s coaching staff a reliable second option to start, should they choose to not start Brown again this week.

Jamari Thrash, Wide Reciever, Georgia State

Thrash is the only bright spot for the Georgia State offense amid a terrible season. Through three games, the redshirt sophomore has caught 11 passes for 167 yards and touchdown (all led the team). He recorded eight catches for 87 yards against Army and on Saturday, caught two more passes for 61 yards and his first touchdown of the season.

Look for Thrash to continue being a critical part of the Georgia State offense against Auburn. While the Panthers may not score much against an improved Auburn defense, Thrash will likely be involved in critical third and fourth down conversions.

His role as a critical receiver in a struggling Panthers offense so far this season is alos something to look at if they fall behind early. Expect him to see targets often as the Panthers try to show life against a talented Auburn defense.

Bo Nix, Quarterback, Auburn

Following a disappointing 2020 season, Nix has roared back to life to begun his junior season. Entering the year, Nix faced adversity from the War Eagle faithful. While a win over the Panthers won’t quiet his critics, even an off-game against a non-conference will cause Auburn fans to doubt whether he can carry the Tigers back to Atlanta for the SEC Championship game.

The Panthers will take their first trip to Auburn and try to pick up their second straight win, this time against a quality SEC opponent.

Through three games, Nix has efficiently completed over 65% for 568 yards and five touchdowns. Coming off the Penn State loss, Nix will look to keep the same intensity against the Panthers.

Tank Gisby, Running Back, Auburn

The Tigers have a talented backfield that will flex their muscle against a poor Georgia State rushing defense. Following a tough game against the Nittany Lions, the Tigers rushing attack looks to have another productive outing.

Gisby has had a tremendous start to sophomore season as a threat both as a runner and catcher.

Through three games, he’s got 47 carries for 343 yards and four touchdowns. For context, he carried the ball 138 times for 834 yards and five touchdowns last season.

Score Prediction: 56-12, Tigers

Georgia State’s flaws on defense are still a bit evident, and an exceptional program like Auburn could take advantage of that from the game’s first drive. Look for Nix to shine early in the first half and test the Panthers’ secondary. Gisby will continue his impressive start to the season and have another big day in front of the Auburn faithful in Jordan-Hare.

For the visiting team, the Panthers may use both Brown and Grainger under center throughout the afternoon.

Fans looking to watch Saturday’s game can catch it on SEC Network at 4 p.m. EST.

Trae Young is New York’s unexpected villain Is the Hawks and Knicks’ rivalry the NBA’s next big one?

ANTWANE WILLIS Staff Reporter

S

ince the 2018 NBA Draft, Trae Young’s critics have long cited his unique playstyle and undersized frame compared to other point guards.

However, the 22-year old led the Atlanta Hawks to the playoffs in his third season and, shortly after, became New York’s newest enemy in sports.

The two foes ended the regular seasons with 41-31 records, as the Knicks and Hawks took the fourth and fifth seeds, respectively setting up for a first-round matchup that favored the latter.

“

It’s been a while since MSG had a villain like Trae, and rivalries in sports of this magnitude can really blossom to a lot of great NBA moments

”

— SAMUEL CRUZ

New York native The New York public saw Young as a villain, and he did not shy away from the role.

He averaged 29 points and nearly ten assists in five games, including a 32-point, 10-assist game one where he hit the final shot.

Each time Young touched the ball in the three games at Madison Square Garden, the crowd vocalized their not-sofond opinions of him. On the other hand, State Farm Arena made sure he knew just how much they appreciated his game. Young used the crowd’s raining boos and quieted them on the road. It almost seems as if the guy labeled as an undersized guard turned

out to be the biggest threat to such a loud city in New York.

Upstate New Yorker Nicholas Romano was thrilled with the rivalry during the playoffs.

“Trae Young, being a borderline superstar and outraging the Knicks in the 2021 playoffs, gives the NBA one of the best team rivalries to come for years,” Romano said. “With the Knicks and Hawks both being playoff locks at this point, I can speak for every NBA fan to say we want their seeding to match.

In the meantime, we get the villain from Atlanta returning to MSG on Christmas Day for an insane rematch.”

As tensions rise, Young’s presence and impact on sports stretch beyond just basketball.

Outside of the NBA, brands have taken advantage of the newfound rivalry between Young and the Knicks’ fans.

WWE recently brought out Young at their weekly ‘SmackDown’ show in Madison Square Garden on Sept. 10. The crowd greeted Young with boos, even four months after he ended the Knicks’ season.

Samuel Cruz, a Bronx, N.Y. native, remembers when Reggie Miller and the Indiana Pacers maintained a rivalry with the Knicks in the 1990s.

Now, 20 years later, Young is playing the role of Miller and the Hawks are the team on New York’s mind. However, he enjoys the way the script has been written for the foreseeable future.

“I think it’s good for the NBA, Knicks, and Hawks fans. It’s been a while since MSG had a villain like Trae, and rivalries in sports of this magnitude can really blossom to a lot of great NBA moments,” Cruz said.

“It’s like, if you have one of the best players hating your team’s guts, your team is doing something right.”

As the eastern conference becomes more competitive, superstars will continue to lead their teams to success.

The Hawks seem to be on their way, and the Knicks have a chance to compete themselves, creating a recipe that will surely give fans from both sides memories for years to come.

Leaders still confident in Conference championship hunt JASON RICHBURG Staff Reporter

T

he Georgia State volleyball team has had an up and down season so far. Last Thursday, a loss to Clemson put the team’s record at 3-7, last in their division. A few things have rattled the Panthers and could be why they’ve struggled early on this season. It’s a very “youthful” team, as sophomore Clara Bednarek described it.

13 of the players are underclassmen, including eight freshmen. Bednarek talked about her hopes for the team moving forward this season.

“I see the team as having a lot of young players, with a lot of youth coming in, and a few of them are starters,” Bednarek said. “Once it finally clicks for us, then we’ll be on our way, hopefully to a Conference Championship’’.

In some of the Panthers matches, they’ve let some of the sets get away from them. It has often seemed the team has either started their matches slow or took too long to finish off their opponent.

In matches against North Florida, Davidson and Stetson, the Panthers stayed competitive through the matches just couldn’t sets were close throughout the whole match but couldn’t come out with the victory.

“We find a lot of success at the beginning of our sets, and we start really strong, but we realized at the middle of our sets is where we tamper off and allow the other

“

Once it finally clicks for us, then we’ll be on our way, hopefully to a Conference Championship

”

— CLARA BEDNAREK Women’s Volleyball Player

team to come back,” Bednarek said.

The Panthers 3-7 record does not even tell the whole story on how much potential the team has and how they’re statistically near the top when it comes to

statistics. They are tops in kills with 468, blocks with 79.5. These achievements are due to the efforts of senior middle blocker Meisheaia Griffin, who is third in the conference in total blocks with 44 and assists with 436.

Even in losses, the team has even performed well. In their loss to Stetson, the Panthers lost by only one point and had more kills than the Hatters, 59 to 57. The team has gained positive momentum over the last couple of weeks as they head into conference play, which begins September 23rd against The University of Louisiana Monroe.

They’ve won two of their last four matches, coming against Alcorn State University and Presbyterian College. In those victories, the team put together an impressive stat line, accumulating 88 kills, 13 blocks and 79 assists.

As the team prepares for conference play, Bednarek expects good things to come to the rest of the season. “We have a lot of talent on this team, and you’ll be seeing it showcased.” said Bednarek. The team still has a long way to go, but this highly talented team has all the tools to win a conference championship come November.
