XU students to recognize Deaf Awareness Week

BY ANDREW KOCH Editor-in-Chief Students can be exposed to a new way of communication as the Sign Language Club will host a number of events from April 19 to 23 to celebrate Xavier’s Deaf Awareness Week. Some of the events include sign language bingo on April 20 and a deaf festival on April 23. An American Sign Language (ASL) interpretor will also be present at the 4 and 10 p.m. masses on April 19 at Bellarmine Chapel. “We are trying to promote the fact that being Deaf is not a disability and that [people who are Deaf] have an amazing culture in our country that many don’t know about,â€? Secretary of the Sign Language Club Darcie Haskins said. More than 220 students are currently enrolled in ASL classes, making ASL the largest language program on campus. While no RIĂ€FLDO FHQVXV KDV EHHQ FRQGXFWed, linguists believe that between 250,000 and 500,000 Americans use ASL. 6WXGHQWV FDQ YLHZ Ă LHUV WKDW will be posted around campus to learn more about the week’s events.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Programs target prevention on campus

BY EMILY LINGENFELTER Staff Writer Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) is an annual campaign brought to the Xavier community through a series of events sponsored by local clubs and organizations during the month of April. A key goal of the movement is to educate students about prevention measures for sexual violence. A study by Hill & Silva (2005) reported that nearly two-thirds of college students in the United States experience harassment, and less than 10 percent of the victims tell a college or university employee. According to Kate Lawson, Xavier’s Title IX Coordinator, limiting the problem is possible through dynamic participation Š2015

New Registration Guide

BY JESS LARKIN

Copy Editor With registration for next semester at a close, many students have H[SHULHQFHG WKH VWUHVV RI VHHLQJ WKDW D UHTXLUHG FRXUVH LV DOUHDG\ Ă€OOHG However, a new waitlisting system has been implemented to ease the process for frustrated students in the future. Xavier’s new waitlist system is much more streamlined and responsive this year. Students are now able to see where they are on the waitlist and are given 24 hours to register for the class when a seat opens. Students are waitlisted when registering for a closed class. If a “registration add errorâ€? appears on the screen while adding a class, it is likely that the class is closed. If a section is closed, students can change the status of their class from “closedâ€? to “waitlisted.â€?

Here are some tips to help students with the new system: —If the deadline to register after receiving the email passes and you are still interested in registering for the class, you may apply to the waitlist again. —The waitlist will close after the seventh day of the spring and fall semesters. Refer to the summer calendar to see the waitlist deadlines. —Be mindful of other classes that are available when on the waitlist for a course. Do not rely on registering for that one course. Luckily, you can still register for classes in the same time slot while on the waitlist because WKDW ZDLWOLVWHG FRXUVH LV QRW RIÀcially registered.

—You may not register for the waitlist for two different sections of the same course. —You can view your position on the waitlist by accessing your “detailed class schedule� in the Student Hub. The information will be noted under “waitlist position.� —Not all courses will allow waitlists. It is up to the department to determine which classes will allow a waitlist. —You cannot be added to a waitlist if there is a hold on your account.

Network. Wearing his full Musketeer uniform, Stainbrook discussed pies and schooled the show’s hosts in an improvised basketball game. The center also discussed his professional prospects, claiming that he does not think he would be drafted but that he could still make the NBA. “If I said that I didn’t think I’d have a shot at the end of this month, I’d be a liar,� Stainbrook said. “I believe in myself and think I’m a good player.� Mack gets another year — After leading Xavier to its third appearance in the Sweet Sixteen in his six years as head coach, Chris Mack’s contract has been extended a year through the end of the 2020-21 season. This happened less than a year after he received a two-year extension from the university last May that made him the highest paid coach in Xavier history. While it is unclear if the latest

extension includes a pay raise, his salary of over $1.1 million made him the 39th highest-paid coach in the 68-team NCAA Tournament. Steele still waiting — Xavier assistant coach Travis Steele still does not have a head coaching job, despite interviewing for the QRZ ÀOOHG 1RUWKHUQ .HQWXFN\ University job last week. Steele, 31, has been at Xavier for seven years and is responsible for bringing in Indiana recruits such as Trevon Blueitt and Dee Davis for the Musketeers.

Randolph to transfer — After appearing in just 24 games last year for the Muskies, sophomore guard Brandon Randolph will transfer. The former four-star recruit from Inglewood, Cal., was never able to develop into the player that fans and coaches alike hoped he would become. In his second season with Xavier, Randolph averaged only 2.1 points per game and fewer than ten minutes per game.

Staff Writer Just because its season is over does not mean that there are not any updates on the Xavier basketball team. Here are just a few as we begin the countdown to Musketeer Madness: Big Man’s Big Weekend — After Xavier’s ßber-talented and Uber-driving senior center broke into the national conscious with his outstanding game in the Sweet Sixteen against Arizona, Matt Stainbrook got to spend another weekend in the spotlight. Stainbrook was invited to play in April 3’s Reese’s College All-Star Game for graduating seniors at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

In the midst of gloomy April weather, we remember the madness that dominated our lives for the past month. From 3-14 upsets to buzzerbeaters and broken brackets to bragging in the face of your friend, not to mention the infamous “I’m taking notes on my laptop today, I swear,â€? when everyone in the room really knows you have at least two games streaming side by side. March truly is a different time of year. For the men’s bracket, early tournament predictions were thought to be all but realized. There would be a slew of 5-12 upsets, a team was going to make DQ XQH[SHFWHG UXQ DQG .HQWXFN\ ZDV JRLQJ WR Ă€QLVK However, none of the former predictions came to fruition. One may even say that this year was predictably unpredictable. The Sweet 16 consisted completely of teams that had made that stage of the tournament at OHDVW RQFH ZLWKLQ WKH SDVW Ă€YH years, and each coach in the Final Four already had a national championship to his name entering Easter weekend. While this year did not offer the traditional 5-12 upsets that bracket enthusiasts have become so accustomed to, 14-seed Georgia State knocked off 3-seed Baylor in the West region while fellow 14-seed University of AlabamaBirmingham toppled Iowa State in the South bracket. To summarize the 2015 NCAA men’s college basketball tournament: never count out Michigan State as long as Tom Izzo is the coach. No matter how many

Another live musical is in the works at NBC: on March 30, the network announced plans for “The Wiz� to be its next live musical performance program. “The Wiz� will be NBC’s third live musical, following “The Sound of Music� featuring Carrie Underwood in 2013 and “Peter Pan� with Allison Williams in 2014. This decision followed NBC’s announcement in January at the Television Critics Association panel. The network was choosing between either “The Wiz,� “A Few Good Men� or “The Music Man� for its next live musical event. The live performance will be produced in conjunction with Cirque du Soleil, which will also bring the show back to Broadway for a revival in the 2016-17 season. “The Wiz,� based on the classic tale of Dorothy and her adventures with the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion in “The Wizard of Oz,� features an African-American context and cast.

Xavier Newswire: Who are the members of your band? How did you all start? Ryan O’Toole: Basically it started with us saying: who wants to be in a band? It was like hey, I wrote an album. Now I need to pick people who can help me make that album. I picked a band with friends that I’ve known for a long time, that I went to high school with. Danny is a majestic creature. He is my partner-in-crime and helps me write a lot of the music. There was a group of people I had just on vocals. We are all from the Chicago area. XN: So, you explained a little of how it all started: writing, composing and then saying let’s try and get a band together. RO: A lot of the music I wrote my junior and senior years of high school. Then senior \HDU JRLQJ LQWR VXPPHU EHIRUH P\ Ă€UVW VHPHVter of college, I had a lot of the songs written but I didn’t have very good equipment. So the quality of what I recorded was very much lesser than expected. 7KHQ DERXW KDOIZD\ WKURXJK Ă€UVW VHPHVWHU here, I thought, “I have some really good muVLF , ZDQW WR Ă€QG D ZD\ WR GR WKLV ZLWK D UHDOO\ good quality to show to a lot of people.â€? That’s sort of how the idea started. So I spent second semester of last year rewriting, reworking, so starting in the summer we could get to teaching people the music and recording. I also reached out to everyone around that time. I talked to Danny and sent out an email that said, “You’ve been selected for this experiment, kind-of project.â€? We called it band camp. We had a Facebook group and everything. ;1 :KDW PXVLF GR \RX Ă€QG WKDW WKH EDQG XVXDOO\ SURGXFHV" 'R \RX QRW WU\ WR OLPLW \RXUVHOI WR D VSHFLĂ€F type of music? RO: , GHĂ€QLWHO\ GRQ¡W WU\ WR 7KHUH DUH W\SHV that I will write more towards. I’m not going to try to make a reggae or rap album because that’s not where my talents lie. For this album, it was very centered on folk elements and acoustic sounds. Our violinist has DQ H[FHOOHQW VRXQG D ORW OLNH D Ă€GGOH $OVR ZH have a lot more rock moments on the album and also vocal music is a huge thing. I was in choir with a lot of them in high school. Being in choir, I came to enjoy the beauty of choral music. I thought, “How can I put that into a more contemporary kind of feel?â€? A lot of the songs sound like what I would sing in choir. One of our Scottish songs is a direct inspiration from one of the a capella songs that we VXQJ 7KHUH DUH GHĂ€QLWHO\ WKLQJV IURP P\ FKRLU or “sophisticatedâ€? music that I brought into my music. In June, it should be all done and ready to

go. The vocal harmonies are turned-up very nicely. The album creates this sense of continuation. I was very inspired by “Spring Awakening.â€? I remember listening to the soundtrack and loving the use of strings, and WKDW¡V ZKDW LQVSLUHG PH WR UHDFK RXW DQG Ă€QG a violinist. I like how these musicals use many vocalists to create many sounds. I don’t want to be the only one singing on every song. XN: In your love of music and exploration of music – who inspired you to sing? Who inspired you to write? And, who inspired you to perform? RO: Singing came from my mom. She’s one of the most beautiful singers I’ve ever heard. It wasn’t until sophomore year that I tried to use my voice for something. She was the one who got me to sing. I’ve loved performing for a long time. I remember in third grade they would always have skits that they would perform. I was always very comfortable being onstage. Around the same time, I started singing when I started performing. People saw that I had Ă€UH DQG SDVVLRQ , ZDV DOZD\V H[SRVHG WR UHally good music as a kid. My dad used to play Johnny Cash and Elvis. I’d always been a good writer, and there have been people since I’ve started writing that have pushed me. My (favorite) old artist is not a very “hipster-yâ€? pick, but it’s the Beatles. I really got into their crazy albums and they’ve inspired me. A new writer that really inspires me is Frank Ocean. He says stuff that is so personal. He speaks of universal things in words that really speak to me. It’s contemporary language mixed with very abstract thoughts and colors. XN: When people purchase music they expect certain things from certain artists. What do you hope people get from Hydrangea Benison’s music? RO: I expect for some people to not like my music because they might not give it the full time of day. I hope I don’t sound pretentious. I open the album with something that will immediately grab people. I really don’t write verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge then chorus. , Ă€QG WKDW D ORW RI SHRSOH nowadays don’t give their full atWHQWLRQ WR PXVLF $IWHU WKH Ă€UVW seconds, they decide if it’s good or not and then move on. The album is truly a full body of work. The songs are arranged in a way that they connect between every song.
