The new location not only offers students’ course materials and a wide range of Xavier merchandise, but also contains a Starbucks, an addition some students have been eagerly awaiting. “I am excited about Starbucks because there isn’t one on campus, and it’s the best coffee shop,â€?

BY JESS LARKIN Copy Editor America’s largest Oktoberfest celebration was back again this year with German food and dancing from Sept. 19 to 21. For the past 38 years, this celebration of German culture and heritage conquered the streets of downtown Cincinnati with traditional German food, music and plenty of lederhosen. Oktoberfest Zinzinnati uniquely celebrated German tradition over three days with a record-breaking attendance of more than 600,000 people. Xavier’s Student Activity Council (SAC) organized a looped shuttle that took students to the event on Sept. 20. Senior Joe McGrath was one of the students to attend. “All people come together at a hearth place of food and drink and that’s what the Germans

many more. And what is a German celebration without plenty of food? Aside from taste-testing an assortment of beers offered at the festival, patrons ate goetta brats from the Porkopolis Goetta Haus, Oktoberfest chicken from the German Grill and cream puffs and strudel from Bernhard’s Bakery. With food tents lining the streets of downtown Cincinnati, attendees had a wide selection of traditional German food. In addition to the festivities downtown, student organizations also hosted on-campus events to celebrate the event. Xavier’s German club, together with the Department of Classics and Modern Languages, the National Association for Music Educators (NAfME), the Department of Music and Theatre and the Honors Council, hosted a Bavarian folk band and

programs on Ferguson Alpha Kappa Alpha, the Black Student Association and Campus Police discuss civil unrest in Ferguson BY LYDIA ROGERS

Tensions between residents DQG SROLFH RIĂ€FHUV GHYHORSHG DW a number of memorial services, which over time developed into riots, looting, arrests and police marches. The violence in Ferguson has reopened the door for conversations about police brutality, and the conversation has now come to Xavier’s campus. On Sept. 17, the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority (AKA) and the Black Student Association (BSA) held the “We Matterâ€? program in the Multicultural, Gender and Women’s Center. The event was an open discussion among students and Xavier Police Sgt. Shawn Bryce. Students spoke freely about their experiences with Xavier Police and their thoughts about Ferguson. “The end goal was to strengthen the Xavier student body, build bridges between the students and our own police department and

to further enact positive change within the community,� BSA president Sara Bediako said. On Sept. 20, Common Ground facilitated a worship service on the Husman Stage that took a more spiritual approach to the events in Ferguson. Associate Professor Dr. Adam Clark preached at the service and presented the events in Ferguson through a theological framework. Clark referenced Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail� and related the events of the civil rights movement to the instability in Ferguson. “One thing that Dr. King talked about was that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,� Clark said. “We are all interconnected at some level so we should be concerned about our brothers and sisters and our fellow citizens.� Clark also related his sermon directly to Xavier’s Jesuit heritage. “Part of it was deepening the Jesuit identity of the school of being a person for others,� Clark said. “We wanted to express that sensibility of Cura Personalis, caring for the whole person, so I think some of issues that are raised in the situation in Ferguson are deeply aligned with our Jesuit heritage at the school.�

An estimated 310,000 people marched in a New York City climate change demonstration on Sept. 22. The event, called the People’s Climate March, was one of many held around the world to raise awareness about the negative effects of climate change. The event is the largest march regarding climate change on record. The protest was also designed to create climate change dialogue the same week that leaders from around the world will meet at the UN Climate Summit.

Roughly 85 percent of Scottish voters turned out on Sept. 18 to decide whether or not to become an independent country.

Copy Editor Scotland has voted to stay within the United Kingdom after putting its independence on the ballot. On Sept. 18, around 85 percent of the Scottish population voted on the independence referendum after more than 300 years of union with the U.K. This is the highest voter turnout on record in a British election. Nearly 55 percent of the voters said ‘no’ to seceding from the U.K. while the remainder of the participating voters voted in favor of independence. Only three of the voting districts within Scotland voted in favor of independence.

Banned Books Week Every year during the last week of September, a number of authors, readers, teachers, journalists and publishers are brought together during Banned Books Week to celebrate the freedom to read and share ideas. Banned Books Week began in 1982 when a number of schools and libraries started “challenging,” or attempting to restrict or remove, certain books. According to the American Library Association (ALA), over 11,300 books have been removed or re-

stricted from various locations across the country since Banned Books Week began. Books are often challenged to protect children from “offensive language” and “inappropriate sexual content.” Though many challenges are unsuccessful, the ALA sees them as a threat to freedom of speech. According to the ALA’s website, banning books is “the one most un-American act that could most easily defeat us.”
