MILLER’S MOMENT Richie Mulhall Columnist
It all happened so fast. Almost as fast as an Ian Miller takedown. It was the 157-pound quarterfinal match that pitted Kent State wrestler Ian Miller against Cornell wrestler Brian Realbuto at the 2015 NCAA Championships in St. Louis, Missouri. Ian was the No. 7 seed and Realbuto was the No. 2 seed. The stage was set for a great match. Brian Smith / The Kent Stater Ian Miller was considered second in the nation his freshman year and made headlines with a 22-3 record in his first season at Kent State.
The whistle blew and the two bulls locked up. Ian took Realbuto down four times and gained a significant riding time advantage to build a 9-4 lead. With the match well in control, Ian imposed his will. Only 50 seconds remained in the period. All Ian had to do was maintain. S u d d e n l y, I a n ’ s u n c l e Z e b watched Ian’s big lead disappear as Ian melted down; Realbuto stunned him with two takedowns in a row in the waning minutes of regulation. “It was almost like watching someone who can’t swim,” Zeb said.
The match clock was winding down as Ian treaded water, just trying to survive. Ian expended almost every ounce of energy throughout the first six minutes of the match. The last minute belonged to Realbuto. Ian let a five-point advantage slip away, as Realbuto rallied to a 9-9 tie to force the match into overtime. Just 16 seconds into the extra session, Realbuto scored a takedown for the 11-9 win. There was only one problem. At the end of regulation, Realbuto struck for a pair of quick takedowns with an escape by Ian in between.
The officials missed Ian’s escape point, which should have resulted in a 10-9 win for Ian. Kent State head coach Jim Andrassy and assistant coaches Matt Hill and Josh Moore were adamant that the score was wrong, so they approached the officials’ table to request that they check the score, but the officials denied the request and told the coaches to return to their bench. After regulation, Ian was completely spent. He felt gassed going into the overtime period, and it only took Realbuto about 12 sec-
onds to take down Ian in overtime to seal his victory. The scoring error cost him the match and a shot at a national title. The NCAA Division I wrestling committee, led by committee chairman Matthew Whisenant met to review the footage of the match and come to a conclusion. It took the Kent State coaching staff an hour and a half to hear the ruling derived from the committee’s deliberations. The committee admitted the score was wrong, but the result was left unchanged. The NCAA issued the following statement:
“The NCAA Division I Wrestling Committee met to discuss the scoring error in the match between Brian Realbuto and Ian Miller, and our determination was that there is a protocol in place for coaches to challenge errors in a match via the coaches challenge (Rule 3.21.2 b). Kent State had challenges remaining and did not raise the challenge flag to declare an error in the match, therefore the resulting Cornell victory stands.”

Baseball drops home opener to Pitt City police arrest 41 during ‘Fake Patty’s Day’ Zach Harley Sports Reporter
Benjamin VanHoose Entertainment Reporter For Kent State students, red Solo cups, dance playlists and green attire signified the beginning of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations five days before the actual holiday. Unfortunately, the luck of the Irish didn’t apply to everyone because the police made 41 total arrests. Lt. Michael Lewis said more than 160 calls for service were made concerning issues such as assault, loud parties, fights, trespassing and fireworks. 12 calls were made for fire/EMS matters as well. “Kent Police officers worked very long hours on Saturday and did an excellent job handling the crowds,” Lewis said. Arrests made included 33 for underage consumption or possession of alcohol, six instances of fake IDs, five open container violations and a bevy of other charges ranging from littering to possession of drugs. Though an increase of officers on duty was in place Saturday to monitor disturbances, Lewis said the police were still unable to catch everything. “There could easily have had more (arrests),” Lewis said. “We issued a number of warnings because we couldn’t address every violation.” Of the 41 arrested, nine were Kent State students and one was a juvenile. Lewis said the biggest parties were at
fraternities and annex houses along East Main Street and University Drive, houses on Lincoln Street and The Province, an apartment complex. This year, police officers visited several fraternities before guests even arrived and kegs were drained in attempts to nip any potentially rowdy situations in the bud. Typically on the Saturday prior to the holiday, students jump at the chance to do their partying on the weekend without worrying about nursing a hangover during class the next morning. “(Officers) spoke with fraternity houses Saturday morning to give precautions and encourage them to be responsible,” Lewis said. St. Patrick’s Day has become another alcohol-centric calendar day that falls during the academic year, giving students the excuse to swarm local bars and house parties in masses. Lewis said the crowds and foot-traffic that occurred on Fake Patty’s Day rivaled the scope of Kent’s infamous Halloween celebration. Although Lewis believes there will be less parties on Thursday for actual St. Patty’s Day because of classes the next morning and spring break just around the corner, he said the police will not be underestimating the possibility of excessive partying.

It was an electric atmosphere at Schoonover Stadium on Wednesday evening as Kent State (10-4) took on the Pittsburgh Panthers (8-6) in Kent State’s home opener. The Flashes came in riding a 10-game win streak hoping to make it 11 behind the arm of freshman lefty Connor Wollersheim, but the electricity slowly left the stands as Wollersheim struggled through his 2.1 innings allowing three earned runs including a solo shot off the bat of Panther center fielder Aaron Schnurbusch.
Kent State would answer the Panthers’ three-run third with a three-run inning of their own in the fourth, thanks to back-to-back home runs from third baseman Dylan Rosa and designated hitter Conner Simonetti. Pittsburgh’s starting pitcher Sam Mersing bounced back after the fourth, throwing a scoreless fifth which would eventually end his night with a line of five innings, allowing eight hits while surrendering four runs. The name of the game for the Flashes was pitching changes as the Flashes made six pitching changes

throughout the contest sending seven pitchers to the bump, three of which being freshmen. Kent State had a tough time on the mound seeing only two pitchers, Wollersheim and Joey Murray, seeing two-plus innings. “We were behind hitters all night” says manager Jeff Duncan. “It’s really hard to win when you do things like that. Duncan, referred to the control issues that plagued the Flashes tonight walking 12 Panthers while additionally hitting two more. Not to discount the performance of the Pittsburgh line-up who outhit the Flashes 10-8 sending 45 batters to the plate opposed to Kent State’s 35. “One of our goals this year is to play well mid-week” says Duncan who managed the Flashes through their first of 10 mid-week games throughout the season. The mid-week games will be interesting going forward as Duncan acknowledged that they don’t know who their mid-week starter is going to be. Wollersheim was their first mid-week starter of the season, but notably struggled, leaving in the second inning. The Flashes will look to bounce back on Friday as they start a four-game stretch against Liberty University (12-6) in Lynchburg, Virginia. zharley@kent.edu

Miller’s Moment... NCAA knew the officials got the score wrong, acknowledged that it was wrong, but did nothing to overturn says call. The ruling on the mat stood and Ian Miller was robbed of the victory. Tweets poured in over social media and flooded Ian’s phone to offer overwhelming support. The hashtag “#freeMiller” trended on Twitter as people voiced what everyone was thinking. The consensus was unanimous: Miller should have won. As Ian walked through the corridors of the St. Louis Convention Center, the strong, pungent aroma of garlic bread seeped into his nostrils, causing him to projectile vomit as he was heading through the tunnel on his way back to the locker room. Coach Hill followed Ian to the locker room, cleaning up the puke on Ian’s arm and shoe. The bad taste of loss, coupled with the scoring debacle, ultimately left Ian feeling defeated. After a while, Ian grew quiet. Calm and collected, Ian handled the emotionally charged situation with a sense of grace other wrestlers might not have maintained if thrust into the same situation. “Ian stayed on a really even playing field,” Matt says. Ian’s mother, Stacy, caught up with her son afterward and offered her support. It was Stacy that really snapped him out of it. “She told me, basically, you can quit and just not be an AllAmerican this year or you can just grit your teeth, go out there and become an All-American again for the second time,” Miller said. “You’re going to have this kind of stuff happen to you for the rest of your life,” Stacy says. “This is where you decide whether you lay down and let them win or you just keep going.” Unfortunately, Ian has become too used to this kind of stuff.
Following his family’s footsteps
Growing up with a family history rooted in collegiate wrestling, Ian learned to be tough and wrestle through controversy—whether it be pain, personal setbacks or bad officiating. He had to find a way to gut it out and persevere for the sake of the overall goal. In Ian’s case, that goal was to become an All-American again—an accolade he would have failed to reach had he chosen to quit after the NCAA quarterfinal match. His gruff and tough upbringing mentally prepared him to not sweat the small stuff and to flourish

in the face of adversity. Ian started wrestling competitively when he was in first grade. He started traveling around the country to wrestle in fifth and sixth grade, and his career took off in junior high when he won the Ohio Junior High State Wrestling Championship his eighth-grade year. Growing up a Miller exposed him to wrestling at an early age. His grandfather wrestled, his father wrestled and all three of his uncles wrestled. Wrestling runs deep in the Miller family bloodline and, given his father’s wrestling background, Ian would be no different. His father Ferd was a two-time state champion at Oak Harbor High School in 1986 and ’87. His two uncles, Chad and Tait, were also state champs from Oak Harbor in 1989 and 1995, respectively. Zeb qualified for the state tournament in 1998 at 171 pounds and placed fifth. With all this wrestling knowledge at his disposal, Ian learned the family trade rather quickly. Wrestling was in Ian’s blood, and toughness runs in the family when it comes to the Millers. “Growing up, you had to be tough to be a Miller,” Ian said. Ferd—the surly bear with the grizzly beard—is the reason Ian is the way he is. A tough kid who never felt sorry for himself. “Ever since I was little I was always taught that if something doesn’t go your way, you can’t just sit there and sulk,”
Ian says. “My dad’s saying is 'you gotta grit your teeth and get through it.'” Wrestling is the one common denominator that binds the Miller family lineage together. “They’re crazy in their own right,” Hill says of the Millers. “They have some outlandish ways.” Outlandish but effective, nonetheless. And to think, if Ian’s uncle Tait hadn’t stopped by the house one day to wail on him, he might not have had the killer instinct to be the dominant wrestler he is today.
Miller’s time
When Ian first arrived at Kent State five years ago, Jim had to tweak Ian’s style a bit to ensure he didn’t get injured. Ian’s dynamic moveset and throwing style put him in a lot of precarious positions when he was younger, and they still sometimes have the same effect. “It wasn’t as much teaching as it was putting Ian into the best position to win,” Andrassy said. Ian wasn’t good at managing his weight, staying disciplined and developing mental toughness, but after he redshirted and matured over time, he acquired all the tools he needed to win. When it comes to working with Ian, Hill focuses more on strategy than technique. It’s all about planning before a match for the end of a match. “He’s got to get uncomfortable and

Molly Merryman, associate professor and director of the LGBTQ program, has worked alongside the Office of Global Education to provide 12-14 students with the opportunity to study abroad in Greece this spring break. The study abroad program was created this past August and has been expanded by Merryman along with Lauren Vachon, an assistant professor in the LGBTQ program, over the last couple of months. The group of students will travel to Greece where they will study gender roles in ancient and Modern Greek culture. “There are two classes (that) students can take on this trip. A one credit hour class (that is a) travel class and it’s called Democracy and Desire Gender and Sexuality in Greece, and those students just go on the spring break trip,” Vachon said. Applied Outreach and Global Understandings in Gender and Sexuality is the second class taught. It is a three-credit-hour, full-semester class that Merryman teaches. It takes a look at gender and sexuality in terms of travel. It will also cover ethical issues and how to travel respectfully to other countries. Even though the program is in its first year, Vachon, Merryman and Nick Vasiloff from the Office of Global Education are committed to furthering this trip to make it available to other students. “We definitely want to do it every spring break and we have also thought of expanding it a little and doing a summer travel program,” Vachon said. Vachon hopes that the program can develop and grow from the successes of the first year. “I think every year we would hope we can improve it and this is the first year and the first year is very experimental,” Vachon said.
win that last period,” Hill said. Andrassy says Ian has the potential to become an All-American again and even run the table at the tournament, but only if he does things the right way. In his sophomore season at the NCAA tournament, he warmed up too early, wasn’t in the best shape and ran out of gas in his semifinal bout. Last year he had some anxiety and dropped seven points to Realbuto in the last 45 seconds of the match. “To be the best at 149, 157, 165, you have to be the best for three days in a row,” Andrassy said. “You can’t have a bad moment. Ian had a bad 20 seconds. He’s got to figure out a way to win these [close] matches.” Those three weight classes mentioned above are consistently the top three weight classes every year in terms of depth and competition and this year is no exception. Ian hasn’t been tested by any elite competition yet this season but once the NCAA Tournament rolls around, he will face some good names out there: Penn State’s Jason Nolf and Illinois’ Isaiah Martinez, currently ranked No. 1 and 2 respectively in the nation right now, according to InterMat. “Those are the most athletic, dynamic wrestlers,” Andrassy said of Ian’s weight class.

Irene Altieri, an LGBTQ Student Center intern, said this trip will also give her a chance to meet with family who live in Greece. “I saw this program during welcome weekend for the LGBTQ center and I saw that it was for Greece. I got really excited because my family is from Greece and I’m actually going to get a chance to meet my family while I’m there,” Altieri said. Some students who aren’t in the LGBTQ program, said they are going on the trip just to get the experience and learn about gender and sexuality in a different country. For example, Jessica Kotik, a sophomore psychology student, said gender and sexuality is a large part of her field of studies and is looking forward to using what she learns abroad for her career in the future. “I want to be a school psychologist and I will (be) working with kids who (might) struggle with their gender or identifying one,” Kotik said. “I thought this would be a good learning opportunity and I feel like I can really take back something I can use for a future career.” While on the trip, Vachon will be collecting data to see how travel abroad experiences can improve learning outcomes for students in the classroom. “We are going to be doing a little (bit) of research as, well (as) hoping to be able to prove (that) a travel abroad experience for students broadens their perspectives, gives them more critical thinking skills, and changes their attitudes,” Vachon said. The LGBTQ program is looking to further this opportunity to more students to different locations teaching different classes. “The Center definitely wants to have travel as a component of (where) we are going,” Vachon said. “To do so, there will be trips to other countries with other topics like an LGBTQ-related travel. We would like to do (topics on) women, maybe sex workers. A lot of different topics are potentially on the table for future trips,” Vachon said.
“I won’t say (students) got it out of their system,” Lewis said. “There will still probably be some parties later on in the day, but nowhere near what we saw Saturday.” While most who go out for these drinking holidays write it off as an occasional occurrence, statistics show that college-aged alcohol consumption is reaching increased heights. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, about four out of five college students drink alcohol, and half of them consume it through bingedrinking. The NIAAA also estimates 1,825 college students, ages 18 to 24, die each year due to “alcohol-related unintentional injuries.” Scott Dotterer is a coordinator for the Office of Health Promotion, a department of University Health Services located in the DeWeese Health Center on campus. “There are many factors that influence alcohol consumption,” Dotterer said. “There may be a number of students who mistakenly believe that heavy drinking is the norm and buy into this behavior.” On Thursday, April 7, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Student Center, the Office of Health Promotion will co-sponsor National Alcohol Screening Day for the 16th year. Free and open to students, faculty and community members, participants will fill out anonymous questionnaires about their alcohol use, and get the opportunity to consult with a Kent State mental health professional about local support and treatment services. “Those who drink should be aware of the signs and symptoms of chemical dependency and be cognizant of issues and concerns around developing tolerance,” Dotterer said. While Dotterer feels the best way to steer clear of alcohol-related issues in college is to avoid parties altogether, he recognizes that many students will find themselves at one at some point in their schooling career. “If they do attend, they should have an exit plan and the ability to be assertive when it comes to refusing a drink,” Dotterer said. “It’s always okay to refuse a drink, but it’s never okay to pressure someone else to drink.”

Graduate research project receives grant from National Science Foundation Andrew Keiper Graduate Studies Reporter Heather Caldwell, an associate professor and graduate coordinator, who has lead the “Origins of Aggression” research project at Kent State with a team of students, earned a $400,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant that funds the pioneering work about the effects of oxytocin in the the development of aggressive social behaviors. “Dr. Caldwell has been able to obtain significant funding to support the research,” said Paul DiCorleto, Vice President of Research and Sponsored Programs at Kent State. “She’s been published in some excellent journals.” Caldwell, who became a part of Kent’s faculty in 2007, said funding is almost always the biggest challenge she faces in the work. “It can take years to generate the preliminary data needed to compete for federal funding,” Caldwell said. “I was very close to stopping this line of inquiry. Luckily, the Department of Biological Sciences provided me with some seed money
to generate the data we needed.” Travis Miller, a biomedical neuroscience Ph.D candidate and an integral member of Caldwell’s team, first presented preliminary research at last year’s Society of Neurological Surgeons conference. Caldwell said she plans on presenting some of the Origins of Aggression research at the College of Arts & Sciences Annual Neuroscience Symposium on April 6th and 7th this year. Along with Miller, Elizabeth Aulino, a research technician on the project and Kent State graduate student applicant, cite the collaborative environment Caldwell has created within her team as a reason for its success. Miller is the lead researcher and is funded through the projects NSF grant, according to Caldwell. He conducts the surgeries on the brains of pregnant female mice to influence the intake of oxytocin in utero. which is the project’s primary process for determining the effect of oxytocin on social behaviors.
The surgical processes are completely sterile and approved by a board for ethical considerations, Caldwell said. Caldwell and others recently published their first academic paper titled, “Sex differences in the embryonic development of the central oxytocin system in mice.” The article was published in the Journal of Neuroendocrinology. She added that this publication is the biggest accomplishment of the work to date. According to the article there is evidence that oxytocin may be important for the organizing of neural circuitry that underlies adult social behavior during fetal development. Caldwell said this research will inform part of the “constellation of different factors interacting in a variety of ways” that influence social behavior in mammals. “I am hopeful that this is the start of a whole new line of research in my lab,” Caldwell said. “I want us to generate some really great data, get it published, and keep getting funded.” akeiper@kent.edu

Assessing the consequences of the American empire Andrew Ohl Guest Columnist Today marks the fiveyear anniversary of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1973, which gave the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) the authority to protect civilians under threat by the regime of then-Libyan leader Muammar Ghaddafi. NATO and its most instrumental member in the United States then proceeded to abuse this authority by expanding the role of intervention in Libya from humanitarian protection to the carrying out of 26,500 airstrike stories from March to October 2011, in active support of the rebel opposition to the Ghaddafi regime. This violent intervention into a sovereign state, coupled with NATO’s and the United States’ lack of a viable peacebuilding operation afterwards, created a vacuum of power in Libya. Five years later, Libya is an anarchic state with insurgent groups such as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) finding an increasingly safe haven in the country. The Libyan intervention is constructive to the extent that it demonstrates the consequences that come with imperial-
ism. The United States will pay all of the lip service in the world to the values of democracy, peace and rule of law in other countries. Paradoxically, the United States government’s obsession with finding a secure world to achieve these ideals has expanded insecurity to people around the world. The U.S. claims to support peace and democracy, but it aims for these goals through the crosshairs of the laser-guided JDAM missiles that have fallen on the people of Libya. These bombs have also fallen on the people of Iraq and Syria in the fight against ISIS. The net result of these military operations have been the exacerbation of political power vacuums in Iraq and Syria, such as the one the U.S. and NATO is directly responsible for in Libya. As for Iraq, the U.S. owns direct responsibility for the power vacuum there, too, thanks to the 2003-2011 occupation of Iraq. These campaigns have destroyed, repressed, and radicalized many individuals in Libya, Iraq and Syria. All three are now safe havens to ISIS. This has only served to increase the threat of retribution against innocent lives elsewhere. It does not mitigate the threat. As of March 14, 2016, as many as 3,000 civilian non-combatants have been killed in airstrikes led by the U.S.’s anti-ISIS
coalition which began in 2014. This goes without mentioning the countless others that have surely been maimed, the millions of people who have been displaced in Iraq and Syria and the unthinkable psychological trauma that comes with living in (or fleeing from) a country that has been disintegrated by war. Though the acts of mass violence and persecution by ISIS are basic affronts to human life, the massive collateral damage and shortsightedness of U.S. airstrikes blurs the line between morality and wrongdoing for all actors involved. Military action yields a net negative result to the welfare of humanity for as long as the collateral destruction of infrastructure, resources and innocent lives outweighs the warranted termination of malevolent persons. The United States government and its citizens must fundamentally commit to living by the ideals of peace, stability and democracy in the world as everyday codes of conduct and not just as abstract end-goals which can forever serve as justification to commit harmful acts in the name of those very goals. If the Promised Land resides indefinitely in the future, when does the violence seemingly necessary to reach it ever stop being justified?
student that such trips generally cost, the village could accomplish a lot more on its own. Yes, of course colleges should downgrade meaningless resume-polishing that clearly can be done only by the affluent. Richard Weissbourd, lead author of the Harvard report, said he knows of wealthy parents who shelled out money to start a nonprofit school in Botswana just so that their daughter could claim on her college application that she had created it. But it’s another matter for colleges to attempt social engineering through the admissions process. Do we really want admissions officers making glib moral judgments about which types of community service are inherently more worthy than others? Or decreeing that a student who tries several different kinds of volunteer work _ or spends extra hours on chemistry experiments or writes short stories instead of feeding the hungry or craves the challenge of multiple Advanced Placement exams _ is less deserving of a college education than one who works for several years on a local cause? If colleges adopt the recommendations, and there are signs that at least some plan to, that won’t mean that ambitious students no longer turn in professionally polished applications. More likely they’ll force themselves into another mold that will be no more meaningful to them, no more reflective of their true interests, than a slew of AP courses or a long list of extracurricular activities. And though it’s a fair-minded idea to give applicants credit for helping their families, colleges considering this should prepare to be inundated by essays about students who wake up at 4:30 each morning to clean the toilets so that their ailing or hard-working parents won’t have to. Among other things, these kinds of stories can’t be verified. The goal of giving high-achieving, low-income students a better shot at being accepted by colleges is of course worth pursuing, but the recommendations on this score also fall short. Rather than reducing the emphasis on SAT scores, which are a fairly good indicator of freshman success in college, colleges should limit the number of times
students can sit for the tests to no more than twice. That would eliminate the advantage gained by wealthier kids paying to take the test multiple times with only the best scores on each section being reported to colleges. It might also reduce the role of expensive test-prep tutors, who often work for years with students as they take the test over and over. Serious test prep these days can cost between $4,000 and $20,000. And rather than discouraging students from taking advanced placement courses, colleges should take into account _ as many already do _ the fact that some schools don’t offer a broad range of such courses. If colleges really want more authentic applications from students and less stress and burnout in high school, they should stop insisting on “well-rounded” candidates who do everything perfectly. Instead, they should credit students for whatever it is they do that truly reflects themselves and that might make them successful when they get to college. That might be writing short stories late into the night or holding down a regular parttime job or getting involved in a meaningful extracurricular activity. Colleges could de-emphasize essays, which can be polished by expensive private college counselors, and give added weight to letters of recommendations, which tell more about the day-to-day mettle of an applicant. And if colleges really want to make admissions fairer, they could start with two steps that aren’t even mentioned in this report: Reduce the admissions preference for athletes. A January report by the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation found that at the most selective colleges, athletic preference disproportionately gave an advantage to affluent, white students. That’s because many of the sports _ crew, lacrosse, fencing, water polo and the like _ aren’t offered at most public high schools, and require joining private leagues and clubs for training. Eliminate the admissions boost for legacy applicants _ the offspring or siblings of alumni. Such preferences have nothing to do with an applicant’s quality, and everything to do with a family’s history of access to the college.
Who gets into college?
Editorial Board The Los Angeles Times If a biotech researcher developed a drug that could reverse the effects of Alzheimer’s disease, few people would care if he or she was motivated by a love of mankind, a love of science or the desire to make a fortune. Why should they? All sorts of people do good and bad in the world for all sorts of reasons. That thought comes to mind because of a new report from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, which offers some troubling recommendations for how colleges and universities should rethink admissions. The report, titled “Turning the Tide,” rightly calls for leveling the playing field so that wealthy applicants don’t have so much of an advantage over lower-income students. That’s definitely a worthwhile objective. But the report’s main goal is stated in its subtitle: “Inspiring Concern for Others and the Common Good through College Admissions.” More than 70 deans of admissions and other college leaders have endorsed it. According to the report, students show too much concern about their own futures and not enough about serving the community. But even if that’s true, is it the job of college admissions departments to right that wrong? The report recommends tweaking admissions to favor applicants who have shown a serious, years-long commitment to a local cause over those who have dabbled in various kinds of community service at home or abroad. It also calls for reducing the importance of advanced high-school classes and SAT scores, and giving more credit to applicants who hold part-time jobs and who help out at home. On the surface, those changes sound appealing. Certainly, for too long students have gotten points in college admissions for displaying “leadership” and “global awareness” by going on expensive overseas trips that combine socializing and adventure tours with a volunteer project, such as helping to build a playground at an African village school.

This past Tuesday was the day Ohioans submitted their votes for the primary election. After I covered the polls for the Kent Stater’s photo team, I headed to class and, as expected, my fellow students were talking about voting. Only, the conversation I witnessed was disappointing. One girl asked her friends if they planned on voting and every one of them said no. One student said he just never got around to registering. That’s when the girl got upset. She proved to be very passionate about voting, which I respect. Then another student said one vote wouldn’t really matter so that’s why she didn’t even bother. I was speaking with another student about this and he said that we are the most educated, yet most inactive generation. He’s absolutely right. We have a plethora of tools and knowledge at our fingertips, yet so many millennials are doing nothing to affect our nation’s politics. I used to not care about voting, too. Then I realized I need to take part in how my country changes because, the older I get, the more politics will affect me. I educated
myself so that I’m neither politically ignorant nor inactive anymore. This enlightenment of sorts has been so empowering. It saddens me that more people my age don’t feel this way. Sure, I think a lot of politicians make empty promises and the candidates this year are historically comical, but that doesn’t mean I should sit by and do nothing as these politicians shape my future. Though I hate all the drama associated with politics, I believe every vote matters. Each voter has the opportunity to make a difference. So why are so many millennials standing to the side, complaining about Trump’s racism, Hilary’s corruption and Bernie’s socialism when they should be fighting it the only way they can? You can’t fight ballots with complaints—so if you don’t like a candidate, vote against them. Your vote can make all the difference because it’s very possible that this election could come down to a handful of votes. As Americans, we have the right to choose who leads us. That’s a power all of us should act on. You don’t need to be a political science major to do so. skaram3@kent.edu
Witnessing a legend Dylan Webb Columnist Here I was, waiting in a formidable, 2,000-person line to see the living legend himself, Bernie Sanders at Legacy Democratic Dinner in Columbus. I had come down with OSA (Ohio Student Association) outside the event to protest political corruption, and the fact that corporate super PACs can buy out enough candidates to have a death grip on American politics. With blessed fortune, I was able to make it right on time to see Bernie as he was speaking. I was wearing the rainbow shirt I got at the further concert surrounded by people dressed in brand-name suits and dresses. As I made my way through the crowd with fate pushing me forward passing me through thousands of people, I finally got to security. I was quickly questioned on a bag of stones I carry around containing a white rock from my childhood home, one from Jerusalem and a stone with an angel inside, clearly objects that have a physical reminder of my faith. Quickly, a sevenfoot Secret Service agent in a bulletproof vest said that these pebbles could be used to hurt someone. I was stunned; it wasn’t a forgotten pocket knife or stun gun I was stopped for, but tiny pebbles. Unless I had the superhuman ability to throw a little stone over one thousand feet with flawless aim, no one could be hurt with my dime-sized rocks. How paranoid were these people that were wasting time with imaginary threats as they kept the thousands of people behind me from seeing their political heroes? I wasn’t going to debate with the Secret Service no matter how ludicrous their policies were, some laws aren’t written with logic in mind. I found my team as soon as I came out of the convention center, throwing any “questionable“ objects in the car and explained the situation. The group thankfully agreed to wait for me to see Bernie, everything fitting together like clockwork in guided synchronicity. Another round waiting in the line was not as smooth
as before: We were frozen in line for hours, standing in the claustrophobic crowd of heat. Then a Hillary Clinton supporter chatted with me and said, “When the system’s this much of a mess, we all lose.” We nodded in resigned agreement knowing the speakers were passing through on the stage while we were standing, getting frustrated in the line. Many of us were volunteers, students, dedicated activists and felt as if we wouldn’t get to see the people we’ve been waiting, driving for, hoping for hours, even days to see. The metal detector alarms blared throughout the convention center, jarring our nerves. Eventually, I was sent through security with no stops, and it was just me and the sprit. Once I broke through to the other side I was witnessing a legend. Not witnessing through a disconnected screen, but I finally felt like part of a movement: One for our generation to take back control of our government and once again make it by all the people and for the people. Hearing the cheers of our generation dreaming aloud and screaming for much-needed change, it was a spark of hope in this forlorn sea of darkness. As Bernie was on the stage he emanated a pure, genuine, righteous energy. It was then I knew this man could indeed be trusted to be our nation’s next president. He spoke on making a living wage having healthcare as a right not as a privilege, and most importantly being bold enough to say we need a revolution to our political system. As I left as a representative of Kent State University, OSA and the fighting spirit of our generation, I screamed in the still quietness, “The students united will never be defeated!” With my mission complete I reconnected with my group, and headed back to Kent. The Legacy Dinner was a microcosm of the disorganized American system: frustrated in the red tape, paranoid, ultimately falling apart, but at least it can still put on a show to remember. dwebb@kent.edu

Students spend spring break at home BSR Beats: Kickback Tracks Jacob Ruffo Student Life Reporter
For some students, spring break is a trip to Florida with family and friends; for others, spring break is just some wellearned time off. Unfortunately, for some students, spring break is only a break from classes, as work and other responsibilities can keep a student from enjoying their break fully. One student, Kristin Discerni, a senior translation major, won’t have much free time over her break. “I might get to go home and see my family for three days or so,” she said. “I have a job here that keeps me busy, so I’ll mostly just be working.” Discerni said she works for the Akron Beacon Journal and
that she only has those three days off of work during that week. “I want to shoot my bow and ride one of our motorcycles,” Discerni said when asked what she planned to do with her potential time off. Discerni said she plans to work on some papers during break while she’s here in Kent. Another student, Sevaste Kontokanis, a freshman psychology major, has a less busy break planned. “I’m not going anywhere for spring break,” Kontokanis said. “That was never really something my family did, so it’s still not really something I do.” Kontokanis plans to go home and relax, taking advantage of not having any set plans. “I don’t have anything planned, at all. I will probably
see some friends from home, but other than that I’ll just hang out with my family,” Kontokanis said. Freshman political science major Chazz Ware said he’s upset that a spring break vacation with friends was not possible. “Kent State’s spring break does not line up with any other schools around here, so a lot of my friends are just in classes all week,” Ware said. “I’m going to be home for a week, but all of my friends will be at school, so I won’t get to spend a lot of time with them — if I get to spend any at all.” Instead of going on a trip, Ware said he plans to work a couple days. Even though she won’t get to see her friends, he said the time off will be nice. jruffo@kent.edu

D’Angelo- Really
After 14 years of not releasing new music, D’Angelo gives us a beautiful guitar-laced track. His distinguishable sound gives vibes on a different level that is crucial for any chill playlist.
A Tribe Called Quest- Electric Relaxation
A Tribe Called Quest is quintessential to any kickback playlist. In particular, this track has the ultimate jazz vibes and chill, yet intellectual rhymes with a hint of Afrocentric style that is pivotal to give you a unique, fresh feel to kick back to.
The Internet- Under Control
The Internet is a soul band signed to Tyler, The Creator’s collective Odd Future, whose soulful sound is as dope as the vibes they give. The smooth bass line and Syd the Kyd’s soft vocals make you feel like you’re riding a cloud on a summer day. Who doesn’t want to feel like that?
Anderson.PaakHeart Don’t Stand A Chance Anderson .Paak’s latest album Malibu is full of dope tracks
and “Heart Don’t Stand A Chance” is one of the best on the album. The groovy guitar solos and soulful lyrics from .Paak make this a killer track to chill to.
Frank Sinatra- The Best Is Yet To Come Talk about a throwback! Sure, this song is almost a half a century old, but Sinatra provides cool bravado accompanied by the immortal Count Basie to let you know “the best is yet to come.” So why not kick back and enjoy life?
Duby Rogers- 30 In A 35 (Cruisin’)
Cleveland’s own hip-hop artist Duby Rogers released his latest project “D.A.F.T. II” at the beginning of the new year and he didn’t disappoint. The AyyeDeesMM collective member gave a handful of tracks to kick it to, with “30 in a 35 (Cruisin’)” leading the forefront of the best tracks to kick back to. mnobis@kent.edu
