A JMC course was incorrectly identified in the story titled "Pulitzer Prize winner to join Kent State faculty this spring" in the Wednesday, Oct. 21 edition of The Kent Stater. The course is Writing Across Platforms, not Multimedia Across Platforms.
Max McCarty / The Kent Stater An American and a POW MIA flag sits on top of a crane inside the new College of Architecture & Environmental Design construction zone on Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2015.
Keisha Burley Architecture/Environmental Design Reporter Every Monday and Wednesday at noon, students gather outside the construction of the Architecture and Environmental Design building on Lincoln Street to learn about its progress as part of Sidewalk Talk. Sidewalk Talk was created in order to be a unique learning experience for students who are eager to see what the new building has to offer. It is a collaboration effort between Kent State’s Office of the University Architect and Gilbane, Inc. “It’s really about the process
of design,” said Gilbane Inc. Project Executive Jeff Hutchison. “It’s important that they design a building that is constructible.” Hutchison also explained that the talk is designed to enlighten students on the progress of the building as well as the activities involved, such as learning about the concrete pours the construction team uses. As far as progress is concerned, the fair Ohio weather has the team steadily getting their work done. Hutchison said that everything is being done on time. “I personally really like having the opportunity to get out of a normal classroom for a bit and coming down to this site,” said
Marcus Giangiuli, a freshman architecture and environmental design major. “I think every new building should have a program like this because, as students, we are curious and these talks answer important questions.” Hutchison said the Talks can host up to 60 people, and the weather is a big indicator of how the turnout will be for any given day. The Sidewalk Talks are primarily geared for architecture majors, but the College of Architecture and Environmental Design and Gilbane Inc. encourage everyone to stop by the bi-weekly events and get educated on what the new building has to offer. kburley1@kent.edu
Telepresence advances student therapy Toni Hunt Education, Health and Human Services Reporter Excitement, eagerness and confidence grace children’s faces as they adjust the camera during their speech pathology and audiology therapy session at Greenfield Exempted Village Schools. Kent State offers telepresence therapy — which involves interaction between a specialist and a student — through the services of Cisco’s WebEx, a collaborative software that allows for videoconferencing, interactive online training, webinars and presentations to Greenfield’s K-12 classes. The videoconferencing therapy sessions last for 20 minutes and allows therapists to interact with students similar to a face-toface therapy session. “One of the things I really like about this is that I see my students individually,” said Patricia Chafin, a project coordinator in the Health Sciences department. “It’s so child-based. I feel like the focus is truly on the kids.” Chafin said her entire career was spent in a more traditional therapy session at schools. Using telepresence makes the children more attentive, she found. “I think the children, at least in (this) day and age... would automatically focus on a computer,” she said. “They attend better through the telepractice models than they did when they were in the room with me.” Chafin said the interactive video therapy and programs do a great deal in enlightening the children. The audio quality in
WebEx allows for her to disseminate the speech sounds of the students well, similar to the traditional therapy session, but she said there are both pros and cons to such a service. “One thing that I miss is when I’m teaching speech sound production. Sometimes I wish I could touch (the student's face to help them form the sound),” she said, while pantomiming the motions of speech pathology therapy. “Otherwise, I think you can do virtually anything you would do in a traditional therapy setting.” Susan Grogan-Johnson, an associate professor of speech pathology and audiology in the health sciences department, said her research suggested there was not a significant difference in the amount of improvement for a student utilizing telepractice services compared to face-to-face therapy. “We’re not trying to show that telepractice is better,” she said. “We’re just trying to show that if (therapy) is done by telepractice, (progress) will look about the same." Lauren Ledzianowski, a graduate student majoring in speech language pathology, said — when conducting her therapy sessions — she saw a significant amount of improvement in her students. “It was like being right next to each other,” Ledzianowski said. “I can see growth in the data I collected in the short amount of time.” Ledzianowski said that although the therapy is over the course of a web conference, she can still see the children’s determination in achieving their goals.
“When they finally get to where they want to be, it’s exciting,” she said. “Even though we’re over a webcam conference, it’s still sharing in the excitement with each other. It doesn’t differ just because it’s over video conference (rather than) in person.” Grogan-Johnson said one of the big differences when it comes to telepresence therapy is efficiency pertaining to time. She said the web conferences make consulting more accessible because there aren’t a lot of specialists in rural areas where a lot of the schools are located. “One of the rural districts we work (in took) almost an hour for me to get (to),” she said. “With telepractice, I switch off from one school and a minute later I’m switched on to a new school.” Sarah King, a graduate student majoring in speech language pathology, said she would prefer to do in-person sessions, but the skills she has learned while working with telepresence will prepare her for her career path. “I think it’s a good bridge or stepping stone for me, especially this semester because I will be transitioning to my school-based placement,” she said. “I feel like it’s better to get that experience now with collecting the data live and having to move along through your tasks pretty efficiently and quickly.” Grogan-Johnson said telepractice therapy has become more acceptable with speech pathology specialists and video therapy will be seen more frequently in the future. thunt7@kent.edu

SEVEN The Seven Opportunities Plan Upperclassmen who may have already taken remedial courses originally needed for their degree in an old catalogue, but are not required in the new catalogue, may not be impacted by the new requirements. “If you’re halfway through your program and the degree requirements change, you can opt to either follow the old catalogue... or you can opt to adopt the new catalogue,” Diacon said. Another part of the seven opportunities plan is to create new hybrid degree programs. There are currently already over 50 hybrid programs at Kent State, but the university is looking to expand these programs within the next year. “We’re getting ready to work about 15 more through (the senate) approval process,” Diacon said. “I would say by the end of this academic year we (should) be up into the mid sixties.” Each hybrid program will be researched before it is proposed to the senate to ensure its future success. “We don’t want to create new hybrid programs in areas where no one is going to enroll. That wouldn’t be a good use of anybody’s time or resources,” Diacon said. “We want to do a study first and do some market analysis to help figure out what areas might (be) appropriate.” Overall, the opportunity that Diacon sees as most influential in the cost cut program is the expansion of the full-time tuition credit hours. “The numbers are already in that suggest that the end of the overload fee and...the (new) 18-credit (cap)...made an enormous impact,” he said. Whether or not all of the opportunities are new to Kent State, the university plans on creating a publicity campaign to explain the options to students in order to spread awareness. The campaign will mainly be aimed at students who have recently been accepted to Kent State, according to Diacon. mhermen2@kent.edu
Students face adjustments for guests on Halloween Ryan Landolph Resident Life Reporter Kent Halloween is set for Saturday, Oct. 31, but students living on campus still have time to get prepared. Students are allowed to have up to two guests registered to visit for the night and will be responsible for the behavior of their visitors. A guest is anyone who does not live in the same hall as the student. There are requirements that must be met with the registration. “(Students) must register guests by 5 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 29,” said Brian Hellwig, assistant director of residential services. “(Students) will need to pick up guests’ wristbands between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. in (their) building’s Resident Hall Director Office.” Hellwig said that on the night of Halloween, all exterior doors will be locked and students will have to enter through the central door. All resident assistants will be on duty throughout the night compared to the normal two on an average night. Students can register their guests online. rlandol1@kent.edu

tington Bank, which left some customer accounts overdrawn.
So much hatred, too much time Samantha Karam Columnist Albert Einstein defines insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. That’s exactly how I would describe the religious activists frequenting the Kent State campus. Time and time again these people come to a blatantly liberal college to protest things like homosexuality and female empowerment. Do they really expect students to wake up one day with a changed mindset because of their redundant preaching? I think they do, which is insane because millennials clearly aren’t going to flashback to the aged mindset these activists try to pound into our brains. Still, they give the same sermons every time and this has done nothing in regards to gathering support. Their radical methods don’t gain them followers. Rather, they send students running from their cause. That’s because you can’t force-feed kids anymore when they reach certain age. These activists don’t understand this, so they stand in front of the M.A.C. Center waving giant signs and handing out Bibles. Every time they do this students flip them off and mock their cause. When I walk past their protests, there’s always a group of students huddled around them. Each side is yelling so loud all I’m able to hear is the buzz of conflicting opinions. These confrontations continually end the same. Students disagree with what these activists preach and the activists respond with Bible verses. However, reading Bible passages to back up your claims doesn’t mean much when you’re talking to a group who doesn’t follow the Bible. I don’t know why this consistent negative reaction fuels the activists’ fire and keeps them coming back for more. They choose to waste their time calling large groups of people sinners and hating on everything that defies the deteriorating traditions established thousands of years ago. It’s ironic because in trying to make the world a better place by their standards, these activists are causing discomfort by the standards of everyone else. They stand on their self-made podiums looking down on anyone considered bad by their strict morals. They try to make people feel humiliated for not doing right by the Lord. That’s just mean. Everyone has the right to believe or not believe in whatever higher power he or she wants, but the moment someone uses his or her religion to demean another person it becomes an issue with me. These activists do nothing to expand their perspectives. That’s why their attempts at “reform” will remain failures. If they really wanted to educate, or whatever it is they’re struggling to do, they need to first try and understand the audience they’re attempting to reach. But that would require stepping out of their comfort zone and, after all, these religious protesters are like attention-deprived children. And they seem to think that negative attention is better than nothing at all. Nothing ever results from the face-offs between activists and students, because neither side tries to sit down and have an honest conversation about why they feel a certain way. Until that honest conversation comes, students shouldn’t waste their time feeding the activists’ need for attention. They should just muster all the strength they have and simply walk past them. When the activists no longer have someone to preach to, they’ll burrow back into their chapels and we can all carry on with our lives. skaram3@kent.edu

No-go for Joe Biden
Vice President Joe Biden is no longer looking to take Obama’s seat in the White House. While the former Delaware senator ran for the Democratic nomination in 1988 and 2008, he made the announcement Wednesday that he will not be entering the 2016 race. Despite the election being a little more than a year away, Biden would have gotten a late start compared to the massive support Democratic candidates like Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have already gathered. He might have faced a tough challenge of playing catch up to raise large amounts of money for his campaign, while other Democrats sped ahead in the competition. While his name and reputation for being the president’s right-hand man would have helped him succeed in capturing a unique following, we believe Biden wouldn’t be as all-in as he’d like after losing his son, Beau, to brain cancer. Clinton went ahead and acknowledged
his announcement, taking to Twitter by posting “(Biden) is a good friend and a great man. Today and always, inspired by his optimism and commitment to change the world for the better. -H.” Martin O’Malley, a Democratic presidential candidate, also recognized Biden’s decision publicly, tweeting “(Biden) is one of the most decent, compassionate public servants our nation has produced — I respect his decision & wish him the best. -O’M.” We believe Biden made the right call, especially while he is still mourning the loss of his son. While we do not think Biden’s career is over, a presidential title is not the right fit for him. Another Democratic nominee added to the mix is not needed. We respect Biden’s decision and hope he’s able to find a new career goal. The above editorial is the consensus opinion of The Kent Stater editorial board, whose names are listed above.
Exxon’s missed opportunity to address climate change The Dallas Morning News Guest Column What did Exxon executives know about global warming and when did they know it? A report by InsideClimate News published Sunday suggests the company’s own scientists gave warning as far back as the 1970s that carbon dioxide from fossil fuels were putting the planet at risk. From a 2015 perspective, it appears that Exxon missed a golden opportunity to take a responsible course and gradually steer the world away from a reckless dependence on fossil fuels. Instead, the company spent years publicly denying global climate change and the role humans play by burning fossil fuels. ExxonMobil spokesman Alan Jeffers responds that it’s unfair to apply today’s standards to what was highly debatable back when Exxon’s internal studies were warning of future problems. James F. Black, a senior Exxon scientist, warned the company in 1977 that the continued burning of fossil fuels such as gasoline could lead to a doubling of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Trapped heat could boost global temperatures by 4 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit—even higher at the poles. Black and other Exxon scientists warned of dire agricultural effects, skewed rainfall patterns and growing desertification—amazing prescience considering today’s rising seas, increasingly violent and costly storms, severe droughts and heavy flooding. Jeffers said the issue deserves further research. The company has never curtailed its climate-change science, he added, and its internal findings have remained consistent with prevailing scientific thought through-
out the past four decades on the effects of fossil fuel usage. Nevertheless, we can’t shake the image of Exxon’s executives dismissing the damage their primary product creates, but consistently questioning the science that underpins the global-warming argument. It reminds us of the days when Big Tobacco adamantly insisted that science was inconclusive about the cancer-causing effects of cigarettes. Jeffers rejects that analogy, saying that Big Tobacco fabricated “junk research” that companies knew to be false. Exxon did no such thing. The company’s stand has evolved as research increasingly confirmed the effect humans were having on the environment. The record is undeniable that former Exxon chief executive Lee Raymond, whose opinions resonated throughout Washington, led the charge against what he portrayed as a global warming boogeyman. A full decade after Black’s first scientific results were issued, Raymond called global warming “an illusion.” He derided the need for an international pact aimed at reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Sadly, Exxon had the opportunity to lead the world toward a measured, manageable approach toward a solution. With profits to protect, Exxon provided climate-change doubters a bully pulpit they didn’t deserve and gave lawmakers the political cover to delay global action until long after the environmental damage had reached severe levels. That’s the inconvenient truth as we see it.
Lil B is the most likable celebrity Jacob Ruffo Columnist Rapper and social media icon Lil B, “The BasedGod,” was recently in the news. Again. Toronto councilman Norm Kelly tweeted at the almighty BasedGod when the Toronto Blue Jays were playing the American League Division Series against the Texas Rangers asking for help. And wouldn’t you know it, Lil B answered Kelly’s prayers by blessing the Jays with the strength to take the series. From tweeting about spreading love to his 1.18 million followers, to doing GirlTime USA, Lil B’s Twitter game is unmatched. And this isn’t the first time Lil B has used his powers to influence a team’s season. Oh no. Last summer, after giving NBA star James Harden a chance to admit that he stole his “cooking” celebration from him, he “cursed” Harden after the basketball player refused to acknowledge Lil B’s solemn warning. Lil B attended the fifth game of the Western Conference finals to curse Harden in person. Harden would go on to have what was the worst game in his career, and in playoff history. Harden, the runner-up for the NBA’s MVP this past season, ended with 13 turnovers, the most in a playoff game in history. The loss ended the Rockets’ season. Harden still refuses to acknowledge the source of the cooking dance, so we’ll see what happens to his season as a result. This should serve as one of many examples that teach a real and simple lesson: Don’t cross Lil B. Nothing good comes from doing so. During the second game of the 2015 NBA Finals, Golden State Warriors forward Marreese Speights missed a wide-open fast break dunk. The next day, due to some extensive research, a shocking tweet was found on Speights’ account from 2011: “Lil b is terrible.” Another case where calling out Lil B went wrong was with NBA superstar Kevin Durant. The Oklahoma City Thunder forward has called Lil B “wack” multiple times. This has warranted a curse from the Based God that will only be lifted if Durant plays him in a game of one-on-one to 21. Lil B’s most famous and longest lasting curse — it has resulted in a diss track from the rapper — has been a championship ban on Durant. As a result of the curse, Durant missed huge chunks of games during last year’s season. Despite this, Durant keeps ducking Lil B. It’s not hard to avoid being cursed. Just don’t talk trash about him. If you use his dance, please tweet at him and pay some homage. Plus, he is gracious enough to offer his services if you need some help, so just ask. When Lil B isn’t cursing and tweeting, he can be seen making free 105-song mixtapes or touring college campuses giving lectures on the based lifestyle. Truly a role model to people of all ages, Lil B is one of the greatest celebrities our generation is lucky enough to have. jruffo@kent.edu

Flashes expect mix of vets, freshmen to make impact Hockey prepares for The Flashes have seven new players this season between transfers and freshmen. Only three people from last year’s team remain that played impactful minutes. “When you look at our team here, if I were to give you my top 10, whoever those 10 would be, seven of those 10 would be new,” Senderoff said. “The majority of the rotation is going to be someone who didn’t play here last year." With all of the new faces on this year’s team, Senderoff and the coaching staff know that this year will be a process and the beginning of the season won’t be pretty. The team will have to rely its experienced starting frontcourt the majority of the first half of the season.
game against Duquesne
The Returning Front Court
The Flashes’ starting frontcourt is the only thing that remains the same from last years regular season MAC Champions. Redshirt junior Jimmy Hall is the biggest name and the leader this year for Kent State and a favorite for this seasons MAC Player of the Year Award. “I would like to win the player of the year award,” Hall said “But I just want to remain staying humble and remain grinding and it’s a team sport so I want to show by just playing my game.” Hall was a first team All-MAC selection last season averaging a team high of 15.9 points and 7.7 rebounds. The Flashes also return starter seniors Chris Ortiz and Khalia Spicer. Spicer led the team in total blocks with 53 and Ortiz started 22 of 35 games last season. Kent State also returns sophomore Raasean Davis, appearing in 21 games logging 96 minutes.
The “New” Guys

Stephen Means II Sports Reporter The Kent State men’s basketball team comes into the 2015-16 season with new uniforms and a lot of new people; all expected to contribute from the onset. Head coach Rob Senderoff explained that even though there is a multitude of new faces this season, many of them have been around the program since last spring and are well versed in Kent State basketball. “Fortunately we had a number of guys redshirt last year,” Senderoff said. “It does help, because they do know the culture. They’ve been in practice whether it’s been a year or just a semester. I do think it was an advantage because the first practice wasn’t as eye opening as it was for the four freshmen.” Kent State must also replace its entire backcourt from last season. The Flashes lost Kris Brewer, Devareaux Manley and Derek Jackson.
Deon Edwin, Marvin Jones, Kellon Thomas and Xavier Pollard were all a part of last year’s team but were ineligible to play do to NCAA transfer rules. Edwin transferred in during the Spring 2014 semester from Laramie County Community College in Wyoming and is the younger brother of former Kent State player Jason Edwin. Jones is a transfer from Highland Community College in Illinois where he led the team in rebounds, 7.9, and 1.9 blocks per game. Pollard provides the most decorated resume of the three transfers, playing his first three seasons at Maine where he earned America East Third Team honors, averaging 14.7 points during his junior season. “I’m just here to play hard and get wins,” Pollard said. “As long as we do those two things I’m happy.” Redshirt junior guard Kellon Thomas isn’t necessarily new to the Kent State program, but missed all except eight games last season after suffering an orbital bone fracture in practice. Thomas was averaging five points a game prior to the injury.

Chris Yamnitsky Sports Reporter
The Flashes added a four-man freshman class filled with guards during the offseason to replace the losses of Brewer, Jackson and Manley. Jalen Avery comes from Shroder High school in Covington, Kentucky, and was ranked as the fourty-second best point guard in the country. Rosel Hurley comes from Shakers Heights High School prior to attending prep school IMG Academy in Florida. Alonzo Walker comes by way of Orangeville Prep in Canada. Jaylin Walker comes from Romulus High School in Detroit, Michigan.
According to head coach Jim Underwood, the Kent State Hockey Club used its week off to give the players some time to rest and work on their personal game. “We took an opportunity for (the) guys to rest any bruises or any kind of sore muscles,” Underwood said. "When we were on the ice we worked on a lot of individual skill such as quick shot releases and puck control." The Flashes also grabbed the No. 14 spot in the national ranking with a starting record of 3-0-1. "It’s a great spot for the team to be in," said Underwood. Duquesne University's hockey team brings a new opponent to the rink for the Flashes. Expectations are up in the air for the team, according to Underwood. “We’ll do a little research to see who they’ve played already this season,” Underwood said. “I think the important thing for our team is to focus on what we can control. If we do that, we are positive we should have some good results this weekend." Junior defenseman Alex Compean believes the key to being successful against Duquesne is all about special teams and puck work. "I think power play will be key,” Compean said. “We have to just keep working the puck down low and keep them guessing at what we are going to do.” The No. 14 Flashes take on Duquesne at 7:30 p.m. Friday night at the Kent State Ice Arena.

Rugby captain succeeds on field and in classroom Kyle Samec Sports Reporter Parents always tell their kids to study and work hard. Those beliefs are especially important to Kent State women’s rugby, and particularly, for captain Sarah Giachetti. Giachetti, a senior speech pathology and audiology major, is a USA Rugby Collegiate Academic Honor Roll recipient for the 2014-2015 school year. She maintains a high GPA all while being the captain for the Flashes’ rugby club team. “Her academic success speaks volumes to who she is as a person and player,” said head coach Jeff Horton. “She is extremely dedicated and disciplined... (and) gives 120 percent effort. Sarah’s focus and drive fuels this team.” That drive Horton emphasized comes from a personal experience that inspired Giachetti to study speech
pathology and audiology. “I have a younger cousin who began speaking much later than what’s typical, and I found myself always trying to communicate with him,” Giachetti said. “I was really interested in why he wasn’t talking yet because it was obvious that he understood language. He was later diagnosed with a speech disorder called childhood apraxia… and is still receiving treatment for it today.” Rugby has been another passion of Giachetti’s since her senior year of high school. “I always wanted to play football with my brother and this was the closest thing I could find,” Giachetti said. “I fell in love with it right away.” The Flashes (3-1) take on Mid-American Conference opponent Western Michigan University (0-2 in the MAC) this Saturday on the road. ksamec@kent.edu

Kent State (3-4, 2-1 Mid-American Conference) returns home this week to take on Bowling Green (5-2, 3-0 MAC) in a battle that will have major implications in the MAC East standings. A win would put the Flashes in a tie with the Falcons for first place in the MAC East. This game will feature one of the nation's top defenses against one of the nation's top offenses. Other than Illinois, the Flashes have only allowed six touchdowns in their last five games. The Falcons come into the game leading the nation in passing offense (432 yards per game), fourth in total offense (594.3 yards per game) and eighth in scoring (43.3 yards per game). Sophomore wide receiver for Bowling Green, Roger Lewis, is one of the most electric players in the nation. Lewis is second in the nation in receiving yards (145.7), fourth in touchdowns (9) and ninth in receptions per game (7.7). Falcons quarterback Matt Jones currently leads the nation in passing yards (2,891) and third in passing touchdowns (24).
Head coach Paul Haynes understands that this may be the biggest test of the season for his defense because of Bowling Green’s ability to put up points and high-powered offense. “I’m trying to do a rain, sleet and snow dance, but I keep looking at the weather and it keeps saying it’s supposed to be 64-degrees and zero percent chance of rain,” Haynes said. “I keep looking at film through the years and no one has really shut them down.” Haynes said the Flashes are going to have to do a good job of finding ways to control the ball and stopping the Falcons. Even with the major implications behind the upcoming game, Kent State views it as just another game and isn’t too worried about standings at this point in the season. “It still comes down to preparation and execution," Haynes said. To win the game, Haynes said that if they don’t score, they don’t win. “These are the games that defensively, you get excited about,” Haynes said. “(You’re) playing against an offense that is so high-powered. We can’t put pressure on ourselves saying that we have to shut them out.” Kick-off at Dix Stadium on Saturday is at 1 p.m.
