OWL EXPRESS, CHANGES GRADES Ciara Hodges News Editor
SNEAK PEEK
A former student is in police custody for allegations hacking into Owl Express to change grades. According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Chase Hughes turned himself in to the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office on Monday, Sept. 19. Hughes was charged with three counts of computer trespassing among other charges, according to Tammy DeMel, executive director of Strategic Communications and Issues Management at Kennesaw State University. KSU police received reports that the computer system was hacked as early as May of this year, according to the AJC. Student Hacker continued on pg. 2

SGA SWEARS IN NEW SENATORS, DISCUSSES PLANS FOR UNIVERSITY Brenda Cisneros Staff Writer The Student Government Association held a meeting Wednesday, Sept. 21, to discuss a new proposal and to swear in two new senators. The quality enhancement plan, also shortened as QEP, is a course of action required by institutions for accreditation. The plan should address a topic related to enhancing student learning. The current QEP at Kennesaw State University focuses on global learning and engagement. The proposed

A United States diplomat spoke to students Thursday, Sept. 22, in the Burruss Building auditorium about life as a foreign service officer and opportunities for students to work for the government. Isiah Parnell has spent 32 years working as a diplomat for U.S. Foreign Services. His recent stations include chief of the U.S. Embassy in Kingston, Jamaica and deputy chief of mission of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya. The presentation began with a world map showing the locations of over 265 diplomatic ports in more than 180 countries. Foreign service officers are stationed at these diplomatic ports to represent the United States overseas. “Every place has something special about it,” Parnell said. “It’s a fantastic way of life — there’s a lot to see in the world.” Parnell described the five types of foreign service officers: political, economic and commercial, public diplomacy, consular, and management career track officers.

NEWS COCA-COLA VP SPEAKS TO COMMUNICATION STUDENTS
Sabrina Kerns Staff Writer
The School of Communication and Media kicked off its 2016-2017 Colloquium Speaker Series with its first event in the Social Sciences building Thursday, Sept. 22. The event’s keynote speaker was Scott Williamson, the vice president of Public Affairs and Communication at Coca-Cola North America. The theme for this year’s series is “Empowering World-Ready Communicators,” and Williamson offered advice and inspiring lessons to students seeking careers in communication. “It is a great pleasure and an honor to be a part of this colloquium today,” he said. “I want to be able to leave these students with a little something
they did not know before.” Williamson shared his “six lessons learned,” some of the most important lessons that he has learned in his 24 years at Coca-Cola. “After pondering over what I would share today, I realized that the one thing I have is 24 years of experience, which is really just a nice way of saying I’m old,” Williamson joked. His six lessons included: • Ignore the data • Be simple, be clear, be awesome • Shine your own shoes and iron your own shirt • Question the impossible • Hold out for both marshmallows With each one he presented, Williamson shared personal
stories from work as well as his life at home. He also shared his experience with millennials in the workplace. “Your single greatest personal marketing asset is the one thing that you — to one degree or another — have incredible intuition about that people of my generation have zero intuition about,” Williamson said. “And that is social media.” After his speech, Williamson answered students’ questions. Leaving the auditorium, many students said they found the presentation inspiring and took note of the advice offered. “I thought it was amazing,” said freshman communication major Jessie Romines. “It was a truly inspiring speech from a man who works for a truly
inspiring company.” While many found it helpful, some of the students that have been attending Kennesaw State University longer claim it was similar to the School of Communication and Media’s past events. “I just feel like I’ve heard it all before,” said senior communication major Jon Highsmith. “This is their fourth colloquium, and it feels like the speakers they invite every year always give the same advice.” Senior lecturer Thomas Gray mentioned, however, that while this is the school’s fourth colloquium, it is heading in a different direction this year. Instead of inviting more speakers to a singular colloquium, the school is
holding two events over the course of the year with more prominent speakers. The next event in the colloquium speaker series is scheduled for sometime next semester. At the end of the event, student organizations set up tables with handouts to teach attendees more about the opportunities available to them. Organizations present included the Society of Professional Journalists, Lambda Pi Eta and the Public Relations Student Society of America. Representatives from the School of Communication and Media advising center and career planning center also attended to answer questions.
Student Hacker continued from pg. 1 Hughes allegedly used his girlfriend’s internet to hack into Owl Express and changed his grade as well as the grades of four classmates. He is also accused of stealing sensitive data that included medical, financial and credit history. When the police searched Hughes’ home, they reportedly found a notebook that with the login information of at least 36 faculty members. Hughes is charged with computer trespassing, computer invasion of privacy and computer forgery.

The Office of Student Advocacy hosted an open discussion Tuesday, Sept. 20 for students to share their opinions about safe spaces and the freedom of speech. The discussion — “Safe Spaces vs. Free Speech: Living the Owl Creed with Civility” — was part of Kennesaw State University’s celebration of Constitution Week, commemorating the signing of the U.S. Constitution on Sept. 17, 1787. The University of Chicago recently sent a letter to its incoming freshmen, informing them that the university does not offer safe spaces or trigger warnings. This has garnered national attention and sparked a dialogue about the importance of both. Nicole Phillips, the associate director of Student Advocacy, moderated the event. She said that, although both safe spaces and freedom of speech strive for the common goal of giving individuals a voice, the forums US Diplomat continued from pg. 1

These jobs include objectives such as assisting U.S. citizens overseas and promoting American good and services. Foreign service officers visit a variety of locations overseas. From 2008 to 2013, Parnell assisted in helping Kenya’s citizens have free, fair and peaceful elections. “One of the great joys of service is to see your work come to fruition,” Parnell said. Lillian Ofili, a junior majoring in political science, enjoyed Parnell’s speech. “It is important to bring international issues to Kennesaw State,” Ofili said. “Learning about different opportunities and issues around
they use to achieve this goal are very different. “Whereas free speech as we have come to know it is unfettered and unlimited,” she said, “safe space tends to be a more facilitated space for people to be able to have a dialogue about differences, about society, that would preserve as much respect as possible.” Dean of Students Michael Sanseviro, another moderator, added that neither the Constitution nor the Supreme Court protects an understanding of free speech that allows individuals to say anything that comes to mind. He clarified, though, that safe spaces do not guarantee students will never be offended in the campus environment. “I know from my own undergraduate experiences that it was because I was in classes where I got highly offended that I learned so much and grew so much,” Sanseviro said. Students also weighed in
on the issue, many voicing concerns that campus safe spaces may ill-equip students for a workforce where such guarantees are not made. “University is a bit of a protective bubble, but ultimately it has to get you ready for the next step,” said Rick Zabell, an undeclared senior. Phillips, one of the moderators, concluded the discussion by introducing the Owl Creed, a student-drafted list of standards for academic and personal excellence that emphasizes respect for diversity. She hopes students will not just become acquainted with the creed at convocation but will think about it as a way of life. The event attracted three students and two faculty members, despite expecting at least 50 attendees. Both Phillips and Sanseviro agreed that the low turnout does not reflect on student interest in either the safe space debate or Constitution Week.
the world is important.” Parnell also discussed the pursuit of a career in foreign service. “Almost 100 percent of foreign service officers have undergraduate degrees,” Parnell said. “About 50 percent have a graduate degree and speak a foreign language.” To prepare for the career field, Parnell encouraged students to continue their education, take advantage of study abroad programs and learn a foreign language. If interested in a career in U.S. Foreign Services, Parnell said students should begin with learning the romance languages, such as French and Spanish, and then move onto more difficult languages. Foreign service officers are
taught new languages for months to prepare for a job in a new country. Parnell’s favorite part about being a foreign service officer is the excitement of a new job every few years. He has worked in the Caribbean, North America, South America, Central America and Africa. “Different country, different culture and maybe a different language,” Parnell said. “It gives you the opportunity to travel to a lot of different places.” While the career is ideal for those who love to travel, it comes with its disadvantages, according to Parnell. “There’s always the challenge associated with moving your family every two to four years,” he said.

KENNESAW STATE UNIVERSITY | THE SENTINEL | SEPT. 27 2016 Foote said. Anyone interested in being a part of the committees to help with the proposal are encouraged to email Foote at sfoote@kennesaw.edu. Two new senators were sworn into office during the meeting. Brandon Miller, a professional
sales major, will serve as a Senator of the Coles College of Business, and Kamau Williams will be the Senator for First-Year Students. Other significant announcements made included the plan for a bike route that will run from the Marietta
campus to the Kennesaw campus. The meeting also discussed details about an opportunity for students to receive two free tickets through OwlLife for the upcoming Homecoming concert featuring Lupe Fiasco on Oct. 14. SGA meetings are held

“IN THE RED AND BROWN WATER” PORTRAYS THE RARELY HEARD VOICE OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN GIRLS
Shannon Mira Mayembe Staff Writer The Department of Theatre and Performance Studies concluded its week-long showing of “In the Red and Brown Water” on Sept. 25 at the Onyx Theatre. Set in the bayou of Louisiana and utilizing West African religion, “In the Red and Brown Water” takes the audience to a whole new world and allows them to experience AfricanAmerican culture that has been lost. The play raises questions about the relationship between race, gender and opportunity, as well as the effect of suppressed grief on adolescence. The play follows Oya, a young, impoverished African-
American girl as she deals with the difficult decision of whether to pursue a track and field scholarship at a university in Louisiana or take care of her ailing mother as she struggles between adolescence and adulthood. Dr. Angela Farr Schiller, Kennesaw State University’s assistant professor and resident dramaturge for the Department of Theatre and Performance Studies directed the show. She believes that the play came at a perfect time as the nation goes through a tumultuous time involving racial inequality. “It’s really rare in our society that we get a chance to hear the stories and the experiences of
black women,” Farr Schiller said. “We have black women who have run for president, black women who have worked for NASA and black women who have been murdered by police, yet we don’t hear about them.” Assistant director and choreographer Damian Lockhart, a KSU alumnus, discussed the importance of “In the Red and Brown Water” in terms of representation. “We often get these stories of black women where they might be the focus of the story,” Lockhart said, “but it’s what someone else thinks what a black woman is.” The performances of the play at the Onyx Theatre had the
audiences roaring with laughter. “In the Red and Brown Water” was originally produced by the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta and written by Tarell Alvin McCraney. This is the first play in McCraney’s “The Brother/Sister” trilogy. It discusses sexuality, identity, adolescence, community and the black church in two hours and 10 minutes. “The play is directly influenced by the tragic poem ‘Yerma’ by Spanish poet, playwright and theater director Federico Garcia Lorca. It’s also influenced by the Yoruba myth of Oya/Oba. The myths and stories were used to tell the urban story of
African-Americans in housing projects,” McCraney said in an interview with the McCarter Theatre, Princeton. “I began exploring the mixing of two stories from two different cultures — ‘Yerma’ and Oba — and how they mix,” McCraney said, “essentially how those mixtures are what make up the people in Cuba, the Spanish Caribbean, African and European Spanish.” Future performances by the Department of Theatre and Performance Studies can be found on its online calendar or its Facebook page.

The Sept. 7 release of Apple’s new mobile device, the iPhone 7, boasted improved design and a sleeker interface, but confused some new users by eliminating a key feature of older-generation Apple devices: the headphone jack. Before the release, Apple excited its loyal customer base by announcing that the new iPhone would feature an improved dual-lens camera function, a longer battery life and a faster processor. Disappointment and confusion followed the initial buzz about the iPhone 7 after the announcement that the improved features would come at the expense of the traditional headphone jack. According to Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller, the reason for the removal of the audio input is that the new features require more physical space within the hardware of the device. Apple reports increased sales of Bluetooth devices, including speakers and headphones, and decreased sales of wired headphones. This statistically tells Apple that improved internal hardware is in higher demand than the survival of the audio jack. “I think the iPhone 7 is great. I like the direction that they’re taking it,” said former KSU student Alex Geyer, who
works at a company that provides technical support for Apple products. “I like that they’re attempting to change the standard. The 3.5 mm headphone jack is the oldest technology on phones today.” Junior psychology major AJ Nieves, who works at OwlTEC, offered some insight into the hardware of the new iPhone. “The iPhone 7 is sold out in stores, so people aren’t hating it,” Nieves said. “The processor is twice as fast as the leading competitor’s phones.” According to Apple Newsroom, the iPhone 7 comes with EarPods with a Lightning connector, as well as a 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter. Using either one, however, prevents the use of a charger while listening to music. The iPhone 7 is designed to be used with Apple’s new Bluetooth “AirPods.” These look quite similar to Apple’s wired EarPods, with the obvious exception of a physical connection to the device or to each other. Of course, Apple users are also welcome to connect Bluetooth Beats headphones, which are now also an Apple property. This is not the first time Apple has shocked its customers by doing away with an input on devices. In 2012, the iPhone 5 introduced the lightning
connector, which rendered older-generation Apple devices and chargers useless without a $29 adapter. The iPhone 7 buzz spread quickly around Kennesaw State University as students formed their own opinions about the new device. “I just love iPhones,” said junior physical therapy major Resonna Hubert. “I really want the new one, because it’s an upgrade. Plus, the camera is so much better!” Junior nursing major Seghan Belay was not so sure about the new phone. “I think I’m just going to stick with my iPhone 6 for now,” Belay said. “My car doesn’t have Bluetooth, and I don’t like not being able to use the aux cord and charge at the same time.” Nieves, the OwlTEC employee, is a loyal Samsung user, but he still has respect for Apple as a company. “Apple’s strength is in jumping into other new markets before other companies do, whether their customer base is ready for it or not,” Nieves said. “I think they’ll continue to expand more into Bluetooth charging and other technology.” The iPhone 7 is available for purchase now, but there are currently no plans for sale of the device at OwlTEC.

GREEK LIFE
MAKES A PLEDGE TO PREVENT HAZING Kenya Simmons Staff Writer To remind students in the Greek community about the dangers of hazing, the Greek Programming Board held “These Hands Don’t Haze” on The Green Friday, Sept. 23. This past week was National Hazing Prevention Week, and the Greek organizations at Kennesaw State University took to both campuses to spread the word. “All week we have been drawing around campus with chalk, just spreading awareness about hazing and about how it doesn’t have a place in student organizations,” said Austin Trivett, a senior marketing major and Delta Tau Delta fraternity member. “These Hands Don’t Haze” was open to all students, not just members of fraternities and sororities. Participants painted their hands, placed them on a piece of paper and took an oath not to participate in hazing. Members of Greek organizations painted their hands with the corresponding colors of their organizations and signed their names next to their handprints. “I came out to the ‘These Hands Don’t Haze’ event
to support non-hazing organizations,” said Daniel Salvatore, a sophomore business major. “I wanted to put my handprint on the banner and sign my name.” The paper with all the handprints and names is for more than just this event. “When the banner is ready, it will hopefully be hung up in the student center,” said Courtney Allen, a junior early childhood education major and a member of Kappa Delta. Greek members also passed out fliers with the definition of hazing with examples. In some cases, individuals are not aware they are being hazed because they are unaware of what all falls under the umbrella of hazing. According to the MerriamWebster dictionary, hazing is “an initiation process involving harassment,” but it doesn’t necessarily have to involve an initiation. It can also be “playing unpleasant tricks on someone or forcing someone to do unpleasant things.” At KSU, accusations of hazing are not taken lightly by the administration. “Our department, as well
as the rest of the division here, has a zero-tolerance policy for hazing,” said Ryan Camon, coordinator for Fraternity and Sorority Life. “All hazing accusations are taken very seriously, and they are investigated upon notice being given to our office, and then sanctions will be passed out as they are necessary from the Student Conduct and Academic Integrity office.” Students who witness or are victims of hazing are urged to speak up. Reports can be made at the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life in the Carmichael Student Center room 253. Alternatively, students can visit the Department of Student Conduct and Academic Integrity in University Village suite 5100. “There are anonymous ways of reporting hazing,” Camon said. “If you see it and you want to identify it, students can come forward and report.” The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life can be contacted at 470-578-2838 or by email at greeklife@kennesaw.edu.

A woman makes cotton candy at the Stand Bi Me event on The Green.
CELEBRATING BI VISIBILITY DAY ON CAMPUS Sidra Khan Contributor GLBTIQ Student Programs celebrated Bi Visibility Day early on Thursday, Sept. 22, and hosted “Stand Bi Me” on The Green. “Instead of focusing on the discrimination and the things that bi people deal with, how about we celebrate for the day?” said program coordinator of GLBTIQ Student Programs Neja Coleman. “We take a spot on The Green, take up space and create more visibility for people who are bi and non-monosexual and just have a good time.” Bi Visibility Day is actually Sept. 23 and has been celebrated worldwide since 1999. The organizers of “Stand Bi Me” invited people of all sexualities to come and show their support for bisexual students. “The bi community deals with a lot of biphobia within and outside of the LGBTIQ community, so I thought that it would be a really cool opportunity,” Coleman said. “Last year we brought Robin Oaks, who is a really awesome bi-activist, to come and talk about some of the different ways we perpetuate these bias and these stereotypes against people who are bisexual.”
Students at the event tiedyed shirts and enjoyed cotton candy and music. At a “Stand Bi Me” photo booth, volunteers took pictures of participants to share online and “increase digital visibility of bisexuality,” according to Coleman. Those in attendance expressed appreciation for the purpose of the celebration. “I think it is an awesome event,” said freshman Tori Anderson. “I am bi, so it kind of helps, and I like that it’s just bringing an awareness to it. That there are people that like both genders, it isn’t just one. Also it was really fun to get messy with tie-dye.” Future events hosted by GLBTIQ Student Programs can be found on its page on Owl Life, as well as its Facebook page.

Senior outside hitter Kelly Marcinek recorded the 1,000th kill of her career, which helped rally her team in a come-frombehind win.

what I’m most proud of, is that from set two on we started competing at the level we’re capable of and made a match out of it,” head coach Keith Schunzel said in a press release Friday. The Bisons came back and won the third set 25-23. The Owls responded by battling out another tough win in the fourth period, taking it 25-22. This forced the match into a fifth set — the Achilles’ heel for Kennesaw this season. The team has lost the last three times the match entered the fifth set. Despite prior experience with the ominous fifth set, the Owls came out strong and established a 9-3 lead and looked as if they would cruise to the finish line. A rally from the Bison following a timeout, however, tied the match at 9-9.

Lipscomb committed four errors and lost momentum, helping KSU edge out a 15-13 set win and sealing the match 3-2. “That was a battle that could’ve gone either way,” Schunzel said, “but because we shifted our mentality and aggressiveness after that opening set, we put ourselves in position to pull out a huge road win to open conference play.” Anaiah Boyer who recorded a double-double with 17 kills and 15 digs and added five blocks. Boyer’s outstanding performance earned her ASUN Conference Player of the Week. The Owls will travel to Jacksonville, Florida for a pair of matches against Jacksonville University at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30 and the University of North Florida at 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1.

OWLS CAPTURE FIRST ROAD WIN OF THE SEASON Rio White Staff Writer The football team traveled to Pittsburgh Saturday to take on the Duquesne Dukes and came away with a 36-28 victory for the first road win of the season. Kennesaw State University had a bye week after defeating Point University, and the extra week of practice seemed to pay off as a number of Owls had breakout performances. On defense, red-shirt senior defensive back Dante Blackmon dominated the opposing receivers and collected three interceptions on the day, returning one for a 57-yard touchdown. Offensively, wide receiver Justin Sumpter was able to catch everything thrown his way, hauling in eight catches for 187 yards and two touchdowns. The Owls began the game
with the ball and scored quickly. Red-shirt sophomore quarterback Chandler Burks capped off a 75-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run. KSU fumbled the ball later in the quarter, and a Dukes defender returned it for a touchdown, bringing the score to 7-6 Duquesne. The Dukes then marched down the field and converted a short field goal, making the score 10-6. Just when the Owls were beginning to feel a bit of pressure defensively, Blackmon intercepted a pass at the Dukes’ 43-yard line, giving the KSU offense a second chance. A huge run by running back Chaston Bennett on a welltimed option pitch got the Owls into the red zone, setting up a field goal with 6:42 remaining in
the first half. The Dukes again applied pressure on KSU’s defense through the running game. On the first pass of the drive, however, Blackmon once again punished them, this time returning the interception 57 yards for a touchdown. With little time remaining in the half, Duquesne got the ball back and shocked the Owls by quickly scoring a touchdown, taking the lead into halftime 17-16. Burks was injured on the last offensive possession for the Owls before the half, so freshman quarterback Daniel David stepped in during the third quarter. The second half also brought Justin Sumpter into the spotlight again. On KSU’s first possession of the half, David
and Sumpter connected for a 67-yard touchdown pass to take the lead and the momentum back. Blackmon had his third interception of the game during the next Duquesne possession, but KSU was unable to capitalize on that turnover. The Dukes were able to close the gap late in the third quarter after another field goal. Early in the final quarter, the Owls scored on a 28-yard run, giving them the 29-20 advantage after a failed fake punt by the Dukes. A second touchdown connection between David and Sumpter gave the Owls a 36-20 lead and sealed the win for the Owls. “I’m so proud of the effort,” head coach Brian Bohannon said in a press release Saturday.
“This was a great team win on the road against a very, very good football team.” Offensively, Burks completed seven of 14 passes for 140 yards while David completed seven of 10 for 172 yards. Blackmon set a KSU singlegame record with three interceptions and a career high of three pass deflections. He was named College Sports Madness’ National Defensive Player of the Week and Big South Conference Defensive Player of the Week. The Owls take on Furman University at 3 p.m Saturday, Oct. 1.

SOCCER TEAM LOSES CONFERENCE OPENER TO LIPSCOMB Victor Tun Contributor
The Owls scored two goals on 13 shots against Lipscomb Saturday night.
Trey Earnest | The Sentinel
The women’s soccer team lost 3-2 in its conference opener against the Lipscomb University Bison at Fifth Third Bank Stadium Saturday, Sept. 24. Kennesaw’s Cassidy Kemp and Kim Fincher both scored for the Owls (5-5-1, 0-1-0 ASUN) but came up short in the end against a talented Lipscomb (73-1, 1-0 ASUN) squad. Both teams began the game aggressive in terms of offense. In the 10th minute, Kemp opened up the scoreboard and gave the Owls a temporary lead. Kemp has scored five goals this season, which ties her for first place as the team’s leading scorer. “She was outstanding,” head coach Benji Walton said. “She was dribbling, outrunning people, cutting back, getting some looks. She does what we ask all our forwards to do and she’s really composed with it real fast.” The lead would not last long, however, as Lipscomb would tie the match four minutes later. Both teams pushed forward, and Fincher broke the deadlock to give the Owls a 2-1 lead just before halftime.
In the second half, Lipscomb took advantage of mistakes by the Owls and scored twice to steal away the victory. “We played a great game against a very good team,” Walton said. “Our offense outshot them. We did everything we needed to win the ballgame. We gave them a couple of soft goals just because of miscommunication.” Kennesaw has lost four games this season after they have taken the lead. “We gotta quit letting mistakes hurt us. Good teams, they burn you. That has been our story so far,” Walton said. Walton insisted that this game doesn’t define the season. “There are six games left of conference, plenty of time to make your statement,” he said. “These girls aren’t giving up, and I’m not giving up.” The Owls will take on North Florida (4-4-2, 0-1-0 ASUN) in Jacksonville, Florida at 3 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30. “Everybody is excited and ready to roll,” Walton said. “We’ve got our work cut out for us.”
CROSS COUNTRY FINISHES TOP 10 IN MOUNTAIN DEW INVITATIONAL Peter Waltz Contributor and Jasmine Veasley Contributor Both cross country teams competed in the Mountain Dew Invitational on the Mark Bostick Golf Course at the University of Florida on Saturday, Sept. 29. This is the second time Kennesaw State University has participated in the Mountain Dew Invitational. The first appearance featured the men’s team finishing fifth and the
women fishing sixth back in 2014. The men’s and women’s teams both competed against schools such as Florida Gulf Coast, Jacksonville, Miami, North Florida, South Florida and Valdosta State. For the second consecutive meet, junior transfer Paul Schupp led the men’s team in the 8K race. Schupp finished
13th overall with a time of 26:30:85. The next teammate to cross the finish line was sophomore Derick Kinyanjui, who finished 29th with a time of 27:29:00. Following closely behind Kinyanjui was junior Derrick Hand, who finished 31st, posting a time of 27:35:78. Freshman Will Hasse crossed the line just eight seconds later.
Lastly, freshman Max Warner finished with a time of 29:20. The men’s team finished overall in sixth place. The Lady Owls also had a competitive race Saturday against several teams in the 5K, finishing overall in eighth place. Senior Kidan Kidane led the way for the team, finishing in 14th place with a time of 18:22.19. A minute later,
freshman Bonnie McKinnon placed 36th and finished with a time of 19:23.92. Just a second after her, sophomore Caitlyn Farrell took 37th place. Finishing in 54th with a time of 19:53.51 was freshman Kaitlyn Franklin. Both KSU teams will head to Spartanburg for the Upstate Classic, hosted by the University of South Carolina Upstate at 9 a.m Saturday, Oct. 1.

DO YOUR
RESEARCH
Luke Gardner Staff Writer Within the next few years, most of us on campus today will prepare to enter the workforce. Just like the generation before us, we are expected to use our education to move the world in a more stable direction toward peace, equality and sustainability. However, I believe many companies are pushing us back because they seem to be overly concerned with turning a profit. I feel that many corporations value their profits above ethical practices. Because of this, I believe college students have a responsibility to research more than just the salary and benefits of a potential job — we should research a company’s business practices to see if they align with our own values. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy defines business ethics as “the applied ethics discipline that addresses the moral features of commercial activity.” My advice is to strive to make sure the business you create, or the one you work for, seeks to make the world around us a better place. I believe business majors at Kennesaw State University have an opportunity to support the companies that are actively working to make the world a better place. They can promote environmental sustainability and human rights by simply getting an internship. “Students are expected to find their own internships,” said Kathleen Hallmark, career and internship adviser for Kennesaw State University’s Coles College of Business. When I asked Hallmark which companies she considered ethical, she said that many have fallen to the wayside. She also explained that an important
OPINION OWL YAKS KENNESAW STATE UNIVERSITY | THE SENTINEL | SEPT. 27 2016
ON INTERNSHIPS aspect of an ethical company is whether it places more value on employee benefits than profit. “If these workers weren’t in place, you wouldn’t have a company,” she said. There are some laws and agreements between nations that can encourage companies to partake in unethical practices. “Various international trade agreements that large corporations are able to strongly lobby favorable conditions in, are often designed in part to make resources (including work forces) cheaper,” wrote Anup Shah on globalissues.org. These types of international trade laws allow large corporations to take advantage of cheap labor overseas, where workers can make the products for poverty wages. Companies who want to increase their profits may choose to manufacture their products in places like Pakistan, where the minimum wage in U.S. dollars is about 4 cents an hour, according to Pakistan’s Ministry of Finance. According to CNN, over 97 percent of clothing we buy here in the U.S. is made outside the country. Unfortunately, similar breaches of ethics are surprisingly common. Some companies use animal testing, where potentially dangerous products are applied to animals in laboratories. Not only is animal testing cruel to the animals, but it does not always produce the most accurate results. “Many [products] don’t pass the animal tests because of species-specific results,” The Huffington Post said in an article, “yet many of these
agents would likely have worked spectacularly and been safe in humans.” Aside from animal testing and using cheap labor, many factories contribute to pollution of the environment through oil spills, carbon emissions and chemical runoff. Despite the horrible environmental and health impacts of these byproducts, many corporations turn a blind eye to in order to increase profit margins. Recently an oil spill has plagued the Great Australian Bight marine park. According to The Guardian, thousands of personnel were sent to attempt to contain the disaster. Pollution, in the end, puts a burden on society’s shoulders. It’s costly and detrimental. Pollution, animal testing and the use of cheap labor are just a small number of ways businesses cause damage while attempting to increase their profits. Some businesses are heavily criticized for paying their employees the bare minimum, denying them health benefits while increasing CEO salaries and discriminating against people of color, LGBT people and women. Don’t be dismayed. There are some companies that choose to do the best they can to respect the rights of their workers, animals, the environment and the general population. These are the companies I encourage you to consider when looking for internships or jobs after college. Investigate a company’s ethical values and choose to work with corporations that care.

OPINION

WHO’S FIT FOR
PRESIDENT?
?
?
Kaitlyn Lewis Opinion Editor When it comes to selecting a new president for Kennesaw State University, I believe authorities should consider the candidate’s political bias and how it can affect our education here. In June, former KSU President Dan Papp retired, and Houston Davis took over as interim president. The University System of Georgia has not begun an active search for a new permanent president, but rumors have circulated for months that Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens could take over. Though the rumors have not been confirmed, Olens’ previous role as a Republican commissioner in Cobb County raises questions of putting a politician at the helm. Some faculty members have written letters to the
Board of Regents — which has the power to appoint a new president — asking for an active search to begin, according to the Atlanta JournalConstitution. Olens’ political background has its support and opposition. “Those who support an Olens takeover argue that putting a politically-connected Republican atop the school’s hierarchy would help Kennesaw State secure more state funding and restore confidence in campus leadership,” wrote AJC political reporter Greg Bluestein. However, according to the AJC, the faculty members who wrote letters “worry that a political appointment could set an unsettling precedent on campus.” From what I have seen, KSU has not shied away from hiring politicians in the past. In fact,
we have embraced many conservative conversations on campus by hosting town halls for Republican speakers and politicians. In the fall of 2015, former Republican congressman Bob Barr taught a special topics course on the Constitution. According to the university’s website, he also taught courses on private and public policy at KSU in 2008, 2009 and 2013. Earlier that year in April, conservative commentator Ann Coulter spoke in the Bailey Performance Center. In February of this year, Ohio Gov. John Kasich hosted a town hall in the student center when he was still running in the 2016 presidential election as a Republican candidate. The most recent example is Newt Gingrich’s town hall, which he held in the student center on Sept. 12 this year.
GOOD GRADES
AREN’T
Gingrich spoke on behalf of Donald Trump’s campaign. Out of all my years at KSU, I have never heard of a Democrat politician hosting a town hall. From what I can remember, only Republicans have been given that platform. I don’t believe that the majority of the KSU student and faculty body is Republican — I think we are generally split down the middle. Regardless, I would appreciate a more balanced conversation about politics on campus. Students get tired of hearing the same rhetoric over and over. If the Board of Regents is going to begin searching for a new president, I think it would be wise to consider a candidate with less political involvement and one who is open to a balanced discussion on campus.

WORTH THE STRESS
Elizabeth Nouryeh Staff Writer Left with stress and dishonest temptations, college students are feeling more pressure than ever to achieve perfect grades. In a 2015 study conducted by the Princeton Review, 90 percent of students reported that they feel good grades are important, while the remaining 10 percent said they care about learning. From this statistic alone, it seems clear that grades are becoming far more important than learning the material. Fifty percent of these students also said that they are under pressure from their parents to receive top marks. Often times, the desire to earn good grades feels like an endless loop from which we
cannot escape. It can feel as if our future depends on one grade, and if we fail that one exam, we fail the class. If we fail the class, we get behind. When we get behind, we panic. I have had several thought processes similar to this, but it is important to remember that a letter does not determine your value as a person. That endless pressure of grades can lead to severe stress, depression and cheating. The Associated Press polled students, and 80 percent said they feel daily stress while another 34 percent have experienced depression as a result. Students are often under financial and social stress on
top of academic stress. Barbra Palmer of Stanford News spoke with lecturer Denise Clark Pope. “Pressure by parents and schools to achieve top scores has created stress levels among students — beginning as early as elementary school — that are so high that some educators regard it as a health epidemic,” Pope said. More often than we would like to think, students succumb to the pressure and cheat. Pope and Palmer linked cheating to “the social pressure put on students to prize high grades over education and other values, including creativity and imagination.” A Kennesaw State University student is currently under
investigation for hacking Owl Express to change grades for himself and four classmates. While there was no motive or explanation reported as of Monday, his alleged actions can start a dialogue. With the high pressure of maintaining grades and GPAs, it is obvious why some students may choose to go down that path, unfortunately. Professors and students should encourage one another to focus more on truly learning the material, rather than just memorizing for the next exam. Once less emphasis is placed on the number, more emphasis can be placed on gaining legitimate knowledge.
