Borofsky resigns as interim provost By Erin Snodgrass and Sidney Holmes esnodgr@my.loyno.edu, smholmes@my.loyno. edu @erinsnod, @ sidneymajee

David Borofsky unexpectedly resigned from his positions as interim provost and chief operating officer at Loyola. Laura Frerichs, vice president of marketing and communications, said it is the university’s policy not to comment on personnel issues. However, Frerichs did say that the board of trustees was surprised by his resignation. “We are disappointed because he did some very great work at Loyola and was well respected. But, ultimately, we have to respect his decision and protect his confidentiality,” Frerichs said.

He left before his contract was slated to end. Borofsky began at Loyola a year ago, in April of 2017, and was promoted to chief operating officer in December, in addition to his role as interim provost. Borofsky also chose not to comment. “He had been recognized for his contributions,” Frerichs said. “Paul Pastorek, in recognition of his (Borofsky’s) updated leadership and progress, actually made the recommendation, and the board accepted, of the promotion of David to chief operating officer,” Frerichs said. University President, the Rev. Kevin Wildes, S.J., made the announcement of Borofsky's resignation in an email sent to faculty and staff on Wednesday morning. Wildes said that the board of trustees made

the decision to accept Borofsky's resignation yesterday. Wildes also sent an email to students announcing the resignation later in the day. Wildes said that the board of trustees will appoint a new interim provost soon. The search has begun, and the university is already having conversations with candidates, according to Frerichs. She also said that finding Borofsky’s temporary replacement is a top priority. “Obviously, it is our desire to be able to hire someone within the community,” Frerichs said. “It is important and preferable to have someone who knows Loyola well.” According to Wildes, Borofsky will return to The Registry, an organization that helps fill interim executive positions at universities. "While this announcement comes as a surprise, we are confi-

dent that the board will select as our next interim provost a trusted leader who will lead us toward the goals the university needs to accomplish," Wildes said in the email. Board of trustees member Paul Pastorek will take leave of the board to serve as acting chief operating officer. Pastorek will lead the implementation of Project Magis, Loyola's financial stability plan. Frerichs said Pastorek is dedicated to seeing things through and providing oversight to the board. Although there is no definite time frame for his term in the position, Frerichs said she doesn’t believe Pastorek will serve after the 2018-2019 academic year. Once the next interim provost is chosen, he or she will report to Pastorek as acting chief operating officer.

Blue Bikes benefit riders around New Orleans By Sidney Holmes smholmes@my.loyno.edu @sidneymajee

New Orleans is making strides in city transportation and is now helping members of the community get around with bike transportation. The City of New Orleans partnered with Social Bicycles, Inc. to launch the bike-sharing program Blue Bikes late last year. Bike sharing allows people to rent bikes for a period of time, and Blue Bikes offers different subscription plans for users. The bikes can be rented for $8 per hour or $15 per month. They also offer a reduced-fare option that is based on

income for $20 per year. Mid-City resident Esteban Largaespada has been riding the bikes since the launch. “I could have gone out and bought a really crappy bike that I wouldn’t mind losing or getting stolen. Instead I signed up for these,” Largaespada said. He said he that he rides a Blue Bike for at least an hour a day to get the most out of his monthly subscription. “It entices you to do it because it’s kind of like a gym membership. I already paid for it monthly, so I kind of feel bad if I don’t go a day without using it,” Largaespada said. The bikes can be found all around

Blue Bikes sit outside the Contemporary Arts Center on Camp Street on April 11. Blue Bikes can be rented across the city. CRISTIAN ORELLANA/The Maroon.

After serving as the head coach for Loyola's track and field and cross country programs for two years, Nick Dodson has been hired as the Southeastern University track and field head coach, as reported by The Sun Conference. Southeastern competes in The Sun Conference, a conference that's a part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. "I was shocked," mass communication junior Leah Banks said when she heard the news of her coach leaving. "I was saddened to hear about him leaving, but it was definitely for a good reason and I knew that it would be in his best benefit." Dodson leaves Loyola after achieving remarkable success in his short tenure, specifically with Banks and the women's team. Dodson led the women's track and field team to a second-place finish at the Southern States Athletic Conference while the men's team came in fourth. He also coached Banks to become the school's first All-American after she placed seventh in the heptathlon at the NAIA National Championships. "He turned this entire program around," Banks said. "Before he got here, the program was filled with a lot of questions and a lot of negativity. He brought positivity, team unity, and a fire that this program truly needed." She will greatly miss the impact Dodson had on her career but will not take his lessons for granted. "As for my career, he's made it insightful and truly a positive ride," Dodson said. "He's helped me accomplish something that seemed so far away in my freshman year, and I'm truly thankful for that." Dodson will help kickstart Southeastern University's first ever track and field team. However, the future of the Loyola program is still bright. "We've come a long way, and I can only hope that those who are new to the program, or even a year or two in, (to) continue to stick with it and strive for greatness. We have some great freshman coming in next year as well, so I'm hopeful and very optimistic in the coming years," Banks said. Dodson will move to Lakeland, Florida later this month.

Dance Marathon sets fundraising record By Catie Sanders casande2@my.loyno.edu

It only takes two to tango but raising over $27,000 for charity takes a whole school. Loyola’s third annual Dance Marathon, hosted by the Student Government Association, raised a total of $27,347.57 for Children’s Hospital of New Orleans. The event took place Saturday, April 7 through students who danced from 6 p.m. to 12 a.m. in the University Sports Complex. Last year, Dance Marathon raised over $20,000 for the organization, greatly exceeding the set goal of $10,000. Following the success of last year’s fundraiser, SGA increased the goal to $30,000. Although the dancing is over, fundraising efforts will continue until April 14. Participants could dance individually or as part of one of Loyola’s many student and Greek life organizations. Johnathan Baudoin is a member of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, which was one of the top fundraising teams. Baudoin said the best part of Dance Marathon was “having fun while doing it for a great cause and helping children.” The fundraising goal may have changed, but the rules of Dance Marathon stayed the same. There was no sitting allowed. Loyola bands Colorblock, Lip Candy and DAVESTATEOFMIND provided live music, and Zumba, salsa and swing dancing classes were held throughout the night to help participants with two left feet keep grooving toward the goal. Students were able to take swing

dancing lessons, participate in games and win raffle prizes. The Children’s Hospital treats 66,438 children a year, according to Blane Mader, SGA vice president. “My favorite part about this whole experience was being able to go to Children’s Hospital and meet some of the amazing children who benefit directly from the money we raised” said Mader, who was in

charge of organizing of the event. “Two of those kids, Avery and Adam, actually came to the event, so to see them smiling and dancing the night away with us just solidifies the fact that everything we do, we do for the kids.” Anderson Leal, director of outreach for the marathon, is a member of Hispanic Music Appreciation, which placed among the top fund-

raising teams. Leal said Dance Marathon helps strengthen the Loyola community. “It’s a way to bring our community together and really give service. That’s what all our core Jesuit values are and this is a great example of what we do at Loyola,” Leal said.

Todd Warren hired as new director of University Police By Andrew Lang awlang@my.loyno.edu

Loyola has hired Todd Warren as the new director of the Loyola University Police Department. Warren started his new role on April 3, replacing Patrick Bailey, former chief of university police, who retired last year. Warren views the department as a safeguard for the campus. “I see us much more as a protecting force rather than an enforcement force,” he said. “I think we are here to protect our community from the criminal elements of the outside. It is much more of our goal than policing our own so much. Now sometimes we have to protect our self from our self, and we will certainly do that.” Originally from Texarkana, Texas, Warren has experience in the field. Warren worked as chief of police at Texarkana College, as well as chief of police for the Texarkana school district police. Warren also worked as criminal and internal affairs detective for the Texas prison system. Warren first started as a patrol and SWAT officer in Texarkana. He previously served as director of public safety at Spring Hill College for seven years where he faced challenges that he won’t have to deal with at Loyola. “One thing that’s going to be nice with this department is I don’t have to build it, and I can take what’s already built and expand on

(it), whereas, actually, the last two departments I’ve built from the ground up, so I don’t have to deal with all that,” he said. Warren hasn’t decided on any major changes yet. “I’m in the looking stage. So I don’t know a whole lot of the changes that I’ll be making, but the goals that I always have are professionalism and public service,” he said. Warren has noticed some positives at Loyola so far. “I see Captain (Roger) Pinac has done a great job holding things together,” he said. “I see some really good emergency preparedness activities at that the university and hope to be able to participate and build those. The officers involved have been welcoming, very nice, so I look forward to working with them.” The Campus Climate Assessment’s results revealed that 6 percent of all respondents had experienced unwanted sexual contact and of those who were students, only 19 percent contacted a university resource. In response, Warren hopes to build trust within the community. He stated he helped Spring Hill College improve their process for dealing with cases of sexual assault and hopes to do the same at Loyola. “I was very instrumental in redesigning our sexual assault reporting and investigation processes over there to make the procedure more victim oriented, more friendly, more comfortable,” Warren said. “I certainly want to get on top of that im-

Loyola’s residency halls will soon become a lot more eco-friendly. This year, Loyola became one of the 50 schools, universities, government agencies and other community organizations that Keep America Beautiful awarded the 2017 Coca-Cola Public Space Recycling Grant. Keep America Beautiful, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting environmental sustainability, awarded Loyola over $5,000, which equates to 30 recycling bins. These bins will be placed on every floor of every residence hall Friday, April 20, according to Abigail Justice, Student Government Association chief of staff. One of SGA President Ben Weil and Vice President Blane Mader’s six initiatives, titled “Maroon, Gold and Green,” aimed to put more recycling bins on Loyola’s campus over the course of the next five years. This grant allowed SGA to expedite that process and fulfill this initiative within the year, according to Justice. “More than anything, I think just being able to provide students access to these recycling bins, as well as education, is what’s going to have a greater impact, as students will become more a part of the campus’s environmentally friendly culture,” Justice said. SGA will also host an informational event on the proper way to recycle on Thursday, April 19 in the Peace Quad during the window. This event is geared towards helping students better understand what can and cannot go into recycling bins, as this initiative is only effective if the student body is educated on how to recycle, according to Justice. “You can’t have caps on your water bottles. You have to recycle them without the caps, and a lot of people just have no clue about that,”Mader said. Carolyn Ives, environmental studies senior, said that the new recycling bins will go a long way in inspiring a greener culture at Loyola. “They definitely make you more conscious, like ‘I should be thinking about this and considering my impact,’” Ives said. “And it all starts with these little things, like putting more recycling bins all over campus, and from there, we can do bigger things with that.”

mediately because I want anyone to feel comfortable coming to us.” Warren cites his family as his inspiration for how he wants the police force to operate. He also said he and his family are looking forward to exploring New Orleans. “We’re new to New Orleans so we’re excited about all the sites that New Orleans has to offer,” Warren said. When he’s not working, Warren enjoys hunting, fishing and spend-

ing time with his family as well as going out on his boat. Warren said he made sure to find a place on the water in order to enjoy his boat “Especially for our traditional students, I try to police from a standpoint of what would I want from my children, my students, my kids. How would I want them treated and taken care of, so we look to support our students however we can,” he said.

Loyola students will host the 10th annual Student Peace Conference this week. The events include speakers, interactive lectures, panel discussions and student presentations. The events are an opportunity for students and visitors to further community discussions about hope, renewal and global peace, according to the Loyola website. This year’s conference is titled “Breaking Walls,” and is expected to be the most attended conference in the school’s history. Events run through Tuesday, April 17.

WORLDVIEW Cont.’d: Blue Bikes share with community

April 13, 2018 The Maroon

BLUE BIKES, continued from page 1 New Orleans, from the Bywater to Mid-City to the Lower Garden District. When the bike program started Dec. 5, 2017, there were 15 hubs and 150 bikes around the city. Now there are 60 hubs and 600 bikes available for use. Destinie Hammond, Blue Bikes outreach coordinator, said that the program encourages New Orleanians to be more active. “We want to make the city more accessible to more of a variety of people; we want to connect the historic neighborhoods in a way they have never been connected before, and overall make the city healthier,” Hammond said. Largaespada said that the bikes come in handy for people who don’t want to own a bike. “I think the Blue Bikes are a way to not necessarily commit,” he said. “It’s a way for to not necessarily have to be ‘bike people’ but use bikes.” Hammond said that their ultimate goal is to eventually have 90 hubs and 900 Blue Bikes for New Orleanians to use. “We’re looking for more ways to

Title IX issues revealed with Climate Assessment By Tyler Wann wtwann@my.loyno.edu

Loyola’s recently released Campus Climate Assessment revealed that 16 percent of survey respondents had experienced unwanted sexual contact or conduct. These results have brought issues of sexual assault and harassment to the forefront of campus discussions. Title IX Deputy Director Diana Ward plans to use the information discovered from the survey to ensure that Loyola as a community is better prepared to deal with Title IX related issues. Title IX federally prohibits discrimination by educational institutions based on sex. Ward said that the results will help the university plan more targeted approaches to preventing

instances of sexual assault and harassment. “The results highlighted that most students, particularly firstyear students, will tell a friend if they experience unwanted sexual contact. This tells us that we need to work to expand bystander intervention programming,” Ward said. Ward stated that the University Counseling Center is leading Sexual Assault Response Trainings, an initiative that is aimed at helping both students and faculty alike learn to prevent and cope with instances of sexual assault on campus. Ward also revealed that the university plans to open up Title IX training to a wider set of students. Whereas in the past training seminars have been held for Greek life

and athletics teams as a whole, seminars will now be given to each individual chapter as well as individual athletic teams and other student organizations. “Sixteen percent is consistent with other Higher Educational findings, but it is still too many. Loyola students are not percentage numbers,” Ward said. Ward believes that prevention needs to be a group effort by the entire Loyola community. “We all have a role to play not only to help lower how many Loyola students experience unwanted sexual contact but also to help change the underlying culture. Together, we can make this campus safer,” said Ward.

Past, present and future mayors of New Orleans discuss city By Nick Reimann nsreiman@my.loyno.edu @nicksreimann

Though he had been told so before, Mitch Landrieu learned after he was elected mayor that it was true — you inherit all the potholes. Landrieu shared that experience to Mayor-elect LaToya Cantrell as mayors spanning over six decades of New Orleans history met in Roussel Hall for the annual Ed Renwick Lecture Series on April 5, discussing highlights of the job and passing along experience to Cantrell as she prepares to take office next month. Landrieu and Cantrell were joined by former mayors Sidney Barthelemy, who served from 19861994 and Mitch Landrieu’s father, Moon Landrieu, who was mayor from 1970 to 1978. Former mayor Marc Morial was

scheduled to attend but ended up canceling after a last-minute change of plans. Most of the questions by moderator Clancy DuBos centered toward the current mayor and the two previous, followed by a look forward on the topic by Cantrell. On the issue of what to expect of the job, Mitch Landrieu laid out a simple yet blunt reality for his successor. “I really think the job of being mayor of a major American city is just as tough and just as immediate as any other job [in politics],” he said. The others agreed, with Moon Landrieu saying the job is a major step up from the City Council and Barthelemy saying it’s a job so difficult he thinks it rivals the stresses of the Oval Office. While questions like that were how most of the evening went, both

Landrieu and Cantrell were pushed on a question relating to current policy — how to fix the Sewerage and Water Board. The fact that even such a serious question was asked drew awes and whispers from the crowd. Mitch Landrieu responded that failures happened, but that it’s a very complicated issue. He said the failures were a result of lack of revenue, which combined with machinery not up to date, led to the flooding incidents seen in the city recently. Mitch Landrieu said his new appointments have strengthened the S&WB, though, putting it on the right track. Cantrell said the S&WB needs to be inspected further, though, particularly on the financial side, where she said there needs to be a CFO for the organization.

Another major topic of the night — one all mayors contributed to — was the issue of race in New Orleans, with Moon Landrieu able to bring the issue all the way back to when he worked to integrate City Hall while he was mayor. Mitch Landrieu said he’s seen some try to push back to a time before the work of his father after the removal of the Confederate monuments, saying he saw his support among whites drop directly because of the removal, and that it “scratched something deeper.” Cantrell agreed, saying serious racial issues exist in New Orleans because there’s a lack of opportunity for black people in the city even though that’s over 60 percent of the population. “We are not going to get better if the largest population in the city is at the bottom,” she said.

A federal appeals court will be asked to take a second look at a judge’s ruling that led to freedom last year for a man who spent 36-years in prison for a French Quarter murder, New Orleans District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro said Monday. John Floyd, who has long maintained his innocence, was released in June after U.S. District Judge Sarah Vance said he must be freed or re-tried in the 1980 stabbing death of William Hines. On Friday a panel of the 5th U.S Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Vance. But the vote was 2-1 and District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro said Monday that he will ask the appeals court to re-hear the case. “While we believe this defendant may be rehabilitated, we also believe he was responsible for the murder of William Hines in 1980,” Cannizzaro’s emailed statement said. Prosecutors have not objected to Floyd’s release during appeals. But they have said Vance’s ruling was erroneous and would set bad legal precedents regarding the strength of evidence needed to overcome time limits on appeals. Even if the 5th Circuit were to rehear the case and overturn Vance, it’s not clear prosecutors will seek to imprison Floyd again. The court record notes that he had been offered plea deals in the past. “We will decide that issue if and when it becomes relevant, but it is not relevant at this time,” Cannizzaro said in an email sent via his press office. Floyd, whose case was handled by the Innocence Project New Orleans, confessed to two similar murders that happened days apart. The victims, Hines and businessman Rodney Robinson, were killed after apparently sharing a drink and having consensual sex with their attacker, according to the court record. Floyd later said he had been coerced into confessing by a detective who plied him with drinks and beat him. A judge acquitted Floyd of Robinson’s murder, but convicted him in Hines’ death. Among points noted in Vance’s ruling: police had early on suspected one killer committed both crimes; physical evidence indicated that a black man with a different blood type than Floyd, who is white, had killed Robinson; that a black man’s hair was recovered from the Hines murder scene. The credibility of Floyd’s confession in the Hines case was further undermined by new evidence of his limited mental capacity, she wrote. Vance also said that evidence the defense could have used was withheld, including fingerprints from a whiskey bottle at the Hines crime scene that were made by someone other than Floyd or Hines. Judges Rhesa Hawkins Barksdale and Stephen Higginson upheld Vance in Friday’s ruling. Judge Jerry E. Smith dissented with an opinion discounting the importance of the evidence and arguing that the other panel members were misapplying the law. None of the evidence cited was strong enough to overturn the judge’s verdict or the Louisiana Supreme Court’s ruling upholding it, he said.

The Darelilies offer an authentic student-musician sound By Kaylie Saidin kesaidin@my.loyno.edu

Loyola’s music department is home to many student musicians who are paving the way in their genres and in the local scene. The Darelilies, a group of music industry students, is the latest of these bands to gain traction. With Ella Blue Paskel on vocals, Ben McLaughlin on guitar, Rhys Steuart on bass and Kevin Appelson on drums, the group has been performing their soul-rock music at local venues and house shows during the past school year. The band met in their music industry ensemble class, which Paskel described as “basically ‘School of Rock,’ but in college.” “I immediately texted Kevin after and I was like, ‘we need to start a band called the Darelilies.’ And he was like, ‘I don’t know what that is, but let’s do it,’” Paskel said. “I felt like we were all on the same page

with what we wanted to do musically.” The musical project was born at the end of last summer out of Paskel’s love of the Grateful Dead and inspiration from her father. “I had been watching the ‘Long Strange Trip’ Grateful Dead docuseries on Amazon with my Dad. We were talking in the pool and I was like, ‘Wow, this has been such an inspiration. I want to carry on that legacy as much as I can. Not even the Dead’s, but I want to contribute to the feeling they gave people.’ And (my dad) said, ‘Well, you need a band name, you can’t just be Ella Blue’. And then I took a lap, and bopped my head up, and his face was white. And he went, ‘I got it. You’re a Darelily.’ I was like, ‘what is that?’ And he said: ‘You’re the most vulnerable person I’ve ever met, but you’re not afraid of it at all.’ That’s exactly what I am and what I want for this. I just want everyone to see everything, but I’m not afraid of

that,” Paskel said. When she expressed her desire to start a band, they were all in agreement. “I wanted to play,” Steuart said. “I’m a Dead fan.” Since forming, The Darelilies have performed at local New Orleans venues like Gasa Gasa, the Bon Temps Roule, and the Howlin’ Wolf. The group takes inspiration from both their individual favorite artists, ranging from Janis Joplin to James Jamerson, as well as New Orleans musical genres and elements. “You take influence from people you go see play live. I may not implement the New Orleans style in all my music, but I definitely look to them for inspiration in sounds and new ideas and for what people are liking and what’s pushing the border and what’s drawing the interest,” Appelson said. Appelson was particularly driven by New Orleans genres to pursue a future in drumming.

“It was only recently that I decided I was going to pursue drums as a career. I went to a Tank and the Bangas show with my roommate at the time, and I remember watching the drummer and thinking, ‘I could get some of these licks. He’s way better than me, but if I hacked at it, I could do it.’ And then I realized that’s what I wanted to do with my life,” Appelson said. Steuart’s bass playing also takes inspiration from New Orleans music. “I know for me a lot of the music I do like - like Lee Dorsey, the Meters, Allen Toussaint, George Porter Jr – a lot of that songwriting, that New Orleans old school sound, that second line beat. It’s really cool. It’s got a really good vibe. I feel like our stuff kind of fits in that structure of songwriting,” Steuart said. Additionally, the group is surrounded by the musical community at Loyola, allowing them to take inspiration from their peers.

“It’s fun, I like to see what everyone’s doing,” Appelson said. The Darelilies described their sound as expressing the natural and personal nature of their music. “We were once told we sounded ‘organic’. And I love using that word for what we do. Organic rock,” Paskel said. “You could say it’s mineral,” McLaughlin said. “It’s almost jam, but then we’ve got some country stuff, and some old soul, and some Motown,” Steuart said. “We’ll have to take a whole collection of listeners and see what they say. Different nouns, different adjectives. See what we are. That’s the best way to figure it out. We’re just playing. We all like to play.” The Darelilies’ next performance will be April 13 in the Peace Quad as part of Loyola’s Earth Week celebration.

Freret Street Festival signals the start of festival season By Caleb Beck cmbeck@loyno.edu

Locals feared heavy rain would wash out the Freret Street Festival but were pleasantly surprised when the event went on without a hitch. On Saturday, April 7, Freret Street was closed down from Valmont Street to Napoleon Avenue to make way for the bustle of 200 vendors, 17 music acts, over three stages and thousands of locals. With dark clouds overhead, the festival had everything from delicious food, like whole watermelons, snow cones and fresh-baked sourdough bread, to the vibrant performances of the Mardi Gras Indians.

Rhys Steuart, music industry senior, came to the festival with a local’s ball python draped around his neck. He said that the festival perfectly followed New Orleans festival protocol. “The combination of music, art and crowds feels like spring has started in the city,” Steuart said. On the other side of the street, at the Oschner Baptist Stage, Capoeira New Orleans was in full swing, and young students presented the Brazilian martial arts to a sea of onlookers, backed by traditional instruments. Coordinator Colleen McLellan said that seeing Capoeira in the streets was as entertaining for her

students as it was for the crowd. “We didn’t expect so many people to dance with us like they did. Small festivals bring such a freewheeling environment for us to share our craft,” McLellan said. Freret Street Festival has been an April event for 20 years, even when the economy and appearance of the street has changed considerably. Michael Dax, who has lived off of Freret Street for 10 years, said the festival is a constant he looks forward to. “The way the street pops in April compared to its sleepy neighborhood winter is the first sign for me, along with the jasmine, that festival season is in full swing,” Dax said.

Baseball players share a bond on the diamond

For four Loyola baseball players, the sport has kept them together from their humble beginnings at Holy Cross School to their first year in college at Loyola. Business freshman Trace Messina III, business freshman Cole Nalesnik, psychology freshman Brenden Taravella, and business management freshman Michael Toscano, all attended Holy Cross School, a local New Orleans high school. During their time in high school, all four players represented the Tigers on the diamond and played for the varsity baseball team.

They formed a deep bond and shared many experiences of joy, laughter and tears during their time on the team. “We were much more than a group of friends,” Nalesnik said. “We were a family.” The camaraderie between the four players did not stop once they received their high school diplomas, but strengthened once they started wearing maroon and gold on the baseball diamond. “Having guys that you grew up with by your side 24/7 helps a lot,” Nalesnik said. Nalesnik said attending college with his friends has given them all the ability to support each other in unique ways. “Over the years, we have all

learned each others’ strengths and weaknesses, and we use it to our advantage,” Nalesnik said. “If we are struggling in a subject, we can always turn to one another for the help and guidance that we need.” Being in the constant presence of each other has provided them with the opportunity to become even better friends and players. “After countless hours of baseball and long bus rides, our bonds have grown closer,” Toscano said. “It has sure been a change but for the good.” Nalesnik said they enjoy playing for Loyola’s baseball team, and it has not only allowed them to progress in the sport, but it has let them follow their dreams.

“My dream was to play college ball one day and Loyola gave me the chance to fulfill that dream,” Nalesnik said. “I will never be able to thank coach Faust and the others enough for giving me this opportunity to not only play baseball but to also represent my hometown,” he said. Nalesnik and Toscano plan to bring passion and energy to Loyola’s baseball team. “It is that feeling you get when you leave class and realize you now have practice,” Nalesnik said. “It is the thing that drives you to not only be the best player you can be, but also the best teammate.” Toscano said he plans to bring the accountability, relentlessness, toughness and positivity he learned

Brett Simpson develops winning culture at Loyola By Sam Lucio salucio2@my.loyno.edu @_samlucio

Whether it’s being a star player on the baseball field or Loyola’s director of athletics, Brett Simpson has consistently elevated Loyola’s athletics department. His heart stayed with his alma mater as he devoted his career to help cultivate a sports culture and further develop the athletics program at Loyola. Simpson, A’96, was a mass communication major during his student years at Loyola. During his playing days, Simpson broke numerous records that still stand to this day. He earned four letters and was co-captain in the 1995 and 1996 seasons. Simpson was also the starting left-fielder for the first Loyola baseball team to reach post-season play since the reinstatement of athletics back in 1991. Simpson said that his time as a student at Loyola was an experience he will always be grateful for. “Loyola allowed me to fulfill my dream of playing college sports while earning a degree at a great institution and to grow as a person in the Jesuit tradition,” Simpson said. After getting his diploma, Simpson’s involvement in Loyola athletics did not stop. Just three years

after graduating, Simpson served as the assistant athletic director from 1999 until 2005. He took on marketing and media relations responsibilities and was instrumental in adding Wolf Pack tennis and golf teams to the department. Simpson was one of the staff responsible for turning a program of 78 athletes in 2007 into a department of over 150 by 2014. The ball did not stop there for Simpson as he took the director of athletics position in 2014 after Michael Giorlando retired after 10 years of service. As the leader of Loyola athletics, Simpson made the overall student-athlete experience one of his main goals. “I hope it is a place where (student-athletes) have a similar experience to my own,” Simpson said. Under his reign, the number of Loyola sports teams has increased from 14 to 18, with over 200 athletes representing the Wolf Pack. Simpson plans to increase this number to 300 by 2020. Simpson has also spearheaded renovations to the University Sports Complex facility’s bleachers, game court, weight room, offices and meeting space. Overall, Loyola’s teams have become more successful during Simpson’s time as director of athletics. Loyola sits at a record-high standing for the Learfield Cup, an award

at Holy Cross School to the Loyola diamond. Toscano said that these values are, “something that our program preached and lived by.” “The guys and I are excited to be here and have main goals of leaving Loyola with a positive impact,” Toscano said. These four players plan to make big waves on the Loyola baseball team. They also are excited and grateful to still be playing together after all these years. “Playing here at Loyola with guys I went to high school with is something special,” Toscano said. “It is an opportunity that not most get and I am excited to make the most of it.”

Tennis teams play in front of Wolf Pack fans By Andres Fuentes aafuente@my.loyno.edu @af_nola

which measures each school’s performance at the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics National championships. Every team competing in the national tournament receives points based on their placement. Loyola is currently No. 49 in the Learfield Cup rankings after a stellar winter season and looks to improve on their ranking after the spring season. Simpson also said that Loyola’s student-athletes are on pace to have their highest GPA in 10 years. According to Simpson, major renovations to the University Sports

Complex are in the talks. The next phase of renovations includes a new media signage tower, metal mesh screening at parking garage bays and exterior windows for more natural light inside of the complex. Simpson said he believes that it is an exciting time to be around Wolf Pack athletics and that he hopes it can be something the entire Loyola community can rally around. “We’re working to position ourselves to take advantage of any opportunity that may arise to improve our department and the institution,” Simpson said.

With the Loyola Student Government Association sponsoring bus rides for students, over 20 Loyola fans were in attendance for both tennis teams facing off against the University of Mobile. Benjamin Weil, Student Government Association President, was impressed with the Wolf Pack support. “Turnout was good,” he said. “Had about 20 students, which is the most at a tennis game- but hopefully grows much bigger.” The men’s team lost 8-1 to the No. 7 ranked team in the nation, while the women’s team fell in a close match up 5-4. Margret Adams, and pre-med sophomore, Nadja Ochsner racked up a doubles win. Ochsner, Arianna Pepper, finance sophomore, and Gabrielle Terranova, bio-chemistry freshman, each earned a singles win. The men’s team now has a record of 11-6 and a conference record of 4-3 while the women’s team has a record of 10-7 and a 2-4 conference record.

Borofsky had us on the right track, let’s not stop now We knew it was coming. We just didn’t think it would be so soon. That’s the reaction campus had to the shocking news that Interim Provost David Borofsky resigned, meaning we can add “search for provost” to “search for president” on the university’s to-do list. The immediacy and total surprise of Borofsky’s departure will do nothing to ease concerns of the faculty, with 64 percent saying they’d looked at leaving Loyola in the past year and many calling the university a “sinking ship.” If anything, Borofsky was the one person that seemed capable of guiding that ship to safety, the one person with the knowledge and the will to not just let it go underwater. Hopefully the crew learned from the captain that’s just jumped overboard. For the sake of this university, we hope they have, because what Borofsky did for Loyola cannot be overstated. When he arrived one year ago (almost to the day) the university was on the brink of financial ruin. But in just a matter of months, Borofsky radically changed the direction Loyola was headed in, making cuts across the board and following the plan of Project Magis that’s supposed to make the university — finally — financially stable by 2019. Now, these were tough decisions Borofsky made … and the right de-

cisions. That doesn’t mean everyone liked them. But that didn’t matter to Borofsky, nor did it have any business being part of his mindset. It also doesn’t have any business being on the mind of his replacement. Borofsky was brought in to fix things. We didn’t hire him to make friends. But, as it turned out, Borofsky would become one to many. He was transparent and a straight-shooter. We were even planning to meet with him as an editorial board next week to press him on key university issues, just as we had done last year. Borofsky valued student input at Loyola and worked his hardest to take their opinions into account. Could he have done better? Sure. But much like his dealings with faculty, Borofsky was here to make the right decisions for the university, not what made students most comfortable. Some of those choices included cutting personnel. Hard, but necessary moves to limit university spending to match our income. Borofsky also modernized university policies and procedures. The ones he replaced seemed so outrageous it was hard to believe they were actually allowed. Yes, going out and buying a bottle of wine on a university credit card is nice, but when sitting on a budget

deficit, ehh … maybe not the best idea. And we may not be able to buy pizza for our staff putting together the paper on Wednesday nights, but we’d gladly take OR food over a university in financial distress. What’s important now, though, is that we don’t lose track. Yes, Loyola feels like a “sinking ship,” but Borofsky showed us that by making the right moves we can get afloat. So we call on the new Chief Operating Officer and chairman of the Board of Trustees Paul Pastorek to keep us going in that direction. That means if more faculty cuts are needed, make them. If administration needs to be shrunk, shrink it. If we need to raise funds by turning Mercy Hall into a casino, bet on it. Do what has to be done for this university to survive, not what is easy. We look forward to working with Pastorek and look forward to meeting him. Hopefully he makes himself just as available as Borofsky and can bridge the gap that exists between the student body and the board of trustees. So to Pastorek, we say: we must stay on track, we must find financial stability and we must not lose our accreditation. There’s too much at stake here. We were just starting to feel like we could get out from being underwater. Let’s make sure we don’t sink again.

kesaidin@my.loyno. edu

Editor’s note: In light of the Tulane Hullaballo’s recent satirical article in the April Fools’ issue of their paper, a member of The Maroon’s editorial board responded with some satire of her own. Recent reports of the existence of another college newspaper left Loyola students confused and searching for answers. After an article targeted towards Loyola students, titled “Tulanians must remember the Loyola Reconquista, brace themselves for future clashes” was published, chaos ensued across campus. “It’s fairly tasteless for Tulane to compare themselves to a marginalized group who were driven out by the Spaniards and removed from their home and culture,” said Student McStudent, junior. “But the real question is, what the hell is the Hullabaloo?” Similar sentiments after the article’s publication echoed throughout the OR (or, as Tulane students incorrectly call it, Luff). “An entire newspaper has been operating next door for years, and we didn’t know about it until now? I didn’t see the Hullabaloo on the Princeton Review’s Top 5 College Newspaper list,” freshman Iggy Iscool said. “I mean, look, we knew that Tulane had some things. They’ve

website? Is it a place for articles about the latest fashion trends on campus and the best drunk munchie food? Is it a website that looks suspiciously like the coded layout of our very own Loyola Maroon?

After further research by the hardworking and underpaid Life & Times editor at the Maroon, the answers to all of these questions appear to be yes.

The rings are out, the banners are hanging and the buzz in the air for Loyola athletics. Haven’t you noticed? The women’s basketball team won another championship banner. Leah Banks keeps breaking more track records. Both swim teams seemed to be unstoppable in the water this season and the dance team performed on the national stage in their short two years of existence. Yet the bleachers are never filled. No one goes out to tennis and baseball matches, and the track and cross country teams do not receive enough praise. Why do we not embrace the top National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Louisiana athletic program? I understand that the matches and games are not always hosted on campus. I get that people don’t want to cross over the Mississippi River, city lines or even hop over to a nearby state to see their friends compete.

dates and recaps. And most of all, we share hallways, classrooms and an entire campus with conference champions, players of the week and national talent. We may not have a big athletic budget or the fanciest buildings and equipment, but we have the benefit of a small campus. Our community is close together.

We are jammed pack right in the heart of Uptown New Orleans. Why can’t we have more praise for the Pack? I know it won’t be something instant. I know it takes time to embrace new things and start new traditions. But just like it took many decades for our sports program to grow and to succeed, so should we, as their

fan base. They represent our school just as much as we do, wearing our school name across their chests and maroon and gold in their uniforms. In all, we have 18 sports with over 200 athletes. If we cannot see them in action, let’s high-five them in the hallways, praise them for their work after class and embrace them all like the Wolf Pack we are.

Baseball earns big win over Brewton-Parker On a rainy Friday in April, the Loyola baseball team endured the elements and split their series versus conference rival, Brewton-Parker University. Game 1 ended in a Brewon-Parker win after a close 5-4 match up. Game 2 fell in the Wolf Pack’s favor as they take monster 11-1 road win. In Game 1, Loyola exploded in the fourth inning, as they led the way with four runs to Brewton-Parker’s two. The home team took two more runners in the bottom of the fourth inning to tie the game, leaving the contest neck and neck until a single run in the seventh inning cost Loyola the game. For the second game of the evening, Loyola pounced on their opponents early with four runs in the third inning. Brewton-Parker attempted to fight back but only managed one run in the bottom of the third inning. It would be a clawing by the Wolf Pack as they sent three runner to home plate in the fifth inning and four runners in the eighth inning while Brewton-Parker was silenced. Allen Dennis, biology freshman, launched his team-leading fifth home run of the season in the game. Zachary Cook, business freshman, caught two bases, bringing him up to nine stolen bases for the season. Cook also recorded three hits, three runs, and two RBI throughout the two games. Joseph Kuchler, marketing senior, pitched his second complete game
