Rex mansion goes up in flames By Tyler Wann wtwann@my.loyno.edu
The historic Montgomery-Grace mansion on St. Charles went up in flames around 8 a.m. Wednesday morning, according to the New Orleans Fire Department. A release from the department said the initial call came at 7:44 a.m. after being alerted to visible flames coming from the building. The release said that after escorting an elderly woman from the building and making sure that it had been
completely evacuated, they started fighting the fire that was engulfing the first floor and the basement. 25 New Orleans Fire Department units were on the scene, fighting a fire that eventually engulfed the roof. “I’m amazed. It’s like the water isn’t doing anything,” said Beverly Rainbolt, who lives down the street from the mansion and had been watching the fire department fight the flames for over an hour. According to New Orleans Emergency Medical Services, no injuries
had been reported during the fire. This came as a relief to Emilie Montgomery, whose aunt, uncle and 92-year-old grandmother lived in the house. According to Montgomery, even their dog was able to make it out of the flames unscathed. “Everybody’s okay, which is the best thing,” she said. “But they lost everything, and that’s devastating. With the history behind it, it’s a sad day.” The mansion is known for being one of the stops for the Krewe of
Rex, where, traditionally, the king stops to toast the house during the parade. According to Montgomery, this tradition has been happening since her great-great-uncle started it. “It’s been in Mardi Gras since I can remember,” she said. “And unfortunately it had to happen before Mardi Gras. It’s a sad day for everybody.” The fire department said that the cause of the fire won’t be known until the investigation is complete.
Biodegradable beads aim to save environment By Jade Meyers jzmyers@my.loyno.edu
They come in different sizes, shades and colors. From green to purple, to black and gold. Some even light up and some clog drains. But the colorful plastic Mardi Gras beads are doing more harm to the environment than good, according to Bob Thomas, Loyola professor and director of the Environmental Communication Center. New Orleans found thousands of pounds of beads clogged in drains last year with their efforts of cleaning the city, according to Thomas. Thomas said he goes to a lot of parades and when they are over it is remarkable how much plastic is sitting on the streets, which he says is likely to not be recycled, or re-thrown since people have been walking on them and because they are usually broken. It is what he calls “absolute horrible waste.” Thomas said if the beads hit the street and are not picked up, they will be there five years from now. “The streets are swept after the parades, but, if the beads get washed down the drain, the beads will clog the drain which create problems,”
Thomas said. Thomas thinks there is an alternative for this issue and it could improve environment. “Bio-degradable beads serve the same purpose as the plastic beads. They are beads, they throw well, and they catch well,” Thomas said. Atlas Handmade Beads, a company that sells bio-degradable beads made from newspapers handcrafted by women in Uganda, was created by Kevin Fitzwilliam, a former student of Thomas and a 2003 Loyola University of New Orleans graduate. Fitzwilliam said he came up with this idea from his love of Carnival, which started as a small project and transformed in to a small business. He said he wanted to find ways of making Carnival less wasteful because he cares about the environment. Atlas Handmade Beads has been around for just over a year and a half and sells bracelets, necklaces and coin purses while also increasing the standard of living for his employees in Uganda. Fitzwilliam says his company has a big focus on Carnival, but it also has a lot of other audiences. They have a line for Saints fans, with black and gold items. Also, they
have items for school colors. He said his beads have been thrown in some parades by individual riders who are members of Krewe of Iris and Krewe of Muses, but his company is not the only one that sells jewelry made from newspapers. Kevin said what sets his apart from the others is the message he wants to send through his beads of addressing the conversation of do we have to continue to have hordes of plastic beads in New Orleans. “The goal is to provide an alternative for Chinese plastic beads, so that we can discuss where our products come from, specific to Mardi Gras. (It is) about retaining everything we love about Mardi Gras, but about reducing the amount of waste that is associated with Mardi Gras,” said Fitzwilliam. Fitzwilliam wants people to understand what it means to care for the environment and protect it, because for him it is very important. “Real focus is people being aware of where their products come from, thinking about being a global citizen, and thinking and talking about sustainability,” said Fitzwilliam.

Think of your favorite musicians. Chances are John Snyder has recorded them. That’s what Lukas Cox said the chair of film and music industry studies told him when he was a student at Loyola. Since 2004, decades of music industry experience has been funneled into students through Snyder. He has five GRAMMY awards for producing and has label clients like Atlantic, Columbia, RCA and Sony, just to name a few. He’s collaborated with jazz musicians like Dave Brubeck, Jim Hall and Paul Desmond. In addition to producing music, Snyder also worked as an intellectual property lawyer. On Thursday, Jan. 24, at OffBeat Magazine’s Best of the Beat Awards ceremony, Snyder received the award for Lifetime Achievement in Music Education. He joined Ellis Marsalis, Alvin Batiste and more than a dozen other notable music teachers who have been recognized for their contributions to music education since the award began in 2000. But Snyder is not a traditional music teacher. Rather than teaching students how to play or sing the notes, he teaches them the business side of music. Snyder said he accepted the award on behalf of the music educators he is surrounded by both at Loyola and the greater New Orleans community. “I went to college as a trumpet player and they told me to have (teaching) to fall back on, which I found doubly offensive,” Snyder said. “It meant I was going to fail as a trumpet player … and it meant teaching was a fallback.” Snyder doesn’t believe it’s a fallback though. “(It’s) a high art when done well, I mean the highest,” he explained, “You’re affecting people’s minds and the way they think. You’re rewiring their brains and that’s a pretty serious business.” Snyder is known for being honest with his students. “He wasn’t afraid to disagree with me when I was managing production here and I learned from that,” said Cox, a class of 2014 graduate who now works for Buku Fest. While not a typical music teacher, Snyder said his role is to teach students how to benefit from making music. “The flip side to making music is sharing it and once you do that commerce attaches,” he said. While past recipients of the award have typically been music teachers, Jan Ramsey, editor-in-chief of OffBeat, said it is about time they recognized someone who was instrumental in the business side of music. “Loyola is the premier place for that to happen and it’s been needed for a long time,” she said. Snyder is not only different from typical music teachers, but he is also different from typical teachers, according to Kern Maass, dean of the College of Music and Fine Arts.

Tapingo says skip lines, save time By Francesca Du Broca fdubroca@my.loyno.edu
When she’s running late or behind schedule, Katrina Taverna, communication sophomore, does not want to wait in line for her morning coffee so she uses Tapingo. The mobile ordering app for universities allows students to skip lines and pick-up on the go by ordering food and beverages using phones, tablets, or computers. For Taverna, the beauty of Tapingo is a simple solution to the pressure of her schedule. “I love it,” she said. “I place an order for a coffee five minutes before leaving the dorm and it’s ready for me when I arrive.” The app is free to download in the App Store and Google Play, and to set up a Tapingo account, students create a username and establish a preferred payment option. Tapingo, currently used by more than 150 colleges, was purchased by mobile food conglomerate Grubhub for $150 million in November 2018, according to a press release from the website. The on-campus dining locations that currently partner with Tapingo to deliver food options include Subway, Tsunami Sushi by AFC, Smoothie King, Starbucks and Original Burger Company Grill. Dawana Frank, Original Burger Company Grill manager, said the Tapingo app is a great advantage for students looking for a quick bite to eat or a caffeine boost to get them

through the day. “Students can put in an order on the phone while waiting for a class to end and know it will be ready before the start of the next class. The app makes a student’s busy schedule easier,” Frank said. Grecia Hingst, criminology freshman, has used the app four times since discovering Tapingo and said that she appreciates being able to
use Wolf Bucks as her method of payment. With a wide variety of convenience stores and restaurants along St. Charles and the surrounding New Orleans area, students with more free time, better transportation and wider palates might find Tapingo’s limitations bothersome. Patricia Whelan, psychological sciences freshman, said she used
the app once but prefers other options. “I ordered coffee from the Starbucks café once, but I didn’t care too much for the app,” she said. Whelan said she does not plan on purchasing food from the app in the future. In a statement on its website, Grubhub said it sees a bright future for Tapingo. “Grubhub’s restaurant mar-
ketplace and delivery operations complement the Tapingo platform and will enable campus dining programs to expand delivery capabilities and access more diners both on and off campus while providing students with more restaurant options,” Grubhub said.
Play therapy combines toys, mental health New name By Erin Snodgrass eesnodgr@my.loyno.edu @erinsnod
Last week, LeAnne Steen played in a sandbox with a toy turtle and bridge. Not because she’s a child — in fact, she’s a therapist with a Ph. D. No, she was engaging in play therapy. And understandably so, as she is the creator and director of the Loyola University Play Therapy Center of Education and Research, housed in Loyola’s newly opened, sliding-scale mental-health clinic. Tuesday, Feb. 19, the play therapy clinic held an open house where Steen and graduate interns who work at the facility showcased the space and services offered. While the educational center has existed at Loyola since 2008, the clinic has just started seeing members of the community this past semester. “It’s going well,” Steen said about the new development at the clinic. “We’ve had several child clients. We’re starting a parent education group where we teach parents the basic skills that play therapists use. It is the only center approved by the National Association of Play Therapy in Louisiana and is one of only thirty such centers throughout the country. “The idea is that play is a language. It’s symbolic and pre-verbal
and it’s a way that children process,” Steen said. “So, even non-verbal children can benefit from play therapy.” The center serves both as a place for education as well as a clinic providing play therapy to members of the community. The space consists of a small room filled with toys, ranging from action figures to children’s medical equipment and a variety of sandboxes. Books line the walls with advice on how children can deal with events like death and divorce. “The toys in a play therapy room are selected, not collected,” Steen said. “Because, we use specific toys for specific ways for children to express themselves.” When treating patients, Steen allows the children to explore the room while she tracks what they’re choosing and how they’re playing. This allows her to understand what they are trying to communicate. “If they’re being a cashier or a medical person, that’s basic perspective taking. It gives them a sense of control over something they don’t usually have control over,” Steen said. “And that has cathartic, therapeutic value.” Every three years, the center has to have its approval renewed by the national association. Centers can acquire points by providing play

therapy classes, having a laboratory and clinic and publishing research in play therapy. The center was renewed in May of 2016. The play therapy clinic is now under the umbrella of Loyola’s new Center for Counseling and Education. The center is housed in Mercy Hall and opened earlier this month. The center aims to provide mental healthcare to uninsured and under-insured New Orleanians. Sarah Zoghbi, co-founding director of program development for the counseling center, said nobody is turned away for lack of funds. Zoghbi and John Dewell, the clinical
director, have been collaborating on the opening of the clinic for the past 14 months. “The whole purpose of it was to be able to provide services for people, and, now that they’re actually able to get it, it’s great,” Zoghbi said. As for Steen in the play therapy center, she appreciates the opportunity to showcase the center’s resources and services. “When you have an active play therapist with you, the therapeutic value increases because somebody is understanding,” Steen said. “We all know the value of being understood.”
A college by any other name is still a college. After more than a semester of deliberation, Loyola announced that the former College of Music and Fine Arts has been renamed the College of Music and Media, according to an email from President Tania Tetlow and Kern Maass, dean of the College of Music and Media, on Feb. 20. The college is home to one-third of the university’s undergraduate population and all three of the schools in the college have also been renamed. The School of Communication and Design now includes the university’s communication, film, design and art programs. The School of Music Industry has been established in order to represent, “our historic strengths while looking towards the economic future,” according to Tetlow, and the School of Music and Theatre Arts will now include the university’s theatre and music programs.

A group of Loyola students took a trip to Studio BE, a warehouse exhibit with themes of impermanence, black history, and New Orleans culture. A couple of blocks away from where Mardi Gras parades were rolling, a group of Loyola students went to Studio BE. The visit was a part of Loyola’s Get to NOLA Excursion with this one being the first of the Spring semester, according coordinator of Campus Recreation & Commuter Engagement Maddi Borison. “Get to NOLA are outdoor excursions for students to get to know NOLA,” Borison said. Students visited the “Ephemeral eternal” exhibit of Brandan “B-mike” Odums’ Studio BE. Odums is a local artist who tackles the issues of lack of opportunity in sports, police brutality, Hurricane Katrina and the image of black historical figures through the use of spray painting.

Loyola to take part in civil rights road trip By Madison McLoughlin mmmcloug@my.loyno.edu
Suitcases and snacks will be packed on Mardi Gras day, just in time for the civil rights road trip. The civil rights road trip will drive through Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee to stop at several sites important to civil rights history beginning on March 6. After several conversations with students about the civil rights movement histories that aren’t often discussed in schools, Stacy Lewis-Goins, administrative assistant, and Heather Malveaux, university minister for social justice and immersion programs, came up with the opportunity for students to take an educational road trip. “It’s designed to give an overview of civil rights in the African-American community in the United States through learning about what took place in the south,” Malveaux said.
Because the university community in New Orleans is small, the trip offers students from Loyola, Dillard and Xavier the opportunity to learn without having to sit in a classroom and take exams or write papers, still “painting the entire picture” of African-American history, according to Malveaux. “I’m a big believer in experiential learning,” Malveaux said. “I think it’s very important because we go to a university that has social justice written in its mission and wants us to holistically educate our students.” The educational journey serves as a way for students to bond over the road trip experience, and get to know their peers and themselves in a “different learning environment,” according to Malveaux. The bus will travel, in order, to the National Voting Rights Museum in Alabama, the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum in Mississippi, the National Civil Rights Museum
in Tennessee, the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Alabama and The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration in Alabama over the course of five days, from March 6 to March 10. Sybol Anderson, chief diversity officer, said the value of the trip is for students to be able to engage in the history that is not often talked about in school. “I think it’ll be an awesome experience,” Anderson said. “(The trip) will evoke feelings and emotions that will provoke deeper thought, and I think that’s exactly the type of thing that more people need to experience in order to really understand the issues and concerns we have about social justice.” The road map for the civil rights road trip. The trip take place from March 6 to March 10. Illustration by Ariel Landry.

Players are never ‘board’ at tabletop gaming cafe By Andrew Lang awlang@my.loyno.edu
At d4 Tabletop Gaming Café, you can get your meal while you try to level up your character. Upon entry, you’re greeted by a wall of games and a glass display case on the counter filled with miniature figurines. There’s a gumball machine filled not with gum, but with different colored and sized dice. Owners Mark and Tracy Meyer are role players and would go to a game shop in Metairie to play, Mark Meyer said. The café opened up in late March 2018. The couple got the idea for their unconventional business from the problem they noticed at a game store they used to go to. “We would go bi-weekly and play and watch people go in there and hang out for five hours and not spend a dime inside the game shop and then go next door and buy Chinese food, come back and eat that food in the shop,” Mark Meyer said. “We had made the comment ‘Oh, he needs to start selling Chinese food.’” The café sells and rents copies of tabletop games. It also sells a variety of sandwiches, soups and salads. Regular customer David Ahrens-Bryant said the café has a varied community and a variety of role-playing games are played. “You can be in here and there are people with full-sleeve tattoos playing My Little Pony RPGs with friends,” Ahrens-Bryant said. The biggest money-makers for the café are food and Dungeons and
Dragons books and accessories. “I met two new people just talking about how my miniatures (collection) exploded because of this place,” Ahrens-Bryant said. “I did not have miniatures before and now I have shelves covered in these little thieves – because they steal everything, all my money.” Another regular customer Sebastian Siegel also struggles with purchases. “The worst is when he gets a new box and it’s like of a set that’s new or if one of us gets a box and gets a good pull, then everyone’s like oh I want a box, I want a box, I want a box. It just descends into madness,” he said. Ahrens-Bryant said it makes it easier for people to get involved in the tabletop gaming community for both people with and without experience. “I ended up helping these kids create their characters and it was hilarious,” he said. “I was like ‘You can’t do that. You are not a high-enough level.’ He was like ‘I just want to kill things.’ And I was like ‘I’ll lead you down that path my child, but before you murder, you must create.’” Mark Meyer said he has over 20 years in the restaurant industry and his wife has 10 years plus as pastry cook. After seeing other game stores in other cities, they decided to open their own store. Mark Meyer said it took a long time after they started working on it to get the store opening and pointed out the “bureaucratic nightmare” board where he keeps his permits.

Now, he says they have 14 consistent long-term games going on regularly. They also host a lot of Magic: The Gathering games and offer a variety of other tabletop games for sale or rent. Ahrens-Bryant said he is glad to take his business here instead of the other places he had been buying these products. “You are buying things from people who actually care about what they are selling and care about the product and care about the people buying the product and know about the product.” A wall of tabletop games greets customers of the gaming cafe.

From music to movies, Gasa Gasa sends out relaxed vibes By Catie Sanders casande2@my.loyno.edu
There’s food, drinks and an eager audience, but the one phrase you probably won’t hear during this movie night is “Shhh!” With just a few benches and a projector, Gasa Gasa converts its dancefloor into seats and its stage into a screen for Free Films at Gasa Gasa. Behind the Freret Street venue’s muraled walls, the stuffy atmosphere of typical movie theaters is lost, according to co-owner Micah Burns. “It’s pretty loose,” Burns said. “We’ve done things where we’ve watched longer movies and literally announced ‘Does anybody wanna chill for a minute and have a smoke?’” Free Films at Gasa Gasa is far from a quiet event, and that’s what people like about it, according to employee Kate Schultz. “I like how it’s like you can just scream and say things,” said Schultz. People who are always shushed when talking during movies might feel more comfortable in Gasa Ga-
sa’s chill atmosphere, as it invites people to socialize before, during and after the film. “At the end of the movie it’s nice that people sit around and talk about it and not have to go somewhere else,” said Burns. Every guest has their own reasons for being a Gasa Gasa moviegoer, and Schultz had a couple herself. “One: It’s free. Two: I feel like most of the movies there I haven’t seen before. It’s a good way to try something new in a new environment, make a new friend, and drink some brews with the boys,” she said. “It’s good, old, wholesome fun.” Movie night has been a staple to the venue since its early days, but as Gasa Gasa has grown in popularity, the event has happened less often. Still, when a movie night is needed, Burns said the venue finds the time, especially during summer. “People are always look for something free and easy to do in the air condition,” Burns said. “People walking past will sometimes just stop what they’re doing, come in and get a drink and hang out.” When it comes to choosing what movie will grace the Gasa Gasa screen, it’s up to Burns and the rest
of the Gasa Gasa team to decide. Usually, “it’s literally just what’s poppin’,” according to Schultz. If the crew doesn’t have a favorite film in mind for an upcoming movie night, it’s no big deal, as long as they stay away from blockbusters. After a screening of “Jurassic Park” failed to bring anyone in, Burns realized that when it comes to movie night, “the weirder, the better.” “For a while I was trying to do movies that would bring in a mass audience. They really fell flat,” said Burns. Since recognizing that Gasa Gasa’s fanbase is intrigued by “progressive new forms of art and music,” Burns no longer shies away from stranger, cult-classic type films. With movie night, Burns said he wants Gasa Gasa to be seen as not just a music venue, but a “cultural center” for their regular guests. “I like to pick interesting things that kind of help our brand as an interesting place,” he said. Movie night doesn’t have a standing date, but those interested in the event can follow Gasa Gasa on Facebook, @gasagasaonfreret, to stay updated on future screenings.

Head coach relates basketball with family By RoSha’e Gibson rlgibson@my.loyno.edu @RoRodagreat1
Head coach Stacy Hollowell is a family man, going home each day to his wife and four children. But when he steps foot in The Den, he’s the leader the entire men’s basketball team. The responsibilities of being both a father and a head coach can be strenuous for a household, but it’s not unfamiliar ground for Hollowell as he has been in a coaching position since 2003 and has served five years at the helm of Loyola’s men’s team. “When we take on a head coaching career, we understand that whether it’s basketball or any other sport for that matter, that there are sacrifices that have to be made,” Hollowell said. With 17 away games spanning across the South, Hollowell and his family must make the best of their limited free time during the basketball season.

More Than a Game Despite the games and practices, his family cheers him on, whether from their home or on the sidelines. “I’m fortunate to have a wife that has been supportive and has put up with a lot of time away from the family,” Hollowell said. “(My kids) love to come up here and play and be around our team.” While coaching 15 athletes, Hollowell also benefits from the advice their families give him. “We’ve had some really impressive guys come through our program specifically,” he said. “At times, I’ll ask their parents for pointers on how to raise my own. Coaching also gives me a little perspective on how to be a parent and sit in the stands and be supportive.” Hollowell explained how being a head coach is similar to being a parent, with routines and responsibilities that resemble one another. “It’s not just about bouncing a ball and putting it in a hoop, but it’s about helping develop young people into the best people that they can be,” Hollowell said. “We love what we do, we’re passionate about what we do and we make the choice, not just to parent our own but in some ways be parents for the men and women that we coach.” At the end of the day, Hollowell sees himself as a father first and

hopes that any perspective coaches will learn from his examples and advice. “You’ve got to be flexible,” Hollowell said. “You’ve got to able to adjust and change quickly. Be unselfish with your time, be unselfish with your energy and understand the commitment that you make when you get married. When things are tough, put your family first, persevere and don’t give up.”
Loyola’s sailing club battens down the hatches By Catie Sanders casande2@my.loyno.edu @sanders_catie
Instead of lacing up hightops, warming up in the bullpen or taking practice laps, one set of athletes prefer bracing strong winds, icy tides and seasickness. Sofia Giordano, president of Loyola’s sailing club, has found a home on the waves and claims her team feels the same way. “The people that join (the club) really love it,” the environmental biology senior said. “They go ‘Oh, I would’ve never gotten into sailing if I didn’t randomly join in college.’” The skills her team learns while on the waters of Lake Pontchartrain are useful in situations other than sailing, Giordano said. “You have to communicate with each other. You have to work off each other, understand what the other person is trying to tell you to do and do it quickly,” she said. From cold, windy weather, to capsizing, the crew has grown from competing and practicing in extreme conditions. She said, “We get into situations, like it’s cold, the boat flips over, it’s raining and then we survived this traumatic experience together. Go us.” Though Giordano has been avid sailor since her time at Ursuline High School, she hopes that a lack of experience does not prevent anyone from getting their feet wet. “A grand majority had never sailed before,” Giordano said when describing her teammates. “Most people are like ‘That looks fun, let me try it,’ and they stick with it.” Natalie Kulka, the sailing club regatta manager, also feels that there is a sense of camaraderie on the water.

“We always talk to each other on the water, cheer each other on, push each other out,” Kulka said. Kulka, music therapy sophomore, always loved being near the water but had never sailed before joining Loyola’s sailing club. She said that people shouldn’t hesitate to join just because they lack experience. “You definitely have to be someone who isn’t afraid to put your foot in the water, test the water, quite literally,” said Kulka. “But it comes really naturally, I think, to a lot of people.” While some students are hesitant to join, others simply haven’t heard of the sailing club, according to Giordano. Despite attending organization fairs to recruit people, the sailing team feels overlooked when it comes to club sports, and the location might be why. “We don’t try to make it hidden.
People just don’t know we exist,” Giordano said. “You see a quidditch team practicing in the quad. But everything we do is in the middle of the lake.” However, just because the sailing club doesn’t practice close to campus does not mean the team is any less competitive. Compared to their usual competition, Loyola is one of the smaller universities when it comes to sailing teams. But, that doesn’t stop members from competing in regattas against bigger schools, such as Tulane and Texas A&M, across the southeastern United States. While competition itself can be rewarding, sailing club coach Kevin Gunn said that sailing has many more benefits than just bragging rights. “It is a skill that you’ll have for the rest of your life which is why I pro-
mote sailing so much with young people,” said Gunn. The sailing club isn’t all about the competition. Kulka agreed that there is more to sailing than winning and that the club gave her the opportunity to meet new people. “I love that it brings together a really unique group of people that wouldn’t necessarily have been friends otherwise. But, we all share the same passion of being on the water and being on a team and wanting to better ourselves.” All in all, the sailing club provides an experience on the water that no other club on campus could. “Recreational sailing is fun, but you can only do it for so long,” Giordano said. “Competitive gets your adrenaline going. It makes it more interesting for everyone and gives people an incentive to learn how to sail.”

OUR EDITORIAL
The majority opinion of our editorial board
During Mardi Gras, we should consider environmentalism in New Orleans
It’s no secret that Mardi Gras is a fairly wasteful holiday. Each year, an estimated 25 million pounds of made-in-China plastic beads are dumped on the streets of our city. Smithsonian Magazine reported that these beads are often coated with lead, a fact that is worrisome when considering the fact that they are held by children and dangle from every tree in the city. Last year, just shy of 1,200 tons of trash were collected during the 2018 parade season. For years, the city measured this trash — and not in a determination of damage, but in a determination of success. The more trash, it seemed, the more successful our Mardi Gras was. While the tradition of throws and parades is integral to our culture and has become synonymous with New Orleans, the environmental impact of such celebrations is beginning to become pertinent. For many decades, we have been able to ignore the looming impact of climate change. But environmental catastrophes in recent years have deeply affected North Americans. Last summer, wildfires in California claimed lives and more than a million acres. Each winter, it seems we face a new “polar vortex” in which the country receives record-breaking cold temperatures. Each summer, we face record-breaking heat waves — like the one this past summer that killed 70 people in Quebec. Although residents of New Orleans are used to summer heat, we still spend every hurricane season holding our breath. In the past two years, we’ve avoided storms like Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Florence. And although it’s spooky to admit it, we only avoided them by chance. Just south of the city in the marshes and bayous, the land is collapsing. According to the U.S Geological Survey’s most recent analysis in 2011, Louisiana lost roughly a football field of land per hour. Scientists say the culprit is reduced sediment flow, subsidence, and sea level-rise — all of which are naturally occurring phenomenons that have been heightened to disastrous effects by human interference. Culturally, New Orleans adopts a laissez-faire attitude about many things. It’s part of what defines our city culturally. We are a place with relaxed alcohol laws, slow-paced public transit that’s remained in the same form since as early as 1830, and a reputation for being a unique city to vacation in the South. New Orleans is different than the fastpaced bustle of other urban metropolises like New York, Chicago or San Francisco. The city values having a good time — laissez les bons temps rouler. Yet, perhaps laissez faire is dooming us. We complain about the poor

Beads, streamers and trash litter the streets and hang from trees after a parade during last year’s Mardi Gras.

condition of our streets, our school systems and our local and political inadequacy. Average police response time is reported to be more than an hour, with the New Orleans Police Department simply lacking the manpower to enforce each law. There is no glass allowed in your curbside pickup recycling — along with a myriad of other common recyclables — simply because we don’t have the resources to recycle them. And now, we face a threat of environmental damage and destruction, which is only heightened by our indifferent attitude. It’s said — no, it’s true — that New Orleans is sinking. Hearing it this way, it’s hard not to think about the sinking of the Titanic and the way that some passengers on board sim-
ply sat there, poured a glass of brandy, and listened to the violin play. But the Titanic was a massive ship that contained materials they could have easily built a raft from in the four-hour sink time. Likewise, New Orleans is a city that deserves our respect and preservation for generations to come. And in order to preserve, we must become conscious of our environmental impact and degradation on the region. We must find solutions to adapt without losing our culture. They exist in biodegradable beads being engineered by students at Louisiana State, in potential glass recycling and repurposing as beads. They exist in the potential that lies in the engineers, the youth, the students and the residents — anyone who is dedicated to keeping New
Orleans afloat. As we prepare for another Carnival Season, we’ll see discarded beads and literal tons of trash rest on our streets, ready to be swept away to a landfill. Somewhere South, while this happens, the land will slowly be sinking away into the Gulf. We’ll grow closer to hurricane season, and we’ll start holding our breath again. But instead of laissez faire — instead of sitting back and letting things take their own course — we ought to wonder what we can do for our city. We have interfered with the course of our natural surroundings, and as citizens of New Orleans, we should consider environmentalism and activism. Otherwise, we will soon be holding our breath year round.

Ted Bundy should stay dead WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH YOUR MARDI GRAS BREADS?
tyler wann Mass communication senior wtwann@my.loyno. edu
Almost 50 years after he was caught by police for the rape and murder of dozens of women, Ted Bundy continues to enjoy a celebrity level of fame, complete with a Netflix documentary series about his life and an upcoming movie in which he’s being portrayed by Hollywood heartthrob Zac Efron. I use the word “enjoy” because, according to one of his survivors Kathy Kleiner Rubin in an interview, this sort of celebrity status is exactly what the killer would have wanted. By many accounts, Bundy was a man with an inflated sense of self worth, a man with an ego who spoke in the third person and truly thought he was special. I know all of this because the documentaries, interviews, movies and articles about him have kept his life well-documented. I’d reckon that most people could tell you more about his life than the lives of the men who were president when he was killing. The media helped Bundy become the mythological figure that he always saw himself, and they awarded him this celebrity because he was a killer. And letting people know that his path is one to fame is a dangerous message to send. Professor of forensic psychology at DeSales University Katherine Ramsland wrote in an article for Psychology Today that “the more celebrity a serial killer attains, the more attractive he is to copycats.”

She notes that not only does this provide future killers an opportunity to study their predecessors mistakes, their “boldness” can be empowering. Now, at the time of writing, the new Ted Bundy film hasn’t yet been released to general audiences, so it’s difficult to tell in exactly what light the movie intends to portray the killer. However, the trailer has already come under fire for featuring Zac Efron winking at the camera and jumping out of buildings like an action hero to the backing of a hard rock soundtrack. The trailer makes his story look exciting and interesting. That’s because it is. It’s no secret that bad news gets more attention than good news. People can’t look away from car wrecks, because they aren’t what you see on the average day. That’s the kind of story that makes the news. That’s the kind of thing they make movies about. It’s not realistic to call for a blackout on bad news, or to say that there should never be a
movie made about a tragedy again. It’s not realistic to expect people to not be interested in these sort of stories, because these stories aren’t the average. They’re interesting. However, there’s a line between documenting and glamorizing. Early viewers have criticized Efron’s new movie for overly romanticizing Bundy and for not paying enough attention to his victims who, as writer Ashley Alese Edwards noted, are still being portrayed as side characters in his story. It’s been heavily publicized that Efron is playing the lead role. I don’t know that I could name a single person playing one of his victims. And maybe it’s a little distasteful to imply that if you commit a heinous enough crime, your story might make its way to the big screen to be told by a handsome Hollywood actor. It’s not that the public shouldn’t be educated about the criminal mind and the red flags that come with it. And it’s not to say that there’s anything wrong with being interest-
ed in topics like this. But research shows that it’s important to tell these stories in a way that doesn’t glamorize these kinds of people so as not to build them up as mythological villains in the vain of Hannibal Lector or Dexter Morgan. Because when it comes down to it, despite the grandiose way that many serial killers see themselves, they’re usually not exceptional people. They’re not the average person. But they’re also “losers,” according to writer Joel Achenbach. “Real life is not so gothic. When police bag a serial killer, he is usually a weak man, cowardly, not terribly savvy and a failure at most everything he’s ever done in life. He’s a loser,” Achenback wrote in a 1991 Washington Post article. Media that depicts them as anything other than that is not only distasteful and dishonest, it could send the wrong sort of message to those with the same delusions of grandeur.
Don’t feel guilty about withdrawing from a class By Gracie Wise glwise@.my.loyno.edu
I never thought about withdrawing from a class all my life. Other kids were taking five classes or more and didn’t seem stressed or anxious about it. If I could tackle five to six classes in high school, then why shouldn’t I be able to tackle fifteen credit hours in college? When I was still in high school, I remember hearing horror stories from close friends and family about how agonizing their workload was. “They’re probably overreacting,” I told myself. I knew I was going to be stressed in college — let’s be real, you’re gonna be stressed regardless — but hey, it couldn’t be as bad as it seemed, right? Sure enough, there were days and nights where I was up past midnight, super stressed about a paper, test and reading assignment done all in one night. Regardless, I finished freshman year with a high GPA and 30 college credits. I considered withdrawing maybe once or twice whenever I thought I made a bad grade on a test or paper, but I toughened up and hoped for the best –– only to find I was making a mountain out of an molehill. Summer flew by and I was a soph-
omore taking five classes plus an internship class last semester, adding up to a total of 16 credit hours. Things were going pretty well. I thought managing my school, social and personal life would be easy peasy lemon squeezy. Two or three weeks later, things got pretty messy. Needless to say, I ended up at the University Counseling Center in tears. I just wanted to enjoy my life in college while keeping up with a hectic schedule. Trying to balance my grades, social life, hobbies and well-being wasn’t easy, and I was utterly miserable. Withdrawing from a class wasn’t what I had in mind, but when I talked to my counselor, she suggested I withdraw from a class I was currently taking and retake it in the spring. Heck, even my student advisor thought it was a good idea. I was hesitant at first, but I trusted my gut and withdrew. I felt all kinds of emotions that day. A part of me felt this surge of relief as if a heavy weight fell off my shoulders. I felt like I could breathe again. Simultaneously, I felt like there was a black rain cloud hovering over my head. “Did I make the right choice,” I thought. “Am I setting myself up for failure?” My guilt was telling me
that I let my parents and professors down. I’d end up working at McDonald’s and all that jazz. A week passed and I immediately felt at peace. I felt like I could finally manage my workload while going to clubs, keeping in touch with my friends and having more time for my special interests like reading for fun, writing/creating my own characters, drawing and playing Nintendo. I realized it wasn’t healthy to confine myself in my room or the third floor of the library doing the same thing without a brain break. While getting good grades was obviously a no-brainer, I needed to take some time to walk away and smell the roses. I am now taking four classes. I still struggle with stress and sometimes balancing my personal life with school, but I’m happy with my schedule and that’s all that matters. Some people might say that students need to suck it up and get it over with. Others might say that you’re doing well in a class and that there’s no reason to call it quits. In no way, shape or form am I encouraging everyone to withdraw from a class because they don’t feel like showing up to class or doing whatever they need to get done. If you can handle 21 credits, that’s
fine. If you can handle 12 credits, that’s fine, too. Hard work and a decent GPA might be your ticket to getting your degree, but so is taking a breather. If you find yourself doing more than the bare minimum and feel like your head’s going to explode, it’s time to make serious adjustments to your schedule. Talk to your advisor and a counselor at the counseling center before withdrawing a class. They’ll give you advice on how to manage your time wisely and strike that balance. But if you’ve already tried that out and still find yourself in a rut, then maybe it’s time to withdraw. Talk to an advisor and counselor and ask for their opinion. Don’t withdraw from classes that are vitally important for your major/minor or enjoy taking, and don’t do it to the point where you’re taking below twelve credits. Sometimes, students withdraw a class that they’re struggling in. Others may need to withdraw if it’s hurting their mental health. If you decide not to withdraw, find a plan that works for you. But if withdrawing that one class guarantees you better grades and a happier lifestyle, by all means do it, and don’t let anyone make you feel ashamed for putting yourself first.

“I’ll save the good beads to throw next year, and I’ll recycle the old or ugly beads. I also might throw them back at the riders in the parade, even though that is kind of a crime.”

“I have this little six-foot fake Christmas tree that I’ve had for years. It’s down to one leg now. We have this tradition where every Mardi Gras, we take all our throws and chuck it at the tree. This poor tree, I mean, if it could talk — it’s gone through so much abuse. I don’t know if it’s going to make it through this year. Basically, we’re going to take everything we catch and aquire during Mardi Gras at throw it at this tree and see if it makes it. Last year, the tree was up and it was perfect. After Mardi Gras day, we threw everything we’d gotten, at it just collapsed.
