Unfortunately, we have entered an age in which one does not even need to be present to kill and civilian territory. They are called combat drones. They are armed, remotely-controlled killing machines—and they are changing the face of modern warfare. This past Tuesday night, Medea Benjamin, co-founder of the grassroots women’s peace and social justice organization CODEPINK, visited Winthrop’s campus to speak on the topic of drone warfare. CODEPINK is known for its controversial protest methods, such as last May when Benjamin interrupted President Obama several times during a speech at the National Defense University and had to be removed. Benjamin and CODEPINK have successfully created a cross-ideological coalition against the use of drones that includes progressive Democrats, independents and libertarians such as myself. According to Benjamin, the U.S.-led “War on Terror” has seen the transition from traditional warfare to drone warfare, starting under the administration of President George W. Bush.

Columnist disagrees on Tillman statue The following does not reflect the views of The Johnsonian. By Will Moredock Special to The Johnsonian When our lawmakers returned to Columbia on Jan. 14 to open the legislative session, they were greeted by a full-page ad in The State newspaper, calling for the removal of the statue of Ben Tillman from the grounds in front of the Statehouse. The ad directed readers to the website www.downwithtillman. com, where details of the life of the one-time governor and U.S. senator
were laid out in chilling detail. This is not the Ben Tillman that many of us were introduced to in our South Carolina history classes of the mid20th century and earlier. This Tillman was a savage racist and a murderer. He was a member of a band of vigilantes which overthrew the government of the state, representing the 60 percent black majority, killing hundreds of African-Americans in the process. As governor, he pushed through the state constitution of 1895, whose primary purpose was to disenfranchise the black majority and turn
them into second-class citizens. He spent the last years of his life and on the Chatauqua circuit traveling around the country, “preaching to those people the gospel of white supremacy according to Tillman,” to use his own words. In 1900, Tillman famously said, “We have done our level best [to prevent blacks from voting]...we how we could eliminate the last one shot them. We are not ashamed of it.”

Drone warfare doing more harm than good in Middle East %30/& t from front
However, the use of drones began to increase exponentially under the leadership of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Barack Obama: 330 of the total 381 strikes in Pakistan alone have occurred since President Obama deaths, of which only 2 percent were high-level targets. The government tells us that the use of drones is safer and more humane than traditional warfare because troops are not put in harm’s way and the strikes are concentrated. Benjamin referenced a study that says that the operators of combat drones develop post traumatic stress disorder at a rate equal to soldiers in combat. These soldiers may not be at risk of being shot or bombed, but there are still heavy mental tolls involved with the extinguishment of human life at the press of a button. In addition, the large majority of
victims of these strikes are innocent civilians.

She recounted to us the stories of some of the people she met there, like the thirteen-year-old girl refugee in Afghanistan whose home and family were destroyed because they lived too close to a suspected Taliban base. Even more recently, on Dec. 12 a U.S. drone in Yemen murdered 14 people and wounded 22 others when convoy as harboring members of al Qaeda—in actuality, it was a wedding party. Benjamin concluded her talk with the argument that drones make more enemies than they kill. In Yemen, for example, her research found that before the introduction of drones, membership in extremist

Morrison works for The Lancaster News as a photographer and was severely injured in a car crash over the summer. He is a Winthrop alumnus and former photographer for The Johnsonian. The Johnsonian published several articles about Morrison over the summer from the crash to his recovery. Morrison called to thank us for writing articles about him over the summer and for the support of the Winthrop community. The Johnsonian is so thankful to hear Aaron’s voice on the answering machine and we are so glad that he is back on his feet. It has been a long road to recovery for Aaron, who has been doing physical therapy since his release from the hospital in September of 2013.

long-term consequences—rather than being seen as violent extremists perpetrating suicide bombings and the like, drone killings turn terrorists into martyrs and catalysts for the development of anti-U.S. sentiment. A man that Medea Benjamin interviewed told her that after his grandmother was killed in a drone attack, he came to love gray skies and hate blue skies because gray skies meant that the drones could not patrol. If we as Americans value peace and human life, we must put a stop to drone warfare. How can we prewe are practicing it?

to remain in. Over the years, news articles, periodicals, inspirational speakers and critics have tried to pin-point the exact ways to make one happy. Yet, there is no secret to happiness; there is nothing that one can do to essentially make themselves happy other than simply letting that be their state of mind. Happiness is an intrinsic emotion. To be happy one simply needs to want to be happy and pursue their goals in a timely manner. Life will ultimately be an individuals pursuit of happiness. Therefore, the secret to happiness will always be locked inside of the individual. Everyone and anyone can be happy, they don’t need riches or for every single one of their desires to be met. According to a Boston College survey, a fair number of the “superrich” are actually miserable with
their current state. No, happiness comes from individual events and can be expanded on by small things. On a personal note, happiness came through just smiling more and worrying less about the thoughts of others. Others have found happiness in the constant exertion of the body or the mind, in their exercise or in their books. Do you see the point here? other people or their validation. Happiness can only come from the inside, it can only be forged in the are social creatures, but that doesn’t mean that a human should put up with people who have nothing but spite in them.

exert unnecessary control over the internet, we’re uncomfortably close to losing net neutrality, something a lot of us have taken for grant-
ed over the years. Net neutrality is essentially “open Internet,” preventing Internet service providers from blocking or discriminating against legal websites or other online content. In a nutshell, this means that the Internet is to be equally accessible. On Jan 14, a federal appeals court struck down the rules made by the Federal Communications Commission, claiming that the agency does not have the power to require Internet service providers to provide equally accessible Internet. The FCC has stated that it will appeal the ruling. This means that ISPs could potentially start throttling Internet access, or “playing favorites.” For instance,
major providers could increase speed on the websites of companies that use their service, and slow it down on sites that do not. Monthly crease as the cost of doing business increases, and free services such as YouTube could eventually require subscriptions. There is no logical reason to start forcing ISPs to modify their services in this way. Most of what we do on the Internet is free, and has always been free to an extent. YouTube’s reputation is already in jeopardy due to their overly strict copyright policy, and a possible pay-to-use model could reduce the amount of users It’s a simple conclusion: The Internet needs to stay “open” and relatively free to use. We’ve got enough to pay for in life – why force more money out of people when it isn’t needed? It isn’t like enough money is being made, especially from the top companies (Verizon, AT&T, TMobile, etc). Let’s hope the appeal will succeed. The Internet as we know it will take a nosedive in the wrong direction if this rule is removed.

I know that it has done wonders for my own mood lately, but if that isn’t your thing, don’t worry about it. As previously noted, the only person that knows you 100 percent is yourself.

It might suck come quickly, but there is rarely a more rewarding moment than seeing muscle start to form or those pounds start to fade away. Balance your diet.

the issue reaches back more than six years. Prices have been going up since 1982, around the time that personal computers became popular and were integrated into the school system. for some of the issues, along with grants; however, there is another culprit. Since 2001, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the U.S. has been slashing funding to education. Here are just a few statistics: student was reduced by 21 percent from $8,257 to $6,532 ing for public higher education dropped 14.6 percent least one-third of all states received funding cuts to education; in half of those years it was two-thirds. the price after grants are removed, rose by 33.1 percent Simply put this says is the government has decided it needed to cut spending somewhere and it chose
education over everything else. That’s right: since 2000, the government has decided that education should be on the chopping block. It decided that the future of this country, the new leaders, workers and next generation of thinkers and innovators should be the ones to shoulder this debt along with their families or parents. If the government told the U.S. to go without for a few years, to remove the luxury, the pomp and circumstance from life– that would be one thing if spending was balanced. A human being can thrive and be successful without access to the latest fashions, video games, over the top cars and other frivolous items. Very, very few people can thrive without an education. Yet, the budget isn’t balanced. Funding for military takes up 17 percent of the total, medicare 25 percent and social security/unemployment 33 percent, while education sits at two percent and is a constant concern of the nation. Not to mention the military has stated they have no need for that much money.
Student voices thoughts on new courses I have to admit, it’s a little thrilling to be in an experimental class. I am enrolled in a new class taught by Dr. Brittany Rauch Sarah Spring. It is titled WRIT 368X, a title that seems to intimidate some students. However, I do not understand some people’s reservations about adding newer classes to the Winthrop curriculum, or to any school’s curriculum for that matter. I’m sure there was no such thing as a computer science major 100 years ago, so the changing of a curriculum comes with the times. WRIT 368X stands for writing for professionals. It is a class that teaches how we, students and future employees, can use our writing and editing skills to help ourselves advance and make less mistakes in the Once in class, the teacher said that a lot of professional editors sit behind desks and go through innumerable amounts of documents just waiting for someone to take a pen or arrow (for computers) to. I absolutely despise the idea of sitting trapped behind a desk for the rest of my life and writing for people in the
company or even editing their work. is essential, however, that I have the skills of a professional writer.

Dr. Spring is a beacon of light in the English department; at least she is for me, because she represents hope that at when I tell someone that I’m an English major. So, I say experiment away professors. Each year that passes us by, new technology and inventions come to light and our world alters just a little bit at a time. No one should fear change because it is inevitable. These curriculum changes are inevitable. I support them, but even if I didn’t, they would still come. After all, there is no stopping a storm.

Super Bowl leaves fans thrilled in Seattle, devastated in Denver By Michael Owens Sports Editor
win ended up winning it all. What happened in reality was much less than expected.
Last Sunday, Super Bowl XLVIII shattered television ratings records and became the most-watched television event in history. Almost a third of the U.S. population tuned in to watch what would end up becoming one of the largest margins of victory in the nearly 50-year history of the big game. Let’s face it, this game was way too hyped up for it to be even remotely close to what all of the analysts thought it was. Others were also calling for a close game, and what could possibly

I had picked Seattle by at least ten points going in, not just because of my distaste for sports media’s worship of Broncos that football works by the whole “defense wins championships� mantra. Don’t believe that mantra? Look at a couple of examples from recent history, such as the 2000 Baltimore Ravens or the 2003 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as guides. I felt like Seattle would either contain Manning in the very end or just have a While I much preferred the latter, I also just wanted to watch a football game, even if it meant that the team I didn’t want to

“I strongly believe that little by little, we can change the world to be a better place. If we can turn negativity into positivity, we can do whatever we want” said Matheus da Silva, junior marketing major from Sao Paulo, Brazil. He came to study in America after a car accident that made his father decide that he needed to take more responsibility. “Sometimes I feel lonely,” da Silva said. “Fortunately, I have friends from all over the world to comfort me and also motivate me to be a better person in my daily life.” da Silva said that living so far away from his family is not a big challenge because technology allows him to talk to them whenever he wants. Da Silva said that one advantage of living in America is that he gets to learn new things every single day. One disadvantage is however, the occasional communication barrier. “I always have to check something in the dictionary because I do not like when people do not understand me” de Saliva Da Silva said that other than that, he son who loves making friends from many Da Silva talked on the stereotypes he believed about Americans before coming here, “I thought they were snobbish and they thought they were the best, no matter what subject you are on,” de Sliva said. Da Silva admitted that America is not the only country to have its stereotypes, and no one is going to always know the truth about every culture. “I have always been an open minded person, and I like to know people’s feelings and what they are thinking,” de Silva said. Da Silva said he strongly encourages students to study abroad. “Learning about a new culture and getting to know people from all over the world is one of the most amazing experiences you will ever face,”

Dylan Bannister is this week’s art student of concentration in drawing and print making. However, Bannister doesn’t like the idea of only having one concentration. “If I had all the money in the world there would be no concentration for me,” Bannister said. He appreciates every type of art despite the fact that his concentration is mainly geared towards drawing and print making. Many artists and art majors go into the education program here at Winthrop University. However, while Bannister is a lover of all art, when it comes down to it, he cannot see himself ever teaching art. “I respect art teachers,” Bannister said. “But, teaching just doesn’t appeal to me.” was a rough adjustment, but he has managed to achieve happiness, and he loves of what he any sleep, it’s because he can’t help but want to create. pieces of technology and then twisting it until it’s unrecognizable.” Bannister is a simple artist in some ways.

It’s beautiful.” Bannister is a part of an online community that forms into a small art movement, known as Glitch Art. this Glitch Art has had some good inspiration and Bannister has been praised on some of his works. “I’ve had good responses in the past,” Bannister said. “It’s a feeling I can’t compare to anything. Almost tear jerking. Unbelievable. Ideas are the best thing in the world and if I had to describe the feeling I’d say it’s like if J.K. Rowling, herself, was like ‘this is really cool, hey look at this!’” Bannister is excited for his up coming show. more solitary shows. He is collaborating with fellow artist, Austin, but mainly the show will be nothing but the two of them. “The whole goal is to elicit a response,” Bannister said. “It’s to keep your image in someone’s head. I don’t want people to just see a piece and go ‘oh, art,’ and move on. It just becomes automatic and I don’t want that.”

From the moment Barcott started his undergraduate degree, he knew he wanted to go into the military. While attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he took classes that would prepare him for military services. Barcott took several Anthropology courses. “There is only so much you can understand from a book. You have to put yourself in the environment,” Barcott said. Barcott talked to one of his professors and she reached out to a contact she had in Kibera in Nairobi, Kenya. He then set out to Kibera to do research
and learn about the people that lived there. “I rented a 10-by-10 shack for $13 a month,” Barcott said. “I became completely overwhelmed by the defecation.” Kibera is a slum with over 100,000 people living in man-made tin shake

He then set out and talked to the local people, but some questioned his motives, such as Salim Mohamed, who is credited as a co-founder of Carolina For Kibera (CFK). Barcott recalled Mohamed saying, “Mista, what the hell are you doing here? You are going to do research here but what are you going to do for the local community?” These words did not sit well with Barcott. He realized that most people in the community didn’t know about non-government organizations (NGOs) or felt that they didn’t connect to the community. “Talent is universal, but opportunities
