The Lumberjack -- October 7

José Luis Cruz Rivera installed as NAU President

N

AU hosted a presidential installation ceremony Sept. 30 where José Luis Cruz Rivera was officially sworn in as the university’s 17th president.

The event began at 3 p.m. in the Prochnow Auditorium on north campus. Guests were ushered into the ceremony by an upbeat performance by the Elden Brass Quintet.

After finding their seats, the guests were asked to stand as distinguished members of the university and the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) entered the room dressed in their academic regalia. Cruz Rivera and his wife, Rima Brusi, were not far behind.

Once everyone was seated, the Army and Air

Force ROTC color guard performed a presentation of the colors in which they placed a national, state and NAU flag on each corner of the stage.

From there on, the ceremony had speeches from the NAU faculty president, the chair of ABOR — Lyndell Manson, the president of ASU — Michael Crow and more who acknowledged the accomplishments of Cruz Rivera with confidence in his ability to lead the university’s next saga.

Crow was the keynote speaker at the ceremony. In his 15-minute speech, he spoke of his relationship with Cruz Rivera, the historical significance of the installation and his competency to handle the task of being president.

Editor’s Note: This article contains mentions of sexual assault and may be triggering to some.

At the time of publication, The Lumberjack staff was in contact with the NAU Title IX office regarding any potential clarifications or updates to the office’s current operations.

Sexual assault is the most underreported crime on college campuses. However, there are survivors who choose to share their story in hopes of receiving justice. Megan Campeau, a senior, reported her sexual assault but said justice is impossible due to the mishandling of her case by Title IX.

Campeau was raped last October at a fraternity party off campus. She was immediately taken to the Flagstaff Medical Center by a witness to get a forensic exam, a step that NAUPD encourages to be taken within five days of an assault.

“I was able to do all the steps that everyone tells you to do in order to be viewed as somewhat valid,” Campeau said. “It was scary. I had no idea what I was getting myself into.”

Campeau said she thought available resources would believe her. Instead, she feels she has been subjected to institutional betrayal by Title IX, the organization on campus that advertises itself as a trustworthy resource students can go to after experiencing sexual assault.

Campeau filed for a sexual assault case with Title IX. The average sexual assault case is taken care of within 90 days of the report. However, she said she waited for seven months while, she was told, the organization dealt with paperwork.

First in-person Pride 5K held in Flagstaff

XAVIER JUAREZ

Flagstaff hosted the first in-person Pride 5K Oct. 2 at Coconino High School. The race started at 8 a.m. and ended an hour later, with first place going to Yemane Haileselassie.

The Pride 5K started in 2020 after COVID-19 caused the founder, Nikki Hiltz, to put their life on pause.

“Back in February 2020, I was gearing up for an exciting outdoor track season and a chance to make an Olympic team,” Hiltz wrote on the Pride 5K website “As we all know, both the outdoor track season and the Olympics were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Hiltz said having the extra time that the stay at home orders afforded allowed them to reevaluate certain aspects of their life and discover their true self.

“With my running dreams on hold,

I had time to process, understand and honor my gender identity in ways I hadn’t before,” Hiltz wrote. “Because I didn’t feel comfortable enough to come out, I began to lean into my LGBTQ+ advocacy work, more determined than ever to create safe spaces for queer people.”

Since then, Hiltz has held the Pride 5K on a yearly basis, helping to spread awareness and raise money for queer youth. The event has grown each year, and features racers from around the world.

Emma Gee, the Pride 5K race codirector said she is passionate about queer mental health awareness, something the the Pride 5K helps raise money for. Since its inception, the Pride 5K has raised over $75,000 for The Trevor Project, a nonprofit organization focused on preventing suicide among queer youth.

Who knew my senior year would be the hardest year of my college career? Definitely not me.

Between working two jobs, taking an 18-credit course load, working on a journalism capstone that has additionally been contracted as an Honors capstone, co-hosting a leadership conference consisting of 300 students and the endless clubs I am a part of, I have such little time to enjoy my own company.

For my entire college experience, I have packed my schedule with clubs, classes, work and social activities. I have managed my time well while still giving each activity my full attention.

I have a solid group of friends I love and adore but simply finding the time to call one of them for a short 30 minutes, sometimes takes two weeks until our schedules align. However, those 30 minutes are precious and I cherish that time for the rest of my week.

I have gotten to a point where I know my boundaries, but sometimes I still overbook and overwhelm myself. Even though I spend five days a week on the NAU campus from 9 A.M. to 6:30 P.M. –– sometimes more — somehow I still find time to dedicate to myself.

Balancing these activities with ones that cause me less stress and allow me to recharge is necessary.

Learning where my social battery ends and when my body is telling me to slow down, has been one of the greatest gifts I have given myself. But there is one thing no one told me nor did they teach me.

What do I do when everything just gets too overwhelming? What do I do when I begin to feel as if the negatives outweigh the good? Do I keep powering through or do I cut back my commitments while I decide what to refocus my energy on?

I’m not sure if I’ve reached the point where I need to take a step back and start saying no or if I should continue to let all my commitments run their course. Until I decide what to do, I will continue to live my senior year to the fullest by relishing in the activities I do end up attending and the people I get to spend time with.

Thank

CRUZ RIVERA continued from FRONT

Crow said each generation in human history who has aided in the quest for knowledge has led to this moment. In the pursuit of knowledge on a scale that encompasses all who desire it, Cruz Rivera is a champion of accessibility to education and is well suited for the challenges ahead, he added.

“He is deeply in his soul committed to the success of our democracy,” Crow said. “He understands what it is like to come in from the outside. He understands what it’s like to come from a culture that has always just been held on the peripheral. He understands what it is like to win scholarships to fantastic institutions and outperform all of the privileged kids and not let that go to his head. He is committed to this model.”

After the ceremony, Crow said he has no doubt Cruz Rivera will succeed in his task.

“He is a natural leader compatible with academia, and I think he is ready to usher in the new NAU,” Crow said.

After the keynote speech, Cruz Rivera was asked to stand as Manson presented him with the presidential medallion. Instead of standing alone, Cruz Rivera brought his wife to center stage with him as they shared an emotional embrace.

“I loved the whole nerds in love thing,” Brusi said.

Brusi took the podium to speak of her relationship with Cruz Rivera and how truly dedicated her husband is to the university and the expansion of access to education.

Brusi said Cruz Rivera’s passion for accessibility of education is truly personal to him. He makes complex issues click and make sense, she added.

“Who needs a white horse and shining armor when your knight has a spreadsheet,” Brusi said.

With another embrace from his wife, Cruz Rivera ended the ceremony by announcing his action plan to pave the way for what he called the new NAU.

“We will be recognized as the nation’s preeminent engine of opportunity, vehicle of economic mobility and driver of social impact,” Cruz Rivera said. “We will do so by expanding access, broadening perspectives, deepening connections and championing the freedom to inquire. We will succeed by thoughtful yet purposeful approaches that recognize change need not be slow to be steady nor disruptive to be meaningful.”

Cruz Rivera concluded his address by asking the audience if they were ready for the work that lies ahead. The question was met with a resounding yes and cheers from the crowd as they took to their feet to applaud

the new president.

The ceremony was followed by a reception in the north quad, a short walk from the auditorium. There, guests were met with food and drinks from cuisines local to Indigenous culture and Puerto Rico — Cruz Rivera’s birthplace.

Looking back at his speech, Cruz Rivera said the whole experience has been a big weight off his shoulders as he eyes the new tasks in front of him.

“It was an opportunity to really articulate what I have learned about this great university and where I think it can go,” Cruz Rivera said. “In part, also infused with my own lived experience, because at the end of the day, that is where you draw from. Especially where you draw from to put into context other people’s lived experiences.”

Cruz Rivera said his mother instilled in him as a young boy that education is the one thing that no one can take away. It has been that mindset that has led him to this moment, he added.

“It has been a serendipitous route to success and we really have a responsibility to make it easier so that talent can meet its opportunity and fully develop,” Cruz Rivera said. “Just a big weight off my shoulders, but I embrace it.”

“WHO NEEDS A WHITE HORSE AND SHINING ARMOR WHEN YOUR KNIGHT HAS A SPREADSHEET.”

PRIDE continued from FRONT

“As someone who was a young queer person, I graduated from Brigham Young University, I’ve dealt with communities and cultures that are not accepting of queer people and everything,” Gee said. “I understand how important it is to have those kinds of resources that the Trevor Project provides, and I think it’s just kind of special to be able to put on a race to raise funds for them.”

The Trevor Project, founded in 1998, provides information and support to LGBTQ+ youth 24/7 via its website or phone number. Its website contains a variety of services that are designed with queer youth in mind. Users can make friends and meet new people in online chatrooms and learn about sexuality, gender identity, coming out, mental health and more. Anyone seeking help is advised to contact the hotline and talk with the specially trained counselors on staff.

This year’s 5K was deemed a success by organizers, with over 220 racers in attendance in Flagstaff and many more participating in a virtual race, which saw racers across the world don the Pride 5K shirt and post their results online with a hashtag. Gee said the turnout was great, and she’s glad it went off without any issues.

“I’ve never done the permitting to close roads before, working with the police and you know, organizing everything with everyone, so it’s a little nerve wracking, but it’s also really beautiful,” Gee said. “Everyone was seriously so nice, and the community

was so welcoming and inclusive.”

Gee said she is thankful to the community and participants who helped make the race a success.

Two of the racers, Kevin Koski and John Raneri, were impressed by and happy with the race.

“It was a lot of fun,” Raneri said. “It’s nice to have a local race such as this to test your fitness and of course, have fun.”

Koski had a similar sentiment, although he said the race was challenging.

“Great atmosphere, tons of awesome runners and fans out on the course,” Koski said. “It hurt to run, but it was a good time.”

Raneri and Kaski came in sixth and seventh place respectively. Both runners said they were looking forward to returning next year.

“I’d absolutely come back,” Raneri said.

Koski said he, too, was eager to see what was next for Pride 5K in Flagstaff.

“I have a feeling it’s only going to grow,” Koski said. “I’d definitely be excited to come back.”

Any racers hoping to participate next year should keep an eye on the Pride 5K website, as Gee said they plan to continue holding the in-person race in Flagstaff.

“Nikki and I live here, we moved here in March,” Gee said. “I think this is always going to be a place that we want to do an in-person race for sure.”

Final results from the race, including placements and times, can be found online

Beer shortage predicted in the US

Ashortage in carbon dioxide could lead to a beer shortage in the United States this fall.

The driving factors behind this prediction include carbon dioxide contamination in Mississippi and difficulty finding suppliers.

Due to COVID-19-related supply chain issues, breweries are competing to find carbon dioxide — the gas pumped into beer for carbonation and to prevent oxygen from mixing into the liquid.

Devin Travers, owner of Ernie’s Inn sports bar in Scottsdale, said this could impact his business.

“If we weren’t able to obtain carbon dioxide, that would be a big problem, because that runs my soda guns and draft beer, so we would have to improvise by buying more bottled beer and cans, ‘’ Travers said. “This can affect money brought in by customers who are looking for draft beer.”

During the pandemic, carbon dioxide was one of many supply chain shortages, affecting breweries, restaurants, farmers and winemakers. This was partly caused by large amounts of dry ice required to transport COVID-19 vaccines.

According to the Brewers Association, an increased demand for beverages as well as carbon dioxide plants shutting down for maintenance also play a part.

Moreover, the contamination of one of the largest carbon dioxide manufacturers in the U.S. has contributed to the shortage. A manufacturer in Jackson, Mississippi had its carbon dioxide contaminated by an extinct volcano — the Jackson Dome — causing sulfur to contaminate the carbon dioxide. This has further reduced the supply of gas.

The Jackson Dome is a natural carbon source that holds carbon dioxide. According to Time, the owner of the site, Denbury Energy, had set out to drill new carbon dioxide wells, but the carbon dioxide was reported to have contaminates.

Small breweries may be the most affected by the shortage, while bigger manufacturers can recover carbon dioxide.

Craft brewers are more at risk because they do not have a recovery system which allows brewers to capture carbon dioxide produced during the fermentation process and reuse it for the carbonation.

According to Time, some breweries have been experimenting with nitrogen as an alternative, but nitro beer is less popular because it is more creamy and has less carbonation.

Flagstaff has 11 breweries, all of which could be affected by this shortage. Zach Deveuve, a quality technician at Mother Road Brewing Company said a carbon dioxide shortage could affect his work.

“We are fortunate enough to have carbon dioxide with the relationships we have built with suppliers, but it’s still scarce and is extremely expensive,” Deveuve said. “We have realized that a carbon dioxide shortage is a serious problem at every step of the brewing process.”

According to Top Data, beer consumption has gone up 8.92% in the U.S. since the pandemic. Moreover, there has been a 25% increase in sales. Beer prices have gone up 5% since last year, while food costs have gone up 11%.

Additionally, labor shortages, rising prices and obtaining raw materials are all challenging the brewing industry. The rise of people drinking beer at home during the pandemic caused an increased demand for aluminum cans, which contributed to limited supply and prices to increase.

“The company we buy our carbon dioxide from had about two weeks of no employees showing up to work, and they couldn’t sell their products, so we had to take our tanks down to their warehouse and get them filled there,” Travers said.

The North American barley harvest is also affecting costs and production volumes. The Bulk Brewing and Beer Supply Company stated the 2021 barley harvest had a lower crop volume than 2020, raising the price of malted barley.

Many carbon dioxide suppliers have stopped taking on new customers to save products for their long-time clients. Even then, carbon dioxide suppliers have trouble promising product deliveries to any customers.

“We have noticed an influx of trucks, either transporting our product or supplying us with grain and material, being late on their deliveries which affects the timing of our brewing process,” Deveuve said.

The beer industry is not the only one facing these challenges. Other food and beverage industries depend on carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide helps quickly chill foods that will be frozen. Cold cuts, fresh meat and frozen foods could all be affected.

Due to a lack of carbon dioxide and supply and demand issues, those who drink beer may notice rising prices and a limited selection of beer.

Sawmill County Park renamed

The former Sawmill Multicultural Art and Nature County Park, now known as the Elizabeth “Liz” C. Archuleta County Park, was renamed in honor of the former board member. The tribute is for her leadership and service while serving on the Coconino County Board of Supervisors.

Archuleta is a fourth-generation resident of Flagstaff. She came from a Hispanic pioneer family and is the granddaughter of one of the first Hispanic business owners in Flagstaff. Archuleta was the first Latina and youngest person to serve on the Coconino County Board of Supervisors.

The dedication ceremony for the renaming of the park was on Aug. 13 and honored Archuleta’s former leadership and service to the community.

Archuleta represented District 2 on the board of supervisors for 24 years. The current District 2 representative, Jeronimo Vasquez, spoke of Archuleta’s legacy.

“She was very instrumental for starting the different diversity councils,” Vasquez said. “She was also very instrumental in response to the Schultz Fire in 2010 by providing mitigation for that area with federal funding.”

Archuleta focused on numerous different programs around the city for agriculture as well as councils for minority groups. She said her reasoning behind starting these councils was to make sure minority groups have a voice in the community and have their issues addressed.

Additionally, she played a large role in the National Association of Latino Elected Officials.

The park was originally named after one of the first sawmills in Flagstaff, which operated from 1908 to 1993.

The news flash released by Coconino County discussed the partnership with Willow Bend Environmental Education Center and the park. The mission of the center is to provide environmental awareness through education outreach services.

Cynthia Nemeth, the director of Coconino County Parks and Recreation, gave an overview of the center.

“Willow Bend offers many programs from their building for the community,” Nemeth said. “They also offer programming throughout the school district within the area, so they bring the environmental programs to the students of Flagstaff.”

OPINION

You can "Be Real" without the app

MARIA RODRIGUEZ

BeReal has two minutes of fame remaining before its trendiness runs out.

YouTube is not a dying platform

Social media has become a major part of our lives, whether we like it or not.

And it seems that every day, platforms like TikTok and Twitter are overflowing with content, even more than the previous day.

It feels like social media platforms are always on a trend of coming and going, but there is one site that has always stayed relevant: YouTube. This is because there are no other platforms that are similar to YouTube, with the freedom to post countless hours of content and for no charge.

YouTube is an online videosharing platform that was founded on Feb. 14, 2005, in San Mateo, California.

YouTube has remained constant throughout the rise of social media and has managed to stay on top as one of the most visited sites ever, with an average of 122 million active users daily. Recently, however, I have heard people saying YouTube is dying, and no one watches YouTube anymore.

I’m here to tell you that is completely false.

Many people will contend that YouTube peaked in the 2015 to 2017 era and died soon after. This is a very popular opinion because to many, it felt like the peak of YouTube, with Generation Z growing up and being very impressionable to the internet.

YouTubers like Bethany Mota, who is a lifestyle YouTuber, were getting insanely popular, with videos easily reaching 16 million views

Now, Mota only gets around 100,000 views. It’s easy to think this shows YouTube is not as popular anymore, but I say it has pivoted toward different types of content, and its main audience has grown up, so they do not like the same videos anymore.

Looking at the statistics, YouTube is doing better than it ever has.

In 2016, the annual number of YouTube viewers was 1.4 billion, but in 2021 the annual number of users grew to 2.6 billion. In only five years, the platform nearly doubled its average users per year.

Now that it’s established YouTube is in no danger of dying, you might still think it will die eventually. But I know it isn’t going anywhere in the future.

YouTube has increased in popularity each year, while other platforms have failed.

A great example of the site’s reliability is when Vine shut down in 2016. Vine creators didn’t know what to do with their content, so many went to YouTube and thrived. Most viral YouTubers started as Vine stars and are still on YouTube to this day. Danny Gonzalez, who was a popular Viner, now makes YouTube content for over five million followers. With his videos getting an average of 6 million views, he is reaching many more viewers than he ever was on Vine.

So, when the next social media app crashes and burns like Byte, which was trying to be the better version of Vine. The app creators wanted Viners to transition to Byte, but people chose YouTube instead.

Everyone will always go back to YouTube, whether it be in search of a makeup tutorial or a music video. No one does longform video content better than YouTube creators.

YouTube is good at staying relevant because there isn't another website like it; it also has no competition and no other social media apps trying to copy its features.

If you personally think that YouTube is dead, then you aren’t finding all the interesting content the platform has to offer. YouTube isn’t dying right now, nor will it ever, as its legacy is unmatched.

While the French social media app BeReal has been a platform since 2020, this past year it blew up, now with over 10 million downloads and a user demographic of mostly 16to 24-year-olds.

BeReal is a social media app designed to prompt users to take a photo each day at a random time, posting an image from the user’s front phone camera while taking a picture of what’s in front of them to share with their friends.

However, despite the platform’s growing popularity, BeReal is the latest social media software taking away our attention from people and events that matter, especially when we already spend countless hours on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat.

In 2021 alone, Statista, a platform providing consumer data, found that globally, users spend an average of 145 minutes daily on social media. These minutes may not seem like much, but this equates to over a month of our lives wasted on social media consumption each year.

Although some might argue that BeReal doesn’t take up too much time with the twominute countdown, the app sends users daily notifications to share what they’re doing. It can cause many people to spend more time preoccupied with the thoughts of what they want to show off on BeReal and even spend time posting those pictures on their other social media accounts.

Users can always turn off notifications from the app in their phone’s settings, but if they’re not using the platform to take their daily pictures, then they could miss the prompted time to post.

With the distraction that BeReal offers, we don't need yet another platform aimed to grab people’s attention all the time and provide a series of unrealistic expectations for younger audiences.

For an app that promotes being realistic and living in the moment, it's just an opportunity for people to one-up each other or solidify their cliques. How is that real?

It’s even become a trend to post your best BeReals on TikTok or other platforms to flaunt their most exciting experiences.

The app started with an intention of having users post authentic photos and enabling them to see what their friends are doing — which is, at best, boring or, at worst, dangerous, with people driving while taking their BeReal

One BeReal user, Alex, shared his posts on TikTok to show viewers that his parking brake light was on in the picture, but few were concerned in the comments that he was going over 75 mph while taking his photo.

Some other BeReal users commented on his video, sharing that they also had similar experiences while taking their pictures for the day.

“I tried to BeReal at a stoplight once and got pulled over and got a ticket … missed my BeReal that day,” user @em.schulzie shared.

Another user, @anasofiavv1, commented

on the video sharing their experience as they were taking their photo for the app, “then my brake line snapped and I crashed.”

It seems like BeReal brings out the best in people and sets their priorities straight, as long as people are okay with getting hurt or causing damage.

It’s not an ideal example for impressionable young adults to see on a constant basis. Two minutes needed to take a photo for BeReal while driving can change everything in an instant.

I’m certainly not going to put my life on hold every day to obsess over an app and waste my time for the cutest BeReal.

When users are distracted by the need to post for their BeReals, they're wasting their time and eating away at the little mindfulness we get each day in our technology-driven world.

If you're genuinely being mindful and living in the moment with friends or nature, you don't need the BeReal culture holding you back. Let's be honest; being real doesn't take a social media app telling you to post once a day. If you want to be real, be mentally present with people, set the phone down or save yourself some app space by uninstalling the unnecessary.

Maybe I could see the appeal of BeReal if it was unique, but it’s like a private Instagram story or Snapchat.

Overall, we don't need BeReal, the latest ploy for popularity, particularly when it gets closer to Instagram’s filtered photos and unrealistic expectations from each day’s posts.

The clock is ticking on BeReal’s fame, and there’s no filter to cover up the overrated app’s problematic culture. There’s no need to take photos each day, and not everything will be exciting or picture-perfect.

If you want to take a photo to document an exciting moment, go for it and send it to your friends; there’s no need for constant notifications or pressure to post.

I know it’s tempting to post everything that happens in life, but it’s unhealthy to obsess over an app that enables users to pause their life, regardless of how important or dangerous it might be.

Good intentions aside, users will see the app’s true colors any day now, and BeReal’s time in the spotlight will be up. BeReal will no longer be real.

BeReal brings friends together

EMILY GERDES

The first time I heard about BeReal was at the beginning of 2022. I would be hanging out with two of my friends, and they would always ask, “Do you want to be in my BeReal?”

The answer was always a resounding yes.

Since I am a photographer and oversee a few social media accounts, I try to stay updated on trends. However, this app was one trend I hadn’t heard much about, nor did I understand the point of it. I was pretty oblivious to the entire process at the time.

Fast forward to the beginning of August, my friends began to mention the app to me again and persuaded me to give it a try. Little did I know it would quickly become one of the most exciting times of my day.

For those who are unfamiliar with the sensational app that has taken over college campuses and most of Europe, it’s a pretty simple concept.

At a different time every day, everyone with the BeReal app gets a notification giving them two minutes to take a front and back camera photo. You can post a photo after the two-minute window, but then it is considered late and then generally frowned upon.

You can’t edit your BeReal, and you can’t post more than once a day. This makes the content created on the platform very intimate, encouraging people to keep their circle of BeReal friends to those who are closest to them.

The app contains no advertisements, and people can’t monetize their content like they can on other platforms.

As deep as my love of BeReal goes, I do have one critique. I believe it would be great if the front and back cameras went off at the same time. I think it would add an extra layer of realness to the entire app.

I appreciate how different this form of media is from mainstream social media apps, where influencers are paid millions of dollars to advertise a brand or product. I can scroll through my feed without being bombarded with sponsorships.

Not being able to perfectly curate a post on this app makes me feel liberated. Between keeping up a social media presence for myself and then for the organizations I run accounts for, it can be overwhelming to spend all day creating posts and content — especially if that content is aimed at simply gaining a high level of engagement. On BeReal, those things don't matter.

The lack of stress from not having to keep up followers, likes or a profile is the best feeling ever. But I still get the joy of sharing my life and getting to see others.

On BeReal, I can share a moment of my day with a collective group of friends. And then, in return, I get to see what they are doing!

Plus, I have the option to comment or take another selfie to react to one of my friends' BeReal.

It is also nice how the app takes up such a little amount of time throughout the day. I get the notification, take a selfie, check back in a few minutes later to see what my friends are up to, react to a few BeReals and then move on with my day.

The content on this app is not being consistently curated throughout the day. The cycle of content ends after everyone uploads their daily post. Yet, the social discourse this app has created permeates the entirety of society.

After viewing my friend’s BeReals, I can then compliment them on how creative their BeReal was or bring up the book they were reading when BeReal went off. I find it fascinating how this little social media app can contribute and translate into meaningful in-person interactions.

Although people complain about the timeliness of BeReal, I find it humbling. It is nice to know that my expectation of what people are doing at any given moment is not always accurate. The rest of the world spends just as much time as me studying, watching TV or doing some other mundane activity.

I experience so much amusement and adrenaline when I get to watch my friends take a BeReal with our other friends or when I get to take a BeReal on a beautiful hike.

The dopamine rush that comes with the app may be problematic, but it’s also what I and others love about it. It is the same type of dopamine rush that comes when you are with a group of friends, and they pull out a phone for a selfie. It’s the sense of memories being made and documenting a good time to reflect on.

It also offers a very unique memory catalog of past BeReals, making it simple for users to look back and see previous BeReals.

The speed at which the app has taken off is remarkable. Google Trend searches for BeReal skyrocketed around the end of May, and the app has remained at the top of the App Store since July.

Another essential part of this app is the community aspect; you can’t see your friend's BeReals until you post your own. If you don’t post on a certain day, you don’t get to see everyone else's BeReals.

If you haven’t gotten the chance to explore the beauty of BeReal, I encourage you to give it a try. I am confident you will be pleasantly surprised.

MY STORY continued from FRONT

“I was misinformed,” Campeau said. “They told me that there were options, as in holding his degree until the case was finished… I had been thinking in my head, like, ‘They’re not gonna allow him to graduate. There’s rules around that.’”

This was not the case.

Seven months after she filed for a case against her rapist, Campeau received an email. Robert Zbikowski, the Senior Associate Dean of Student Life informed her that since her assailant had graduated, the case would be paused until he re-enrolls.

“ ... the University’s records reveal that [the assailant’s] status as a Northern Arizona University student has changed,” the email stated. “For this reason, the investigation process cannot continue at this time. If the enrollment status of [the person who assaulted Campeau] changes in the future, the possibility exists for the University to resume this process.”

Title IX’s handling of her case was disappointing and a difficult process to endure, Campeau said. The case took so long, it mentally exhausted her.

“I had a lot of faith in the university, and honestly, I don’t know why I did,” Campeau said. “It was such a vague email. It was like a slap in the face, as I had so much hope for seven months that I would get some sort of justice, just to get that.”

Her disappointment in her treatment by the school, she said, allowed her to come to a realization for her future children.

“I know for sure if I have a daughter, I'm not sending her to a school [whose] Title IX is as disorganized as NAU,” Campeau said.

Known among friends for never being quick to anger, Campeau said she found herself furious at the university and the fraternity — both of which let her down.

She spent the following months coping with the notion that her assailant was not going to be punished for his actions. During this time, she learned about rumors spread during the investigation.

Campeau said her assailant’s fraternity was aware of his actions, and yet, they proceeded to believe their fellow fraternity member’s innocence. The fraternity members told other students they had spoken to Campeau and heard her side of the story, Campeau said.

“I never gave them my story,” she said. “I never talked to anyone in that frat … They’re framing it to look like they were hearing my side, [like] they were hearing his side, [like] it was a fair thing.”

“I eventually found out through people that my name had been exploited throughout their fraternity,” Campeau said. “I can’t explain how uncomfortable that makes me, to know people think they know my story better than I do, and they have the audacity to call me a liar.”

Campeau suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. The knowledge that her name was released within the fraternity did little to help the fear she now had to face while trying to pursue her education.

While she attended classes on campus last year, Campeau said she was constantly on edge, fearing that someone close to her assailant would try to contact her. Campeau said she still feels intimidated by the fraternity.

Much like with Title IX, Campeau was left unsatisfied by the Interfraternity Council’s (IFC) treatment of the case.

Though Campeau said there are members of the Panhellenic council who are working to see justice, they are unable to punish the fraternities. Instead, they encourage women involved in Greek life to take safety precautions.

Grace Akhbari, the Panhellenic Council president, commented on the matter.

“The Panhellenic Executive Board are strong advocates against sexual assault and understand the reality of this occurring at different events,” Akhbari said. “We make sure to educate our women to promote their safety to, from and at events and encourage a community where each person is willing to help those in need.”

As for what the IFC does to help women who have been assaulted by members of fraternities, Campeau said there seem to be no punishments given.

“There’s nothing that stops [fraternities]; there’s nothing that holds them accountable,” Campeau said.

“It’s just a talk or a slap on the wrist with the fraternity men on campus.”

Campeau has experienced the glorification of fraternities on campus and said she believes it is likely the same at all colleges. Not only does the IFC turn a blind eye to the real dangers of their parties, she said, but so do students.

Campeau said she believes when issues of assault come up, students who side with the fraternities are choosing to ignore the possibility of it happening to them.

“I’ve seen a lot of people basically conform to these fraternities,” Campeau said. “They will believe anything that they do. It’s just giving [the fraternities] so much power, and it's disturbing.”

She said people tend to ignore the idea of sexual assault, believing they will not fall victim to the crime, until they do. Campeau feels this way because she said she has been in the exact position as those students.

Since she was raped, Campeau said she has stopped seeing fraternities as safe places to let her guard down and instead has begun to see them for the threats they can be.

“We created a culture at NAU, and in general, that conforms to what the norm is, and that norm at NAU is silence,” Campeau said.

Title IX and the fraternity both contributed to the handling of Campeau's case. Throughout the investigation, her rapist continued attending NAU, as well as participated in Greek life.

Campeau said both Title IX and the fraternity are aware of the situation and still did nothing to help her get the justice she needed.

Elyce Morris, the Title IX coordinator, was available for comment.

“Many student organizations have their own bylaws and procedures for addressing sexual misconduct, and the university has no oversight of processes internal to a particular student organization, unless the process somehow violates an NAU policy,” Morris said.

Even so, Campeau said she was disappointed in the university and the fraternity’s efforts to bring her rapist to justice.

"The fact that there are people in charge that are trained to handle these situations and they just, again, keep slipping them under the rug is just another slap in the face,” Campeau said. “It’s difficult to be betrayed by NAU and want to be here at this point … it's disappointing.”

In the aftermath of Campeau’s battle against her rapist, she said it began to feel like a battle against the university as well.

Campeau said she was not supported in the way she imagined which caused her to second guess things she knew were true about the assault.

“I couldn’t even look at myself without clothes on for a really long time because it just kept reminding me I had no control in that situation and that I felt really alone,” Campeau said.

After she became vocal about her assault, Campeau said women came to her sharing their own stories. They told her about other men in fraternities who did the same to them and even, on a few occasions, accusations against the same fraternity. She said she realized she was not alone.

Campeau said she was fueled by the solidarity from fellow survivors and her anger at how Title IX and the fraternity treated her case. She said she knew she had to reclaim her story.

“I feel like my story wasn’t my story for a long time,” Campeau said.

To make her story her own once again, Campeau said it was time to start an uncomfortable conversation about the threat of sexual assault.

“If I bring up these uncomfortable discussions with people, I found out a lot of women on our campus were actually just willing to talk about their experiences — it's almost like a light went off in their head,” Campeau said. “They were beaming to actually share, ‘me too.’”

Campeau shared her story in hopes to defeat the stigma against survivors of sexual assault and to encourage survivors to seek out a path that leads to justice. She said she implores others to have this uncomfortable conversation.

Cline Library MakerLab:One-stop shop

The MakerLab in Cline Library is a creative center open to the community that allows members to access low- and high-tech tools. The lab features 20 MakerBot 3D printers, a variety of craft materials, electronic prototyping tools and much more.

The lab has been open since 2016 and was partially funded by the Arizona State Library, which awarded over $69,000 to Cline Library.

Emily Wesling, the experiential learning librarian at Cline Library, helps out at the lab by overseeing the creation spaces at the library and working with faculty who want to incorporate maker technology into their classes.

The MakerLab was created in order to fill the demand for 3D printing as a service in town, Wesling said.

“I believe we are the only maker space … certainly in the Flagstaff area,” Wesling said.

The lab is open 24 hours on weekdays, and the space is staffed between roughly 12 p.m. to 7 p.m., Wesling said. Employees are able to offer assistance during this time, but the equipment remains available to use throughout all hours of the day, even if there is no one around to answer questions. Wesling provides consultations to anyone looking for a more in-depth instruction on how to use the lab equipment.

On a daily basis, the lab sees about 25-50 students, Wesling said. However, this number is likely to increase if a class uses the lab.

A variety of classes on campus use the lab to make creations. Some classes that use the lab include English, health sciences, engineering and visual communications. Some classes use the lab to learn 3D printing while others use the virtual reality program.

“In addition to classes, we also sometimes have events in the MakerLab,” Wesling said. “For example, last week we had a make-your-own custom pencil bag event that was hosted with the Academic Success Center.”

At the event, students were able to use the Cricut machine in order to make their own pencil cases.

Wesling said the lab is constantly producing different 3D print models due to the students who come in and use the equipment. When people upload their files, the information gets stored in the lab’s database, and the staff are then able to track what gets made.

“In October of last year, we had a total of 264 prints … that's eight and a half prints per day,” Wesling said.

November is the lab’s busiest month. It sees an increase in prints before finals week because a lot of printing projects are due before the end of the month, Wesling said.

Sharayah Ross, a senior math education major, uses the MakerLab’s whiteboards in order to work out her math problems. She uses other materials in the lab to make her lesson plans and has used the lab’s resources to make a costume for her godson. She described herself as a crafty person.

“This was my go-to place for a while because I like that it’s in Cline and has all the resources everywhere ,” Ross said. “It’s kind of tucked away from everywhere.”

The lab offers craft materials, a full tool box, a laminator, sewing machines, button makers, Cricut Machines, an iron, jewelry making kits and Raspberry Pi and Arduino software for computer programming. These programs allow students to practice coding.

While most of the equipment offered at the MakerLab is for onsite use only, equipment like the Cricut machines can be checked out at the front desk and taken home. Anyone over the age of 18 or anyone accompanied by an adult can use the lab, Wesling said.

“A lot of people don’t know you actually don’t have to be a student to use the MakerLab,” Wesling said. “We are open to the community, so even if you are not affiliated with the university in any way, you can still utilize the MakerLab and many of the tools that are in there.”

Kathryn Bezue said she likes to come in and get homework done at the MakerLab. If she had the time, she would use some of the other materials in the lab, she said. She added she finds it very easy for students to come in and use the lab's resources and ask the front desk if they need any assistance.

“My favorite part is the fact that it is air conditioned,” Bezue said. “I come in here because it is extremely cool.”

To 3D print at the lab, community members don’t need to know how to design a model from scratch. MakerLab utilizes Thingiverse, a free website they can use to download 3D print files. In order to print at the lab, users create their own design or upload one from Thingiverse. All a student needs to do in order to print is fill out the form on the library website, upload a file request to the MakerLab and pay the cost to print and

pick up their item, Wesling said.

“Once you submit the form, our team will process it and send you a price estimate as well as a print time estimate,” Wesling said. “You’ll pay for it online using a credit or debit card. Once it completes printing, we will send you an email telling you it's ready. There's actually a pick-up shelf in the MakerLab where you can just go and grab your print — you don’t even have to speak to anyone if you don’t want to.”

To anyone who is nervous to start 3D printing, Wesling offered some words of advice.

“It's not as hard as it seems,” Wesling said. “Before I worked at the library, I had never 3D-printed anything, I had barely just kind of heard of it. But once I did it, I realized it's not as hard as it seemed like it would be, and it's super fun.”

For those wanting to use the lab but are unsure of how to get started, Wesling suggested coming in and exploring all the lab has to offer. Wesling said coming in and exploring what types of projects spark a community member’s interest.

Sometimes students can be seen working on different projects but talking with one another and helping each other out despite the fact they do not know each other, creating a collaborative space in the community, Wesling said.

The MakerLab is constantly looking to feature student creations. If students want to contribute their designs to the display case, the lab is interested in taking in their prints, Wesling said.

The MakerLab provides the Flagstaff community with a collaborative workshop that is free to use. Community members are able to come into Cline Library, use the space to work or access the creative tools in order to work on projects.

A glimpse into Hurricane Fiona

In the center of Puerto Rico, 80 mph winds from Hurricane Fiona battered the walls of the Corozal Saint Joseph convent.

Inside, nun and private-school teacher Sister Sol María del CarmenSalgado has stocked up on necessities — bread, crackers, milk and canned goods that wouldn’t be damaged by wind and rain. With her is an emergency backpack stocked with medicine and provisions.

On most Sundays, Carmen-Salgado would be assisting Mass at the Saint Joseph convent, but midday on Sept. 18, Hurricane Fiona descended on the small town of Cabo Rojo and spread devastating winds and rain throughout Puerto Rico.

“Almost all the rivers have raised and flooded,” Carmen-Salgado said. “It has been a catastrophe in many communities.”

Two days after the five-year anniversary of Hurricane Maria, Hurricane Fiona knocked out energy throughout the island, reaching wind speeds of 115 mph and rainfall up to 32 inches. The damages to Puerto Rico’s electrical grid have caused school closures throughout the island and persistent blackouts. Damages from the hurricane are estimated to reach as high as $700 million in Canada and the Caribbean.

NAU President José Luis Cruz Rivera and his partner, Dr. Rima Brusi, professor of anthropology, grew up in Puerto Rico. Their hometown, Mayaquez, was flooded and lost electricity during the storm.

“As it tends to happen, the poorest areas that were close to the coast have received the harshest impact and are still in pretty bad shape,” Brusi said.

Brusi said the people most affected by these climate changes are typically the people who influence climate change the least. Lower income areas, and people that contribute least to the harmful greenhouse gas emissions, are less likely to afford medical bills, repairs and costs associated with climate change adaptation efforts.

In Puerto Rico, where nearly 44% of the population lives below the poverty line, many homes do not have the infrastructure to resist intense tropical storms.

“The homes were not super strong to begin with,” Brusi said.

Additionally, public schools and university classes throughout Brusi’s home region have been suspended as power outages persist throughout Puerto Rico.

Arturo Massol-Deyá, executive director of one of Puerto Rico’s largest nonprofits, Casa Pueblo, said storms like Hurricane Fiona will become more frequent as climate change warms the oceans of the Caribbean.

“The Caribbean is the corridor of hurricanes, and global warming is like fuel for

those storms to be stronger, more frequent,” Massol-Deyá said.

These hurricanes powered by warmer water also mean more rainfall. Increased water temperature and more rainfall heightens the risk of tropical disease and food insecurity in affected areas, Massol-Deyá said.

Climate models from the Third National Climate Assessment project an increase in the number of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes as climate change warms the oceans, and forms more powerful hurricanes and storms.

Some of the most powerful hurricanes in the last few years, such as Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Florence, formed in waters warmer than average An increase of one degree in ocean surface temperature can increase the power of tropical storms — such as in the case of Hurricane Harvey.

Hurricane Florence, which started in the Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of Africa, was formed by waters two degrees warmer than usual. The Category 4 hurricane caused significant flooding across the southeastern United States, resulting in approximately $24 billion in damages

Roughly 60 miles northeast of Mayaguez, Sister Carmen-Salgado’s town of Corozal has still not fully recovered from the damage of Hurricane Maria in 2017. Carmen-Salgado recalled the blue tents being used as makeshift ceilings to keep out rain.

“Many families lost everything, their appliances and their home, and because there is no water, there is no way to clean,” Carmen-Salgado said.

As a teacher in the Saint Joseph convent for 40 years, Carmen-Salgado said she wants to bring truth to her students, guide her students to their life purpose and help them be good people of the future.

Recurring natural disasters, Carmen-Salgado said, have made it hard for students to keep up with school curriculum.

“We have students in second and third grade that are very behind in the courses,” Carmen-Salgado said. “Some of them do not know the basics in reading, and it’s been hard for the teachers to put them on the level they should be.”

Massol-Deyá said many young people and professionals have moved to the continental U.S. to seek job opportunities. The devastation of Hurricane Maria damaged the Puerto Rican economy, leading to an unemployment rate of 10.8% in 2017 and high migration rates

“We have lost 6% or more of the population in the past 10 years,” Massol-Deyá said. “Most of them are youth.”

Brusi said school closures, natural disasters and the government’s shaping of

JORJA

Fiona and climate change realities

Puerto Rico’s economy does not foster job and education opportunities for young people.

“They don’t have a lot of prospects, which I think is part of the reason they are leaving,” Brusi said.

Schools throughout Puerto Rico have been closed as a result of budget cuts, forcing students to consolidate into fewer schools. Brusi said the large distances between schools and homes have made it difficult for students to attend these schools — especially when tropical storms cause flooding, mudslides and trees to fall across roads.

The widespread destruction leads Puerto Rico to rely heavily on the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for repairs, Carmen-Salgado said, though FEMA’s response to Hurricane Maria was heavily criticized

In preparation for Hurricane Fiona, FEMA deployed five Incident Management Teams and two Urban Search and Rescue teams to Puerto Rico.

Additionally, President Joe Biden approved a Major Disaster Declaration on Sept. 18 and retroactive federal funding for recovery efforts such as debris removal, grants for temporary housing and home repairs. In a Sept. 22 press release, FEMA’s top priorities will be to restore power and water systems to the island.

However, Massol-Deyá said Puerto Rico’s reliance on the U.S. government’s federal aid and electricity structures leaves Puerto Rico vulnerable to exploitation and the legacy of colonialism

“The colonial legacy is poverty … energy dependency, the fossil fuel infrastructure that is extractive in not only Puerto Rico, but in the whole region [of the Caribbean],” Massol-Deyá said.

Puerto Rico has the second highest electricity cost in the U.S. at 33 cents per kilowatt. Massol-Deyá said high energy costs are an example of why Casa Pueblo is

building energy resilience and independence in Puerto Rico through the installation of solar panels.

Solar power allows Puerto Ricans free, natural energy and saves money citizens would normally spend on high-cost fossil fuels.

“Instead of from the utility, it is being produced by themselves,” Massol-Deyá said. “They are paying themselves for the power, for operation and maintenance.”

As a result of Casa Pueblo’s work, 6% of the energy being consumed in Puerto Rico is being produced by the people using solar panels and renewable energy sources.

During natural disasters like Hurricane Fiona, Casa Pueblo provides relief to affected communities through cultural events like mental health clinics, solarpowered movie nights for children, workshops on solar power and charging stations for electronic devices.

“Casa Pueblo has become, again, an energy oasis,” Massol-Deyá said.

As federal aid is granted to Puerto Rico through FEMA, Carmen-Salgado said she hopes aid efforts are done correctly and the government properly uses resources — as many resources for Hurricane Maria were mismanaged under the Trump administration.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Fiona, Casa Pueblo continues to provide relief and sustainable energy options for the people of Puerto Rico. Information about Casa Pueblo’s projects and support options can be found on the organization’s website

“After a hurricane, people in Puerto Rico are very tired,” Brusi said. “They are tired of dying, of being left behind, not being treated right. Sometimes when everything is dark, it's really nice to know that Casa Pueblo is not dark.”

“AFTER A HURRICANE, PEOPLE IN PUERTO RICO ARE VERY TIRED. THEY ARE TIRED OF DYING, OF BEING LEFT BEHIND, NOT BEING TREATED RIGHT. SOMETMES WHEN EVERYTHING IS DARK, IT'S REALLY NICE TO KNOW THAT CASA PUEBLO IS NOT DARK”

Hey, it’s Jessie:) I’m currently a Graphic Design major trying to make it through junior year in one piece, with my sanity intact. I’ve always enjoyed making art and the process of creating something from nothing but it wasn’t until the end of high school that I discovered the world of graphic design and realized I could pursue an art-related career without being completely broke and miserable in a nine to five cubicle job. I’m very grateful that NAU and The Lumberjack have given me both a chance to expand my experience and have a community here in Flagstaff.

At peace

CAMILLE SIPPLE

When I die, And take my final breath

All I ask is you lay me to rest under a beautiful tree that, Though it may not be green every moment of the year, Provides an evergreen calm to my aching bones. Let the roots wrap around my body like a blanket. Let my bones turn to dust and enrich the earth above.

Let flowers grow upon my grave. Let squirrels play in the branches above and chatter without worry of waking me.

When I am gone, Lay me quietly beneath that beautiful tree, Take a deep breath, And know that I am at peace.

CULTURE

An evening out with President Cruz Rivera

Manipulation and mania fit for a housewife

Last weekend marked the premiere of the long-awaited film “Don’t Worry Darling,” starring Florence Pugh opposite Harry Styles.

The movie tells the story of Jack and Alice Chambers, a seemingly perfect couple living in the utopian community of Victory in the 1950s. Jack works at the Victory Project, the company that the community was built around. Alice lives in a state of blissful conformity, spending her days gossiping, donning party dresses and being a homemaker for her devoted husband.

Members of The Lumberjack editorial staff were invited to attend the installation ceremony of NAU President José Luis Cruz Rivera.

HALLI SMITH CULTURE WRITER

When it’s revealed that there may be more to the community than cocktail parties and pot roasts, Alice begins to worry that there may be something off about her husband’s company and its charismatic leader, Frank. The film follows Alice as she seeks to uncover the true nature of her residence at Victory, as well as what goes on behind the company’s closed doors.

When talk of the film first began to circulate, it generated a lot of buzz. Although Harry Styles is not new to the silver screen, with small roles in Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” and Marvel’s “Eternals,” this film was his first lead role. The prospect of Harry Styles as a leading man left his fans beside themselves with excitement.

The film’s premiere tour also stirred up publicity for the movie and cast, as there was thought to be drama among some of the cast members. Between Styles allegedly spitting on costar Chris Pine and Florence Pugh not heavily promoting the movie, many were intrigued by the film.

Due to the media spotlight placed on the film, it was difficult to go in blind. I didn’t know what to expect as a self-proclaimed movie connoisseur. As a devoted Harry Styles fan, I’ll admit, I was nervous, but I left the theater pleasantly surprised. Thank you, Olivia Wilde.

Wilde’s first directorial feature, “Booksmart,” is one of my favorite comingof-age films. It’s wickedly funny, smart and sentimental, a love letter to Generation Z kids everywhere.

In contrast, “Don’t Worry Darling” is packed with chilling imagery, experimental camera shots and artful cinematography. Wilde conjures up a tale of a dystopian society that thrives on patriarchal standards, lies and conformity. The sentiment of the film is not necessarily new, but Wilde’s depiction of gaslighting, coupled with perceptive motifs and foreshadowing, is truly unsettling.

Wilde casted Pugh as the lead after watching her performance in “Midsommar,” Ari Aster’s 2019 horror film. While Pugh leaves no doubt she can tackle any role, her mastery of the horror genre is delightfully evident. Pugh gives a compelling performance in “Don’t Worry Darling” as her character does whatever it takes to uncover the truth behind the Victory Project. Pugh illustrates the terror of being lied to by those you care about and depicts the madness that can overtake when you’re consistently watered down.

Alice’s husband, Jack, takes on the true role of a 1950s breadwinner, and chops Alice’s very real fears up to hysteria. Whenever Alice voices concern, she is silenced and reminded that she’s been given this life by Jack.

In contrast to Pugh’s captivating performance, Styles falls flat. His character seems to only exist to strip Alice of her independence, and to play the role of a misogynistic husband who gaslights and manipulates his wife at every turn. While the idea of a loving husband with other motives is exciting, his sinister underbelly does not shine through, and his character is painfully onedimensional, there only to create the plot and highlight Pugh’s performance.

While the plot was not completely original, reminiscent of 1950s housewife mania and Stepford-esque themes, the story was truly captivating, and the film wildly entertaining, a psychological thriller with a twist ending that will have you leaving the theater dumbfounded.

“Don’t Worry Darling” begs the question, “How far would you go to have the perfect life?”

Students try their luck at Lotería Night

On Sept. 28, the Office of Inclusion hosted a Lotería night. Participants gathered in the University Union Fieldhouse starting from 6 p.m., where they were greeted by staff for an evening of games, prizes and food.

The event was organized by the Office of Inclusion, in collaboration with Transfer Jacks. Transfer Jacks coordinator Katherine Lawlor explained the reasoning behind this partnership.

“When it comes to transfer students on this campus, 40% are students of color, and 50% are first-generation college students,” Lawlor explained. “So we’re gonna have students who are transfers who are gonna be passionate about this event. We are also an HSI — Hispanic Serving Institution — so it’s our responsibility to collaborate and make sure we’re promoting events that are celebrating Hispanic heritage month.”

Lotería is a traditional Mexican game of chance similar to bingo, but rather than numbers, the cards are filled with various illustrations, each accompanied by a descriptor in Spanish.

Students were given a card each and split into small groups, each of which was assigned a card reader, who would draw from a deck. If that corresponded to an illustration on the students’ card, they would place a bean on the illustration.

Lawlor explained that the reason for playing in smaller groups rather than one big one was to give students the chance to socialize while playing the game.

“There are essentially 10 different games going on at one time,” Lawlor said. “It’s not an event where one big group is focusing on one caller, we actually have small groups going on, so I think that’s fun because people can get to know each other at the table, rather than just listen to the caller the entire time.”

For many students, including freshman Arly Tchou, the event was not only a chance to have fun and win some prizes, but also a way to socialize with peers.

“I thought, why not just try and meet new people?” Tchou said. “This is our first year as well, so it’s better to meet people now, so it’s really good that there’s lots of opportunity to do that.”

As well as playing Lotería, students enjoyed a selection of foods, including empanadas, Mexican candy and Takis.

“We [have] the Takis and the Mexican candy to make sure that we’re bringing food that students are going to enjoy at this event, as well,” Lawlor said.

Not only was the food an homage to the traditional culture, but so were many of the prizes available to those participating, which included cultural stickers, Dia de los Muertos coffee mugs and more.

Vidal Mendoza, assistant director of Hispanic and Latine student services explained the reasoning behind

the decision to host this event.

“Lotería has been around since my parents were kids, my grandparents were kids, my great grandparents, too,” Mendoza said. “So many students also have very fond memories of playing it together with their family, and what I’m hoping is that even though they are away from home and they may be feeling homesick, it’ll bring good memories and also create a sense of belonging.”

One of the many students who felt a sense of nostalgia having grown up playing Lotería was sophomore Lindsey Cardenas.

“It is a very traditional game,” Cardenas said. “In my family we love to play it, you know, plenty of families do as well.”

Freshman Emily Zamora also explained how the game holds a special meaning to her.

“Since I was a little kid I’ve played this game during family gatherings and stuff like that,” Zamora said. “So I just thought I was missing my home, my family, my friends, so I thought maybe this will bring me that feeling.”

The event aimed to create a sense of community among students, not only those who identify as part of the Hispanic community, but also for those who simply wanted to learn more about different cultures.

CULTURE

Newly minted Presidential Speaker Series aims to educate about solar solidarity

MONTY GANTT

On Sept. 27, NAU hosted the first ever edition of the “Presidential Speaker Series” at the School of Music’s Kitt Recital Hall. The guest speaker for the evening was Arturo Massol-Deyá, a biologist and author who serves as the chairman of Casa Pueblo.

Casa Pueblo is a community-based organization that creates sustainable resources for Adjuntas, Puerto Rico. The organization was founded in 1980 by Deyá’s parents, Tinti Deyá Díaz and Alexis Massol González, as a resistance project after the Puerto Rican government wanted to begin a mining operation that would’ve harmed Adjuntas’ ecological system.

The evening began with President José Luis Cruz Rivera giving remarks and introducing Deyá to the audience. He expressed to those in attendance how his reflections on his life journey to becoming the university’s 17th president and emotional connection to his home country inspired him to host someone of Deyá’s caliber.

“I have been in a very introspective mood ... weathering profound sadness witnessing how, once again, the forces of colonialism and profiteering have conspired against the ability of the people of Puerto Rico to face the wrath of what are, in essence, unnatural disasters,” Cruz Rivera said.

Deyá’s lecture was titled “Building Energy Democracy to Confront Colonialism and Climate Change,” in which he spoke about a plethora of issues facing the world and, more specifically, countries situated on islands like Puerto Rico.

Deyá also spoke about how when it comes to environmental issues in Puerto Rico, many people have narrowed it down to only meaning one thing.

“Usually, we relate climate change in the Caribbean to hurricane formations and we think about the sizes of the storms…but the consequences of global warming in the Caribbean are much more than just hurricanes,” Deyá said. “But what we are also confronting is droughts, we’re confronting the bleaching of the coral reef and the consequences of marine productivity…”

Deyá also stressed to the audience that issues within the environment aren’t just affecting places north and south of the United States, but they are directly affecting the country, referencing the California wildfires that have dominated the headlines for the past few years.

He then went on to point out that the United States has always been an energy driven nation economically, whether it was the human energy of slavery, or the manufactured energy of fossil fuels. Deyá explained to those in attendance that Puerto Rico lost $22 billion in 10 years to funding for fossil fuels like natural gas, petroleum and coal.

Deyá then explained the mission of Casa Pueblo: Self-support, not just through energy sources, but also through economical sources such as

agricultural efforts.

“We’re economically self-sufficient because we have been introducing [manufacturing] coffee for a long time and as we sell coffee, we generate income that we use for community development,” Deyá said.

Deyá also stated that through the income generated, Casa Pueblo has created many components that are critical to a community including a restaurant, radio station and school of music that was personally supported by multi-platinum recording artist and Puerto Rico native Luis Fonsi.

Deyá also spoke about how important it was for the people of Adjuntas to learn and understand the South American rainforest’s role in ecological sustainability.

“If we want to reach sustainable development in our community, we better learn how the forest and all of its diversity sustains itself without any external input,” Deyá said.

One section of Deyá’s lecture that caused the audience to react vocally was when he named off the places within Adjuntas that run strictly off of solar power thanks to the efforts of Casa Pueblo. Elementary schools, food prep centers, homes for the elderly and even a solar powered movie theater.

Deyá also presented President Cruz Rivera with the flag of the Puerto Rican “energy insurrection” movement — a blue and green flag that bears a sun on its center — as well as a package of Casa Pueblo’s official coffee, Café Madre Isla.

After the speaking portion of the lecture, Deyá took a few minutes to answer some questions from those in attendance.

One person, who was also from Puerto Rico asked Deyá what he wanted those in the audience who didn’t have any personal ties to the island to take

away from the evening’s lecture.

“It’s not just a discussion on how to decolonize Puerto Rico, it has to be done with actions,” Deyá said. “One of the actions is building energy selfsufficiency and energy independence for Puerto Rico to put the island in a better position to make a decision [regarding pursuing statehood within the U.S.],” Deyá said.

“I think through culture the message went through more effectively. That was combined with other strategies and at some point people realized the value of sustaining the way of living,” Deyá said when asked about how Casa Pueblo helped bring the people of Puerto Rico together as well as getting the country’s government on board with energy sustainability.

After the event concluded, President Cruz Rivera took some time to elaborate on what inspired him to produce the Presidential Speaker Series.

“We are very invested in ensuring that our faculty, our students, our staff, the intellectual assets of our university are made available to the public,” Cruz Rivera said. “One important aspect of that is on the concept of engaged scholarship, when faculty and researchers use their talents and knowledge to better their communities.”

Cruz Rivera said that the main takeaway he hopes students receive from the Presidential Speaker Series is inspiration. He stated he wants students to understand that change can be created with a few resources.

According to Cruz Rivera, the Presidential Speaker Series will be presented twice every school year. One lecture will take place during the fall semester while the other will take place during the spring semester.

Lamar Jackson will win MVP

Lamar Jackson has had an electric start to the NFL season thus far. The Baltimore Ravens have started with a record of 2-2 with wins against the Jets and the Patriots and tough losses to the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills. Jackson looks like he will continue to play well and win his second MVP of his career this NFL season.

So far in the season, Jackson has been the best player on the Ravens, and one of the best quarterbacks in the league. He doesn’t have as much help from his receivers as the other great quarterbacks in the league have, with the exception of Mark Andrews, who is a top tight end and has twice as many receptions than any of the Ravens’ other receivers.

Jackson is the main reason the Ravens are looking like Super Bowl contenders through four games, although the Ravens’ tough loss in the second week was because Jackson and the team were unable to hold onto their 35-14 lead going into the fourth quarter. Jackson’s offense was given 19 seconds at the end of the fourth quarter to score a touchdown to win the game, but they came up short. Jackson’s play style is also erratic at times, which can be dangerous, given his history of ankle injuries.

Jackson is 20th in passing yards, which does not seem very impressive, but he makes up for it in other categories. He ranks eighth in yards per attempt. Jackson is ninth in rushing yards throughout the whole league and on pace to break his own quarterback rushing record of 1,206 yards. He is tied in leading the league in passing touchdowns with 11, as well as having two rushing touchdowns.

Another worthy competitor to Jackson’s MVP campaign, Josh Allen, is just as impressive. Allen can be a problem for defenses with skills similar to Jackson, but I truly believe Jackson is more valuable for his team than Josh Allen. The Ravens’ offense is deadly, Jackson and his ability to pass well consistently, make people miss when the pocket collapses, and if he has no one open he rushes for 8.5 yards per carry. I believe Jackson will beat Allen for the MVP race.

NAU wins first conference match against Idaho State

JACKSON THORP

NAU shut out Idaho State 1-0 last Sunday, earning its second win of the season and its first win in the Big Sky Conference.

The Lumberjacks put up 23 shots with 10 being on goal while the Idaho State Bengals put up 10 shots and four shots on goal. Defensively, NAU sophomore goalkeeper Trinity Corcoran had three saves and allowed zero goals while the Bengals had nine saves.

The Lumberjacks seemed to get into rhythm quickly, taking their first shot in the third minute of the match. Junior forward Dai Williams passed the ball to freshman forward Katie Willoughby, who took the first shot of the game. The ball was ultimately saved by Idaho State goalkeeper Kelsey Jargstorf, but the early play from NAU set the tone for the game.

In the eighth minute of the game, junior midfielder Maddie Shafer sent a beautiful pass to junior forward Julie Lind. Taking advantage of the great pass from Shafer, Lind shot the ball into the top right corner of the net to put NAU up 1-0. This goal earned Shafer her fourth assist of the year. Shafer jumped up to second place in assists in the Big Sky Conference.

A diving save from Jargstorf in the 28th minute negated a near goal from graduate student midfielder Mikhail Johnson that was also placed in the top right corner of the net.

NAU went into halftime with a 1-0 lead. The Lumberjacks dominated on defense in the first half, allowing zero shots on goal from the Bengals. With the game close and another half left to play, NAU went into the second half determined to hold onto its lead.

The Lumberjacks once again began the half quickly, getting off another shot on goal in the 50th minute. Off a pass from senior defender Rylie Curran, Williams shot the ball toward the bottom left corner of the goal. The Bengals, however, saved the ball and kept the game at 1-0.

In the 75th minute, the Lumberjacks were nearly able to put themselves up another goal. Senior midfielder Randalyn Hunter passed the ball to freshman defender Karli Burton. Despite a difficult angle, Burton took a shot that nearly went in, barely soaring just above the crossbar.

Corcoran’s third save of the day came during the final minutes of the game and helped seal the victory for the Lumberjacks.

NAU’s win over Idaho State brings the Lumberjacks to 2-6-4 on the season and 1-1-0 in the conference.

The Lumberjacks returned home, looking to build on their momentum against Eastern Washington on Thursday, Oct. 6. They will host Idaho on Sunday, Oct. 9 at noon MST at Lumberjack Stadium.

Jacobsen out for season due to injury

NAU senior outside hitter Taylor Jacobsen will miss the remainder of the 2022 volleyball season due to injury, she confirmed on an Instagram Reel last Friday.

“Lumberjack nation, as some of you may already know, and as much as it pains me to say, I will not be playing for the remainder of the season due to injury,” Jacobsen said in her post. “I want to thank everyone for the continued love and support throughout my journey this year! I wouldn’t be the player or person I am today without all of the people around me. As for volleyball, this is not a goodbye, simply just a see you later. #4out”

Her announcement came after she missed NAU’s match vs Sacramento State in Rolle Activity Center last Thursday, which the Lumberjacks lost in five sets Jacobsen missed the previous match against Weber State in Ogden, Utah, her first absence of the season.

Jacobsen had been dealing with a lingering back issue that was one of a handful of injuries NAU has dealt with this year. The Lumberjacks had to cancel four matches this season, including its appearance in the North Dakota State Tournament Sept. 9 and 10.

A back-to-back Big Sky Volleyball All-Conference First Team player, Jacobsen

had put together a solid start to the season before her injury. The senior reached 1,000 career kills in a five-set loss against New Mexico, becoming the 16th Lumberjack in history to hit the milestone. She also had a career-high 27 kills in the match.

In Jacobsen’s last outing against Montana, she surpassed her previous careerhigh with 28 kills in yet another five-set loss.

Across eight matches, Jacobsen racked in 154 kills and 61 digs. She leads the Big Sky with 5.13 kills per set, over one kill more than the next player on the list, Montana sophomore outside hitter Paige Clark. Jacobsen leads the conference in points per set as well.

Jacobsen is currently 15th on the all-time NAU kills list with a total of 1,037, trailing Lexi Sullivan (2008-2012) by nine kills.

A senior, Jacobsen entered the season with one more year of eligibility via a COVID-19 season waiver.

NAU (1-10, 0-4 Big Sky) is tied for its slowest every start in a season. The Lumberjacks also started 1-10 in 1990. They will look for its first conference win of the season at home against Northern Colorado (8-7, 2-2 Big Sky) Saturday, Oct. 8 at 6:30 p.m. MST at Rolle Activity Center during Family Weekend.
