Magellan Spotlight: Alberto Cortez Professor Spotlight: Dr. Easton Marcy Saldivar Red & Black Staff

Alberto Cortez ’19 is an international business major from Houston, Texas.

He chose this major because he enjoys traveling and interacting with others. He also has always had an interest in numbers and data, so an international business major allows him to combine all these factors into one job in the future.

For three weeks, Cortez spent time in Singapore and the United Arab Emirates doing his Magellan Project.

He studied architecture and immigration in these countries. He focused on how the western world influenced the two countries’ architecture and how immigration changed over the last couple of decades due to the increase in both tourism and employment.

Cortez chose these countries because cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the island-country of Singapore have always interested him due to their “futuristic vibe.”

He was given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with the Magellan Project, which allowed him to cross off things from his bucket list while learning things a book could not teach him.

This was not Cortez’s first time traveling outside of the United States.

He has been to South America and Europe before, but this was the first time he traveled alone without anyone expecting him at his destination.

The biggest culture shock for Cortez occurred when he met Romanians during a desert safari and they invited him to take a trip with them to Abu Dhabi. They went to the Sheikh Zayed Mosque and the two girls had to put on a hijab before entering. They took them off to take a picture and a security guard immediately ran towards

them to ask them for their phone in order to delete the picture.

Cortez said, “At first I thought the security guard was overreacting because I had never seen anything like that occur, but I had to stop and realize that I was in a country where their values, morals and traditions are completely different than mine.”

In his spare time, Cortez visited Gardens by the Bay and the Singapore Flyer, sat in front of the Burj Al Arab, took a walk by the Dubai Marina and enjoyed food in Chinatown.

Cortez’s favorite memory from his trip was his jet ski tour in Dubai and his favorite site was the Burj Khalifa.

To anyone considering a similar trip, Cortez suggests getting as many contacts as possible from the country you are visiting. Many projects require meeting with professionals who may be unavailable during the student’s stay, so having alternate options and being prepared is essential.

“I beg people to apply for a project.

Not only is the Magellan Project an educational project, but I also see it as a time of personal growth. Because you’ll be alone, you’ll need to figure things out yourself. Because you’ll be alone, you will really touch upon your personal values, morals and goals because there is no outside influence,” Cortez said.

Cortez will always cherish this trip and suggests everyone take advantage of Magellan to achieve their personal goals.

Professor Easton was named the director of the conflict and resolution studies program, and he now teaches the program's required course, CRS101, after deciding not to retire at the request of the administration.

Easton has been building the new program since 2014, and it is entering its third year of organization.

The mission of the CRS concentration is to provide theoretical as well as practical experience to explore causes of conflict and the possibilities of their reduction or elimination.

The program embraces the study of interpersonal, national and international conflict. Exploration of civil discourse, social justice issues and leadership qualities are also important points of study in CRS. The department contains a total of 21 affiliated faculty members as well as 32 students who have officially declared a CRS concentration.

In addition, two W&J graduates, Madison Nervig ’17 and Victoria Bowler ’17, are currently attending graduate school to further their degrees in conflict and resolution studies.

Another student, Ethan Heller ’18, went on a Magellan to Belfast in 2016 to study the peace accords there, and in 2017 he worked as a legal intern with immigrants in Macedonia.

Through these trips, Heller was able to apply many CRS values that he learned in class.

Dr. Easton would like to publicize a talk sponsored by the CRS concentration on Nov. 6. International peace award winner Mary Montague will

give a speech called “Relinquishing Power: the Heart and Soul of Mediation.” Time and location are to be announced, but one can keep up-to-date on this event and learn even more on the new CRS Twitter, @wjcrs, and its Facebook page, W&J Conflict and Resolution Studies.

Mrs. Montague is from Belfast and has been a CRS lecturer and scholar several times, and is now currently teaching the designated CRS-247 class, “Classroom and Community Mediation.” The CRS concentration has already held a number of academic and engaging lectures by various speakers and has brought a great deal of value to the campus.

Some of these include Southeast Asia peace builder Shadia Marhaban and Microsoft dialogue facilitator Carolina Velez, who offered new career directions for students of CRS. CRS247, a topics course, will also be offered in spring 2018 and will be taught

by Mary Jo Harwood and Prabha Sankaranarayan, the president of Mediators Beyond Borders International.

Easton said, “This may indeed be the best act yet in my long-running career.”

The Eastons are very grateful to the alumni for their continuing support in developing this new program.

Dr. J Gary Meszaros’s Lecture to Science Majors Alia Leonardo Red & Black Staff

Dr. J. Gary Meszaros was invited to Washington & Jefferson College to speak about his educational path, his career and his current research and opportunities for aspiring doctors and science majors on Oct. 6.

Over the summer, Dr. Meszaros worked with several undergraduate students, including W&J’s own Nick Baker ’18. Meszaros has completed degrees from several different institutions, starting with his undergraduate degree from the College of Wooster, then to Baylor College of Medicine, and finally the University of Texas HSC-Houston where he obtained his Ph.D. He completed his post-doctoral research at UC San Diego.

Meszaros spoke warmly about his experiences, he offered advice to aspiring doctors. He said, “Find support, find a mentor who can help you out,

who you can talk to and do research.”

Meszaros told the audience how he originally began his education in the field of bone remodeling but knew he ultimately wanted to be involved in the field of cardiology.

He briefly discussed career options for people who wanted to know what there is to do with a Ph.D., which varied from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to medical writing to law school.

Meszaros then discussed what his research over the last several years has entailed.

The title of his research is Type VI Collagen Deletion in Cardiac Remodeling.

The basis of this research is on Myocardial Infarction Injuries and the problems that occur as a result such as cell death and the thinning of the cardiac walls, known as dilated cardiomyopathy.

The research experiments included determining how different types of collagen environments affect the cardiac fibroblast function.

Using types 1, 3 and 6 of collagen, surgical infarctions on mouse and rat hearts were induced, which lead to a result of consistently improved mor-

phology due to collagen type 6. In the future, based on this research, Meszaros explained the possible development of siRNA delivery methods as a pre-clinical interventional strategy.

There was a lot of information about the research conveyed in the lecture; however, to gain a better understanding of what is being studied and developed, it would be valuable to read about the studies online, or talk to Nick Baker about his experience with Dr. Meszaros. Another option that

Meszaros mentioned is that there will be a medical research conference on Oct. 27, where he hopes to see more undergraduate students. After thanking the students in attendance for their time, Meszaros said, “It’s been great to host W&J students over the years, and I really hope for this relationship to grow!” If anyone is interested in attending the conference, they should contact Nick Baker or use the contact information on the informational flyers that were available at the lecture.

Study Abroad Spotlight: Senior Mya Gordon Jordan Melko Red & Black Contributor Mya Gordon ’18 is on the Women’s Basketball Team.

Last semester, she studied abroad in Burgos, Spain. Gordon was there from Jan. 23 to July 3, 2017. She attended Burgos University for the spring semester and took two history class-

es about Medieval Spain and Latin America, a class in international relations and a Spanish class.

She said that compared to Washington & Jefferson College, the work load was a great deal less. Gordon majors in Spanish and international studies. When asked why she chose to study in Spain, she said, “It was somewhere I had never been and I heard a lot of good things about the universi-

ty.” While in Burgos, she lived in a residence off campus.

Gordon said she did not have any problems adjusting to the culture, but she did miss her family a lot. A typical day for her consisted of school and homework, followed by tutoring or teaching and then out for a drink before dinner. Her favorite memory was scuba diving in Malta. One of her biggest struggles was packing. She said,

“It took me almost a week to decide what I wanted to take and I packed one big suitcase, one big duffle bag and one small suitcase.” If you are a student considering studying abroad, Gordon has some advice to offer. She said, “I would say absolutely do it! It is a once in a lifetime opportunity and you learn so much and make so many memories.” She also said that it can open many doors into your future.

Shooting on the Strip in Vegas Takes Lives of 58 People

Courtesy NPR

A gunman took the lives of fifty-eight people on Oct.1 at the Route 91 Harvest Festival at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Vegas.

Cassandra Muhr Red & Black Contributor A gunman identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire on thousands of people attending the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas, Nev. on Oct. 1.

Paddock fired down on the crowd of around 22,000 people from the thirty-second floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, killing at least fifty-eight people and injuring about five hundred. According to the Clark County Sheriff, Joe Lombardo, police dispatchers received the first reports of

shots being fired at 10:08 p.m. Pacific Time. Country singer Jason Aldean was on stage when the shots began.

At first, those in attendance believed firecrackers were the source of the sound.

Witness Meghan Kearney reported to MSNBC, “We heard what sounded like firecrackers going off. Then all of a sudden, we heard what sounded like a machine gun. People started screaming that they were hit. People kept dropping and dropping…People were getting shot one foot away from us. People were trying to save their friends. There were gunshots ev-

erywhere.” Performer Jake Owen was standing on the side of the stage when the shots began. The country artist reported to NBC news, “It got faster and faster, almost like it was an automatic rifle.At that point, everyone on stage started running everywhere…It was pure chaos for seven to ten minutes.”

Owen took cover behind a parked car with about twenty other people.

Once the source of the gunfire was identified as coming from the Mandalay Bay Resort, police and security officers closed in on room 135. A SWAT team was called in after the gunman shot down the hallway, hitting a hotel

security officer in the leg. The suspect was found dead when police entered the room.

Lombardo reported in a press conference that it was believed Paddock had checked in to the resort on Sept.

28 and had “an [excess] of ten rifles” in his room. Police later reported that 23 firearms were found inside the hotel room. It is still unclear what Paddock’s motive was, but police believe that he may have had a severe mental illness that was undiagnosed.

The investigation will continue while the country processes and copes with this tragedy.

SpaceX Announces Plans to Reach Mars by 2024

Space X, led by Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, plans to send 100 people to Mars by 2024 and has made computer animations of the process that show promise.

Samara Wendel Red & Black Contributor

As transportation on Earth becomes more advanced, transportation to places beyond Earth becomes more possible. SpaceX is planning to send 100 lucky individuals to Mars by 2024.

Elon Musk, SpaceX’s CEO, believes new reusable rocket ships could take

people from Earth to other planets in under an hour. Musk also believes that the price to complete such a trip will cost the same as a ticket on an economy class airplane.

This spaceship can transport civilians from New York City to Shanghai in under forty minutes.

This is a huge game changer for modes of transportation.

Though this event has not happened yet, there are computer animations that show potential.

There is one possible downfall to this project: cost. According to an article written by Melany Mejas, “The development of the new spaceship

will cost $10 billion and it is unclear whether the revenue SpaceX currently obtains from launching satellites to the International Space Station is enough to fund the project.”

SpaceX will require a lot of support from Congress to complete this project by 2023.

The main purpose of this task is to enable humans to live on other planets.

With concerns for global warming increasing, the human population may need to branch out to other destinations.

Mejas also said, “SpaceX’s ambitious plans will require a lot of support and investment. The human voyage

to Mars and off-world colonization will be actually possible if people and companies worldwide focus on the same goal, which could benefit everyone who believes life on Earth is full of threats such as Jihadism, nuclear weapons, global warming and North Korea.”

There are many threats to the human population on Earth, which only further motivates companies like SpaceX to continue what they are doing.

SpaceX continues to be hopeful of having this project done in six years, and the world will have to see if and when the time comes.

Woman Uses Selfies to Shame Catcallers

Courtesy The New Daily

Noa Jansma posted pictures on her Instagram with the men who catcalled her.

Erin Herock Red & Black Contributor

In September, Noa Jansma, a 20 yearold student from New Amsterdam, started a project called #DearCatCallers.

This project consisted of compiling selfies with men who catcalled her for a month onto an Instagram account named “dearcatcallers.”

Four weeks into the project, she posted a total of 30 times and gained more than 45,000 followers.

These selfies were posted with context of the incident in the caption, such as remarks or actions men did in her presence.

Most of these selfies contain Jansma looking impassive while the men in the photos are smiling, posing and occasionally have hands around her shoulders.

According to her initial post explaining the project, Jansma said, “By making the selfie, both the objectifier and the object are assembled in one composition.”

She goes on to explain that “Myself, as the object, standing in front of the catcallers represents the reversed power ratio which is caused by this proj-

ect.” Essentially, the aim of the project is to show the objectification women face when walking down the street and to empower women to share their experiences.

According to the media sites “The Independent” and “Bustle,” there were some situations where Jansma felt too unsafe to snap a selfie.

In addition, one man asked why Jansma requested to take a selfie.

Other men were “not at all suspicious because they find what they do completely normal,” said Jansma to Dutch newspaper “Het Parool,” as translated by “The Independent.”

All the traction this project has gained has caused the Dutch government to act.

Starting Jan. 1, it will make street harassment a punishable fine in Amsterdam according to the UK media outlet “The Daily Mirror.”

Although Jansma posted that she was ending her part of the project, she encouraged women around the world to share their experience with catcallers.

She said, “My month of posts has ended, but it doesn’t mean that catcallers are in the past as well.” This is not the end of the Instagram account, as she plans to hand off the account to different women around the world to share their experiences.

culture Artists Bridge the Gap Between Art and Technology Leah Segal Red & Black Contributor

Art is undeniably a catalyst for change.

Whether it is an individual like the legendary Pablo Picasso or an entire movement like Impressionism, the way humans interact with art pieces can create a new way of thinking.

Having the ability to possess the means to creatively express ourselves is one of the defining qualities of being human.

The art community has incorporated technology to produce art pieces unlike anything the world has seen before.

It is our imagination that sets us apart from other living beings.

However, art is not only a method of personal self-expression, but it can also serve to be a powerful mission-oriented masterpiece.

Many artists today use their work to explore society, politics and modern life.

This is when art can become incredibly powerful.

Although it may be a bit unorthodox, it is safe to say that this new wave of creativity is helping to connect people in ways that were previously

unthinkable. This is all thanks to the presence of new technological art companies, festivals and rogue creators.

One example of a participant in this new art phenomenon is the company Imaginary Foundation, a company that thrives on the passion to create art that fosters innovation for the future.

The motto on the company website says, “Think of an ecstatic, desirable and exciting future, and drag the present to meet it.”

Imaginary Foundation is ahead of the game when it comes to changing the world with art.

The company emphasizes an increased importance in utilizing the technology we have to create pieces that inspire the technology of the future.

Such an idea was executed at last year’s Burning Man Concert in Nev. One of the attractions was an extraordinarily large tree made up of 25,000 green LED lights that took on the appearance of leaves.

Festival attendees were encouraged to interact with the tree and even to climb it.

One correspondent for Singularity Hub said, “This magnificent and interactive work of art shows that technological progress doesn’t just enable an abundance of resources and capabilities, but also allows for ‘space for contemplation, community, creativity and play.’” While such a piece may previously have been viewed as wasteful

or unnecessary, the piece was instead praised for enabling people come together and interact in strange and novel ways.

Such an implementation of technology in art is also bringing attention to social and environmental problems.

An example of this is how artist Naziha Mestaoui created the project entitled “One Beat One Tree” for the 2015 United Nations Climate Conference.

The interactive exhibit featured a mix of organic and natural designs that were then projected onto major buildings and historical sites, including the Eiffel Tower. The idea behind the project was to connect people in

a larger way and to draw attention to the conservation of Earth’s natural resources.

In speaking about her project, Mastaoui said, “The underlying message is powerful: each citizen is a co-creator of our collective future beyond individualism.”

Such technical innovation in art has just begin to scratch the surface, as there is much room for further experimentation.

We can never really understand how art affects individual minds.

With the ever-changing nature of technology and art, people will be able to connect in unprecedented ways.

Art Made with Toothpaste Samara Wendel Red & Black Contributor

The majority of artists use acrylic paints, clay and plaster.

There is one particular artist that did not conform to conventions of art expression, and that artist is Cristiam Ramos.

He was born in Mexico, but currently resides in Orlando, Fla. He began painting at the age of only five.

Ramos decided to use toothpaste, which is why he is known to journalist Annabel Grossman as “a breath of fresh air to the art world. Minty fresh air, that is.”

Ramos uses toothpaste to create realistic painting of famous Hollywood stars, landscapes and copies of famous artworks.

His pieces breathe new life into portraiture, and they are sure to be remembered for many years to come.

He recreated one of Vincent van Gogh’s self-portraits and Claude Monet’s “Woman with a Parasol.”

Some of the celebrities portrayed are Robin Williams, Emma Watson, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga and Sir Elton John.

The paintings are crafted with various brands of the toothpaste.

Each artwork takes the artist up to 200 hours to create and can use as much as 30 tubes of toothpaste. The artist claims that the task of starting each project requires a lot of effort and there are some hardships along the way.

However, he also notes that the end result is very rewarding. Ramos has to use multiple layers of toothpaste for

each painting. He said, “The smell can also be quite overwhelming, which was challenging during the long days of up to 10 hours painting.”

He begins the process by finger painting the first layer.

Then he allows it to dry before continuing to the next layers.

Due to the ingredients in the toothpaste, the color is almost transparent when it is first placed on the canvas.

The artist must put on multiple layers and try different colors of toothpaste in order to achieve the desired color.

This is a very tedious process; however, it creates unique and quirky pieces.

He sometime has to employ brushes to paint the tiniest details.

Ramos’s Robin Williams portrait was auctioned off for a good cause.

The intent was to raise money for those individuals suffering from depression and other mental illnesses.

In describing his purpose for choosing to paint Williams with toothpaste, Ramos said, “I thought it would be the best way to honour a man who gave his life to make us laugh. That's why I wanted to do the works in toothpaste, as this is associated with your best smile, and that was what he gave us – laughter and smiles.”

Toothpaste is not his only unusual source he has used to create interesting and memorable pieces.

He has also had experience with candy and recycled cans.

He thinks that the smell of toothpaste can be overwhelming from time to time.

However, he enjoys putting smiles on people’s faces when they experience his artwork.

Some of these portraits will be exhibited in a variety of galleries around the country. Most of them are displayed in Fla., Hollywood and N.Y.

losses in the operating room. There are many relationships that spark between employees of the hospital that add to the drama of show.

The main character that the drama is centered around is Meredith Grey.

She is the daughter of one of the best surgeons and attempts to follow in her mother’s footsteps.

She even dates a surgeon named Derek Shepard. He says one of the most famous quotes in the show: “It’s a beautiful day to save lives.”

He states this before every surgery he performs and the show’s fans love it; it trends on Twitter very often. The show is now airing its fourteenth season on ABC and, once it is finished,

this season will be added to Netflix as well.

Kendrick Lamar’s New Album Jordan Melko Red & Black Contributor

On April 14, Kendrick Lamar released his third full major album named “DAMN.” The album includes 14 tracks and features singers like Rihanna, Zacari and U2.

This is his first album since 2015, but he did release an EP between then and now.

The titles of the songs on this record are single words in all capital letters with periods at the end.

Unlike the more jazzy feel of his past albums, this one contains more traditional hip hop and rap sound.

Several times throughout the record, he returns to the same phrases for emphasis.

Since its April release, the album has become highly acclaimed and is the highest selling debut of 2017. With the tracks, he manages to explore his faith and beliefs in a very unique way.

Lamar said to The New York Times, “I’m not addressing the problem anymore. We’re in a time where we exclude one major component out of this whole thing called life: God. Nobody speaks on it because it’s almost in conflict with what’s going on in the world when you talk about politics and government and the system.”

The single “HUMBLE” was released a week before the album was announced.

There was also a music video containing religious imagery mixed with urban life, and it caused buzz throughout the music business. In the song, he challenges his competition in his

rapping. He was not afraid to be bold when talking about other people.

It caused a lot of anticipation for the album and won him a VMA for Video of the Year.

All 14 songs charted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart after only the first week.

One interesting aspect of the record is that is can be played backwards to get a full story.

The album was also included in a high position on the Billboard 200 chart shortly after its release.

Kendrick always tries to motivate and empower his listeners.

He especially writes about topics like social injustices and black empowerment.

In this album, however, he shows he is not afraid to call out “wack” artists no matter the color of their skin.

In “ELEMENT,” he raps, “There’s a difference between black artists and wack artists.” To Rolling Stone, he explained,

“We’re talking about someone that is scared to make their own voice, chases somebody else’s success and their thing, but runs away from their own thing.”

The last song of the record he called “Duckworth” because it is his real last name.

This is a real and highly personal track because it recounts the story of when his label boss almost became engaged in a violent encounter with his father.

However, nobody was hurt during this incident.

opinions Food Delivery Service Is The Future of Amazon

Amazon food delivery services are becoming more prominent in larger cities.

Alia Leonardo Red & Black Staff

This week, a question was posed to students at Washington & Jefferson College: “Would you order food through

websites such as Amazon?” Students’ responses to this question varied drastically. Some felt that this service would be relatively unnecessary when one considers the prominence of convenience stores and services such as take out and pizza delivery.

Additionally, Uber drivers offer the service of picking your food up for

you and bringing it right to your door.

Paige Walbert ’21 said, “I don’t think I would [buy food like that]. I’d want to check out how fresh everything was. I don’t know if I could really trust that.

Maybe non-perishable foods, but I probably wouldn’t do it a lot.”

Other students have voiced their concerns about the growing need for convenience as a key factor in growing complacency in our generation.

However, some busy students place a lot of value in the convenience of such a vital thing as food.

Having food hand-delivered to your door with more variety than pizza delivery or Chinese take-out would be rather beneficial to people who make use of those services more often.

It would save time, energy and likely a reasonable amount of money.

Most college students are always looking for ways to save money, especially on food, and W&J students are no different. If a website such as

Should Fall Weather Be Warmer or Cooler?

Courtesy Pixabay.c0om

During fall, it is typical for there to be an abundance of festivals that celebrate and relish the season. Additionally, many enjoy the season because of Halloween.

Erin Herock Red & Black Contributor

As the leaves begin to change color and fall festivities begin, something seems a little different.

It is difficult to layer a sweater or pull out warm boots, as the weather never seems to drop lower than 60 degrees. In sharing her thoughts of the unusually high temperatures this fall, Kailee Havrda ’21 said, “When you think fall, you think of colorful leaves falling from trees, picking apples and

going to pumpkin patches. But just as importantly, you think of wearing jeans, jackets and boots as well as snuggling up in blankets.

Fall is a time of change, and it doesn’t feel right to still be wearing short or tank tops.”

According to the report stated in LiveScience by NOAA, the weather forecast until the end of October predicts above-average temperatures in the U.S. There are several predicted reasons for why this is occurring.

NOAA representative Dan Collins said that one reason could be because “the circulation of the atmosphere is such that there is higher pressure in that region.” Additionally, climate change is playing a role; Collins said,

“The most recent decade is somewhat warmer than the previous three decades, from 1981 to 2010.”

Havrda is not alone in wanting the weather to cool down and for it to finally feel like fall.

Alexas Iams ‘21 prefers “a cooler fall because I like being able to wear hoodies and sweatpants. Also, it would be nice for the dorms to not be so hot.”

In agreement with the desire to transition to fall clothing, Gillian Kasper ‘20 said, “I prefer a cooler fall so that I can wear comfy clothes like sweatshirts and sweatpants. I also like a cold fall because it just seems more like fall and feels more like fall.”

Havrda, Iams and Kasper all agree that the idea of fall must include both the festivities and the change in weath-

er associated with the season. Many also enjoy the types of food that become available during the fall season.

Usually individuals find comfort in the season.

However, not everyone agrees with this notion.

Marcy Saldivar ’21 said, “Warmer fall weather is better than cold. People don’t appreciate it now because everyone is ready for sweaters and boots.

When it’s under 10 degrees in the winter, everyone will be wishing it was this warm again.”

The debate about the best kind of fall will continue.

However, the temperature will inevitably get colder as transition into winter occurs, so hopefully both parties will be satisfied for some time.

When Is The Best Time to Take an Intersession Class?

or France. There are many classes in different subject areas for students to choose from.

In a recent study about the best years to take an Intersession class, many W&J upperclassmen said freshman and senior years were the best.

Some of their reasons include the notion that freshmen only have one semester behind them and that they do not know many people on campus.

Intersession can get shy students Intersession is a unique feature at out of their comfort zones and introduce them to more people across camWashington & Jefferson College.

Some Intersession classes even junior years are the best times to take travel abroad to places such as London an Intersession course. Jennifer Shear-

er ’19 said, “That way, your senior year is free and you get better picks than freshmen, [who are] last on scheduling.”

In college, it is important to establish connections and a strong support system early, and an Intersession course is a great way to do this.

As a senior, an Intersession course can be a great way to have a good time with your friends during your last year at W&J, especially if you have different majors and no classes together. Taking an Intersession with your friends before you graduate can serve to solidify your college relationships.

For seniors, it is also a nice time to establish connections with underclassmen and to share experiences and

knowledge. Upperclassmen may enjoy helping someone feel more comfortable on campus, especially with their comprehensive knowledge of how to get the most food at G&T’s or which professors are the best to talk to.

If you did not get to take a class that you wanted as an underclassman, your junior year may be a great time to make up for being last to schedule.

Intersession can be a time of guidance as well as reflection for freshmen and seniors.

However, a great Intersession experience is not limited to these groups. If you see a class that interests you, give it a shot.

It is bound to be a fantastic experience, no matter your class year.

Our Money, Our Meals: The Great Swipe Debate

Courtesy Katherine Campbell

The Barista is the location where many students go to purchase quick snacks and coffee for a quick caffeine boost between meals.

Leah Segal Red & Black Contributor

At Washington & Jefferson College, there are few things as frustrating as walking into the Barista with a desperate and insatiable craving only to discover that your long-awaited food item does not fall under the acceptable list of “swipe-approved” food.

While you sulk and settle for a muffin and a coffee, one can only wonder why students cannot spend money on the items they want.

Such a topic has been discussed by freshmen and seniors alike, as such a large part of campus life revolves

around eating. With each swipe costing $6.60, I feel that W&J students should not be limited in what they can use their meal swipes for; they should instead be able to use the allotted money as they please.

Whether a student is stopping in for a quick breakfast or searching for a late night snack, the Barista offers endless amounts of food.

However, at the checkout counter, the large and bolded sign displays what can and cannot be used as a meal.

This hits students with the reality that their Sun Chips and Pepsi do not fit the parameters of a meal swipe.

Instead students must choose one option from a small amount of combinations.

While each of these combinations serves the purpose of feeding students, this routine gets old quickly, which

causes students to complain. This issue would be resolved if students could use their swipe’s value to buy anything at the Barista, including the endless array of chips, granola bars and candies.

For example, the smoothies at the Barista have become a hit in the past year as new and creative flavors have been added to the menu.

With everything from strawberry to blue raspberry flavors, students have been coming in hordes to get their hands on these new smoothies only to discover they cannot be purchased on a meal swipe.

It makes absolutely no sense why a soda, which is filled with sugar and caffeine, is acceptable but a smoothie is not.

When I asked a Barista worker such a question, she said, “The cost is not equivalent to the swipe.” While this

may be true, there are still other items that would easily fit within the parameters of a swipe value.

The walls of the Barista are lined with chocolate, potato chips, soups, energy drinks and iced teas that can only be bought with dining dollars, cash or debit cards.

There is no justification for depriving students of the right to buy the food of their choice with the money they spend on a meal plan.

Although it may be argued that the school is encouraging students to eat healthier or more complete meals, the mere idea that college students need to be closely monitored is rather absurd.

I firmly believe that students should be able to use the value of their swipe on anything they choose at the Barista; after all, it is their money, and they should get the most out of it.

Student Athlete Spotlight: Harley Moyer ’19 Marcy Saldivar Red & Black Staff

Harley Moyer ’19 is off to a great start this cross country season.

Moyer finished second and fourth in the two races that he has competed in so far.

He also picked up track and field that year. Prior to that, his main sport was basketball. Throughout his track years, Moyer participated in long

Along with his individual success, Moyer believes that the entire team has had a great start to the season.

They are running with good times and picked up a big team win at the Fischer Invitational.

Moyer thinks the rest of the season will go well too. The team is predicted to do well at the PAC championships.

The team is also prepared to take the next steps to race well at regionals.

Moyer said, “We have very high goals, but everyone on the team is doing what needs to be done to reach them.” Some of Moyer’s career highlights include a 4:16 mile and a 15:08

opportunity to have the chance to succeed in both areas, which is something he has always strived for.

Moyer’s favorite memory while running at W&J is receiving an Academic All-American award at the end of last track season, a difficult season for him and the team.

He feels like it was a vindication for all the struggles of the season, and he hopes his teammates will also be rewarded this season for their hard work

and dedication. The friends Moyer has made through W&J cross country have given him great memories, and this is his favorite part of running for sport.

Even though they only run together for a couple hours per day in season, his teammates are there for him all year.

Moyer describes the team as a close-knit group that has been built up over the years.

Reasons to Take a Stretch Break Alia Leonardo Red & Black Staff

Most college students find at least some time during the week to work out, whether that means running while late to class, or hitting the gym a few times a week, either to stay in shape or keep their weight in check.

Many people who work out regularly can attest to some of the great benefits, including stress relief, im-

efit klutzy college students may be interested in is studies have shown that people who stretch often are less likely to trip and fall due to improved fine muscle coordination.

A third, much lesser known benefit is that stretching can help regulate glucose and lower blood sugar in the body.

Studies on diabetics as well as pre-diabetics have shown patients who took time to stretch had lower

Even for students who barely have time to blink, taking a stretch break once a day will have a significant effect.

One of the biggest benefits of taking a stretch break once a day is that it helps wake a person up.

Taking a few minutes to relax, as well as increasing blood flow to the brain and throughout the body is much healthier than coffee, and less time consuming than a nap. Students can be up and ready to go in ten minutes, just by stretching. Another ben-

blood sugar levels after drinking a sugary beverage than those who did not stretch after drinking the same beverage.

Finally, students must consider the better-known benefits of stretching for ten minutes a day, such as improved blood flow throughout the body.

This decreases stress, decreases the chance of injury, improves mobility and decreases general pain.

In the end, even if exercise sounds more like “extra fries” to you, it’s worth noting that it could be a major benefit to take a few minutes out of their day to stretch out and find a few moments of peace.

When students come to college, they look forward to the freedom of making their own decisions for four years.

It is a fascinating time in students’ lives and during this time they have much to learn about themselves and about how to take care of themselves outside of their parents’ care.

One of the biggest decisions college students make is regarding their diet.

While living with their parents, the food consumed was dictated by what was in the house at the time.

Although they could always ask for certain junk foods and candies, it was a reliable assumption there would be a wholesome and healthy meal served for at least one meal.

Upon arrival at college, that wholesome meal is not served point blank.

Students must decide to eat a side salad and a bowl of fruit instead of an extra serving of fries or a sugary dessert.

The Commons will always have more options and it is much easier to eat healthier there.

The Commons always has a salad bar with many fruit and vegetable op-

tions for the students. The main line also offers a side of vegetables with their main dish and offers the contrast of cooked vegetables versus the raw ones on the salad bar.

Any meal consumed, especially by student athletes burning through their energy stores, needs to have more energy-packed veggies in it.

The second thing that is crucial to anyone learning to properly nourish their bodies is people’s eating habits will change throughout the course of their lives.

The student athletes who are burning more calories and need to consume more, but when they graduate and no longer play a sport they may gain weight with the sudden fluctuation of their exercise habits.

This can be combated easily if healthy and proportional eating habits are established early.

Students may crave the ice cream bar, but decide to only eat ice cream on Fridays.

Melina Georgiades ’19 said, “I try and eat a large salad for dinner; it’s filling and energy packed to get me through the evening of work.”

Students may all have their own guilty pleasures, but if a balance can be found on their plates, a happy balance can be found in their lives.

Men’s and Women’s Soccer Fall to Grove City Wolverines Alexander Benner Red & Black Contributor

Both Washington & Jefferson College soccer teams were dealt 1-0 losses at the hands of Grove City on Oct. 6.

The loss moves the women’s team to 5-5-1 overall with an 0-2 in conference record, and the men’s team drops to 7-4 and 0-2 in the Presidents’ Athletic Conference as well. The women’s game was first, starting at 5:30 p.m. A special presentation was held before the game as Maya Kilgore, daughter of

W&J biology Professor Jason Kilgore, served as the honorary captain.

After any game that Maya had attended, Dr. Kilgore said all Maya could talk about was “Tati Ruzzini,” and so she was able to run onto the field with her hero and stand beside her at midfield during the National Anthem.

After the anthem, the teams were set to play.

W&J fell behind in the twenty-ninth minute as a corner kick got lost in the shuffle and was tapped in by Grove City.

This would prove to be the only goal of the game. Despite W&J keeping the ball in the offensive zone for

most of the game, they were unable to capitalize on any of these possessions.

The men’s game started fifteen minutes after the conclusion of the women’s game. Again, the Presidents fell behind early, this time as a pass from the 23-yard line led to a one-on-one with the goalie, and the Grove City attacker shot from the 18 and scored.

W&J had opportunities to score, but were unable to tickle the twine.

With 10 seconds remaining, a rough defensive play by Grove City at around half field resulted in a stoppage of the clock and a free kick for W&J. Despite the protests of the Grove City coach, the referee said that W&J deserved a

stoppage of the clock, but rather than giving the defender a card, he thought it best to merely talk with him.

Matt Prezioso ’20 took the penalty kick, booting the ball into traffic in front of the goal, allowing Kyle Wisnewski ’19 to get a last second shot off.

Unfortunately, the shot was blocked as time expired, preventing W&J from scoring the tying tally.

W&J has another double header Oct. 14 at Geneva College, with the women’s game starting at 4:30 p.m..

The men’s team will then follow at 7 p.m. as both teams look to bounce back in their second week of conference action.

Pittsburgh Steelers Fail to Come Out on Top Against the Jaguars Alexander Benner Red & Black Contributor

The Pittsburgh Steelers faced off against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Oct. 8.

Pittsburgh looked to use their talented running back Le’Veon Bell to their advantage, as Jacksonville boasted the number one passing defense in the league but also the 32nd rushing defense.

The Steelers’ defense was a force to be reckoned with as well, as they came

into the week with the number two passing defense. When two teams with such strong defenses play, it can seem like a well-pitched game in baseball, and through the first half, that is what the score implied.

Chris Boswell booted a 29-yard field goal on Pittsburgh’s first drive to give them a 3-0 lead early.

Jacksonville answered with a touchdown run from the breakout rookie running back Leonard Fournette as he scored from two yards out in the 13th minute of the second quarter, set up by a Ben Roethlisberger interception.

This score held until there was a minute left in the half. Pittsburgh linebacker Ryan Shazier forced an in-

terception as Jacksonville’s tight end caught a ball, but fell onto a Steeler’s defender, which allowed Shazier to rip the ball loose.

Boswell then added a 34-yard field goal to bring Pittsburgh within 1 at 7-6 heading into halftime.

The second half picked up where the first half left off as Pittsburgh kept the ball on the ground, as they drove down and set up Boswell’s third field goal of the game, which gave Pittsburgh a 9-7 lead.

Roethlisberger then threw a picksix, his first since September 2013.

In the very next drive, he threw another one, that gave Jacksonville a commanding 20-9 lead with 3:59 left

in the third quarter. In the fourth, Jacksonville hit a 47-yard field goal to extend their lead to 14.

Pittsburgh then had six and a half minutes left in regulation and needed to score on their next drive to stay in the game.

Unfortunately for the Steelers, Roethlisberger threw his fourth interception of the game, essentially putting the lead out of reach for Pittsburgh.

The Steelers did get the ball back with four and a half minutes left, but Ben threw another pick, this time in the end zone, for a career high five interceptions. Pittsburgh will look to rebound Oct. 15 at 4:25 p.m. as they travel to Kansas City to face the Chiefs.

filed for the NFL draft and ended his college career short of a degree.

He was drafted 11th overall in the first round by the Steelers in 2004. He started playing that same year after the starting quarterback was injured.

In 2004, he won the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. He received his first Pro Bowl selection in 2007.

He is now 35 years old, and still the starting quarterback for Pittsburgh.

His career highlights and awards include two-time Super Bowl Champion, five-time Pro Bowl Selection, 2014 NFL passing yards co-leader, 2004 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and 2003 MAC Offensive Player of the Year.

This season alone, he has six touchdowns, seven interceptions and 1269 yards.

The Steelers current record thus far in the season is 3-2, with wins against the Browns, the Vikings and the Ravens.

The only losses they have accrued are to the Bears and the Jaguars.

You can catch Big Ben and the rest of the Steelers on Oct. 15, as they take on the Chiefs at Kansas City.

We were discussing how no one was really paying attention to our table and how we could get more people's attention when, suddenly, one of the other dancers screamed, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please!’ The entirety of G&Ts went silent. Me and the other dancer were just staring at the one who yelled and, when the one who yelled saw our shocked expressions, she realized that that wasn't the attention-getting technique we had in mind. She more quietly yelled, ‘Nevermind,’ and everyone went back to what they were doing.”
