Construction begins on library by Katrina Smith Staff Writer
The Mitchell Memorial Library is expanding by 22,000 thousand square feet with the addition of the Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library on the fourth floor. The facility will be added to the 1875 section of the library, and will take between 18 months and two years to complete. The amenities will include office space for personnel, a processing space for restoration of artifacts and documents, a rotunda style lobby, orientation and reception and also space for tourists and researchers. The collection will hold life size statues of Grant and will span from his youth to his time as an iconic soldier, and his latter years. Adam Washington and Terrence Healy designed the exhibit and Skipp Wyatt of Foil and Wyatt construction is responsible for the construction and architecture. The U.S Grant presidential library came about through a joint collaboration with President Keenum, the Grant Association, and the Dean Administrations office. The project is being funded through legislature and bond money, totaling in 7.2 million dollars, not including the interior design. LIBRARY, 2
Wink is a beagle/jack russell mix who has gone through severe hardship and managed to come out on the other side with his natural friendliness and playfulness intact. A year ago, Wink was kicked in the face by his former owner hard enough to rupture his eye and cave in his sinuses. After the owner left him at the local animal shelter to be euthanized, Jacki Armstrong of Noah’s Animal Refuge Center rescued him and fi nanced a twomonth long vet stay that included the removal of his eye. Kim Smith, a Jackson resident and MSU graduate, found Wink online and said she knew instantly this was the dog she wanted to adopt. Soon after, she went to the shelter to meet him. “I quickly realized his condition was much worse than I thought it was,” Smith said. She then decided to use skills she gained with her public relations degree and launched Wink’s Wish, a fundraising campaign to fi nance the rest of Wink’s medical needs, with the help of her sister Christi Gardner. “My wish for this special puppy is simply (for him) to breathe like other dogs,” Smith said on Winkswish.org. Smith said the preliminary scope of his injuries at the MSU Animal Medical Center cost $1000, and it was uncovered that on top of not being able to breathe properly, Wink also has an infection that must be addressed. “He is not in pain, but he is uncomfortable,” Smith said. The ‘dogged’ dog had an eventful day Monday when he visited MSU’s campus to meet various MSU sport teams before checking into the MSU vet school. “The attention and support we received from the basketball and softball teams was amazing,” Smith said. “We were nervous when we arrived at fi rst but went home in peace.”

ROTC cadets receive scholarships by Reed Gaddis Staff Writer
A “Welcome Back Lab” was held Thursday, August 19 on MSU’s campus honoring the cadets of the ROTC program. Cadets were awarded scholarships during the afternoon’s activities, along with various hors d’oeuvres for all to enjoy. Brendan Jones, sophomore kinesiology major, from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, competed his entire freshman year through physical training, academics and extracurricular activities in order to receive the ROTC scholarship. “When I set my goals high, I usually try my best to achieve them,” Jones said. Jones said that he was overwhelmed to finally be accepted and be on the payroll. LTC Brian Locke, professor of Military Science/ Battalion Commander, described the different types of scholarships that were received.

“There’s a national board that meets three times a year for high school seniors,” Locke said. “So it takes a number of things into consideration, their ACT score, GPA, leadership involvement, sports activities, and they have to do
an interview with a professor of military science.” Locke said those requirements must be met at the national level, resulting in any high school senior being able to apply. MA Brad Hollingsworth, assistant recruiting
operations officer, described how current Mississippi State students can work to earn scholarships by going to class and maintaining a 3.0 GPA or higher. A standardized test score and past high school achievements
are recognized as well. Hollingsworth said about half of the students earned this type and the other half have earned the Guaranteed Reserve Forces Duty scholarships. Hollingsworth said warfare in the future will
be different than it is today and eligible students should apply for the ROTC scholarship. Hollingsworth said to a student, “It’s not about what the army can give you, but what can you give to the army.” ROTC, 2

MSU police department to patrol Blackjack, monitor speeding by Taylor Bowden News Editor
Mississippi State Police Department recently received permission from lawmakers to extend their traffic jurisdiction 500 yards beyond MSU property, which will allow them to patrol nearby county and city roads with speed radars and provide city and county officers with assistance when needed. The extension has been in the works since last year, and now there are only a final few bureaucratic steps in between
the MSU Police Department and Blackjack Road. “The public can expect to see us out there in a week to two weeks working Blackjack,” MSU Police Department chief Vance Rice said. While the extension does include the sections of Highway 12 that run past the university, Rice said that they have deferred working traffic to the Starkville Police Department, so no major changes there. Nearby county roads, such as Blackjack, in the past have only been under
the jurisdiction of the Sheriff’s Department and sheriff’s department, who SPD will still remain the first are not allowed to operate responders to emergency radar. Rice said the MSU calls made in their respective police department plans on areas. The MSU police regularly patrolling that road department will now have in particular because the more freedom to assist. presence of several student apartments means the road often has large amounts of traffic. Additional roads “We’re all accustomed to Hollingsworth described near MSU properties will also potentially be tanks and infantry and men why young adults need to patrolled, Rice said, such running across battlefields,” continue applying for these as Poorhouse Road which Hollingsworth said. “In scholarships and the assets runs alongside the MSU twenty years I don’t think they will be to the military. that’s what war is going “We need their minds horse park. to look like.

LIBRARY
CONTINUED FROM 1
Only a few library operations and services have been affected by the construction. Those services include the study corral, which has been relocated to the basement floor, a few offices and library personnel. The outside covering and sidewalk are being temporarily built for students and faculty safety during the construction process. Francis Coleman, Dean and Professor over the general library, says that
the expansion will give much needed space for our students. “I think that this will be a great way for students, the university and this region to do research and to learn because the library isn’t just books anymore, it is about so much more.” David Nolen, Associate Professor of the general library, also helped with the interior design and what type of content would be displayed in the exhibit. “I think that this is a
temporary inconvenience for something that will have such a greater impact in the long run. This will be much needed space for students, researches, and the overall general public who wants to experience something like this,” Nolen said. For more information about the library updates, visit library.msstate.edu. Some other upcoming events at the library include Haley Barber coming to sign his book next week.

Obama’s Iran Deal creates international safety
Pranaav Jadhav is a graduate student majoring in political science. He can be contacted at opinion@reflector.msstate.edu.
You may have often heard from political pundits that the second term of a presidency is often uncharismatic and low-key. This certainly does not seem to apply to President Obama who used up every bit of his last resource to crack his biggest foreign policy initiative with Iran and let diplomacy win, which has certainly made the world a safer place. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action contains three sentiments which is in our and our allies’ best interest. It cuts off Iran’s pathway to a nuclear weapon including covert paths, heavy transparency clauses and sanctions that will be back if Iran violates the deal. This is the best option in terms of negotiation, Republicans’ constant mud-slinging on the deal does not make it weaker, world leaders have requested the
red party to approve the deal in Congress, and if they do not, Obama has found a way around it. As most predict, Republicans will be rejecting the deal in Congress, to which President Obama has made it clear he will veto any such resolution that comes to his table. To override the veto, Republicans will require two-thirds majority in both chambers, which is nearly impossible because it is unlikely democrats will go against the president on a rather successful diplomatic initiative. Those that have been speaking against the deal have one major clause in their argument, and that is the isolation of our biggest ally, Israel in the region. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has continuously opposed the deal, going to the extent of appealing to the American Jews to not support it. Now, this act makes it seem as though the entire Israel is against our deal with Iran, which is not true. Many in Israel believe this is the best outcome, and one person who does is Hillel Schenker, co-editor of Palestine-Israel Journal who lives in Tel Aviv. Schenker says, “Well, I’m an Israeli who lives in Tel Aviv and experienced Saddam Hussein’s Scud missiles raining down on the city in 1991; When I look at the Iran deal,
I see a deal which prevents Iran from achieving nuclear weapons for the next 10-15 years, and puts in place an inspection regime, which will make it very difficult for Iran to ever pursue nuclear weapons without being detected. Therefore, I support the deal, as being in the best interests of both Israel and the United States.” Schenker also says he is not alone and he is part of an initiative by a group of concerned Israeli citizens, many of them prominent academics, who are sending a letter to all of the members of the American Congress and Senate, which begins with the following sentences: “We, the undersigned Israeli citizens, wish to congratulate the United States, Russia, China, France, Germany and the United Kingdom, upon reaching an agreement with Iran on its nuclear program.” Moving forward, Iran could be one of our key strategic allies in the region surrounding Afghanistan, currently we are allied with Pakistan, which is proving disastrous in every sense. There are constant bombings in Kabul, Afghanistan’s capital. The state of Pakistan, with covert support from its ISI, is using our money to kill our troops and Afghanis in the region. It is in Pakistan’s interest that the region remains far from stable. And this is not
Facts about the Iran deal The deal:
- Makes it very difficult for Iran to pursue nuclear weapons without being detected - Will cut off all of Iran’s potential pathways to a bomb -Reduces Iran’s stockpiles of enriched uranium -Reduces the number of Iran’s installed centrifuges by two-thirds www.whitehouse.gov
me saying it, Afghanistan’s President Ashraf Ghani in a series of tweets has indicated Pakistan’s involvement in Afghanistan. Here are some of his tweets, “Pakistan still remains a venue and ground for gatherings from which mercenaries send us messages of war. The suicide training camps and the bomb making facilities used to target and murder our innocent people still operate, as in the past, in Pakistan. We hoped for peace, but war is declared against us from Pak territory; this in fact puts into display a clear hostility against a neighbor.” Over 2 billion dollars in
aid goes to Pakistan every year from the United States, a case for this funding is made by citing reasons like protection of nuclear facilities in the country which in good English terms is a lie. The Deobandi school of thought from which the Tehrik-iTaliban has been born is inflicting heavy damage on the Afghan border, what the Pakistan and the ISI does is fund these organizations with money to carry out attacks in Kabul and kill U.S. troops, sometime they work and sometime they do not like when the TTP killed students in Peshawar. You can’t
pet a poisonous snake and then complain that it bit you. Iran and the United States have a common enemy and that is the Taliban, Iran hates the Taliban on account of the Sunni Shia rift. 90 percent of Iranians are Shias and the Taliban is mostly Sunnis, with the Iran deal as a backdrop if we can make Iran our strategic partner in the region, we could certainly end the war in Afghanistan faster and withdraw our troops, a strategic alliance could also mean more transparency and vigilance in Iran in regard to the nuclear facilities.
My Two Cents
Duggar’s lifestyle should not taint Conservative movement
If you have come anywhere near social media in the last few days, I’m sure you’ve seen the latest scandals surrounding reality star Joshua Duggar. The 27-year-old married father of four has been outed for possessing not just one, but two accounts on Ashley Madison, (a site dedicated to hooking up married people for affairs.) Thousands of account names were recently pulled by hackers, but Josh’s name is the only one I’ve seen garner such immediate and violent attention. And rightly so. In his own words, he’s been “such a big hypocrite.” This is not the first scandal of a sexual nature to come forth about Josh this year. A few months ago, it was brought to light
The
that he had molested five minors (including his own sisters when he was between the ages of 14 and 15). For a guy who made a huge deal over being a virgin upon marriage and saving his first kiss for his wedding day (in order to promote purity and happiness in his marriage), this revelation calls into question everything about his worldview. I consider myself a casual follower of the Duggars. I’ve loosely kept track of them over the years. I’ve watched the occasional episode of their TV show “19 Kids and Counting.” As a former homeschooler from a semi-large family, I could relate to a few aspects of their life. However, I could never bring myself to fully
embrace the show due to an eerie feeling the “perfection” they put forward was not quite true.
“Josh has done more harm than good for the name of Christianity and for conservatism.” Josh formerly worked for the Family Research Council, an organization whose stated mission is to “advance faith, family and freedom in public policy and the culture from a Christian worldview.” In addition
to this, the entire Duggar family has famously sought to promote conservative Christian values. By secretly following down this blatantly opposite path, Josh has done more harm than good for the name of Christianity and for conservatism. One glance at Twitter will let one know anything Josh has said is being mocked and destroyed. Many people already hate Josh for his strong stance on LGBTQ issues (among other things), and this situation creates the perfect opportunity to discredit his every word. There are significant dangers to putting people on pedestals. It creates unrealistic expectations and puts said people in the dangerous position of believing
they are above the rules. This reality is all too clear in the case of Josh Duggar. The moment you lift up one human as higher than another, you’re destined to be disappointed. However, we must be careful in slamming an entire movement over the actions of one or even a few people. Many of those working to promote conservative Christian values (myself included) really do desire to walk with integrity and in truth. I personally know several people who work closely with the conservative movement and I often hear them discuss, with grace, the messy parts of life, and hear them speak with the strongest and most caring of love about those
Kelly. Kelly asked Trump about his insulting remarks toward women over these past few years. Trump took great offense to this question saying it was “extremely unfair.” The Republican debate had one of its highest ratings on the Fox network. With that, some were quick

who disagree with their values. I would never discredit a movement I personally don’t subscribe to merely due to the actions of one of its members and therefore logically, we cannot do the same with Josh Duggar, as tempting as it may be in this situation.

The media can be seen as an entity that either promotes issues in a negative or positive way. This entity allows us to consume messages geared toward changing the way we think of one another, to the way we live our everyday lives. These days, there is so much news happening that sometimes consumers cannot tell the difference between good journalism and the “crap” that someone has thrown together just to satisfy the needs of the masses. With the 2016 Presidential Election starting, most news outlets will follow the circus known as the Democratic and Republican primaries. One of the most notable incidents is the current ongoing issue between Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump and Fox Political Commentator Megyn
“This is not the first time Trump has made radical comments toward women.” to take Trump’s side in the argument saying Kelly was out of line for the question she asked him. Kelly responded to criticism with the quote, “I will not apologize for doing good journalism.” Lines have been drawn between supporters for Kelly and supporters of Trump. Story lines such as these are not uncommon around the time of political elections. The question becomes, when is good journalism
no problem with answering questions about ISIS or immigration, so why did he dodge a question about his attitude/past comments toward women? This is not the first time Trump has made radical comments toward women. In April , he was quoted saying, “If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband, what makes her think she can satisfy America?” Why aren’t people standing up and voicing concerns when
Trump makes these comments. Journalists are people who are dedicated to finding the truth, even if that means crtitizing past comments that people like Trump and other candidates become upset with when comments such as this one are found. Kelly should be commended by the nation for asking such tough questions to candidates who could possibly have the power to start wars, save an economy, or put us in further debt. The issue is not that Kelly asked the wrong question, it is that we live in such a world where a man can speak his mind, but if a woman decides to do the same she is labeled as something negative. If a male journalist asked Donald Trump the same question, would the backlash have been as great as it has been against Megyn Kelly? Sometimes these small problems are just hiding bigger problems that we need to address in our society.

supportive and safe community for LGBTQ faculty, staff and students, as well as campus and community allies. The event had over 50 faculty, staff and students in attendance, along with special guest Rob Hill from the Human Rights Campaign of Mississippi.

Students of all classifications and majors mingled and conversed with teachers and staff from the university, expressing gratitude for
the ability to assemble and be welcomed into the academic community.

“I believe that as the LGBTQ community and its allies continue to grow more visible, it becomes easier for us all to be more accepting and respectful of one another and that just makes Mississippi State University an even better place to be.” -Bert Montgomery, UBC Pastor Melissa Grimes, video producer with the Wildlife
“We had a tremendous response from not only
the student body but also from the faculty and staff,” Grimes said. “Having these types of events on campus serves to create a welcoming environment where all students feel safe and comfortable.” The event created a safe environment for students and faculty to discuss the future expansion of LGBTQ resources on campus. Bert Montgomery, instructor at MSU and pastor of University Baptist Church felt the BBQ was a great way for the LGBTQ community to feel welcomed onto campus. “I had a great time at the BBQ(ueer) event. I was excited to see so many new faces. It’s important for everyone to feel both
welcomed and safe when they arrive on MSU’s campus,” Montgomery said. “I believe that as the LGBTQ community and its allies continue to grow more visible, it becomes easier for us all to be more accepting and respectful of one another – and that just makes Misissippi State University an even better place to be.”
