SGA constitution amendment voted down MARISSA FAWCETT STAFF WRITER
A proposal to amend the student constitution at Southeast Missouri State University to add a nondiscrimination clause against sexual orientation was voted down by the Student Governament Association senate. Senator Nick Maddock recommended the change because he has seen lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students called derogatory names. “I see it as a huge issue that needs to be addressed,” Maddock said. “This clause in the student constitution is the only discrimination policy that our students really have; therefore, I think that would be the best way to approach this issue and say from the student government body, ‘Hey, to our LGBT students, we’re here for you. We are behind you. We do not by any means or any type of discrimination against you, you’re welcome 100 percent on this university.’” The student constitution states “the right to vote and to freely participate in student organization elections shall not be denied on account of race, religion, creed, sex, or national origin.” Maddock recommended to add “or sexual orientation” to the clause. When brought to the student government meeting on March 11, the senate voted against Maddock’s recommendation in a 29-8 margin. This meant that SGA decided the clause should not be voted by students. According to the student constitution, in order for an amendment to be proposed, two-thirds of the senate must vote in favor of it. Once it is passed by the senate, one-tenth of the student population must vote on it and two-thirds of the one-tenth that vote must be in favor of the amendment. “No one disagrees with the content aspect of it,” SGA Vice President Greg
Felock said before the vote. “It’s just really the procedural side to it that is a little scary and shocking so far.” The constitution never has been amended and it mimics the Missouri constitution, Felock said. “Other universities all around Missouri have made this exact same clause, so for them to say that we need to abide by this because it’s politically correct, that’s just illogical,” Maddock said. “There are a lot of universities who have passed that.” The University of Missouri and the University of Central Missouri include no discrimination against sexual orientation clauses in their student constitutions. There were several other arguments made against proposing the amendment. Senator Dylan Lloyd said he believed that there was no reason for it to be changed. “First, the Americans of the United States, no matter what your sexual orientation is, get to participate in the government by voting and/or running for office,” Lloyd said. “The United States constitution does not say anything about sexual orientation — and neither does Missouri’s or Southeast’s. Therefore, if there are no issues on higher levels of government, then why should we change it? Second, I talked to some of my constituents and they were not comfortable with adding this. At the end of the day, I am here to be their voice, so I voted no.” There were other issues of whether Maddock’s clause was the right way to word the amendment. “It refers specifically to the right to vote and to freely participate in student organization elections, so it’s not necessarily an all-encompassing non-discrimination clause,” Felock said before the voting. “There’s a lot of discussion whether or not it’s necessary or in a sense might be kind of repetitive because you can take different parts of it
different ways. You know when you’re talking about ‘creed’ that could mean a lot of different things.” Some senators wanted to change the clause to make it more general. Others made the point that other specifics would need to be added to the clause such as no discrimination against people with physical or mental disabilities. “Some people said, ‘Well, why not eliminate all and just say any type of discrimination,’ which hey, like, I think that would be a small step up but that doesn’t entrust the bigger issue of what I’m trying to address, which is the discrimination of LGBT individuals here,” Maddock said. Lloyd and Felock said they have not been told of any discrimination against sexual orientation on campus through student organizations. “I do not believe that we have a big problem with discrimination against sexual orientation when it comes to clubs or organizations,” Lloyd said. “I have not heard anyone complain about there being any discrimination towards those about their sexual orientation, and I have a few friends who are very active on campus who haven’t said a word to me about discrimination in their organization.” Maddock disagreed and thinks SGA should be proactive rather than reactive. Instead of waiting for a problem to occur or worsen, he wants to take care of the problem now by amending the constitution. Lloyd doesn’t think this will be the end of Maddock’s recommendations to amend the constitution. “Student Government will battle over this issue ‘til the cows come home,” Lloyd said. “In a year or two, it will be brought up again, and if we see that there is discrimination going on, then we will respond to it. As for right now, we don’t need to fix what isn’t broken.”

Women’s track team begins outdoor season after successful indoor season SPENCER MICHELSON STAFF WRITER
Southeast Missouri State University’s women’s track and field team will try to win consecutive Ohio Valley Conference championships this year. The team won the OVC indoor championship on Feb. 23, its first since 2006 and seventh indoor championship overall, and is now preparing to win the OVC outdoor championship. “It took pretty much every point we scored to get it done,” Southeast track and field coach Eric Crumpecker said. “Everybody did their part, did their job. It was a great weekend as a team.” Southeast scored 101 points to beat out Tennessee State, which scored 95. There were 16 events scored, and the scores from each event were added up. Teams were given points based on what place they finished in the event. The Redhawk women’s track team hopes its outdoor season ends the same way as their indoor season — with a championship. According to Crumpecker, the team is better during the outdoor season. “Hopefully we’ll be able to get the same thing accomplished at the end of outdoor season that we did indoor and pull it all together and come out with another OVC title,” Crumpecker said. “There’s a lot of track to be run between now and then.” Senior Jerika Lewis had a strong showing in the dual meet against SIU-Edwardsville on Feb. 1, winning the 300-meter and 55-meter. Lewis normally runs the 400-meter, 200meter and relays. Lewis won the 400 at the indoor championships clocking in at 56.02 seconds. “I want to break my records that I hold in the 200 and 400. I want to break those records,” Lewis said, referring to her personal records. “And I also want to go to the NCAA championships outdoor. There’s a better chance for me to do it outdoor than indoor.” Crumpecker said that winning the OVC indoor championship title was a nice send off for Lewis’ senior season.
“She’s showed up year after year and competed her butt off and has done a lot of great things for us over the years,” Crumpecker said. “It was a fitting way to end her indoor career.” Junior Courtney Gapelu added her name to Southeast’s record books by breaking the school’s shot put record of 50- 4 by Lutrcia Purham that stood since 2000. Gapelu set the new mark of 51- 9 inches during Southeast’s dual meet against SIU Edwardsville. That record helped her become the OVC Women’s Field Athlete of the Week. “My goals for indoor season were to break the shot put record and for the team was to win conference,” Gapelu said. “We actually did both of them, so I was really happy.” Gapelu also competes in discus, javelin and the hammer throw. Her goal for the outdoor season is to place in the top eight of the OVC overall in shot put, discus and the hammer throw. Crumpecker believes that expectations surrounding the team will grow for the outdoor season since the team won it’s first indoor championship in seven years. “I’m sure the expectations out of everybody now is ‘Let’s go win outdoor now.’ Until you get the first one out of the way, it’s kind of like you want to get one in, and now it’s like the expectation is to keep the ball rolling,” Crumpecker said. “Everybody’s excited about getting a chance to go for the outdoor title.” According to Crumpecker, the competition will remain tight between the OVC track and field teams. “EIU outdoor will still be a tough team to beat. Tennessee State is right there, Murray State is right there, Evansville is right there too,” Crumpecker said. “I don’t foresee anybody running away with the outdoor OVC conference meet. It’s going to be a battle again.” Crumpecker won OVC Women’s Coach of the Year for the first time due to the performance of the women’s track and field team all season. This is Crumpecker’s fifth season as head coach after serving 17 years as an assistant coach.
“It’s nice to get recognized,” Crumpecker said. “I’m just happy the team won, my main focus.” Both Lewis and Gapelu said they were happy for him and his accomplishment and agreed that he deserved the award. “I wouldn’t trade him for any other coach in
the OVC, so he’s great,” Gapelu said. Members of both the men’s and women’s teams competed in the Rhodes Open on March 16 and the Cougar Classic on Saturday. The teams will travel to Cincinnati for the Oliver Nickoloff Invitational on Friday.

Recreation Services offers free yoga class Thursday mornings in the UC KELLY LU HOLDER STAFF WRITER
Southeast Missouri State University offers a wide variety of group fitness classes, ranging from cycling to kickboxing, to keep its students active and healthy. All classes are held at the Student Recreation Center-North, except for one. An early morning, group fitness yoga session is offered every Thursday from 7-7:45 a.m. in the University Center. Most of the group fitness classes offered cost money, but this yoga session is free. This semester the class is taught by group fitness instructors Danielle Stueve and Michael Parritt. Stueve is working toward a degree
in health management, and Parritt is working toward a degree in exercise science with a minor in nutrition. Both are transfer students still working on completing their degrees at Southeast. All group fitness instructors at Southeast are nationally certified or in the process of obtaining their certification. Instructors sign up for classes they want to teach and then they are placed into specific classes. “I didn’t really see myself teaching yoga this semester,” Stueve said. “It just kind of happened that way, but I really do enjoy it.” According to Stueve, this yoga class was specifically placed at the UC to make it more accessible to students and other faculty on campus.

“I would encourage people to look into our programs and see what we have,” Parritt said. “We have some really great stuff.” Parritt said anyone not involved in group fitness should give it a try and that students should take advantage of it. “It’s a really cheap way to get your fitness on campus,” Parritt said. Other fitness facilities in Cape Girardeau charge monthly for access to their gym. Healthpoint has a fee of $53 a month, plus a registration fee. FitnessPlus has a fee of $55 a month, also along with a registration fee. A semester group fitness pass that includes about five months of classes, which would cost around $270 at any other fitness facility in
Cape Girardeau, costs only $40 at Southeast. “At first I was like, ‘This is impossible,’” sophomore early childhood education major Tori Schweer said. “But after I went for a while it got easier, and it’s really exhilarating to get up that early and go through this. It’s relaxing, and it works.” Southeast offers 19 fitness programs throughout the week that anyone on campus can participate in at the Student Recreation Center-North. Each class is $5, or an unlimited semester pass is $40. Passes can be purchased at the Recreation Services office located in room 101 of the Student Recreation Center-North.

Yoga is an exercise that is used to strengthen flexibility, balance and posture in a relaxing and soothing manner. Common yoga positions like downward dog and extended triangle are incorporated in every yoga session at Southeast. “It [yoga] really helps your overall health,” Parritt said. “You’re going to get more flexibility, more range of motion throughout the joint movements, and you’re also going to be working on stabilization muscles that you wouldn’t work out during normal exercises. “You also get a touch of spirituality, or centering yourself, so really yoga is an all-around good exercise for whatever you’re trying to do.” One of Parritt’s future goals is to get yoga certification.

River Campus hosts dance festival ASHLEY BENNETT STAFF WRITER
The national offices of the American College Dance Festival Association are always searching for different schools to host the conference. This will be the second time that Southeast Missouri State University has hosted the conference. “This is a real honor for both our university and the Cape Girardeau community and is the first time the river campus has hosted a national event of this kind,� said Dr. Marc Strauss, professor of dance at Southeast. Southeast’s School of Visual and Performing Arts and the Department of Theatre and Dance will host the American College Dance Festival Association Central Region Conference March 24-28. The American College Dance Festival Association is the primary organization in the country for adjudications of choreography and performance of students and faculty. Adjudication is the judging or evaluation of the performances and choreography. There will be three nationally-recognized dance artists coming to Southeast to teach dance classes to students. Holly Williams, Clifton Keifer Brown and Myron Howard Nadel are coming to judge the performances as well. Strauss is the event coordinator and has been putting the event together for more than a year now. There will be 400 students and faculty traveling to Cape Girardeau from many different colleges and universities that fall under the American College Dance Festival Association’s central region. The central region covers Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. There will also be a university from North Carolina. The university from North Carolina could not get

into the festival under its mid-Atlantic region, but there was an open slot for them to come to the central region. The festival will consist of 36 dances from the different schools over the three days and the dances will then be judged and critiqued. The judges will give feedback to the students and faculty on the last day of the festival. The concerts will take place March 24-26. “On Wednesday, March 27, the adjudication will have just decided which eight or nine dances will get to perform tonight at 7:30 p.m. out of the 36 performances from the previous three days,� Strauss said. The first three concerts are open and free to the public, however the concert on March 27 is $3 for students with a Southeast ID and $15 for the public. The performance will be held at the River Campus in the Donald C. Bedell Performance Hall. “We had to talk with all the departments here at the River Campus, and we’re converting one of the museum spaces into a dance studio,� Strauss said. “The department of music have graciously moved their schedule around so we can use the Shuck Recital Hall. We have been talking to Eric Redinger at the Student Recreation Center about use of the two dance studios. At times during the week, we are over in Parker. We’re using almost every space we can here at the River Campus, too. It’s really like heaven for dancers.� The conference will feature dance classes of a variety of different styles of dance from modern, ballet jazz tap contemporary and lyrical. There will be two dances from Southeast students. One of the dances being performed by Southeast students comes from the Jose Limon Dance Company. Each college or university is allowed up to two performances.

MUSICIANS form Kings Among Men SOUTHEAST STUDENTS ETHAN REKER AND JAKE WESTRICH ARE IN BAND WITH TWO OTHERS
Southeast students form metal band J.C. REEVES ARROW REPORTER
Kings Among Men, a Cape Girardeau band, have amassed a moderate fan base in the Southeast Missouri music scene in only two years of being together. Kings Among Men is composed of Southeast Missouri State University students Ethan Reker on guitar and Jake Westrich on screaming vocals. Guitarist and clean vocalist Cody Lunsford and drummer Spencer Lovig are also in the band. Kings Among Men had to deal with the recent departures of their former bass player and guitarist. “Originally we didn’t have Cody [Lunsford] in the band,” Lovig said. “We had to do some cleaning, but in the end it looks like it’s working out pretty well.” Lunsford became the new guitarist for the band, and it is working with some people in order to find a new bass player. Kings Among Men became the band that it is today because of friendships that the members made with one another in previous bands that each respective member played in. “Me and Ethan [Reker] were in a band previously, and Cody and Spencer were in a band,” Westrich said. “Stuff didn’t work out between both of those bands, and we just met together and made this baby of a band.” Reker has made the recordings of all of Kings Among Men’s songs so far, but they are hoping to work with a professional recording studio soon. “Ethan [Reker] does a great job,” Westrich said. “He burned 20 to 30 CDs on the way to a show in St. Louis, and we just gave them out when we got there.” Aside from local bands, Kings Among Men has shared the stage with bands such as Affiance, which is signed with Bullet Tooth Records, and Casino Madrid, which is signed with Artery and Razor & Tie Records. Kings Among Men are heavily influenced by bands such as

Although they have a heavy sound, they weren’t always into metal music. “Starting out, my dad always had music playing, so that always got me going,” Westrich said. “First was Alan Jackson, the country singer, because when I was like 3 I would dress up as Alan Jackson, and at every family event, I would go and try to play songs by him.” Westrich’s musical influences have changed a lot as he has gotten older, as Kings Among Men’s songs indicate, but they remain incredibly broad. “For writing heavier music, I started out listening to The Devil Wears Prada, Chiodos, Senses Fail, so that’s what really jump-started me on this,” Westrich said. “But my all-time favorite vocalist is the singer from The Red Hot Chili Peppers. My influences come from everywhere.” The band members said that the reason they started the band is their love for music and that they believe that metal is a more fun genre than the others. “On the radio you can hear the same stuff, but it’s just in a different key, but basically you hear the exact same chord
progressions,” Lunsford said. “Playing metal there’s more freedom. You can do more things with it instead of being structured and centered on one chord progression.” Kings Among Men members also enjoy the atmosphere of metal shows compared to other genre’s shows. “Being in the crowd [at a metal show] you can beat up your best friend and still drive home together and be the best of friends,” Westrich said. The band typically writes songs through a program called Tux Guitar, a free tablature program that can be downloaded online. They also come up with different guitar riffs when they practice and build off of them. “I think lyric writing takes the longest time because I get unhappy,” Westrich said. “I will be sitting at work or in class and a line will pop into my head, then I will write that down, save it and try to work that into something.” Kings Among Men has plans in the near future to record at a professional studio, play as many shows as possible and build a bigger fan base in the southeast Missouri area.

enny Dorris, Dale Swift and Cameron Vinson are running for president of Student Government Association during elections that will be held on April 3 and 4. Dorris and Swift are experienced members of SGA while Vinson hopes to turn his inexperience into an asset. Dorris currently serves on SGA’s executive board as chief of staff while Swift serves as a senator for the College of Science, Technology and Agriculture. Vinson does not hold any position with SGA. Dorris is running on a ticket with incumbent vice president Greg Felock and treasurer candidate Jami Conley. Vinson is running with vice presidential candidate Derek Lemen and treasurer candidate Camella Jo Reed. Swift is running alone. Even so, a student voting for one member of a ticket does not have to vote for that candidate’s running mates. Dorris, a junior, has been a part of SGA for one and a half years and has served as chief of staff for the past year. One of the core principles of his ticket’s campaign is experience. “Combined we have more than 13 semesters experience on student government, both in senate and in executive committee positions,” Dorris said. “With that experience comes the institutional know-how and memory of how to accomplish the goals that we have for our term in office, and I think I can speak for both [Felock and Conley] when I say that all three of us have a very strong sense of duty to both this campus and the students in the university.” Swift, a senior, similarly values his experience, having served three non-consecutive years as a senator with SGA. He considers his experience in both SGA and as an Eagle Scout important in his campaign for a leadership role on campus. “I’ve been on all the subcommittees of student government,

reg Felock, vice president of Student Government Association at Southeast Missouri State University, is running for reelection and is opposed by Derek Lemen. Felock, a junior, is trying to win his third consecutive term as vice president. Lemen has never held an SGA position. Felock is running on the same ticket as presidential candidate Benny Dorris and treasurer candidate Jami Conley while Lemen is running alongside presidential candidate Cameron Vinson and treasurer candidate Camella Jo Reed. Students can vote for candidates without voting for the entire ticket. Lemen, a sophomore with no experience in SGA, was inspired to run for office because of his involvement with what he considers to be an underfunded club sport on campus. “I played hockey here for the hockey club and we had to pretty
much beg student government just to get uniforms, just to be able to compete,” Lemen said. “And we’re going out and playing schools like Mizzou and Kansas State, big time schools, and we’re dressed like trash because we can’t get funding from anybody. And it’s a competitive team. I can understand if we were just going to Parker [Hall] and playing pickup games on the weekend or something, but we’re traveling, playing with big-name schools in front of lots of people, and we’re not representing SEMO as well as we should be because we have no funding.” Lemen’s main goal should he win the election is to take an extended look at SGA’s budget and think about reappropriating some of the funding. In particular, Lemen would be examining fraternity spending, like giving fraternities funding for travel and hotel expenses. “In my opinion that’s not what that money is for,” Lemen said. “It’s not for hotels for frat conventions. You know frats charge people money to be involved with them, so why are we spending our resources funding people that are already getting funded through their own members?

so I know all the different roles a senator can play,” Swift said. “So I have a really good understanding of what we can and can’t do. As well as growing up, I’m an Eagle Scout, so I have a lot of experience in leading people in various other things, whether it be in surviving the woods or dealing with other individuals, that’s what the Eagle Scout program does. It teaches you not just living in the woods but how to deal with people and managing them.” While Dorris and Swift hope to win votes with their experience, the admitted inexperience of Vinson, a junior, is part of his campaign message. “I’m not saying the other candidates are boring,” Vinson said. “But I think if you had more of a fun president I think that would interest more students and get them involved as well.”
“[I would] start looking into where student government’s money is going and trying to invest more in student organizations and student clubs. If at all possible, maybe just spread the wealth around.” Cameron Vinson “If experience is all they’re looking for, absolutely, vote for the other guys,” Vinson said. “But if you really want to look into some policies and see if we can make some changes for the betterment of students, then vote for us.” None of the three candidates have many firm plans should
they win the presidency, because as Swift noted, the winners of the election generally don’t formalize their goals until the summer when they have received some input from their constituents. However, each candidate has a few goals already. Vinson wants to examine the SGA’s budget. “[I would] start looking into where student government’s money is going and trying to invest more in student organizations and student clubs,” Vinson said. “If at all possible, maybe just spread the wealth around.” Swift is interested in finding out why student voter turnout is as low as it is. “Last year we had a four and a half percent voter turnout rate. The year before that we had a nine percent voter turnout rate,” Swift said. “With those kinds of numbers, we can’t even amend our own constitution because you have to have at least one tenth of the student body voting to even have the vote count for constitutional amendments. So finding a way to get the students to actually vote is something that’s very important.” Dorris wants to improve student outreach, student services and student experience. For outreach, he intends to find the best way to contact students for feedback. For services, Dorris mentioned improving the W.I.N.G.S. shuttle service as well as increasing awareness of the funding available for student organizations. For experience, he wants to strengthen school spirit and school identity through campus programming, sporting events and things of that nature. “I think a lot of that will be having conversations with the Student Activities Council, Residence Hall Association, those organizations that already kind of take that as their organization’s mission and seeing how we can help them in student government,” Dorris said.
“We’re going to seek out issues that students see, whether it be parking, dining services, you can name issues on campus and we’re going to seek those out and change those the best that we can.” Greg Felock “I work a lot more with students than, say, the president, which is really more of a link between administration and the student body,” Felock said. “So I love working with students, helping the senators, being their point man to help point them in the right direction rather than working more with the administration. I kind of found a home as vice president, and I love that position and there’s not really anywhere else I’d want to be in student government.” One of the core values of Felock’s campaign along with his running mates is having the initiative to find and solve student problems. “We’re going to go and get things done without having to be told to do them,” Felock said. “We’re going to seek out issues that students see, whether it be parking, dining services, you can name issues on campus and we’re going to seek those out and change those the best that we can. Sometimes our hands are tied with different things, like parking is a really complicated issue, but we’re going to make sure it’s used in the most effective manner possible.”

“I think we need to take a second look at things and find out if that’s where the money is best spent.” Felock stands in contrast of Lemen due to his experience. Felock was a first year senator as a freshman and was elected vice president as a sophomore and reelected as a junior. Felock is running for vice president again rather than president because he enjoys working with SGA senators and the vice president is president of the senate.
ami Conley, Nick Maddock and Camella Jo Reed are running for treasurer of Student Government Association at Southeast Missouri State University. Conley currently serves on the SGA executive board as the student issues committee chair, Maddock is serving as senator for the College of Business and is on the funding board and Reed does not hold a position with SGA. Conley is running on the same ticket as presidential candidate Benny Dorris and incumbent vice president Greg Felock, meaning they have campaigned as a unit. Reed is running with presidential candidate Cameron Vinson and vice presidential candidate Derek Lemen. Maddock is running alone. Students do not have to vote for an entire ticket in order to vote for one of these candidates for each office. Maddock, a senior, has a vast background in finance and accounting. He is the president of the Southeast Finance and Economics Society, the treasurer for Lambda Chi Alpha and the vice president of finance for the Student Alumni Association. He is also the president of the Interfraternity Council. If elected treasurer, Maddock wants to increase transparency in SGA funding. “I don’t think it’s necessarily transparency as in anything

has been hidden or anything like that, but just more so that the students are aware of the potential of student government,” Maddock said. Maddock wants to keep students informed about SGA in other ways as well. “Not only just sending emails, having forums and whatnot, but going into student organization meetings and actually talking, saying ‘Hey, my name’s Nick Maddock,’ and just telling them about what we do,” Maddock said. “Because people get so many emails a day they’ll blow them off here and there, so I think it’s really important to have that face-to-face communication and get out there a little more, one-on-one with people.”
“We have such great funding opportunities and we want to make sure that student organizations know about those.” Jami Conley Conley, a junior, was a first year senator as a freshman and, upon being elected to senate as a sophomore, she was appointed to her current position as the student issues committee chair. If elected treasurer, Conley would like to increase awareness of
funding opportunities available to students such as SGA’s discretionary account, which can be used to purchase equipment for sports teams and on other similar expenses. “We have such great funding opportunities and we want to make sure that student organizations know about those,” Conley said. “So really, the services we have are already great, but we want to make sure that students are actually taking advantage of all of those opportunities and that all student organizations know about the opportunities that they have to receive funding from student government.” Conley also hopes to use her experience as student issues committee chair for student outreach. In that position she has been able to gather input from students through certain activities such as an event called “Pumpkin Probs” where students received a free pumpkin if they offered feedback about the school. “We found different ways to get students interested and get some good feedback from students,” Conley said. Reed, a freshman, has no experience in SGA. Her main goal should she be elected is to look into budget reform. As treasurer she would in particular research the funding received by Greek organizations. However, those are not her only targets. “Not just frats but other organizations as well,” Reed said. “I just think [the budget] needs to be split up a little bit better so everybody can get a piece.”

DREAM Forward Concert A.J. VASSAR IS HELPING TO PLAN CONCERT TO CELEBRATE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON
Former student’s company planning ‘I Have a Dream’ concert CALANDRA JONES-JACKSON ARROW REPORTER
A.J. Vassar, a former Southeast Missouri State University student, has relocated to Atlanta to pursue his dream as an entrepreneur. His company was chosen to help host the 50th anniversary concert for the “I Have a Dream” speech. In addition to owning his own company and helping with the concert, Vassar is also a motivational speaker who speaks to business professionals and to students.
Q: When did you graduate from Southeast Missouri State University? A: I never graduated. I finished all the requirements for graduation, but I never applied for graduation. Sad I know, but that’s what it is.
Q: What type of business are you in? A: I own a technology company and a management/consultant company.
Q: What’s the name of your company? A: Name of the technology company is Cybertiseit, and the management/consulting company is Action Worldwide Enterprises.
Q: Why did you chose to relocate to Atlanta? A: I moved to Atlanta to pursue my dreams of creating a world-class business. One of my mentors, who used to be a former client when I owned a barber shop in Cape, owns Signature Packaging in Jackson, Mo. He told me if I wanted to own a business like him and not just own a job that I needed to learn how to sell and lead people. Atlanta seemed like a great spot to start over.

Q: What is the “I Have a Dream” concert?
Q: Who will be performing?
A:The name of the concert is the “Dream Forward Concert.” It is going to be a multicultural and genre-cultural concert to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington. The goal of the concert is to bring entertainers and celebrities together to help commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington and “I Have a Dream” speech.
A: The performers are not being named yet because of our PR and marketing plan.
Q: When and where does it take place? A: The concert will take place August 24, 2013,
in Washington, D.C.
Q: What types of performances will there be? A: There will be a variety of artists performing including gospel artists, pop, R&B, rap, country, Latin, etc.
Q: How did your company win the contract to put on the concert? A: My company has been working with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in the technology arena. We developed their mobile app, so we have formed a great relationship because of it. When the opportunity came up to come up with ideas to help them
enhance the experience in Washington, D.C. we started brainstorming. Myself, my business partner Eric Mayers and my friend, four time Grammy-nominated producer Kendrick Dean, came up with the idea. We put in our pitch, and they agreed on working with us.
Q: What does the “I Have a Dream” speech mean to you? A: I grew up saying the speech in church during our Black History Month programs. Now as I’m older and I’ve had the pleasure to meet his daughter, Bernice King, it means something totally different than just a speech at church. Dr. King stood up against a system of injustice and inequality so that our generation can have the freedoms they have now. He gave his life so that my life could be better. Dr. Bernice King lost her dad so that I may enjoy life. That speech means something totally different to me now because I don’t look at
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as an icon anymore, but I look at him as someone’s dad, husband and brother. That dad and husband unselfishly sacrificed his family’s peaceful life so that I can now have a peaceful life. That’s love!
Q: What does your company expect to gain from this concert? A: We expect to raise a new awareness on the speech given by Dr. King. We want people to walk away with three new principles concerning the “I Have a Dream” speech. Those principles are: 1. Learn the Dream, 2. Live the Dream, 3. Advance the Dream. Dr. King practiced non-violence to stop the violence that was taking place ... in our country at the time concerning civil rights. We want to raise an awareness of those non-violence principles to stop the violence happening in our country now.
Are you going to vote in the SGA elections and why?
Stephanie Buchanan Yeah, I’ll probably go ahead and vote.
Ryan Everett I wasn’t planning on it because I don’t know enough about the candidates, but if I learn more about them I will.
Nick Moody I do because it’s part of your job as a student because they’re going to be controlling what goes on here at Southeast.

DUI case debates legality of drawing blood IN THE CASE OF MCKNEELY V. MISSOURI A DECISION WILL BE MADE REGARDING FOURTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS
Case originating in Cape Girardeau will be decided by US Supreme Court HANNAH PARENT STAFF WRITER
A Cape Girardeau Driving While Intoxicated case has made it all the way to the Supreme Court. In Mckneely v. Missouri, the Supreme Court will decide if the extraction of blood evidence without a warrant is a violation of the fourth amendment rights of Driving Under the Influence suspects. Tyler G. McNeely was pulled over in Cape Girardeau by a state trooper in October of 2010 and was accused of driving under the influence. He was asked to take four roadside sobriety tests, which he failed according to the police report. He then refused to take an on-site Breathalyzer test. McNeely was transported to a medical clinic without warrant to have his blood taken. His blood test revealed that his blood-alcohol level was more than twice the .08 limit, and he was subsequently arrested for DUI. A trial court decided to exclude the blood test evidence after McNeely’s attorney argued it was taken both without a warrant and without his client’s consent. An appellate court used the 1966 Supreme Court case Schmerber v. California as a precedent to overturn this exclusion. Schmerber v. California found that there are certain instances where a police officer may order the testing of a suspect without violating his fourth amendment rights. The issue of extracting blood evidence from DUI suspects eventually went before the Missouri Supreme Court, which overturned the appellate court and excluded the blood test evidence Gordon Glaus, a Cape Girardeau attorney
who specializes in DUI cases said he has had many cases like Mckneely v. Missouri where he has been successful in getting blood evidence stricken from the record because it was taken without a warrant. Glaus said that the Missouri law enforcement officials are trying to use the Schmerber v. California case to prove their right to get evidence is more important than an individual’s fourth amendment rights. He feels that the Missouri Supreme Court was correct in its decision and hopes the United States Supreme Court will follow suit. “Shmerber v. California is a case they are asking to the court to expand in its holding,” Glaus said. “Shmerber v. California involved a car accident where the driver was taken to the hospital and because of the hospital and the ambulance time and the fact that the driver had to be treated for injuries, they weren’t going to be able to get a search warrant or otherwise test for a blood-alcohol content. And the officers went ahead and had the doctor on staff draw the blood. The Supreme Court allowed it in this case because of the unique circumstances.” Southeast Missouri State University Law Enforcement Academy Director and former Cape Girardeau Police Chief Carl Kinnison said that prior to 2010 it was standard operating procedure to get a warrant to draw blood in DUI arrests, but then the law was rewritten to make it appear that probable cause was enough for an officer to extract blood. “Certain jurisdictions are speedier or quicker about being able to obtain a warrant,” Kinnison said. “The focus here is on the natural dissipation of blood alcohol from
someones blood stream. If it takes two hours, for example, to get a search warrant, somebody may be considered legally intoxicated when they are arrested but two hours later they may be under the limit. It deals with natural dissipation of alcohol and whether or not that constitutes an emergency, which would constitute an exemption from the fourth amendment.” Kinnison said that in some circumstances an officer may lose evidence in waiting to obtain a search warrant in certain cases, so using probable cause may be more effective in certain cases. According to Lt. John Davis of the Cape Girardeau Police Department, officers must follow certain procedures before subjecting suspects to a blood or saliva test. “The four possible tests are blood, urine, breath and saliva,” Davis said. “The breath test is the quickest and easiest. We can do that right in house and get quick results. We have approved instruments by the Missouri Department of Health to take sample of the breath alcohol content immediately. The next two, blood or urine, are fairly simple to obtain, however getting those results involves the substances having to be submitted to the crime lab, so there is a lag in time for test results of blood and urine.” Davis said that if a person is suspected to be on other drugs or refuses a Breathalyzer test, then blood or urine tests have to be used to confirm intoxication. Kinnison said that only around 5 percent of Cape Girardeau DUI cases require blood extraction. “In the past we have always gotten search warrants,” Davis said. “We would contact the
prosecutor, and he would complete a search warrant information application. We would find a judge and wake that judge up, get him to sign it, then we would take that person to the hospital or to a medical clinic and [get someone] to draw that blood. That takes time and alcohol and drugs are being metabolized through the body. After the law was changed, it was determined in some [law enforcement officials’] opinions that we wouldn’t have to get a search warrant, and we would get a more accurate account of how much alcohol or drugs, or identify how much drugs, are in persons body by getting those results quicker.” Davis said that the way the law currently is written it seemed to many officers that getting blood evidence in certain circumstances on suspicion alone was enough because of how fast the body metabolizes alcohol, which is about .012 percent an hour. But since the McKneely case, Davis said the Cape Girardeau Police has gone back to obtaining warrants until the Supreme Court makes a decision. “On the one hand extracting someone’s blood is one of the most intrusive things you can do,” Kinnison said. “If you look at the fourth amendment, the whole amendment is designed to protect persons from unlawful searches and seizures. I think in a perfect world a warrant would be appropriate. The problem is the dissipation of alcohol from the bloodstream.” The case went before the United States Supreme Court last month, and a ruling is set to be made this summer.

HOW to succeed on a first date A-TEAM MEMBERS DISCUSS THEIR DATING EXPERIENCES AND SHARE HELPFUL TIPS TO REMEMBER
A-Team members give advice for the best results on a first date JEN GRADL A-TEAM MEMBER
BILLY SCHMITZ A-TEAM MEMBER
First dates. In my personal opinion, I hate them. They’re not only awkward and slightly uncomfortable, but I’ve found that they either go really, really well or absolutely horrible. This past summer, I decided to go on a little dating frenzy after my boyfriend of a year broke up with me, and it made me hate first dates. Back in high school, when a date would arrive at my house, my mom would be there to open the door to politely greet him and make small talk. It was tolerable but slightly embarrassing, so I thought when I got to college I wouldn’t have to deal with that meet-and-greet anymore. But I came to learn that living in a house with four other roommates is by far worse. Whenever I have a date arrive, they all work their hardest to embarrass me. They’re lucky I love them. The actual date part, like I said, can go one of two ways. If it goes good the small talk and banter over dinner flows smoothly, a connection is made and time flies by. But if it goes horribly, the two-hour date drags on for what seems like an eternity. In most of my experiences, the dates I’ve gone on have been pretty horrible. I once had a guy ask to meet me at McDonald’s. I don’t know why I even agreed to go, but I did, and when I got there I realized he was drunk. Yes, drunk. I don’t think I could ever express how horrified and disgusted I was. Did he feel like he had to be completely wasted to meet me? Regardless of his excuse, he definitely didn’t get a second date even though he asked several times for one. Another time I went out to eat with a guy and as we were about to leave, he walked out the door first and literally slammed the door in my face. I was completely shocked and looked at him until he responded with “I was just trying to be a jerk.” According to him, being a jerk was the best way to have a successful date and impress a girl. Well, he was wrong. Luckily, the date ended shortly after and even though he called me 10 minutes later and asked for a second date, I told him no. The two dates I mentioned are probably the worst ones I’ve experienced, but don’t get me wrong, they haven’t all been bad. Some dates have been absolutely perfect, but my dislike of the awkwardness and
So ladies, that cute guy asked you out and you accepted. Congratulations! Now what? As guys, we often get in our own heads about the dating game. While actually asking someone to go out and getting accepted is a big hurdle, for many guys, first dates are a bigger issue. I have had mostly positive first dates — or at least I think I have, judging from dates that followed and the positive feedback I’ve gotten. I often talk to friends (both guys and girls) about their experiences, and give advice to them. So hopefully I can help you, as well. Here, I will mainly give some advice to the ladies from a guy’s perspective. Tips for the ladies: 1) Don’t be unrealistic. Honestly, this is where I think a lot of the anxiety for us guys comes from. If you don’t expect us to be Ryan Gosling, we won’t expect you to be Jennifer Lawrence. Come in with an open attitude. Until, you know, we do something stupid. 2) Traditionally, men are to pick the activity. And it seems like women enjoy it when a man has a plan. In my opinion, there is a lot to be said when a guy mans-up and takes initiative, and I try to abide by this policy. However, if he asks you for help picking the activity, please give us some assistance. There are a number of reasons we do this: nerves, anxiety or maybe he thinks he could really like you and doesn’t want to screw it up right away. Give us time for that! Don’t play the game of “Oh, whatever you want to do is fine.” Sidebar: We also do not enjoy that about picking places to eat if we ask you. A girl that knows what she wants to eat gains major points. We’re guys. We will almost always be cool with whatever eatery you choose. Back on track, if he’s already nervous and has to pick, he’s already a bit behind the old 8-ball on making this a success, and he knows it, thus nerves and the dreaded awkwardness. Want to avoid that? Cool, us too. Help us out. 3) Please be ready on time. When and if we’re dating, that extra time may grow to be endearing. (Unless it’s consistently an hour, because seriously?!) Most guys are generally anxious and full of nerves about this. It goes a long way to helping quell these feelings

when we say we’ll pick you up at 7, and when we ring your doorbell at 7, you are ready to go. Also, please don’t overdress. We will not be going to prom, do not dress like it. If you don’t know the activity and are worried about what to wear, ask. 4) Help us during the date. Steer conversation to a topic of interest to you. It’s standard that you talk and we listen for the majority of the conversation. I would not recommend that. Back-and-forth conversation is the best way to go about a date. Both parties will learn more about the other that way. Good conversation is also the best way to show your personality and sense of humor. Lastly, don’t make the ending awkward. There is no hard and fast rule for guys about how to handle the end of a date. We have to play it by ear. Please try to help us out. We are not the smartest about judging that. Quick-hitters for the guys: -Do not go to the movies. At least not exclusively. You are supposed to actually talk on a first date. -Have a backup plan in case Plan A fails. -Be chivalrous. Pick her up at the door, compliment her appearance early in the date and open doors. -Tell her what to expect. Give her a timeframe and a general idea of what to wear. Women are planners. -Play to your crowd. For example, you have a date with an athletic girl who likes sports? Catch a ballgame and walk around the park to talk. -You pay. Most girls will at least put up a fight, but just say it’s your pleasure and move on. In further dates and ultimately a relationship, it will likely even out. - You know you can be a slob, but you certainly don’t need to dress and act like one. -Handle the ending like a gentleman. Walk her to her door. -If you want to pursue further, call within the next day or two. Don’t send her a text or Facebook message. Happy dating!

stress of first dates remains the same. We spend half of our lives in school, but I have never had a course that taught me anything about dating. It’s a trial-and-error experience, which kind of makes dates intimidating. Yes, we can watch the movies and build our expectations off of what we see, but let’s face it, that’s not real life. While writing this, I thought about what my criteria for a guy is when he takes me out on a date and came up with a list of four things that I would advise to any guy who wants to take that special girl out on a date. 1) Actually take the girl OUT somewhere. Go out to eat, the movies, bowling, what have you, but actually take her out. Hanging out at either of your houses watching a movie doesn’t count as a date. That’s something eighth graders do. 2) Compliment her on how she looks. This may seem like a no-brainer, but I can recount a few times where the guy I was out with either didn’t compliment me or waited until halfway through the night to make a comment on the way I look. Most girls take a decent amount of time and effort to look good for you guys, so complimenting her within the first five minutes not only scores you brownie points, but it makes the girl feel good and confident. 3) Be chivalrous. Nothing is more annoying to me than when a guy walks through a door, doesn’t hold it open for me and lets it slam in my face. It’s not that you have to pick up her spoon for her and feed her, but opening up the car door and restaurant door is not only going to impress her, it’s a sign of respect. 4) If the date goes well, and you want to see her again, then tell her that. I can always tell when a date goes well when the guy calls or texts me later that night to thank me for going out with him. Nothing is worse for us girls than when we don’t hear from the guy for a few days because then we’re in limbo, wondering if he likes us or if he doesn’t.
