Men Stumble in Stilettos (For a Good Cause) Walk a Mile in Her Shoes comes to Stetson Amber Cox Staff Writer Have you ever heard the old saying, “You can’t really understand another person until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes?” Well, this outlook was brought to Stetson by Wellness & Recreation on April 8 for The Walk a Mile in Her Shoes Campaign, which literally asks men to walk in women’s high-heeled shoes. Not just for kicks and giggles (though there definitely were giggles), the event was a unique way to start conversation about something that is uncomfortable to discuss: sexual violence against women. Serving as preventive education, Walk a Mile in Her Shoes aims to help men better understand women’s experiences. Each year, schools across the nation participate in this playful opportunity to improve gender relationships and ultimately, decrease the potential for sexual violence. Stetson
has decided to join in on the fun. Terrance Harris, Assistant Director of Wellness and Recreation, said, “We did the event with Alpha Chi Omega last year, and we wanted to do it again to bring awareness to the sexual violence against women and to show that it is not easy to be in a woman’s shoes.” Dyman Miller, the vice president of the Wellness Interns, said that they decided to hold the event in April because it is is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Since they held the event before, they wanted to “make it different by incorporating obstacles.” The obstacle course featured stations that asked the men participating to answer various questions about sexual assault or bystander situations. Other aspects of the walk featured hula hoops, navigating cones, and even carrying sandbags. In contrast to the event’s name, however, the gentleman participating in
Stetson’s event did not actually have to walk a mile. “But,” Harris said “they still get the feeling with the obstacle course.” “We also have girls holding cat-calling signs, which is demeaning and degrading, but goes with the theme of awareness and showing men what being in women’s shoes is like,” Miller added. Harris added that the overall support and involvement for the event has been great. “We have had a lot of football players and fraternity members participate,” he said. After completing the obstacle course, Stetson student Bruno Alvez said what he took away from the event was that “just like small barriers are harder with heels, small gender biases can create huge issues.” Ty Hamer, another Stetson student, agreed and said, “It is good to bring awareness to the topic.” “Wedges aren’t that bad though,” Hamer jokingly added.

Stetson men try their hand—or really, their foot—at high heels while learning about the issue of sexual assault. Meanwhile, girls hold up “cat-calling signs,” giving the men a taste of what it’s like being in womens’ shoes, literally and figuratively.

Time to Get Trashy, Stetson Orgs bring awareness to compost on campus

Sarah Dean News and Layout Editor Stetson Environmental Club and Hatter Harvest are working together to expand opportunities for composting on campus. Currently, Hatter Harvest manages a small compost area behind the Rinker Environmental Learning Center, but this is one trash pile that actually needs to grow. Environmental Club member Logan Dodson has been a major part of the efforts recently, and he says that getting the word out about the compost pile and inviting students, as well
as community members, to participate will be the key to its success. “Having an existing composting site on Stetson’s campus greatly benefits members of the Stetson community who live in apartments because it may not be possible to compost where they live,” said Environmental Club President Justin Baumann. To help with the composting efforts, students only need to separate their organic waste and bring it to the pile, which, as Baumann points out, is conveniently located in an easily-accessible on-campus area. Composting is helpful from an environmental
standpoint because it helps reduce the amount of natural waste in landfills, which causes the growing buildup of methane gas, a contributing factor to climate change. The compost is also a free and natural source of nutrients for the Hatter Harvest garden. According to Dodson, both organizations have big plans for the compost pile, which include expanding it to a city-wide effort and getting Dining Services on board to compost natural waste from the dining hall. The compost pile is still a work-in-progress, but is literally growing every day with help from environmentally-conscious students.

The Pursuit of “Intelligence”
Fulfillment of the self as told by a college senior of the millennial generation Garen Knight Freed Arts & Entertainment Editor At the present moment, it seems that humanity as a whole has yet to agree upon a sole, concrete explanation to the grandest of all questions: “Why?” Why are we here? Why do we exist? Why does existence itself exist? And, whether it be due to a challenging religious or spiritual doctrine or personal beliefs, no one can truly agree upon a solid answer. Until a few months ago, I had no idea how to even remotely begin to answer this question. Then, something happened. I can’t put a precise date and time on the happening of this particular “event," but it did indeed happen. Regarding what happened, I can only explain it as being a “spiritual awakening” or “epiphany.” Now, when I use these phrases, I am not aligning with any one religion or philosophy; rather, I am referring to finally achieving comprehension and the ability to provide a fulfilling answer to the question “why?” With that said, the trigger of my epiphany is undoubtedly linked to my deciding to make drastic alterations to my life “plan.” To my peers that are joined with me on the verge of life, I implore you all to ask yourselves: when is the last time you weren’t on a school schedule? Even if you served in the armed forces for a few years before embarking towards an undergraduate education, were you not on a strict P.T. or duty schedule? While schedules can seem monotonous, the truth is: the schedule is comfortable. The schedule is easy. The schedule is what we know. From our first days of Pre-K to our last days of college finals, we are given a plan every four to six months that will dictate the majority of the functions in our lives. Some of us may be looking at the next phase of our life and wondering: “What is the next plan?” I know I was for quite a while. The plan always dictated that I would attend law school right after earning my undergraduate degree, then become a practicing attorney by the age of 25 or so. But, the thing is, this plan scared the living shit out of me. I used to tell people my plan when the topic of futures came about, and the reaction was always the same every time: “Oh my god, Garen, you have everything figured out! It must feel awesome!” Well, not quite. I would like to make it clear that I am extremely appreciative of the fact that I was able to at least have a plan for a successful future when so many other people in this world are never given a solid and fair chance. My mentality towards my future was nevertheless hindered by my uneasiness with regards to the plan. But, it was the moment in which I decided to deviate from the plan and let go of the comfort of having it that I was able to understand what the meaning of life is essentially about, which I will be getting to briefly.
am able to pass on the tools of how to engage in a positive direction to all of my students. I understand most people will not go into teaching, and that is perfectly okay. However, that does not mean that every single person on Earth that is working towards a positive direction won’t be able to achieve true “intelligence.” The truth is evident in that with every encounter we have with someone (either personal or through various forms of communication), we all have the ability to impact each other’s lives and spread the positive direction throughout the world. So what can we do now? Well, we can be people. We can enjoy the unique qualities that we all possess as individuals. We can be proud of ourselves: our bodies, our minds, and our spirits. Today, there is such a pressure forced on so many young men and women to portray a certain aesthetic and body image that aligns with what is “in.” As long as someone is typically making positive decisions regarding their own health, how dare we judge anyone based on their core identity? However, earlier, I mentioned the term ‘achievement’. This notion of achievement is the most critical part of the direction of life. It is the fuel to the future.

The Genius of the Early Onset Senioritis Free Application A byproduct of the best Elizabeth Cirri Staff Contributor
I got a call from Stetson when I was going through the process of applying to college. I had never heard of the university before, but when the caller mentioned that applying to the university was free, I thought to myself: “what do I have to lose?” Thus, I applied. Stetson made its way into my top university picks very easily. After a few months of awaiting replies and financial aid notices, I decided to choose Stetson as my undergraduate home. Nearly every time I speak with someone about why or how they came to Stetson, the free application always somehow ends up in the conversation. Is it really that much of an allurement to students? Yes, there are
some students who had already heard of Stetson or were destined to come here. But, there are many who simply filled out the free application, thinking why the heck not?, got in, earned a scholarship, and decided to enroll. This is what happened to me, this is what happened to my roommate, and this is what happened to many of my friends. Stetson is doing something right. Whether or not we should pay to see if we will get into our top universities is a debatable question. There must have been a lot of thought put into this educational practice. The application fee must have been created to make sure only truly devoted students apply to their favorite schools. And yet, Stetson, chooses to make its application free. Many schools charge up to a $75 dol-
lar application fee. Duke charges $85, and Stanford charges $90. Yet the “Ivy of the South” has decided to make applications free? One may ask why. But many have argued that they know the reason. I would not be at Stetson if the application was not free, and neither would many of my friends. Whether or not the free application is the right thing for Stetson overall is not for me to say, but it surely seems to be working in terms of getting more people to apply. Yes, the free application may cost the University a few dollars, but by doing this, Stetson is putting its name out there for many who did not have the school on their radar. Stetson is showing how generous it really is, and their generosity is paying off. Hats off to you Stetson; I commend your liberality.

semester of my life
Daniel Ureña Staff Contributor Akin to many of you, I put a lot of effort into getting into college. After arriving at Stetson, though admittedly much more relaxed, I continued to put a lot of effort into my classes. But, something happened: last fall, I spent a semester “inbroad,” as I like to call it, in Washington D.C. as part of an exchange program Stetson has with American University. Almost universally, everyone who has spent a semester of study away from their home school has agreed that it was the best semester of their entire college experience. This was the case with me. Specifically, I loved the unique
academic model of the program I attended, which consisted of three days a week of criminal justice field trips, interactive lectures by experts in the field, and informed in-depth classroom debates of criminal justice policy. In fact, as so often happens with these programs, upon my return, I realized that this experience had set the benchmark for “the perfect class” inordinately high. U.S. News defined “senioritis” as “a general apathy toward school work that is developed after years of schooling at an institution.” For me, studying away from Stetson accelerated the symptoms of this seemingly inevitable condition. There was no longer a venue in which I could count on a strong academic debate of the eccentricities, failures, limitations, and theoretical goals of the criminal justice system, one of my favorite topics. Despite the fact that I am still a junior, many of the usual symptoms of senioritis have begun to ap-
pear, including apathy in preparing for classes, and even exams. Of course, there are ways to offset and even eradicate this problem. The fear of having your GPA crater, thereby extinguishing any hopes of being accepted at a good graduate school and succeeding in life, is a particularly strong motivator. However, the only truly effective method of countering your apathy is to become passionate about something. This is one of the main reasons why students who return after a semester away create new organizations, are extremely involved in existing organizations, and become leaders. The reality is they are overwhelmingly bored. Of course, this prescription also applies to a normal bout of senioritis, which is caused by sometimes over 16 years of full time learning. I guess there is only so much I can do to combat this… what’s new on Netflix?

Do You Blog? Learn how to turn blogging into more than just a hobby Sarah Dean News and Layout Editor While at the National College Journalism Conference in Los Angeles, I attended a couple sessions about blogging successfully and using blogs not only to build your professional image, but even turning your blog into a full-blown career. Blogging is a great platform. If you have knowledge about a certain subject, you can blog it. Establishing credibility is step one to blogging. Choosing a topic might seem difficult, but consider the things you know most about, or that you enjoy doing most, and you will find it is easier than expected to write about them. However, it is important to think long-term when it comes to content. You want the topic to be trendy or of interest, but think of how long you want to sustain your blog. For example, blogging about food or fashion can employ all the latest trends, but are still timeless topics. The main issue faced by many amateur bloggers is gaining a significant following. Sometimes, it can be difficult to get your content noticed by a large audience, or even any audience. This was brought up several times by other current and potential bloggers as a real and frustrating concern. The main tips offered up by more successful bloggers for “getting noticed” include: 1. Use hashtags. Tagging your piece with as many different categories as possible will make it more visibly searchable within whatever platform you are using and beyond. 2. A step further than hashtags is to look into Google Analytics. This can help get a webpage picked up by search engines, which can get particular posts
In February 2015, The Reporter staff visited the Associated Collegiate Press National College Journalism Conference in Los Angeles, California. Each attending staff member went to a variety of sessions and workshops, and the staff as whole learned many tips and acquired new skills to bring back to Stetson. In addition to learning, everyone had their own adventures exploring the city and the culture it had to offer. Here’s a small glimpse of what we saw, heard, and experienced. All photos featured are by Katie Dezes, Garen Freed, and Nicole Frechette.
noticed on a very large scale. However, this plays into what lies in the content: what your blogging about has to be something searched about often and specifically. 3. Post as regularly as possible, and attempt to keep wordy posts down in the 300-500 word range. It will keep current followers’ attention and make the blog look easy to read and appealing for new potential readers. 4. Email your blog or particular posts to larger websites. They may want to use your content or, if it’s particularly impressive, feature your writing on their own site. 5. Sharing is key; share your blog on social media as much as possible. Word of mouth is more powerful than you would expect. 6. Make it look nice. Nobody wants to see a webpage that looks like it came straight out of 1996. Attracting and keeping attention can be done with a noticeable, but simple layout. The sad thing is, even some of the most aesthetically-pleasing, well-written blogs do not get noticed right away. But, just like everything in life, the key is to keep trying. This point was stressed harder than anything else: keep at it, and eventually, someone will notice. Other general blogging tips: Use a reliable site. Wordpress is the most highly-recommended. If you are really, really serious about your blog, buy it a real domain name rather than using a free one provided by a blogging site. Keep it real, honest, and reliable. Being credible is especially important. You want your blog to be interesting, but when your readers or followers find out you’re pushing the truth (and it is the internet, so if you are lying, someone will figure it out), you and your blog’s reputations are in hot water.

Better Your Interview Skills Five tips to gain better information from your subjects
Sam Votaw Managing Editor Although the art of interviewing is presumed to be a task for journalists or edgy detectives, there is often a time and place for its role in academia. Chances are, you may have already been assigned to interview someone for a class here at Stetson. Whether it was for one off project or multiple entries in a research project, more and more colleges are becoming focused on harnessing student’s ability to conduct an interview.
Interviews by nature are kind of intimidating. If you’re prone to interview jitters or just flat out stink at asking another human being some questions, these tips will help, whether its for school or you aspire to write journalistically. 1. Understand that interviews are more than just “asking questions.” Some people tend to think that an interview starts and ends with questions asked. Wrong. Interviews should be a purposeful conversation meant to pull important information from a subject, and the interviewer should be aware
of all essential facets of the conversation such as responses, setting, etc. The end result is based on how well the interviewer has paid attention throughout the whole process. 2. Gather some background. Understand you cannot walk into an interview with no idea of what your subject will talk about. Yes, you’re asking questions to find out more about something, but at least do some research on your subject and whatever concept you’re beseeching them about before you meet with them. It makes you look well prepared as well
as helps you with any follow up questions you may have during the process. 3. Form a relationship conducive to just obtaining info. Your subject will likely be interested in reading the article you are interviewing them for before it’s published. Establish a friendly bond during and after the interview in case you need to reach them again down the line. It also makes the conversation process easier if you imagine you’re talking to a friend. 4. Always in person, sometimes by phone, NEVER by email!
This almost goes without saying. In person interviews yield the best results since the subject has a full range of actions to take during the scheduled time. Phone calls are acceptable when there are scheduling conflicts but are less preferable. While emails might seem like a great idea, there is a lack of interpersonal touch, timeliness, and above all else, the possibility of untrustworthy info if it’s with someone you haven’t directly spoken to before. Email should only be used “when hell freezes over.”
5. Take precautions with audio recorders. Audio recorders are optimum for documenting and referring back to interview answers. Make sure the device is clearly picking up everything needed, and make sure it’s charged. No matter how good you think your shorthand is or how foolproof whatever device you plan to tape the interview is, always take the necessary steps to lessen the chance for the loss of data. Following these general steps can set you in the right direction for whatever type of interview you plan on conducting.

How to Meet Famous People Without Being an Actor NBC’s Simon Heuer shares his experience as a journalist in the entertainment industry Caroline Williams Staff Writer When The Reporter went to Los Angeles for a convention in February, we were given the opportunity to hear from several great journalists on various topics, such as how to make our interviews better, how to improve our technical writing, how to spice up the layout of the paper, etc. Those were all very useful sessions, but then there were others that were geared toward career hunting. These provided journalists with new perspectives on how to use their English or communications degrees without having to work at a mundane, small-town local paper. My favorite career oriented session was called “Writing for TV.” Simon Heuer, Entertainment Coordinator at NBC Comedy Development, showed aspiring journalists and writers that they can use their communication skills in the television industry by writing scripts or becoming producers. As an Entertainment Coordinator, Heuer and a team of other executives and writers find new shows to air during the fall season. The entire process takes longer than one might imagine. It is divided into three seasons: Pitch season, staffing season, and material season. Pitch season happens from July to October. Writers with ideas for shows will team up with an agent or a producer and sell their idea to a studio. The studio may then sell it to a network. A pitch is about 45 minutes long, and the studio/network will hear up to 400 pitches in a season. To make your pitch stand out, it has to be extremely creative. “A good pitch is compelling and has unique character descriptions,” said Heuer. “How do your characters react to mundane and relatable things?” Each pitch needs to include two sentences explaining the overall theme, and the writer has to have detailed character descriptions. Heuer listened to one pitch from a writer who described his fictional characters by making fake Twitter accounts for them and reading the last thing they would have tweeted. Another writer described her characters with a list of things they would have Googled in the past 24 hours. After the writer describes the theme and the characters, he or she presents her idea for the pilot and a few other episodes. Approximately 80 of those 400 pitches will make it past the pitch season. If the network is interested, they will buy a script of the first episode. The writer then must compose a 10page outline of the pilot episode. Once the network makes revisions, the writer has four weeks to write a script. Staffing season then begins. In January, the network selects their fa-
vorite scripts from the 80 pitches, and that number dwindles down to about 12. Once those 12 shows are confirmed, the network starts the staffing and casting process. When that is completed, the cast will meet each other and sit around a table to do a first reading of the script. This usually happens early in the year, around March. By this time, the original script writer doesn’t have as much say as they did during pitch season. They are able to go on set and make suggestions and such, but it is ultimately up to the producers to make final decisions. In May, networks will hire 10 to 12 people as script writers for one of the shows they’ve picked up. These writers sit in a room all day, bounce ideas off each other, and are responsible for writing the rest of the script for the show while maintaining the original writer’s voice. Writers spend a lot of time on set, interacting with directors, producers, and actors. Although this kind of career sounds fantastic and glamorous, it is very competitive. Writers will not always get to write for their favorite shows, and many shows get cancelled if they don’t receive adequate ratings in the fall. It is also more difficult to find a job in show business. “You have to love stories and characters. To be able to work in this business, you have to identify what is strong, what is going to resonate with people, what works and what doesn’t.” In order to start in the TV business, Heuer suggested picking your favorite network and then watching those shows. “Look at the end credits. Research the studios and production companies listed—find out if they have job or internship openings.” If you want to apply to be a writer, Heuer advised having writing samples at your disposal. Blogging and building up your presence on social media will be a big asset when hunting for jobs in the TV business. Heuer also suggested looking into the “Page Program.” This is a post-college program that lasts for about a year. It helps college graduates navigate the choppy waters of the TV and entertainment business. Heuer participated in the Page program right after college, and it helped him make connections to get to where he is today. “Have material samples ready, he said. “Do an internship as a production assistant. Then you can move up to writer’s assistant and then you can move up to staff writer. It is important to make connections as an intern.” You can follow Simon Heuer on twitter at twitter.com/simonheuer, or email him at simon.heuer@nbcuni. com.

DeLandapalooza “Goes Big”
A student describes her local music festival experience Shadee Rios Staff Photographer Saturday April 11, Downtown Deland held its 4th annual DeLandapalooza Original Music Festival. Woodland Blvd was packed all day with people from all around Florida and abroad. The festival started at 1 p.m. and lasted until midnight, with over 170 bands and artists performing. Several streets were also packed with different food and art vendors. I attended DeLandapalooza this year because one of my good friends Warren Campbell, a senior Stetson communications major, was playing a set at The Nest that night. I spent the majority of the day exploring the festival with a friend, trying different foods and taking pictures. We saw several bands of all kinds of genres, even some solo acts at restaurants like De La Vega and Half Wall.
At night, I met up with some more friends for Warren’s show at The Nest. Warren’s set was one of the best I’ve ever seen him play. His version of Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Boxer” was incredible; he made it into a much more upbeat, danceable song. His original song “Dark December,” which is about a scorned man who kills himself in front of the devil, seriously gave me chills while sitting amongst the wind chimes and dimly lit décor of The Nest. After his performance, we walked some more downtown despite it drizzling outside. One of the highlights of my night was watching Tampa-based band Dropin Pickup perform at Café Da Vinci. A friend in our group knew one of the band members and we went over to their stage for support. This band seriously blew me away and were definitely one of the best performers
of the night, besides Warren of course. They’re a little bit rock, a little bit funk, and really great to dance to. The lead singer has one of the coolest voices I’ve ever heard, and their addition of a violin and trumpet player makes their sound totally unique. By the time this show ended, I had explored pretty much every inch of downtown, and my feet were killing me. So, we headed over to Persimmon Hollow for some beer and pool before moving on to the nights next adventure. This festival was seriously great and makes me regret not attending it in years past. Though DeLand is a small town, when they put on an event, they go BIG. I’d definitely encourage anyone to go to this fest if they can next year. The tickets are cheap, the food is tasty, and the vibe is nothing short of a good time.

What’s New on Netflix
Sarah Dean News and Layout Editor Movies: Fan of the Phantom? There are now several renditions of the classic Phantom of the Opera available, including the 2004 musical movie starring Gerard Butler, the 25th anniversary live performance at the Royal Albert Hall (a perfect choice if you’d love to see an extremely high-caliber performance of the hit musical live but can’t get to Broadway), and the freshly-added horror version of the tale from 1989, starring Robert Englund of Nightmare on Elm Street as a very ghoulish version of the opera ghost in an all-new, contemporary setting. Sadly, you won’t get to hear Freddie sing because this rendition is ironically music-free.
Settle in to The Graduate (1967), and enjoy an amazing soundtrack by Simon and Garfunkel, including the hit song “Mrs. Robinson.” Or, pick a classic of a slightly different speed: This is Spinal Tap (1984). This rock music mockumentary will have you bobbing your head to a different kind of beat. While it may have been overlooked immediately after its release, Spinal Tap serves an important place in history and has a place in the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry to prove it. If you’re a fan of American Psycho, you can rejoice. The 2000 cult classic has returned to Netflix, along with its questionable 2002 sequel, American Psycho 2: All-American Girl, starring Mila Kunis. Finally, if you don’t feel like singing, sighing, or screaming, you can break out your tissue box for Titanic, the 1997 hit starring everyone’s favorite Oscar-less leading man, Leonar do DiCaprio. I wouldn’t have let go, Jack.
Television: If you like cartoons and haven’t experienced Bob’s Burgers yet—go. Do it now. Seasons one through four are now available for you to watch (five times in a row). Already addicted to Mad Men? The first half of season 14 (episodes 1-7) is now up. Whether you’re a history buff, a spy buff, or just want to see America’s founding citizens kicking ass and taking names, you’ll love TURN: Washington’s Spies. Season one is ready to watch, and if you’re already raving for more, the second season premiered this past Monday on A&E, so you can jump right in.

The Ten to Two: The DeLand Stockyard
Modern Masterpiece is a Love Letter to 70’s Horror Films It Follows masterfully taps into primal anxieties
Whether you are looking for a boozy brunch, an all-you-can-get buffet brunch, or perhaps a pancake brunch that will make you believe in love again, we will be giving you the low-down on DeLand’s greatest brunch spots each issue until we run out of places to share.
Amber Cox Staff Writer
Though The DeLand Stockyard is a bit out of the way and the service can be slow, the rustic and historically-rich restaurant has an all-you-can-eat buffet and bottomless-booze brunch that is worth the hassle. Housed in a former lodge built in the 1920s, the restaurant has a quaint ranch house-esq style with a bit of a stale, grandmotherly vibe. However, it does have a lovely outdoor patio that occasionally features live music. Fortunately, the scrumptious food and drinks more than make up for what the space lacks in personality and youth. This brunch spot in DeLand is well known amongst locals and is typically quite packed. But don’t let that scare you away. It’s packed for a good reason. For $13.95 patrons have access to the heavily stocked all-you-can-eat buffet, which features a variety of homemade dishes, and can upgrade to the yummy bottomless mimosas for only $10. The Mega Mary was perfection: a
house-made Bloody Mary mix with Absolut Vodka, celery, and cucumber, garnished with shrimp. Favorites dishes include the hearty made-to-order omelettes, which definitely come from happy chickens, and the fluffy thick-cut French toast—it was poetry in my mouth. There is an overwhelming amount of food available, so even the ficklest of eaters will be sure to find something they’ll love. The buffet includes the usual breakfast items: bacon, sausage, biscuits, potatoes, and pancakes. It also has bright salads, fresh fruit, macaroni and cheese, ham, grits, lasagna, homemade cinnamon rolls, bagels, a variety of breads, and even a carving station that serves sliced beef. Keep in mind that brunch here means you won’t be eating or doing much else for the rest of the day. Chances are you’ll spend the remainder of your Sunday afternoon splayed out on your bed and rubbing your belly with a content smile on your face—in other words, a Sunday well-spent.

Sam Votaw Managing Editor Horror films of the 21st century have earned a relatively bad name. With heavy reliance on cheap jump scares or abundant soakings of blood and gore that water down the strategies of generating fear, most films in today’s industry lack the longevity of instilling a deep seeded fear post watching experience. The first entry of the Paranormal Activity series, regarded by some as the last great demonstration of true fear, was a rejuvenating take on the niche subgenre of “found footage” horror, which forces viewers to reconsider their leaving quarters. Oversaturation and loose scripts have since plagued the franchise. Now there is a beacon of hope within the horror genre, one that will likely change how films are released, all while forcing audiences to nervously check their surroundings for a very long time. If one were to traverse DeLand’s rundown suburban lanes or tree covered parks and walkways late at night, a lingering feeling of fear might overcome them. Many of us have experienced this sensation that walking alone outside brings. We fear that someone or something is lurking not too far behind us. Now extend that feeling of paranoia throughout all waking hours of the day, and you have the simple, but beautifully terrifying premise for director David Robert Mitchell’s indie horror film It Follows. Set in the granddaddy of squandered cities that is Detroit, the film stars Maika Monroe as Jay, a young woman plagued after a sexual encounter by a
curse manifesting itself as a supernatural, shapeshifting deity with zombie like speed and relentless determination in pursuit of its target. While the plot may read silly on paper, when audiences first see what this supernatural creature is capable of during the film’s fever pitch opening scene, they’re forced into proceeding with caution. Should it catch you off guard and reach you, it will unspeakably murder you before going back down the line of those previously afflicted. Jay and the audience soon learn the best course of action is to “pass it on.” Even if that occurs, you’re not 100 percent in the clear. Most of what makes It Follows so downright terrifying is its masterful display of generating slow burning doom through flawless cinematography with no introduction of backstory. If one expects a neat and tidy bow of exposition detailing the curse’s origin, they’re out of luck. Instead, viewers are strapped in for the ride with Jay and her likeable group of surprisingly impressionable friends as they are constantly on the look out for whatever strange thing may saunter menacingly into frame. While many interpretations have generically settled that the film is a modern rehash on the decades old “sex equals death” trope of classic slasher films (“What!? So it’s like a walking STD!?,” a young lady murmured next to me at my viewing), there are a variety of inherent factors that make It Follows more than just a pseudo advocacy for abstinence. While sex is the transferable cause for the curse, it is also a saving grace, al-
beit only temporary. Jay and her tight knit friends are shown to take an emotional toll outlasting the phantom’s never-ending hunt, pondering aloud how their youthful innocence is now plagued by terror and dread. A large part of this effect has to do with the spine tingling film score composed by electronic musician Rich Vreeland, aka Disasterpeace. Heavily paying homage to the dreadful, gothic synths of John Carpenter, the film’s theme seems 50 percent Halloween and 50 percent X-Files. The film’s chase sequences are grounded by a punctuated audio motif akin to the shower scene in Hitchcock’s Psycho that dramatically heightens the film’s sense of urgency and anxiety when viewed in theaters. It Follows wasn’t originally planned for a big box office draw during the middle of March—not going up against the premiere of Kevin Hart’s and Will Ferrell’s Get Hard, as well as the culmination of the Fast and Furious franchise within a two week time span. With decent ticket sales and stellar word of mouth reviews aplenty in its limited run, the film was picked up by movie distributor RADiUS, was transferred to Video-on-Demand services, and was shown on more than 1,600 theater screens nationwide. With show times in Deltona and Port Orange theaters over the next several weeks, DeLand residents can take a small road trip to witness easily the most terrifying films in decades—one that will stay inside your head long after the closing credits.

Stetson Falls at Home to UCF in Strikeout Cancer Game
Sean McKnight Sports Editor
Stetson (22-13) fell 9-2 to 17th-ranked UCF in front of a standing-room only crowd this past Wednesday night, despite Demi Meza going 3-for-3 with a single, double, and a home run. Two UCF pitchers combined for 15 strikeouts in the circle, while limiting Stetson to just five hits. “We played a good team, and we didn’t swing the bats very well,” Stetson head coach Frank Griffin said. “I feel like we have a lot of kids swinging too much with their upper body and not using their lower half enough. It is showing at the plate.” This inability of Stetson to capitalize at the plate was their downfall in this game. The Hatters also committed two errors defensively, which led to four unearned runs. “Our defense let us down, which is unusual, but happens,” Griffin said. “It was just one of those nights.” Meza, who had a smash mouth night, doubled in the first inning, walked in the third, and walloped a home run down the left field line in the bottom of the fifth to put Stetson on the board. It was Meza’s 11th home run of the season and the 35th of

the season. Meza was a driving force in this game by Stetson—a bright spot in an otherwise tough night for Stetson softball. This UCF squad was
easily one of the strongest teams Stetson has faced all season. UCF entered the contest with an NCAA-best 0.88 ERA. Although Stetson dropped the ball on defense and their bats fell silent, be-

Madison Atkins Staff Writer Stetson’s women’s lacross team has maintained a competive edge despite suffering two close losses recently. Even though the Lady Hatters had to deal with a 3-1 trail early in their game on Thursday, April 2 against Furman, the team led with a
score of 6-5 at halftime. The team played an extremely competitive game, never letting their opponent get too far ahead. With three goals each, Hallie Merz and Christina Loya held the highest scoring record for the team. Freshman Taylor Patrizi also had an outstanding offensive game, with one assist and two back-to-back goals at the end of the game.
The last few minutes of the game were very intense with the Paladins attempting to run down the clock to hold the victory. Despite their last big charge for a goal within the last 45 seconds of the game, the team fell short 1211. Patrizi commented on the game: “This loss was a tough one and hurt a little more than normal because of how close we were. As a
team, if we keep working as a unit and focus on playing a full, strong 60-minute game, we will find success.” Unfortunately, the team experienced the exact same point deficit on Saturday, April 4, as they lost their game against Detroit, 13-12. The Lady Hatters have three more games in the regular season before the A-Sun Conference Tournament on April 29- May 3.
will end up. Without a doubt, they will be in the hunt for another A-Sun championship as they set their sights for the NCAA tournament.
The National Consortium for Academics and Sports founded National Student Athlete Day in 1987. In correspondence to National Student Athlete Day on April 6, Stetson’s Student Athlete Advisory Council and Academic Success Coordinator, Sarah Frohnapfel, put together an event to celebrate our very own Student Athletes on April 8. In between the home tennis matches and softball games, student athletes enjoyed pizza and drinks outside the ATC. In addition, all athletes with a 3.0 GPA or above re-
ceived a certificate of recognition for all their hard work and dedication to both their school and sport. Stetson had about 65-percent of its athletes receive this honor, totaling to over 250 students. Stetson has also been celebrating their athletes with the Student Athlete of the Month award, based on academic standing and athletic performance. The following athletes received this recognition during this academic year: Madison Akins: September Donald Payne: October Carmen Bernecker: November Jama Sharp: December Kyle Sikora: January Demi Meza: February Chester Espie: March

Battle of the Top Tens
Sand Volleyball remains at the top of their game despite falling to FIU Sean McKnight Sports Editor In a battle of two top ten programs, third-ranked Florida International defeated ninth-ranked Stetson 4-1 on April 10 at Siesta Key Beach. Stetson dropped its third match of the year and their first since March 29. The squad is now 18-3 overall, while FIU improved to 18-1 overall. Stetson’s lone win of the match came at the number one seed, as Kaley Melville and Julie Bassett were able to come from behind and defeat Anja Licka and Maryna Samoday 26-24. Bassett and Melville won the first set before the FIU pair withdrew due to injury in the second set. It was Melville and Bassett’s 18th dual match win in a row. Although Stetson fell to a strong FIU squad, they were still able to easily cruise past all other competition in the A-Sun this season. Back on April 4, the ladies, thanks to a 4-1 victory over Mercer, were able to claim the Atlantic Sun Conference regular season championship and the number-one seed for the A-Sun tournament. It is Stetson’s first regular season title in program history. The driving force behind Stetson’s success this year has been its senior class of 11 student athletes.

Stetson was able to complete their conference play this year with a perfect 8-0 mark, which helped propel them to the top of the Atlantic Sun standings. With their 18 victories, the ladies were also
able to tie the school record for most wins in a season. Head coach Kristina Hernandez spoke candidly on her squad’s success. “They have earned everything they have gotten this year. I am glad they
were able to stay perfect and finish that 8-0 record. Hopefully that will boost our confidence going into the next two weeks of training,” Hernandez said. “Winning the regular season A-Sun title was
great, especially since we did it with a perfect 8-0 conference record,” said senior starter Claudia Kalin. “It is just a helpful stepping stone, however, for us to reach one of our main goals, which is winning the
conference tournament this weekend.” This historic group has a stellar shot at the title and will hopefully make it on to nationals, where they can take on teams the likes of FIU.
