Bringing sexy back

Certified sexologists visit Stetson

Jason Cruz Staff Writer On Sept. 24, two certified sexologists gave students a crash course on safe, pleasurable sex in Lee Chapel to much applause last week.

Dr. Joni Frater and Esther Lastique, who travel the United States delivering lectures at college campuses, visited Stetson for an hourand-a-half discussion of all things sex. The “Sex Ed Boot Camp” focused on developing healthy relationships, engaging in consensual, pleasing sex, and protecting oneself at all times. Though the crowd they drew was small, leaving most of the Chapel empty, their messages resonated with the responsive audience.

Laughter was a constant, and several students comfortably answered and asked questions about their

own sexual experiences.

The sexologists explained what they call the four pillars of a healthy relationship. The pillars (respect, equality, responsibility, and honesty) each point towards treating romantic partners as whole persons, and without any of the four the relationship becomes “categorically abusive,” according to Dr. Frater.

The rest of the evening followed humorously, with each piece of information delivered alongside a joke or two.

Dr. Frater cited her years as a dentist dealing with nervous patients as the source of her ability to discuss traditionally frightening topics with ease. She and Lastique moved deftly from topic to topic, stressing the importance of safety and satisfaction in all sexual acts.

Several shouts of glee came from the audience when the speakers advised that people sleeping with women active-

ly to seek out their clitorises and make sure that female partners orgasm first. Showing annotated photographs of male and female genitalia, Frater and Lastique pointed out the usual sensitive areas partners should pay attention to, but also suggested that people spend time masturbating to discover their personal erogenous zones so that when the time for sexual intimacy arrives they can tell their partners exactly what they do and do not like.

The longtime speakers also shared true stories from other college campuses to illustrate the need for extreme caution in all things. With a yellow condom in her hand, Dr. Frater told the crowd about a man who developed chlamydia after touching his girlfriend’s vagina with his hand, putting a condom on his penis and engaging in vaginal intercourse. Two weeks later he learned that by using the hand with vaginal fluid on it to apply the

condom, he had trapped the chlamydia bacteria in his urethra and sealed the infection. Moral here: “always have a barrier between sexual organs.”

What were other lessons given by the sexologists? A drop of lubricant in the tip of a condom adds sensitivity.

Saran wrap spread over vaginal and anal cavities keeps oral sex safe. The wetter the better (lubricant is a must).

If you’re not panting and sweating, the sex needs improvement. Always find out desires and limits before taking your clothes off. Using a condom too big for your penis can lead to an awkward recovery mission after sex.

On the whole, “Sex Ed Boot Camp” provided (along with free shirts and condoms) an open environment to learn how to keep the messy process of finding romantic partners and having sex safe, orgastic, and worth your precious college time.

Are you registered?

With the presidential primaries inching closer, it’s more important than ever to remember to register to vote!

National Voter Registration day was September 23, and so far this month, 91 students have registered to vote.

“With more attention being paid to voting because of the upcoming 2016 presidential elections, students are much more interested in not just registering to vote, but also signing-up to vote-by-mail, changing their party affiliation so that they can vote in the Presidential Preference Primary in March, and changing their address so that they can vote in DeLand/Florida elections instead of their hometown,” said Assistant Director of Community Engagement Kevin Winchell, who helped students register to vote this month.

Your vote matters. If you missed the opportunity to register in person last week, you can still receive your voter registration form and learn more about registration and voting on registertovote.org. You can also learn more about the candidates and issues at stetson.edu/vote.

Remember, you must be registered to a specific political party to vote for a candidate in the presidential primaries. Unlike the presidential election, you cannot vote outside your party: You are voting within your party to choose who will represent it in the presidential race.

If you want to make a change, get registered and get voting!

SGA WEEKLY

Jason Cruz Staff Writer On Sept. 23 the Student Government Association met in their usual location, the Lynn Business Center’s Rinker Auditorium, at 7:30 pm.

This week, sophomore environmental science student and co-president of Hatter Harvest Sarah Coffey addressed the Senate with an ambitious proposal for legislation directed at improving Stetson’s eco-friendly infrastructure. Coffey asked that a portion of the already-collected student activities fund each Hatter pays into at the beginning of every semester be earmarked to fund projects chosen by students or their representatives.

Citing similar programs at other universities, Coffey described the potential thousands of dollars the university could save each year by cutting back on costly energy sources and moving to more efficient technology, such as LED light bulbs and placing solar panels on building rooftops.

Senators called the feasibility of Coffey’s program into question, noting that the universities she used as successful examples were schools much larger than Stetson and therefore able to pull much more money from small fee raises. Chair of the Diversity and Inclusion committee Brian Wade pointed out that earmarking funds already designated by the university meant other programs would have their funding cut, and wanted to be sure that any legislation drafted explained what those programs would be.

From there the executive officers gave their reports. President Bibbee alerted members that this year’s traffic court, the body which handles student appeals to public safety vehicle citations, has formed and will be meeting to deal with the already swelling number of students ticketed. Tyler Hunt, a Senator, is the court’s chair. Bibbee also told the body that, in response to Stetson’s attempt to build a second Athens Commons off-campus apartment space, the DeLand city council will be considering changes to zoning laws regarding dense population areas. He ended by reminding Senators that without any legislation, the body cannot make effective changes to the university.

The Chief of Staff and Secretary of Communications both called for Senators to fill positions under them, while the Director of Student Involvement Ted Mitchell explained that the next pub pilot night will be

on Oct. 16 and an open forum will be held in the Stetson Room on Sept. 29 to discuss the expansion of student enrollment, ongoing construction, and revisions to the cultural credit system. The secretary of finance was in class.

Vice President Humphrey brought the previously read budget proposal to the floor and opened the topic for discussion. During that discussion, Humphrey explained that the executive officers would each receive a $1000 stipend, a total of $5000, as compensation for their extensive workload, which includes 8:00 am meetings and office hours during in the CUB. When asked about funding for the shuttles which used to take students to and from the Orlando airport, he explained that Kat Thomas, Assistant Director for Student Governance and Organizations, cut the program but students can pay $25 for shuttles on demand. Chair of Campus Living and Residential Life Livingston Boulerice explained that the $500 for graduation gifts is being used to negotiate with Stetson for an endowment, the funds from which would purchase more substantial gifts such as hats. Once the discussion finished, the budget passed unanimously.

Next on the agenda were chair reports.

Wade repeated his call for senators to send student groups who feel underrepresented to his committee. Academic Affairs chair James Russo reminded his committee members of their obligation to attend meetings and explained that his members are working with the library staff on providing 24-hour access to 25L, the auditorium space in the library’s basement. Policy and Finance chair Alyssa Morley described discussing changes to the registration and room reservation process with the university registrar, as the latter should become a more user friendly centralized system in the near future.

Following the chair reports, open discussion ensued. Some rules were reemphasized, including the fact that Senators have a limit of four cumulative absences throughout the year. Wade invited Senators to attend a Veteran’s Day ceremony during which a new plaque honoring US military veterans and a new flagpole will be unveiled in front of the CUB. $1500 from students helped to fund this project. After discussion, the meeting was adjourned.

All Senate meetings, and committee meetings held throughout the week, are open for Stetson students to speak at or view.

Student-curated playlist

This playlist has a theme

Nine great songs that are also themes to your favorite shows

Sarah Dean Editor-in-Chief

As a disclaimer to this playlist, I will disclose that I am more than a little nutty about TV themes. I will often begin watching a show based on if happen to have an incredibly quality theme song. My ringtone is the theme from Seinfeld. If I see House on the TV guide, I will tune in to the first five minutes just to hear the theme. And the same rule works the opposite way: There are many shows I love so much that their themes are like the personal soundtrack to my life. I have danced dramtically to the themes of both Parks and Recreation and Criminal Minds; I have no shame.

1. “Teardrop” by Massive Attack Alias: The theme from House One of the most frustrating things about most of the episodes of House on Netflix is that you don’t get to hear this song. The heartbeat-like effect and the ethereal voice of Cocteau Twins’ Elizabeth Fraser makes this song a unique but really great listen. You don’t get to hear any of the vocals in the TV version — all the more reason to listen to the entire track.

2. “A Beautiful Mine” by RJD2 Alias: The theme from Mad Men It’s hard to listen to the opening chords of this song without imagining that vertigo-like sequence that begins each episode of Mad Men. This is yet another instrument-heavy song whose TV version lost its lyrics. If you like this song, there is an interesting rendition of Bastille’s hit “Pompeii” by cover and remix wizards Scott Bradlee and the Postmodern Jukebox, which manages to somehow combine “Pompeii,” “A Beautiful Mine,” and The Zombies’ “Time of the Season,” into one, very confusing but still pretty catchy song.

3. “Baba O’Riley” by The Who Alias: The theme from CSI: New York If you watch any of the CSI serials, you’ll noticed that each take a classic song by The Who for their theme. However, “Baba O’Riley” earned its spot on this playlist because one, it’s my favorite Who song, and two, it is actually the reason I started watching CSI: New York. Nothing is more satisfying than channel-flipping only to hear one of your favorite songs, so of course, you pause to listen. Then you end up watching the show for the next five years. Remember

when we used to channel flip? Good old times.

4. “Temptation Sensation” by Heinz Kiessling Alias: The theme from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia This theme will go down as a classic, I swear.

However, many don’t know that this incredibly delightful track was actually composed in the late 1960s by a contemporary German composer.

“Temptation Sensation” has to be one of the most cheerful songs of all time, and it works so well as the opening to a show about five of the most repulsive people on the Earth. I am frequently embarrassed by It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, yet it is one of my favorite shows with one of my favorite themes. Go figure.

5. “In the Street” by Big Star Alias: The theme from That ’70s Show If you watch That ’70s Show regularly and insist you haven’t rocked out with the rest of the gang during this theme song, you’re a liar. The version of “In the Street” used in the show (and henceforth popularized) was actually recorded by Cheap Trick. Besides being a great intro to a pretty good show, this is a fun, easy-to-listen-to rock song. You can look up the Cheap Trick version if you

want, or you can listen to the version by Big Star and get a badge of authenticity for hearing the version of “In the Street” that was actually recorded in the ’70s.

6. “Feel It All Around” by Washed Out Alias: The theme from Portlandia This combination of show and song have to be my favorite. If you want a nice band to chill to, Washed Out can definitely fill that spot. Portlandia, much like the actual city of Portland, walks a very thin line between trendy, hip, and modern, and being downright ridiculous. “Feel It All Around” plays at the beginning of each episode as the viewer gets a mini visual tour of the city, and for a few minutes you find yourself thinking “Ah yes, look at Portland. This song is so nice and this seems like such a down-to-earth place to visit. What a classy show.”

And then two seconds later Fred Armisen bursts on screen wearing fake gauges screaming “WHOLE FOODS IS CORPORATE,” and you remember what you got yourself into.

7. “Uma Thurman” by Fall Out Boy Alias: The theme from The Munsters This song is unique: The Munsters is a TV sit-

com from the mid-’60s, and its opening existed (exclusively) as a theme song long before it was a pop song. Fall Out Boy samples the guitar riff and baritone sax of the classic theme in their hit “Uma Thurman,” which actually has lyrics that have nothing to do with The Munsters, but refer to a scene between the characters played by John Travolta and Uma Thurman in the film Pulp Fiction. However, I squealed in delight when I heard “Uma Thurman” all the way through, because The Munsters instantly takes me back to childhood, and I’m a sucker for nostalgia.

Also, it’s a great theme song. One of my favorites.

I digress.

8. “Bad Reputation” by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts Alias: The theme from Freaks and Geeks It’s impossible not to feel like a totally empowered badass while listening to Bad Reputation. While its strong, driven rhythm may not immediately invoke the tiny baby face of a young John Francis Daley, the song is weirdly appropriate for this shortlived but extremely popular show, which, although it’s not even 20 episodes, help launch the careers of some of Holly-

wood’s major players, including James Franco, and Seth Rogen. Now, if only those two could make movies that were actually as funny as they were in this seminal cult classic.

9. “How Soon is Now” by The Smiths Alias: The theme from Charmed Ah, another ’90s cult classic. To be fair, the version of “How Soon is Now” recorded by Love Spit Love that ended up as the theme from Charmed is quite different from even their version, much less the classic track by The Smiths.

But it’s still fun to listen to.

Nevertheless, “How Soon is Now” is a song that I would definitely classify as staple of the 1980s. And I’ll end this playlist on this note (pun intended): Listen to The Smiths, kids. Even if it’s just for five minutes and you hate Morrissey by the end of it (which is completely possible). The Smiths are almost a vital part of any angsty college experience.

Small business spotlight

Beardsbathandbeauty Soaphouse co. and Rusty Razor Barber Shop Beards, bath, and beauty should matter if you’re a Hatter Sam Votaw Arts & Entertainment Editor One would be hard-pressed to take a simple stroll through downtown DeLand and then deny the level of charm it possesses.

All the way from Woodland Boulevard’s dual lanes prompting a slower, more scenic route to its glistening murals celebrating some of Central Florida’s rich

history lining the sides of local businesses, DeLand’s Historic District holds an abundance of aesthetic appeal that rubs off on the local businesses operating within it.

It’s no doubt that the city features a generous selection of restaurants, bars, and antique shops that provide momentary thrills by catering to the exploring out-of-towner, but one newly opened shop in DeLand thrives in reversing that dynamic by basing its model on providing long-lasting service to the local resident and/or Stetson Student.

Beardsbathbeauty Soaphouse Co., located at 127 East New York Avenue, is the first of its kind in DeLand, specializing in handmade soaps beneficial in both treating the skin as well as pampering it.

Having only been in business for about three months, its undeniable chic interior design and radiant personality from business owner Maryssa Hill-Montgomery shows that this a business in for the long haul.

Finding her way back to both her birth state and town where her brother graduated after several years as an esthetician and beard contest judge in New York and

Atlanta respectively, Hill-Montgomery had originally never envisioned a physical shop for her own products of DIY soaps of Simblissity and the refreshing facial hair accommodating Beard Bars line. After the latter brand’s alliance with supermarket chain Whole Foods brought about an increase in product demand, Hill-Montgomery decided to turn what was originally planned as a second production building into a fully owned and stocked retail store for the artisan DeLand community.

With sensitive skin and allergies to the majority of chemicals inside name brand soaps, Hill-Montgomery’s background in manufacturing natural based soaps and marketing brought about the creation of Beardsbathbeauty’s natural based product lines.

Those colorful and pleasantly scented soaps and bath bombs, such as Bamboo Charcoal and Olive Oil, are all neatly displayed on a wide wooden table in the middle of the shop. They serve a variety of purposes, whether it’s to treat a specific skin condition or just a simple gift for oneself or a friend. Hill-Montgomery delights in guiding customers

through sampling her stellar line of revolving products at the base of the shop’s centerpiece bathtub.

“I want to help that person searching for any alternative solutions to their skin problems and point them in the right direction,” said Hill-Montgomery.

The chic business also boasts a secret weapon with in the Rusty Razor Barbershop stationed at the back of its storefront. In business for about a month now, longtime barber Cody Garrett’s first endeavor in running his very own barbershop reflects his own unique personal style and workplace ethos.

Garrett, formerly of Freddy’s Old School Barbershop, possesses an innate charm and undeniable expertise with his craft. Well versed in both traditional and new school styles, he employs a patient yet impassioned polish in cutting both hair and beards, in turn excelling at coaching customers through a look they’re sure to enjoy for the long run.

By existing under the same roof, both Hill-Montgomery and Garrett’s businesses form a healthy, symbiotic relationship with one another.

“I’ve never seen a marriage like this between two companies

that just work so well, so equally beneficial,” Garrett said. “My clients come in having no idea what to do with their beards, whatever the case may be and I have an entire product line right here so as soon as they’re finished, they shop in Maryssa’s shop. Women come in here to check out her product line and happen to see a cool barber shop sitting back here and it’s great for… the men in their life. It works out perfectly.”

Such a dynamic between two complementary businesses translates well to the building’s charming and inviting atmosphere.

Visitors can tell themselves they won’t be long, but with such a enchanting, chic atmosphere, two engaging business owners working in tandem with each other, and such a large assortment of affordable products (Beardsbathbeauty gives Stetson students 10% their total with a school ID) at their disposal, those who enter are sure to learn something new and purchase a handful of natural soaps and beard waxes that will benefit them immediately.

“We both moved to DeLand because we love it and believe in it,” said Hill-Montgomery. “I wouldn’t have opened up a shop anywhere but here.”

Great entertainment on a college budget Stetson improv players put on a show

Allegra Henderson Web Designer One of the hidden gems of the Stetson experience is the delightful, weekly improv comedy show held every Wednesday at Allen Hall.

For a modest price under $3, students can watch an engaging experience full of as-it-happens comedic chops from two talented collectives.

Last week’s show opened with a performance from No Refunds, comprised of Kevin Serrano, Dylan Mullins and Peter Nyong'o. Kicking things off with a long form sketch, they riffed on audience suggestions such as “Taylor Swift.” Acting out the country-turned-pop starlet trying to write a new song, the practical scenario took an immediate turn into left field, with God-like character and the ability to change the skit’s other characters into animals. The hilarious hijinks somehow found

a way led back to Taylor Swift’s song with an unexpected punchline that one can come to expect from such long winded, unscripted improv demonstrations.

The next group up was titled For Display Only, featuring Luis Garcia, Alyssa Husband, Melissa Trible, Andrew Towns, Alex Schelb, Connor Harting, and Mimi Shimkovska. Launching into another audience suggested topic about presidential hopeful and button pusher Donald Trump running against fellow celebrities Kanye West and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, the collection also included hysterical depictions of Hillary Clinton and her husband Bill to an enthusiastic audience that lapped up every joke.

The group’s next segment comprised of members engaging in a twisted form of verbal mirroring, with one performer telling a short story from their own experience while the rest would flip the same tale with to uproarious results.

The first one was the outrageous idea that Gatorade was the devil, with a mother being totally against Gatorade ingestion. Trying to prevent their daughter from consuming the sports beverage at all costs, she even forced her daughter into a Gatorade themed exorcism.

Further skits from For Display Only dealt with characters hearing voices only audible inside their head. One example involved a topsy-turvy mother and son working at Stetson in a seemingly happy situation before distorting into a heated confrontation over the threat of firing one another.

With a revolving set of ideas week in and week out, Stetson’s improv groups are definitely worth checking out for an hour and half full of gut wrenching laughs and stress relief.

Improv shows take place on Wednesday nights throughout the semester at 9 p.m.

Album Review The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die do right by their namesake Photo courtesy Dan Bassini

Sam Votaw Arts & Entertainment Editor Every era seems to posses a seminal album that embodies its respective time period’s ideology and culture.

Halfway through the 21sts century’s second decade (which has seen the world as a whole thrust into grave uncertainty), Harmlessness, the sophomore effort from lengthy-titled The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die, demonstrates that notion with a brand of expository lyricism and lush musical arrangements that defines this generation’s tumultuous mindset.

Comprised of nine—yes nine—musicians, the Connecticut-based collective are now operating at their seemingly peak level of output, blending together a nuanced selection of musical genres to create their flag bearer sound of the modern emo-revival scene.

With such an arsenal of unorthodox instruments such as viola and trumpet inserted into a multifaceted rock band, TWIABP offer a more grandiose aura to their craft than their fellow contemporaries such as You Blew It! and Into It. Over It. However, Harmlessness’ first track "You Can't Live There Forever" opens to the tranquil fingerpicking’s of Derrick Shanholtzer-Dvorak ‘s acoustic guitar while they hush “There's tiny worlds inside your mind and your fingers are a distant sky that you shove into your mouth to block the whole sun out,” easing the listener into the band’s unifying existentialist lyrical ponderings before the group crescendo’s into an optimistic melodious apex.

Such an opening impression is enough to immediately garner a repeat listen, but the album slides into the tone setting instrumental interlude “blank #11” and its magni-

fying sequel, “January 10th 2014.”

Inspired by an episode of the podcast This American Life depicting the decade long series of femincide attacks throughout Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, TWIABP spin a glorious sounding tale of avengement, evoking the Roman goddess of childbirth Diana as a symbol of hope and resistance for women against patriarchal violence. “But, don’t you quiver. I am an instrument. I am revenge. I am several women,” sings keyboardist-vocalist Katie Lynne Shanholtzer-Dvorak before concluding with a flurry of atmospheric guitars, synths, and impassioned gang vocals that we continue to fight injustice and “make evil afraid of evil’s shadow.”

With such an increasing emphasis on being externally aware of genre conventions of internal confessions, The World Is… moves beyond just being the torchbearers of modern day emo into a massive musical force across all styles.

By channeling the reluctant observations of ’60s era Bob Dylan with the genre defying chops of modern alternative classic Radiohead, Harmlessness is a truly unique musical catalogue inducing the pent up frustrations of a disillusioned youth.

Nothing better exemplifies this innate frustration with a repressive society than the explosive “We Need More Skulls,” a crushing post-rock spectacle that sees frontman David Bello cynically croon “We set out to make up all the mistakes of our parents and their friends.

We set up a safety net, but it was above our heads” against a dissonant wall of reverberated guitars and thundering drums rides.

With their sweeping sense of layered musical landscape and informal, almost stream-of-consciousness lyrical delivery depicting society’s darkest issues with a naïve

sense of optimism, Harmlessness boasts a commanding appeal for the downtrodden and disenfranchised youth of this generation. By encapsulating an earnest, collaborative credibility across its 13 varying interval tracks, The World Is… shine brightly when the desired endgame is catharsis for a troubled soul.

“Today we are superheroes. Tonight we’ll just be tired” chimes Bello on proverbial halfway point “Ra Patera Dance,” allowing the listener to either soak in the triumph of living another day or find solace in the option of barely mustering through struggles.

Harmlessness is available on iTunes and Spotify.

Dare to Be Significantly Better: Sports Concussions Dr. Robert Sitler Faculty Contributor

Editorial note: This piece is the second in a series of articles from Dr. Sitler, the Director of the Latin American Studies Program and a faculty member in the Department of World Languages and Cultures. He was also formerly the leader of the Values Commitment Steering Team. Stetson University has a strong tradition of values-inspired education. While fully recognizing the university’s considerable accomplishments in the realm of its values commitments, this column aims to highlight areas for potential improvement. This piece concerns sports- related concussions at Stetson. The Reporter always welcomes faculty submissions to the opinion section. Please send any submissions to kfulton@stetson.edu.

Several years ago, when Stetson’s Faculty Senate discussed the wisdom of restarting the university’s football program, I argued strongly against it. First, I expressed a concern that football would negatively affect our campus culture. As a graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin, I had witnessed the sport’s dark side, the UT stadium and surrounding streets littered with broken liquor bottles and a disturbingly ugly booster culture that prioritized football over the university’s academic programs.

I also objected to the risk that more of our student-athletes would suffer brain damage due to concussions and sub-concussive injuries.

I am happy to report that I was wrong, at least about the cultural change that I feared. The addition of football players on campus has proven to be a notably positive influence.

Like many student-athletes at Stetson, they have enriched my life as a teacher and have often served as academic models for less-engaged students.

Furthermore, I have not witnessed any of the dreadful alcohol-fueled booster insanity that I was worried would impact our campus culture.

Unfortunately, I am sorry to report that I was not wrong about the issue of concussions. This past academic year, football accounted for more concussions than all other 11 university sports combined. The fig-

ures for football-related concussions include 12 in 2013 and 20 in the 2014 season. The 166 percent increase is at least partially due to a greater total number of players on the team, increased amount of competition at the JV level, and our excellent staff’s heightened capacity for concussion diagnosis; but the surge is nonetheless cause for concern. Concussions are, of course, only the most apparent of the potentially brain damaging injuries endured by our athletes. CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, is the result of concussions and also repetitive sub-concussive impacts to the head that may go unnoticed until years later, potentially resulting in dementia, aggression, memory loss and depression.

CTE and sports-related concussions, particularly those associated with football, have recently become extremely controversial topics in the media and in sports medicine. The NFL was successfully sued for nearly a billion dollars in 2015 to help compensate its brain-damaged former players, and more individual lawsuits are surely on the horizon. The NCAA is also under intense legal pressure by its players and this year paid 70 million dollars for testing of its athletes so it could avoid a class action lawsuit. Individual suits against the NCAA and individual universities are sure to come, a potential future legal liability for Stetson. Suits by brain-injured high school players against their school districts have already begun.

Given the contentiousness and high quality of our coaches and staff, it comes as no surprise that Stetson has already taken significant extra steps to protect its student-athletes, even with our relatively limited resources compared to big-name college sports enterprises. For example, our practice guidelines mirror those of the Ivy League, a conference that has been at the forefront in protecting its athletes’ cerebral health. As a member of the Pioneer Football League, Stetson led the way to voluntary adoption of the more rigid guidelines recently legislated by the NCAA’s so-called “Power 5” schools, a group that includes the University of Georgia and Iowa State University which currently lead the nation in terms of concussion assessment and management.

Several years ago, Stetson adopted Intellectual Development and Personal Growth as two of its core institutional values. As a result, we have a self-imposed moral obligation to act boldly in protecting the brains of our students. As a new football program, Stetson has a special responsibility to take a leadership role in light of the recently revealed risks that concussions pose to its players. Fortunately, we have an athletic staff that is ideally suited to meet these challenges and has already demonstrated its prioritization of our student-athletes’ health.

In this one area of intercollegiate athletics, Stetson has a realistic capability to be the number one program in the nation. It can develop a superior athlete-friendly policy that will also serve as an attractive recruiting tool for future Hatters and provide highly favorable publicity for the university.

While my understanding of concussion protocols is rudimentary, I will risk making two recommendations. First, since national statistics show that concussions overwhelmingly occur in full-contact practices, Stetson should consistently commit itself to a lower number of full-contact practices than any other football program in the nation. Second, we should set a firm cap, a variant of a “three strikes and you’re out” policy, on the total number of concussions that any student can endure as a Stetson student. After reaching the cap, which could be set at less than three, an injured student-athlete would be permanently barred from further play at Stetson without losing any of his or her scholarships or other athletic-related benefits. While there are justifiable concerns that the athletes themselves will underreport head problems as a result of such a policy in order to keep playing, I feel certain that with proper education by our dedicated staff, this potential issue can be largely avoided. Of course, not all concussions are alike and that it is difficult to determine the severity of any specific blow to the brain. However, until assessment tools improve, our athletic trainers can simply use the methods currently in use to produce our concussion statistics. For the sake of our athletes’ cerebral health, Stetson must dare to be significantly better.

Homelessness and the Pope Kaley Fulton Opinion Editor

As you may know, the Pope is visiting the United States, including Washington, D.C. In addition to causing some serious traffic in the D.C. area, the Pope has the world’s attention this week. While I am not Catholic, I greatly appreciate the Pope’s efforts to make the Catholic Church more inclusive and to emphasize caring for the poor. His agenda for his trip suggests that he is willing to act on his words.

Per CNN, following his address to Congress on Thursday, Pope Francis had lunch with some of the homeless individuals in the district.

Homelessness is a huge problem in DC. According to the non-profit, Thrive DC, more than 7,300 individuals sleep on the streets every night here. It seems particularly tragic to have such powerful figures surrounding people living in such desperate circumstances. It is my hope that the Pope’s lunch will draw attention to the stories of these homeless individuals and help everyone recall the human dimension of poverty.

Of course, homelessness is not just an issue in DC.

The Council on Homelessness reports that there are at least 1,445 homeless individuals living in Volusia County.

This figure is likely low because of the difficulty in finding an accurate count and due to the fact that only individuals sleeping on the streets or in emergency shelters are counted as “homeless”. Emergency shelters will typically allow a person to stay for a maximum of three months. Thus, individuals who are homeless for longer than three months or those who have moved into different types of shelters are not reflected in these statistics. In the 2012-2013 school year, there were 70,215 homeless children attending Florida public schools. As a student, I cannot imagine trying to focus and learn when I didn’t know where I was going to sleep that night.

While these statistics are heartbreaking, they do not tell the complete story of homelessness. In order to have a more complete understanding of the issue, action is needed. Stetson students can become more engaged by donating money or canned goods to the Neighborhood Center, by joining Habitat for Humanity or the Homeless Coalition on campus, or by simply taking the time to listen to a homeless person you meet in DeLand. Taking the time to listen can show that you really care about them and support them, as the Pope’s lunch plans prove.

The US response to Syria Kaley Fulton Opinion Editor

Nearly five years into the Syrian conflict, with over 300,000 deaths and nearly half the country’s population displaced, the country is finally receiving more international attention, which is desperately needed.

My class and I have spent the last two weeks studying the Syrian conflict and listening to very respected officials including a former US ambassador and a director of the UN refugee agency discuss the multi-faceted situation occurring there. Now, the next logical question that one may ask is, “ How do we address the problem in Syria?” Of course, if I had an exact answer to the question, I would probably not be writing about it in the opinion section of a student newspaper, but as I think it’s important for university students to be involved in global issues, I will share some thoughts on the issue.

Concerning the humanitarian crisis, I am ashamed that the US has failed to take on more refugees. As a developed nation, we have the capacity to allow more individuals who are fleeing crisis and persecution to find safety in the US. I certainly support the proposition to take in 100,000 refugees by 2017. However, I would like to see the US go further in its support of individuals in crisis.

Ensuring that these individuals have enough resources to survive once they arrive and supporting education and cultural programs to help refugees integrate and feel welcome in the United States is a critical part of refugee assistance.

Despite the importance of this step, it is often forgotten from the minds of US citizens and of policy makers alike.

Moreover, increasing humanitarian aid to the more than 7.5 million internally displaced persons in Syria is also important. Those who have been unable to leave are just as deserving of the international community’s support as refugees. Until civilians are protected, political solutions in Syria will be difficult.

Beyond the human dimension, there is also a political and strategic element to the crisis. How can the US best help resolve the crisis in Syria and avoid further escalation of both the civil war between Assad and various rebel groups as well as the increasing threat of the Islamic State? Again, this issue is complicated. Some within Congress and the policy-making community have called for a US military intervention in Syria. However, in my view at least, public opinion would make this option unviable, especially after the Iraq war in 2003. Another option that has been discussed in the media is arming the Kurds in order to fight the Islamic State and other extremist groups. While certainly, the Kurdish forces have been fairly successful in organizing themselves and defending their territory from the Islamic State, some would argue that such success has helped to generate support and legitimacy for an independent Kurdish state, which is upsetting for Turkey, an ally of the US. To me, the best way to confront both Assad and extremist groups is through strengthening the relationships with the regional partners of the United States, especially Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States. As a coalition, these states can undermine the influence of Iran and the groups it sponsors like Hezbollah. Iran and Hezbollah are some of Assad’s largest supporters. Undermining this support is a key part of his exit from power and the resolution of the civil war. These states can also help to undermine the legitimacy of the Islamic State by using their wealth and resources to support Syrian forces take back territory. More importantly though, as Sunni majority states, through taking an active stance against the Islamic State, an extremist Sunni group, the gulf states can undermine the ideological claims of the Islamic State, thereby reducing their support.

One must recognize the truly multi-dimensional crisis occurring in Syria to address it. Peaceful and humanitarian-minded solutions seem to be best.

Q&A with cross country runner Joe Beery means letting a lot of other fun opportunities slip away because you either have to get to bed or can’t risk being too sore to run throughout the week. An aspect that makes this a lot more bearable is recognizing that you’re making these commitments not just to yourself to improve your own performance, but to your team as a whole, promising that you will give them your best, most intentional effort.

Madison Akins Staff Writer What made you want to become a runner?

This is a question I always really enjoy answering, because no one expects what I’m going to say. I was actually a pretty chubby kid in high school, and all my friends were runners. My sophomore year I decided that I wanted to give it a try, jumped on the team, and was really bad. But, there was something about it that I loved – to this day I can’t really tell you what that was or is, but there’s definitely some allure to what we do. I think that running is the same as any passion in life – some hear the call fairly distinctly, and others don’t. What I love is that passion is not discriminatory; it found me even when I was no way equipped to do what I do now, and then it helped me to become who I am today.

Can you tell us about your average day including training schedule, class, weights, etc?

The average day is usually a 5:30 alarm followed by a brief stumbling to grab keys, possibly a small breakfast, and then a jog over to the Edmunds Center where the team meets at six. After warming up and walking through our stretching routine, we either run longer mileage to build up leg durability and strength, or we will hit up the track to sharpen our smaller, quicker muscles. Practice usually concludes around 8, when I’ll head back to my apartment, shower, eat a quick bite, and then begin the day of studying and class, averaging two classes a day, sometimes more.

Because we are so pressed to try to get to bed early, a lot of the day has to be homework dedicated, so I usually end up in the library for long stretches of time. The afternoons usually involve either a second run, a light weight session, or some beautiful rest. Finally, at least in my story, the nights are filled with meetings about every different type of thing, and squeezing in precious social time.

What about the day of a meet? How do you prepare?

We’re usually in the vans before 5 a.m., so a lot of my prep I do on autopilot these days. It involves double checking my spikes and my uniform, trying to eat something rich in simple carbohydrates, filling up a water bottle or two, and then trying to figure out how much sleep I can shoot for on the way to the meet so that I won’t wake up groggy. Mental preparation involves listening to music to clear my head, a warm up with the teammates, a prayer, and then lining up on the starting line. Afternoon meets are a little different just because there’s a whole day on top of them – I’ve found it’s important not to just sit around catatonic the day of a race. While you probably don’t want What are some of your commitments to running cross to run a marathon that morning, it may be beneficial to do country at a college level? something a little active just because that’s in your body’s College cross country is a pretty demanding endeavor. normal routine, then you can really put the pedal down We practice at 6am every weekday and engage in one or when it becomes race time. two days of weekend practice every week, along with some more personalized work in the evenings. One of the major Can you describe what it is like to compete against commitments is the physiological one that comes with evyour opponent in a meet as well as your own team? ery sport – our coach always calls it “rest, nutrition, hydraThere’s a lot of inner team competition in cross countion.” When you compete at our level, there’s a bit of an obtry, and I think it definitely hardens us up for when we ligation to place your sport high on your priority list, which

have to go out and be fast, responsive, and mentally tough during races. That said, there’s so much fraternity going on at a Cross Country meet, and that is one of the coolest things there is. In the moment, with your breath heavy and your legs burning, the sun baking your skin and your muscles crying out in rebellion, the guy or girl running beside you feels like the most monumental obstacle you’ve ever faced. Then, incredibly, after bursting across the finish line, they are your best friends. Even covered in mud, sweat, and blood there are often hugs and fist bumps exchanged all around. Through suffering, bonds are formed.

How are you coached in cross country? Are there any tricks of the trade or specific techniques us non-runners don't know about?

You want me to give away our trade secrets?! Genuinely though, this is probably the question I’ve been asked the most since I became a runner. Our society constantly wants to know “the secret” to gratification and success.

I sincerely believe that one of the reasons I so adore this sport is because there really isn’t much to it besides consistency and hard work. There’s a lovely quote in John Parker’s Once a Runner that speaks to a society asking about what the secret to running is: “And not one of them was prepared, truly prepared to believe that it had not so much to do with chemicals and zippy mental tricks as with that most profound and sometimes heart-rending process of removing, molecule by molecule, the very tough rubber that comprised the bottoms of his training shoes. The Trial of Miles; Miles of Trials.” This speaks to me on a lot of levels; the most important probably being that in this sport, you will do how you train. There are really no excuses to hide behind; just you, a clock, and a couple hundred other crazy people.

How has your team been doing so far and what do expect out of the rest of the season?

We are doing well – due to some injuries not as well as some predicted, but we’re definitely fighting this season out. I’m excited to see what happens as our freshmen grow more and more confident with every race. There’s transition for the men in race distance, so it’s always a struggle, and for both teams there is a certain indescribable something that exists in college running that takes a little time to adjust to. We have young, hungry tea≠ms that are excited to get out there each and every to do work, and that makes me excited to see where the rest of the season takes us.

Here’s hoping it leads to our strongest conference finishes ever in a conference that is consistently stepping up its game.

Offense struggles in Pioneer League opener Football falls to Drake 41-3 Sean McKnight Sports Editor

Pictured here is sophomore Eric Martin, who had three interceptions in Saturday's game.

Stetson fell to 1-2 and 0-1 in the Pioneer league as rival Drake took care of business at home.

A large contributing factor to Stetson’s struggle offensively had to do with the fact that junior Cole Mazza was not able to play in the match. Stetson finished the game with zero yards on the ground while having just 178 in the air. Drake rushed for 251 yards and made mincemeat of Stetson’s defensive line. Junior running back Conley Wilkins was Drake’s star, he rushed for 152 yards on 13 carries as well as a 100-yard kick return.

This game came down to the story of two completely different halves. The first quarter was scoreless for both squads and it wasn’t until the second quarter that either team was able to find any points. The first half ended with Drake on top 17-3.

What seemed like a surmountable deficit turned into Drake absolutely running away with the score in the second half.

Stetson was unable to convert precious first downs and their defense could only do so much to stop Drake’s offensive onslaught.

There were some silver linings in Stetson’s performance, wide out Austin Marks received for 71 yards while wide outs Ja’Vonta Swinton and Chris Crawford had 47 and 21 yards, respectively. Stetson has depth at the wide receiver position and this season quarterback Ryan Tentler has been stepping up to the task more than he has in the past. The ability for these three starters — in the absence of Keegan Moore —shows that Stetson has the ability to get it done in the air. Hopefully next week against Dayton Mazza will be able to play again. Time and time again we’ve seen that if Stetson can get it done on the ground they’ll have a strong chance to win the game. This most recent loss shows what happens when Stetson can’t get anything done in the trenches.

Yet again this is a learning moment for a team who is growing every single day.

They’ve got to be able to brush

off these tough losses and move on to the next matchup. There are still plenty of games left this season, and if they can handle Dayton at home on October 3, they’ll be poised to jump up in the standings. With the return of Mazza this team will be able to play stronger and the familiarity of playing at home behind their fans will be an added boost.

The defense is doing the best it can but now it’s time for the offense to answer the call. They must go back to the basics, make the easy simple play, and move the chains. If this squad can start accomplishing those things then the defensive side of the ball will feed off of that momentum. Stetson might be down right now in the standings but there is still plenty of football left to be played. If they work on the right things and focus on the Flyers this week they will be successful at home. If they let this most recent loss eat away at them then they won’t be able to give all that they have this upcoming week. Stetson always plays stronger at home and I wouldn’t dare count them out this early in the season.

It’s almost that time of year again:

Men and Women’s 2015-16 basketball season preview Sean McKnight Sports Editor

After a tough season that only notched eight wins, head coach Corey Williams and his men’s squad are amping up to take on their 2015-16 opponents. This slate of games features 13 home games and road trips to West Virginia, Marquette, and Richmond.

This schedule will test his young team — comprised of just four freshmen and four sophomores — while also being balanced enough for them to grow as players.

Coach Williams said about his team’s upcoming season, “It’s a very competitive schedule; I like it. It gives us some challenging games both at home and on the road.

If we play at a high level we’ll have the opportunity to be successful.”

Williams also isn't concerned about the challenges his young team will face without a single senior on the roster. “The guys are a year older now and have been in our system for a couple of years now. They understand how I want to play, and they’re more in tune with how

I want them to play. As we gain more experience, we can schedule more challenging teams. But you have to be realistic with where your team is and I’m pretty realistic about where and who we are.”

The men’s basketball team will face off against the same lot of A-Sun goonies -Northern Kentucky, FGCU, UNF, and the like - while also getting a chance to keep the rivalry alive against Bethune-Cookman, UCF, Florida International, and Georgia Southern. The Hatters have played a total of 133 games against those four opponents.

All in all, it seems as though this young untested men’s squad will have the chance to play some worthy opponents who will challenge them both physically and mentally. Coach Williams and his staff have plenty of basketball experience and can easily shape this squad into contenders.

The Lady Hatters are coming off yet another fantastic season under head coach Lynn Bria, and this upcoming season is looking even more promising. After winning an outstanding 25 games last season, the Lady Hatters will return to form this season with help from four letter-

Sports this weekend

winners Brianti Saunder, DeAsia Beal, Aisha Turner, and Sarah Sagerer. These veterans will surely help lead the seven newcomers to another successful fall and spring.

This year the Lady Hatters face off against five NCAA tournament participants as well as non-conference contests against Minnesota, Boise State, and a matchup with the Tennessee Lady Volunteers.

Although this squad has zero seniors, Coach Bria is confident in her team. “If you want to be really good and prepared for your conference schedule, you have to play quality teams … We play a lot of games on the road, so our freshman are not going to be freshman for very long, but I think it's going to be good for us. We are going to play in some tough environments. Our non-conference schedule is one of the toughest we have had.”

Coach Bria hits the nail on the head. For the division Stetson is in, they play challenging conference opponents such as FGCU, UNF, Jacksonville, and so on. By being forced to fight hard against Tennessee, Georgia, Boise State, etc., this squad will be ready to run through the A-Sun in the spring like they always do.
