The red bags hold up to 10 lbs of food for students available at the college’s drive-up food pantry sites.
Curbside due to COVID Madison College’s food pantries find ways to help students CHRIS BIRD Managing Editor The Cupboard Student Food Pantries opened up for the semester on Sept. 1 at Truax Campus and Sept. 3 at Goodman South Campus. The food pantry services, which first started at Truax almost a year ago, have been providing students with a source of food available once a week as well as inform and educate those who are looking for help dealing with food insecurity. Due to a desire to ensure that everyone stays healthy through the Covid-19 pandemic, the Cupboard has made some changes to how students can pick up food, receive helpful tips and information to help keep them fed, and learn ways to prepare food and eat

that works with students and The Cupboard Student Food Pantry. To minimize contact, The Cupboard has moved to curbside pickup. Students are asked to have their OneCard
or Student ID ready to confirm you are enrolled in a degree credit course. For the first pick-up, students will be asked to fill out an information request form to help Second Harvest Food Bank and Madison College understand students’ needs. Students are asked to remain in their cars and staff will be able to put the 10 pounds of food directly into the trunk of a student’s car or leave the food for students to load into the car themselves. They observe the usual six feet of distance for safety and ask that if you have had Covid-19 symptoms or tested positive that you don’t come to campus for food pick up. According to Holin, they have already ordered 3600 pounds of food to be able to provide for Madison College Students, with 400 or so pounds already being handed out since the pantries have opened this semester. » SEE CURBSIDE PAGE 5
CHRIS BIRD Managing Editor In a general assembly meeting on Sept. 3, the Student Senate voted to create a committee on racial inequity. Student Senate President Sean Green noted that the topic of adding Racial Inequity as a Senate initiative was brought up a little over a month ago, but at the time there needed to be more information to properly move forward on the initiative. Meetings were held with College faculty, administrators, and instructors to discuss their views. Student insights were also considered. The Student Senate concluded that Racial Inequity was and is a prevalent issue at Madison College, which warrants Senate action, and voted to make an official initiative to address the issue. “It is the right of every student to be treated equally,” said Senator Aleem Syed during the meeting. The Senate hopes to create a place where minority students’ issues can be addressed and where students can feel free to express their concerns about this issue at Madison College. “We realize that we cannot solve racial inequity everywhere, but we can help solve things in Madison College. Thus, we came up with establishing a racial inequity committee,” » SEE EQUITY PAGE 5
Use new website ‘Handshake’ to find your next job or internship HANNAH DOTZLER Copy Editor Starting at the beginning of the Fall 2020 Semester, Madison College’s Career and Employment Services launched its new job posting website, Handshake. Handshake is a site used by many colleges and universities around the country to help students find and connect with employers. In fact, the site is now being used by all 16 of the Wisconsin technical colleges. Students can use Handshake to find jobs and internships both on and off campus. Madison College Business
Technology Instructor Penny Johnson speaks highly of the new site. “Handshake has the most opportunities for students and new college grads of any platform and is the only one that lets employers recruit specifically at Madison College. All the jobs are posted just for students, which means students aren’t competing against professionals and the general population,” Johnson says. Handshake is perfect for students
looking for a career or internship within the field they are studying or for those who are specifically looking for on-campus jobs. Rochelle Wanner, Madison College Senior Student Support Advisor, also encourages students to take advantage of this new job posting site. She says Handshake includes amazing features that are not offered by most other platforms. For example, it allows students to learn about skills that are often required by employers in their field, gives them the ability to upload their resumes for potential employers to view, and is mobile friendly.
For the entire fall semester, Madison College’s Career and Employment Services will be giving away gift cards to students who activate their Handshake accounts. Three winners will be randomly selected each month throughout the semester. As for how to set up your Handshake account, Johnson says “It’s easy! Go to joinhandshake.com.” Whether you are looking for a job in your field, are ready to gain some experience through an internship, or are in search of anything else career-related, Handshake is available and ready for all Madison College students to use!

‘Social Just Us’ leads conversation for social change EIMY GONZALEZ Staff Writer This fall, as protests still rage around the country, Madison College is determined to fight social inequality from within its doors. As one of the strategies, the intercultural exchange will focus on social justice and anti-racism. The purpose is to inform, share resources, raise awareness, and make a change. Starting in October, the program “Social Just Us” will go into motion, led by Ro Encizo, advisor of United Common Ground and Professional of Intercultural, Diversity, and Inclusion Learning at Madison College. Encizo talks Ro Encizo about two pandemics affecting our society, COVID-19 and racial injustice. When it comes to racial injustice, he mentioned that there are people out there thinking it only impacts certain communities. The reality is, is that it can be found mostly anywhere. He explicitly mentions how necessary it is to ask ourselves, “How can we support the cause? How can I too, be a voice?” “It’s important to start the conversation somewhere but it’s not just about starting the conversation it’s about what you can do about it,” said Encizo. Each semester he pulls together strategies and programs to ensure everything is current. This has become a way to share relevant information, but most importantly, a way to have a lasting impact on students. The title “Social Just Us” is meant to bring social justice to mind. However, it also highlights the focus on “us,” the Madison College community. The discussions within the program will cover subjects on The Black Lives Matter movement, protesting and voting rights, as well as voter suppression. Although if there is a topic you feel strongly about, do not hesitate to reach out. It’s encouraged to call out any issues that are less likely to be spoken
of. The talks will be given by Encizo, as well as special guests and faculty staff, considering the importance of finding different meanings on a subject from a wide range of perspectives. “If you can at least empathize with people and put yourself in their shoes, the world could be a great place. That is the core, I think. That is what I want
to do with this program, like a lot of the programs I do. Empathy is an important value,” said Encizo. Make sure to follow up to take part in this experience that amidst this virtual environment looks forward into creating a unique and strong community. The talks will be offered every
Thursday starting Oct. 1, from 12-1 p.m. at Ro Encizo’s WebEx meet link, madisoncollege.webex.com/meet/rencizo. The link and event can also be found at Wolfpack Connect under the event “Social Just Us.” This opportunity will only last throughout the month of August, nevertheless, more events will follow to support the cause of equality.

The benefits of being outdoors
Wisconsin’s great outdoors have become a ‘natural medicine’ for many PAIGE ZEZULKA Copy Editor Nature has always been an organic healing solution for many civilizations throughout history. Whether it be physically, mentally, socially, or economically, its positive impact is endless. During the pandemic, Wisconsin’s great outdoors have become a natural medicine to the Midwest state. “Outdoor recreation is essential to our economy, quality of life, our personal well being, and happiness,” says Preston Cole, the Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. “It’s clear to us in navigating the pandemic that parks, Wisconsin natural resources, are in general an essential for Wisconsinites.” Spending time outdoors gives people a chance to find peace of mind and to decompress. It provides space for people to be active in fresh, clean environments. From biking, hiking, and climbing to swimming, canoeing, or kayaking; the exercise one can get from being outdoors is limitless. Nature is there to help create new relationships and keeps the ones already present healthy. “Health and wellness is a huge benefit, I think, in the outdoors for a lot of people,” says Keith Warnke, the Administrator for Fish, Wildlife and Parks at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. “It builds self-confidence. It refreshes the mood. It lets you get out and breathe some fresh air and reduces stress and allows you to blow off some steam.” Warnke admits that nature is “in his blood.” The outdoors have been there for him to be able to “have fresh air to breathe, clean water to recreate in, to unwind, [and] to just be able to spend time with family and friends.” The outdoors helps the state economically as well by providing tens of thousands of jobs. The businesses that supply outdoor gear are skyrocketing in sales due to the popularity of people being outdoors this year. There are also local businesses that rely on seasonal visits around state parks, especially during
PAIGE ZEZULKA / CLARION
Nature provides great opportunities to get away, especially during the current pandemic, when people are encouraged to socially distance. Wisconsin has up to 49 state parks to choose from. hunting and fishing seasons. “Outdoor recreation counts for $7.8 billion of economic impact in Wisconsin,” according to Cole. Hunting alone has about a $4.5 billion of impact annually. With the help of its residents and outsiders coming from all around, Wisconsin has seen a major increase in visitors since last year. These millions of visits con-
tribute to funding the conservation of Wisconsin’s state parks, wildlife management, fisheries, hunting, and local businesses. During a pandemic, it is understandable that citizens may not want to leave their homes. Because of this, the Department of Natural Resources has taken the proper precautions to keep the outdoors safe. They practice social distancing methods by spacing out picnic tables, limiting the number of people in groups, sanitizing public areas, and closing indoor facilities. “If you are nervous about being outside, I think the recommendation is just take small steps and do only what you are comfortable with. Spend time in your own yard or, yes, put on a mask and spend some time walking around the block and just taking it slow and getting yourself acclimated to it,” says Warnke. It is recommended to take some time outdoors. In fact, being outside is believed to be a safe place during this pandemic. If you go days on end being cooped up inside for too long, your body and mind may just reflect that. Since the public health emergency was declared by Governor Evers in March, Wisconsin has been trying to pull through the challenges that have risen. Thus, many people are still taking the proper precautions and staying at home as much as possible. Classes have turned online, working from home has become a new norm, mass gatherings are still looked down upon, and people are still social distancing and wearing masks. As a result, with Wisconsin in the backyard, many people have taken advantage of what the region has to offer. With up to 49 state parks to choose from, the midwestern scenery is a mix of woodlands, marshes, plains, bluffs, and water sources from streams, to rivers, numerous lakes, and waterfalls. “I think that the opportunities to enjoy the outdoors in Wisconsin are available and you know the biggest decision you have to make is which one of them you want to pursue, or which several of them you want to pursue all in one day,” says Warnke.

Student Achievement Center services are still available BOH SUH Staff Writer With many classes being offered in online format, students who are used to in-person format may have concerns about their academic success. The good news is that both Student Achievement Center and Writing Center are still offering virtual help to the students. Originally in-person services, the
Student Achievement Center and Writing Center have been providing services virtually during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Many qualified peer tutors and faculty members are available to help guide students through their classes on a one-on-one basis. Students can make an appointment through the website (https:// libguides.madisoncollege.edu/bookatutor).
Are you worried about your busy work schedule? Don’t worry. These services are also available at nighttime and weekends so those who are working during the day can still get the necessary help. The Student Achievement Center covers a variety of subjects including those on the notoriously more difficult side such as math and chemistry courses. The Writing Center is also available
to cover a variety of writing courses. These are all free services as a Madison College student. The online class format can be concerning, but Madison College has been striving to provide the necessary tools for students to succeed. If you have any concerns, definitely reach out to your instructors or advisors and look for the many resources provided by the College.

A new online service offered at Madison College through a partnership with Rent College Pads, helps students find housing.
Help finding housing now available BOH SUH Staff Writer Madison College has always dedicated it’s time to improve college student’s lives. Being primarily a commuter college, Madison College does not have traditional dorms like University of Wisconsin – Madison. This requires students to find apartments by their own. If they are new to town or have to find a place to live within a short period of time, it can be overwhelming. This year, however, the college partnered with Rent College Pads, an apartment rental agency, to connect Madison College students to various apartments near college campuses. Rent College Pads works with community landlords and rental agencies to provide a website of curated local properties near Madison College campuses including rental price, room descrip-
tions, utility estimates, and so on. The website also offers options to look for roommates as well as to sublet places. It even offers a posting board for carpooling – find a driver or rider from the posts. The additional cool feature of this website is to show the distance as well as how long it takes to get to the campus from the apartment by walking, bus, or cars. So, if you have a chemistry exam at 9 a.m., make sure you leave early after checking how long it takes to get to class (Well, you may have to log into Blackboard website instead of traveling to the campus this year…). The site was developed and launched in partnership between Student Life and the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honor Society College Project team. Some people may not know this, but PTK Honor Society is the official honor society of two-year colleges as recognized by the
American Association of Community Colleges. After collaborating with college senior administration, the PTK College project this year has been focusing on tenant literacy and housing support services at Madison College. As a part of the team, we have been working together to help with designing and launching the new rental listing site as well as developing a tenant literacy program for those who may need resources of becoming a good tenant. The team has been very thankful for the team advisors, Marty Crabbs and Renee Alfano for the guidance and support. Many of you probably found your housing already, but if not, definitely check out the website for more information. Visit madisoncollege.edu/housing for more information and a link to the site.
Service Learning Academy has opportunites for you BOH SUH Staff Writer During this pandemic, volunteers are needed more than ever. Many places are looking for help, and I am excited to share that the Service Learning Academy is still operating for Madison College students. What is Service Learning Academy (SLA)? It is a semester-long program that connects a Madison College student to a community non-profit organization. The student can volunteer two hours per week for 10 weeks at the same organization. This is a great opportuni-
ty for the students to give their time to their community. I have been volunteering at Community Action Coalition as a part of SLA since January 2019, and it has given me a rewarding experience to help others. Some people may have questions about how SLA is running under this pandemic. I had an opportunity to talk to Brianna Stapleton Welch, a program advisor for Volunteer Center & Service Learning Student Life. Even though some organizations cannot have volunteers anymore due to COVID-19, there is a virtual volunteering opportunity
as a tutor for Schools of Hope. This will be an excellent opportunity for the students who may be worried about volunteering in-person. Also, Brianna emphasized that many volunteering sites are following COVID-19 safety protocols and being extra cautious. If you are interested in participating in Service Learning Academy this semester or any volunteering opportunities outside SLA, please don’t hesitate to contact volunteercenter@madisoncollege.edu. They will help you to find the right volunteer opportunities in this strange time of the year!
With less contact available, the food bags have some helpful information and recipes included to continue to provide help beyond the obvious benefit that food can provide those who need it. “Our goal is not to just give students food, but also to educate them,” said Holin. Information like locations to other food pantries, where students can pick up even more food if needed, recipes and meal prep plans to make the best of the time and food that students have available, and nutrition guides. The food pantries are aiming to “inform, educate, and train students to help deal with food insecurity,” said Holin. “Ten pounds is not enough, but the plan is to help by doing more than just giving food.” Holin encourages students to use the pantries if they have any need to. “Our students need to feel like they have these resources available,” she said. Despite the changes in process due to health regulations, the pantries have seen plenty of activity already, and Holin said that “given the circumstances I feel that this is the best way we can serve the students.” Holin is disappointed that they are unable to spend more time one on one with the students who visit the pantries, but shared that she has been happy to see people able to make use of their services and that “students have been very respectful and thankful, which is great to see.” Students can access The Cupboard Student Food Pantries Tuesdays from noon to 2 p.m. and Wednesdays from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Truax Campus outside the GHC entrance of the Health Education and Information Technology building, and Thursdays from 2 to 4 p.m. at Goodman South Campus at the Shipping and Receiving Entrance.
EQUITY
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 said Sen. Syed. The Senate will be working on setting up a chair for this committee in the following weeks. They are currently focusing on gathering feedback from students on what is being done right at Madison College and what needs to be improved upon. As a part of Madison College’s effort to collect feedback from students on this topic, there is an upcoming student forum on Sept. 23, from 4-5 p.m. that will be hosted by Madison College President Dr. Jack E. Daniels and the Madison College Cabinet members. Vice President of Equity, Inclusion and Community Management, Lucia Nunez will be speaking on the goals of an equity and inclusion plan and what the college should be focusing on to be an equitable and anti-racist institution. “It is our responsibility to answer the call on behalf of other students to address both macro and micro racial inequities in our own jurisdiction,” said Senator Shia Fischer.

t 8:46 a.m. EST, on Sept. 11, 2001 American Airlines Flight 11 struck the north tower of the World Trade Center. About 17 minutes later, at 9:03 a.m., a second plane hits the south tower. Smoke and flames are seen streaming out of the cracked and broken windows. People are seen streaming out of and away from the World Trade Center. Everyone is running for safety. Everyone that is, but the brave first responders of New York City. In the 102 minutes between the first plane striking and the two towers collapsing, those brave souls were risking their own lives to get civilians out of the buildings. In this nation's most chaotic and horrifying moment, those brave men and women – those heroes – went to
work doing the only thing they could; protect the citizens of New York City. With the nation reeling from this attack on our own soil, and before we had any clue who did it, they jumped into action. In the days that followed, rescue operations were running 24 hours a day with volunteer first responders coming from all over the country. These police officers, fire fighters, paramedics, Coast Guard and others risked their lives in an desparate effort to find and save any survivors. A medical director of the World Trade Center Health Program at Mount Sinai Hospital reported that approximately 10,000 of those brave men and women have developed cancer as a result of the toxins they were exposed to during the recovery operations. The Uniformed Firefighters Association of Greater New York reported that over 170 firefighters

have died to do 9/11 related illnesses. I think it is important in tumultuous times such as these that we take a moment and remember these true heroes. We as a nation suffer from the bad habit of recency bias, we are very much a “what have you done for me lately” people. Remembering those brave men and women in no way minimizes the atrocities that have happened around the country. These organizations are made of humans too, none of us are infallible and neither are they. These agencies can be both, can’t they? They can be the people we turn to in our time of absolute need, but they can also include people who abuse their power and use excessive force; the two are not mutually exclusive. It is up to you to be able to separate those two contradictions.
ecently, President Trump was accused of pressuring FDA officials to issue an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the use of hydroxychloroquine sulfate and chloroquine phosphate to treat COVID-19. Major criticism followed as the two drugs fell under conflicting sides in the scientific community about whether or not the drugs are a safe and effective way to treat COVID-19. The FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization should never be employed if the treatment used for a sickness has potentially greater risks, injury, or death rates than the sickness it is treating. The data should also be specific to the person that is being treated and ultimately should be the person’s choice if they wish to be treated.
T
he shootings that occurred during the Kenosha protest on Aug. 25 have sparked a great deal of confusion, anger, and sadness. We still don’t have any closure on the details of the situation, as the case of the alleged gunman is still in progress. What we do know about the situation makes me very upset, and also feel that something like this might have been bound to happen due to the way that the police have handled these protests. The alleged gunman was underage and carrying a deadly weapon. Only 17, state law required him to
be at least 18 to be carrying the rifle he had that night. There are many videos of the protests and the police that night, and there are some that show the police aren’t pausing to consider why any of the armed counter-protestors present had such deadly weapons on hand, or stopped to check if any of them should really legally have those weapons. The police were treating counter-protestors, armed with deadly weapons, as if they were almost comrades, or at least they were certainly not enforcing the curfew that was in place on them. There is a video of police talking to the alleged gunman where they offer water, thank the armed count-
er-protestors for being there, and then immediately after the police call for other people to leave the area because they are civilians. As if those armed with weapons right next to them were not civilians that should have been treated exactly the same. If a curfew is in effect, and the police feel the need to clear the streets, they need to enforce that rule to every citizen in the area, or they shouldn’t enforce it at all. This type of preferential treatment to these counter-protestors and the clear support being given by the police officers to these people, is exactly what can embolden » SEE PROTESTS PAGE 7

How does privilege impact views of protests? HAILEY GRIFFIN Ars Editor
T
he entire country has been experiencing an array of protests meant to spark a peaceful debate about how to dismantle systemic racism and combat police brutality within American society. However, several instances have caused these peaceful protests to become violent, resulting in rioting and looting of surrounding businesses. Instances of rioting and looting have created a platform for those who don’t truly understand the BLM movement to intertwine the occurrence of protests and the occurrence of violence. Those who tend to relate protests and protestors to violence must understand a couple of things. First, the majority of protest organizers do not develop a plan to incite
violence. On the contrary, most protest organizers prefer to keep protests peaceful, and they make sure to relay that to fellow protestors. Second, protestors who are dedicated to the BLM movement will not have violence at the forefront of their thoughts. Their main goals are to spread awareness about racial injustice in America, to educate others about systemic racism, to encourage citizens to join the fight against systemic racism, to call for police reform, to call for police to be held accountable for their actions, and to reconstruct the way that the criminal justice system operates. Those who genuinely care about racial justice will not want to take attention away from the reason behind the protests by inciting violence and riots. Third, even when riots do break out following protests, you cannot simply
deny or refuse to acknowledge the reasons behind why a large group of people would express their anger through violence. People of color in this country have been oppressed and brutalized for centuries. When they experience that type of pain firsthand, and continually watch other members of their community experience the same type of pain, they become rightfully angry. When they continue to see a lack of accountability and morality in both their federal government and their local police department, they become overcome with frustration. I’m not implying that rioting or looting is the right course of action to further the BLM movement. I’m saying it's important to understand the mindset and the experiences of the people involved. There have been times this summer
Love trumps money Understanding the vital role love plays in life PAIGE ZEZULKA Copy Editor
L
Humans are born into this world before the use of money. Love comes first. It is an emotion that is felt even as early as inside a mother's womb. Being loved and feeling that love, is one of the most vital parts of an infant’s life. If a child is not given enough love and affection early off, they may have a difficult time with future endeavors growing up. Lack of love as a child can cause distress in someone’s mental and even physical health as an adult. Love is needed for your overall growth as a human being.
A potential shooter was just let go, while plenty of protestors were arrested during the demonstrations. There is even a class action lawsuit underway alleging that none of the roughly 150 people that were arrested, over the nine days after the first protest on Aug. 23, not a single one was a counter-protestor. The police were enforcing the curfew, but potentially unfairly. If the police want to discourage incidents like this in the future, they have to treat everyone fairly and evenly, or risk enabling the type of mentalities that can lead to violence.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Even though money can make life easier, it also brings upon a lot more difficulties. Society is surrounded by cash flow that has created consumer hungry economies throughout the planet. We know we need money to buy the things we NEED. But within the world in which we live, it is now more about what we WANT due to consumerism. The world’s
groups like these to believe that they truly are close to being police officers and can do whatever they feel they have to. This treatment also furthers the feeling for those involved that this is “us versus them,” and that feeling will extend to both sides and bring more division.
It’s hard to feel like this isn’t what is happening. Especially because even after the alleged gunman had left the scene of the shooting, and approached a group of police with his hands up, as if surrendering, while the people around him yelled things such as “that’s the shooter,” and the police just let him go. I understand that plenty was going on that night, but Rittenhouse wasn’t even held until the police figured out what was going on. In fact, the alleged was allowed to go all the way home to Illinois before he was arrested pending trial.
Love in Early Infancy
Money Hungry Society
PROTESTS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6
If you constantly tell someone they are right and give them special treatment, they are going to be encouraged to continue their line of behavior. The line of behavior of these counter-protestors was to bring deadly force to a protest that they didn’t agree with and dare anyone to try and test them. If this group was afraid to use force, as the protests go on and the police constantly show that they are not going to evenly enforce the law and even support one side of the protests, caution will leave these people and they will feel emboldened to act however they please.
ove is something that exists deep within all living creatures. It is a natural occurring essence, flowing ever so freely inside of us constantly. It is a core part of our being that brings affection to our souls; giving humans a gift to be compassionate, kind and rise with positivity. Love, itself, plays the greatest role in existence, even greater than money.
I think it is obvious money plays a huge factor in this world in which humans inhabit. Money is enormously important for our survival. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, created by Abraham Maslow, explains a psychological theory of the five layers of human needs. The first need that is to be met, is the physiological needs. Which in other words, is shelter, air, food, water, and rest. To be successful in achieving the first tier of Maslow’s Needs, money of some sort, is needed. Though, do note, that love is also a stage that needs to be met to fully become granted self-actualization.
in which white allies have been known to incite riots, which is frowned upon by those who are dedicated to the BLM movement. Even if allies are the ones to spark riot behavior, the brunt of subsequent police intervention will fall upon people of color. So, if you’re a white ally at protests, reevaluate why you showed up in the first place. Allies are supposed to use their white privilege to protect people of color, not to provoke police interference upon them. Those who choose to turn a blind eye to the agenda of genuine, dedicated protestors and simply label them as violent people should take a step back. Evaluate what has taken place in communities across the country. Educate yourself about the history of systemic racism and police brutality. Take a look in the mirror and ask yourself, “How does my privilege affect my views?”

A mural on a wall in Brooklyn, N.Y., reminds people of the importance of love. population is getting sidetracked by mass consumption of material items verses what is right in front of them. It is important to remember you do not need currency to have love. Love is something intangible and even better yet, FREE!
Loving Others
It is not just about feeling loved, or being loved, it is also important for us to spread the love. You know the feeling of belonging you get when someone shows you affection? Well, other people are supposed to feel that too. In order for people to feel love, it is up to us to provide it. There is a term called, skin hunger, that explains how our bodies do not only get hungry for food or thirsty for water or tired for rest, we also feel the same hunger for affection. Our bodies NEED water,
food, and rest to survive. Research states this is the same for love. There was a study done involving 509 adults. Those with high levels of skin hunger were more prone to being unhappier than the ones with low levels. Their overall physical and mental health took a drastic toll on them due to the lack of affection they were not receiving. Love is something that comes naturally. It is within us. It is a part of us. It is a part of all in which surrounds us. It is as natural as the air we breathe, as the sun that shines and the moon-lit sky. There is nothing that can conquer love. No amount of money, fame, or fortune stands a chance. Because without it, there is no meaning to that fortune. There is no meaning to that fame. Love brings the greatest meaning to life.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 Should politics be able to get in the way of science? While it is my opinion they shouldn’t, unfortunately it seems politics along with private business interests have driven which scientific studies are listened to. The problem is, is that science can be biased. Multiple studies are done to a single problem and differing results are often backed by opposing groups. Scientists with funding from different sides are pushed to see results in a certain way so politicians can use their findings to back their policy. But this comes from both sides of the aisle. Is the use of hydroxychloroquine sulfate and chloroquine phosphate being pushed by President Trump because at the time it was the best-known treatment for COVID-19? Or was he desperate to back anything that could potentially end this pandemic? On the other side, were Democrats opposed to the two drugs because some studies questioned the efficacy of them being used to treat COVID19? Or were they blocking these drugs to make President Trump look worse in the dealing of this pandemic? All of the above may be true.

A most excellent adventure
EDITOR: HAILEY GRIFFIN CLARIONARTS@ MADISONCOLLEGE.EDU
TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Ted “Theodore” Logan played by Keanu Reeves, left, and Bill S. Preston Esquire played by Alex Winter return for “Bill and Ted Face the Music.”
‘Bill and Ted Face the Music’ makes for an adventurous evening EIMY GONZALEZ Staff Writer The ultimate best of friends Bill and Ted come back to the big screen after almost 30 years to surprise us with another of their most excellent adventures. This time, Director Dean Parisot takes on the task to recreate the fantastic lives of these dudes now in a future desperate of union AND saving. Parisot truly satisfied my expectations by bringing Bill & Ted’s
original cast into motion. Keanu Reeves, Alex Winters, George Carlin, William Sadler, and more made this film truly exciting. The “Bill and Ted” movies have entertained those lovers of absurd comedy for years and even though I had some doubt regarding the outcome of this film, as it’s so far apart in time from the rest, I must say, this new addition did not disappoint. The pair, now married individuals and astounding dads, are taken to the future to complete the song prophe-
sized to save the world as we know it. This becomes a quest like no other as they travel through time to find themselves and collect the music masterpiece. Although this time there is a twist to the story, as Bill and Ted start off on their journey, their own daughters take a trip through time as well in an effort to help their dads. It goes beyond anything you can imagine. In my opinion, most recent comedy films do not have that spark it takes to really bring out a good laugh. It becomes harder to stumble upon
something that will do more than coax out a smile. This picture was an exception. I was laughing consistently by how ridiculous some of the scenes and dialogues were, not to mention their attitudes overall. I had a blast following their travels. This film was sincere, innocent, exciting, and full of music. By those who grew up watching Bill and Ted, and even those who did not, you can end up with a great and adventurous evening by watching this mind-blowing film.
Missing the classroom, just watch ‘Community’ KALEIA LAWRENCE Opinion Editor One of my favorite things about attending community college is how I get to meet so many interesting people. I’ve met parents and their kids, veterans, and people from all different walks of life. With school being online, I miss interacting with all those amazing people. Chatting on a discussion board is just not quite the same. That’s one reason that I’ve been re-watching “Community” on Netflix. It makes me laugh and reminds me of the bonds made in class. “Community” accurately portrays aspects of community college, while also going beyond your typical comedy show. The study group perfectly encapsulates what you will get in most classes. There’s the retiree, the high school overachiever, the mother of two, the ex-football player, the lawyer, the activist, and the filmmaker. What starts as one man’s attempt to get a date turns into a tightly
knit group of friends. The group goes through adventures, from science class assignments to paintball wars. So maybe it’s not quite like Madison College...at least not yet. Each character that I thought I was going to hate, I ended up loving. They took typical television tropes and made them likable. I not only laughed but also cried a couple of times too. As far as the show goes, there are so many different styles. There’s an animated episode, one where everyone is a puppet, and a claymation episode, too. I’ve watched popular comedy shows like “The Office,” “Parks and Rec,” and “New Girl.” Not one of them did what “Community” has done for me. It created a show that was funny but didn’t take itself too seriously. “Community” played with all different concepts and even made fun of typical comedy tropes. So, if you’re missing your classroom buddies and are in need of a laugh, check out “Community.”

Art and family offer a healthy balance HAILEY GRIFFIN Arts Editor Throughout his transition from childhood to adulthood, one thing was constant for Tony Catteruccia: his love for art. Since he was a kid, Catteruccia knew that he wanted to pursue a career in art. “Nothing really made sense as a child, as a pre-teen, as a teen, as a young adult, nothing made sense to me like art did,” said Catteruccia. “I knew from at least 13 or 14 years old that I wanted to get into tattooing and just be an artist.” Catteruccia enjoys spray-painting, tattooing, and painting with acrylics. “Painting particularly does something for me aside from tattooing,” Catteruccia said. “It makes me feel like that’s what I’m here for.” Catteruccia was one of several artists who participated in the Mural Project in downtown Madison this summer that was organized by Madison Arts. When he isn’t painting canvases or murals on the sides of buildings, Catteruccia is tattooing at Mind Floss Tattoo in Madison. He’s been tattooing for six years. Catteruccia started tattooing at the age of 20. “I’ve been at Mind Floss for just over a year now. That shop is particularly the best shop that I feel like I’ve worked at,” Catteruccia said. “I’ve worked in a lot of shops; I’d say just from the age of 20, I’ve worked in probably close to 10 already. It feels weird because you’re not a rookie, you’re like an above-average novice. I mean, at 10 years, technically, you’re considered an experienced tattooer.” At the beginning of his career, Catteruccia didn’t take the traditional apprenticeship
route like many novice tattoo artists might. “One-hundred-and-fiftypercent would have rather had an apprenticeship because, to be honest, all you’re really doing is investing into actually learning the right way,” Catteruccia said. “When you teach yourself, kind of like how I did, you tend to mess people up. You tend to learn from mistakes rather than having someone be over you like, ‘Do it this way.’” Catteruccia has learned that the only way to improve his art form is to practice. One must cultivate their art and practice daily. “It’s like a plant,” he said. “If you’re not watering it every single day, how big do you really expect it to get?” Over the years, Catteruccia has grown both as a tattoo artist and as a person. But his growth came with obstacles. “I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at a very, very young age,” Catteruccia said. “I got off medication at 20 years old. It was ‘abandon all ship’ at that point. At 20 years old, I had my oldest daughter. I knew that it was going to be hard, but I knew that I can’t depend on pharmaceutical medication to make me a human being…I think if you want to be the one to take medication, and you speak it, and you talk to your doctor, and you believe that, go for it. But me, personally? It was making it worse for me.” Just as he had to learn to cultivate his art, Catteruccia had to learn to cope with his mental health without medication. These days, Catteruccia channels his love for art into a healthy way to cope. “I would say art is a coping mechanism. It’s also kind of a reflection of myself, to know if I’m really dialing in my talents. Once I started getting the hang of my craft, as far as making myself do it, I would

But I would say more so nowadays, it’s going in a positive direction that I actually kind of like.” Being able to find positivity in his life is, in part, due to his children. “My happy medium was my children. I never tried to make it seem like I’m not going to be there for my children. I mean, me and their mother had our obvious issues, but I always made a point that fatherhood is the biggest thing to me. I never lost sight of being better to be
daughter is already an artist; I just know she is. Every time we’re together she’s drawing,” Catteruccia said. “And then my youngest one, I’m still feeling her out as far as seeing if she’s an artist. But she knows every color on the rainbow and identifies color, and she’s only two years old. I hope that they both, as sisters, can take over what their dad left them for my grandkids and great-grandkids.” Catteruccia is on his way towards creating an even brighter future for himself, for his children, and for generations yet to come.
KOOB: The Viking Game that saved me during a pandemic
A book for history buffs, but it wasn’t one for me EMILY MERLIN Social Media Director You know, I’ve read a lot of books in my life: some good, some not so good. “The Geographer’s Library” by Jon Fasman airs on the side of not so good. I’m not saying this is a bad book — no, quite the opposite, but only if you’re into this kind of thing. I read the synopsis on the back of the book, and it said, “When a reclusive scholar dies under obscure circumstances, reporter Paul Tomm is assigned to write his obituary. But when the coroner in the case is murdered, Tomm finds himself pursuing a story that began nine hundred years ago with the theft of alchemical instruments from the court geographer of Sicily.” Two people die, and we’re learning about history!? Yes, please! But little did I know that every other chapter is the story of Paul Tomm and the other chapters are history explanations of certain artifacts. Sure, that sounds fun, but I thought it was boring. In the chapters explaining the artifacts, there would be a drawn picture of the said artifact with a description. It explained the date of manufacture, the manufacturer, place of origin, last known owner, and the estimated value. Which is all fine and dandy, I like old things as much as the next guy, but it was too analytical and slow for me. I was halfway done with the book before I thought, “This is going nowhere.” I enjoy books that are exciting, books where something happens on each page. “The Geographer’s
a better person and be a better father,” said Catteruccia. Not only does Catteruccia strive to be a better person and a better father, but he also strives to make a name for himself, both as a painter and a tattoo artist. “I’d like to have a name, I’d like to travel the country, I’d like to, potentially, get picked up by a painting company or have my own. That’s still up in the air. I do want to own my own tattoo shop one day.” When Catteruccia makes it to that point, he hopes that his daughters can someday take over his legacy. “My oldest

‘“The Geographer’s Library” by John Fasman is a slower-paced book. Library” is not one of those books. The main character, Paul Tomm, didn’t really have a personality. He was dry and didn’t have a purpose for his life. He did the bare minimum of what he was told for his job, went home, slept, woke up, and did the whole thing over again. Even with two murders, he does the same thing every day. I suppose only reading half of the book doesn’t make this a 100 percent credible book review, but I made an attempt at the book. If you’re someone that likes old artifacts and a slow-paced book, then, by all means, read, my bookworms!
KOOB, the Viking game, is a simple Swedish yard game that has been making a strong appearance during the coronavirus pandemic. The game gets its name, the Viking game, because it has been known to have been played since the Viking Age. KOOB brings people together regardless of the condition the world is in. It is a must-have during these trying times. Since COVID-19 hit our planet, things haven’t been the same. Businesses have shut down; group sports and activities have come to a halt. Daily lives filled with hobbies and entertainment have become scarce. But not with KOOB! This game gives family and friends, young and old the opportunity to socially distance in their own backyards while having fun. With a maximum of 12 players and a minimum of two, KOOB is the answer to a boring evening or weekday where you may typically be at the bar with your friends or at a movie with your kids. The game begins with two teams. Each team has five KOOB
pieces standing in a row on each side, and one king is placed in the middle between the teams. Each team takes its turn, throwing six wooden batons trying to knock down their opponent’s KOOBS. Once all five KOOBS are knocked down, the last thing to do is eliminate the king to win. It is straightforward, yet strategic and definitely serves up competition. It can be played in grass, sand, and even snow! It is a perfect set up for a backyard, a beach, or even at a campsite! The only downfall I can say about KOOB is that it is on the pricier side. Though, it is completely worth it with its high quality of 100% natural wood material. The number one reason I recommend the game KOOB is that it pushes me to get outside and be active. I have found that the outdoors has always brought me clarity and peace. So living amongst a pandemic with the majority of the population having to isolate in their homes, KOOB is a prime activity to partake in to get outside and be social. Who would have thought throwing sticks at sticks would be so satisfying?!

‘The Office Ladies’ share stories Podcast by ‘The Office’ co-stars gives listeners a look behind the scenes HANNAH DOTZLER Copy Editor “Office Ladies” is a podcast hosted by actresses Angela Kinsey and Jenna Fischer that takes listeners inside the beloved television show, “The Office.” Each week, the ladies discuss a different episode of “The Office” and give behind-the-scenes stories from the show. Kinsey and Fischer starred as Angela Martin and Pam Beesly in the hit television series for its entire nine seasons. They use the podcast to share their experiences and memories from the show. As a huge fan of the show, “The Office,” I was psyched when I first heard about this podcast. I had high expectations for it, especially considering that two of the biggest stars from the show were going to be hosting it, and “Office Ladies” did not disappoint! There are several things that make the “Office Ladies” podcast so great. First, it is free and easy to access! It can be found on most podcast hosting platforms, and for
no cost. I listen to it on the podcast app that came on my iPhone. There, I can subscribe to “Office Ladies” and receive a notification whenever a new episode is posted. Second, the ladies are great at interacting with their listeners. Each week, listeners are encouraged to view the episode of “The Office” that will be discussed next, and then they can send in any questions they have. I have not sent in any questions yet, although I plan on doing so in the future. I like how whenever I have a question about something while watching “The Office,” this podcast gives me the ability to find the answer. That is not an option for most TV shows. I oftentimes notice little details in “The Office” that I am curious about or that do not make sense, and Kinsey and Fischer always do an amazing job at clearing up even the littlest of things. Third, the ladies make the podcast fun and exciting to listen to. Kinsey and Fischer are best friends, and it is obvious when listening to “Office Ladies.” They make the listener feel as though they are right there with them, a part of their friendship. They add positive, happy energy to the podcast that I really enjoy. And, because they are both comedians, of course, they make the podcast funny! I always find myself laughing at the jokes
Cargo Coffee keeps the music going East side coffee shop is now recording livestreams on-location
‘DND Dragon Lance’ is a world to explore GRANT NELSON Staff Writer
MACKENZIE MOORE News Editor Since COVID-19 shut down music venues across the country in March, many musicians, along with the businesses that once employed them, have been struggling to make ends meet. Cargo Coffee’s east side location is one of a handful of venues that sponsors musicians through livestreams, which are broadcasted on Facebook every Saturday from 6:30-7:30 p.m. “We started doing on-location livestreams around mid-August. Up until then, our featured artists would stream from their homes. . . Once we got the gear set up, though, we wanted to start inviting them to stream from the stage at Cargo [Coffee] to help us all stay better connected,” says Dana Perry, who is both a musician and an employee at the shop. Running the shows with Perry are German Joseph Schrock and Dustin Harmon, who is most known as the lead sound engineer at Madison’s Warm Glow Studios.
and sarcastic comments they make throughout each episode. Lastly, I love how much more I have learned about my favorite show, and just the making of television shows in general. When I go back and watch old episodes of The Office, I cannot help but notice some of the things the ladies pointed out throughout the podcast. For example, they had mentioned scenes where actors in the background started laughing when they were not supposed to, and it is funny to go back and see. I have also gained a lot of appreciation for how much work and dedication go into making a television show. For example, actors had to work long hours and do several takes just to get one scene right. And, the person who was in charge of something as simple as props actually had a very important job. They were the ones who picked out everything from the bobblehead on a character’s desk to the food that was displayed in the vending machine in the breakroom. I am certain that any fan of “The Office” would love “Office Ladies.” If you are anything like me and you have found yourself re-watching the series more than a few times, “Office Ladies” is what you need to hear new stories on the episodes you’ve seen so many times.
Speaking on Harmon’s expertise, Perry states, “He has years of experience in sound . . . He gets the artists sounding good and gives us a clean, balanced audio feed to go with our video. We’re definitely spoiled rotten having him here.” Still, getting the coffee shop livestream-ready was not without its setbacks. Among the most common issues were cracklings sounds and audio and video not syncing. Despite this, in a matter of weeks, each stream began run-
ning without issue. What appears to separate Cargo Coffee from most venues during this pandemic is that these livestreams are not expected to be done once businesses can operate as they did previously. “We’re hoping to continue the series after we can gather audiences again. The hope is that people will stay engaged watching at home, then become a live audience member once the time is right,” Perry announced.
So over quarantine, I fell in love with the media franchise of “Dungeons and Dragons: Dragon Lance.” It is an insanely popular and long-running DND franchise that has films, books and many other forms of media set in its universe. The world is very Middle Earth-like in that it its full of races such as elves, dwarfs and of course dragons. It revolves around a very Tolkien-like group of travelers who find themselves in a broken realm with strife division between the many cultures. The story starts with the peace shattered by an invasion of dragons and their slaves. The main plot takes the fellowship across the land and is filled with many storylines as the dragons search for ancient relics left over from the old gods of universe. The books do very well with world building, but the franchise is filled with film adaptations, old super Nintendo role playing games and game modules for DND. The franchise immerses you into the characters and story in many forms of media, and you can turn the world into a personal adventure for entire groups of people. This entire franchise was created by its writers in a car ride to Wisconsin as they moved to Lake Geneva, and is one of oldest DND settings on the market. So, if you are looking for a good book to read or want to quest in this world yourself, I would highly recommend it.

KALEIA LAWRENCE Opinion Editor
Madison College students to join 59 other schools in second year of NJCAA gaming competitions KYLE KUNZ Sports Editor The WolfPack will join 59 other teams in the National Junior College Athletic Association’s second year of its E-sports Competition. Madison College is one of 33 new programs to add E-sports to its athletic department as the schools deal with the limited fall sports offerings due to COVID-19. Madison College had intended to start the E-sports Program in the 2021 school year, but COVID- 19 moved that timeline up. When asked about it, Jason Verhelst, the Associate Athletic Director said the pandemic “played a big impact. We had planned to begin our intercollegiate E-sports program next year.”
Even with the earlier timeline, the newly formed program hasn’t had to lower its expectations at all and has had even better turn out than they expected. At the time of the interview, Verhelst said they had 37 people interested in the program. All they needed was 15 to 20. When the WolfPack E sports team gathers to practice and play, they will be doing so remotely for the time being. Verhelst said they are looking at a physical space of some sort in the future. “It’s something that’s on the to do list,” he said. “We’ll start our meetings this fall to discuss how we are going to do that and fund raise enough money to get one for next year” The fall season will run from Sept. 21 through Nov. 14, with playoffs and
championships going from Nov. 15 through Dec. 12. The WolfPack will compete in Super Smash Brothers for the Nintendo Switch, Overwatch and Rocket League on the PC and Madden 21 on the Playstation 4. The student athletes will have to supply their own systems to play these games on, but the games will be provided for them. There will be a spring season as well with different game offerings, but those dates and games have not been released yet. The E-sports program would like to live stream the games so everyone can show their school pride and root for the WolfPack. Watch for more updates on the Fall streaming schedule, roster, and important spring dates.
Online workouts now offered by Madison College KALEIA LAWRENCE Opinion Editor As we enter the fall semester almost everything is still online, and it’s going to be that way for a while. It might feel like you’re missing out on some of the typical experiences that come with the new semester. Maybe you miss breaking a sweat at the Fitness Center, but home exercises just aren’t your thing. I get it, you can only do so many push-ups in your room before you want to lay there until the pandemic is over. To switch things up, I tried the virtual workout offered by the college’s Recreation Department. Meetings are done via

Workout with college fitness instructors from your home. WebEx. To access them, go to madisoncollegerecreation. com. It’s free for students. If you’re nervous to do it alone, but you don’t have any Madison College buddies to try it with, that’s OK. Anyone can join for only $5. Mondays and Fridays are led by Bridget Jost. On Wednesdays, it’s kickboxing
with Brianna Klocek. The workouts are one hour long. You keep your camera and microphone turned off. One benefit of this is you can play your own music. You also don’t have to worry about other people hearing you knock things over...at least in my case. But if you have any ques-
tions, you can turn on your microphone to ask. If you miss a day, recordings are posted on the website. “You can always go back and watch it again. So if a week passes between sessions with me is too long, you can go back and do it … hopefully when you’re not sore,” said Klocek. For those who are on the fence about trying it out, Jost says just give it a try. “You don’t know unless you try,” she said. “That’s for everything, whether in school or anything. You’re trying new stuff every day, so why not give it a try? And if you fall in love with it, you fall in love with it. And if you don’t, you move on.”
When it comes to coaches, the women’s volleyball program has seen many of them in the past few years. After Ashely Davis’ leave in 2018, Jeffery Thomas was hired on. He left after one season on short notice, leaving the assistant coaches, Lindsey Swansby, Emily DeJarlais, and Sydney Toon to fill the role as co-head coaches. This season, Quinn Lukens will lead the WolfPack, assisted by Rachel Burke and Tyler Larke. Although he’s new to being a collegiate head coach, he’s a familiar face in the Madison volleyball scene. Since moving from California 10 years ago, he’s been involved with the club volleyball team, Capital. He was hired just days before COVID-19 closed the campus last spring. Having only three days in his office before everything shut down could be seen as a bad thing, but he looks at it in a positive way. “I think it’s beneficial for a first year coach like myself to ... be a part of things when it’s so new for everybody,” he said. “So I don’t feel like I’m behind the eight ball in any way because everybody is on the same page basically right now.” He hopes to bring consistency during his time as head coach. “Knowing that there’s been a variety of different coaches over the past five or six years, you know, I definitely want to establish a consistent culture, you know, so there can be a little bit of history within the program, or at least the program under my leadership and the coaching staff ’s leadership.” Lukens hopes to make some improvements. He wants the volleyball program to gain the reputation of consistently having athletes play at the next level. “I want to establish culture, you know, and make sure that the experience that athletes have playing volleyball at Madison College is a positive one, but also a challenging one,” Lukens said.

Fantasy football changes after week 1
MILWAUKEE BREWERS
BOH SUH Staff Writer The first week match ups are probably the toughest time for fantasy football managers to know what to do with their guys. When your first-round pick gives you three points and your “eh whatever, I will draft him” in your 12th round gives you 25 points on the bench. You may wonder “Hmm, is my first round pick a bust and that 12th guy is a breakout player?” Suddenly, you are Googling your players to see about their season predictions, and you get basically the conclusion that everyone can be a bust and a sleeper. My advice is that you try to keep your first-round guy for now instead of trying to talk about the trade. They can be slow starters or adjust in their new teams (or they are actually hurt….). Plus, their value is a little bit lower than you would like it to be even if you found someone in your league interested in your guy. I also would not jump on the hot hand after week one. Someone that you have never heard of in your life suddenly got 12 receptions and 150 yards with three TDs in first week. The likely scenario is that that person will come down to the Earth unless that was achieved by the primary receiver getting hurt, which is a different story. As long as a team’s first WR is available, the 3rd wide out is less likely to continue because either the first wide receiver will bounce back the next game or will demand more targets from the coach and the quarterback. However, if the main wide receiver or running back is hurt, and the guy scores a good amount? Yes, that’s your guy. Put your mouse right on that FA (+) button right away on Sunday night. I really believe that Chase Edmund will be Arizona’s primary running back at some point (or not, and I will waste my bench spot for the rest of the season). Anyway, here is my suggestion for pickups after week 1.
Quarterback
1. Mitchell Trubisky (Chicago) – He has a nice matchup against the NY Giants, and he should have a good game. He is not really running much, but he should be a good streaming option if you are uncertain with your QB this week. 2. Baker Mayfield (Cleveland) & Joe Burrow (Cincinnati) – This is a more exciting matchup between two rookie QBs (well, Mayfield has a little more experience) between Mayfield and Burrow. Both will try to throw a lot

He is pictured with Kyle Long and General Manager Ryan Pace of the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Aug. 29, 2019. and run as much as they can. Not a bad matchup for streaming either Mayfield or Burrow.
Running Back
1. Christ Thompson (Jacksonville) – If you are in PPR league, his value is much higher. He is not a traditional RB that carries 20 times a game, but he will still carry between 5 and 10 and give you a few catches. He is worth a flex spot. 2. Chase Edmunds (Arizona) – I believe in Chase Edmund! I just don’t think that Kenyan Drake can keep it up with his health. Edmund had potential to handle a starter’s workload last year. (He rushed 27 times for 126 years with 3 TDs and 2 receptions for 24 yards). If you are Drake owner, definitely keep Chae Edmunds on your bench in case anything happens with him. 3. Devonta Freeman (Free agent) – It was not the best year for Freeman as his total yards and the number of TDs decreased. However, he is still a serviceable RB if he is given an opportunity. With possible injuries and positive COVID-19 test potential, Freeman will be playing for a NFL team someday.
Wide receiver
1. Allen Lazard (Green Bay) – I believe that Aaron Rodgers will have a big season this year, which means the second wide receiver, Lazard will have a good fantasy year as well. If Davante Adams has to miss any time for any reasons, Lazard will enter as potential top 10 wide receiver. 2. Anthony Miller (Chicago) – The
matchup against NYG makes me like the Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. Miller showed that he can still perform well even with Robinson as No.1 wide receiver. Miller should have a good game this week. 3. Alshon Jeffery (Philadelphia) – With injury, Jeffery is often left on Waiver. When he played, he got a good amount of receptions and targets. With Jackson being aged and Reagor being inexperienced, Jeffery can step up to be a No. 1 receiver in the Eagles’ offense. 4. Corey Davis (Tennessee) – Okay, so everyone is hyped about A.J. Brown, but his health is a concern. Someone has to step up, and Davis who showed some potential last year should be the guy.
Tight end
1. C.J. Uzomath (Cincinnati) – The rookie quarterbacks tend to rely on their tight ends. Uzomath may not be a bad option if you are struggling to find a tight end option for this week. 2. Ricky Seals-Jones (Kansas City) – Seals-Jones is a backup tight end in case Travis Kelce is down for any reasons. With the current pandemic, anything can be possible, so I will snag him on your bench in case that happens. But, yeah I wouldn’t start him without Kelce’s absence.

College football Top 25 game predictions for the 3rd week of the season BOH SUH Staff writer Whether COVID-19 pandemic is still going ongoing or not, college football season is back. Currently, the Big Ten and the Pac-12 conference have opted out for the 2020-2021 season, although it’s been reported that they’re considering having a season that begins after November. Anyway, there are not as many games scheduled for Week 3, but here are a few Top 25 games. 1. Tulsa vs. Oklahoma State – My pick: Oklahoma State. Tulsa finished as 4-8 last season. While Oklahoma State did not have a great season, but they had some close games against top 25 teams in Big12 last year. Oklahoma State will take care of the business before heading into its conference matchup against West Virginia a week after. 2. Austin Peay vs. Cincinnati – My pick: Cincinnati. Austin Peay lost against Central Arkansas already. This is the year Cincinnati wants revenge against Memphis after two losses in a

Cincinnati will handle this game easily. 3. South Florida vs. Notre Dame – My pick: Notre Dame. As a part of ACC, Notre Dame will have many exciting matchups coming up (yes, I am talking about the matchup against Clemson on
the Nov. 7). South Florida had a great start in the 2018-2019 season as 7-0, but since then, well let’s hope for the best for this year. 4. Charlotte vs. North Carolina – My pick: North Carolina. I learned that Charlotte’s team is called the 49ers. I
only knew the NFL team, San Francisco 49ers. North Carolina (UNC) is known for its fantastic basketball team, but they had some sparks last year. (They were a 2-point conversion away from knocking Clemson out of the playoff picture). UNC should be able to win by 2 or more touchdowns. 5. UCF vs. Georgia Tech – My pick: UCF. Unfortunately, this is probably the closest matchup we will see in Week 3’s Top 25 matchups. I wish that UCF is playing against other ACC teams like North Carolina or Notre Dame, which will make the game more unpredictable. Georgia Tech lost against The Citadel after barely passing by South Florida last year. UCF will get its victory against a Power 5 team. 6. The Citadel vs. Clemson – My pick: C… Clemson. UPSET ALERT (Spoiler: Just kidding). This is the toughest matchup that Clemson will face this year, and its QB Trevor Lawrence may throw more interceptions than touchdowns. Yeah, no. Clemson football team may score as much as Clemson basketball team in this game.
