APSU Onestop, D2l changes access information ETHAN STEINQUEST MANAGING EDITOR

APSU’s online services, including email, OneStop, D2L and WiFi, will be shutting down from 11 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 2, until 6 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 3, to allow for a campuswide password transition.

Following the downtime, all student passwords will be changed to “ApA(student’s eight-digit A number).” Usernames will remain the same. Students may change their passwords, but they will not expire.

Staff and faculty will not have their passwords or usernames reset. Instead, their

OneStop login information will be changed to the same username and password used for their email.

University Communications Specialist Colin Harris said the purpose of the transition is to streamline the university’s online services for students, faculty and staff.

“Not every single service will be immediately covered by this,” Harris said, “but the big ones will … The goal for all of this is to ultimately unify all campus online services under one login and password.”

SGA made history by passing Resolution No. 4, which will see them directly fund a student organization for an event for the first time, at their meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 26.

After a lengthy debate during the meeting on Oct. 19, SGA further discussed the resolution, which would provide funds to Del Square Psi to purchase 5,000 viewing glasses for an event celebrating the Aug. 17, 2017 solar eclipse.

The senate ultimately passed it with a 2/3 majority, against the recommendation of Dean of Students and SGA adviser Greg Singleton.

Singleton said at the previous meeting that funding an individual organization could set a precedent and open the door for other organizations to come asking for funds.

While a bill sponsored by Sen. Frank Burns to allocate funding for National Pan-Hellenic Council last year was passed by the senate, it was ultimately vetoed by former SGA President Will Roberts. This event was brought up again during the Oct. 26 debate as a reason to not pass the resolution.

Sen. Joseph Spear sponsored the resolution on behalf of Justice Jacob Robertson.

“I think that it will be a great way to benefit the student body,” Spear said.

A few APSU students attended the SGA meeting to show support for the resolution, and applauded its passing.

SGA also discussed Act No. 6. Written

by Sen. Thomas Murphy, it would provide SGA the power to oversee and vote on SOC expenditures exceeding $1,500. This lead to another debate

Felix G. Woodward Library conducts survey for students LAUREN COTTLE PERSPECTIVES EDITOR

The Felix G. Woodward Library is conducting a Library Quality Survey to understand student and staff opinions of the library as well as improve library quality. The last time this survey was conducted was in 2009.

“It’s important that we receive responses from all areas of the university – the Clarksville campus, Fort Campbell and distance education students – and from students and faculty in all colleges and academic programs,” Joe Weber, director of library services, said.

The library faculty and staff will be conducting the survey between Oct. 24 and Nov. 18. The survey can be filled out at the APSU Woodward Library website at library. apsu.edu.

The survey includes 44 questions and an

Demaray named associate vice president of finance NOELLE OLEARTCHICK CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Sherry L. Demaray was named the new associate vice president for finance at APSU, effective Oct. 17.

Demaray will oversee the operations of the finance office, procurement and contract service and auxiliary support services. Her duties include: managing the budgets for areas of responsibility, the wiring of funds, preparing budgets for auxiliary services, preparing yearend financial reports for the Tennessee Board of Regents, managing the university-wide risk assessment and ensuring integrity of the university financial systems.

Demaray has a background in higher education administration, finance and planning. She was previously the Vice President for Finance at Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. While there she was responsible for business operations, purchasing, human resources, risk management, bookstore and university facilities.

Demaray was a member of the president’s cabinet and the treasurer to the board of trustees and the LSSU Foundation while working at LSSU. She played an integral role in the development of the University’s Strategic Plan and re-accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission. She also led the campus through its 20-year master planning process and was the lead team member for capital outlay projects.

In addition to serving at LSSU, Demaray has financial experience working the private sector. She was the treasurer for Tendercare Inc., a long-term care provider in Michigan.

She also served as an accountant and senior auditor for Gavigan Burkhart Freeman & Co, a Michigan-based public accounting firm.

Demaray said she is excited for the opportunity to join the APSU community.

“I could not be more proud to have been selected for this opportunity,” Demaray said. “The growth potential of the university, professionalism of the staff, and the comfortable small campus feel made moving to Tennessee one of the easiest decisions I have made. Everyone has been very welcoming, and I am excited to be part of the APSU team and officially a ‘Gov’.”

option to leave comments or suggestions. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Students who complete the survey are eligible to win a gift card. After the 2009 survey, the main floor of the library was renovated to add more computers, group study spaces and Starbucks. Funds were also added to improve the library’s e-journal collection to address faculty concerns.

“Whenever we do a survey about services and resources, we’re never sure what we’ll learn about library users’ perceptions,” Weber said. “We really would like to hear everyone’s opinions about how the library is doing.”

The current building of the library was open on Feb. 20, 1967. The library was named as a tribute to the dean of faculty.

SGA

Continued from page 1 regarding the ethics of SOC and the method of which SOC decides which organizations to fund.

Sen. Rebecca Jacks, one of SGA’s two representatives on SOC, voiced concerns regarding the structure and decision-making of SOC. “In two months they (SOC) have spent a third of their budget already,” Jacks said. “I noticed there were specific organizations that were repeatedly funded, as well as organizations that were repeatedly not funded that I found concerning.”

Jacks also said she did not support SOC funding an invitation for Adam Ritz to speak at the university.

“I am very concerned about the Student Organization Council, their infrastructure and lack thereof,” Jacks said.

While Murphy said the bill does not delve into the ethics of the decision making of the SOC per se, it would allow the SGA to have more of a voice in the spending of the $30,000 SGA allocates to SOC every year.

Singleton said the SOC was created to alleviate the burden of the SGA, who he said spent 95 percent of their time on budget allocation instead of focusing on legislation before SOC was formed. He also recommended inviting SOC representatives to speak to SGA before making a decision.

Act No.6 was tabled until and will be discussed further after representatives from the SOC are invited to give their perspective to SGA. The rest of the Murphy Finance Reform Acts, Act Nos. 3, 4 and 5, were passed.

Progress, experience:

The case for Hillary Clinton LYNSIE COOK

STAFF WRITER LCOOK9@MY.APSU.EDU

If you care about your future, vote for Hillary Clinton.

Donald Trump and Clinton may go down in history as the most unlikeable presidential candidates, but you have to admit Hillary Clinton is a lot less despicable.

Someone who unveiled a U.N. resolution to combat sexual violence against women and children in conflict zones, who as Secretary of State helped the U.S. impose sanctions on Iran—paving the way to the nuclear deal blocking their path to a nuclear weapon, someone who stood up on the global stage and declared, “LGBTQ rights are human rights” and sat in the Situation Room when President Obama brought Osama bin Laden to justice does not deserve to lose to someone like Donald Trump.

What was Trump doing during this time? Oh, right. He was starring in the reality TV show “Celebrity Apprentice.”

Unlike her opponent, Clinton is a legitimate presidential candidate with actual credentials and plans for this country that will benefit the people living in it.

According to NPR, Clinton wants to restrict companies from moving profits overseas. She wants increased tax burdens on wealthier Americans.

She wants to reduce taxes on low- and middle-income earners and increase the minimum wage.

Unlike her opponent, Clinton is a legitimate presidential candidate with actual credentials and plans for this country that will benefit the people living in it.”

Clinton also recognizes the gender pay gap and she wants to work toward closing it.

Unlike her opponent, Clinton supports funding for Planned Parenthood and a woman’s right to an abortion.

This alone should encourage women to vote for her because a man should not dictate what women can do with their bodies, especially a man who already thinks he can do whatever he wants to their bodies.

One major issue Americans seem to have with Clinton is the exhausted

email scandal.

According to factcheck.org, yes, the FBI recovered “several thousand workrelated emails” that Clinton did not turn over to the State Department.

However, Trump claimed Clinton deleted her emails to “cover up her crimes,” but FBI Director James Comey said the FBI found “no evidence that any of the work-related e-mails were intentionally deleted in an effort to conceal them.”

Recently, the email case against Clinton has been opened up again, but there is no indication that the investigation has any merit.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates disagreed with Comey’s reopening of the case, according to CNN. Scandals like this that are blown up for no reason just further show the fearmongering of Trump’s politics.

Trump often claims Clinton is trying to take away the second amendment, but Clinton simply supports increased gun control and increased background checks, which could potentially help reduce the costs associated with gun violence.

Unlike Trump, Clinton does not want to deport millions of undocumented immigrants and she does not believe we should build a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border. He believes Muslims should face extra immigration hurdles, which is racist and discriminatory.

Trump’s plans benefit one type of person in this country. Trump’s plans do not correspond to a socially progressive society.

Clinton acknowledges the fact that there is a lot of work to do to restore the trust between communities and police. The Democratic nominee believes the African-American prison population is disproportionately large. She supports the Black Lives Matter movement and the use of body cameras on our police.

Under Clinton’s education plan, every student will have the option to graduate from a public college or university in their state without taking on any student debt. All community colleges will offer free tuition. That alone should send college students all over the country sprinting to the poll booths to vote for Clinton.

The main reason you should vote for Clinton is she is not Trump and if you do not get out there and vote for her, he will become the next President of the United States.

As Americans, we deserve better than what Trump has to offer this country.

Hillary Clinton is running against someone who is so inept, so unfit and so dangerous – how could you not be With Her?

Change of pace:

The case for Donald Trump JESS STEPHENS

STAFF WRITER JSTEPHENS25@MY.APSU.EDU

Americans should elect Donald Trump because he is not a politician, which will allow for new ideas and voices in the White House.

The 2016 presidential election has been viewed as a joke across the world.

When the last two candidates turned out to be Trump and Hillary Clinton, the U.S. and the rest of the world were shocked. Individuals were stunned a non-politician could have made it so far in the race, especially someone like multi-billionaire Trump.

Around 75 percent of Americans believe politicians are corrupt, according to Gallup and termlimits. org. This percentage implies that perhaps current and more recent political figures have been unsuccessful overall in the field of bettering cities, states and the country. This raises the question of whether or not having a person outside of the political realm could be more helpful.

Trump is often viewed as blunt, but he is not strongly viewed as a liar. Clinton has been caught in several lies, such as violating State Department protocols by using a private, family email account for confidential information and blaming the Benghazi attacks on a nonexistent video rather than the terrorists who were responsible.

Clinton also worked to protect her husband while he was in office by hunting down the women with whom he had affairs in order to silence them, according to The Washington Times.

It seems hypocritical for Clinton and her supporters to call out Trump on any crude comment he may have made when Clinton’s own husband, whilst in office, committed worse infidelities and she worked to protect him. Clinton has also been referred to by many articles as a pathological or compulsive liar.

Trump is not a politician. He is a successful and powerful multibillionaire and would gain nothing from the presidential salary or title.

Trump is not a people-pleaser; he says what people do not want to hear. He is not ill-informed about politics and is often much more truthful.

Clinton, on the other hand, would benefit more from being president and often seems to say things just to make people happy, including being anti-firearm, her stances on amnesty, approving of abortion as late-term as nine months and legalizing drugs.

It seems as though she is trying to rally as many supporters as possible strictly to gain more votes, not because she personally thinks the causes are

worthwhile.

It is perfectly fine to be accepting and welcoming, but Clinton appears to agree with any cause she thinks will help her ‘get the vote.’

Many of Clinton’s policies and speeches praise the work of President Barack Obama and communicate her wishes to continue the work he began.

If Clinton continues Obama’s work, it is expected the military and its budget will be downsized even more, there will be an increase in taxes and national spending and the national debt is likely to increase as well.

Trump is often viewed as blunt, but he is not strongly viewed as a liar. Clinton has been caught in several lies, such as violating State Department protocols.”

In the 220 years between the terms of George Washington and George W. Bush, the U.S. garnered 10.6 trillion dollars in debt. In the eight years Obama has been in office, the national debt has increased to 19.5 trillion dollars, nearly doubling, according to The Washington Times.

Clinton wishes to continue in Obama’s footsteps, but this trend seems unhealthy for the U.S. Trump plans on increasing the budget and size of the military, which is good. Just because a war is small or over does not mean that military forces should be depleted. When backs are turned, the knives come out and the military should be kept strong, with enough funding to buy new equipment and to keep machines and aircraft in perfect working order.

Trump also focuses on securing the borders, which has been a huge issue in the past. He is supportive of the second amendment and the NRA, is pro-life and pro-constitution.

If a presidential candidate is going to follow any framework for a government, why not follow the constitution, one of the most successful and long-lasting?

The U.S. needs a president to take a different road and to look at things the way they should be looked at: seriously. No matter how many people Clinton might appease, she cannot please everyone. The president should focus on making America stronger, not on making it weaker. Trump can bring in new ideas with a policy that focuses on improving America as the country it has always worked to be.

FMLA raises awareness of sexual assault with T-shirts across campus JOSHUA CLEMENTS FEATURES WRITER

T-shirts hung up on clotheslines filled the University Center Plaza all day Thursday, Oct. 27. The T-shirts had stories of people who are survivors of sexual assault and abuse, and the family members of people who did not survive to tell their stories. The T-shirts spanned from the plaza between the UC and Ann Ross Bookstore all the way to Browning Drive.

The Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance has hosted the Clothesline Project at APSU for 19 years. Each year more shirts are added to the clothesline

that weaves a narrative for the victims of abuse and broadcasts the stories to the student body.

“The project started in 1991 when a group of women realized that there were the same amount of deaths of women over the course of the year as soldiers who fell in Vietnam,” Coordinator of Gender Studies Jill Eichorn said. “So they wondered where their wall was and that is how the Clothesline Project came to be.”

Children play in new Pumpkin Patch Child Learning Center hosts pumpkin decorating, hay ride in new event AALIYAH MITCHELL

ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR

Children and adults can often celebrate holidays very differently, so family inclusive events are in high demand. The APSU Little Govs Child Learning Center helped provide another point for children and parents to meet in the middle with their first annual Pumpkin Patch held Wednesday, Oct. 26.

The children, parents, grandparents and anyone who wanted to accompany them came to the Sexton building at 2:30 p.m. The employees filled the playground with pumpkins, toy horses and toys to play with and a place for the students to get their faces painted.

Each child had to pick out a pumpkin, take it home, and decorate it with their families as a bonding activity. By the

pumpkin patch rules, the pumpkins could not be carved. The children were supposed to bring their pumpkins back Friday, Oct. 28 for a small competition for prizes.

“We converted the playground into a pumpkin patch. There’s an area for facepainting and there’s also an area for them to paint a class pumpkin. They have some activities going on outside. The goal is to have a family event and we have a lot of moms and dads and grandmas,” Director of APSU Little Govs Child Learning Center Claudia Rodriguez said.

On top of the activities in the

playground, the assistant director of the physical plant, Wes Powell, brought a tractor to pull along the children in hayrides. The families went back and forth from the playground taking turns on the ride.

Some student workers participated, helping children on and off the wagons throughout the event.

“We have student workers that are volunteering for the event. Some that are just assisting getting kids on the wagons and stuff like that. We have some helping See PUMPKIN on page 5

When the project started, the FMLA focused on assault towards women, but Eichorn said they “have come to realize that men are also affected.”

All the shirts told a diverse story of the different walks of life of the victims of abuse.

Some shirts told the story of anger over lost innocence or a lost family, while others told of defiance against their abusers.

“All these shirts stand out to me because we are normally covered by clothes.

However, these shirts are covered with

FEATURES stories and emotional scars that a piece of clothing would normally be covering,” Turner said.

The FMLA had a table set up in the middle of the clothesline display with literature about awareness of abusive relationships and the appropriate way to conduct oneself when out in the dating world.

They also set up a table for students to come and write on T-shirts to share their story about how abuse may have affected them or a loved one’s life.

“I’m glad to see all these stories broadcast for all to see. In many cases stories of assault are brushed under the rug as a source of shame, so the victim has no outlet to tell the world,” freshmen business major Peyton Garman said.

Haunted asylum takes over Housing Hand Village continues annual Halloween tradition, hosts haunted house Thursday JOSHUA CLEMENTS FEATURES WRITER

The inmates were running the asylum at the Hand Village lobby Thursday night, when the resident staff converted it into this years Haunted Hand. For the past few years the staff has turned the lobby into a make shift haunted house.

“We started working on the idea for this year’s Haunted Hand starting at the beginning of the semester and it is something of a tradition now as it has been going on for four years now,” sophomore history major Nicholas Own said.

Approaching the Hand Village Lobby from Drane Street revealed completely blacked out windows with no possible way to see inside. In the lobby itself, the same black paper was hanging from the celling.

“This year we went with an asylum theme that I think turned out well,” junior Spanish major Alaina Davis said.

“We started to prep the lobby around 3:30 p.m. and the only problem we had was blacking out the windows, but other that it has went very smooth with the set up.”

Imagine having to solve a murder on campus in an old building full of history, and the Harned Hall Murder Mystery party is created.

There is character roleplay mixed in with a murder mystery plot similar to Clue and interaction between students, the Literature Club and Sigma Tau Delta members. This was the setting for the Murder Mystery party on Friday, Oct. 29.

At the party, everyone received a character to play and a basic summary of the mystery. The organizers participated as well, but were open to questions if anyone got confused.

Each participant got to pick a character and find out clues from the other characters in the room. One person was the ghost of the murder victim and could also give clues.

“It was amazing fun, and I like how accurate the descriptions were and how it played along in the storyline,” literature graduate student and member of Sigma Tau Delta Jessica Tompking said.

The guests and hosts ate a dinner full of candy snacks and hot chili while listening to Halloween music to create the mood.

This event is something done for the Halloween season and gets everyone attending involved, even if that person was the murder victim.

Each participant had clues and an alibi and it was up to guests to solve the murder mystery.

It was amazing fun, and I like how accurate the descriptions were and how it played along in the storyline.”

“This is the second year we’ve done this event. We partnered up and there is a story made, usually by a Literature Club member, and then everyone works together to make it a fun event,” President of Sigma Tau Delta Aubrey Collins said.

No character got left behind, and the story combined many iconic horror characters, such as Carrie, and mixed the stories into one the participants could enjoy.

“It was a fun event and I feel like we should have more events like this on campus. High five for being a supernatural creature in the mystery that shouldn’t exist,” junior English major Romero Clements said.

Harned Hall’s historical atmosphere created the setting for the party as well. Sigma Tau Delta and Literature Club decorated the dining area in a Halloween theme.

“We had a lot more participants this year than last year and we’re hoping it keeps growing like that. It turned out well and I hope everyone had fun,” Collins said.

The event ended to the tune of Halloween songs like “This is Halloween” and “I’ll Put A Spell On You.”

To help create the Halloween atmosphere, monsters, spiders and pumpkins decorated the hall, while the performers dressed up in costumes.

The event was open to APSU students, faculty and surrounding community.

Children and families also dressed up to show their excitement and support.

The ensemble performs twice on the same night once at 6 p.m. and the other at 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale weeks in advance and both shows sell out prior to the day of the performance. According to APSU’s website, this has occurred since 2014. While the ensemble has put on

the concert for 32 years, there is a new surprise every year for the audience to keep them coming back.

“This is my first year not being in the show,” senior instrumental education major Brenden Ambrose said. “But professor Steinquest was fabulous like always. He does a great job making it new and exciting every year.”

Director and percussion instructor David Steinquest frequently used dialogue and interactivity with the audience to keep them engaged. He introduced each piece with a small rehearsed conversation with the audience or his ensemble. While the concert was Halloween-themed, the show gave the audience members an additional impression.

“The parts in between the music, sometime during, made me feel like I was at a circus instead of a concert.

The whole concert had an exciting and fun feel to it,” senior health and human performance major Amber Bartle said.
