Editor’s Farewell To my fellow students, to faculty and staff, and to administration, Whether we’re best of friends or whether you don’t even recognize the name printed here on paper, for the last two years I have had the great opportunity of leading this paper. To many, it may seem as though the paper just magically shows up on stands each Tuesday, but that doesn’t represent a fraction of the hard work and time my members put in on a weekly basis. I have seen members go days without sleep for the right shot, put hundreds
“
...I realize that the time has come that The Avion needs change. And that change now needs to be me.
Presidential Farewell Dear ERAU Family, Thank YOU. One year ago Denean, Carlos and I ran for the Student Government Association (SGA) Executive Board under our campaign of “Building the ERAU Family.” Our goals were to elevate school spirit, increase communication and continue to enhance the quality of events and services that the SGA provides for the student body. We looked at current programs such as the Council of Presidents and made it better by providing leadership education for our student leaders. We revamped our services by eliminating those that weren’t working and implementing new ones that could impact the future. One of my personal focus points this year has been the upcoming Student Union building. After seeing the initial proposed plans at the beginning of our term, we believed the project was lacking in certain areas that would adversely affect the students for years to come. We resolved to keep our promise of communicating to the student body and after listening to your concerns, we were successful in increasing study space, redistributing critical areas more efficiently, maintaining enough event space for student organizations and increasing the project as a whole by ten million dollars. Some people have approached me and thanked me for advocating for the students, but I truly could never have made any kind of impact
without you. Our students have been loud and clear, and when the Embry-Riddle Family gets together with a clear vision in mind, we can accomplish anything. Towards the beginning of my term, I was asked “what happens when you have built the ERAU family?” I realized at the time that a family is not something you build and walk away from; it is a culture that you continue to grow and feed forever. With all of the major events and projects this year, we realize that these past few months have been exceptional in more ways than one, but I stand by what I have said time and time again—I am perfectly content with being forgotten. I say this because if we
are to measure our success as leaders of this community it will be by how those who have learned from us will continue to make it better. I will never forget the people that have helped me achieve what I would have otherwise considered impossible three and a half years ago, and I am humbled to have made a similar impact on those who will be filling our leadership vacuum. As I leave this campus I realize how right seniors were when they told me that time would fly by, but I am reassured by the fact that I will forever be an Embry-Riddle Eagle. GO EAGLES! Andre J. Prescott Former SGA President

of miles on their vehicles to get on location, do whatever it takes to get the interview, and spend long nights putting it all together here in print. These members are the real heroes of The Avion, and it has been an honor to lead such a talented and amazing staff. Though my time as leader of this organization is quickly coming to a close, I look forward to influencing the The Avion in other ways in my newly found position of Managing Editor for the coming fall semester. Acting as second in command, I will have more time to directly influence design, web presence and digital accessibility, all of which have been strong focuses of my editorship. Though it is hard to step back, I realize that the time has come that The Avion needs change. And that change now needs to be me. Being a part of this paper has been one of the best decisions of my life. I have made some of my best friends here and in the Student Government Association, I have experienced things that I would never have been able to see otherwise, and I have felt like I served a purpose in this giant college ecosystem, but as all good things do, it must eventually come to an end. I love this newspaper and I couldn’t think of a better way I would like to have spent my college career. Thank you all for the opportunity to serve you as your Editor-in-Chief. Sincerely, Trey Henderson Avion Editor-in-Chief Fall 2013-Spring 2015

Sex is not a Game Content Courtesy Dr. Libbie Searcy’s HU145 Class
Safe-Sex Presentation in the Student Center On April 21 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., a group of students from Dr. Searcy’s HU 145 class (“American Pop Culture: Calling For A Sexual Revolution?”) will be putting on a small event in the Student Center: a table where students can walk up and obtain condoms and some useful information for free. As part of an assignment for the class, students from Dr. Searcy’s class have decided
to try to make the idea of sex less taboo on campus. Two groups with separate intentions joined to host this event: the first group focused on reducing the amount of judgment associated with an individual’s choice whether or not to have sex, and the second group focused on the importance of practicing safe sex. The large group came together when they realized that they
had similar goals: promoting acceptance of individuals who are not sexually active as well as individuals who are. Students sponsoring the event want to create a more open and accepting environment in the Embry-Riddle community where sex and protection can be discussed openly. These students also feel that it is important for individuals choosing to be sexually active to do
so in a safe way and that students choosing not to have sex do not feel pressured to do so by their peers. The event is important because college students need to make sure that they are making the appropriate choices for themselves and not allowing other people to pressure or ridicule them. In addition, the event will hopefully remind students about the important of practicing safe sex.
Spreading the Word About Consent My name is Tony Ports, and I am a fifth year senior at Embry-Riddle. Over the past semester, I’ve been working on a group project with other students (Jessica Strauss, Yechan Kim and Dylan Consbruck) in Dr. Searcy’s Themes in Humanities class (“American Pop-Culture: Calling for a Sexual Revolution?”). Dr. Searcy assigned a project requiring students to promote awareness about an issue related to the course theme.
My group chose sexual consent for a very important reason. Sexual violence occurs far too often on college campuses across America, and we want this trend to end. Throughout colleges all across America, sexual violence is an epidemic. As students, we need to learn how to identify when these acts are happening and how to help. By definition, consent is giving permission for something to happen. However,
there are many problems with this definition in terms of a sexual encounter. For starters, consent cannot be given when under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If a sexual act is committed while someone is under the influence, it’s rape, even if both parties are intoxicated. Also, consent is not merely a “yes”; it’s a clear, sober, enthusiastic “yes.” Our campaign will run through the last week of the spring
semester. Around campus, different posters with a black background will offer quotes about consent. These posters will hopefully spark conversation about the issue and how sexual violence can be prevented. As students at this institution, it is our responsibility to help protect the well being of our fellow Eagles from sexual violence, which requires us to be educated about sexual consent.
For Dr. Searcy’s HU 145 class (“American Pop-Culture: Calling for a Sexual Revolution?”), our group decided to create a poster campaign to address the common perception of sex being like a game or a conquest. We decided on this topic for one simple reason: as college students, we often encourage our f riends to “score.” The use of the word “score,” “player,” and other sports-related phrases suggest that sex is a game, which
can be dangerous for college students because many care very much about what others think of them. Pushing someone to have sex, in the same way one would push someone to score in a baseball game, can make it harder to choose not to have sex. Perceiving sex to be like a game can even create an environment in which sexual assault is more likely to happen, and sexual assault is a problem on almost every college campus. According to Crisis
Connection, an organization dedicated to helping victims of sexual assault, “every 21 hours there is another rape on an American college campus.” The National Sexual Violence Resource Center states, “More than 90% of sexual assault victims on college campuses do not report the assault.” The same study revealed, “One in five women and one in 16 men are sexually assaulted while in college.” We should all want to protect our fellow students and
ourselves. The poster that our group created will appear on campus during the last weeks of the current semester. The student body will find the posters in some bathrooms and common areas like hallways and outside classrooms. The poster conveys the message that sex is not a game. With this poster campaign, we hope to make people think twice before using sports lingo when talking about sex.

Campus Retired United States Air Force Chief of Chaplains Talks Religion in the Military April

Mike Shekari Staff Reporter In the United States military, one of the main building blocks of good order and discipline is uniformity. This is often accomplished by dictating how military personnel dress, wear their hair, and conduct themselves in public among other things. However, the military is still comprised of a wide variety of people with different backgrounds, including spiritual and religious ones. This is one of the few things the military cannot control in the lives of their personnel,
because of the protections of religious expression provided by the first amendment to the constitution. Since the military cannot regulate religion, the question is raised as to how the military provides for the religious needs of its members? To answer that question, retired Major General and Air Force Chief of Chaplains Charles Baldwin visited ERAU for the President’s Speaker Series. The general’s answer to that question was the United States military’s chaplain corps, which is comprised of clergy from all branches of faith. The job
of the chaplain corps is to ensure to spiritual well-being of military personnel and their families. One might wonder how such a large task can be met given the diversity of our military force. General Baldwin said that chaplains serve under the notion of “cooperation without compromise.” This means that just like other military members and citizens of our country, the beliefs and practices of chaplains are protected under the law and they cannot be forced to do anything that is contrary to their faith to accommodate anoth-
Germanwings Flight 9525: What We Know So Far Bryan Rallet Staff Reporter On March 24, a dramatic aircraft accident left 149 innocent people dead and one under very serious scrutiny. Andreas Lubitz was the copilot of Germanwings flight 9525, from Barcelona-El Prat Airport in Spain to the Dusseldorf Airport in Germany. He is currently believed to have intentionally caused the crash that left the aircraft’s remains strewn along the side of a mountain in the French Alps, less than 100 miles from Nice. “The search for bodies is over, but the search for the victims’ personal belongings is continuing,” a spokesman for the local government authority in the Alpes-de-HauteProvence region told Reuters on April 4. The second black box was recovered and the BEA (Bureau d’Enquêtes et d’Analyses, France’s equivalent of the NTSB) revealed a horrifying detail: using
the autopilot, it was the copilot who had initiated the aircraft’s descent to an altitude of 100 feet, increasing the speed of the aircraft multiple times during the descent. Cockpit voice recorders confirmed that in the meanwhile, Lubitz had locked Patrick Sondenheimer out while the latter was on a bathroom break. Captain Sondenheimer was heard exclaiming: “Open the door, for God’s sake!” before attempting to break down the Kevlar-reinforced door with a fire ax. Investigators have emphasized that it seems he did everything he could to try to get back into the cockpit after he was locked out. Going back, investigators discovered that Andreas Lubitz had performed several internet searches the day before concerning the safety of cockpit doors as well as different suicide methods. This is after he was declared mentally unfit for flight and receiving medical leave
notes for severe depression, but he withheld those from the company. This raises the question of mental illness and the stigma associated with it, as well as the weight medical disqualification can have on a pilot’s mind. Indeed, Lubitz had confided to one of his doctors that he had been worried about his license. In response to these recent events, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has implemented new regulations requiring two authorized personnel at all times in the cockpit. A similar “Rule of Two” has been in place in the U.S. since 2002. This is not the first time that a crash has been attributed to crewmember suicide, as murder-suicide was the conclusion the NTSB reached for the Silk Air Flight 185 crash in 1997, and Egypt Air Flight 990 in 1999. More information to follow, as it becomes available.
er person. However, they must cooperate with others to find someone whom is able to help attend to the needs of a member and their family even when it conflicts with the chaplain’s own beliefs. General Baldwin recalled one such instance of this cooperation without compromise when he had to find a Jewish rabbi to perform the circumcision of a child born to a Jewish family on an installation in Europe where there were no rabbis in the area. To meet the need of that family the chaplain corps actually had a rabbi flown into the base to per-

form the ceremony. It is quite amazing to think the military invests such effort into ensuring the spiritual well-being of their personnel and families. Such support plays an integral role in keeping the moral of American forces high, so they can
stand ready to perform their duties to the best of their abilities. To learn more about religion in the military, watch a recording of this President’s Speaker Series event by searching ERAU President’s Speaker Series on YouTube.

Shemar Alexander Senior Reporter SpaceX launched their sixth cargo resupply service mission to the International Space Station. The Falcon 9 rocket shot through clear blue skies, topped with a Dragon spacecraft, shot through clear blue skies carrying more than 4,300 pounds of supplies and payload that is critical to support astronauts and aid in research and science experiments. SpaceX has made it possible again for America to deliver and return cargo, living plants, and animals to and from the orbiting laboratory. Science payloads being transported will help astronauts investigate ways to prevent microgravity-induced cell damage that astronauts suffer from during spaceflight. This could lead to new treatments for osteoporosis and muscle wasting conditions. One of the science payloads will help astronauts investigate vision changes that occur after long durations of space flight. That’s something to look forward to since we are advancing towards commercial space travel. After approximately five weeks, the Dragon spacecraft will return to Earth with over 3 thousand pounds of cargo and packaging, including supplies, hardware, resources, experiments, trash, and space station hardware. The Dragon is the only operational spacecraft capable of returning a significant amount of supplies back to Earth. The Falcon 9 rocket was outfitted with landing struts in order for SpaceX to continue their retrieval attempts. The rocket was intended to land on a barge in the Atlantic Ocean to be re-used for later missions. The rocket slowed as it descended towards the barge. It seemed promising as the rocket touched down on the barge and tried to stabilize itself, yet the rocket fell over and exploded on impact. However, SpaceX is improving their retrieval attempts and are hoping to accomplish their goal soon.
