Parents discuss changes they had to make this semester BY FERNANDA CAMACHO HAUSER Correspondent Fernanda.CamachoHauser@thegeorgeanne.com
STATESBORO — A lot of the focus of the back to campus experience has been on those who are college students stepping out into the world on their own for the first time, but what do those who have children to go back to when they leave campus have to say about their experiences returning to campus this semester? The George-Anne sent out a questionnaire asking, “Are you a parent who is also a returning member of campus?” and these are the responses that the 44 individuals plus three interviewees yielded. The breakdown of the 44 questionnaire responses was 43.2% Staff, 31.8% Faculty, and 25% Students. Out of the responses, 86.4% answered that their children’s normal accommodations while they are on campus has had to change. Professor Jennifer Sweeney Tookes explained how she and another professor have set up a schedule around their teaching schedules. This way, one of them is able to work and help teach their own and the other’s children
on alternating days. Here are some of the other changes people had to make: “I have chosen all online classes this semester,” Jennifer Johnson, a student, said. “The daycare where my children go has increased their prices recently, I have had to budget that and get a part-time job so that I can continue to go to school and pay for their care,” a student said. “I am presently teleworking part-time,” a staff member said. “I decided to homeschool, and delay nursing school for a semester,” a student said. “We chose the virtual school option for our child,” a staff member said. “My husband and I take shifts each week teaching our child (who can’t read yet or manage a computer alone), all while we still both work full time. We do not have weekends anymore.” “My husband and I have to work on alternate days so that one of us is at home with my 2 kids,” a faculty member said. “I have had to pay for additional child care or I would have to stay home; in the beginning I was both working from home as well as teaching my oldest son,”
a staff member said. “My child is doing virtual pre-K because she has asthma, so I am teaching mostly from home, with a few hours on campus and my husband doing flex-time, which means that he has to go to work at 7am instead of 8am,” a faculty member said. “The only time I have to prepare my courses is during her nap, which has been very stressful. I find myself working nights and week-ends so my students do not suffer from my need to keep my child home.” The remaining 13.6% said that their everyday accommodations such as school and childcare hadn’t changed. Here’s what some of them had to say: “Not much. I pick him up after school, instead of having him go to extra curricular activities,” Daniel Chapman, an associate professor, said. “None, my wife is a stayat-home mother,” Thomas Buckhoff, an associate professor, said. “Wear masks anytime you are travelling outside. Shower as soon as you get home. Use hand sanitizer before you eat out,” a student said. When asked what they would change, if given the
opportunity, about their current situation given the ongoing pandemic: “Ideally, I would be able to work from home and take care of my kids without having to put them at greater risk,” Christopher Brown, an associate professor, said. “However, above all, I consider myself very lucky to be gainfully employed through these times.” “Not much we can do – we have been extremely careful since the pandemic started – staying at home, away from others, not going out at all except for work,” Steve Masterman-Smith, a staff member, said. “Besides getting rid of COVID, somehow make it safe for the kids to go back to f2f [face to face] course format,” a staff member said. “My child has recently been diagnosed with ADHD & ADD. Courses online have made it near impossible for her to stay focused.” “Being able to work from home so that she could not be completely alone most of the day and get help with her schoolwork as needed,” a staff member said.

Where do we stand a little over 22 hours since the first polls closed?
Voting in the Senate runoff election BY ABBY FULLER
BY ANDY COLE Editor-In-Chief
Andy.Cole@thegeorgeanne.com
In what is being called the most consequential election of our lifetimes, the result is still uncertain. As of 4:45 p.m. EST on November 4, the Associated Press is reporting that Georgia, with its 16 electoral votes, North Carolina, with its 15 electoral votes, Pennsylvania, with its 20 electoral votes, Michigan, with its 16 electoral votes, Nevada, with its six electoral votes, and Alaska, with its three electoral votes, are too early to call. At that same time, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Alaska lean for President Donald Trump (R) while Nevada and Michigan lean for former Vice President Joe Biden (D). Mr. Trump has 214 electoral votes while Biden is leading with 248.
At the moment, President Trump needs to win out while Biden must maintain his lead to win
Now, let’s explore what has to happen for either candidate for win. For a Trump win… …the President has to win every remaining state, excluding Michigan. That would put Mr. Trump at 271 electoral votes. If Mr. Trump wins Michigan, it is an outright win; pending any recount changes. For a Biden win… …the former Vice President has to win Nevada and Michigan. That would put Biden at 270 electoral votes. Let’s debunk some false news…
No, Wisconsin did not have 100,000 more voters than were registered vote during this election. According to the fact checking site Snopes, the Twitter user pushing the claim was comparing 2018’s registered voter total to 2020’s total vote count. Yes, Biden did break former President Barack Obama’s popular vote total from 2008. Mr. Obama received 69,498,518 votes in 2008. In 2020, Biden has, so far, received over 70 million, according to Snopes. This is an active story. The George-Anne will continue to monitor this situation and update the results and analysis.

How Misinformation May Affect Gen Z’s Vote in the Upcoming Election BY SHAKAILAH HEARD Correspondent
Shakailah.Heard@thegeorgeanne.com
Gen Z is the generation that is known for consuming media, and a lot of them will be voting for the first time in the upcoming election. The younger generations are increasingly using their voice and social media platforms to talk about the importance of voting. For many of Gen Z, this will be the first time that they have the opportunity to vote in the presidential election. “It’s just a lot of pressure with this election, it feels like we’re carrying the weight of the
world on us like we have to do this or else we’re going to have to go through this for another four years,” said Margaret Kochetta said, a 20-year-old junior psychology student. The upcoming election will be Kochetta’s first time voting and she says she sees about 5 to 7 posts everyday regarding politics and the election. It is common to see misinformation and fake news in the mix of real information throughout social media platforms. It is especially common with anything politics related. Jennifer Kowalewski is
an Associate Professor in Journalism at Georgia Southern University and has 10 years of experience in journalism. Kowalewski also have her bachelors in political science and journalism, her masters in mass communication and a PhD and mass communication with an area of expertise in public opinion information and politics. “Facebook and Twitter will tag and misinformation on you know their sites,and I think TikTok needs to take that route too because there is a lot of misinformation on TikTok,” Kowalewski said. TikTok is owned by Chinese tech giant ByteDance and recently the Trump administration was trying to get TikTok to sever its ties to ByteDance, but President Trump has given tentative approval to a deal that will keep TikTok available to users, according to NPR. A lot of Gen Z uses TikTok on a daily basis. Kochetta said she uses TikTok and believes Gen Z will be a game changer in this election. Kowalewski said there has always been misinformation advertisements like in a pamphlet for example, but now because of social media the information goes out much more quickly.
Some 55% of adult social media users say they feel “worn out” by how many political posts and discussions they see on social media, according to the Pew Research Center. “It’s a lot of information overload like everyday we’re getting all of this news like crazy things, really horrible things and really good things, it’s just a lot,” Kochetta said. With so much misinformation on social media, if the person does not fact check every story, tweet or post they see, it is easy to share fake news regarding any political party or news in general. “I don’t believe democrats are evil and I don’t believe republicans are evil, but I think you’ve got these extreme fringe groups that are putting a lot of misinformation in that’s hurting our democracy overall because people will read this information and believe it without double checking,” explained Kowalewski . She also said social media defiantly has a political impact and said it is going to take issues that are important to them to be more involved with politics. “I’m hoping with the amount of people going to the polls, we are seeing more younger people going to the polls,” Kowalewski said.

Counseling Center to Host Election Support Space BY OLIVIA CRAFT
Enterprise Managing Editor Olivia.Craft@thegeorgeanne.com
STATESBORO — Georgia Southern’s counseling center is hosting an Election Support Space in the days following the 2020 election. Elections are approaching and, for some, anxiety is beginning to rise. For many students, this is the first big election that they have been able to participate in. The counseling center is
working to help relieve these stresses by holding a series of Zoom meetings for students to voice their concerns and discuss how their mental health has been affected by the 2020 presidential election. There is no registration required to attend. Attendees must use their Georgia Southern emails to join the call. The calls will be held on Nov 5 from 5 to 7 p.m. The links are accessible through the Counseling Center’s website.

Who are Some Georgia Southern Students Voting For?
BY EDEN HODGES
Election 2020 Correspondent Eden.Hodges@thegeorgeanne.com
The George-Anne asked students which presidential candidate has their vote in next week’s election and why.
BIDEN Jake Maine – Biden – “I don’t really care for either of our options or even the two-party system in general, but I feel like his ideas align more with my own. As a future educator I like his education policies because they advocate for less-strict testing policies and really seek to help teachers and I like his eco-friendly policies that seek to not kill the planet.” Ashanti Robinson – Biden – “It’s not really about politics at this point. It’s a basic human rights issue. With all the things Trump has done and he’s racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, sexist and all that. Biden talks
in the debates that it’s not an issue of right or left, but it’s about us all coming together and I think that’s what his goal is so I think he’s really going to unite people and Trump has really managed to divide us over the last four years.” Mya Bailey – Biden – “I like that he is pro-choice and not pro-life. Either is fine with me but I’m pro-choice just because I believe that the decision on an unborn fetus should be between the two people that decide to lay down and create it – not the government trying to control women’s bodies when there’s no other law that does anything like that.”
Elias Legere – Biden – “I’m an economics major and watching Trump parade around about stock market stuff while there are people facing eviction it’s really insulting to see because things aren’t recovered like a lot of people are still unemployed and if they aren’t they’re not getting enough vwwork… 80% of stocks are owned by rich people so most people don’t feel actual gains when the stock market goes up. And the unemployment expansion that ran out in July didn’t get renewed and Trump said he’s not negotiating any more so why should I be prioritizing Trump for the economy when he’s only prioritizing rich people?”
TRUMP Daniel Barrs – Trump – “A lot of the things he does could be defined as racist, but I don’t really find anything he says as racist… If Joe Biden gets elected then he won’t be the president. It’ll be people controlling him like Kamala Harris or Nancy Pelosi and I don’t support their views. I support Donald Trump from an economic standpoint. When he got elected I actually got a raise.” Page designed by Jaelynn Gillis
Brady Langworthy – Trump – “I like where the country has gone in the last four years – obviously COVID put a wrench in that, but overall I think we’re headed down the right track. Unemployment was down. I’m big into finance, big in the stock market, stocks were doing fantastic at the time.”
‘Historic’ and ‘Chaotic’ Students on both sides of the aisle discuss their election thoughts so far BY ANDY COLE Editor-in-Chief Andy.Cole@thegeorgeanne.com
Editor’s Note: Tonight, we could’ve just as easily done a subpar job of reporting the results, providing analysis and, of course, commentary from both sides. Instead, we chose another route. This evening, The GeorgeAnne spoke to three Georgia Southern students on where they thought the election would go, where they feel it is now and how they see this election concluding. One thing students from both parties agreed one: this election, as it stands now, is fair; however, our political system is broken. “I’m not a fan of really any poltiician,” said Taylor Gay, sophomore journalism major, Wednesday night. “It’s nearly impossible to have a non-corrupt human get to the [presidency]… the system is so broken.” Gay voted for former Vice President Joe Biden. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders was her first choice and got her votes in the democratic primary. Joey Kass, sophomore mechanical engineering major, voted for President Donald Trump. “I think on both sides there’s distrust and deceit. I think that’s just politics right now,” said Kass. “I think there’s always been distrust and I don’t think the polling helped.” As of 8:45 p.m. EST on
November 4, according to the Associated Press, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Alaska are still too close to call. Mr. Trump has to win all of those states to win. Biden, on the other hand, can reach 270 electoral votes with Nevada’s six. Both students tell us the results surprised them. “I knew it was going to be close, but, honestly, I was not expecting it to be as close as it is,” said Gay. “I originally thought that Trump was gonna win. There are some states, looking at it now, have seemed to have flipped,” said Kass. “I don’t think it’s looking too good for now, but we’ll see when it’s over. “There’s so much polarization and so much hate between who see things differently and so many arguments and call outs and all of this,” said Gay. “The whole thing is just a very big mess.” “If Trump wins, it’s fair. If Trump loses, it’s fair. I think it’s very—I’m accepting whatever it is,” said Kass. When asked what one word they’d use to describe the election year, they said it was, “Historic,” and “Chaotic,” from Kass and Gay, respectively. It takes 270 electoral votes to win the U.S. presidency. At the moment, Biden is winning with 264 electoral votes while Trump is trailing at 214.

Business students take first prize at national competition

I was pushed to think beyond what I learned in the classroom and apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills to be able to solve the challenge.” Ana Ortiz-Contreras

BY ANDY COLE
Editor-in-Chief Andy.Cole@thegeorgeanne.com
STATESBORO — Three Parker College of Business logistics students won the Intermodal Association of North America’s (IANA) National Academic Challenge, but this isn’t the first time. Alecia Breen, Ana OrtizContreras and David Hudgins won with their real-world presentation on fleet allocation and sizing decisions for a ground shipping company at 12 large marine locations around the country.
“The world is a competitive place, and our supply chain management program continues to compete with and win against some of the best programs in the country,” Allen Amason, Ph.D., dean of the Parker College of Business, said in a Monday press release. Georgia Southern logistics students have won four of the last five IANA-sponsored competitions, but this was the first for OrtizContreras. “I was pushed to think beyond what I learned in the classroom and
apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills to be able to solve the challenge,” OrtizContreras said in the release. “Whenever we weren’t in class or doing homework, we were working on the case.” “This is workforce development at its finest,” said Marc Scott, Ph.D., assistant professor of logistics and supply chain management and faculty advisor for the team in the Monday release. “IANA is having a significant impact on our students and program, and we are very thankful.”
