Celebrating Women’s History Month

BY MORGAN CARR

The George-Anne Creative staff

Every year, Women’s History Month is celebrated by remembering female pioneers throughout time, though it seems that often only a few women get the spotlight. Amelia Earhart, Susan B. Anthony and Marie Curie are names we have grown accustomed to seeing each March. This year the George-Anne Media Group’s Diversity Coverage Board took on the task to showcase some women throughout history who

may not be as easily recognized. We took a look into the lives and legacies of Bessie Coleman, the first Black and Native American woman pilot, Rosalind Franklin. the woman whose work was crucial for the discovery of the doublehelix structure of DNA, and Mary Ware Dennett, a fierce advocate for sex education and access to contraception. Some historic women we showcased are still going strong today, including Miss Major GriffinGracy, a transgender woman advocating for her community,

Madonna Thunder Hawk, a woman present at every historic event for Native American rights since the 1969 occupation of Alcatraz, and Kizzmekia Corbett, a lead scientist in the development of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. As March wraps up, and another Women’s History Month comes to a close, we should recognize women who are making important contributions to history every day. Women in healthcare are ensuring the safety and health of their patients and the public.

Women in education provide knowledge and opportunities for growth to their students. Female musicians, artists and performers bring light, joy,and movement into the world. Activists, athletes, scientists, mothers and leaders all have their impact on this world we live in. Not everyone will be showcased or put on a pedestal, but every woman makes a difference in the world and should be recognized and celebrated. Happy Women’s History Month!

Wishing on a business BY DAVIS COBB

Correspondent Davis.Cobb@thegeorgeanne.com

A developed town never stays the same for long, and as Statesboro and Georgia Southern make plans to continue progressing, the students, faculty and staff of GS yearn for different grocery stores and eateries. In a survey conducted by the GeorgeAnne, we asked people of GS what businesses were on their Statesboro wishlist, as well as where they’d like to see them set up shop. Most answers were interested in either more or better grocers, the top runners being Kroger, Target or Sam’s Club, or

popular and widespread chain restaurants like Chipotle and Five Guy’s. Some people answered with a more generic interest, citing a desire for a type of store or restaurant. A few students, faculty and staff sought to bring a little bit of their home or a special place to town, citing lesser-known places that they’d love to see in Statesboro, like Susie’s Best Wings or Little Italy Neighborhood Restaurant. Interestingly, when asked about where they’d want these businesses to open, the general consensus was off campus, aside from places that could easily fit into somewhere like Russell Union. Instead, the interest was in placing them around Statesboro where they might better fit,

such as in the mall, on Fair Road or in downtown Statesboro to liven it up. Several answers were more ambiguous, though, simply asking for the desired business to be somewhere in Statesboro, while others simply hoped these new places would fill up the open spaces of abandoned buildings around town. Statesboro has begun to see development with some of these areas; construction has begun at the previously empty K-Mart lot, with plans to renovate it into a Planet Fitness. Work also still moves on along Old Register Road as construction of the new Publix is also underway. Perhaps some of these desired businesses will follow one day as well. Until then, it’s always nice to hope.

Spring 2021 commencement reminders

Georgia Southern education program receives master ranking BY DAVIS COBB

Correspondent Davis.Cobb@thegeorgeanne.com

Georgia Southern University’s 36 hybrid program M. Ed. in Higher Education Administration has just been ranked No. 2 in the country by educational organization BestValueSchools.org The site focuses on examining online educational opportunities and resources for upcoming students, helping them to find the best school for their interests. The ranking of GS’ master’s program was decided by an analysis of several factors, including yearly tuition rates, faculty experience, student resources, total enrollment and graduation rates. “To be ranked as No. 2 on this list of excellent schools from around the country is an honor,” Higher Education Administration Program Director Daniel Calhoun

said. “More importantly, being recognized as a best value institution is important when considering graduate programs and student loans. Knowing that a quality program exists at a reasonable cost could be a deciding factor for potential students who may be facing economic challenges, and our dedicated faculty are ready to serve them should they make that decision.” GS’ M. Ed. in Higher Education Administration is a 36 credit-hour hybrid program that includes coursework and firsthand experience in the higher education setting, and offers both online and in-person classes to accommodate students of any need. The program is also entirely flexible, allowing for completion on either a parttime or full-time basis. Admission to the program is accepted year-round

Earlier today the office of the registrar sent out a reminder email with information and instructions about the upcoming spring 2021 commencement. Among these emails are the instructions to double-check the address that your diploma will be sent to six to eight weeks after the end of the semester. The email also reminds those graduating to check out any holds that might prevent them from

graduating as expected such as parking, financial aid or library hold. As well as making sure they pay the $35 graduation fee through their WINGS account. The newest information includes the instructions on how and where to order our caps and gowns. In order to avoid the $25 late fee the email recommends students send in measurements before the April 12 deadline. The general information and commencement dates remain the same as when they were announced in early February.

Georgia Southern University students have the option to participate in the virtual graduation ceremonies. They can also join the fall 2020 commencement exercises or participate in a rescheduled inperson ceremony.”

A refresher on campus-carry laws as gun sales skyrocket across the US BY ALEJANDRO DELAFUENTE

Correspondent Alejandro.Delafuente@thegeorgeanne.com

Georgia’s state legislature has required all campuses to allow concealed carry since 2017, but recently, gun sales have skyrocketed since the pandemic began last year. There are exceptions to the laws, however, on what buildings a gun is allowed to be carried, what types of guns are allowed and how visible the gun is. The legislation prohibits carrying a gun into any buildings or facilities where colleges hold sporting events, the only exception being in recreational buildings and tailgating areas. The law also prohibits guns in student housing owned by the university and in classes where dual-enrollment students or minors are enrolled which can be checked on MyGS. Additionally, firearms are prohibited in common areas where faculty,

Page designed by Madison Terry

staff or administrators are concerned and in any rooms where the university conducts disciplinary proceedings. The second category or limitation inscribed into the law is the type of gun allowed on campus. Handguns are the only guns permitted on campus, and any individual carrying a rifle such as an AR-15 will have violated the law. The Firearms Owners’ Protection Act, in 1986, banned all automatic guns making only semi-automatic guns legal on campus. Lastly, the final condition for carrying a gun on campus is visibility. All individuals must conceal their guns on campus so that it is completely unnoticeable. Whether this means concealing the gun in a backpack or anywhere on their person is at the discretion of the gun’s wielder so long as no attention is drawn to the firearm. The law does not permit any university to restrict handguns on campus, but anyone violating the regulations is subject to a misdemeanor.

Sustainability program introduces campus thrift store BY FERNANDA CAMACHO HAUSER Correspondent Fernanda.CamachoHauser@thegeorgeanne.com

The Statesboro campus’ first ever thrift store is accepting donations in various locations throughout campus until Friday and offering store credit that students can use to purchase clothes in the thrift store when it opens next Wednesday. The campus thrift store

is a result of a team effort between the student organization, Fashion Menagerie, and the Sustainability Programs in order to fight back against fast fashion. “This thrift store can help our campus prevent that increase of waste and give students a sustainable way to donate and shop that can discourage fast fashion production,” said Geneisa Ragin, president of Fashion

Menagerie. According to a GS Newsroom release, those who donate clothes, hygiene products, nonperishable food items and cleaning supplies for the Eagle Essentials Food Pantry will receive shopping credits to use in the campus thrift store. The store will be open from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Russell Union Rotunda from March 31, to April 1.

New library hours a ‘hindrance’: student Georgia Southern’s library currently operating on 68% of its original hours.

BY DAVIS COBB

Correspondent Davis.Cobb@thegeorgeanne.com

Georgia Southern’s Zach S. Henderson Library made cuts to its hours following the shutdown for COVID-19 last spring, leaving some night-owl students 32% less hours to study this spring. After closing down last March alongside the university shut down in the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, the library reopened two weeks later strictly on a “by appointment” basis, which was maintained all through spring and summer of 2020. At the start of the fall 2020 semester, a sense of normal hours returned but with a 48% cut to its original hours, and on Saturdays, the library was completely closed. The spring semester of 2021 brought some hours back to the library, with the library being open 114.5 hours out of their original 168. The change in hours has impacted some students working in a mostly online environment during the pandemic. “I do feel like it is a hindrance, as far as people, especially with us juniors and

seniors being older, a lot of us work, so it’d be great if we could come to the library when we get off work; the library’s just been a great source of information, just like a getaway from being at home or in a dorm,” Kyree Safford, a senior, said. “Now that we can’t do that, it’s a little bit harder, and now we’re doing online classes, so it’s kinda harder to focus.” In addition to abiding by social distancing regulations and attempting to limit the spread of COVID-19, Access Services Department Head Jessica Garner stated that the change in hours was due to maintaining efficiency with student attendance. “We looked at our statistics and looked at the hours that were most utilized by students, and made the best choice of opening the building based on the usage of when students were using the building,” Garner said. To provide students with ample time to prepare for their exams, the library plans to extend their current hours the week before and the week during final exams. Starting the Sunday before final exam week, the library will be open 24-7 from Sunday to Thursday each week.

I do feel like it is a hindrance... especially with us juniors and seniors ... a lot of us work, so it’d be great if we could come to the library when we get off work; the library’s just been a great source of information, just like a getaway from being at home or in a dorm.” Kyree Safford Senior

Erin Walker sophomore Mechanical Engineering How does being one of the women in your classrooms affect your work ethic?

It doesn’t affect my work ethic. I feel like it makes me better because it’s like ‘I’m really doing this’ and people are not doing what I’m doing, and it kind of motivates me.”

Bubbling tensions bright and early on Saturday March 6 in the morning the Georgia Southern Military Science building hosted the “Securing Statesboro: Keeping our city safe” public forum. Mayor McCollar gave the opening remarks to the forum with the message that the purpose of these meetings and what results from them is to find solutions that do right

by the community instead of those who are looking to profit from any changes made. This theme set the tone and stage for the whole forum as each question came up and audience members engaged with the materials. The forum consisted of presentations from guest panelists from two of the area’s police departments as well as by Kim Billings from Safe Haven and Lakeidra Lee of the Teal House. The panelists’ presentations were followed up by a question

and answer session moderated by Stacy Smallwood of the One Boro Commision with questions provided by the audience and answers by the panelists and Jonathan McCollar, mayor of Statesboro. Among the topics discussed included the property and violent crime statistics of the three police departments in the area, the resources available for victims of crimes, the link between lack of access to resources and rise in crime over time, what is being done to bring back the those

‘ Within 50 miles’ : A history of the first Black athletes at Georgia Southern a part of the team, he noticed a handful of regular fans had stopped coming to the games. After growing up in northern Indiana and playing in the NBA, Radovich recalled life being integrated as long as he could remember. So, when he heard why some people were not coming to games, he was shocked. “There were some fans who had been coming to the games for a number of years and then they stopped coming,” said Radovich. “I asked some of them why they stopped coming to the ball games. Some of the people said that it wasn’t the ball players, but they didn’t want to come and be in the stands with Black people.”

A lasting legacy MARC GIGNAC/GS ATHLETICS

GS Men’s basketball team ‘69-’70 BY DJ CADDEN

Sports Correspondent DJ.Cadden@thegeorgeanne.com

After establishing a men’s basketball team in 1926, Georgia Southern had quite a bit of success. From 1926 to 1967, the Eagles had a winning percentage above 65% in addition to a NAIA national runner-up finish in 1966. But during those 36 seasons, not a single Black player suited up for the Eagles. However, in 1967, a 29-year old coach by the name of Frank Radovich decided it was time for a change in Statesboro. Zach S. Henderson, Ph.D served as president of Georgia Teachers College from 1948 to 1968. In 1965, John Bradley became the first Black student at the university. While Bradley had already completed his bachelor’s degree at Texas Southern University, he needed a handful of classes in order to teach within the state of Georgia. Henderson personally assisted in Bradley’s registration process and eventually oversaw the integration of the university. “We asked Dr. Henderson

if we could recruit Black ball players,” Radovich said. “He said that we could recruit, but it had to be within 50 miles of Statesboro.” This restriction ruled out metropolitan areas such as Augusta and Savannah, but Radovich planned to take full advantage of this new opportunity. Within the first year the team was allowed to recruit Black athletes, Radovich had landed three: Eugene Brown, Roger Moore and Marvin Stevens. Moore and Brown attended Beech High School, while Stevens was from Springfield.

‘ They didn’ t want to come and be in the stands with Black people’ While all three players had some sort of instant impact within the program, Moore shined above the rest. The 6-foot-7 center averaged over 14 points and 16 rebounds as a freshman, en route to over 1,200 career points and more than 1,000 rebounds, which is the unofficial record for any GS player, although this record is not recognized by the NCAA.

“We played in the old Hanner Fieldhouse and it’s capacity was 2,600,” recalled teammate Phillip Sisk. “The stands would be full at 6:00 when the freshman team would start playing. It would be a packed house, because people wanted to see Roger play.” Unfortunately, academic issues forced Moore to transfer to Columbus College, now Columbus State University, to complete his senior year of college. Moore would eventually be drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in the 12th round of the 1971 NBA Draft before playing a handful of professional seasons in the Caribbean. Not much can be found about Marvin Stevens on the court. After one season with the Eagles, Stevens was forced to transfer due to academic struggles. Out of the three players, Eugene Brown was the only one to graduate from GS. However, just like Stevens, there are not many stats available from Brown’s playing days. In his final two seasons with the Eagles, Brown was a consistent starter. While Radovich does not recall any resentment from fans about Black players being

Sisk, a freshman from the same class as the three Black players, may have been the only person on social media to post about Roger Moore for Black History Month. He praised Moore’s basketball ability in a FaceBook post. “The athletics department acts like basketball didn’t exist in Statesboro before 1971,” said Sisk. “The media guides go all the way back to 1971-72, which is when our freshman class all finished.” While virtually unheard of among modern-day students and fans, the impact that Brown, Moore and Stevens had on GS is still evident today. Among the 15 sponsored sports at Georgia Southern, there are a total of 19 Black coaches and support staff members. In addition, over 25% of the student population is made up of Black students and approximately 23% of faculty members are Black. This legacy is carried on most notably by Anita Howard, the first Black head coach in GS women’s basketball history. “It’s truly an honor and a blessing for me to be a woman in my position, and a woman of color at that,” said Howard. “In a male-dominated profession, I don’t take this position for granted. I want to be a pioneer.”

Eagles rifle team finishes their season strong

GS rifle team four points shy of taking championship BY DJ CADDEN

Sports Correspondent DJ.Cadden@thegeorgeanne.com

After an up-and-down season, the GS rifle team finished their 2020-21 campaign in convincing fashion. GS finished the regular season at 9-6, which left just the Southern Conference Championships on the schedule. After a valiant effort, the Eagles came up just four points short of the University of North Georgia, who claimed the overall championship.

However, the Eagles did take home the smallbore championship within the conference. Brianne Staton accumulated a career high 575 points in the smallbore competition, which led the Eagles. Ashley Judson shot a 571, Bella Gomez shot a 567, Kinsley Hannon shot a 565 and Amelia Pierce shot a 534. The Eagles accumulated 2, 278 smallbore points as a team. The team is made up of six freshmen and four sophomores, so there should be a lot more success in the future as we see them return next season.

Page designed by Lauryn Terry

After a dominant series sweep of UAB, the GS baseball team was flying high as they opened conference play with a road trip to take on the Troy Trojans. The Eagles came back down to reality rather quickly as the Trojans defended their home stadium and took home a series win. The series began on Friday as the Eagles took home an 8-1 victory. Four Eagles put together multiple hit performances in an all-around dominant game. On Saturday, the Eagle

offense once again had a strong eight-run performance, but also left nine runners on base. Noah Ledford headlined the Eagle offensive performance with two home runs. The defense struggled from the very beginning, which allowed the Trojans to push six runs across the plate in the first inning. Troy scored a total of 11 runs and this proved to be too much for the Eagles to overcome. In Sunday’s rubber match, the Eagle offense never found its footing. Ledford blasted his third home run of the series, No. 8 of the season, but the Eagles only found four runs. Once again, runners left on base proved to be the Eagles’

kryptonite as they once again left nine runners stranded. The Trojan offense was once again firing on all cylinders, scoring a total of eight runs. To make things even worse for the Eagles, the Trojans bombed four home runs during Sunday’s game. For the 2021 season, GS currently sits at 10-8 and 1-2 in the Sunbelt Conference. Friday’s win pushed the Eagle’s win streak to four games, but this streak was quickly dashed. The Eagles are back in action on Tuesday night as the team travels to North Augusta, S.C. to take on the Clemson Tigers. First pitch is currently set for 6:30 p.m.
