Reflector WGGSU? Was your favorite Tv Tips show on Nickelodean Skin Care:

It’s a good idea to start adding a few hours a week to do mask and skin care routines. If you so this on the weekend, you’re able to take more time than you would be able to during the week.

Hair Mask:

Allison Noonan and Tinkerbell

Allison is a Freshman English major, and Tinkerbell “enjoys car rides, wals and food”. Want you and your pet to be featured next time? Post your photo on Twitter with the name of your pet and a little bit about you (name, year, and major). Make sure you include #petsboro and tag @GA_MediaGroup

National Organization of Women We are dedicated to solving 6 core issues: reproductive rights, economic justice, enfding violence against women, racial justice, LGBTQ+ rights, and constitutional equality. We would like to get more women involved in extracurriculars. We want younger women to take advantage of different opportunities. Contact them at Aa06455@ georgiasouthern.edu

Rose Bishop- Freshman

“Probably what I would say is just like, putting my headphones in and either listening to like music or a podcast and just put my mind somewhere else, and just have that moment to just like, chill and just, I don’t have to worry about the assignment or whatever because I’m just in my own head.”

SUN 88˚/70˚

Using a hair mask once a week can help to add a shine to your hair. You can find many recipes for an all natural mask on Pinterest. Making the mask yourself can sometimes be healthier and less expensive

Oils:

When you get out of the shower, try using an oil (after shaving). Not only will this help to moisturize your skin, but it also smells good. I recommend using Roseship oil.

or Disney? Which one was it?

Darius Shockley (left)- Avatar the Last Airbender and Kora even though some people say it sucks. Christopher Banard (right)- I really liked Kim Possible when i was tiny.

Physical Activity:

Any physical activity can help to leave you feeling happier, and it can also wake you up in the morning. It does not even have to be a mile run in the morning–yoga can give you the same effect.

Nutrition:

Proper nutrition can help contain breakouts as well as help increase your energy. Drinking plenty of water daily can help clear up your skin and prevent further breakouts.

Candice Childs- I would definately have to say Kim Possible it was such a great show absolutely

Finishing Thoughts:

The results have came in its half and half. Some students like Disney, some like Nickelodean.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR MATTHEW ENFINGER Matthew is a senior writing and linguistics major from Hephzibah, Ga.

Due to Hurricane Florence, The George-Anne will be publishing our weekly issue one day early. Papers will be out Wednesday instead of Thursday. Although Georgia Southern University has not made any announcements confirming that the campus will be closed later this week, we wanted to ensure that our community receives the weekly news it deserves despite the outcome

of the approaching category 4 hurricane. This week's paper will contain important news from around campus as well as pre-game coverage of GS' big game against Clemson. Currently, there has not been any announcement that the game will be cancelled. If an announcement is made, The George-Anne will keep you updated on our social media accounts as well as on

thegeorgeanne.com. We here at The George-Anne are hoping for a safe outcome of this storm for our neighbors to the north. While Florence is not expected to make a direct impact to Statesboro, tropicalstorm-force winds could still prove a threat for the area. Be sure to stay safe and read up on the storm's movement in this early issue The GeorgeAnne.

Parents of student injured in Sigma Chi fall say she may never walk again BY MATTHEW ENFINGER AND BRENDAN WARD The George-Anne staff

The parents of a Georgia Southern University student who suffered major injuries after falling out of a second story window at the Sigma Chi house on Aug. 31, said she may never walk again. The Statesboro Police Department responded to a call of an injured female on Olympic Blvd. around 12:30 a.m., Madison Warren, SPD community information specialist, said. The student was later identified as sophomore Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority member Danielle “Elle” Kolb. Roberta and Richard Kolb, parents of Danielle, said via email that just after midnight Kolb was invited to visit Sigma Chi by member Gard Zeringue, a GS junior. “Due to causes yet to be determined, Elle fell from a

second-story window at the Sigma Chi fraternity house, suffering an L-2 burst fracture of her spine, rendering her unable to walk,” Kolb’s parents said via email. Kolb was life flighted to Memorial Hospital in Savannah where she underwent a nine-hour surgery to stabilize her spine and has been hospitalized since the incident, Kolb’s parents said via email. “She is facing a two-year rehabilitation program to sustain maximum recovery, but it is unclear if she will ever walk again,” Kolb’s parents said via email. Based off her injuries, it appears that Kolb fell out of the second story window of Sigma Chi’s house and landed feet first, Warren said. The Kolb family’s legal representative Julia Meritt of Cheely Law Group LLC said that Elle is “maintaning a

positive outlook.” “Elle is facing a two-year rehab program, planning on flying to DC this week to the National Rehab Hospital in Washington Hospital Center to continue physical and occupational therapy until she can return to her family in Maryland,” Merritt said. SPD has closed the case and the incident is not being investigated as a criminal matter, Warren said. Kolb’s parents said via email that Elle has retained Bob Cheeley of Cheeley Law Group to investigate how this incident happened and to consider possible legal action. Cheeley represented several GS nursing students and their families in the April 22, 2015 tractor trailer crash on I-16 and achieved settlements for three wrongful death cases totaling $45 million and one verdict of $15 million on behalf of Megan Richards,

The George-Anne reached out to both Kappa Kappa

Gamma and Sigma Chi, but have not received a response. There is currently a GoFundMe page to help cover the cost of Kolb’s surgeries, with a goal of $50,000. Emma Smith and Coy Kirkland contributed to this article.

Statesboro Police Department gets new K-9 unit BY TORI COLLINS The George-Anne staff

PHOTO COURTESY OF STATESBORO POLICE DEPARTMENT

Statesboro Police Department announced Sept. 5 that a 9-weekold K-9 will officially join the team in August of 2019.The bloodhound pup will be trained as the department’s first tracking dog. He will be trained to track missing children, wanted suspects and missing people from nursing homes.

The Statesboro Police Department announced on Sept. 5 that a 9-week-old K-9 will officially join the team in August 2019. “K-9 Rio is going to be a big brother, and it’s a boy,” Statesboro PD said in a Facebook post. The bloodhound pup will be trained as the department’s first tracking dog. He will be trained to track missing children, wanted suspects and missing

people from nursing homes. “A dedicated tracking dog is a specialist, and we are excited to bring this resource to our department,” Statesboro PD Chief Mike Broadhead said. According to the Facebook post, the pup is already showing great tracking ability. Michael Duncan, a local of the Statesboro community, bred the pup. He will train the pup for one year and then donate him to join the Statesboro PD team. “Mr. Duncan has a great tracking dog named Red and

he has had success with Red’s previous offspring,” Broadhead said. “He had the idea to donate a dog to us, and provide the dog’s initial year’s worth of training because he is a local guy and knew we lacked this ability.” The SPD are asking for community members to vote on a name for the new dog on their Facebook page. The final names are Archie, Biscuit, Sherlock and Smokey. Brendan Ward contributed to this article.

Georgia Southern community voices thoughts at presidential selection forums BY THE GEORGE-ANNE STAFF The Georgia Southern University community shared ideas on qualities the next university president should have during a series of listening sessions held on Monday. The sessions were hosted by the Presidential Search and Selection Committee that was announced on Aug. 22. Sessions were held throughout the day for faculty, staff, students and community members to voice their thoughts.

Faculty and staff

The faculty and staff listening sessions on Monday morning drew a small crowd with five professors and four staff members. Geography Professor Mark Welford said he wants a president that will be an advocate for the faculty and staff. “What I would like to see . . . someone who will support the faculty, will be a spokesman for the faculty, for the students, and for all staff, rather than being a mouthpiece for [the Board of Regents],” Welford said in the listening session. English Professor Richard Flynn said he wants a president

Students

The presidential search committee held a listening session for students for 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Monday. Students were invited to voice their concerns and express issues that they felt were most important to the campus, however, only one student attended. Henry Greys, senior history major from the Hinesville campus, was in attendance and he expressed his concerns regarding the financial aid process. “I was enrolled in classes, then I started getting emails saying that

understands and appreciates that symbiotic relationship,” Jenkins said. Phyllis Thompson, chamber of commerce president, attended the listening session to represent the Statesboro business community. “Our community has worked hard particularly in the past five or six years to make more attractive and useful particularly those corridors that are most connected between the university community and downtown,” Thompson said. “We are hoping that it will be someone who will understand our doing that is in part to make Georgia Southern a

more attractive choice for students who have a lot of choices.”

Moving forward

Representatives of the Presidential Search and Selection Committee conducted a similar listening session on the Armstrong campus on Tuesday and will hold a session at the Liberty campus on Wednesday. According to the presidential search timeline, the committee plans to post a position announcement early in September. If you were unable to attend the series of listening sessions, surveys on presidential qualities can be sent anonymously on the office of the president’s page on georgiasouthern.edu.

University Response In a series of university weather announcements on Monday, Jan Southern, strategic communications and marketing vice president said the university has not made any determinations related to university closures. “Although there is currently no mandatory evacuation order that would affect our campuses, we understand that this order in South Carolina may impact some of our students, faculty and staff,” Southern said in an email. “The University will work with professors to make appropriate accommodations for students living in the affected areas. Faculty and staff should work with their supervisors to make arrangements as needed.” The university encourages everyone to monitor weather resources and make preparations as necessary.

Crazy Rich Representation

PHOTO FROM MATTHEW HASHIGUCHI

Matthew Hashiguchi is an Assistant Professor of Multimedia Film and Production at Georgia Southern University. “There wasn’t an Asian person for me to look up to when I was younger. There wasn’t a celebrity, there wasn’t an athlete, there wasn’t a politician. There was no Asian person for me to look up to,” Hashiguchi said.

The George Anne Studio campus reporter Jessica Vue sat down last week with professor Matthew Hashiguchi to discuss Asian representation, which has been a trending topic since the premiere of the movie Crazy Rich Asians, as well as the movie All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and the upcoming live action of Mulan. Crazy Rich Asians is the first Hollywood movie with an all Asian cast since The Joy Luck Club, which premiered 25 years ago in 1993. MATTHEW: My name is Matthew Hashiguchi. I’m a documentary film maker and an assistant professor here at Georgia Southern University. JESSICA: Was there an Asian person you were able

to look up to when you were younger? MATTHEW: There wasn’t an Asian person for me to look up to when I was younger. There wasn’t a celebrity, there wasn’t an athlete, there wasn’t a politician. There was no Asian person for me to look up to. JESSICA: How do you think that affected you while you were growing up? MATTHEW: We develop a sense of self, and we develop an awareness of others based upon celebrities and athletes and politicians, so as an Asian person who can be a leading actor or who can hit the game-winning home run. That, that impacts your belief in what you can do. But it also impacts others, how other people perceive

you. So it just kinda impacts your sense of self and it limits what you think you can do. And I certainly think it had an impact on me. I was never… I guess I always saw myself as like, “You can’t be the winner” or something. “You can’t be the clean-up hitter on the baseball team, because you’re Asian.” So, it impacts how you view yourself and how you can proceed in this society. JESSICA: You can watch Good Luck Soup on matthewhashiguchi.com or pbs.com. You can follow Professor Hashiguchi @ matthewhash. And you can watch Crazy Rich Asians at any theatre. And you can watch All the Boys I’ve Loved Before on Netflix.com

With confidence and trust, Werts finding rhythm through two games in 2018 BY KAITLIN SELLS The George-Anne staff

Redshirt-sophomore quarterback Shai Werts has already started out his second season with the Eagles showing more confidence and more skill than last season. Last season for the Eagles was rough, there’s no question about that, and a lot of that pressure and heat fell on the first year quarterback. The freshman showed an obvious lack of confidence on the field by hesitating to complete plays, overthrowing passes on many occasions and fumbling when he decided to run the ball. While Werts got a lot of heat, people forgot one thing, he was only a freshman, it was his first time appearing on the field. He already had a lot of pressure on him to improve from the last 2016 losing season, not to mention he was under the questionable coaching of Tyson Summers. This season Werts has shown a whole new ball game.

He’s already appeared more confident in the two games he’s played compared to all of last season, taking control of the option and completing plays he only attempted to last year. “We made a bigger jump than we thought we would, from week one to week two,” Werts said. “It just all started with really locking in during the week, honing in on what we knew.” In the two games Werts has played so far this season, the quarterback has gained 260 rushing yards, tallied four rushing touchdowns, thrown 183 passing yards, and logged two passing touchdowns. His stats are already quite an improvement from his Shai Werts statistics from 2017 where Quarterback, GS Football Werts totaled 957 gained rushing yards, rushed for only three touchdowns, passed 929 total yards and threw for seven touchdowns. “I never really had any doubt I couldn’t throw the ball,” Werts said.

It’s all about being comfortable, when you’re comfortable you can make any throw.”

Raymand Johnson III excited to return to home state for clash with Clemson BY RYAN KOSTENSKY The George-Anne staff

Raymand Johnson III is one of the up-and-comers on the defensive side of the ball for the Eagles, starting at defensive end as a sophomore. Johnson recorded one tackle and recovered a fumble in GS’ 34-13 win over UMass on Saturday, and has been part of the defensive stronghold that has only given up 19 points so far this season. The Eagles face a tough task when the travel to South Carolina to play the No.2

ranked Clemson Tigers. Johnson hails from Sumter, South Carolina, so getting the opportunity to play in his home state is a special moment. “It’s just an unreal feeling growing up in South Carolina,” Johnson said. “Clemson and South Carolina, THE University of South Carolina is all you talk about, so now being in my collegiate era, I’m going up against them. I think it’s very special feeling to be back home playing.” Football has always been a part of Johnson’s life, he says, talking about how he’s been playing for as long as he can remember. “League or organized football,” Johnson said. “It’s probably been since about, I want to say nine, but if you’re not saying organized football, just about since I’ve been able to walk.” Johnson also went on to add that he played basketball growing u p , boasting that he was

a versatile player who played multiple positions. While college athletes don’t have much free time, they still find time to partake in hobbies, and Johnson is no different. The sophomore says music plays a huge part in his free time, adding that he plays the

drums and even taught himself to play the piano. College football is full of traditions nation wide, and GS is proud of their many

traditions that can be seen when game day rolls around Johnson talked about what these traditions mean to him. “It’s not even so much playing in the game,” Johnson said. “My favorite moments are when we’re taking bus rides, you know the traditions and everything, so the bus ride is probably my favorite part. You can really feel the brotherhood on the bus.” Once game day rolls around, everyone goes about preparation in their own way, getting hyped up and ready to take the field. Johnson has a unique way that he says helps him get ready. “I probably have an unorthodox way about going about game days because I’m not tensed up on game days,” Johnson said. “I’m very, you know, loose and happy. I wouldn’t say playful but, you know, I’m loose. About right after we get done with the bus rides, which is the bus ride around campus, and the Eagle Walk and everything is probably when I start tightening up and getting more serious about the game.”

Breakdown

Tigers enter game against Eagles having played two very different games

BY RYAN PYE

The George-Anne staff

Georgia Southern has looked good this season, and the Eagles have a 2-0 record to show for it, but week three in the young 2018 season brings up a new and bigger challenge, the Clemson Tigers. Clemson, who has appeared in the College Football Playoffs for three consecutive years, is ranked second in both the AP and Coaches Poll this week, by far the highest ranked opponent the Eagles have faced off against this year. In the two games they have played this year, the Tigers are 2-0, averaging 38 points per game and allowing 16 points per game to opposing offenses.

Furman 7 Clemson 48

In their opening game of the season, the Tigers did what they needed to do to crush an inferior opponent. The highly talented and praised Clemson defensive

front looked strong as expected, holding Furman to only 163 yards of total offense in the game and forcing two turnovers. Meanwhile the Tiger offensive attack drove the ball down field with ease, racking up 282 passing yards and 249 yards on the ground. Sophomore quarterback Kelly Bryant got the start for the Tigers, going 11-17 through the air for 132 yards and one score. But the highly recruited Freshman, Trevor Lawrence, saw plenty of playing time as well, and he made the most of it. Lawrence went 9-14 for 137 yards, racking up three touchdowns on the day. Clemson was supposed to dominate their opponent in week one, which they did, and they also showed the country that not only are their starters very talented, but they have guys on the bench who can play as well.

Tiger Town travel guide BY KAITLIN SELLS The George-Anne staff

The big weekend is here, Georgia Southern will be heading to Clemson, South Carolina to take on the Clemson Tigers Saturday. If you’re planning on making an appearance in Tiger Town, there are some other things you may want to check out while you’re up in Clemson.

Death Valley

The historical Memorial Stadium is a pretty sight, as well as the destination for the Eagles Saturday. The stadium was opened in 1942 and the Tigers hold a 303-102-7 record inside that stadium—with a 74 percent winning percentage. Death Valley also holds many traditions like Howard’s Rock and the well-known running down the hill. These traditions hold deep at Clemson, showing at games when you see the excitement of the fans and the players.

Restaurants

and game watching on game day. Another place to hit, especially if you’re on a budget, is Loose Change which also features American cuisine at a low charge. They feature appetizers like chicken fingers, fried pickles chips, jalapeño cheddar hushpuppies and zucchini fries.

Bars and Nightlife

Tiger Town Tavern is a student favorite, located at 368 College Ave. and featuring specials like two-dollar PBR Tall Boys every day and $3.25 mimosas on Sundays. They also serve classic bar foods like mac and cheese bites, pepper jack queso, soft pretzels and cheese sticks. Another place to check out is Backstreets Pub and Grill which provides 32-ounce and 60-ounce liquor pitchers along with an extensive beer list. With an indoor and outdoor setting, it makes it the perfect place to go before and after the game. Tiger Town in general is a great place to be with a great atmosphere. Even though the Eagles will be fighting for a win against Clemson, that’s no reason to not enjoy the city while you can.

Clemson 28 Texas A&M 26 The trip to College Station marked the first real test of the Tigers in 2018 and they were barely able to escape with a victory. The Clemson front five once again flexed their muscle to hold the Aggies to only 71 rushing yards, but Texas A&M quarterback Kellen Mond torched the Tigers’ secondary, throwing for 430 yards and three touchdowns. Both Clemson quarterbacks saw playing time yet again, but it was Bryant who received the majority of snaps, racking up 205 passing yards, 54 yards on the ground and two total touchdowns on the day. Bryant was also the teams’ leading rusher of the game. The unranked Aggies scored a touchdown to pull within two points with 46 seconds left, but failed to convert on the two point conversion, sealing the win for the Tigers. Though they left Texas with

a win, their contest against the Aggies undoubtedly showed some weaknesses for the number two Tigers.

Four things we already know about the third game of the season against Clemson BY MCCLAIN BAXLEY The George-Anne staff

In the most marquee game for the Eagles this season, Georgia Southern will travel to Clemson, South Carolina for a match up against the number two team in America. Here are four things we know about GS’ game in the Palmetto State:

Both teams are 2-0

It wasn’t that long ago that the Eagles began the season 2-0. In 2016, GS started the season 3-0 before cooling down to finish the season 5-7. The Eagles had two difficult non-conference road contests against Georgia Tech in Atlanta and an undefeated Western Michigan team in Kalamazoo. For Clemson, they’re even more familiar with opening a season 2-0. Since Dabo Swinney was named head coach in 2009, the Tigers have failed to start the season 3-0 just three times in 2009, 2010 and 2014.

GS is a 35 point underdog

It was expected that the Eagles would be underdogs this week, the question was how big of an underdog. GS was a 35 point underdog in the

season opener last year against Auburn and was able to cover by one point. The Eagles didn’t do too great against the spread last year with a 3-9 record. This year though, GS is 2-0 againast the spread, blowing away the spread against UMass. The Eagles were 1.5 point favorites against the Minutemen and ended up winning by 21. The Tigers are 1-1 ATS this year after only beating Texas A&M by two as an 11 point favorite.

These two teams have never played in football

Surprisingly, GS has only played a team in the ACC 11 times. They’re 0-2 against Florida State, 0-2 against Georgia Tech, 1-5 against Miami, 0-2 against North Carolina and 0-1 against North Carolina State. Not once though, has GS traveled to or hosted the Tigers. Saturday will be the Eagles second game against a ranked FBS opponent since their transition to FBS when they played Auburn 2017, but it will be the eighth time the Eagles have played a top 10 team in school history. GS is 0-7 against teams ranked in the top 10. Clemson is 10-0 against current Sun Belt teams.

GS has a better all-time win percentage than Clemson

Clemson has more FBS national championships, more NFL Draft picks and more consensus All-Americans than GS. But the Eagles have a 63.5 winning percentage compared to the Tigers’ 61. Sure, the majority of GS’ wins came from their time in Division 1-AA, but 381 wins is 381 wins. The Eagles were able to pick up win number 189 in Paulson Stadium Saturday and have won four out of their last five games. Clemson is 731-45945 all-time and have also won four of their last five games. Something is going to give.

Kickoff from Memorial Stadium is set for 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15.
