Pinkel held back tears as he spoke to family, friends, athletes and other community members about his career.

With tears in his eyes, the football coach tried to get the words out.

It took a few seconds. As Gary Pinkel stood on the stage erected in Mizzou Arena on Monday morning for his farewell press conference, he couldn’t help but choke up at the thought of leaving what matters most to him.

He’ll miss the coaching staff. He’ll miss Ann Hatcher, his secretary, who was one of his most reliable friends during the tough times. He’ll miss the game, obviously.

“Most importantly, the toughest thing about this,” Pinkel stuttered. He gazed down, trying to hide the glossy eyes of a football coach known for being stern rather than emotional.

“Sorry,” the coach collected himself. “It’s my players. At Toledo and here at Mizzou. I’m going to miss that. I’m going to miss them.

I’m going to miss that interaction and being around them, scolding them when I have to scold them and hugging them everyday. That’s what I’m going to miss the most, being around the players.”

Tears are not common in the daily life of a college football coach. But here he stood, on a stage in the middle of a basketball arena, choked up before the media members and fans who had come to celebrate his career.

Students, faculty and community members met up front of the Columns at 6 p.m. Sunday for a candlelight vigil to honor the victims of the Paris attacks.

The event was held by United Students 2015, an organization that seeks to unify women and men of all races.

“This is for Paris and for the 224 Russians who were killed in a plane crash while flying over Egypt, which was supposedly caused by terrorists,” said Thomas Lee, a junior and leader

Although growing up on the South Side of Chicago desensitized Beckham to dealing with such vitriol, his experience at MU is not unique. In the wake of Concerned Student 1950’s protests against campus conditions, many alumni have re-examined their campus pride and donor status.

Mike Middleton speaks at a press conference after being announced as the interim president of the UM System on Thursday at University Hall.

UM System President

Student organizations support Middleton Fourteen student organizations cited Middleton’s record of public service in a letter written by MU Policy Now. MARILYN HAIGH Senior Staff Writer Kayla Burrell, vice president of the MU Black Pre-Law Student Association, watched Mike Middleton speak during a press conference Nov. 12 in University Hall in which he was announced as UM System interim president. The UM System Board of Curators selected him three days after former president Tim Wolfe’s resignation. “(Middleton) was very confident, like he felt like he would be able to make a change,” Burrell said. “Not cocky, but just someone you would trust with your, well I guess, with your UM System.”

Middleton isn’t just the Board of Curators’ choice. Fourteen student organizations, including MUBPLSA, endorsed a letter written by MU Policy Now to the curators supporting Middleton for interim president. Other student organizations that supported Middleton include the Missouri Students Association, Legion of Black Collegians and Graduate Professional Council.

MU Policy Now is a student organization that has existed for over a week. Member Kenneth Bryant Jr. said the organization was founded by a group of students who wanted to

Burrell said. “He is able to better hear us “(We) wanted to make sure disparities out and hear where we’re coming from.” on campus and at the system level would In the Nov. 12 press conference be focused on by policy so that changes where he was named interim president, can happen by way of institutional Middleton said he has felt marginalized reformation rather than just discussion on the MU campus in each of his roles about racial incidents,” Bryant said. as a student, an administrator and Br yant called professor.

Middleton’s experience in law and familiarity with “political processes” made him a good candidate.

“The demands from graduate students, Concerned Student 1950 are still out there,” Thompson said. “We want the interim to be strong and make some of these changes.”

She said GPC endorsed Middleton for the reasons laid out in MU Policy Now’s letter.

“It represents all our viewpoints,” Thompson said.

Bryant said he wasn’t surprised when the Board of Curators announced that Middleton would be serving as interim president. The curators made no mention of MU Policy Now’s letter in their announcement. “ ( M i d d l e to n ) ’s outstanding managerial skills and knowledge of the UM System and its four campuses make him the leader we need to advance our university system forward,” Board of Curators chairman Donald Cupps said in a news release.

Burrell said she didn’t recognize Middleton’s name when she first heard about the letter of support. After doing some research, she said she was impressed by his background and felt like he could understand marginalized students on campus better than anyone else.

“All the students just want to feel like they’re a part of a system that wants them to be there,” she said. “The system is broken, and he’ll be able to fix it.”

PARIS Continued from page 1

of United Students 2015. “We are all peaceful people coming out here to show support for Paris and for other countries affected by terrorist groups.”

The night before, at 8 p.m.

Nov. 14 in Speakers Circle, Stephens College freshman Amanda Huntley and MU sophomore Cordell Cox held a smaller candlelight vigil. The two students met on Yik Yak when Huntley posted about the idea of hosting a memorial for Paris victims. They then planned the event that night.

About 30 students gathered

freshman year. During one of the first weekends of her freshman year, 2012 graduate Chelsea Drake Marks was making her way to a fraternity party when a black alumna asked where she was going.

When Drake Marks told her which fraternity she planned on going to, the alumna quickly deterred her from going because of that fraternity’s history of racism.

“As a black person and as a woman, it’s hard to always feel safe,” Drake Marks said. “(Feeling unsafe) was definitely a feeling you always had when you were going to certain places on or near campus.”

It wasn’t always singular shocking events that created an unpleasant culture for students of color. 2013 graduate Alice McElroy remembered how microaggressions frustrated her as a student, whether it was black history being considered an elective rather than a core class, or black students being expected to be experts on slavery.

2002 graduate Sam Babalola witnessed great change during his four and a half years at MU, including the first black Missouri Students Association president. Babalola said that in some cases, however, offensive incidents may have only been motivated by ignorance.

As a Summer Welcome leader, Truman the Tiger and director of student activities for MSA, Babalola interacted with plenty of students in his time on campus.

“I met a lot of people, especially as a Summer Welcome leader, who would say, ‘Wow,

Huntley opened by addressing the audience about the Paris attacks.

“A French politician said on 9/11 that we are all Americans,” Huntley said. “Well today, we are all French.”

There was a moment of silence in mourning of the lives lost.

Sophomore and former Maneater staffer Grace Rogers was one of the students who attended after seeing posts about the event on Yik Yak, which has caused controversy over threats of violence last week.

“Yik Yak isn’t well known for

being the most credible source, and it has been a place where hatred has been expressed, and I thought it was very unique and interesting to see a positive thing coming from a place that has had a lot of hatred recently,” Rogers said.

During the Nov. 15 vigil, students, faculty and community members lit candles, reflected on the attack in Paris, expressed gratitude for Paris’ support after the Sept.

11 terrorist attack and took a moment of silence to honor the innocent lives that have been taken.

“We come together in fellowship here at the university, in Columbia and wherever we are from tonight to share that

you’re the first black person I’ve ever met or (the first) I’ve ever had a conversation with,’” Babola said.

Babalola maintains a great love for his alma mater, but he did say that he empathizes with the protesters because he had similar experiences as a student.

“Living life is an afterthought,” he said. “And always being aware of that was something that was always on my mind.”

letter to the university. Over 1,000 people signed the letter before it was sent on Nov. 9.

Alumni respond to protests When protests began on campus, alumni of all races banded together in solidarity with Concerned Student 1950. Nearly 1,000 former Tigers joined a Facebook group titled “Alumni for #concernedstudent1950,” and some quickly drafted a letter to the university addressing their concerns.

Beckham is part of an active group of graduates that has expressed its support for the students protesting. When Concerned Student 1950 camped out on Carnahan Quad, some alumni drove to Columbia to offer tangible support in the form of blankets, food and supplies, Beckham said.

Speaking to students, Beckham learned they were scared during the protests because of how these types of things “put a target on your back for the crazies to come out of the woodworks.” Alumni have also offered moral support to students by reminding them that they have supporters all over pulling for them.

McElroy said many alumni of color have had very positive responses to the protests, especially because she felt a response was long overdue.

Black alumni wrote their own

fellowship with the people of Paris,” said Chuck Henson, interim vice chancellor for inclusion, diversity and equity.

“There is a great similarity in my opinion in what happened with 9/11; the shock, terror and loss of life. We are brought together to share our humanity and compassion which there is no limit to unless we put it there ourselves. As we share our time together and think about others, I am very pleased to be among you.”

Earlier in the day, students received an email from interim Chancellor Hank Foley on Saturday night in which he wrote: “Paris is the city of lights, but last night the lights went out in Paris. We know that

in the absence of light, there is darkness; in the absence of good, there is evil and in the absence of love, there is hate.

It has been said it is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness. We illuminate our Columns every night at Mizzou to dispel darkness, evil and hate.”

Participants stood in front of the perpetually illuminated Columns and brought further light to the victims of Paris by lighting candles.

“We come together in unity to support the people of Paris,” Lee said to conclude the vigil.

“Even though we blow out these candles, and these lights go out, the lights will stay on in our hearts for Paris.”

Handling future donations Brown, who usually donates to the Tiger Scholarship Fund, raised another issue facing alumni — how to handle their future financial contributions to MU. Brown has decided to stop donating to the fund not because he disagrees with Concerned Student 1950, but because of “how things were handled.”

Brown said it could be a long time before he donates again.

“I’m pretty irritated with how things have gone,” he said.

Marcia Chatelain, a 2001 graduate, has also decided to change her donor status.

In the past, Chatelain gave small amounts to programs that affected her as a student because she “got a lot out of student life and leadership programs.”

But after recent events, Chatelain tweeted a photo of a letter she would be sending to MU with a single penny taped inside, saying it would be her “#lastpenny” donated until some of Concerned Student 1950’s demands were met. Chatelain wanted to show solidarity with the protestors and hoped the symbolic gesture would let the group know that alumni stood behind them.

“I think one of the things that Mizzou has to think about strategically is, ‘What does it mean when unrest on campus is disrupting its ability to cultivate donations for the long run?’” Chatelain said.

Recruiting future students Beckham said he noticed feelings of discomfort among prospective students of color

who were considering MU. Some of Beckham’s high school mentees are no longer considering MU as an option because of the recent events on campus.

He remembers the controversy he dealt with during his time at MU. He protested the decreases in minority scholarships in 2001 and a Ku Klux Klan march in 2003. And while he faced challenges on campus, Beckham still says that he loved his experience at MU and that he doesn’t want these events to hurt the university.

The changes that occurred Monday, Nov. 9 reaffirmed Merten’s pride in MU. “I was talking to other alumni and (Monday) was the first day I feel like I can

honestly say that Mizzou is a more progressive place than what people typically think of in Missouri,” Merten said.

“It’s on its way to becoming a place where people can feel safe. There’s not been prouder time to be a Tiger alumni than today.”

Beckham believes MU will be a model for other universities about protesting and opening up dialogues on race and justice.

“I think this is a litmus as well as an example for equality and to open a dialogue about race and justice and collaboration in our country,” Beckham said.

“What happened (Monday) is bigger than we are able to see right now.”

Yik Yak threats still resonate HAILEY STOLZE Outlook Editor Sheer panic: There’s no better way to describe students’ feelings on Nov. 10.

Rumors erupted on social media resulting in constant fear and miscommunication. Students left campus, going as far as driving back hours to their hometowns. Some Wednesday classes were canceled.

And it all started with Yik Yak. Around 7 p.m. that evening, threats started appearing on the anonymous social media app, inciting campus chaos.

“Some of you are alright,” a yak said, referencing the Oct. 1 Umpqua Community College shooting gunman. “Don’t go to campus tomorrow.”

“I’m going to stand my ground tomorrow and shoot every black person I see,” another yak said.

An MU Alert was sent out at 7:44 p.m. stating that the MU Police Department “increased security” in light of the threats. Student government joint session was adjourned shortly after. MUPD escorted out members, including Missouri Students Association President Payton Head, as a precaution.

Yik Yak wasn’t the only platform on which threats arose that day.

Earlier, around 11 a.m., the Gaines/ Oldham Black Culture Center received a phone called that was “perceived” to be a threat, MUPD Maj. Brian Weimer said.

The threats came a day after former UM System President Tim

Wolfe and former Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin announced their resignations. Racial tension on campus had been building up to that point.

Not long after the threats were discovered, several false rumors spread, including that the Ku Klux Klan was on campus. Despite these rumors, MU Alert tweeted at 11:19 p.m. that there was no “immediate threat to campus.”

Head perpetuated the rumors by posting on Facebook that the KKK had been confirmed on campus and that he’d been in contact with state troopers and National Guard. He later took down the post and issued an apology.

“I’m sorr y about the misinformation that I have shared through social media,” Head wrote.

“In a state of alarm, I was concerned for all students of the University of Missouri and wanted to ensure that everyone was safe.”

Although only a few weeks are left in his session, some are calling for Head’s impeachment over the incident. #PrayForMizz ou star te d trending on Twitter, and the threats soon became nationally recognized. The threats resulted in a quiet campus the next day, as many professors canceled classes with the support of MSA. Yik Yak co-founder Brooks Buffington released a blog post about the incident, stating that he was “impressed by the strength of the student body during an extremely tough time.”

MUPD arrested 19-year-old

Hunter M. Park on Nov. 11 in Rolla in connection to the threats. Park, a Missouri University of Science & Technology student, is in Boone County Jail. He was charged with a class C felony for making a terroristic threat and was denied bond in a court appearance last week.

The judge said Park was a danger to the community. Those who knew Park in high school said he “had a very twisted sense of humor.”

Park will appear in court next at 1:30 p.m. Nov. 18. MUPD has also arrested Northwest Missouri State student Connor Stottlemyre and 19-year-old Tyler Bradenberg from St. Louis for posting threats on Yik Yak. However, Bradenberg’s threats are believed to have been directed at Missouri S&T. Interim Chancellor Hank Foley, Provost Garnett Stokes and Chuck Henson, interim Vice Chancellor for Inclusion, Diversity and Equity, released a statement the next day about the threats. It stated that additional counselors will be available at the Counseling Center, Student Health, and Employee Assistance Program and that “campuswide events.” will be held.

“We have witnessed our brave students who sacrificed their own needs to do work that should have been done long before they joined our community,” Foley said. “We feel the weight of the world’s eyes upon us. We will not flinch from the work ahead.”

Peter Baugh contributed to this report.

TheManeater.com TheManeater.com TheManeater.com Students offer rides and housing after threats arise LAUREN WORTMAN Reporter Students on MU’s campus Tuesday night were put in an unusual position.

After threats surfaced on the social media site Yik Yak, students who live off campus or own a car began offering rides and housing for others who felt they were in danger.

Many students reached out via Facebook and Twitter, including sophomore Evan Chiarelli, junior Katie Harbinson and Missouri Students Association Senator Katie Rogers.

“I understand that in high risk times people are sometimes unable to reach their cars or buses in order to get off campus, especially when people are parked in far lots like AV14 and Hearnes,” Chiarelli said. “There are a substantial amount of students who lived on campus that did not feel safe where they were.”

While rumors circulated about the

Ku Klux Klan, bricks being thrown at residence halls and groups meeting in Speakers Circle to yell racial epithets, a feeling of fear resonated with many student who remained on campus.

“The atmosphere on campus last night was truly one of fear, which is something no student should ever experience on their campus,” Harbinson said. “With everything I was hearing on social media, I was genuinely afraid for the wellbeing of friends.”

Harbinson said that social media was one of her only sources of information that night, and the reports, whether true or false, had an effect on students.

“Of course I was scared,” Rogers said.

“I was scared for my friends and family who were on campus. That being said, I was willing to go to campus to help those in need.”

Rogers did not only feel an obligation to help as a student, but as a student leader in MSA as well.

“Being in MSA does make me feel

more obligated to help others because it is my duty to serve the student body and do everything I can to protect those feeling unsafe,” Rogers said.

Students, such as Harbinson, said they felt that it was their responsibility as students to help others because the administration’s response was not as strong as they had hoped for.

“Students are mostly the ones spreading information about possible threats, offering rides and safe havens and banding together to make sure all students feel safe,” Chiarelli said. “The administration has been providing resources, counselors, MUPD protection, etc., and doing what it can to monitor threats and neutralize them when they surface. Safety is everyone’s responsibility to maintain.”

Chiarelli also said that it is the responsibility of students to help out in ways that the administration cannot.

“It is important students help other students because many times

the university cannot provide services to its students,” Chiarelli said. “Had students needed to evacuate dorms or get off campus, there is no way for the university to get such a high quantity of students off campus in a situation like that. So it is up to students to look out for other students.”

Students also said that when making the decision to drive or house people off campus, they tried to see things from a different perspective.

“I knew that if I lived on campus, I wouldn’t want to be there and would hope that someone would offer me a place to stay if I was uncomfortable,” Harbinson said.

At the end of the night, fellow students were glad that they offered to help. Harbinson drove a few people home that night, she said.

“We’ve got to look out for our own,” Chiarelli said. “No student should die trying to get an education.”

Peace parade unites Columbia and MU LILY OPPENHEIMER Reporter A few ominous threats posted on Yik Yak on Nov. 10 emptied campus the next day and caused widespread social media chaos.

Yet on Sunday afternoon, children in Peace Park ran through the scrambling legs of reporters. Teachers grouped underneath the changing leaves and smiled. Peace Park rapidly filled with more than 100 Columbia residents pushing strollers; business owners and activists held signs, and students and MU faculty prepared to march in support of inclusivity within the MU campus.

MU adjunct professor Grace Vega said she was thrilled to see more white people participating in the march.

“I challenge you to challenge others around you,” Vega said. “Challenge the way they think. You might not agree with everything Concerned Student 1950 did, but they sure did a hell of a job.”

Angela Speck, chairwoman of the Faculty Council’s Diversity Enhancement Committee, pulled the march together in coordination with other faculty after repeatedly visiting the Concerned Student 1950 tents and online threats arose. The march wrapped up a week after former UM System President Tim Wolfe released a statement saying he would not resign, only to do so a day later. Former Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin resigned six hours after Wolfe.

The campus community was divided on the resignations and the methods of Concerned Student 1950. Graduate student Jonathan Butler went on a hunger strike to remove Wolfe from office. According to a survey, 62 percent of likely voters in Missouri disagreed with the protesters’ actions.

On the Facebook event for the parade, Speck said the event was originally inspired by the fourth item in Concerned Student 1950’s demands. The demand calls for a “comprehensive racial awareness and inclusion curriculum.”

The peace march evolved into something much larger than Speck originally thought and expanded to be about showing solidarity with the minority students, and supporting inclusion on campus.

“We need to show the students that we have their backs,” Speck said. “We’ve got all these people here from the community, and they’re going to talk to each other and think about solutions.

We’re trying to show solidarity for all marginalized students.”

Traci Wilson-Kleekamp, former School of Medicine director of diversity and outreach, sang through the march, echoing uplifting chants of “This Little Light of Mine,” and finally ending outside of the Gaines/Oldham Black Culture Center with “We Shall Not Be Moved.”

“We are here as a community to march in solidarity, and this is no longer just Mizzou,” Wilson-Kleekamp said. “We’re

elevating the conversation.”

This march had a different makeup than other marches this past semester; instead of comprising of mostly students, there was a greater balance between Columbia residents and faculty.

“Too often this burden of change is left to people of color,” Vega said. “I have a brown husband and brown children.

Watching my family directly affected by this gives me the passion to make change.”

Insomnia Cookies employee Ronnie Monroe recalled his aunt, a woman of color, who attended MU in the 1950s.

“I know that she didn’t speak up in the ’50s when she came to Mizzou, and I’m here because I want equal opportunities

Statewide Survey Reveals Division A survey conducted on Nov. 13 and 14 of 711 likely voters in Missouri revealed public opinion on various topics surrounding MU and recent events involving graduate student Jonathan Butler’s hunger strike that, with the support of Concerned Student 1950, resulted in the resignation of UM System President Tim Wolfe. Out of all the survey particpants, 85 percent were white and only 9 percent of participants were African-‐American. In addition, 41 pecent of participants were aged 50 to 69 years old, and the largest pool of participants came from St. Louis, Kansas City and Springfield, with only 8 percent of participants from Columbia. While most survey participants still find MU favorable overall, the majority harbor negative views toward recent events.

MU graduate Rob Stewart attended marches last summer, and he said he is concerned for all students who face explicit threats.

“We need to be proactive instead of reactive,” Stewart said. “I’d like to see the new administration not only listening, but responding.”

Graduate student Ruth Cardenas expects the new administration to actively work to meet student’s demands.

“Our allies may not completely understand yet, but they’re here today to support,” Cardenas said. “Real action has to be taken now.”

MU graduate student and protester Jonathan Butler removes a “No Media, Safe Space” sign from the Concerned Student 1950 campsite Nov. 11, 2015, on Carnahan Quad. Journalists and media outlets clashed with protesters over the right to cover events after Tim Wolfe’s resignation was announced.

Protests prompt free speech discussion concerned with the media getting the story right, which is why they urged supporters at Monday’s demonstration to not comment to reporters.

A student occupant of the campsite explained that media should speak directly with the original organizers of Concerned Student 1950 if they wanted to understand the movement.

“The original organizers have a legitimate and authentic reason as to why (the movement started), and it goes much further than Concerned Student 1950, it starts with the MU4MikeBrown movement on campus,” she said. “We want to make sure that everybody understands the real reason, the beginning reason, and how it has flowed down a timeline of things, in sequence.”

The student demonstrators also said that they had tried to keep the media out of the campsite because of safety concerns.

“Some people’s identities and lives are on the line for these types of things, so we want it to be safe,” she said. “This is some people’s home now. You see tents, people lay their heads here now, like me, so it’s kind of an invasion of your home.”

She explained that they understood they were using a public space, but that at the same time, they wanted it to be a risk-free space that was treated with respect.

“Those are the only things we want: respect, to get the story right and for people to understand that this is a safe space,” the student said.

The next day, Nov. 11, Young

Americans for Liberty held a Free Speech Wall event on Lowry Mall, adding to the dialogue on campus about the First Amendment. Organizers encouraged all passers-by to “exercise their First Amendment rights” by writing whatever they wanted on the wall.

Caleb Mundwiller, a freshman political science major and member of the group, explained they had been planning the event far before MU became the center of a national debate on the First Amendment and the timing was coincidental.

He said Young Americans for Liberty is a group on campus that works to bridge the divide between Democrats and Republicans.

The event’s message was on open dialogue and the benefits of conversation, organizers said. They told participants that if they were critical of something to not scratch it out, but instead write why they were critical of it.

“We’ve had people from all spectrums — people that are with Concerned Student 1950 and exercised their right … and we’ve had a bunch of people talk bad things about CS1950, so it’s been a really good unifier,” he said.

Mundwiller said that through the event, organizers had been able to discuss and explain the idea of free speech to many people. “‘Our rights are protected, not given to us’ is what a lot of people are realizing today,” he said. “So, whenever they come over here and we tell them that, it’s kind of like a light bulb goes off and they’re

like, ‘Oh, that makes sense. Like, I’m an individual, this is my right as an individual to speak my mind and say what I want.”

He said Concerned Student 1950 demonstrators have shown just how the right to free speech works through their recent demonstrations.

“They were marching over campus, even here near Memorial Union, saying, ‘We shut shit down, we shut shit down,’” he said. “They can say that because it’s their free speech, they can go around and protest, they can send letters to everybody in the administration they want to be resigned or fired, and that is their free speech that lets them do that.”

Sandy Davidson, professor of communications law at the School of Journalism, explained, explained, however, that speech that jeopardizes someone’s wellbeing can sometimes be considered punishable.

If the speech is threatening to a reasonable person, it’s generally not protected, she said. She said speech that includes ‘fighting words’ said face-to-face can be regarded as a peace disturbance, which can make it criminal.

Davidson explained that at the same time, the First Amendment protects speech that might be unpopular.

“The First Amendment wasn’t created to protect pretty speech,” she said.

She also emphasized that speech can cross an ethical line far before a legal line.

“On a university campus we should try to elevate the ethical standards,” Davidson said. “We should have respect.”

Reports of Concerned Student 1950 supporters’ attempts to block media access during demonstrations Nov. 9 quickly overshadowed the news of former UM System President Tim Wolfe’s resignation in the national media. The move prompted a national conversation on First Amendment rights and safe spaces.

Several MU employees have received backlash after video surfaced of them and other demonstrators squaring off with journalists. The students camping on Carnahan Quad had put signs declaring the site a media-free safe space.

The student activists shifted gears Nov. 10. Leaders of the movement opened the campsite up to the media and handed out a flier to the campsite occupants that read: “TEACHABLE MOMENT 1. Media has a First Amendment right to occupy campsite 2.

The media is important to tell our story and experiences at Mizzou to the whole world 3. Let’s welcome and thank them!”

Officers are taking mental illness seriously After a push for mental illness awareness, police are training to respond to it correctly.

ELANE EDWARDS Staff Writer Local police officers have made plans to better understand and work with individuals in the community with mental illness.

According to the Treatment Advocacy Center, there are approximately 356,000 inmates with a serious mental illness in jails and state prisons. This is 10 times more than the approximately 35,000 individuals with serious mental illness remaining in state hospitals nationwide.

According to the the center’s website, this makes it seem like the U.S. is using jails and prisons rather than hospitals as a primary facility for people with mental illnesses.

To avoid this, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, an organization “dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness,” has been working with police since 1988 to create healthier and more successful communication between police officers and those with mental illnesses, according to their website.

Two million jail bookings every year involve a person with mental illness, according to the NAMI website. Also,

approximately 15 percent of men and 30 percent of women in local jails have a serious mental illness, and one in four of people killed in police-involved shootings has a serious mental illness.

“These numbers just begin to show some of the relationships — and consequences — of a sad truth: With our failing mental health system so inadequate, law enforcement agencies have increasingly become de facto first responders to people experiencing mental health crisis,” the NAMI website said.

The video describes the benefits CIT has for police officers, the community and health care facilities.

MU Police Department Maj. Brian Weimer said in an email that MUPD provides basic training to all their employees instructing them on how to respond to people with mental illnesses.

“Many of our officers have also attended crisis intervention training,” Weimer said in an email.

Crisis intervention training is provided by NAMI and helps answer questions like where an officer can take a person for mental health treatment besides jail, especially at night, and how the transfer of custody at the Emergency Department can be sped up so officers can get back to other work.

The video describes the need for CIT for police officers and why it needs to be addressed, and the benefits CIT can have on police officers, the community and health care facilities.

Columbia Police Department Public

Information Officer Bryana Larimer said all CPD officers go through first responder training, provided by the National Training and Education Division.

Police officers and citizens can attend a course to learn how to “apply the basic skills of their profession in the context of preparing, preventing, deterring, responding to and recovering from acts of terrorism and catastrophic events,” NTED stated on their website. “(CPD officers) also repeat specific training on conditions such as excited

delirium and mental health,” Larimer said.

NAMI is not only standing up for people with mental illnesses but for the mental health as police officers, as well.

“The stresses on law enforcement officers have grown greater, and we know that there is a disturbing trend in law enforcement suicide,” NAMI stated on their website. “With the increase in mass shooting events, it’s become more evident than ever that officer mental wellness needs to be a priority from the day of hire to retire.”

wrote an amicus brief in support of Pittman, highlighting for the court that sexual orientation discrimination can be analyzed under the current law protecting against sex discrimination, which was affirmed by Judge Anthony Gabbert in his dissenting opinion.

“A person’s sex is always considered when taking a person’s sexual orientation into account,” Gabbert wrote. “Thus, under the spirit of the law, sexual discrimination claims based on sexual orientation are actionable claims under the Missouri Human Rights Act.” Gabbert was following the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s method, said Cameron Lincoln, president of the School of Law’s Lambda Legal Society.

Mittman said the EEOC is moving toward analyzing discrimination based on sexual orientation under the existing law protecting against sex discrimination.

“That’s a really smart way to get around how slow Congress is to sometimes get to these things,” Lincoln said. “Using a broad interpretation of the text allows the law to move forward with changes in the culture.”

This is the first time this issue has been raised in Missouri courts. Pittman’s attorney Lynne Bratcher said she is going to continue to pursue this case.

“We’re still going forward and I’m hopeful that the (Missouri) Supreme Court will hear this,” Bratcher said.

Bratcher said the Missouri Supreme

Court has more power to interpret laws than lower courts, and does not have to follow the decision of the Court of Appeals.

Lincoln said the majority’s opinion used a very strict interpretation of the law.

“It’s based on textual analysis and not adding anything outside of the legislative intent,” Lincoln said. “Their view on this is that the legislature didn’t write sexual orientation, it’s impermissible for us to just draw it in because we wanted to.”

The court made it clear that they were reluctant to deny Pittman’s claim.

“No matter how compelling Pittman’s argument may be, and no matter how sympathetic this court or the trial court may be to Pittman’s situation, we are bound by the state of the law as it currently exists,” Welsh wrote.

Special Judge Robert Clayton wrote that he “respectfully and reluctantly” concurred in the opinion of Welsh.

Mittman said the majority of Americans are in favor of equal opportunity and fair treatment in the workplace.

“Most Americans, and most Missourians, presume and just assume that those protections exist for gay people, for lesbian people and transgender people,” Mittman said.

“What they don’t understand is that it is perfectly legal for somebody to come in for a job, to be the most qualified applicant, and for the employer to say, ‘I’m not hiring you because you’re a

lesbian.’ People don’t understand that that’s the current state of the law.”

Bratcher said it is possible for the case to spark legislative change. After the decision came down, she heard from the attorney general and various legislators, who expressed the need to take action on behalf of Missouri LGBTQ citizens.

“Excluding gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender persons from employment opportunities, from equality of opportunities, from public businesses, is the exception,” Mittman said. “It is not what people want or what people expect, and we hope and presume that very quickly the Missouri General Assembly will fix that injustice, as well as the federal Congress.”

James Pittman said he was harassed and fired by his previous employer for being a gay man. The Missouri Court of Appeals rejected his lawsuit against the Cook Paper Recycling Corp.

The court dismissed the case in a 2-1 decision for failure to state a claim, since the Missouri Human Rights Act does not explicitly protect against discrimination based on sexual orientation.

“No room exists for construction, even when the court may prefer a policy different from that enunciated by the legislature,” Chief Judge James Welsh wrote in the majority opinion.

The American Civil Liberties Union, alongside other groups, has worked for years to pass the Missouri NonDiscrimination Act, which would protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people against discrimination in the workplace.

“Unfortunately, there are legislators, who are keeping that from coming up for a vote, who will not schedule that for a hearing, even though we know ... a majority of Americans believe in equal opportunity,” ACLU of Missouri Executive Director Jeffrey Mittman said.

Pittman stated in his claim that his harassment and the eventual termination of his employment was sex discrimination. The ACLU

Photo illustration of an MU student smoking a cigarette on campus. Efforts in Columbia to reduce underage smoking have been on the rise with the passing of the Tobacco 21 ordinance in addition to MU being a smoke-free campus.

Efforts to reduce smoking in Columbia continue Despite the Tobacco 21 ordinance, students still find ways to obtain tobacco products, and local businesses continue to sell to them.

TESSA WEINBERG AND LAUREN WORTMAN of The Maneater Staff

Most recently, in a two-part inspection of the Break Time location on June 8 and 10, FDA-commissioned inspectors found that a minor under the age of 18 years old was able to purchase a pack of Grizzly Long Cut Premium Wintergreen smokeless tobacco without being asked to see any forms of identification before the sale, according to the complaint NTSO filed by the FDA. The Break Time establishment also sold tobacco products to a minor in December 2014, January 2014 and August 2013.

“Retailers are the first line of defense in preventing the illegal sale of harmful and addictive products like cigarettes and smokeless tobacco to youth,” FDA spokesman Michael Felberbaum said in an email.

“These enforcement actions will send a powerful message to all retailers that there are real consequences for repeatedly violating the law.”

Energy cooperative MFA Oil, which operates Break Time convenience store locations, admitted to the allegations and paid the stipulated penalty. Curtis Chaney, MFA Oil senior vice president of retail, said in a statement that MFA Oil is working with the FDA to address the situation.

“Obviously, Break Time understands the gravity of these violations,” Chaney said. “We make every effort to take swift action in addressing alcohol and tobacco infractions. Our policy is clear that these types of violations can lead to loss of employment.”

After an NTSO has been filed, a retailer usually has around 30 days to respond to the complaint.

From there, if the complaint goes into effect, it is the retailer’s responsibility to not sell “any regulated tobacco products in the establishment,” Felberbaum said. Unannounced compliance checks may also be conducted during this time.

The FDA’s new NTSO initiative works to reduce the sale of tobacco products to young adults. According to a survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 23.8 percent of adults between the ages of 18 and 24 smoked tobacco in 2013.

Student government on campus is working to reduce that number on campus. RHA’s resolution was tabled at joint session until the Monday after break.

Students can be found taking drags on their cigarettes, day or night, near the fountain between Strickland Hall and the Student Center. Sitting on the ledge surrounding the fountain, they blow smoke around the campus that was declared smoke-free in July 2013.

Efforts in Columbia to reduce underage smoking have been on the rise in recent years with the passing of the Tobacco 21 ordinance, in addition to MU being a smoke-free campus. Most recently, the Missouri Students Association passed a resolution to implement more no-smoking signs throughout campus in an effort to reinforce MU’s smoke-free status.

MSA unanimously passed this resolution through all of the present student governments during joint session Nov. 17. The resolution called for more no-smoking signs to be placed around campus in an effort to prevent people from smoking in areas such as the fountain by the Student Center. It also calls on the MU Police Department to better enforce the smokefree policy.

The Residence Halls Association also has a pending resolution proposed by the Advocacy Committee that calls for more no-smoking signage on campus around Lowry Mall, the fountain and Pershing Hall. The resolution also calls for penalties for students and visitors on campus caught smoking. This resolution had not yet passed at press time.

At MU, a survey found that the daily smoking rate is around 8 percent, Wellness Resource Center coordinator Tiffany Bowman said in an email.

Freshman Nick Simon, who smokes cigars, said he still finds ways to purchase tobacco products despite

being under 21, and usually drives to Jefferson City to stock up on $60 to $70 worth of cigars at a time. Simon said he believes that the Tobacco 21 law will not have a significant impact on the levels of smoking among college students in the long run.

“I don’t think that it changes anything really,” Simon said. “People who want to smoke, smoke; that’s kind of the nature of an addiction.”

Simon said smoking is a form of stress relief and thinks rather than restricting the sale of tobacco, the city and MU should provide alternatives to smoking in order to reduce both the levels of stress and smoking in students. Simon also said he would like to see aids for quitting provided on campus.

The Wellness Resource Center offers smoking cessation programs for students and Bowman said she has seen a slight increase in the use of these programs on campus.

“This is a completely free service and we provide individual quit coaching, free nicotine replacement therapy (patches, gum or lozenges) as well as individual quit planning,” Bowman said. “There are also free apps and online resources that can be used coupled with quit coaching if a student is interested in those options as well.”

In spite of the Tobacco 21 ordinance that has been in effect for nearly 11 months in Columbia, a Break Time at 110 E. Nifong Blvd. is one of eight retailers across the nation that has been charged with the Food and Drug Administration’s inaugural No-Tobacco-Sale Order.

The FDA may file an NTSO when a retailer has violated restrictions on the sale and distribution of tobacco products. Last December, in an effort to limit nicotine usage in the city, Columbia City Council passed a bill that prohibits the sale of tobacco to people under the age of 21. In addition, the council also passed a law prohibiting the use of electronic cigarettes indoors.

Under the law, the FDA can file a NTSO order against a retailer if it has “a total of five or more repeated violations of those restrictions during compliance inspections within 36 months,” according to an FDA news release.

THE MANEATER | NEWS | NOVEMBER 18, 2015

MU Alert and MUPD news releases explained ALLYSON SHERWIN Staff Writer Whenever a crime unfolds on or around campus, MU Alert and MU Police Department news releases bridge the gap between informed officials and affected students.

MU Alert uses text messages, emails, website updates and social media to quickly spread awareness of potential or immediate threats to campus.

These include “weather-related emergencies, bomb threats and criminal activity on or near campus,” according to the MU Alert website.

MU Alert is mainly coordinated by MUPD and MU spokesman Christian Basi, who collaborate on informing the campus.

When sending out an alert, many factors are taken into consideration beyond just time, MUPD Maj. Scott Richardson said.

“The reliability of the person reporting the information to us, the danger of what the person might be reporting, what is the possibility of one of our faculty, student, staff or visitor getting injured in our area ... Those types of things are what we take into consideration before sending out an alert,” Richardson said.

Although MU Alert and MUPD news releases serve to inform the public, the information platforms are geared toward different audiences, and each outlet reports different types of crime.

“A crime alert might

come out for something that is immediate, and the campus needs to be notified,” Richardson said. “That would come out to for example, if you signed up for the text alerts or you received it in your email. So those are alerts. Press releases would be items that we send to the press. We have an email that includes all of the news affiliates so that would be press release.”

News releases typically detail recent arrests that were made, information that would be sought out by the media, but would not be necessary to inform the public in an urgent way as featured in MU Alert.

“Media releases and press releases are just simply what we want to get out to the media to inform them of something,” MUPD Maj. Brian Weimer said.

“We send them out a lot of times if we are getting a lot of media calls about a specific subject so it’s easy to contact everyone at once that way so I don’t get a lot of calls but it could be a lot of things, like if we want to alert the media of something important, such as our reaccreditation efforts back in July.”

News releases also can potentially aid police efforts in locating a suspect involved in a crime, informing the media and creating a chain of awareness ending ultimately with the public.

In instances like the threats made in the evening of Nov. 10, MU Alerts and news releases not only work to inform affected students but also quell

circulating rumors.

The MU Alert website was updated twice Nov. 10, stating that extra security measures were being taken in light of MUPD’s investigation of threats of violence made on Yik Yak. On Nov. 11, MUPD updated

users on the status of the investigation by announcing that a suspect had been apprehended, and that MU leaders are working to improve the safety of the community.

“Mizzou leadership hears your concerns and condemns

threats made against our community,” an MU Alert website update said. “We want you to know we’re here and are focused on your safety and wellbeing. We’re working as a team to continue to move forward as a stronger community.”

whether of a majority or minority identity.

“We want everybody to understand that if you’re going to represent us, represent us well,” she said. “Represent the marginalized and the majority; it’s for everybody.”

They also clarified that there are still more demands the group would like to see met by the administration besides the removal of Wolfe, and that they will continue to work toward them.

“We’re not saying (Wolfe) was the only problem,” she said.

“That’s why there’s the list of demands we put out there to the public, so they understand that he wasn’t the only problem.”

The student occupants also said the movement will not end until there truly is a cultural change on campus.

“It’s not going to end, we’re not going to stop, and even once we’ve figured out that we’ve won what we wanted, we’re still going to continue to keep it that way,” she said. “The fight never ends, the fight never ends. It’s never-ending until we really get what we need, and what we want, and what we ask for and then to maintain it.”

She explained that the

movement will lead to the establishment of a safe space beyond the campsite that was on Carnahan Quad until Tuesday, Nov. 10, when organizers broke it down in anticipation of a severe storm expected to hit Columbia.

“We want it to be a safe space for everybody, that’s what we’re working towards,” she said. “Not just this little part in Carnahan Quad, but you know outside of this space, all around Mizzou, all around Columbia and eventually everywhere.”

She explained that she does not know what outcomes the movement will bring in the future, but that they are working toward making each new day better for the community.

“We’re trying to progress toward a greater cause,” she said. “It’s all about progression and some people feel as if it’s not that way, which is OK if you don’t feel that way, that’s fine, but we’re all fighting for something that’s bigger than us. We can’t see what’s actually going to happen in the future, but we can work on it and bet that we will have a greater Mizzou, an actual One Mizzou.

That’s the thing that we want more than anything.”

Concerned Student 1950 looks toward the future JENNIFER PROHOV Senior Staff Writer A calm breeze drifted through a reverently quiet Carnahan Quad campsite Nov. 10, creating a peaceful atmosphere that came in sharp contrast to the day before, when a national media frenzy had surrounded the site.

Members of Concerned Student 1950, the group that spearheaded campus protests that led to former UM System President Tim Wolfe’s resignation Nov. 9, said they want to create a tranquil and open space for every student.

“This is a peaceful, graceful, spiritual place for everyone,” a student occupant said. “Like any religion, background, you are welcome to be you here. This is your safe space to be who you want to be.”

The students said they are working to develop a safe, supportive community for everyone on MU’s campus, and hope to eventually see it grow beyond MU. Students on college campuses across the U.S. have heard that call, and have been holding their own protests inspired by and in support of MU students. Many hope to see

the type of institutional changes that have occurred at MU take place at their own school.

Members of Concerned Student 1950 said these changes were a long time coming. Another student occupant of the campsite explained that the movement grew out of a history rooted in oppression.

“This movement is so much more than the past month, the past year; it goes all the way back,” she said. “It’s bigger than everybody who’s alive right here on this campus, this is before we were even thought of, this is how deep this is. It’s kind of rooted here. We want to uproot,

re-condition everybody’s mindset to understand that this is the place where everybody should be welcome.”

Both student occupants said they think the movement will continue to have the same momentum in the future.

“I see this going in the right direction,” one said. “I see the momentum has not died. It’s not done, it’s motivation to keep us going further and further and the next step is for shared governance amongst the students and the administration and everybody.”

She explained that the hope for shared governance is that it will bring a voice to every student,

Students at schools across the globe have shown their support for MU and Concerned Student 1950 in the past week following graduate student Jonathan Butler’s hunger strike, which came to an end after UM System President Tim Wolfe resigned. #StandWithMizzou went viral along with #BlackOnCampus as students began to share their own experiences with racism on campus.

Students stood in solidarity by staging walkouts, wearing black and starting hunger strikes of their own. Ithaca College, Claremont McKenna College and Yale University are some of the more notable schools that have been striving to implement initiatives promoting diversity, even leading to the resignation of various administrators on their campuses.

Through social media posts declaring their solidarity, we have compiled a map with over 150 schools worldwide — including schools in Canada and Nigeria — where students have announced they stand in solidarity.

Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel addresses the audience during a press conference Monday, Nov. 16, 2015, at Mizzou Arena.

For Pinkel, coaching was always about more than football With tears in his eyes, the football coach tried to get the words out.

It took a few seconds. As Gary Pinkel stood on the stage erected in Mizzou Arena on Monday morning for his farewell press conference, he couldn’t help but choke up at the thought of leaving what matters most to him.

He’ll miss the coaching staff. He’ll miss Ann Hatcher, his secretary, who was one of his most reliable friends during the tough times. He’ll miss the game, obviously.

“Most importantly, the toughest thing about this,” Pinkel stuttered. He gazed down, trying to hide the glossy eyes of a football coach known for being stern rather than emotional.

“Sorry,” the coach collected himself. “It’s my players. At Toledo and here at Mizzou. I’m going to miss that. I’m going to miss them. I’m going to miss that interaction and being around them, scolding them when I have to scold them and hugging them everyday. That’s what I’m going to miss the most, being around the players.”

Tears are not common in the daily life of a college football coach. But here he stood, on a stage in the middle of a basketball arena, choked up before the media members and fans who had come to celebrate his career.

The man who has personified football in the state of Missouri for the last 15 years will step down at the conclusion of the season because of the diagnosis of follicular lymphoma, a form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, he received in May. After his diagnosis, he immediately told family, close friends and athletics director Mack Rhoades. There’s no cure for the disease. It can only be managed. Now, he feels fine. He underwent treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, in May and June and “felt great.”

But in the back of his mind, the inevitable end of coaching the Tigers still loomed. How much longer could he spend with his wife, Missy? How much longer could he spend with his children and his grandchildren?

“You start thinking about your time and re-evaluate your priorities,” Pinkel said. “It’s funny when you get (cancer). It’s so numbing … You’re driving around for a week and you glance at yourself in the rearview mirror and look at yourself and say, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me.’”

During last month’s bye week, the coach made the final decision to step down at the conclusion of the season. He told his family and then Rhoades. Pinkel planned on telling his team and staff on Sunday after the Brigham Young game, but somehow word got out Friday afternoon.

He didn’t want his other family — the team — finding out from social media or word of mouth. Just minutes before boarding the buses for the BYU game, the coach dropped the bombshell.

“They had to know first,” Pinkel said. “That was the most important thing. When I talked to them, it was really emotional for me.”

Pinkel has always preached the family aspect of his Tigers’ program.

This past week, as the news came out that the coach would resign following the 2015 season, a video from this summer came back into light.

The promotional video, narrated by Pinkel, emphasizes his philosophy of coaching and molding his players into young men.

The black and white video starts out with a line of retired Missouri football helmets, dramatic music and the familiar sound of Pinkel’s voice.

“No one ever said it was going to be easy,” he tells his Tigers. “But I never doubted you guys for a second. Because I knew what makes this team so special. It’s all about family.”

Talking to players at Missouri, the family attitude within the program is more than just a selling point to recruits.

This year, Pinkel set up “fatherly advice” team meetings every

Thursday. Last year it was “book of virtues.” The players took it to heart.

“He’ll tell you to treat everybody the same,” senior cornerback Kenya Dennis said. “One example he always uses is if the president was in here or the guy that’s cleaning the windows, he’d talk to both guys … He’s going to treat everyone the same no matter what.”

As a tight end at Kent State, young Pinkel played under the late Don James. That led the young man from Akron, Ohio, to a graduate assistant role under James at Kent State, and then Washington. He learned to lead a program with “honesty and integrity.”

Coaching was always about so much more than football.

“Coach James always said, ‘Anything you do, your players are going to notice,’” Pinkel said. “‘Anything you do, they’re going to look at you, they’re going to point to you and they’re going to see who you are.’ That leadership role is very important. I took that very, very seriously.”

The family mindset stems from this. His players are his “kids,” and looking after 127 isn’t always easy. But in his mind, it’s more important than what might happen any given fall Saturday on the gridiron. At his kids’ home away from home, someone needs to be a father figure.

“I tell recruits, and I tell players, ‘You’re going to have my phone number in your phone forever,’” Pinkel said. “‘And I’m going to have yours. You call me anytime you need me for anything.’”

The black and white video continues.

Players hug on and off the field. They joke around in the locker room.

They lean down in prayer.

“I care about you guys,” Pinkel’s voice said, “and it’s my responsibility to push you to be great.”

The words come from a scripted promotional video highlighting the Missouri football program, but the words are real. Pinkel does care. He cares enough about his players that he gives life advice, putting aside the game for a few moments every week to spent time molding his players

Pinkel speaks at a news conference in 2014 at Mizzou Arena following ESPN’s Outside the Lines report about alleged sexual assaults committed by former Mizzou football player Derrick Washington.

into men.

Stripping himself of the football coach role for at least one meeting a week, Pinkel is a father in those meetings.

He’s been a father figure for senior center Evan Boehm, whom Pinkel always told that he should live his life with enthusiasm.

He’s been a father figure for junior Michael Scherer, whose mom was in the hospital for a week this past winter. Pinkel texted or called the linebacker every day, asking how his mother was, sending prayers and good wishes. For a month straight, he’d ask about her.

He doesn’t just say he cares for a promotional video. He lives it.

And at the end of the day, those are the moments and lessons Scherer will remember. Someday, Scherer said, long after Pinkel’s statue is erected outside of Memorial Stadium, he’ll be telling his kids Coach Pinkel stories just like Pinkel always tells Don James stories.

“No coaching advice he could have given me on the field, nothing he could have ever told me during a game, or before a game or after a game will ever amount to what he’s taught me about life off the field,” Scherer said.

The music slows down at the end of the video, with a fade to the Tigers running through the smoke onto Faurot Field. The token phrase “Mizzou Made” appears on the screen.

Gary Pinkel made Mizzou, Mizzou. As of Monday, Pinkel has 118 wins, the most in school history. He’s been to ten bowl games in 14 full seasons at Missouri, five of which came during 10-win years. In the previous 110 seasons, there had been just one. He brought a down-and-out Big 12 program to the top of the Southeastern Conference in just over a decade.

Right before the screen cuts to black, just like Pinkel’s career at Missouri in a little over a month, Pinkel delivers his team a message.

“I love every one of you guys. Now let’s go win.”

R. Bowen Loftin’s chancellor report card R. Bowen Loftin announced Nov. 9 that he would be transitioning from his position as MU’s chancellor to a new role as director for research facility development, effective Jan. 1. Two days later, the UM System Board of Curators decided to accelerate this process by giving interim Chancellor Hank Foley the responsibilities of the office immediately.

Loftin’s 22-month tenure was not without controversy. We’ve looked back at Loftin’s successes and failures as chancellor and graded him accordingly.

caused students to see him as out-of-touch regarding student issues and precipitated his downfall as chancellor. Every time controversy struck campus, Loftin would either hastily put together a statement that lacked sincerity, or remain silent altogether.

He was blindsided by the removal of graduate students’ health insurance. In an interview with the Columbia Missourian, he said he found out graduate students were losing their subsidized health insurance over social media, about four hours after students were informed.

Although he eventually reinstated the health insurance, his lack of awareness sent a message to graduate students that he didn’t care enough about their health insurance, and their rights, to even know that it was about to expire.

His lackadaisical planning of the race relations forums following the events in Ferguson in August 2014 made him appear apprehensive when it came to discussing race. Out of the five forums he proposed, only three ever took place. And the forums were just the beginning of his unsatisfactory performance on race relations.

When Missouri Students Association President Payton Head posted on Facebook that he was called racial slurs on the street, Loftin didn’t issue a response for six days.

When he did eventually release a statement, he called the incident an act of “bias and discrimination.” It wasn’t until a similar incident involving the Legion of Black Collegians Homecoming royalty that Loftin finally called it racism.

Approachability and Attendance: C+ Loftin always looked the part of a chancellor. His signature bow tie and charming persona created a widely recognizable brand that made him easily approachable and added a unique presence to the chancellorship.

On the surface, Loftin was an exceptionally likable guy. If you happened to see Loftin on the quad and needed a question answered or a problem dealt with, he wasn’t intimidating to approach.

But despite being so approachable, Loftin was a hard man to pin down, as students often found themselves wondering where he was. He routinely made appearances at sporting events, but failed to show at events that focused on campus issues or controversies.

Toward the end of his tenure, Loftin did start to learn, as he was present at the start of one of the Concerned Student 1950 marches and made several visits to the campsite. However, by that point, his image as an inattentive and absent administrator couldn’t be changed.

Title IX: B A greater successes of Loftin’s chancellorship was his bolstering of the Title IX Office. Much of the success came in the wake of allegations of Title IX violations in ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” report on the university’s handling of swimmer Sasha

Menu Courey case. The progress following has been significant.

The progress began in January 2014 with UM System President Tim Wolfe’s Executive Order 40, which designated all university employees with knowledge of sexual harassment against a student as “mandated reporters.” Loftin also made the position of Title IX coordinator full-time rather than part-time.

Regarding Title IX, Loftin had a refreshing honesty that we never saw in the issues of race relations and graduate student rights.

He said in his letter posted on the Title IX website that he cannot guarantee the safety of every student, but that he would do everything he could to ensure students receive unfettered access to an education.

resignation, the deans of nine different MU colleges requested the immediate dismissal of Loftin as chancellor. The letter from the deans came a week after a unanimous vote of no confidence from the English department and a statement from Faculty Council expressing “deep concern” about university leadership.

Loftin’s removal came at the heels of the Concerned Student 1950 protests, but the motives behind wanting Loftin gone went far beyond his handling of race relations at MU. The deans said Loftin failed as a leader in many ways, including the controversy surrounding graduate health insurance, the elimination of the vice chancellor for health sciences position and the firing of the medical school dean.

In the letter, the deans also claimed Loftin created a “toxic environment through threat, fear and intimidation.”

When MU’s relationship with Planned Parenthood was brought into question by legislative bully Kurt Schaefer, Loftin caved.

University Hospital ended “refer and follow” privileges and around the same time, Loftin agreed to the immediate cancellation of 10 contracts with Planned Parenthood for nursing and medical students to complete clinical hours at its health care facilities.

Loftin’s mishandling of the controversy surrounding Planned Parenthood earned him a great deal of resentment from the faculty — and rightly so. If Loftin wasn’t willing to defend MU from Schaefer’s attacks, he had no business leading the state’s flagship university.

The main takeaway is this: It’s one thing to have a handful of faculty members despise you. It’s an entirely different thing when nearly all of MU’s faculty is calling for your removal. For all of these reasons and more, Loftin’s tenure as chancellor was inevitably doomed to fail.

Fundraising: B One of Loftin’s greatest strengths as a chancellor was his ability to fundraise for MU. During Loftin’s tenure, MU broke its annual fundraising record of $160.5 million, set in 2008, by raising $164.5 million in 2014. Loftin, in cooperation with Vice Chancellor for Advancement Tom Hiles, also spearheaded the largest capital campaign in MU’s history, “Mizzou: Our Time to Lead.”

In many ways, Loftin’s appearance and behavior was geared toward fundraising.

His social media feed was tailored at times to prospective students and alumni donors rather than the students currently attending MU. Faculty Relations: F It’s no secret that Loftin has struggled greatly in working with MU’s faculty.

Although this category is somewhat difficult to measure because we’re on the outside looking in, the faculty’s resentment toward Loftin largely speaks for itself.

his senior season. Sam later became the first openly gay player selected in the NFL Draft.

Just this month, he supported his team when over 30 of his black players decided to boycott the football program until former UM System President Tim Wolfe resigned. The day after the initial announcement on Twitter, a photo of the Missouri football team standing in support of the protests was tweeted out on Pinkel’s account.

“The Mizzou Family stands as one,” Pinkel said in the tweet. “We are united.

We are behind our players.”

As Pinkel bids coaching farewell, his impact on Missouri football and MU as a whole will never be forgotten. Just as the coach always says, no excuses.

Weatherspoon, Jeremy Maclin, Markus Golden, Shane Ray and so many others speak for themselves. Pinkel is all about bringing his players to their athletic peak while also making them responsible and unique adults.

Even while Pinkel’s era wasn’t free of controversy (see the numerous allegations against wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham, the sexual assault accusations made against Derrick Washington, his own DWI arrest, etc.), he has managed to maintain a largely positive image for himself and the program.

Through all the controversy, Pinkel’s loyalty and fatherly attitude toward his players has resulted in an unexpected era of social progressiveness that has drawn both positive and negative attention to Mizzou.

For example, he stood by defensive end Michael Sam when he came out as gay to the Missouri football team before

During that time, they only won more than 10 games once. Since Pinkel became head coach, they had five seasons with more than 10 wins.

He’s the winningest coach not only at Mizzou, but also at Toledo. Pinkel has received numerous awards, but perhaps the most notable was 2014 SEC Coach of the Year. Pinkel has also sent seven players to the NFL as first-round picks since 2009, with scores of others players following suit in later rounds.

But Pinkel’s impact goes far beyond statistics. He’s known and beloved as being an exemplary manager of people.

Pinkel’s philosophy of coaching revolves around the concept of family. His team is, and has always been, a family.

The Pinkel philosophy focuses on the development of people, and it’s become the calling card of the Missouri football program and the athletic department as a whole. The production of brilliant student athletes like Sean

By the gates of Memorial Stadium stands a statue of Don Faurot, the famed football coach and player whose impact on Mizzou Athletics is still visible today.

Now, with the retirement of coach Gary Pinkel at the end of this season, we think another statute should be erected for the man who has had the greatest impact on MU since Faurot.

In Pinkel’s 15 seasons with MU, he has meticulously built up a program that was previously downtrodden and littleknown into one of the most successful in the country. He saw the program go from a team struggling for bowl games to a regular contender for conference championships. Pinkel undoubtedly paved Missouri’s way to the Southeastern Conference, which has had an immense impact on the university in general.

As far as statistics go, Pinkel’s time as head coach has been clearly successful.

Missouri football played 110 seasons prior to Pinkel’s time as head coach.

MU's black community stands strong KENNEDY JONES

These past couple weeks have been tumultuous. After winning the ultimate victory of UM System President Tim Wolfe's resignation and the surprise of former Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin’s resignation shortly afterward, I thought we were on a high and felt as if nothing could touch the black community here at MU. But the night brought a new terror that I had never felt before. Indeed it felt like a race war: There were reports of black people chased in parking lots, people shot in the parking lot with a pellet gun, two active shooting threats geared toward black students, sightings of the KKK in Greektown and bricks being thrown at dorms. The black students quickly came together, evacuating black students that live on campus and creating safe houses, some 15 deep with on-campus-living students. I have never been more scared in my life.

In the morning after that torturous night, I woke up having to walk holding hands into my dorm. Many black students turned to the Gaines/Oldham Black Culture Center for shelter during the day and escorted each other to get food, to attend classes, to take exams and to return to their dorms. The interviews were endless and phones continued to go off as concerned family members found out the danger their family was in on this campus. For days, I had to convince people that I was fine and would not transfer. A race war, that what it felt like we were in.

Ever since that night, I walk around campus constantly looking over my shoulder, or staring into the white faces of my classmates and wondering if maybe it was them who wanted to hurt me.

Being on MU's campus has really opened my eyes to the value I have to other people, as if my life and body is nothing more than a vessel to direct their hate.

But I will not be intimidated by your prejudice presence on my campus. College is a place to be educated, and I will educate you with my determination to stay here and make a difference. Concerned Student 1950 wasn't a moment, it is a movement, and it will not be dispersed that easily.

You will continue to be uncomfortable, and hopefully after these four years of you and me together on this campus, you'll be educated and comfortable and I will have done my job as a black student on this campus. Open your eyes because I am just as important as you, I work just as hard and just as long and yet you want me gone. Is it because I intimidate you? Listen, my blackness is important and it is beautiful and you will not bully me into thinking otherwise. You want to pull the black community apart and break our determination, but your ignorance has only made this black community stronger.

LETTER TO THE Editor

Episodes of race-baiting disgusting Dear Editors: Recent episodes of race-baiting at Speakers Circle disgusted me, as they did many at Mizzou. I am referring specifically to the sign-carrying outsiders who taunted our students and told them repeatedly to “repent.”

To those who would race bait, shout racial slurs or engage in any other sort of hateful discourse that detracts from the conversation our country, state and campus need to have: you ought to be ashamed.

To the students who screamed at the race baiters that they were not welcome at Mizzou, that they were infringing on a space that wasn't theirs: I feel for you and am as angry as you.

To the Mizzou community as a whole, however, I want to offer some advice from one of my literary heroes that has helped me lately. In his Kenyon College commencement address, now called "This is Water," David Foster Wallace suggests that in order to deal with the frustrations unique to modern life

we need to follow the old liberal arts cliché and “learn how to think.”

Wallace says that learning how to think “really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience … You get to consciously decide what has meaning and what doesn't.”

Inherently, we have to make limiting choices in navigating a cacophonous media landscape, and we should all be more selective in what we devote our sacred attention to know some people who have said that social media has only made them feel bad lately, and have been on a cleanse. With social media in particular, it is too easy for people to post things that are meaningless. It is especially easy to spout hate speech from behind a keyboard. Yet even publications I respect have published some utter pablum in the media firestorm that has engulfed our campus. I submit

that most of what you can read or watch or listen to out there right now is garbage, and bad for you.

I'm challenging us all to continue participating in the conversation, but to do so in a way that is more substantial. This week, I'm going to read Ta-Nehisi Coates' "Between the World and Me." The few hours spent reading this important text on race in America will be more meaningful than a few hours spent reading Facebook or the average blogpost. I am looking forward to being in Coates' mind in a way that's more intimate than in some quickly-written post meant to get hate clicks. Wallace would agree.

Let's engage in the cultural the discourse in a greater way. The racebaiting "discourse" at Speakers Circle lately is not worth any of our time.

With sincerity, Anthony Meyer First-year MU law student ajmt37@mail.missouri.edu

the millennial

The fight against terrorism is global issue LILY CUSACK I was too young to remember what happened during 9/11. Sure, I have fuzzy memories of the day like many of my peers. But I do not remember the fear. I do not remember watching the TV as 3,000 people died in front of my eyes. I do not remember being scared in my own country, my own town, my own home. I do not remember the absolute terror that gripped a nation and continues to do so 14 years later.

However, since Nov. 13, I have a clearer understanding of what the rest of the world went through watching 9/11 occur as I watched Paris fall into chaos.

I learned about the Paris attacks almost immediately after. As soon as everyone got wind of what was happening, French flags and symbols were strewn all over social media feeds and news applications. From French flag filters on Facebook to safety checks for people in Paris, the world was on high alert. Anyone who was anyone in politics made a public statement, and countries offered full-fledged support of France by lighting up their famous landmarks in the colors of the French flag. Meanwhile, the Eiffel Tower fell dark.

The horrific event lasted just about three hours in total, culminating in seven different attacks by at least seven terrorists. According to The Telegraph, current figures put the death toll at 129 with 352 others injured and 99 critically injured. Eighty-nine of those deaths occurred at the Bataclan concert venue, where the gunmen held 1,500 concert-goers hostage for about

2 hours and 40 minutes.

As the weekend passed, the Paris hysteria didn’t die down. More and more political leaders made speeches in solidarity with the people of France.

Some U.S. presidential candidates, like Hillary Clinton, made powerful statements vowing to defeat ISIS. Sen. Ted Cruz blamed President Obama for weak foreign policy while Donald Trump and Sen. Marco Rubio emphasized the need for tougher leadership.

But I soon began to notice the glaring discrepancies and hypocrisies the Western world was perpetuating by supporting France in this manner. We have failed to give this kind of support to the many countries in the Middle East experiencing similar events on a daily basis.

Just last Thursday, a day before the Paris attacks, Beirut suffered double suicide bombings in an openair market, which detonated within 490 feet of each other and lasted for five minutes, according to CNN. The bombings killed 43 and wounded another 239, while damaging four nearby buildings. A suicide bomber who survived the attack by failing to detonate his vest said he was an ISIS recruit.

Yet, the world barely took notice. No countries lit up their monuments with the Lebanese flag. Social media did not buzz with news and filters. Political leaders were not vocalizing support to the Lebanese government and their citizens. If our government wants to denounce terrorism and offer a helpful hand in defeating forces like ISIS, we have to do it to all countries that suffer from terroristic acts, not just Western

ones.

Some of the remarks made by political leaders have been somewhat disappointing as well. Trump said in an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Monday that he would be willing to shut down mosques because “some of the hatred — the absolute hatred — is coming from these areas.”

Republican governors in some states have also already closed their borders to incoming Syrian refugees following the Paris attacks.

Although the attacks in Paris are deeply disturbing and immensely disheartening, they should not be a reason to foster the idea of Islamophobia. An ABC poll has showed that in the U.S., Islamophobia is on the rise since 9/11. According to FBI statistics, anti-Islamic hate crimes jumped 1600 percent after 9/11.

There is a very strong chance that many statistics such as these will be replicated around the world after the Nov. 13 attacks. That’s just what ISIS wants: for the world to be so terrified that they turn against their own innocent citizens.

The attacks in Paris once again frightened the world to the core. The senseless terrorism that occurs today should be condemned in all respects.

However, the Western world also has to acknowledge the struggles that those in the Middle East face with the same terror. The New York Times quoted the words of Nour Kabbach, a humanitarian aid in Beirut, stating “... ask yourself what it would be like to have to explain to your child why an attack in ‘another pretty city like yours’ got worldwide attention and your own did not.”

‘The Peanuts Movie’ is made with love BOBBY CERESIA I was feeling quite conflicted going into “The Peanuts Movie.” The animation company behind the film, Blue Sky Studios, isn’t known for producing the best computer-animated films out there — see all the endless “Ice Age” sequels and “Rio 2.” Their films tend to focus on the annoying kids movie gags, like fart jokes or someone getting kicked in the nuts. There are only so many films that can rely on cartoon characters stepping in poop for laughs.

At the same time, I grew up on Charles Schulz’s “Peanuts” television specials and cartoon strips. I have fond memories watching Charlie Brown, Linus, Snoopy and all the rest of the beloved characters celebrate Christmas, go trick-or-treating and just live their quirky little lives. I remember my elementary school music teacher playing Vince Guaraldi’s iconic jazzy songs on the piano during class and everyone would dance along.

That is why I am ecstatic to say that “The Peanuts Movie” is Blue Sky Studios’ best film to date, and it does a wonderful job capturing the spirit of its source material.

Rather than a single story, there are several segments spanning from a snow day in winter to summer vacation. A new girl moves into town, and Charlie Brown is instantly infatuated. He tries to impress her at the talent show, at the school dance and by writing an incredible book report on “War and Peace.” Splitting up his attempts to impress the new girl are wonderful slapstick action sequences by Snoopy and Woodstock, where Snoopy daydreams about flying his doghouse like a plane in a battle against the Red Baron.

Vendors sell a wide range of homemade goods at the Columbia Farmers Market on West Ash Street. The market is open year-round in locations across the city.

Local farmers market celebrates Thanksgiving Columbia Farmers Market offers locally grown produce, meats and fresh baked goods in their first ever Thanksgiving-themed food market.

BIANCA RODRIGUEZ Staff Writer We live in a country that is becoming more aware of what it eats — despite being one of the fattest countries in the world, America is trying to be more health conscious.

Just ask big names such as Chipotle, which recently became the first restaurant

chain to totally get rid of genetically modified organisms in their foods in 2015, and with stores like Whole Foods open across in the nation, it’s easier than ever to eat well.

Columbia has a farmers market that has been around since the 1980s. The market meets every Saturday between the months of April and November at the Activity and Recreation Center, and then switches locations in early November to the Parkade Center for the fall and winter months.

Over the past couple of years, the Columbia Farmers Market has experienced amazing growth, with customer counts regularly surpassing 4,000 per week and vendor membership expanding to include nearly 80 local farmers, producers and artisans.

For the first time ever, the Columbia Farmers Market is having a Thanksgiving-

themed market — the organization hopes to gain community support in this endeavor as well as educate buyers on the seasonality of food, especially around the holidays.

Buyers at the market can expect to see fresh produce, cheese, meats, baked goods and canned goods vendors. Customers will be able to find items such as sweet potatoes, winter squashes, tomatoes, greens and lettuces, beef, chicken, lamb, eggs, cheese, breads and pies.

All vendors at the market are required to be from a 50-mile radius, and they all have to be producers, which means that whoever is selling the product either grew or raised it themselves.

Corrina Rhea Smith, the market manager for the past three years, says the themed shopping experience offers vendors the opportunity to have one more market to sell

their items and gives shoppers the chance to have fresh items for Thanksgiving.

As the market continues to grow in numbers, the group has adopted a program called Access to Healthy Foods. With this program the market gives families on food stamps or WIC with young children $25 to spend at the market once a week. This program will be available for the Thanksgiving market for shoppers who need it.

“It’s kind of helping everyone,” Smith says.

“You’re getting that healthy fresh food into the homes of families that really need food, and it’s also helping increase our local farmers’ sales.”

You can catch the Thanksgiving-themed farmers market 3-7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 24 at the Parkade Center. They accept all major credit/ debit cards and cash.

TALK TV TO ME

Jennifer Morrison kills her role in ‘Once Upon a Time’ GABRIELA VELASQUEZ

After stumbling in the latter half of its last season, “Once Upon a Time” has found its footing again, and found it with flair. Now in the middle of its sixth season, the modern fantasy series is more engaging than ever, in large part due to the brilliant character work of leading actress Jennifer Morrison as Emma Swan.

I won’t even attempt to fully recap the past four years in the not-so-quiet town of Storybrooke, Maine. But here’s the main thing you should know: Everyone in this show is related.

Emma Swan herself is the daughter of Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Prince Charming (Josh Dallas). Her son Henry’s (Jared Gilmore) adopted mother is the Evil Queen, Regina Mills (Lana Parilla), who is also Snow White’s stepmother. Henry’s father is the offspring of Rumpelstiltskin (Robert Carlyle), who happens to be the “beast” involved in

a very complicated romance with yes, Belle (Emilie De Ravin). Oh, and Emma’s current love interest? The most dashing variation of Captain Hook (Colin O’Donoghue) to ever exist.

This is all very broad; I highly suggest catching up on Netflix.

One of “Once Upon a Time’s” biggest draws is also one of its greatest weaknesses: the introduction of classic Disney characters.

“Once Upon a Time” is built around its core characters: Emma, Henry, Snow White, Prince Charming, Regina, Hook, Rumpelstiltskin and Belle. Its ensemble is incredibly talented, but with a lot of characters comes the risk of too many stories and leaving certain characters’ progressions behind.

“Once Upon a Time” has introduced many Disney characters during its run so far, including Elsa and Anna from “Frozen,” Peter Pan, Mulan, Ariel and several more. And these characters are not merely making cameo appearances: Peter Pan was the primary antagonist of the first half of the third season.

Elsa and Anna were the center of the first half

of the fourth season. This season introduced Merida and Merlin.

However, because of this constant influx of new characters who require their own backstories and subplots, the core characters are often the ones who suffer. We don’t get to watch their journeys because we’re so distracted by the stories of the new characters.

This season, “Once Upon a Time” went back to basics. In a thrilling twist, Emma sacrificed herself for her family by becoming the Dark One herself, absorbing Rumpelstiltskin’s dark magic into herself.

The Savior is now the Dark One, and the hero of the show has become the villain.

It’s freaking awesome.

Morrison is doing some of the best work of her career as the “Dark Swan.” In past seasons, Emma has been portrayed as closed-off but endlessly compassionate and loyal. Now, with dark magic living inside her, Morrison’s portrayal has transformed. Everything about Emma is different, yet the same. Morrison’s eyes glint instead of sparkle, her smiles are a little tighter, her walk more deliberate. Even

her voice is lower, a menacing lower octave.

Additionally, without too many new characters being brought in, the writers have been able to step back and examine the wonderful characters we have spent years getting to know. Emma’s fall into darkness provides the perfect platform for examining her motivations and emotions. Funny enough, as the Dark One, she is more open than she ever was before, expressing suppressed emotions with brutal ease.

But one of the most inspired performances other than Morrison’s must be O’Donoghue’s.

Hook, who found redemption in his love for Emma, is now on the opposite end of the spectrum. The woman he loves is now plummeting into darkness, and he is caught between trying to save everyone from her and Emma from herself. O’Donoghue’s eyes are expressive, filled with pain, and every word he says tugs at the audience’s heartstrings.

The “Once Upon a Time” I love is back. I’m so excited for the rest of this season. It’s sure to be positively magical.

Justin Bieber grows up with ‘ Purpose’ 1D’s fifth album introduces new sound BIANCA RODRIGUEZ Staff Writer

BIANCA RODRIGUEZ Staff Writer One Direction — or as I like to now call the band, Four White Guys, due to the absence of Zayn Malik since March — released their fifth studio album titled “Made in the A.M.” on Nov. 13.

This will be the group's last album before it takes a long hiatus as a result of its past five years of constant touring and album releases. This break is long overdue, and as much as I hate to admit it, parts of the album show it.

The album opens up with the song “Hey Angel,” which displays similar vibes to The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony.” It’s one of my favorite songs on the album because of its rocklike vibe as well as Harry Styles’ solo during the chorus.

You start to see the album follow the style of folk-rock songs that were in the previous album “Four.” Tracks like “Never Enough” and “Olivia” are songs you’d listen to around a campfire with your friends near the end of summer.

“Olivia” itself is very Beatles-like with its use of an acoustic guitar throughout the song.

If you’re interested in a good cry, the song “If I Could Fly,” written by Styles, fits the bill. As I continue to listen to the song, it constantly reminds me

of the first 30 seconds of “Live and Let Die” by The Wings with its steady single use of piano keys.

Then again, if you just want to cry just because a song is so awful, give “End of the Day” a spin. The verses don’t follow the chorus at all, and the entire melody of the song changes when the chorus comes around, leaving you wondering if Kidz Bop produced it. The song also features a Louis Tomlinson solo we really didn’t need or want to listen to.

One of the highest points of the album besides “Hey Angel” is “What a Feeling,” written by Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne, which highly resembles a Fleetwood Mac tune. The song features the same drum beat we have come to know in some of Fleetwood Mac’s songs such as “Dreams” and “Seven Wonders,” yet what makes the song is the harmonies shared between the group during the chorus.

As a One Direction fan for the past five years, I’m satisfied but not blown away. Don’t get me wrong: I’m always rooting for One Direction, but “Made In the A.M.” feels forced and unwanted.

Hopefully, the break that awaits One Direction will give the group’s members time to properly grow not only as individuals but also in their musical inspiration.

MOVE gives “Made In the A.M.” three and a half of five stars.

MOVE gives “Purpose” four out of five stars.

Personally, I think Justin Bieber is a shithead.

Now, his new album? It’s not shithead material.

“Purpose,” which is Bieber’s senior studio album after an almost twoyear hiatus from the music industry, is a change of sound from his previous albums. He’s “Sorry” for his past endeavors and wants to start anew.

Here’s what Bieber accomplished during his recent span of one week in Europe: He walked out on a live performance after one of his fans spilled something on stage and blocked performer from trying to mop it up, then later in the week flipped a chair and stormed out of a restaurant, and followed it all up by storming out of a live radio interview.

The thing is, it doesn’t matter if you’re not a good person — you can still make enjoyable music, and that’s exactly what Bieber does on “Purpose.”

The album from start to finish sounds as if Bieber went to a summer camp hosted by The Weeknd and Skrillex, as it has an R&B and EDM type of flow.

Upon originally hearing singles “What Do You Mean” and “Sorry,” I

truly thought Bieber was staying only in the pop category with this new album, until I heard “I’ll Show You.” “I’ll Show You” is a dark and moody sort of tune — it’s something you would expect from The Weeknd. In the chorus, it displays elements of a pop song, but the rest of the song is more downcast — it’s exactly something I’d listen to while driving in the rain in order to feel more dramatic.

One of my favorites songs from the album and a definite high point is the tune “Love Yourself.” With songwriting help from Ed Sheeran, Bieber has made the perfect breakup song. The beat is made up of a single electric guitar accompanied by a horn, a style that sounds similar to OMI’s “Cheerleader.”

With lyrics such as “And all the clubs you get in using my name” and “My mama don’t like you and she likes everyone,” it makes you wonder what girl other than Selena Gomez he could be referencing.

“Purpose” could be the turning point for Bieber, and maybe he’s an artist we should take seriously now. Bieber even teamed up with his manager Scooter Braun, as well as “Sorry” video choreographer Parris Goebel to create a 13-part video series (released two days after the album) that illustrates the entire album through dance.

Now that is cool. Nice job, Bieber.

episodes of a television show, with Charlie Brown learning a life lesson after each section: be honest, be determined, do the right thing, etc. But it would have felt weird to see the Peanuts gang focus on just one story for an entire movie’s runtime. I prefer this episodic nature. Schulz thrives on telling little stories, be it in a couple panels of a comic strip or in a 20-minute television special.

It’s thanks to all the quirky characters that this minimalist plot thrives. I had a wonderful time watching all the classic characters bounce off one another in the little moments between the bigger plot setups.

Maybe this is just fan service, but all the classic moments from the cartoon are back in one way or another: Lucy pulling the football out from under Charlie Brown, Lucy giving terrible psychiatric advice for a nickel, and Charlie Brown hopelessly trying to fly a kite.

All the voice actors are actual children, like they were in the past iterations, and they do a delightful job. I can’t put my finger on it, but there’s something much more funny about little kids saying these mature lines than if they had gotten celebrities to do the voice acting. Philosophical ramblings are just funnier when it’s a 5-year-old giving the lines, and Peanuts products old and new thrive off this juxtaposition. The movie also managed to expertly balance melancholic moments with an overall uplifting tone, which Schulz did masterfully in his prime.

The writing is one of the best parts of “The Peanuts Movie” because it appeals to everyone. These kids do not talk like kids; their dialogue is very mature and in some ways more sophisticated than movies intended for adults. I would describe myself as a “childish adult,” and I found the more sophisticated humor equally

So it’s really great for the amount of people that want to volunteer.

It’ll be the best pie you’ll ever have for Thanksgiving.”

Ray Wild, despite sounding like a solo artist, is a four-man band that is made up of MU juniors. Jack Pritchett is lead vocalist, Tyler Stock is on guitar, Ari Shellist is on bass and Tom Hipchen is on drums.

Pritchett, Stock and Shellist all went to the same high school in the northern suburbs of Chicago.

The three friends were all in a band at home, but Ray Wild was really born when Hipchen auditioned to

be their drummer after they came to MU. Although they have been a band for two and a half years (or five semesters in “college talk”), they don’t quite conform to traditional genres. Hipchen described it best.

“We’re a modern take on classic or vintage rock ‘n’ roll,” Hipchen says.

They are influenced by a wide range of musicians including Led Zeppelin, Queen, Pearl Jam and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

During their songwriting process, the band collaborates together to construct their songs. While they sing, you can hear those influences and some funk undertones come into their music.

So far the band has an EP that was released in 2014 and a new single that they dropped in September 2015. You can find all of their music on Spotify and SoundCloud.

They plan to return to the studio in January 2016, but it is still unknown when they will release a

full-length album.

“An album is not in our future right now as far as we know,” Pritchett says. “Our future right now is EPs and singles.”

Although the members of Ray Wild are students, the band is their main focus with their education as a necessary back-up plan.

“Plan A through G is (Ray Wild) and then H is our majors because music only goes to G,” Hipchen says.

as funny as the silly slapstick humor aimed at little kids. Blue Sky Studios had to be careful to make the film both appeal to children and to the adults who grew up on the source material, and it hits the perfect balance.

From an animation standpoint, “ The Peanuts Movie” might have struck gold.

The frame rate is purposefully low at points, which in any other movie would be a sign of lazy animation since computer animation is usually supposed to be flowing and smooth. But that’s not how the original television shorts were made; they were hand-drawn and sketched out frame by frame.

In a way, this slightly choppy animation is paying homage to its origins, and I found the style thoroughly enjoyable. The best comparison I can think of is how in “The Lego Movie,” the animation is meant to look like stop motion to match with the idea of building Legos by hand and setting up these scenes with actual Legos in real life.

The animation also gets a chance to shine in Snoopy’s daydream segments, where he is flying against his archenemy the Red Baron. These scenes feature sweeping landscapes, vivid colors and stylish wide angles to show the dogfight happening in the skies.

Snoopy’s sections take up about a quarter of the movie’s total runtime and always come at just the right time to add some action in the very laidback slice-of-life Charlie Brown sections.

Also of note is the wonderful soundtrack. Christophe Beck, who has done the scores for hundreds of films, did a spoton job capturing the signature jazzy tone of Guaraldi. Slick pianos and soft drums give life and charm to the quieter moments. Some modern music is also included, I assume to appeal to younger kids in the audience, but as far as pop music goes, it’s actually pretty catchy and restrained.

When it comes to complaints, I only have one. The end of the film substitutes the subtlety

of everything prior for a very blatant explanation of the moral. The new girl literally explains to Charlie Brown that because of this, this and this, you’re a good person. I got the message before she stated it outright because, before this, the movie was successfully getting their point across with the show-don’t-tell approach.

It’s not like it brings the whole movie down, but it is disappointing that the film was, in my opinion, flawless until the final few minutes.

Fortunately, the credits have funny and clever extra scenes that more than make up for the botched ending.

Overall, “ The Peanuts Movie” is a film clearly made

Offense gives MU hope for season The Tigers are putting up offensive numbers unforeseen at the beginning of the year.

TYLER KRAFT Staff Writer In the mid-2000s, the Phoenix Suns were the most prolific team in all of basketball.

Led by Steve Nash, the Suns averaged 110 points per game, which led the NBA for that season.

Phoenix’s offensive motto was “Seven Seconds or Less.”

The term meant that if everything went to plan, the Suns would score within a seven-second time period every time they controlled the ball.

It appears that Kim Anderson and the Missouri Tigers are trying to mimic the Suns early on in their 2015-16 campaign.

Despite being just three regular season games and an exhibition game behind them, Mizzou is averaging 78.5 points per game.

That is 18 more points than it averaged last season.

The Tigers entered the season unsure of where scoring would come from. They lost two of their top three scorers from the 2014-15 season Johnathan Williams III and Montaque GillCaesar to transfers. Together, that pair averaged 21 points per game, which was more than a third of Missouri’s total offense.

To make up for the loss in individual scoring, the Tigers have implemented a new, high powered and teamwork-based offense. With at least two freshmen starting in each of

SPORTS

Missouri’s games, Anderson has tried to help his young players out by creating an offense that will give his team easy scoring opportunities.

“We have some guys that can push the ball and more than just one,” Anderson said. “We have some guys who can score.”

The key to the fast-paced offense is freshman point guard Terrence Phillips. Phillips leads the Tigers by always playing with a high level of energy, which inspires his team to work at a high rate.

“The freshmen are energy guys,” Anderson said. “It starts with (Phillips). He’s obviously an enthusiastic guy.”

Phillips wants this year’s team to be different from the Missouri team that finished 9-23 last season. Whereas last year’s team relied on one or two players each game, Phillips wants to make sure the entire team is involved.

“We feel like, the faster we can play with (the team we have), the faster we can just get out and go, (will help us) be in it every night,” Phillips said.

Phillips keeps his teammates involved on the breaks, picking apart the opposing defense with precise passes. He is currently leading the team in assists, averaging 2.75 per game.

The production from the offense is contagious when it comes to the other aspects of the Missouri game plan. The Tigers bring the same pace to their defense, always pressing the player with the ball and creating turnovers that lead to more fast break points.

Women’s basketball dominates UAPB 85-34

LEXI CHURCHILL Staff Writer

After an intense pre game pumpup video, the team’s slogan flashed on the screen: Our Town, Our Team.

In the Missouri women’s basketball team’s first home game against Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Monday, that’s just what they defended.

Out of the gate, Mizzou’s offense was slightly slow as both teams remained in single digits for the majority of the first quarter.

But where Mizzou’s shooting was lacking, their breakaways were productive, scoring half their points off of turnovers.

With Mizzou in the lead of 16-11, the quarter ended with an UAPB airball.

That airball set the pace for the next quarter. Whatever jitters might have been left on the Mizzou side vanished as they scored 31 points.

It was the freshmen that got

things going. Halfway through the second quarter, freshmen Sophie Cunningham and Cierra Porter combined accounted for half of the Tigers’ points. At one point, Cunningham rebounded a UAPB missed three pointer and stood for a few seconds in confusion. Then, even with nine other players in front of her, she was able to take it all the way in for a layup, untouched. The dominance was obvious.

The more the team shared the ball, the further their lead extended.

And by the end of the half, that lead was extended to 26 as the team entered the locker room up 47-21.

This command continued in the third quarter as the team’s scrappy steals propelled them to a 40-point lead. UAPB only scored four points.

By the start of the fourth, the entire bench had seen playing time — a testament to the team’s depth. And with depth comes accountability.

“I think it does hold us

accountable, but we talk about it as a good thing being able to sell out for the moments we’re in because you know there’s a teammate waiting to pick up where you left off and vice-versa,” sophomore forward Bri Porter said. “There is accountability but it also gives us the freedom to play as hard as we can, no holding back.”

By then, the bench’s 56 points

racked up Mizzou’s lead to an insurmountable amount. For every basket UAPB made, Mizzou seemed to make a few.

With a decisive final score of 85-34, the team indeed established their slogan, defending their town and team because a Mizzou victory goes far past an individual’s outcome.

“Sacrifice the back of the jersey

for what's on the front,” coach Robin Pingeton said. “The normal thing to do is to focus on how many minutes I play and how many points I have, but in the big picture, they’re going to forget that and what they’re going to remember is the sister to the right and the sister to the left and just the experiences that we have together as a team.”

Undergraduate experience brings SID opportunity Oldenburg takes on his fifth sport in three years.

LEXI CHURCHILL Staff Writer He sits behind his computer, fingers fumbling and mouth muttering stats to his co-worker beside him as the volleyball game unfolds in front of him.

Multitasking simply comes with the territory.

Sports Information Director Andy Oldenburg is a newcomer to the Missouri volleyball team this year, but his familiarity with Mizzou and the sports programs dates back much further.

As a business management student, Oldenburg was a little bit out of place in the Mizzou Athletics Strategic Communications office while working as a student assistant years ago. But his love for sports propelled him past the journalism and communications students who worked the same position.

After three years of making connections and moving up in the office, Oldenburg went on to earn his master’s degree from Maryville University, then promptly moved to Nevada for his first major sports gig with the Reno Aces, a triple-A baseball team.

“If I didn’t have that student assistant experience, I think I’d have no chance of getting a job in sports,” Oldenburg said.

“I definitely think that’s the reason why I got the job out of college.”

His employment with the Aces was seasonal, so his job hunt began once again. And back to his alma mater he looked.

They remembered him.

With an associate position opening in his old office, Oldenburg went through

the application process once again and snagged the job at MU, requiring him to move back almost immediately.

He started as an associate with the gymnastics team in 2013, then moved to wrestling and tennis the following year.

At last, this year, he officially became a full-time SID, taking on volleyball and softball.

“Even though we’ve only known him a few months, I feel like he fits right into our volleyball family,” senior hitter

Regan Peltier said.

Although he’s been a part of five different programs at Mizzou, he said his day-to-day duties have remained the same: hectic.

“I would say the craziest thing about my job is just how many texts and emails I get everyday,” Oldenburg said.

“No matter how early or how late — whether it’s from my coaching staff, whether it’s from my student athletes.”

Given the strenuous commitment,

Oldenburg says he will likely have to move on if a wife and kid are in his future. But for now, he’s just having too much fun.

“I haven’t yet really used my business degree but I think that could come in handy down the road,” Oldenburg said. “I will get out of sports but that’s probably not going to be for a long time just because I love it so much right now.”

Mizzou volleyball team is more than just coaches and players “I knew I wanted to stay involved in volleyball, just because I was so close to playing in college,” Koetter said. “I wanted it to still be in my life. It’s really fun seeing people grow as players.

They’re like your family.”

As practice players, Koetter and Vogel aren’t able to travel with the team because of NCAA regulations. But they are vital in their role on the team — they help run and participate in drills, scrimmage, set up equipment and do anything else the coaches need.

The second half of the behindthe-scenes crew consists of managers Connor Gregston and Josh Stephens.

Unlike practice players, they are allowed to travel with the team. They also take statistics during games and help prepare equipment for practices.

A longtime Mizzou fan, Gregston grew up around volleyball due to his sisters playing competitively. After participating in both swimming and volleyball in high school, he decided to attend MU instead of swimming in college. When he found an opportunity to get involved with the volleyball team, he took advantage of it.

For Gregston, a sophomore, being able to travel is one of the best parts of being a manager.

“We’ve gone all over the country,” Gregston said. “It’s been really cool to see all the campuses and different SEC

“They’re part of our program just like the players,” Kreklow said. “We’ve been really lucky because these guys have really done a great job,” Not only do the four of them make the coaches’ lives easier, but they improve the players’ lives as well. Their presence on and off the court is equally as strong.

“Even when we have off days and we all want to hangout with each other, they’re there with us,” senior hitter Regan Peltier said. “We enjoy having them around because they make us better and I’m so thankful that we have them. They’re some of the best guys ever.”

schools.”

Like his fellow manager, Stephens also was a multi-sport athlete. After playing soccer for a few years in high school, he switched over to volleyball and learned to love the game.

“In high school, I really loved the sport,” Stephens said. “I wasn’t ready to give it up. So when I had the opportunity to come here, I took full advantage.”

It’s all of the little things each of these four do that helps keep the team running smoothly. From shagging balls to filming video, they’re there for whatever the coaches need. And it doesn’t go unnoticed.

On first glance at the bench during a Missouri volleyball game, you’ll see 15 girls in uniform, the coaches and four guys in black and gold gear who are tracking every play.

Those four additional members are the behind-the-scenes assistants for Mizzou’s volleyball program: the practice players and the managers.

“Those guys, they do a ton of stuff for us that is really helpful,” coach Wayne Kreklow said. “Things that usually nobody sees. The assisting on a daily basis with a whole number of things that would be really hard to do without them.”

Half of these assistants are the practice players, seniors Derek Koetter and Brendan Vogel.

After playing volleyball in high school, Koetter had to pick between playing volleyball at a smaller Division II college or attending a big school and getting the atmosphere he wanted.

Mizzou happened to be the best of both worlds.

“Coming into the season, we know we are an undersized team,” Phillips said.

Anderson is in agreement with Phillips. He has been preaching quick ball movement throughout the season.

“I don’t mind them pushing the ball, I think we have to,”

Anderson said. “I think our size dictates that we need to try to play a little bit faster than we did a year ago.”

The success of the scrappy team will undoubtedly come down to its tempo. Anderson knows that the Tigers will need to improve their pace as they

move forward, but for now, there is nothing that he can frown upon.

“You just have to hope that continues,” Anderson said. “You have to put that performance together 30 or more times, so hopefully we keep doing that.”

Rock Bridge going into the state championship meet.

“That really got the team going …” Greg Rhodenbaugh said. “ That gives them confidence going into the state meet.”

When Rock Bridge got to state, they took care of business.

The Bruins finished over 100 points ahead of second-place Hickman.

Greg Rhodenbaugh had to miss the state preliminary races Nov. 6 because of a Mizzou meet. But since the Saturday portion of Mizzou’s meet was in the morning, the coach was able to make it to St. Peter’s for Saturday’s state finals.

“On Friday, he wasn’t there, so I didn’t hear him,” Caleb Rhodenbaugh said. “And then on Saturday, I would walk out, and I’d just hear this, ‘All right, let’s go, Caleb. Come on.’ And I

would look up, and it’s my dad.”

Josh and Caleb are the sixth and seventh of eight children.

Their younger brother, Timmy Rhodenbaugh, is a freshman cross-country runner for Rock Bridge.

Even with their father’s position, the Rhodenbaugh brothers said having a swim coach as a dad does not give them added pressure.

“We know that it’s not exactly pressure to just do swimming, but we also know that he’s always there in case we do need help to get better,” Josh said. “And he has given us help sometimes.”

Other than Timmy, all the Rhodenbaugh siblings have tried competitive swimming.

Courtney Rhodenbaugh was the only one who swam at the collegiate level, competing for Nebraska and Mizzou.

Michael Rhodenbaugh, now a freshman in college, helped Rock Bridge to a second place finish at state in 2014. He also finished sixth in the 100-yard breaststroke, the same event Josh and Caleb specialize in.

Greg Rhodenbaugh said there was certainly an element of competition between his sons.

“There was no doubt in my mind that Caleb was shooting to go faster than Michael, and there was no doubt in my mind that Josh was trying to go faster than three of his older brothers” Greg Rhodenbaugh said. “It’s kind of fun to just watch them, in a healthy way, rib each other and get each other going and then compliment each other on how awesome they did after the fact.”

Other than Courtney, none of the Rhodenbaugh children

have ever swum year-round.

Caleb also plays basketball and runs track, and Josh works at Chick-fil-A. Although he plans to swim for exercise, Josh is not planning on swimming competitively in college. Caleb is weighing a number of options, including playing basketball at the collegiate level.

For Greg Rhodenbaugh, swimming never stops. For his kids, it’s a three-month season.

And the Mizzou coach has no problem with that.

“I’m just proud of my boys,” Greg Rhodenbaugh said. “That’s the big thing. And really I’m just proud of their hard work, tenaciousness and confidence in themselves and their team.

And that kind of sums it up.”

Josh Rhodenbaugh made the state meet in Rock Bridge’s last regular season meet of the year.

He qualified in the 100-yard breaststroke, clocking in at 1:04.47, only two-hundredths of a second faster than the state qualifying time.

“I’ve never swum at state before and I wanted to do that before I graduated,” Josh said.

“So I was extremely excited to be able to do it at least once.”

Josh had to drop two seconds to notch his place on the Rock Bridge state team. When the senior earned a qualifying time, the team erupted in cheers and rallied around him.

Greg Rhodenbaugh feels that Josh’s swim set the tone for

Mizzou also needs to work quickly in order to minimize its height disadvantage. The average height of the Tigers’ starting five this season is 6-foot-3. For comparison, the average height of the Kentucky Wildcats’ starting five is 6-foot-5.
