The terrorist attacks in Paris on Nov. 13 shook communities around the world to their cores. Auburn was one of those communities.

Suicide bombers and gunmen killed 129 people and injured 352 in a series of six attacks at three locations, including the Bataclan concert hall and the Stade de France soccer stadium. The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Paris native Jérémy Sitbon, who interned with the department of mechanical engineering at Auburn in summer 2014, said his thoughts first went to his friends and family when he heard about the at-

tacks because they occurred close to his family’s house. He said some of his acquaintances were injured or killed that day.

“I can’t understand how people can kill others in that kind of place,” Sitbon said.

“Those are places we used to have a lot of fun.”

Viviane Koua, lecturer in the French department, said her brother, Athanase Koua, as well as his three children Han-

do, Noemi and Rafael Koua, were in the stadium when it was attacked. She said it took approximately four hours to hear from them, during which time, she was “more than terrified.”

“I didn’t even breathe until I reached them,” Koua said.

She said she heard about the attack from another one of her brothers and began frantically calling family members.

“I could not get anybody,” Koua said.

“So I was freaking out.”

She said she called her sister-in-law, who tried to reassure her.

“She said, ‘Just breathe,’” Koua said.

Governor signs order to resist Syrian refugees Jim Little

Editor-in-Chief

Gov. Robert Bentley signed an executive order for state agencies to stop cooperating with the Federal government in settling Syrian refugees in Alabama.

At least 26 other governors have signed similar orders since Bentley’s announcement made national news on Sunday night, Nov. 15.

“The threat posed by the Syrian refugees is real, and as Governor, I cannot expose my fellow Alabamians to the risk of accepting refugees from Syria, whose backgrounds cannot properly be checked to ensure national security,” Bentley said in a statement on Wednesday, Nov. 18.

French authorities believe

the attack was carried out by seven people. Four have been identified as French citizens, two remain unidentified and one was initially identified as a Syrian, but authorities now believe his Syrian passport was fake. Another French citizen was arrested in connection with the attacks, and the chief planner of the attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, is a Belgian citizen.

Abaaoud is still at-large as of Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 18.

Jill Crystal, professor of political science and author of two books on the politics of the Persian Gulf region, said the governor’s policy doesn’t ensure security and may be counterproductive.

SGA and BSU come together at meetings, weigh in on race relations at Auburn Corey Williams Campus Editor

Claire Tully Campus writer

The University of Missouri has been in turmoil since growing racial tensions came to a head a few months ago. Regular classes and activities have been disrupted by protests and threats of violence, while the university president was forced to resign.

The University of Alabama and other institutions have staged similar protests to show their solidarity, and to bring attention to diversity issues on their own campuses.

University President Jay Gogue responded to these events in an email that was sent

to students and faculty Sunday, Nov. 15.

“We would be remiss if we did not take this opportunity to initiate a constructive dialogue about diversity and inclusion,” Gogue wrote. “I believe we must constantly ask ourselves if we as a campus community are living the core values we espouse and whether our culture as a place for learning is one that is built on mutual respect and support.”

The Student Government Association and the Black Student Union made an effort to join forces by attending each other’s meetings on Monday, Nov. 16.

“It is not one organization that is going to this,” said Shan-

I pray that it doesn’t happen. I feel that Auburn has made strides to go past what Mizzou has. But, there are still things we could work on.”

non Arthur, secretary for the College of Democrats. “It’s really us trying to show SGA and all the other organizations that we care about the campus issues that you all are lobbying for.”

During executive announcements, Walker Byrd, SGA president, spoke about issues at the University of Missouri and their relevance at Auburn.

“I just want to thank BSU for being here tonight in light of everything that’s happened at Missouri,” Byrd said. “I think it’s important that we do stand with our friends at Missouri and our friends here at Auburn, knowing that the problems are not unique to Missouri and they happen here as well.”

Byrd asked senate members and other people in attendance

to keep in mind similar issues on campus.

“So just be aware of that, and don’t let it sit lightly on you that these problems are with us too,” Byrd said.

Janeese Hoagland, secretary for the Black Student Union, said she doesn’t think Auburn will reach the level of unrest that Missouri is in.

pen,” Hoagland said. “I feel that Auburn has made strides to go past what Mizzou has. But, there are still things we could work on.”

The Black Student Union and other minority-based organizations have held events aimed at bringing cultures together. However, Hoagland said, usually mostly existing members show up.

“I feel that (the student body) knows there’s a problem but we’re not doing anything about it,” Hoagland said. “We try to break the barriers and have diversity conversations, but you can’t force someone to come to something.”

who fled ISIS and are in this country in a mosque where young men as young men do tend to play occasionally with crazy ideas, they can sit them down and say, ‘ISIS is not what you think. I was there, this is what it’s really like,’” Crystal said.

Crystal said the United States should take in refugees because American actions led to the creation of the Islamic State group, and America has a long history of taking in refugees.

Susan Rashid, graduate student in biology and vice president of public relations for the Muslim Students’ Association, said she is worried the governor’s order encourages a simplistic view of Muslims.

“In the media, (Islam) is just this one big mesh of beliefs, and there’s no teasing apart what’s a cultural norm and what’s really in the religion,” Rashid said.

Benjamin Cole, graduate student in public administration with a focus in conflicts and terrorism, said understanding the motivations for why people would commit acts of terror enables prevention of those acts.

One of the motivations for conducting the attack in Paris could have been to provoke a negative response by the West against Muslims, according to Cole.

“If we continue to make the same mistake of excluding a certain group of people, that plays into (the Islamic State group’s) favor,” Cole said.

Rashid, who was born and raised in California,

said she worries what the governor’s order means for America.

“It’s setting a bad example for people to have this attitude of … shunning people who are different than them,” Rashid said.

Bentley and the other governors have stood firm that Syrian refugees are a security risks after a conference call with President Barack Obama on Wednesday, Nov. 18.

“The acts of terror committed over the weekend are a tragic reminder to the world that evil exists and takes the form of terrorists who seek to destroy the basic freedoms we will always fight to preserve,” Bentley said. “I will not place Alabamians at even the slightest, possible risk of an attack on our people.”

Asim Ali, project manager for University initiatives and adviser to the Muslim Students’ Association, said as a public employee he couldn’t comment on Bentley’s order.

However, he said he hopes people will not lump Muslims together as one group because of the attacks.

“The reality is that (Alabama) faces the same thing [as Muslims],” Ali said. “(Alabamians) get lumped into this gigantic thing of, ‘Oh, you’re from Alabama, so you’re backwards,’” Ali said no matter the outcome Alabama and the South will remain a welcoming place.

“If Syrians come to Alabama, then we know based on the welcoming nature of the Auburn Family that we would welcome Syrian refugees and help them be productive members of society,” Ali said.

Students of all races are allowed to join sororities and fraternities, and some minority students actively participate in Auburn’s Greek Life. But Hoagland said many more don’t feel welcome.

“People are afraid to go to a party,” Hoagland said. “They don’t want to (go through recruitment) because people (in charge) probably won’t let in African-American students.”

Students often say hurtful things without realizing it, Hoagland said. The insults have gotten especially offensive on anonymous apps like Yik Yak. “Sometimes, when we are on the concourse, we’ll see things on Yik Yak that say ‘Oh, look, the monkeys are out again,’” Hoagland said.

Hoagland said she knows comments like these are protected under Freedom of Speech, but it’s important to remember words can hurt people.

These insults don’t discourage members, Hoagland said. In fact, they do the opposite.

The Black Student Union attends the Student Government Association Senate meeting at the Auburn University Student Center on Monday, Nov. 16.

“It fuels a fire,” Hoagland said.

After attending BSU’s meeting, Trey Fields, student affairs committee chair, said he hopes Auburn students can put race, gender and sexual orientation aside to help build community at Auburn.

“We watched some videos of Missouri. Those can be hard

to watch sometimes and there’s a lot of emotions,” Fields said.

“Just love your fellow man, your fellow friend we’re all Auburn students and that’s the one thing we have in common.”

The BSU is not currently planning any protests, according to Hoagland. Instead, it will work with administration to bring change, like mandatory di-

versity lessons in the classroom, to Auburn’s campus.

“We just want to bring awareness to what is happening at Mizzou,” Hoagland said. “There are a lot of people on campus who don’t know what’s going on. Minority students see stuff happening, but other students don’t focus on stuff like that.”

couldn’t focus.”

She said her brother’s family frequents the stadium and they were excited for the game.

“My sister in law told me, ‘As soon as I hear from them, I’ll call you,’” Koua said. “One hour, two hours, three hours, no call. Nothing. I said, ‘That is it. Maybe something happened.’”

Koua said one of her nephews finally called her and said they were all are at their house together.

“One of my nephews called me and said, ‘Auntie, I know that you are freaking out, but I just want to let you know that we all are safe,’” Koua said.

Koua said it was hard for her because she could not do anything besides watch the news during that time.

“But still now we don’t have news f r om som e friends, we are still looking for them,” Koua said.

Koua said her family is physically fine, but they are mad about the situation. She said she is also angry about the suffering.

“I don’t understand why people could get up in the morning and plan to kill,” Koua said.

Koua said she hopes one day, the terrorism will end.

“Killing in the name of God is not the same God we are worshipping,” Koua said.

She said the Islamic State group attacks could cause people to blame Muslims as a whole.

“It’s not all the Muslims who are like that,” Koua said.

“They are suffering too.”

Sitbon, who currently works in the United Kingdom, said all of his friends and family were accounted for within two hours. He said Facebook launching the safety check in Paris helped him quickly see his friends were safe.

“I was very happy about this system, which gives us the possibility to worry less than we would without it,” Sitbon said.

Adrienne Angelo, associate professor of French, said Facebook helped her contact former students who teach English all over France. She said it helped her quickly make sure everyone was safe, including one former student who teaches in a Paris suburb.

She said it was disturbing to her that the attackers targeted civilian places on a Friday night when people would be out and about.

“I really did feel like this was the equivalent of 9/11 for Paris,” Angelo said. “It’s horrifying, just horrifying, to think about.”

Evelyne Bornier, assistant professor of French, has family spread throughout France, including several relatives who live in Paris. She said her “extreme concern” for them turned into relief when they were all accounted for.

“I was relieved for my family, but I’m still thinking about all the other people,” Bornier said. “The people who haven’t found rela-

tives they have been looking for, the people who lost relatives, it’s just horrifying.”

Angelo said the fear from the Paris attacks extends beyond France.

“I think everybody’s really on edge right now,” Angelo said. “One of my friends on Facebook, he was visiting Paris, and he said two days after the attacks, there was a random noise, maybe a car backfired or something, but he said everybody in that cafe just ducked.”

Angelo said she would not go to Paris right now unless she had to for work.

“I would make the best of the situation, carry on, but just be extremely aware of my surroundings, probably even more so than I usually am,” Angelo said.

Angelo said it is important to show support for France because they are a U.S. ally that has similar democratic values.

Posting the “Peace for Paris” sign, created by designer Jean Jullien, or updating profile pictures with French flagthemed filters are two common ways people all over the world can show support for the people of Paris.

“Us showing solidarity for them, it just reflects our support,” Angelo said.

Bornier said she uses her words to support Paris.

She said she will talk to her loved ones there, and has begun writing a poem, titled “Abominable Abomination” in response to the attacks.

She said she is dedicating it to victims of violence all over the world.

“Violence is everywhere, and it’s an abomination,” Bornier said.

Though it has only been a few days since the attacks, Sitbon said he expects the people of Paris to keep going.

“I would expect everybody to heal going forward by joining together,” Sitbon said. “Not stay alone after those events and keep going out.”

Bornier said the people of Paris are resilient in the wake of the attacks.

“I think the word solidarity is on everyone’s lips right now,” Bornier said. “People want to unite in the face of adversity, in the face of what happened. I think what the Parisians are saying now is, ‘We need to live with a capital L. We don’t need to let this defeat us.’”

A helping paw

Student Counseling Services recently hired its first full-time therapy dog K ris M artins

Campus Reporter

He’ll lie at someone’s feet if he senses anger or rest his head in someone’s lap and offer a paw if he sees tears, but he also knows to give people space when they need it.

Moose, a 7-year-old yellow Labrador retriever, works as a full-time therapy dog alongside his principal handler, Katherine Werner, licensed staff psychologist, at the University’s Student Counseling Services.

Moose served as a bomb detection dog with Auburn University Canine Performance Sciences until he retired in May, Werner said.

Moose then joined Student Counseling Services as a therapy dog and began working once the fall semester began.

Student Counseling Services chose to implement dogs for animalassisted therapy because of their reception to emotion, approachability and trainability, according to Werner.

If students are comfortable with having animal-assisted therapy and the counselor determines it’s appropriate for their treatment, Moose will join their session.

Because people sometimes find dogs more approachable than a counselor, Moose can increase their motivation or engagement in counseling, reduce stress and help them feel more emotionally expressive.

Because Moose reflects and responds to the client’s emotion, he can sometimes help the counselor gauge the client’s feelings.

“He can add an element or com-

ponent to therapy that can make it, for some people, more effective,” Werner said. “He’s an element of the existing treatment.”

A typical day for Moose begins with breakfast and a walk before he comes into the office at 8 a.m. like any other staff member.

He attends any staff meetings for the day then gets to work on his appointments, taking two breaks throughout the day for a walk and a 1-hour nap.

On some days, Moose has outreach events, such as Let Loose with Moose, a weekly 1-hour activity where anyone can stop by the third floor of the Student Center and spend time with him.

Denise M. Greer, Student Center business manager with Student Center Operations, said she looks forward to 4 p.m. on Thursday, because she knows Moose will be outside her office when she leaves for the evening.

“Animals can help you relax and deal with the world better,” Greer said. “That’s what Moose does. It makes for a better day. I just love Moose … and he does brighten up the area when he comes over. I’m his biggest fan.”

Moose ends his workdays at 5 p.m. and heads home with Werner.

To be a therapy dog, Moose received specialized training to become registered with Therapy Dogs International, which requires that he stay up to date with his vaccines and instruction, and also participated in an additional obedience training to become an American Kennel Club

Canine Good Citizen.

To train Moose to be obedient in any setting, Canine Performance Sciences simulated medical settings with wheelchairs or loud noises that might be a distraction for a typical dog.

He’s trained to be obedient around children and other animals as well.

However, training him to respond to emotion meant rewarding him when he did it on his own.

“Dogs are intuitively very responsive to emotion,” Werner said. “So the obedience part we train and we practice, but the responding to emotion and laying at someone’s feet or going to them when they’re upset, he does very intuitively, which is very neat to watch.”

Labradors in particular usually serve as therapy dogs because their nature and temperament fit the job and because people perceive them as good dogs, according to William Pope, associate clinical professor of nursing.

Pope, who has three therapy dogs and teaches a course on animal-assisted therapy, coached Student Counseling Services on how to facilitate an environment that encourages the dog to assist with therapy.

“One of the things that psychologists have used in the past is the fact that sometimes it makes the counselor invisible,” Pope said. “It lowers people’s blood pressure. It decreases people’s heart rate.”

Pope said animal-assisted therapy is a progressive and forward-thinking decision by Student Counseling Services.

Christy Stipe / photographer

Moose is a 7-year-old Labrador retreiver.

“I mean, I just think it’s the greatest thing in the world that Auburn University has … a place on campus that our students, as they get help from the counseling center, can actually be a part of animal-assisted therapy here on campus,” Pope said.

Throughout the semester, students have requested that Moose visit other buildings, so Student Counseling

Services is looking for options to expand his outreach, Werner said. In the future, Student Counseling Services is also looking at adding more therapy dogs to the team to reach more people.

“Part of the reason (Moose) is so great is that he’s, at the end of the day, a dog,” Werner said. “People can relate to that.”

Response to “WHAT DO YOU THINK? Gov. Robert Bentley signed an executive order to stop settlement of Syrian refugees in Alabama. Agree?

Disagree? Let us know in the comments.

Gurden smith / illustrator

Don’t repeat history by creating it

Robert Bentley is the second governor to announce his state would not accept refugees.

As the world tried to make sense of the terrible attacks in Paris, Gov. Robert Bentley declared Alabama would not accept refugees from war-ravaged Syria.

Although Bentley was the second governor to make such a declaration, it became national news when he did it.

When the governor of Alabama says he wants to refuse government services to a group of people, it tends to make national news. Twenty-four governors have made the same declaration, but Bentley and Alabama have become the face movement to keep Syrians out of the country.

We call on Bentley to cancel his executive order to state agencies to “prevent the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the State of Alabama.”

Public policy decisions applied to a whole group of people have never gone down in history as a wise decision, and often are the root of the most shameful aspects of Amer-

ican history.

As information continues to be revealed about the attackers in Paris, we have learned most of the attackers were European-nationals, and a Syrian passport found on one of the attackers might not be a real document.

The United States has committed to taking in 10,000 Syrian refugees in 2016. There are 4.2 million registered Syrian refugees, according to the United Nations.

America’s commitment is so small because our program to screen and make sure there are no terrorists posing as refugees is the toughest in the world.

It takes an average of 18 months to make it through the screening process, according to the U.S. Department of State. A process long and thorough enough to discover any forged documents or terrorists connections a person might have.

However, Bentley said in a letter to President Barack Obama that the process was not

good enough because the FBI does not have information on Syrians in its database.

Under Bentley’s logic, the United States could never accept any refugee fleeing from any war-torn state unless the FBI, a domestic law-enforcement agency, has background data on law-abiding foreign nationals.

Over the past three years, 106 refugees from Iraq and 93 refugees from Somalia settled in Alabama, according to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Iraq is the birthplace of the Islamic State terrorists group. Somalia also has large terrorists groups and doesn’t have a real central government to collect data for the FBI. Bentley did not protest their settlement in the state.

To us, it appears Bentley’s and other governors’ executive orders aren’t about keeping their state safe, but about scoring easy political points — a move Alabama governors in the past have become famous for.

Letter to the editor

Active Minds: ‘We are here to collaborate with you’ Alex Hall

It is encouraging to have read articles in The Plainsman that call attention to the cause that will define this generation of college students — mental health awareness and advocacy.

As the University’s main mental health advocacy group on campus that was founded and is organized and run by students, we thought it wise for the student body to hear from us.

In response to the recent dialogue, we simply say that we are in support of any individual or group effort that utilizes the student voice to begin conversations, advocate for resources, and create meaningful changes on campus for the betterment of every Auburn student’s mental health and well-being.

Studies show that campuses with viable and accessible mental health services have increased retention and graduation rates, which increases revenue and prospective student

enrollment.

Such campuses typically experience increases in student satisfaction and academic success, as well as a boost in the university’s reputation and job market success for alumni — which can lead to increased donating on part of alumni.

Thus, it makes sense for all of us — whether directly touched by a mental health concern or not — to rally around this issue.

We recently returned from the Active Minds National Conference, from which we humbly received positive recognition and accolades from the national chapter.

Out of over 400 chapters, our organization was one of 28 to receive “five-star” status (the highest designation bestowed on a chapter).

We also received an award recognizing our fundraising innovation, during which we were lauded for our ability to

collaborate with other campus organizations to raise money for mental health awareness on campus.

We mention these accomplishments here not to brag, but to highlight a major strength of our university.

When our students unite around an issue, we do great things.

For example in the past year, at least 12 Panhellenic organizations volunteered and helped us raise over $23,000 for suicide prevention during October’s Out of Darkness Walk.

Theta Chi worked with us to bring Mental Wealth Week to campus (coming to you again next spring).

Alpha Kappa Alpha chose Active Minds for its philanthropy in its A Meal to Heal event.

The Student Philanthropy Board awarded us a grant, which we used for our “Stress Less Week” event last April.

Quixotes:A historical piece of Auburn Liz Maddux

community writer

It’s been 10 years since college friends Jon Hyink and Chris Godbold opened the Auburn hotspot, Quixotes Bar and Grill. Inspired by the famous Spanish novel, “Don Quixote,” the bar continues to be a place students often go to have a good time.

Hyink and Godbold both came to Auburn from out of state.

“We were no strangers to the downtown scene and enjoyed what it had to offer while we were undergrads,” said Hyink. “Every time we were out with friends, we always mentioned that there was something missing. Right before we graduated, we started throwing around the idea to start our own business.”

Hyink and Godbold both knew the economy wasn’t good at the time, but they figured given their young age, it was as good a time as any to take a risk and go into the business for themselves.

The building Quixotes has been housed in used to be a different bar named Copper Creek.

When the owner of Copper Creek decided to sell the bar, the guys took advantage of the opportunity and decided to make their dreams come true.

“The Quixotes location has been several different bars since the 1980s,” Goldbold said.

“Waldo Peppers, Fink’s, Tigris and Copper Creek Tavern. We have been fortunate to make Quixotes the establishment that has lasted longer than the others.”

Choosing the name for Quixotes was simple, according to Hyink.

“When we were getting ready to open and name the bar, we realized that all the current bars’ names started with the letter B,” Hyink said, “There was Buffalos, Bodega, Bourbon Street and Blue Room. We needed something catchy, so Chris and I, along with our two managers, came up with as many ideas as possible and slowly whittled them down till we all agreed that Quixotes was the best option.”

One of the reasons Quixotes has been so popular is mostly credited to its drink specials. On Wednesday nights, the bar offers $3 32-ounce wells from 5-9 p.m.

The building Quixotes is housed in is also home to the University Inn.

“When we opened Quixotes, we wanted to make an impact and get our name out there as a place for having great specials,” Godbold said.

“And so, the 32-ounce well was born.”

Both Hyink and Godbold agreed that as far as their marketing and idea generation for their specials goes, both guys value the input of their cus-

tomers and employees and their ideas on how Quixotes can continue to provide a multitude of great specials for their customers.

As far as future plans for Quixotes goes, both Godbold and Hyink agreed as long as customers are coming in the door, Quixotes will always be around.

City of Auburn launches interactive map to track construction Chip Brownlee

Community writer

Auburn citizens concerned about the city’s growth rate will now have the opportunity to track all issued building permits on the city’s new interactive construction permit map.

The interactive map, which is available on the city’s website, displays a red pin on every active construction permit in the City of Auburn.

Once an individual permit has been accessed, a collection of basic information and details are shown about the project.

“It’s a great tool for anybody that has any interest in new businesses or new developments happening in the City of Auburn,” said Bill Ham, mayor of Auburn. “It gives anyone that is interested the ability to see just what’s coming to our community and where it’s going to be.”

According to a press release by the city, the interactive map was designed by the city’s IT department as a response to citizens’ requests for more public information on growth and development in Auburn, specifi-

cally the issuance of construction permits.

After plans were made public in October for a new development on the lot currently home to the University Chevron, Auburn locals again took their concerns before the City Council.

Disagreement over a student housing moratorium and the future growth of Auburn has caused a divide in the community over the past year. The half-dozen citizens who took the podium before the council Oct. 20 inaugurated yet anoth-

er round of debate.

One of the major issues for the citizens is a perceived lack of transparency on the part of the City Council and the planning department, according to those who spoke at the meeting.

Several of the citizen speakers even accused the City Council of colluding with the real estate developers responsible for complexes such as 160 Ross and the new development on the corner of Glenn Avenue and College Street.

Ward 5 councilwoman Lynda Tremaine was sympathetic

toward the citizens’ concern for transparency.

“I think there are things that could make this more transparent,” Tremaine said at the meeting. “I looked at Charleston, South Carolina, and their planning department has an interactive map.”

Several of the citizens at the October meeting, which sparked the development of the map, believed the council had knowledge of the University Chevron project before a construction permit was issued.

The city can’t make devel-

opment projects public until a formal request is submitted, according to Charles Duggan, city manager of Auburn. “[An interactive map] wouldn’t necessarily change what we’re hearing,” Duggan said. “Until we were delivered a project, that project didn’t exist.”

The map is now refreshed on a daily basis to include any newly issued permits.

“Something like this would certainly help the public’s opinion,” Tremaine said. “We’re listening.”

A taste of home

Auburn in a Box company ships Auburn goodies to people across the country Alex Wilkerson community writer

There are several experiences in Auburn that for many are essential parts of the Auburn experience. Things such as Toomer’s lemonade or Mike and Ed’s barbecue are a rite of passage for any incoming Auburn student. For alumni, these encounters can bring back many memories from their time at Auburn.

But many alumni have moved far away from Alabama and may not have the opportunity to visit and drink Toomer’s lemonade. A new service called Auburn in a Box is seeking to change that.

Auburn in a Box specializes in Auburn care packages that carry up to five items unique to Auburn.

These items are picked by the customer, and then Auburn in a Box ships the products to them for free.

As well as Toomer’s lemonade and Mike and Ed’s sauce, the service also ships things such as sorority buttons and Big Blue Bagel chips.

Chase Roberson, who founded Auburn in a Box, said he was inspired by the family nature of the city.

“One awesome thing about Auburn is every time you revisit this town you feel right back at home, even if you have been away for years,” Roberson said. “I wanted to provide a service that allows you to get a taste of Auburn no matter where you are.”

Roberson first got the idea for the packages when seeing a blog about a similar product in a different city.

“I did some searching and realized that Auburn did not have anything like this and decided that I wanted to be the one to start it,” Roberson said.

Roberson said the products in the box have been well-received.

“We have received an awesome response from our fans,” Roberson said. “People love when a little taste of Auburn comes to their doorsteps.

We have received great reviews on all the boxes that we have sent out.”

Heather Henslee, whose husband received his master’s degree from Auburn, saw Auburn in a Box on Facebook. She decided to purchase a package for her and her husband’s second anniversary.

“I placed a last-minute order, and the gentleman I worked with was very responsive and

made every effort to make my husband’s gift special,” Henslee said.

Though companies have reached out to work with Auburn in a Box, some have not been made aware of the business’s inclusion of their products. Michael Overstreet, manager at Toomer’s Drugs, said he was unaware that Auburn in a Box was shipping the store’s lemonade.

“I’ve never heard of that,” Overstreet said. “If

he is buying our lemonade he hasn’t discussed shipping it with us. I will have to check that out.”

Roberson plans on branching out his business by offering international shipping and by supporting the community.

“On a more personal note, I am excited about donating to and partnering with local ministries in the area to be able to give back to the community,” Roberson said.

Auburn Public Library to extend hours for finals week Anne Dawson

community reporter

During finals week, Auburn’s on-campus library, Ralph Brown Draughon Library, is usually crowded.

“Finals week is our busiest time of the year,” said Jayson Hill, communications and marketing specialist with RBD. The Auburn Public Library will once again extend its hours to allow students another space to get work done during finals week.

Chris Warren, the Auburn Public Library’s director, said the goal of the extended hours is to give students one more place in the community to study, work on projects and prepare

for finals.

The usual hours for the library are 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2-6 p.m. on Sunday.

However, on Dec. 6-10, the hours will be extended each night until midnight.

“This is a way for us to reach out to Auburn students,” Warren said.

Ashley Brown, Auburn Public Library’s reference librarian, said the public library will act as a resource for students, providing a quiet space to work in case other resources are too crowded.

Brown said the first time the Auburn Public Library extended its hours was May.

Seeing it was necessary, the library decided to stay open during exam week to benefit students.

Warren said it was a success, providing a study space for almost 200 students.

Brown said students stayed until midnight each night, taking full advantage of the extended hours.

“The best part was that as we were closing, students would say thank you to us,” Warren said.

The staff provided coffee and cookies for students in need of a caffeine boost or sugar rush.

The Auburn Public Library is located at 749 E. Thach Ave. and can be reached at 334-501-3190 for more information.

Canty steps into star role after sitting out a year After sitting out for a year, transfer Kareem Canty has assumed the starting point guard spot for Auburn, as well as the No. 1 jersey from KT Harrell.

Nathan Deal Sports Writer

When KT Harrell’s 3-point shot splashed through the basket to send Auburn to overtime against LSU in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals, Auburn basketball finally seemed to be taking on the quality and attitude of its coach.

The Tigers defeated LSU in what could be considered a program-changing win.

Auburn went on to lose to Kentucky in the semifinals, ending a 14-20 campaign in Bruce Pearl’s first season.

That Auburn team then saw the departure of valuable players, including Malcolm Canada, Antoine Mason, K.C. Ross-Miller and No. 1 himself, Harrell.

But despite the turnover on the roster, Auburn enters this season with heightened expectations thanks to last season’s SEC Tournament success and incoming talent such as Horace Spencer, Bryce Brown, T.J. Dunans, Tyler Harris and New Williams.

The newcomer with the biggest spotlight, however, is a 6-foot-1 junior guard who’s taking on the No. 1 mantle left by Harrell.

LAST WEEK vs. UAB (W, 76-75) vs. Colorado (L, 91-84) THIS WEEK Nov. 20 vs. Georgia Southern (8:30 p.m.)

Canty, having grown up in New York and played college basketball at Marshall, has had to adjust to a culture that he considers different from the Northern U.S. “The food, the people, War Eagle … that’s like saying ‘Aloha’ here,” Canty said. “I just take it day by day. I’m still adjusting to it, believe it or not.”

Auburn basketball is also adjusting to unfamiliar territory, thanks to roster turnover and expectations as high as they’ve been in years.

The Tigers won their two exhibition games against Brevard College (99-59) and Indianapolis (114-109), with Canty averaging 20 points per game.

He added 20 more in Auburn’s season-opening win against UAB and 24 against Colorado.

Despite winning three of those, the Tigers are still a young team with errors to address. But Canty believes that inexperience might not be a bad thing. “(Gaining experience) is the best part,” Canty said.

“We lack experience, so we’re going in there with a clear mind. We’re going to take it game by game.

Whoever’s first on our schedule for SEC play, we’ll find out (what kind of team we are).”

Q: What is your favorite part of being a studentathlete here at Auburn University?

A: The support you get, just being a part of that family, knowing that if you are stuck in any type of struggle or trouble there’s literally a hundred people you can reach out to. And just being a part of that great supported network that can really make anything possible that you need to basically develop into the person you want to be, just again as a person academically and then also in sports just having all those three things making you the best person you can be coming out of your degree and your time at Auburn.

Q: You were named SEC Swimmer of the Week recently. What does that award mean to you?

Just every dual meet I try to give my best. It’s just working hard in practice ... it’s great to just be able to give back to my team and get those points on the board.

The energy that you get from a win in a dual meet and really using that momentum for other people to try to win those events, and just getting the SEC Swimmer of the Week on top of that is just a bonus. It’s not something I look to get, but when I do I just know that that’s contributing to my team, and it’s really honorable for me.

Q: What are your expectations for yourself and the team this year?

A: My expectations (are) definitely to reproduce my results for the team from last year at SECs, try to get on the podium in all three of my events and definitely coming away with my first SEC Championship for the team.

But also individually, I want to win gold in at least one of my events and then heading into NCAAs again, getting on the country podium and as a team make the top 5 ... And then obviously, on the back end of that, in April I get to do the Olympic trials, and I’m pretty positive with the training that I’m doing right now I have a great shot to get myself the opportunity to make the Olympic team for the British.

Q: Do you like how the SEC Network is making swimming a more broadcasted sport?

A: Yes, I really enjoy that actually, some of my friends have been watching it if they haven’t been able to make it to the meet live. I know my parents are able to watch the SEC Network back home which is great for them to have high-quality and professional broadcasting of my events. And I’m sure every family of a swimmer in the SEC or of any sport, kind of more low-profile sports, love having the opportunity to watch their son or daughter or family compete on a network such high quality. And again, the more exposure our sports get, the more coverage we get, the more momentum that is brought into those meets is great.

Q&A with SEC Swimmer of the Week Joe Patching Meredith Brito Sports Writer

Patching, who is from England, was named SEC Swimmer of the Week after picking up three individual wins in Auburn’s first meet of the season against Alabama.

Q: What was the transition from moving to another country like for you?

A: It was actually relatively easy. I went to a boarding school since I was 12, so I was used to being away from home and my family, and kind of when I was there I got a lot of experience staying in my boarding house, so the transition to America was slightly easier than most people would imagine it to be.

FILE PHOTO

Kareem Canty, a native of Harlem, New York, began his basketball career at Marshall, where he averaged 16.3 points and 5.5 assists per game.

He decided to transfer after the school fired coach Tom Herrion.

What ensued was a tug-of-war for Canty’s services between Auburn and South Florida, before he finally opted for The Plains.

Canty says he chose Auburn mainly because of Bruce Pearl’s track record, which was so appealing to Canty that he believes it was worth sitting out a year.

Because of the NCAA’s transfer rules, he had to sit out a season before gaining elibility.

Canty didn’t view the year of ineligibility as punishment, but rather an opportunity.

“I mean, it was bad because I had to sit out, but it was good that I got to watch the SEC,” Canty said.

“I got a chance to get bigger, stronger and mentally tougher. I got a chance to gel with the coaches and see what they’re like.”

Canty’s time in Auburn hasn’t just shown him what the SEC and his coaches are like, but also Southern life and culture.

Q: What are some of the differences between competing in England and the U.S.?

A: In general, great optimism that America has particularly in college sports, great sporting colleges in America which definitely is great to be a part of, also that great team atmosphere that you wouldn’t find in an English university that I came and found at Auburn it’s great to be a part of the Auburn Family. That team atmosphere that drives me every day and little differences like the food and the atmosphere.

Leadership team making ‘The Jungle’ formidable Evan McCullers

Assistant Sports Editor

While Auburn basketball has had its ups and downs over the last few years, one constant has remained.

"The Jungle" has been the official name of the Auburn basketball student section since 2010, when Auburn Arena opened.

Its goal: to make winning in Auburn Arena as difficult as possible for all Auburn opponents.

The goal of the revamped Jungle Leadership Team, comprised of 11 students, is to do that in a more organized way in 2015.

The team was established in December 2014 after Auburn Athletics marketing officials approached Jacob Varner and Clint Richardson, now co-leaders of the Jungle Leadership Team, about forming a studentbased group that would bring organization, spirit and most importantly, noise, to the Jungle.

Though the team was up and running for a while last season, the late start made it difficult to do as much as it would have liked.

This year, Varner, Richardson and the other nine members have already been meeting for months to brainstorm ideas and formulate a plan of how to create the best environment possible.

“To put it plainly, our goal has always been to be the loudest, the most passionate, the best overall student section in the SEC,” Richardson said.

Crowd noise affects a basketball game, perhaps more than any other sport, because of the crowd’s close proximity to the playing surface and because the noise is amplified indoors.

Making it tough on opponents is the responsibility of the Jungle, and it’s one they take seriously.

“Our motto is ‘Fear the Jungle,’ and we mean that,” Varner said. “We wanted to be a fearful place for opposing teams, but at the same time, we also pride ourselves on being classy and professional … We want to be loud and obnoxious during a game.”

Since the hiring of coach Bruce Pearl, excitement around Auburn’s men’s basketball program has skyrocketed. With more successful teams on the horizon, the Jungle Leadership Team is looking for ways to not only make the games tough on opponents, but also fun for the students.

“We want people to come to basketball games because they enjoy it, because they want to support the team,” Richardson said.

“Not because it’s a Tuesday night and they don’t have anything better to do.”

The team’s final goal is to win the Naismith Student Section of the Year Award, which is given annually to the nation’s best student section. Members believe it’s a realistic goal if the Jungle can become more organized than years past.

The Jungle reacts to a big play during Auburn’s game against Colorado.

“My goal this year is to have every student on the same page, doing the same kind of cheers, wearing the same thing and just be more of an organized, cohesive unit,” Varner said.

While the Jungle Leadership Team has been working hard for weeks to improve the Jungle, it has not been alone in the endeavor.

Pearl and several Auburn players met with the team in October to brainstorm ideas and

give the Jungle an idea of what the basketball team likes to see and hear during the games.

“It’s something (Pearl) cares about a lot, and he has taken time out of his schedule to talk with them and show his excitement,” said Rachael Doyle, director of marketing for Auburn Athletics. “A lot of this inspiration also came from Bruce and what his likes are.”

If Pearl continues his recent success on the

recruiting trail, it might not be long before Auburn basketball is relevant again on the SEC and national scenes.

If and when that happens, the new and improved Jungle will be there to provide all the help it can.

“Basketball is fun to watch; it’s fun to cheer on,” Varner said. “It’s different than a lot of other sports, and the passion really shows.”

This Week in Auburn Sports Soccer Nov. 14

The NCAA Tournament returned to The Plains for the fourth time in school history Saturday, with Auburn hosting the Southeastern Louisiana Lions at the Auburn Soccer Complex. The 13th tournament appearance in program history ended in victory, with the Tigers defeating the Lions 1-0.

A week after falling in the semifinals of the SEC Tournament to Florida, Auburn took its time to settle in. Creating multiple shot opportunities, the ball reached the back of the Lions’ goal several times, but two were waved by offsides calls.

“We just said, ‘Just keep going at them,’” said forward Kristen Dodson. “‘Just keep pressing.’”

The Lions received an automatic bid into the tournament by winning the Southland Conference Tournament Sunday, defeating Sam Houston State 3-1 in penalty kicks. They entered the tournament with a 13-4-4 record and found themselves in unfamiliar territory at Auburn, as it was the first time meeting for either team in their histories.

The Tigers capitalized in the 41st minute when an assisting Casie Ramsier found Dodson in the box to put Auburn on the board. Going against Hope Sabadash, the goalkeeper for Southeastern Louisiana, the Tigers created 29 shot opportunities but were stopped 11 times by Sabadash.

“As one of the leaders on the team, I have to make sure the team is comfortable with what I’m doing so that they can worry about themselves,” Sabadash said.

The Lions' back line had no true defenders, as all players there were converted to their positions.

Auburn’s defense held the Lions to five shots, minimizing the workload for redshirt freshman Sarah Le Beau, who recorded one save in the match.

“Seeing our offense create (shot opportunities), we just knew we had to be compact and limit their shots,” said defender Kala Faulkner.

“That’s what we did today.”

The Tigers will advance to the second round of the tournament to face Texas Tech on Friday, Nov. 20, in Tallahassee, Florida.

“We’ve been to Tallahassee a lot, we’re familiar there, we’re happy we’ve got the neutral game,” coach Karen Hoppa said. “They eliminated us last year in this same round, and we’re excited to have a chance at that game.”

Women’s Basketball Nov. 13

Change is the only thing that stays the same.

This summer, the NCAA decided to change

the time intervals for women’s basketball, distancing itself from the 20-minute half format, and making the change to four 10-minute quarters. The NCAA justified the decision by insisting the change to enhance the flow of the game.

Friday night, the flow of the game wasn’t an issue, as the Tigers used a balanced scoring attack to defeat UAB, 85-71 in both teams’ season opener.

Going on a 7-0 run to start off the first game is a nice way to start out the season, to say the least. After giving up seven points, UAB had to call a timeout to regroup. Auburn’s fast paced three-quarter-court press seemed to have UAB’s number, but UAB regained confidence after the timeout. The Blazers’ guards displayed tremendous patience and cross-court vision to break the press and answered with a trio of 3-pointers.

Auburn’s press enhanced the speed of the game. Jazmine Jones headed the zone press, and the sophomore used her 6-foot-2 frame extremely well, causing problems swinging the ball across the court.

What really stood out about the Tigers’ game was their post play. Jones proved an athletic presence on the defensive side of the ball. Senior forward Tra’Cee Tanner played particularly well, showing quickness and decisiveness around the rim. She was consistently in the paint working hard for rebounds and finished the game with 18 points and 10 rebounds.

Katie Frerking was also a big part of Auburn’s defensive efforts and made four 3-pointers in the process. Auburn boasted four starters with at least 10 points.

Auburn had several standout guards as well, including junior Brandy Montgomery and freshman Janiah McKay, who finished the game with 24 and 20 points, respectively.

These two guards showed phenomenal scoring potential with swiftness and creativity around the bucket.

“When a freshman goes with 20 points and seven assists in their first game, you can’t be too mad with that,” coach Terri WilliamsFlournoy said.

Montgomery was quick to praise the freshmen as well, calling them “confident and fearless.”

Williams-Flournoy said in the second half, “the energy level was much better.” Players noticed a big difference in the flow of the game with the four 10-minute quarters.

UAB’s senior guard Chelsee Black finished the game with 22, which led the Blazers in scoring. Deanna Kuzmanic finished with five 3-pointers, and Brittany Winborne led the Blazers in rebounding with 10.

Men’s Basketball Nov. 13

Horace Spencer almost was not on the court for the last play of Auburn’s heart-stopping 75-74 win over UAB Friday night.

During a Blazer timeout with 10.2 seconds remaining, coach Bruce Pearl considered going with a smaller lineup for the Tigers’ final defensive possession.

After a bit of persuasion from Spencer, Pearl decided to leave the true freshman on the floor, and the call paid off.

UAB guard Hakeem Baxter took the inbounds pass, drove to the basket and dumped the ball off to Chris Cokley, who led all scorers with 25 on 12-19 shooting.

Cokley tossed up the potential game-winner, but Spencer was there to swat the ball away and preserve the victory in Auburn’s first game of 2015.

“You never know what can go down,” Spencer said. “You never know how things are going to happen. To tell you the truth, I didn’t expect it to end like that, but I already knew in my heart and my mind that we were going to get this win, no matter how we had to do it.”

With 36 seconds left, it looked like Spencer could be the goat instead of the hero.

After Kareem Canty missed a three with 41 seconds left, Spencer secured the rebound. Instead of calling timeout like he had been instructed to do by Pearl, Spencer attempted to go up for a shot.

The shot never went up. Spencer turned the ball over, and UAB’s Robert Brown took it the length of the floor for a go-ahead layup.

On the final Auburn possession, the ball was Canty’s to give up.

Canty, one of five players who made their Auburn debut against the Blazers, had scored the last four field goals for Auburn. He drove to the right, but UAB had the play defended well, so Canty dished the ball to the corner.

Waiting on it was TJ Lang, who played only 14 minutes in the game after picking up three early fouls.

Lang was wide open, and he drilled the biggest shot of his Auburn career to give the Tigers a 75-74 advantage that would hold thanks to Spencer’s block.

“T-Lang came down with the clutch shot,” Spencer said. “He did his part. I had to do my part.”

The win serves as not only a season-opening win, but perhaps a program-changing one.

UAB advanced to the round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament a year ago, and many consider the Blazers the best team in Alabama.

“We got tired of hearing about them, for

Lemans Square & Chateau Apartments

real,” Canty said. “We came out angry, played angry.”

Pearl was impressed with UAB, but the second-year coach was also pleased with his team’s effort down the stretch. “(UAB) came in here and they expected to win,” Pearl said. “That served them well, but then somehow in the second half our kids obviously stepped up and made plays on both ends of the floor.”

The game was the 10th sellout in Auburn Arena history, and the crowd, which included SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, played a major role in the game.

“The first two exhibition games I was like, ‘Man, I hope the fans didn’t give up on us,’” Canty said. “I seen every seat was filled, so I told my teammates when we got together, ‘Let’s give them a show. Let’s make a movie.’”

The Tigers did just that, drawing fans to their feet time and time again, and eventually sending them home happy.

“It was a great win over a really good opponent,” Pearl said. “Wins like that last all year long.”

Cross Country Nov. 13

While the season is over for Auburn’s cross country teams, one runner still has one more race.

Auburn competed in the NCAA South Regional Friday morning, and freshman Brenda Kigen advanced to compete in the NCAA Championships on Nov. 21 in Louisville.

Kigen, the first Auburn female to qualify for the NCAA Championships since 2010, finished sixth with a 20:18 in the 6K and was named to the All-Region team.

Also named to the All-Region team were junior Veronica Eder, who placed seventh with a time of 20:27, and senior Redatu Semeon, who finished 11th in the 10K with a time of 31:03.

Both teams finished fifth in the regional.

The men finished with 174 points, while the women earned 186.

“We had a very good meet with both teams finishing fifth overall,” said coach Mark Carroll. “We had strong performances from Brenda and Veronica, who earned All-Region honors, and on the men’s side, it was great to see Redatu end his cross country career on a high and be named to the All-Region team as well.”

Senior develops professional sports car team during college career Hannah Fuqua intrigue writer

Andrews Rains, senior in marketing, said his history in motorsports began when he was a freshman.

He said he and his father bought an old Italian race car, and he joined the Auburn University Formula SAE Racing Team, a club team in the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering where students build race cars.

“It was available for all students, and everyone really encouraged me to be a part of the team even though I wasn’t an engineering student,” Rains said.

Since then, Rains has developed Rains Racing, a professional sports car racing team.

Payson Williams, junior in mechanical engineering, is marketing director of the formula team.

“It’s not just a club team,” Williams said. “We treat it like a business, because it is. Students on the team must create and maintain relationships with sponsors, such as local GKN Aerospace, for support of the team since it is a nonprofit organization. It helps people understand, in a sense, the real world in how a business operates, how an en-

gineering company operates and how to present yourself in a professional manner.”

Rains said he has taken these ideals from his time on the formula team and his skills in marketing and transferred them to Rains Racing.

“Marketing is everything in racing,” Rains said. “The single biggest thing for any industry and any person that works for any business in the world is learning how to interface with other people.”

Rains Racing is based out of Birmingham, Rains’s hometown.

Rains said he also utilizes the racetrack at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham.

“It’s more than just a racetrack, it’s an experience,” Rains said. “We’re trying to showcase that there’s some sophisticated motorsports that go on in Alabama, not just Talladega.”

Rains said his company also rents space for patrons in Birmingham to store their luxury vehicles.

Rains Racing has also developed its own product, Apex Pro, which it hopes to put on the market soon, according to Rains.

Troy Johnson, manager of communication and marketing in the Raymond J. Harbert College of

Business, said he wanted to know how Rains runs a business, races and has time for school.

“We wanted to find out when he sleeps,” Johnson said.

On this, Rains said he agrees.

“I can’t really lay around a lot,” Rains said.

Johnson and several other professors and staff took notice of Rains. “(Rains) is a marketing student who thinks like an entrepreneur,” Johnson said.

It takes proactivity and time management to run his business, according to Rains.

Rains said he has to be at his shop almost every weekend.

At the beginning of each semester, Rains said he meets with his professors to explain his schedule, which includes traveling the world and running a business.

The team plans to have a full season of racing in the Pirelli World Challenge in 2016.

Rains will also be graduating in December.

“When I graduate, I’ll be working for myself, and I’ll be working on those two projects, racing and research and development,” Rains said.

Williams said students shouldn’t settle for mediocrity.

Rains sits in his race car.

“You don’t even want to stop at great or perfect,” Williams said. “You want to keep going.”

Slow down stress and breathe Amanda Myles Intrigue writer

As the end of fall semester approaches, final tests, papers and projects accumulate while exams loom in the back of every student’s mind.

With hectic schedules and seemingly no free time to breathe, students can be detrimentally affected by stress.

According to the American College Health Association’s National College Health Assessment for Spring 2015, 30 percent of students reported stress affected their academic performance within the past 12 months.

Jan-Erin Miller, counselor in Student Counseling Services, said stress tends to fall in three different clusters, which are the physical, emotional and cognitive areas.

Miller said the first thing she does when somebody is feeling stressed is ask the person to start slowing down, take deep breaths and refocus.

She said often students are overworked, so it is helpful to pay attention to time management, and it is important for students to take care of themselves to lead healthy lifestyles in terms of eating properly, drinking plenty of water, exercising, getting plenty of sleep and spending time with friends. Students being able to clarify their values and their purpose in life is another significant aspect in stress relief, according to Miller.

Miller oversees the Zen Den, located in the Student Counseling Center in the Auburn University Medicial Clinic. The Zen Den includes a biofeedback room and relaxation room.

Miller said in the biofeedback room, a computer will measure a student’s heart rate and sweat production to interpret their level of stress. Students can play games on the computer to help them become more aware of techniques in reducing their stress. The relaxation room has a massage chair and space for yoga, according to Miller.

Any students can utilize the Zen Den by calling Student Counseling Services and scheduling an orientation.

Stress balls can be used to relieve stress.

Once students are orientated, they can schedule an appointment to use either room at any time for free.

Miller said next semester there will be a satellite office for the biofeedback equipment in the Student Center, which may be more accessible for some students than the medicial clinic.

Eric Bloch, counselor in Student Counseling Services, coordinates Mindful Mondays, which is every Monday from 4-5 p.m. in the Recreation and Wellness Center.

The class is free and does not require group passes. In Mindful Mondays, Bloch said he leads meditation and incorporates yoga, and he helps students focus on the present moment and learn to notice distractions when they happen.

Bloch said Mindful Mondays allows him to reach out to a large number of students.

“It’s a good opportunity to reach out to students and to give them a different opportunity to combat stress that’s not going over to stu-

dent counseling and talking with a psychologist or something like that,” Bloch said.

Bloch said another stress-specific outreach effort the Student Counseling Services organizes is the finals week outreach event.

Student Counseling Services staff members and graduate students will host a variety of stress-relieving activities in the Ralph Brown Draughon Library for the event.

Snacks and water will be provided.

Pam Wiggins, assistant director of group fitness at the Recreation and Wellness Center, said the center has a mind-body program, which offers yoga throughout the day and a mediation program.

Wiggins said an important part of dealing with stress is being aware of it. People are out of balance with themselves and their bodies, because society is focused on achieving success, according to Wiggins.

“I think a lot of us just don’t realize how stressed we are,” Wiggins said.

Christie Garton, an entrepreneur and author, founded the 1,000 Dreams Fund to help young women achieve their educational and professional goals.

The 1,000 Dreams Fund provides $1,000 scholarships as well as professional resources and advice to high school and college-aged women.

Garton said she did not have the resources to help direct her career path.

“Growing up, I really didn’t have anybody as a role model to really help guide my professional roles in my path,” Garton said. “I really just kind of figured it out on my own.”

Garton said she was involved in college, and there were internships she wanted to take advantage of, but they required her to fundraise.

“I was able, through a variety of ways, to cobble together those resources to do it,” Garton said. “But it wasn’t easy, so that background in just finding myself has really inspired me with what we’re doing with the 1,000 Dreams Fund.”

The fund is an invaluable starting point for women to raise money they need to achieve their dreams, Garton said.

“I think what we ultimately view what we are is a door opener,” Garton said. “So we know that by providing a grant, it can actually help that young woman to go out there and raise the additional amount that she needs.”

Garton said funding is one side of the 1,000 Dreams Fund mission. The fund, which was launched in January, has given 20 scholarships so far, but the initial goal is 1,000, according to Garton.

“We are going to be continuing to provide advice, mentorships [and] stories of other girls of how they’re navigating that life space,” Garton said.

There are two grant periods, fall and spring, where women can apply for the scholarship, which is awarded during the following semester, according to Garton. Garton said the 1,000 Dreams Fund recently launched the 1,000 Dreams Challenge, allowing women to submit photos on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #1000DreamsChallenge with a caption.

Anybody can vote on their favorite entries. The five most voted will be finalists, and the team will pick three winners. The grand prize winner will get $1,000, and the two runners-up will receive $500 each.

Garton said the photo challenge campaign is flexible, as it does not require an application and is open to anyone.

“We want to do more of those, and it’s kind of a direct way to get our mission out there and hopefully in an inspiring way,” Garton said.

The deadline for photo submission is Monday, Nov. 23, by the end of the day, and winners will be announced Tuesday, Nov. 24, according to the 1,000 Dreams Fund Facebook page.

Katie Lynn, freshman in engineering, said Garton is considerate in her work with the 1,000 Dreams Fund.

“I think that’s really nice of her,” Lynn said. “I think that’s really good and generous of her to share stuff that she’s worked for.”

Hannah Herndon, freshman in wildlife sciences with a veterinary medicine concentration, said college is expensive, so it is worth applying for the scholarship.

“That’s a thousand dollars that goes towards education, which is wonderful,” Herndon said. “People struggle.

They need the money.”

The 1,000 Dreams Fund scholarship application for the 2016 spring period will be available Dec. 1.

Black Friday sales to start Thanksgiving Day Emily Esleck

paper only for the Black Friday advertisements.

Hannah Marxen, senior in human development and family studies, said she participates in Black Friday shopping with her sister.

“Just, like, from being a participant, I think it’s crazy how people behave,” Marxen said.

She also said it’s ridiculous Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving.

“I don’t think it should start on a holiday, and I think that should be respected,” Marxen said. “Just a salesperson shouldn’t be needed on Thanksgiving.”

“Black Friday” was coined in the ‘60s when stores moved from red, indicating a loss, to black, indicating a profit, which kicked off the Christmas shopping season, according to BlackFriday. com.

Cyber Monday, another well-known shopping day, is the Monday after Thanksgiving where many online deals are available.

Marxen said she likes Cyber Monday better, because there aren’t any lines.

The day after Thanksgiving, or Black Friday, usually begins with swarms of holiday shoppers trying to find the best deal for their buck. The widely popular phenomenon of staying out all hours of the night, credit card in hand, scouring shelves for gifts happens every year without fail.

Now, stores such as JCPenny, Best Buy, Walmart, Office Depot, Target, Kohl’s, Macy’s and Belk, start their in-store sales Thanksgiving Day. However, stores starting their sales on Black Friday, such as Academy Sports + Outdoors and Tractor Supply Company, are hard to find.

Online Walmart Black Friday deals start at 2:01 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day, a new addition to its strategy. Black Friday sale preview product guides line the display racks of these stores, so participants can plan their mad dash, catering to which items they want most.

According to techdirt.com, some newspapers are raising their price for the Thanksgiving paper because they realize most people will buy the

the peak of Black Friday mayhem. Bartley said she goes Friday evening after most of the crowd has already been, and she participates in Cyber Monday more.

Bartley said she thinks the idea of Black Friday is good, but the hype around it is too high.

“I mean there’s crazy like people breaking

windows and doing ridiculous things to get good deals,” Bartley said.

With all the people pushing in lines, Black Friday can also be dangerous, according to BlackFriday.com, which states seven deaths and 98 injuries have occurred during Black Friday sales since 2006.

Synagogue pays Jewish families to move to Dothan Marissa Luckie Intrigue Writer

In 2008, a synagogue in Dothan, gained recognition from publications such as The New York Times and was even featured in one of Jay Leno’s monologues because of a program it started, which offered Jewish families up to $50,000 to move to its community.

Temple Emanu-El, a Reform Jewish congregation, has been offering grants to families from across the nation since 2008 as part of its mission to reinvigorate its Jewish community.

The program, which is called the Family Relocation Project, was founded by Larry Blumberg and his family.

Blumberg, member of Temple Emanu-El and owner of a real estate development business in Dothan, not only came up with the idea for the project, but also gave the $1 million that supplies the money for relocating families.

“I think it’s important that we try to

find young people that we could use in our religious school, our Sunday school and help in the way of trying to create more of a family-type atmosphere in our temple,” Blumberg said.

Robert Goldsmith, executive director of Blumberg Family Jewish Community Services, said like many other religious communities at the time, Temple Emanu-El was experiencing a lull with membership decreasing from 110-40 members.

Goldsmith said in the ‘70s and ‘80s young people went to college and got jobs in bigger cities, but when the project gained recognition from organizations such as CNN and NPR in 2008, suddenly everyone seemed to want to move to Dothan.

“When we got an AP wire story, it went around the world,” Goldsmith said. “I mean, we had thousands of calls and emails and letters. It was crazy there for about six months ... and then those thousands and hundreds of emails and phone calls diminish … to

the more serious folks.”

Karen Arenson, who learned of the program when her brother-in-law sent her a link to a Huffington Post article in October 2013, said the project came at a time when her family needed change. By March 2014, about six months after seeing the article, Arenson, her husband and her 6-year-old daughter packed their bags and moved from Los Angeles to Dothan.

“Like with anything, there are always trade-offs, but for the most part, 90 percent, we absolutely love it,” Arenson said.

The Jewish community in Auburn is also experiencing growth, according to Paula Hunker, co-president of Beth Shalom, the only synagogue in Auburn and the East Alabama area.

Hunker said the Jewish community in Auburn is small, but on the rise.

A big part of this growth can be attributed to active Jewish students at Auburn, according to Hunker.

on-campus Hillel,” Hunker said. “The students that have been involved have been extremely active. When I first came, there were 10 Hillel members and now there is between 40 and 50.”

Hunker said there is an active oncampus Jewish fraternity which closed in the ‘70s but reopened this year. As for supplying money for a program similar to the Family Relocation Project, Hunker said she would approach it

differently by having a religion professor at Auburn.

“To have a rabbi who was a professor who could minister to the congregation but also be accessible to the larger congregation ... I think that would be the draw to have other families come,” Hunker said.

Goldsmith said the Family Relocation Project is still looking for five more families to move to Dothan.
