Millennials faced with tough choice for president The controversy and bigotry surrounding this election cycle have made it tough for millennial voters to cast their ballots. Christina Fuleihan
Staff Writer
Voting has long been a symbol of maturity, responsible citizenship, and democracy. It is as much our duty to vote as it is our honor. For new voters, however, voting is also a right of passage symbolizing our entrance into mainstream America. We are no longer the youth of tomorrow. We are now, officially, the citizens of today. For many of us, this election will represent the first presidential election we find ourselves both actively participating and voting in. Eight years ago, a monumental election brought us the first American president of color. This year, we find ourselves trying hopelessly to decide between the “lesser of two evils.” While the first female president is also on the ballot this year, there have been a series of scandals and errs in judgment on the part of this year’s two main contenders for the presidency that are unforgivable. Furthermore, these scandals have seemingly sullied the entire election and presidential race for the new populous of American voters. I used to have a high-school American History teacher who claimed that every politician was a liar by nature of the craft, and no one would seek the heavy responsibility of the presidency unless they were actually crazy. I must disagree, because, optimistically, I hope to trust that the politicians we elect properly represent our democracy and what it stands for. A president should be a leader we can depend on; neither an
entertainer, nor a hypocrite. If, as the media loves to claim, Clinton is a “liar” and Trump is “crazy,” it is a shame that we must settle for either candidate to represent our great country and miss seeing justice and fair representation carried out regarding some of the most controversial issues of today. We are not expecting a perfect president, but we do need a president that the majority can believe in and most of the minority can at least settle with. We are now faced with a decision that will change the face of American politics for the next four, possibly eight, years. Unfortunately, no candidate seems to have risen above the “dirty politics” of it all. Therefore, we find ourselves voting for the issues rather than the party candidates. We find ourselves having to sacrifice some of our beliefs in favor of supporting our stances on the issues we believe to be most crucial. The majority of college students may be disappointed that this will be “our first real election.” Regardless of whether or not we can fully support one candidate, it is imperative that we do vote. It was the firm belief of my American History teacher that we do not earn the right to criticize the next president of the United States of America unless we actively vote. Democracy will stand as long as we let our voices be heard. Remember, there are always third-candidate options for those who cannot bring themselves to settle.

The case for Clinton Juan Franco
Writer
When November 8th comes, there is only one choice that leads to the United States moving forward and not backward. There is only one choice that is experienced enough to carry the mantle of commander in chief. There is only one choice that will not tarnish this country’s history. Donald Trump has proven countless times why he should not be the choice of the American electorate on November 8. From the very beginning, Trump built his campaign upon themes of racism and xenophobia, setting aside sound science, practical domestic and foreign relations, and basic human decency. He has managed to insult citizens from nearly every demographic group. From Latinos to women
to African-Americans to Muslims, there seems to be no end in sight. He has joked about sexual assault, has called for women to be punished for having abortions, suggested he could date his daughter, and has insulted veterans by claiming John McCain is not a war hero because “he was captured.” His ideas for “Making America Great Again” lack basic economic consideration, factual insight, and concrete policy proposals. He has promised to jail his opponent if elected; as a Venezuelan, I understand how dangerous a threat of total power can be. His explosive temperament, deluded logic, and history of demeaning and allegedly assaulting women has shown that he does not truly represent the values the Republican Party is about. The GOP’s promise of a
smaller government and free market policies is worthy of consideration and debate, but the man they have nominated does not care about any of these things. No former President, Republican or Democrat, is willing to endorse him. The 2008 and 2012 Republican nominees stay as far away as possible. The current Republican Speaker of the House will not campaign for him. Hillary Clinton is the best answer to the problems posed by Donald Trump. Her record and experience are unmatched in presidential history. From First Lady of Arkansas to Secretary of State, she has participated in every level of government; Clinton is dedicated to this nation. She understands that America is already great and that opportunity is plentiful when the nation joins together in all of its
diversity. Her steadfast commitment to fighting global warming, supporting LGBTQ rights, passing comprehensive immigration reform and sensible gun control legislation is what America’s future is about. She wants to be a President for all Americans and she has the experience to do so. Although I think Hillary Clinton is the only choice worthy of supporting on Election Day, I am not blind to the issues that have plagued her campaign. The chief among them is her handling of emails while serving as Secretary of State. To be frank, her reasoning does not fully put the matter at rest for me. Politicians should be held to a higher standard, we should always aim for the highest level of accountability. If she were to take over the White House, the public should demand transparency before all
else. However, although these are real issues, they are nothing compared to the threat Donald Trump poses for the future of the United States. I believe there is legitimacy to the claim many Trump supporters have of a system that does not benefit them, the appearance of open borders and higher risk of terrorism. However, Donald Trump is not the answer to these problems. Donald Trump has absolutely no foreign policy experience; Hillary Clinton does. Donald Trump has no clue how to address global warming because he doesn’t believe it is real; Hillary Clinton has a voting record to prove it. Donald Trump thinks not paying taxes is smart; Hillary Clinton knows evading taxes is a crime. Hillary Clinton is ready to lead, and we are all excited to welcome her to the Oval Office.
The case for Trump Amanda Torres
Writer
As a senior here at Rollins College, a business management major, daughter of a doctor and Ecuadorian immigrant, and a member of the Rollins College Republicans, this election’s results are crucial. Although it seems we are stuck between a rock and a hard place, when it comes to economic stimulation/ job creation, taxation, the immigration crisis, National Security and a need to replace Obamacare, there is only one choice. Being a businessman with near 50 years of experience, Trump is far from the career pol-
itician status of his adversary. To date, Trump has not made his name in political positions, but in a multitude of business ventures that have created thousands of jobs for Americans. In regards to taxation, Trump advocates for decreased taxation for all classes aside from the mega wealthy, such decreases will keep more money in the pockets of citizens and less in the hands of government. More so, his tax plan will decrease taxation for corporations and businesses from 35% to 15%. With such tax cuts, companies will have a reason to stay in the U.S. Currently, the US has the highest corporate business taxation in
the world, the decrease in corporate taxes will without question untie the limitations of businesses in America and return those which have gone elsewhere. Furthermore, Trump will enforce and defend immigration laws. Trump’s stance places emphasis on better defending of our country’s borders as well as enforcing visa regulations (as the majority of illegal immigrants do not cross the border from Mexico, but rather consciously overstay their tourist visas). More so, Trump opposes the existence of Sanctuary Cities that are now found in over 10 states. These cities not only promote illegal immigration but
also have resulted in the harboring of murderers, drug dealers and other violent offenders. It is a common misconception that Americans are greedy and lack an ability to “coexist”. Well, the reality is illegal immigrants are taking American jobs, don’t pay taxes, a number are involved in criminal activity aside from not having citizenship, and most importantly abuse public services paid for by working Americans such as healthcare. This is not a lack of humanity; it is a need to take care of the American People (veterans, the elderly, the disabled, the poor) first. In regards to National security and the modernly increasing terrorist threat, Trump advocates implementation of new policies alongside his immigration plan, directed towards diminishing the risk of terrorists coming into the United States. Trump also plans on fighting ISIS (born under the eight passive years of the Obama/Clinton administration) abroad. Lastly, Trump supports the immediate replacement of Obamacare. Obamacare has proved itself all but useless for American families as premiums have increased dramatically. As the cost is now higher than other insurances, carriers like Humana, United, Aetna (just to name a few) have actually dropped Obamacare due to its excessive regulations, high cost, and finan-

cial losses. The stark reality is, more than 30 million Americans have been left uninsured despite Obamacare. Being raised by those in the medical field, I can say firsthand that Obamacare has increased regulations for doctors, it does not cover doctors’ services (doctors do not get paid), therefore physicians are forced to refuse Obamacare patients because they cannot work for free. In essence, due to Obamacare, doctors are losing patients and patients are losing their doctors. This process concludes with patients ultimately losing health insurance due to the loss of carriers. Taking a hard look at America today, where nothing seems to be discussed but a multitude of “isms,” it is clear we have begun to lose sight of the backbone that allowed us the opportunity to focus on social issues. In the pursuit of “equality” we have lost our grasp on the pragmatic and necessary building blocks of conscious capitalism that have made it all possible. Next week, I will vote for Trump because I will not be told what I can buy, how I can live or what I muse think or feel. I believe Hillary’s encouragement of government regulation will only leave citizens dependent on a failing entity. In the end, I suppose I am an advocate for free expression and I think it is odd that Trump’s opposition calls me otherwise.

PRESIDENTIAL
PREVIEW
Ellie Rushing
Writer
As the 2016 presidential election rapidly approaches, people are still struggling to understand each candidate’s stances on key issues. The previous presidential debates failed to give straightforward answers to the people, with both candidates avoiding questions and selling out the other with harsh criticisms. Below is an outlined infographic of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump’s positions on some of the most important and vote-swaying issues. Please take some time to read the plans of each candidate along with a collection of quotes from their respective campaigns.
“I want to make sure the wealthy pay their fair share, which they have not been doing.” “Let’s take on the challenge of systemic racism, invest in communities of color and finally pass comprehensive immigration reform.”
“If you are too dangerous to get on a plane, you are too dangerous to buy a gun in America.” “Since the Great Recession, the gains have all gone to the top and we need to reverse that.” Artwork by Anna Wenzel ‘18 .

THE 133: Acting I: Fundamentals
MWF 10:00-10:50 a.m. OR W 1:00-3:30 p.m.
By Rebecca Candage This semester I had the privilege of taking Acting I: Fundamentals with Dr. David Charles. Affectionately called David or Dr. D by his students, he stresses that this class should be an open environment. He employs both written assignments and onstage activities to help develop our acting skills. He also leads Rollins Improv Players (RIP) and brings some of this improvisation expertise to our class. A major part of the curriculum is preparing for the audition room, where even the best actors can slip up; it is especially helpful when he goes through the process of selecting and developing a new monologue for cold readings. Lessons range from layers of onstage relationships to staying on your feet in performance to basic confidence, skills which can be transferred into any career. He will be teaching this course again in the spring along with Improv I: Fundamentals (MW 11:00 a.m.-12:50 p.m.).

MWF 9:00-9:50 a.m. By Ellie Rushing The way we interpret prejudiced remarks in 2016 is much different than the way it was 30 years ago, let alone 400 years ago. Shakespeare’s A.R.S.E course allows students to dive into infamous plays and examine them on a deeper level, generating an opinion on what kind of playwright William Shakespeare was. By analyzing textual evidence while learning about social standards of the Elizabethan era, anyone who takes this class will leave understanding the complex language of these plays on a more profound level. This 100-level neighborhood course taught by Professor Eric Zivot exemplifies the collision of cultures and the practice of drawling personal connections to literary interpretations.

By Katie Pearce Dr. Forsythe will be teaching Graphic Memoir once more next semester. The class is primarily for Holt students, but will have seats open for other interested students. This thoroughly enjoyable and very organized course lays a foundation of open discussion to facilitate the exploration of major issues of our time through the lens of experience and various perspectives. This enables students to view complex topics as lived, not just theoretical. Graphic Memoir texts will likely include Maus, Fun Home, March: Book 1 and 2, Persepolis, and Child Soldier. The professor is engaging and enthusiastic and goes out of his way to provide feedback on assignments. This course recommendation is a no-brainer.

By Micah Bradley Jewish Life and Thought, taught by Rabbi Olshansky in the Philosophy and Religion Department, melds elements of history, religion, and philosophy to give insight into Judaism. Topics covered by the course include the Hebrew Bible, the Maccabees, the Holocaust, and modern Jewish politics—giving a great overview of Jewish studies. Under the old general education system, the course counts as a “C” elective. The course also counts towards two different minors— it can be an elective for Middle Eastern and North African Studies or serve as a core course for the Jewish Studies minor.
By Joseph Klens Prospective students in the Innovate, Create, Elevate neighborhood this spring will have the opportunity to learn the art of film scoring. In this course, Professor Jamey Ray will teach students the art of creating music for a film. The student will learn the history of music in film, from the earliest days of filmmaking to the types of instruments used to convey specific emotions, in addition to other aspects of film scoring. This is a 100-level course and fulfills the Expressive Arts requirement. An understanding of music theory is not a prerequisite and will be taught in the first two or three classes. Film scoring has become a prominent interest to filmmakers, not just composers, and is therefore a good class to consider for students who are interested in any form of media or visual arts.

Last Wednesday, Rollins welcomed the incomparable presence of Junot Diaz. Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in New Jersey Diaz has been the recipient of a MacArthur Genius Fellowship, PEN/ Malamud Award, Dayton Literary Peace Prize, and many others. His novels include Drown, This is How You Lose Her and Rollins’ freshman summer reading book, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. Diaz is currently the Fiction Editor at the Boston Review and a Writing Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). During his brief time with us, Diaz held a discussion with the English Department faculty and students about creative writing that was thrilling, to say the least. This TED Talk-esque environment approached the broad-
er concept of creative writing as both institutional and worldly and touched on aspects that Junot believed influenced the artistic world. One idea that Junot raised that resonated with the audience was the idea of creativity and institutionalization. Diaz specifically talked about how colleges and universities have turned creativity and majors like English and Creative Writing into a profit that needs to satisfy some moral/social code. He then began to talk about how society needs to learn to break away from that— that we as artists and creators must establish our own personal range of creativity. In other words, if we draw a small box around ourselves, our passions, ideas, and careers, then that is only as far as we will go—which means that we either need to draw another box or pick another shape. He continued to remind us
that our first job, major etc. is only one it is the one of many. He says this is a hard concept to grasp and something that he is constantly trying to teach his students at MIT. I found this idea to be true and very relatable to my current situation. At the end of this semester I will be graduating, and it is only now that I have begun to understand that life is not as linear as I’d been taught; the affirmation from authors such as Junot Diaz seems more than enough proof that it is not. Furthermore, I feel that his message on Wednesday was not meant solely for writers, but for everyone. As students at a liberal arts college, we all have unique talents and ideas for our future and it is important that we consider all of our options and be as creative and innovative as possible while we can. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
‘Inferno’ follows in steps of ‘Da Vinci Code,’ ‘Angels and Demons’ Inferno, the latest Dan Brown book to make it to the screen under Ron Howard’s direction, thrills the audience despite a lackluster climax. Mason Fox
Columnist
With Oscar Season just around the corner, finding movies in late October that are truly entertaining is a difficult feat. Tom Hanks’ newest film Inferno is the exception. Preceded by The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons, this final piece to the movie trilogy could stand alone as its own story. This is the third film adaptation of a Dan Brown novel that Ron Howard has directed and his influence is clear: it is both well-shot and well-produced. Brown’s novel spends a lot of time describing all of its glorious Italian locations, which results in a wonderful adapted viewing experience; the film fea-
tures some of the most gorgeous destinations in the world. Howard’s film greatly benefits from showing these locations because it provides a wonderful backdrop for a film that features a handful of chase scenes. The plot centers around the plans of megalomaniac and billionaire scientist Bertrand Zobrist who conspires to “save the earth” by unleashing a deadly virus to wipe out half of the world’s rapidly growing population. It is up to Robert Langdon, a professor at Harvard, to solve the puzzle of where this deadly virus is hidden before it is exposed to the world... but first, Langdon has to figure out why he wakes up at a hospital in Florence, Italy, with an appar-
ent gunshot wound to the head and no recollection of the past 48 hours. All he knows is that police and others are shooting at him and chasing after the mysterious item he found in his jacket. Oh, yeah—and in the meantime, he is tormented by the visions of Dante’s seventh level of Hell. With the help of his doctor Felicity Jones (Sienna Brooks), Langdon uses his unrivaled puzzle-solving skills to crack yet another code. As this apocalyptic treasure hunt leads us around the world, new parties join the race, causing several unexpected turns of events that spice up the movie when it becomes too predictable or dull. As the film comes to an expected climax, there seems to be a lack of urgency on screen, even
though the film’s well-established premise is that if this virus gets out, half of the world’s population will die of a plague. It is fair to say that this film is not for everyone, but if you can stick through the first twenty minutes of rough jump cuts and flashes to Dante’s seventh ring of Inferno, there will certainly be enough unexpected twists and turns to keep you interested in solving the latest Dan Brown mystery.

Tars suffer a loss in first swim match Branford Rimbert ‘17, representing the Tars against St. Leo. Photo courtesy of Jim Hogue
The Tars’ men’s and women’s swim teams kicked off the 2016-2017 season with a meet against St. Leo University. Manny Rodriguez
Writer
After months of preparation, the Tars’ men and women’s swim teams entered the 2016-2017 season. In August, Rollins hired Kyle Berg as head coach for the men and women’s teams. Berg felt honored to join the Rollins community and was excited to lead the Tars in pursuit of ultimate athletic and academic success. Last Friday was Berg’s first swim meet as the head coach for the Tars. His Assistant Coach, Elvis Burrows, is also in the middle of his first year coaching at Rol-
lins.
The Tars opened the season by hosting No. 17 Saint Leo at the Alfond Pool. For the men, there were ten veteran swimmers returning, seven of which are juniors, along with five newcomers who sought victory. Among the returners is Raoul Rajani ‘18, who set the school record for the 100-yard breaststroke and the 200-yard breaststroke during his 2015 campaign, and graduate student Benjamin Gebauer. Last season, Gebauer had the fastest times for the Tars in multiple events, including the 50-yard freestyle, 100-yard

freestyle, 200-yard freestyle, and 100-yard fly. For the women, nine swimmers, including two seniors and four juniors, return to the team, joining five newcomers for the start of a new season. Junior Taylor Wilks and senior Kylie Klotzbach lead the way for Rollins. Wilks currently holds the school records for both the 100-yard and 200-yard breaststroke, and was a member of the relay team that set the school record for the 200-yard freestyle relay (1:37.29) last February. Both Klotzbach and Wilks were involved in setting the school
records for the 200-yard and 400yard medley relays during the 2016 season. Taking to the pool for the first time under the leadership of Kyle Berg, both the men’s and women’s teams did their best. Never taking a moment to stop, the Tars just kept swimming. Rollins, sadly, could not pull the upset over No. 17 Saint Leo. Despite falling 198-64, the Tars saw some great performances and energy from the team. Sophomore Makenzie Grider tied for first in the 500-Yard Freestyle Event, touching with Alyssa McNamara of Saint Leo at
5:24.30. The Lions proved they could outperform the Tars, as Rollins fell 186-68. Luis Santiesteban highlighted the Tars afternoon, capturing second in the 50 Yard Freestyle with a time of 23.22. Freshman Luke Waite, got his Rollins career off to a good start, posting a time of 5:05.42 and earning a second-place finish in the 500-Yard Freestyle event. The Tars return to the pool on Saturday, November 12, at 11 a.m. when Rollins will face No. 6 Tampa in Winter Park. Be there to support our swimmers!
