I’ll get right to the point. Menstrual products should be o ered freely. Period. Paying $8 for a box of tampons is a little outrageous, but you have to pay for what you need. Until you can’t a ord it. e price of tampons and pads has risen with in ation. According to PBS, this increase is due to supply chain problems left behind from the pandemic and rising prices in raw materials such as plastic and cotton. is leaves many women living in periodPeriodpoverty.poverty is when women cannot a ord to purchase period products. Living in period poverty a ects both women’s mental and physicalSomeonehealth.who is unable to a ord these products might have to skip work when their period comes, which can create an environment of embarrassment. Even though women cannot control their period, they might begin to blame themselves and their womanhood. ere are many long-lasting e ects of period poverty. is is why change is needed quickly. e discussion of period products being freely available for women has always been in the air, but the push for this discussion to be moved to action is stronger now thanRecently,ever. Scotland took a stand against period poverty and became the rst country to do so. Women everywhere have been showing their support and applauding this decision.According to the Washington Post, the nation will have menstrual products available for free in public spaces such as community centers, pharmacies and youth clubs. e U.S. should be the next country to follow suit. With these products being o ered in public areas, those who are struggling nancially can get what they need without judgment. Women who want their own supply could still go and buy period products from the store, but there would always be a free option for those who need it. Period poverty even a ects college students.According to a study by George Mason University’s College of Health and Human Service, more than 14% of college women experienced period poverty and 10% experienced period poverty every month in 2020. Too many women fall victim to period poverty. is should not be such a common issue. Scotland made the right decision for its people. It’s time for the U.S. to better care for its women.
Sororities, especially in the south, are based on tradition and often fall short in their e orts to change with the times. ese outdated organizations need to be more focused on inclusivity. ough these sororities might be open to anyone who identi es as a woman, they still have the unique say in who they choose to accept. Oftentimes though, LGBTQ recruits might struggle to receive aOnebid. particular instance of this discrimination has been in the spotlight recently on TikTok. A University of Alabama student, Grant Sikes, documented her
journey during what is known as Bama Rush. On the platform, Sikes explained that her sex is male, and she has always been more similar to what traditionally society portrays as a woman. She identi es as nonbinary.Whenconsidering joining Greek Life, she knew fraternities were not where she would belong but that sororities were more catered to her wants.Unfortunately, Sikes was rejected from all sororities at the university. From her videos, one can only assume she ts the mold of the classic sorority girl. Upon hearing the news of her dismissal, I was surprised and began to grow concerned.ForFall2021, 2,299 out of 2,501 women received a bid during recruitment, according to the Alabama Panhellenic Association. at is around a 92% chance of receiving a bid. With such good odds, the fact that Sikes did not receive a bid might be due to discrimination from the sororities. Even if Sikes were to be accepted into a sorority, more inclusivity issues might have arisen. For instance, sororities are often expected to mingle with fraternities. Often, there are parties where it is mandatory to bring someone of the opposite gender as a date. is might cause LGBTQ members to not feel as welcomed. Another issue that might arise for LGBTQ members is bullying. With parties and drinking, sororities could be dangerous for members like Sikes if other members are not welcoming towards them. ere’s a ne line between discrimination and personalized selection. E orts need to be made by sororities to ensure their organizations are inclusive and welcoming to all types of women while still being able to personalize their choice of members. Although these organizations might be outdated and have a lot to learn, like Sikes, if Greek life is something that interests and appeals to you, then it is worth giving it a shot.

A common reason for treating technology like contraband is the distraction resulting from it. When left unregulated, laptops quickly become weapons of mass distraction to the user and anyone who happens to gaze at the screen. It can be tempting to browse an endless stream of information and media when a lecture is boring. Regardless, laptops should still be welcome in a classroom because the device is not to blame for a student’s lack of e ort.

RISING WATERS: The water levels in Bayou Desiard have risen starkly in the past weeks.
Southeast US experiences heavy rain, ooding
“My parents’ driveway completely ooded and I had to miss a day and a half of classes because I didn’t want to risk ooding my car’s engine,” Amir Alanjjar, a freshmen computer science major, said. e sheer amount of rain last week means the threat of ooding is still there. “Given the saturated ground, there is re ally nowhere for water to go until we can dry out some,” atmospheric science professor Todd Murphy, said. “So any thunderstorm we get over the next week with heavy rain will be a ash ood risk.”
Central Mississippi faced some of the worst ooding in the system. Portions of I-20 were closed and the National Weather Service in Jackson put out rarely-issued ash ood emergencies around the state’s capital. e NWS in Jackson stated ooding of this magnitude is anywhere from a 1-in-200 to a 1-in-500-year event. Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves declared a state of emergency as the Pearl River in Jackson is set to ood.
Northeast Louisiana received the drought killer that it desperately needed. Unfortu nately, this weather system overstayed its welcome. From Aug. 21-28, over nine inches of rain fell in Monroe, and some nearby areas have claimed to have received over 10 inches.Sofar, 17.76 inches of rain have fallen in the month of August—a new record for Mon roe. e incessant downpours caused ash ooding in some areas and made the trek to class di cult for many students.
TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN: Many students walked through several inches of rain on their way to class last week after several weather fronts moved through the area. photos by Carley Nail
Water levels on Bayou Desiard have risen sharply since the torrent of storms came through last week with the highest numbers reaching over 71 feet. e pause in rain over the weekend should help these levels, but with more rain in the forecast, students need to be wary of possible ood dangers. And with the threat of ash ooding lingering in the near future, Murphy advises everyone to be aware of what to do in case of ooding.“People need to remember to not drive through ooded roadways—turn around, don’t drown,” Murphy said. “All it takes is a couple of feet of water to carry away vehi cles, including pickup trucks and SUVs. Also, we can do our part to decrease ood risk by clearing out debris near and around storm drains.”Even with the amount of rain Northeast Louisiana received, the region dodged the brunt of this storm system. Much of the southern region of the U.S. dealt with the same system that made its way through Monroe. In Dallas, the storm dumped over 10 inches in some areas in just a few hours. Dallas-Fort Worth received a total of 9.19 inches of rain in a 24-hour peri od—a new record. According to ABC News, Dallas County went under a state of disaster last Monday after a 60-year-old woman drowned in fast-moving oodwaters.

“If predictions prove accurate, the Pearl River is expected to crest on Monday, Au gust 29th, at 36 feet,” Reeves said. Anything over 26 feet is considered a ood stage according to CNN. Parts of Jackson have the potential to ood at around 34 feet and water could potentially seep into homes as it approaches the expected 36 feet. e ooding in these areas might have been made worse because of the drought conditions in the region.
“Droughts can make the ground drier and subsequently harder, making water absorb slower, which likely contributed to the lack of water runo and increase in ash ooding,” junior atmospheric science major Justin Richter said. With rain chances hanging around this week, these cities are not out of the woods just yet.

President Biden nally succeeded in pass ing a student debt forgiveness plan on Aug. 24. e plan includes thousands of dollars of relief for students who qualify. e plan comes as the ful llment of one of Biden’s campaign promises and carries on the series of recent wins the administration has seen in recent weeks. According to the White House, the plan in cludes up to $20,000 in relief for Pell Grant recipients and up to $10,000 to low-income borrowers.Individuals can qualify for the plan if they make less than $125,000 on a single income or $250,000 for married couples.

“What they’re learning in the class room, there really are a lot of real world applications for lots of those things, and we at ULM can actually be at the forefront of that.” Something that makes Dumas’s participation in this workshop even more meaningful for ULM is that she is not just a professor, she is an alumna.Warhawks can see Dumas’s suc cess and not just learn from it, but see themselves and strive for the same goals.
Professor participates in summer UN workshop
“It was really great to be able to read about their speci c programs that they’re doing out of their of ces and to kind of see the overlap with my own research,” Dumas said.Warhawks are fortunate to learn from Dumas after this experi ence. After hearing stories from her workshop and seeing the change she was able to make, research methods aren’t just numbers and party politics and gender inequali ty is taken a bit more seriously.
Go for the things you are hesitant about.
An education from ULM can put students on the same stage as a de gree from Harvard or Georgetown. Dumas believes this is one of the best things she took from the con ference—the con dence to go for things even when you think it’s a longshot.“Igotto have a really special and unique experience that I learned a lot from and that I’m bringing a lot back from to ULM,” Dumas said. “So I would say to take advantages of opportunities when they present themselves.”Dumastook a risk on herself and gained a once-in-a-lifetime oppor tunity. e ULM community can take a lesson from Dumas. Some times you have to let your wings spread and see where they take you.“You know when this opportuni ty came through to apply for this, I hesitated,” Dumas said. “I thought you know maybe this is too big a reach for me, but I tried anyway and it worked.”
EQUAL RIGHTS: Jennifer Dumas, a poltical science professor, was accepted into a United Nations workshop to present her research on gender inequality around the world.
“I think it’s great for students to see that because now it doesn’t seem as abstract,” Dumas said.

Food Dorm room favorite recipes from students
Lauren King “I like to make chicken alfredo in the Ouachita kitchen just because it’s a comfort food with me and my sister. We would always try and make some. She really liked my rec ipe from it because the sauce would be homemade. She would eat like the whole bowl whenever I would make it. She would always ask me to make it for her so it makes that homesickness feeling go away. It’s a pretty easy recipe. You just boil whatever noodles you like and then you boil your milk and your our, make it all nice and thick. en, add in your spices and your gi ant thing of cheese because there’s never too much. It’s just really nice. You can either separate it and add in the sauce later, or you can add in chicken to it too. Sometimes I don’t because I’m lazy and I don’t wanna go buy chicken. It works either way. It’s really nice and it’s an easy meal for any person that doesn’t know how to cook a lot. Can’t really mess up too bad.”
Destiny Ramos “Adjusting to college life was quite a big deal for my roommates and I. Living in the apartment and having access to a stove and oven made it easy to have home-cooked meals to make this place feel like home. Our favorite meal to cook is buf falo chicken tortellini. Before we moved in, I looked up easy home made meals on Pinterest and sent some to our group chat where we decided to cook our new favorite meal. For the meal you need but ter, minced garlic, our, chicken broth, chicken, cheese tortellini, bu alo sauce, ranch and shred ded cheese. First, we melted two tablespoons of butter in a pot and added just a little bit of minced garlic. en we whisked in two ta blespoons of our. Next, we very slowly add in 2 1/2 cups of chick en broth while whisking. en, we add one pack of tortellini to the pot and let it boil. While letting it boil, we shred a rotisserie chicken. Once the tortellini is cooked, we add in as much chicken as we feel necessary, 1/2 cup of bu alo sauce, 1/2 cup of ranch, and as much cheese as our heart desires, which is quite a lot, and then we stir. Having access to a kitchen makes college life feel a lot more homey.”

Logan Mier “Buy a ve-pound bag of chicken breast and you can meal prep for the week. Chop it up and you can make it into di erent meals.” Busi ness Administration major Logan Mier explains how he cooks week ly. “If you’re bad with chicken, you can do the same thing with pork, beef or whatever your tendency is. [Choice of sides] is up to prefer ence. I’m a carrot and cucumber kinda guy, so that’s just what I like on the side. It doesn’t necessarily have to go [with it]. It’s just whatev er you like.”
Mayli Morgan “My go-to meal is breakfast. I’m a breakfast person, so I like to make cinnamon rolls, eggs, bacon and all the fun pizazz. Breakfast is an all-day a air. I’m strictly a break fast person unless it’s chicken and wa es, then I’ll eat that. I prefer to put my cinnamon rolls in a circle shape then put them in the oven. While those are cooking, I put tur key bacon on a baking sheet pan and place those in the oven as well. Once the cinnamon rolls are done, I cook some scrambled eggs. And boom, breakfast is served.”
“Our go-to meal is fresh chick en breast, asparagus and potatoes in a garlic rosemary sauce. We put those in the oven, and we have this blackened chicken seasoning. Everything was fresh, and it was lit erally under $15 to make a whole meal that fed three people. It took maybe 30 minutes to cook. Quick and easy things to put in the oven work easier. If you have a kitchen, to be healthier you can cook a lot more instead of two-minute mac and cheese.”

1) You will have tons of homework. I just know a junior STEM major is reading this right now thinking “I have ve hours of home work a day.” And that’s probably true. But I had so much free time my freshman year.

Unless you refuse to work, you are going to be alright.
Busting College Myths: During my high school senior year, I heard all sorts of things about what college would be like. But only half of what I heard was correct. Incoming freshmen all have a di erent idea of what college will be like, but there are a few common myths high schoolers are told.
2) You must graduate in four years. I came to college with a perfect little plan. I would graduate in four years with my communi cations degree. is is how most students think their life will turn out. But you don’t have to t into this timeline. It’s okay to graduate early. It’s okay to graduate late. It’s okay to swap your ma jor six times because you don’t know what to do with your life. College is the perfect time to gure out what you want to do, and for some it takes longer than others.

Even with the trifecta of losses on the record, head coach Charlie Olson remains optimistic on the season moving forward. “ is weekend we saw exponential growth with this program,” Olson said. “Grit, IQ, depth, energy and excitement.

Cameron Jett e ULM athletics department has enough on its plate. Having students jump ship on game day shouldn’t be another issue it faces.

Some students would rather take pride in cheering against their own school and the athletes who they share a classroom with by taking the side of college football blueSupportbloods.the team you want to, but yelling “roll tide” or giving a “horns up” to ULM feels like giving a middle nger to the school you shamefully attend.
I’ve heard more than a few students say how “they” are going to stomp ULM this season. Last I checked everyone I talked to is here at ULM and doesn’t attend a di er ent university. If you really want to enjoy seeing Big Bertha rolled onto the eld or sing “Dixieland Delight” at the top of your lungs, why not go the extra step and enroll at the school you choose to support? Besides, seeing the underdogs nd success is what turns heads in all walks of life, not just sports. Would Rocky Balboa be remembered if Apollo Creed knocked him out cold in the rst round? Absolutely not. Breaking the status quo creates en tertainment and excitement at the expense of the expected victors.
