(MCT) The Eisenhower Memorial Commission, under fire from lawmakers and critics over a controversial design to honor the nation’s 34th president, Dwight D. Eisenhower, decided Wednesday in an unusual email vote to proceed with a revised design by famed architect Frank Gehry.

The 8-2 vote means that the commission, which has been dogged by disputes over the design and funding for the last several years, will return to the National Capital Planning Commission with the revised design Oct. 2.

Earlier this year, the commission, one of the memorial’s approving bodies, rejected the original Gehry plan.

The Eisenhower memorial was first approved by Congress in 1999.

(MCT) - Thousands of students from two dozen schools in Hong Kong skipped classes Monday to protest “dictatorial” control by the Chinese central government over the territory’s election rules.

Students began a week-long boycott with a rally on the campus of Chinese University of Hong Kong, where they demanded that Beijing withdraw its election reform plan.

The Hong Kong Federation of Students called for the resignation of the city’s top three officials and demanded that citizens be allowed to nominate candidates for the next chief executive election.

The protest followed a decision last month by China’s top legislative body to restrict the right of Hong Kong residents to elect their next leader in 2017.

(MCT) - A choppy clandestine video that surfaced Monday is likely to reinforce the widespread impression that the country’s drug cartels have gained a solid foothold in the Mexican news media.

The video, displayed on the website of the MVS radio network, shows two prominent journalists in the troubled state of Michoacan meeting with the fugitive leader of the Knights Templar drug cartel, Servando “La Tuta” Gomez, and holding an animated, friendly discussion with him. At the end, they accept a pile of bills.

One of the journalists, Eliseo Caballero Ramirez, was until midday the correspondent in Michoacan for the powerful Televisa network, the biggest mass media company in the Spanish-speaking world.

The video lasts about 25 minutes.

Vote passes for Students protest Youth boycott New video shows memorial redo new class policy election reform media with cartel (MCT) - Students at two schools in the Jefferson County Public Schools District, about 10 miles west of Denver, walked out of classes around 8:10 a.m. Wednesday. Many of them marched outside school gates, carrying signs reading “Education without limitation” and “Civil disobedience is patriotism.”

Students and teachers there have been up in arms about a proposal that would require history lessons to promote citizenship, patriotism, and respect for authority and not “condone civil disorder, social strife, or disregard of the law.” The policy would also guide teachers to “present positive aspects of the United States and its heritage.”

Fourteen of the district’s 17 high schools have now participated in some sort of protest to the changes.

‘Freaky’ thinking better for business Smoke detected

in library, students question security

by Meghan Dollar

ULM students interacted with and learned from successful figures in the business and economic industry during the annual Business and Social Sciences Symposium.

The main theme was thinking outside of the usual stigma surrounding the marketable business industry.

The inaugural night of the two-day symposium commenced with a reception for all incoming freshmen.

Students attended various guest lectures.

Rayford Westmoreland was anxious to use the symposium for the intended networking purposes.

“It’ll help just because it will put you in contact with people and the more people you’re in contact with can’t do anything but help you,” said Westmoreland, a freshman c o n s t r u c t i o n Westmoreland management major.

Seth Hall, operations manager of the College of Business and Social Sciences was pleased that the students got to interact with alumni on the “First Job Panel.”

Stephen Dubner speaks to students on Tuesday in the SUB Ballrooms.

“I’ve been affiliated with the College of Business for seven or eight years now as a student and as a staff member and the symposium is just awesome,” Hall said.

One event was aptly titled “Think Like a Freak” in reference to the three-time co-author and former New York Times journalist Stephen Dubner.

The symposium closed out with the highly anticipated Q&A with Dubner followed by his lesson on how to fully “Think Like a Freak.”

Cody Parker, a business administration graduate student, attended

the symposium for a fourth year.

“The business symposium is an outstanding testament to ULM’s goals,” Parker said.

Parker noted the networking opportunities with people such as Dubner, with whom he briefly spoke.

“Little moments like that are the cornerstones of our perception. They shape us. Never waste a opportunity,” Parker said.

Parker called this combined with professors’ offers for bonus points for attendance a “pretty sweet deal.” contact Meghan Dollar at dollarme@warhawks.ulm.edu

Students evacuated the library last Monday night after smoke was detected on the third floor.

Though everyone left the building safely, the question of what happened that night still remains.

“No one has ever found what caused the smoke,” said Don Smith, dean of the library.

“The firefighters Hunter could not find any evidence of any fire.”

Ashley Hunter was in the computer lab on the first floor when she heard a man telling students to get out of the building.

“It seemed like he was taking students down from the third floor for causing a ruckus,” said Hunter, a freshman preoccupational therapy assistant major.

Hunter soon realized it was an emergency. However, she said she never heard the fire alarm go off.

“It was smooth and everything went

efficiently, but the fire alarm would probably be a lot better and safer,” Hunter said.

Students on the first and fifth floors were not able to hear the alarm.

Smith said the alarm was programmed to ring on the floor the fire is occurring on, the floor above it and the floor beneath it.

Only the second, third and fourth floors heard the alarm that night.

“I don’t know what would be entailed to change the alarm system so that it would ring throughout the building each time,” Smith said.

Smith said it was intentionally installed that way to meet fire code when the library was built.

Other students who weren’t there that night were not informed about the incident. Morgan Smith, a senior Spanish major, said she was never notified.

“The campus didn’t announce it,” Smith said. “They didn’t do anything to reassure us that everything was okay.” contact Tyler Smith at smithtw@warhawks.ulm.edu

BRIEFS

Suicide walk raises money

“Out of the Darkness” suicide prevention walk will take place Saturday, Oct. 4 in Bayou Park.

On-site registration begins at 8 a.m. The mile-long walk is free, and pets are welcome.

The event is set to raise money for suicide awareness and counseling programs.

The day will feature a balloon launch, refreshments, activities for children and music to keep spirits high.

Health vendors will also set up an expo to feature their mental health programs and services.

Future of Natatorium uncertain, VAPA professors perform SGA based referendum unlikely partner piece on national stage A Natatorium related referendum may not be in the future for students according to SGA president Adrian LeJeune.

LeJeune LeJeune said that while some action will be taken concerning the Nat, the action will most likely not come from within the SGA. LeJeune said that President Nick Bruno is wary of raising student fees higher than they already stand.

According to LeJeune, what happens to the Nat is most likely in the hands of administration.

LeJeune said that while a SGA based referendum is unlikely, CAB may be pushing for a slight increase in fees to help supplement their budget.

“Buy one get one free daiquiris”

Tina Mullone, associate professor of dance, and Mel Mobley, associate professor of music, recently held a unique and well-received performance during the Modern Dance Festival in Fort Worth, TX. The work, a multimedia piece titled “Love and Violence in America 2014,” was the second multimedia performance partnership between the two.

Mullone and Mobley created “Babel” earlier this year.

Mullone said the work benefitted from a national audience and that they felt a need to present it on a na-

tional stage.

The two chose a popular Fort Worth museum for their performance.

Mullone said she suggested the Modern Art Museum not only for its unique dancing space, but also as a great opportunity to perform in a nationally recognized space.

Mullone and Mobley will bring the performance to ULM for the annual Fall Dance Fusion on Nov. 21.

VAPA director Derle Long said he is very excited to see these types of interdisciplinary collaborations from the VAPA facility.

OPINION HAWKEYE P.O.V.

Get freaky with your life If there’s anything we learned from Freakonomics co-author Stephen Dubner, it’s that you can’t predict the future.

There will always be people that try and there will certainly be people to believe it’s possible, but it’s not and you can’t.

That whole concept is a lot for college students to swallow. It seems to go against everything we have been taught since we started school as little 3-feet-tall, pre-school nuggets.

We have spent a majority of our higher education being told to think ahead and plan for the “real world.”

Pick a degree that you will want a career in five years from now, get halfway through your undergrad only to start panicking over graduate school admissions and start studying for your tests two weeks ahead of time.

It sounds easy and straightforward but just like Dubner said, you can’t plan.

You can’t guarantee that you will be a biologist with your biology degree and you can’t guarantee that you’ll have the grades for law school.

Because right now you want a biology degree and you’re set on it, but you may decide to open a local cupcake bakery later. Law school sounds great, but being a musician may sound like a better plan.

Changing your mind about who you want to be isn’t the result of poor planning; it’s just a side effect of being human.

Go with the flow.

Stop planning and just do what you’re feeling is right.

Pranks for publicity cross lines KATE HUFF Sam Pepper is a popular “pranking” Youtuber. But when did pranking turn into sexual harassment and assault?

That seems to be the majority, if not the only, content that Pepper uploads to his channel.

His latest video involves him pinching random women on the street on their bottoms. Many of the women react with fear or shock, with one woman even saying “No, I don’t like that.”

Pranking should be a fun activity that doesn’t harm anyone. It should cause confusion not anger or fear.

You wouldn’t stab your friend or co-worker and then yell, “You got pranked bro!”

That’s not how this works.

Now I know there are people out there, men, women, and everything in between who will defend Pepper’s actions.

Sexual harassment and assault are acts that involve sexual activities, no matter how small, with which one or more participants are not comfort-

able.

When you cross the line, you are no longer a prankster.

You are a predator.

Handcuffing women and forcing them to make out with you before you release them isn’t fun or a prank. It’s harassment.

Many of the women in these videos seem uncomfortable but try to laugh it off.

When you put pressure and a camera on someone you are normalizing the harassment.

Pepper tried to redeem himself by releasing a big reveal video stating that his prank was to raise awareness for male victims of sexual violence, but it is a hard story to believe.

When you do something over and over again, it is hard to believe that every video produced is a social experiment.

Raising awareness for harassment by harassing an already afraid and oppressed portion of the population is not raising awareness.

It is making an already awful situation more terrible by perpetuating the problem.

Do not watch Pepper’s videos.

Giving him more views only allows him to continue his abominable behavior.

But don’t ignore what is happening either.

Many prominent members of the community are cutting ties with Pepper and speaking out against him.

It can be scary using your voice, but it is what is needed. More people

need to speak up against this kind of harassment.

It can’t be allowed to go any further.

Some will say that pinching someone in a private area is harmless. It’s just a pinch.

Whistling at a stranger on the street may be considered equally as harmless, just like shouting “compliments” to women you don’t know.

But it isn’t.

Women everywhere are terrified to walk anywhere when it is dark outside.

Just the other day a compliment was shouted at a very close friend.

After ignoring it, she was called vile names and followed the entire way to her dorm.

It is not your place to compliment strangers, but if you feel the need to, do so with tact.

If someone looks nice, tell them they look nice. Don’t tell a stranger they have legs that you wouldn’t mind seeing in a certain position.

That isn’t a compliment. It’s disgusting.

Think before you speak. And if that is too difficult, ask yourself if what you are about to say would be a compliment you would give your mother or sister.

Think about how you would feel if someone said what you were planning on saying to your girlfriend, mother or sister.

Would you be angry? Disgusted?

Imagine how she feels every day. contact Kate Huff at huffka@warhawks.ulm.edu

OPINION

Tejal’s LastWords:

Technology not always necessary

In a fit of hunger and procrastination, the Hawkeye staff took Thursday night off and went out to Chili’s for dinner (2 for 20 you guys. Bring on the chipotle chicken crispers and ribs).

When we took our seats, we noticed each table had a miniature TV/tablet sort of thing. Of course, we couldn’t mind our own business or keep our hands to ourselves, so we started to play with it.

With some help from the server, we found out it was an electronic waiter. An actual, touch screen waiter.

You could place drink orders without going to the bar, send your food order directly to the kitchen, play games and even pay your bill at the end of the meal, all with the tip of your finger.

My initial thought was, “Who has quarters, I need to play games on this thing.” This eventually turned into, “Wait, why do we even need a human waiter if we have this thing?”

While technology is a pretty cool and necessary thing, it’s becoming more and more obvious that humans are rather terrible at thinking ahead.

If the opportunity for something new and innovative comes along, we’ll take it without really considering the long-term consequences.

Our ability to innovate and to produce what doesn’t exist in nature is the reason humans can overcome diseases, communicate with people on the other side of the world and know what exists even beyond our little blue and green ball of stuff in the universe.

We have the ability to create, but just because we can doesn’t mean we should.

Imagine if the mini-TV waiter became efficient enough that Chili’s found there was no longer a need for human labor around the restaurant. Then, restaurant chains around the world followed Chili’s brilliant plan and decided they didn’t need people either.

Cutting labor is cutting costs and that’s good, right?

In the United States alone, this change would result in the loss of roughly 2.36 million jobs in the restaurant industry.

Changes like this are affecting every industry, whether it’s restaurants, farming, medical services or even daily life.

We as a country want to complain that it’s impossible to find a job in today’s economy, but we look for every chance to outsource human labor to technology.

But while it’s easy to throw blame on the U.S.,

there is a constant, worldwide technology battle over what country can build and implement technology first. The battle is accelerating with no bounds, and the U.S. is simply doing what every other country is doing: keeping up.

Humans are literally eliminating the need for people.

The world needs to take a moment to slow down and to simply be human. We should continue to solve problems that exist, but stop creating ones that don’t.

That’s a pretty lofty goal when you’re thinking big, but think a little smaller.

What’s wrong with going out to dinner with your friends and family and actually enjoying the experience without the help of a table-top gaming system? Are we really so impatient that we can’t stand the thought of waiting an extra ten seconds for our waiter to walk 100 feet to the kitchen and place the dinner order?

Not everything needs to be done quickly or without effort. Not everything should be controlled.

Not all problems are actually problems. contact Tejal Patel at pateltn@warhawks.ulm.edu

Members of Kappa Alpha Psi have tagged the campus with chalk for their ‘Takeover’ campaign announcing their return.

#Takeover campaign for redemption

by Carmen Blackwell

The Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity announced its return to campus.

The fraternity was suspended from the university in the fall of 2012 due to violations of its bond-brotherhood.

During their suspension period, the “Nupe” brothers were under heavy surveillance by not only the university but also the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity National Board.

It seemed as though the Nupes vanished from ULM without a trace.

This question arose in the last two years: “What happened to the fraternity and why?” With no explanation to the suspension, chatter among the student body lingered.

September 29, 2014

Caitlin Jones, a junior radiologic technology major said, “I remember seeing them all around campus my freshman year in 2012. They were one of the most popular fraternities on campus, and next thing I knew, they’d just disappeared and no one knew the real reason why.”

Jones recalled past memories of attending a few of the Nupes’ parties with some of her friends in 2012 before their suspension.

“I’m eager to see what they will bring back to campus this year!”

Jones said.

Kappa Alpha Psi president Jerry Cox received a phone call on September 7, 2012, rendering news that the fraternity would be placed on national probation.

The senior toxicology major said, “I’ll never forget that call. I was just elected in as president in May of 2012. At that moment, I knew changes had to be made for the betterment of our chapter.”

Any kind of representation of the chapter on and off campus was prohibited during the suspension.

Cox said, “I don’t know what people thought, but there was absolutely no hazing involved.”

The University Mile is open to the public as well as to students. The event allows the university and the surrounding communities to come together in a healthy and safe way.

People regardless of age and physical ability are eligible to participate in the University Mile.

Chantel Davis said that she heard about the event from an email.

“I’m glad that I did, it was amazing to run with such a large group of people and I will try to participate each year for as long as I can,” said Davis, a freshman pre-pharmacy major.

The University Mile is being hosted by the Ouachita Valley Road Runner this year.

According to the organization’s website, it is a non-profit organization that supports safe running in the Monroe, West Monroe and the Ouachita Valley area.

Davis

The six categories of runners include the first ten males and females to finish the race and the top ten male and female masters ages 40 and up to

finish the race.

The other two categories are for junior children who are ages 12 and under and those that are physically challenged.

Jackson Neyland, a freshman communication major, said he was excited when he heard about the University Mile.

“I am not the best when it comes to stuff like this but I thought it might be fun to run with friends and meet new people,” Neyland said.

German poetry lost in translation

by Olivia Barfield

The difference between people of different nations ends beneath the skin, according to Claudia Grinnell.

Grinnell, an associate professor in the School of Humanities, presented “Kriegsgedichte: German Poetry of World War I” as part of the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of World War I. Grinnell’s presentation focused on the writings of German soldiers and citizens. According to Grinnell, World War I poets saw the world change and reported on it.

“We were asked to do presentations on things that interested us in connection to the war,” said Grinnell, a German immigrant to the U.S. Grinnell chose to discuss the points of view of German soldiers rather than American soldiers, which exposed many students to a side of the war they don’t often see.

Grinnell said American and German poets did not differ much during the time period.

Up ‘til Dawn combats childhood cancer Fraternity

Katee Fairchild, a junior pre-pharmacy major, participates in Capture the Cure Tuesday in Scott Plaza.

Up ‘til Dawn board members worked through the homecoming festivities to raise awareness and funds for St. Jude.

“Up ‘til Dawn is a philanthropic organization that raises money and awareness for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This year awareness week happened to be the same as homecoming week,” said Katee Fairchild, a junior pre-pharmacy major.

“We educated everyone as much as we could about the costs of St. Jude and what all the patients go through,” said Fairchild, sponsorship chair for Up ‘til Dawn.

Fairchild said the trivia event was her favorite part of the childhood cancer awareness week.

“A lot of people were surprised to find out it takes two million a day to run St. Jude. No family ever pays for anything. They even have a school on their campus so the kids don’t fall behind,” Fairchild said.

The organization held a T-shirt sale and team registration early in the week. During “Capture for the Cure” on Tuesday, members tried to raise funds to escape “jail.”

Twenty-four teams will participate in Up ‘til Dawn this year, according to Fairchild.

“I feel like we have already

reached more people than last year and with this many teams already together it will be a change for the best,” Fairchild said.

Karly Hubbard, executive president of the board, said the week was definitely successful.

Over 50 years ago, Shelby White drove through what is now the ULM campus and came across the Methodist campus ministry located in a small white house.

She wrote a letter that was four pages long a few years later, describing in great detail how beautiful the campus was on that fine morning .

White talked about how ashamed she was to see the tiny little house that held the ministry that she had no affiliation with prior to that day.

After that drive, it became White’s personal mission to raise a fund for a new building.

That building would later house the campus ministry and hangout now known as the Wesley Foundation.

“She planted the seed. This ministry has done a lot over the past 50 years and it’s because of her,” said Molly Masters, a junior business major.

The building was completed on September 23, 1964.

ULM received attention once again when five members of the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity were nationally recognized.

Michael Roboski, a senior marketing major, said he was humbled and surprised to learn that he received the fraternity’s Order of the Sphinx Award.

It is only given out to a “select few nationwide.”

According to the fraternity website, the award recognizes undergraduate leaders and their contributions to the fraternity, chapter and campus.

This award is given out to the top 85 members of the fraternity in the nation.

Roboski said it was especially important that five members in his chapter received it as it shows that the chapter has proven itself worthy in the past three years.

Tyler Buccola said the award demonstrates the members’ willingness to surpass their designated roles to serve as role Roboski models, leaders and gentlemen toward peers.

Buccola said the award means that the organization sees him and the others who received the award as “primary examples of a Delta Sigma Phi.” “This only makes me want to strive to do better and do more for my fraternity and campus to maintain that image,” Buccola said.

Each of the recipients were instrumental in getting the chapter back on campus.

Members helped the organization grow and mentored younger male students, according to Seth Hall.

“This organization needs to be recognized as these guys are making a difference in people’s lives,” said Hall, the fraternity’s faculty advisor.

Delta Sigma Phi has 104 active chapters in the United States.

Photographs of 50 years of Wesley history were placed around the building for viewing after the commemorative service and tree planting on Saturday.

As Michael Roboski waited for the Homecoming king results, he didn’t think he would get it. He was prepared for a loss.

A week later, he stood beside Adrian LeJeune, a crown adorning both of their heads. The crowd applauded the homecoming king and queen of 2014.

Believe it or not, Roboski wasn’t always a ULM fan. He was reluctant to come here, but his mother encouraged him and opened him up to an abundance of opportunities. His mother was a member of the Sound of Today in the ‘80s.

As she escorted her son at the pep rally Saturday, was the first time she walked on the field since then.

But she wasn’t the only mother escorting her crowned child. LeJeune, a senior toxicology major, stood tall beside her own mother.

“It’s kind of untraditional,” said LeJeune. “My mom is like the biggest supporter of me. She does everything for me. She’s my rock. I think she’s the one that deserves to walk me out of all people.”

LeJeune was excited to have a lot of her family come up to see her. She is from Crowley, which is three hours south, and it’s been difficult for her grandparents to see her.

The Campaign LeJeune said it was an amazing honor to be nominated by the SGA and selected as queen. She doesn’t always like the campaigning side because she feels awkward asking people to vote for her, but she didn’t stress about it.

“Whatever is gonna happen will happen. I know there are so many great people involved here and no matter which way it went it’s going to be okay. I still love my ULM,” LeJeune said.

Roboski, a senior marketing major, decided to avoid flyers and go all-digital with his campaign.

“I just trusted that I had people who would share my photo and talk about it,” Roboski said.

Roboski believes the best part about serving as king during homecoming week was the time he got to spend with LeJeune. They are PREP partners. They were the “PREP mom and dad this year so that was a blessing to get

“We would be feeding the turtles people.”

a chance to be king and queen together,” Roboski said.

The Royals LeJeune hit a few bumps in the royal road. At the luncheon last Monday, she dropped her crown.

“Which is kind of funny because of all people, I would automatically drop the crown that was placed on my head. I hope that’s not like bad luck,” LeJeune said.

Roboski said anything is good luck.

Besides being sick all week, LeJeune also had trouble finding a car for the homecoming parade.

“I was gonna ride a bike. Seth Hall offered me his motorcycle. Then someone found me a car,” LeJeune said.

But LeJeune was really excited for everything.

“This is something that obviously not a lot of people get the opportunity to do. It’s definitely the coolest thing I’ve been blessed with,” LeJeune said.

If LeJeune could issue any royal decree, it would be the stoning of any ULM student who wears any item from another university on campus.

“Is stoning too harsh? Not to death, enough to shame, I don’t want to kill anyone. Just enough to impact them,” said LeJeune. “Oh and free mini corndogs.”

Roboski would sacrifice the offenders to the turtles.

“We’re feeding the turtles. We would be feeding the turtles people. We’re doing bad things,” LeJeune said.

Words to the People LeJeune believes that college experience is only as good as students allow it to be.

“People who aren’t as happy with ULM as they could be haven’t gotten to experience something,” LeJeune said.

While organizations like SGA and PREP aren’t for everyone, LeJeune loves her involvement with it and said there is something at ULM for everyone.

“ULM has amazing diversity. We’re not a specific type of school. We have so much. That’s what I love about ULM,” LeJeune said.

Roboski encourages students to get involved.

“You can have a 4.0 GPA but if you don’t also have a 4.0 life experience you’re not going to get far in life,” Roboski said. contact Ashley Lyons at lyonsar@warhawks.ulm.edu

Which Game of Thrones character are you?

LeJeune: I’ve never gotten to watch it. I know I would love it.

Roboski: She would be Margaery. You’re very pleasant to talk to, you’re pleasant to look at and you would be very tactful in keeping peace between people while still getting your way.

Lejeune: I love keeping peace.

Roboski: My character would be Ned Stark. I believe in honor and doing the right thing even if the consequences are decapitating.

LeJeune: He gets decapitated? How unfortunate.

Robsoki: I just really relate to the his character and the whole Stark family in general. I’m a step ahead though. I learned from what Ned did wrong. He was the only pure good character besides his stubbornness. I don’t think I’ll get decapitated. I really hope not.

LeJeune: I’ll do my best to not. I’ll persuade them not to.

Host and comedian James Yon shocked the crowd with the reveal of his pink sports bra at the CAB Comedy Show in the SUB Ballrom last Monday

students with laughter

by Sabrina Simms

The SUB Ballroom was filled with bright red faces and boisterous laughter as James Yon hosted a comedy show.

CAB kicked off homecoming week with a comedy show last Monday, starring Yon and Chloe Hillard.

James Yon hosts his own show on Dish Network titled “Viral Breakdown” and was a finalist on NBC’s “Stand Up for Diversity.” As a native of Florida, he was the 2011 and 2012 winner of the Orlando Improv’s “Clash of the Comics.”

“My inspiration comes from my family, especially my kids. It can be crazy trying to be a good father and a comedian at the same time. This is the first college gig I ever did. Everyone was so warm and friendly and everyone laughed. I had a good time,” Yon said.

Yon covered a large ray of topics, from shouting in a Catholic church to how to catch beads at Mardi Johnson Gras. Letting the abundance of laughter be the judge, the highlight of the night was when Yon striped off his shirt to reveal a hot-pink brazier, which sent some students rolling out of their seats.

Chloe Hilliard followed his act with her tale on how her grandmother thinks she should catch a man, which apparently was through baking and picking cotton.

Hilliard was raised in a Hasidic Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. She started her career in journalism, but later used her unique experiences and knack for spinning

“To be a good comic you have to talk about stuff you know.”

Chloe Hilliard, guest comedian stories to become one of America’s great comedians.

“All of my material comes from my life,”said Hilliard. “To be a good comic you have to start from what you know.

So I don’t try to talk about stuff that I don’t know or it wont seem genuine.”

Her performance drew out a roar of Warhawk laughter, especially among the young men of the crowded ballroom.

Robert Johnson, a sophomore psychology major, enjoyed Hilliard’s act most.

“Comedians are friends,” said Johnson.

Hilliard recently appeared on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” and was featured on AXSTV’s “Gotham Comedy Live.” Hilliard enjoyed coming to tour Monroe and trying fried alligator for the first time.

Yon said that this was the best stand up comedy experience that he’s had in Louisiana thus far, and described his audience as gracious. contact Sabrina Simms at simmsse@warhawks.ulm.edu

Adrian LeJeune wasn’t the only queen crowned last week. On Thursday, six lovely ladies stood on stage in the SUB Ballroom, but only one walked away with a first place $400 prize.

Kenya is the name. Kenya Swallow Harddik. Say it slow for it to make sense.

Marc Calhoun created Kenya to make sure the audience had a show and everybody left with a smile on his or her face. He originally had another name in mind.

“My name was gonna be Ophelia Cumming but I changed that because Ophelia Nuts wanted to come in, pun intended, and interrupt my greatness,” said Calhoun, a junior biology major.

Calhoun believes the Miss(ter) Pageant shows how interactive ULM is with the student body and gives them a relaxing fun time.

“We make them laugh and realize why they chose ULM to be their school,” said Calhoun. “This is a good look for ULM. It brings a lot of attention.”

Calhoun said preparing was hard because of everything else he had going on, but he was determined to enter the pageant with a bang.

“My biggest competition was definitely the old woman of the show, Mrs. Surefire,” said Calhoun. “She had a lot of wisdom and showed off a lot of her great talent such as bathing.”

The only thing Calhoun was nervous about was performing his song.

He still won the crowd over with his lip-synching a dance with the microphone stand.

His favorite part was the end of the show when his fellow contestants were ready to fight over the crown.

One eager contestant in particular was Riccie Gray as Anita Woodcock.

Clockwise from top: Christopher Adkins prepares for a dance as Ophelia Nuts.

Riccie Gray shows off his feminine side as Anita Woodcock. Marc Calhoun as Kenya Swallow Harddik flashes a first place smile at the Miss(ter) Pageant last Thursday in the SUB Ballroom.

The crowd’s shock rang through the ballroom as Gray took his wig off.

What exactly went through Kenya’s mind when a faux fight broke out on stage?

“Get out the way girl, you’re gonna win anyway,” Calhoun said.

Christopher Adkins placed third as Ophelia Nuts. He had nothing but nice things to say about his fellow contestants.

“They’re all nice ladies and I’m glad I got to know them over the last day and a half,” said Adkins, a junior prepharmacy major.

Pharmacy student Rino Nicholas, returned as Cho Khan Deek to serve as co-host. He placed second last year.

“It was great to come back and I would love to come back next year,” Nicholas said.

He believes the competition was fair and that Kenya deserved her crown.

“She is poise and classy and she almost got in a fight but she didn’t,” said Nicholas. “And the fight with Anita Woodcock, well I could’ve taken her.

She wasn’t that big. Whatever.”

Calhoun said Kenya would like to thank the audience and all of her fans.

This was Kenya’s first performance and probably her last.

She appreciates everything her fans have done for her including the “trophies and scholarship money.”

“She’s going to pursue her career in modeling and interpretive dancing,” Calhoun said. contact Ashley Lyons at lyonsar@warhawks.ulm.edu

-commonly referred to as celebrity stalkers or obsessed fans -victim is usually of higher status or a stranger -believes their victim is the perfect match and would love them back -not usually based on sexual obsession, but a romantic or spiritual connection -efforts for contact are common, but this obsession is usually kept secret -studies victims from afar

‘Lolita’ can teach you about stalkers

ASHLEY LYONS There is a type of obsessive behavior that is different from the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder that we’re familiar with: stalker behavior.

While stalkers can exhibit OCD traits, this behavior is dangerous to many.

According to officer.com, one in 12 women and one in 45 men are stalked in their lifetime.

Stalking is common in college campuses. Sometimes the victim may not even know for a long time. With social media, it’s easier for stalkers to obtain information on their victim.

It’s important to always stay up to date on the constantly changing privacy settings on sites like Facebook.

“Lolita” by Vladimir Nabokov is a great example of the nature of stalking. Main character Humbert Humbert has an obsession with young girls.

His fixation is traced back to when he was a 13-year-old boy in love with 12-year-old Annabel Leigh. Annabel Leigh dies a few months later and this haunts Humbert for the rest of his life.

It’s a traumatic thing to lose someone close to you as a child. It’s even more traumatic when that someone was also a child. Sometimes this is how obsessions and phobias can manifest inside a person.

All it takes is one awful experience with to turn someone off something. Or in this case, turn on.

In his adult life, Humbert is obsessed with sexually aware young girls that remind him of Annabel until he meets Dolores Haze, or as he privately calls her Lolita, the 12-year-old daughter of the woman whose home he rented a room in.

Humbert constantly watches and follows Lolita, flirting with her and believing

that she is flirting back. He writes about her in his journal and comes to despise her mother. Humbert even fantasizes about killing Lolita’s mother.

Eventually he marries Lolita’s mother just to be closer to his “true love.”

Long story short, Humbert ends up taking Lolita on the run around the country after an accident occurs. He becomes convinced that she is the one who has seduced him and is paranoid that this child is unfaithful to him.

Then in an ironic turn of events, another man becomes obsessed with Lolita and Humbert accuses her of conspiring with “their stalker.”

Humbert is a strong case of the unreliable narrator. He seems like a good guy.

He’s witty and intelligent. A beautiful writer. But he’s a mentally disturbed stalker (and pedophile).

This is how many stalkers seem in the beginning: harmless. A stalker can seem like a good person with no ill intentions.

Until they act on their delusions and their victim doesn’t return the affection.

Humbert grew increasingly obsessed with Lolita and eventually paranoid about

her actions. He saw behavior in her that wasn’t there. He believed almost everything that happened was her doing. She was the seducer. She was wrong one.

She was a child with no parents to protect her. The fictional foreword introduced Dr. John Ray who states that Humbert’s tale will be a favorite in the psychiatric world and encourage parents to raise their children better.

Humbert seems like a cross between a Love Obsession Stalker and an Erotomanic Stalker. Just like an Erotomanic, he keeps his obsession private at first. He doesn’t speak of it and while he does have contact with Lolita, most of his fixation on her is from afar.

Until he gets found out. Humbert then desperately wants a relationship with Lolita and acts on extremes to achieve it.

This can happen to anyone. it’s imporant to always be aware of your surroundings and the people in it. If you believe you or a friend are being stalked, act now. Don’t think it’s all in your head.

It’s all in your stalker’s head. contact Ashley Lyons at lyonsar@warhawks.ulm.edu

Fine art majors win international scholarship

by Meghan Dollar

The agony settles in. The wait is overbearing. Letters are opened and the winners are announced.

Lacy Mitcham and Ben Bennett, senior fine art majors, minds were finally at ease after receiving the International Phi Kappa Phi Art Fraternity Scholarships.

“I was just thankful, really thankful,” said Bennett. “I was really nervous because I took kind of a risk.

I entered just sculpture, I didn’t enter 2D or anything and when I got it I was happy.”

He then proceeded to text Mitcham who was still waiting to find out her result.

“He texted me like 20 times over the next couple of days,” said Mitcham. “I didn’t get mine until three or four days after because it was at my mom’s house. I was like ‘Mom I don’t even care. I don’t want the letter just open it.”

Both students are graduating this semester with a concentration in sculpture. These winners are not unfamiliar with the spotlight.

Mitcham and Bennett are locally well known in the world of art for their different mediums regularly

showing their work in the ‘Downtown Gallery Crawl.’

“I was just thankful...”

Ben Bennett, senior fine art major The artists have known each other for a while now and their conversation tends to flow much in the same way their collaboration as artists do.

They collaborated on their own show in June at the Downstairs Gallery.

“We had the room to ourselves for the two man show,” Mitcham said.

Bennett chimes in with perfect timing without speaking over her.

“Most of that work is what we won the scholarship with,” Bennett said.

Mitcham and Bennett are the only two sculpture majors left this semester.

Although they were working on individual pieces for the competition entry, the opinion each contributed was vital.

“The work was made in the same space and as it was happening around each other, we always had dialogue. We got critical feedback from each other. I think it was our biggest source at the time,” said Bennett.

“Then you could see it start to come out in the work and it was like…it made sense.” contact Meghan Dollar at dollarme@warhawks.ulm.edu

Military band returns to full house of friends

by Amber McCormick

Joyous and triumphant melodies filled Brown Auditorium Sept. 24 as the Marine Core band serenaded faculty, students and the public.

From the moment the baton went down to signal the first note played, the audience stopped all movement and paid attention to the band.

Brown Auditorium can hold close to 200 people and every seat was filled. Over half of the attendees were veterans or family members that had someone currently serving.

Jesse Tingle, a former student, played with the band.

Tingle was fourth chair flute.

The band played 12 songs. The crowd gave a standing ovation after each song.

Members from the Marine Core band come from not just New Orleans but Washington as well as many other Marine bases.

The narrator for this evening said that despite the main duty of the soldiers in the band each and every one of them would go to war to fight for their country if they were ever needed.

There were three different conductors throughout the performance.

The songs were split into groups of three.

Tranae Brown, a freshman pre-pharmacy major said the music reminded him of a classical song she’d hear in a movie.

“This was the best concert I have been to, it was very beautiful. The music was so smooth and it sounded like something I’d hear on a movie,” Brown said.

Brown also said that if she had any kind of musical talent she would love to be in the band.

Oliver David Oliver, a senior music education major, said he considered joining the military to have the opportunity of playing in the band.

“I would love to be a part of the bands, and I would love to join the military,” Oliver said.

Brown said he has a lot of family in the army so it wouldn’t deter him to join even if that mean him going to Afghanistan.

Brown is a member of Kappa Kappa Psi and The Sound of Today. contact Amber McCormick at mccormal@warhawks.ulm.edu

Sports more than just competition

TYLER SMITH Let’s give it up for sports. Every sport that exists. These activities may look like a pointless competition that attracts the attention of thousands of people. But they have a much deeper effect than one might think.

Sport are not a waste of time. Sports are what bring people together.

If it weren’t for events like the Super Bowl, the World Cup and Grand Slams, some families would never see, speak or spend time with each other.

Without sports, many parents would have nothing in common with their kids and could never relate to them.

Without sports, men would be silent at the barbershop and women

couldn’t talk about how good the players look in their uniforms while getting their hair done.

Some teenagers would never be motivated to go to college and make something meaningful of their lives.

People think others are too obsessed with sports.

When you see a young person kick a ball through the net, run through the end zone, across fourth base or shoot a winning three-pointer, his or her excitement isn’t always coming from a self-conceited place.

They could instead be paying homage to the parent or coach who took the time to help them master their craft.

Sports are very subjective. Everyone has their favorite sport, team, player, and some people know nothing at all.

Those are all things on the surface though. Sports have an emotional tie that cannot be explained. contact Tyler Smith at smithtw@warhawks.ulm.edu

Soccer stumbles in Sun Belt play

Sophomore Antonia Land on defense durings Friday’s game

photo by Daniel Russell

ULM fell to Georgia Southern on Friday’s Sun Belt Conference opener at the ULM Soccer Complex.

This loss was a bit more personal due to the fact that it was also family weekend.

Relatives who traveled from all over the country along with Warhawk students and supporters were a part of the crowd of at least 290 who attended the skirmish and cheered loudly as the players outshot the Eagles 12-10 and had a large 9-2 lead in corner kicks.

Georgia Southern’s (6-2-1, 1-0 SBC) Jennifer Wittick first scored in the game around the 20th minute.

The Warhawk’s (6-4-1, 0-1 SBC) redshirt sophomore Antonia Land answered back with a penalty kick during the 34th minute. This is the captain’s third goal of the season.

“I was lucky enough that Pillon got the handball inside the box. It’s a pressure shot but just got to place it right in,” Land said.

Land, senior Cerene Arsenault and sophomores Katherine Werther, Whitney Tuckfield and Mary Ashton Lembo played every minute of the game.

Werther made four saves during the 90 minutes but dropped her first decision putting her at 5-1 this year.

The Eagles, making their SBC debut, had to work hard around the

Warkhawks to get the goals scored by Melinda Lukas and Stephanie Gratto in the second half that won the game Land 3-1.

G e o r g i a Southern goalie Katie Merson (6-2-1) picked up the win and made four saves as well.

This was the first time the two soccer programs had ever played one another.

Despite the outcome, Coach Roberto Mazza was pleased with the team’s performance.

“I thought we played good enough to win to be honest. I’m very proud of our girls, how we came out, how we started, how we ended and it just unfortunate that we didn’t get the results in today’s game,” Mazza said.

The team played Georgia State on Sunday. ULM’s soccer team will enter the bulk of its Sun Belt schedule, travelling to South Alabama and Troy this week.

The Warhawks will return home to face Arkansas State and the University of Arkansas-Little Rock the following week. contact Meghan Dollar at dollarmel@warhawks.ulm.edu

Volleyball falls in conference

The ULM volleyball team took on Georgia Southern Friday night at the Fant-Ewing Coliseum. They played four exciting sets but ended up losing 3-1 (17-25, 25-16, 25-18, 25-21) in conference play.

ULM started out strong, winning the first set.

Hadley Swartz led the Warhawks with a double-digit kill performance, putting up 17 kills during the match.

Swartz also had 12 digs.

“We came out of the locker room with good energy. We came out with that intensity, it lasted throughout the match,” Swartz said.

The next two sets were close. In an exciting fourth set, the Warhawks mounted an attack to come back, but they lost their lead in the end.

“Set one we came out very high energy and we jumped on them early and we did the things that we had talked about all week, the things we knew we needed to do to beat this team,” Coach Patrick Hiltz said.

Junior Kimberlie Alvarado placed second on the team in offense with 11 kills. Senior Marcela Araya led the team on defense with 15 digs. contact Alex Robinson at robinsj4@warhawks.ulm.edu

Women’s golf wins at home

by Josh Dean

The ULM women’s golf team defended its home course for the second year in a row on Friday at the Fred Marx Invitational.

The Warhawks bested second place Sam Houston by four strokes after finishing in the top spot in all three rounds and posting a final score of 908.

Head coach Heather Holte said they maintained the same routine in the weeks leading up to the competition.

“We tried to keep the same routine nothing special. With our home course we tried to keep it old hat,” Holte said.

Three seniors Kathy Sterling, Emily Stratton and Ines Fendt played their last round of golf on their home turf on Monday and Tuesday.

Fendt put together her lowest 56hole score of her career. She boasted a final score of 221, or five over par, and led the team throughout the tournament.

“The tournament was really important for me as it was my last home tournament. I had a really good practice beforehand and the overall round was my best result. Everyone did a great job and with three seniors we all wanted to go out and do well at our last home tournament,” Fendt

said.

Two other Warhawks finished in the top 15 in the individual standings of the competition.

Lana Hodge and Angela No each shot an overall score of 231 with strong finishes in the last round.

Coach Holte seemed happy with the way her team played.

“I’m extremely proud and everyone put in a score that counted and it was a team win. Angela’s final round was awesome and Ines was steady the entire way scoring her best overall round,” Holte said.

The Warhawks travel to Portland next Saturday to compete in the Rose City Collegiate Tournament where they will play 36 rounds on Monday and 18 on Wednesday.

“Our win at the Marx Invitational will be a good confidence booster going into Portland State. The tournament is being held two hours from my childhood home and I’ve played a lot of rounds there and wanted to take them somewhere different,” Holte said.

This marked the first win for ULM during the Heather Holte era. contact Josh Dean at deanj@warhawks.ulm.edu

ULM’s defense held strong on Troy’s final drive. Troy’s drive started promising with the Trojans quickly approaching midfield. The Warhawk pass rush came up clutch, with defensive lineman Joey Gautney and linebacker Cody Robinson coming together for a sack. Troy gained five yards in to plays to bring the drive to a critical fourth and 11. The pressure once again rushed the Troy passing attack, with Ray Stovall delivering a huge hit to the quarterback to force an incompletion and to secure the win for the Warhawks.

ULM

Unsung hero

Justin Manton nailed three field goals in this game. None were more important than the 29-yarder with just over two minutes left in the first quarter. Manton also helped the Warhawks control the field position battle, nailing Troy inside the 20 three times. Two of those punts were downed inside the Troy two-yard line.

Play of the game

Pete Thomas connected on a 64-yard throw to Ajalen Holley with 5:54 left in the first quarter. Holley broke away from the coverage and got over the top of the defense when Thomas’ pass hit him in stride. Holley would outrun the pursuing secondary to score.

The Score

Ajalen Holley

Holley recorded another 100 yard receiving game. He also was the target on the 64-yard bomb that put the Warhawks up by 10 in the first quarter. Holley would also be on the receiving end of the 15-yard touchdown strike late in the third quarter. He provided a deep threat to Thomas all day, forcing the defense to adjust, freeing up the passing game underneath the coverage.

Pete Thomas

Thomas once again rose to the occasion with the game on the line. He has led the Warhawks on a game-winning drive in three of the four games he has played in a ULM uniform. He finished with 328 passing yards with a couple of touchdown passes. He took quite a few hits, but made key throws when it mattered. The senior has proven that he belongs at the helm of the offense.

Rashon Ceaser Ceaser proved to be the go-to target for quarterback Pete Thomas Saturday. The junior posted a career high of 12 receptions for 121 yards.

He did not have the explosiveness of Holley, but he was able to provide consistent hands for the Warhawks, which was crucial with the amount of pressure put on Thomas. Ceaser thrived after the defense shifted to defend the vertical passing attack.

The Warhawks now move to 3-1 overall, and 2-0 in the Sun Belt. This put ULM into a tie for first place with Georgia Southern in the conference.

Looking ahead

ULM will now travel to Jonesboro, Arkansas to face Arkansas State in a key Sun Belt game. The Red Wolves have not played a conference game yet and hold a 2-2 record on the year. Arkansas State was picked to finish second in the Sun Belt in the preseason conference poll.
