P.R.I.D.E Alliance grows concerned over a right to privacy in CLCE workspace
By Matthew Cutillo S T A F F
W R I T E R
The P.R.I.D.E Alliance, a student organization that utilizes the Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement’s (CLCE) shared workspace, has expressed concerns about the decision to move forward in redesigning club workspaces. Last May, the CLCE conducted a student survey to better take into account the needs of organization members moving forward. Mike Severy, the director of the CLCE, was the head of this operation. “I was charged with conducting a survey to get feedback Mike Severy said that student organizations may be using the space as more of a storage center than an from students and student office.

that provides a private place for students to approach us if they need resources or simply someone to talk to,” McClure said. “If that space is taken away, we have no space for our members to approach us at their convenience. The CLCE office space becoming an open space takes that away.” New renovations to the area would cause a push for student organizations to be placed closer together. “The way the space is designed is so student organizations have to collaborate with one another,” Severy said. “That space is designed for student organizations, not study spaces. It’s being used alternatively.” McClure said she expressed concern over the validity of the survey given out to student organizations. She said it

SG revamps Bulls Country, expands student discounts at local businesses By Alyssa Stewart S T A F F
W R I T E R
With the relaunch of Bull’s Country, there will be 26 restaurants that will grant USF students discounts on food items. Student Government (SG) reinvented Bull’s Country, a program in which local businesses offer USF students discounts. The relaunch is aimed at people who are searching for healthy options, looking for a meal to bring one close to home or trying to subside a craving. During the first week of May, a banner in the Marshall Student Center (MSC) will announce
the full list of restaurants who will be a part of Bulls Country. Depending on the partnered restaurant, discounts will be 10 or 15 percent off specific days of the week. Between the fluctuation of previous administrations, Bull’s Country was not a high priority. This year, student body president and vice president, Moneer Kheireddine and Shaquille Kent, and director of partnerships, Sierra Francis, decided it was an appropriate initiative to take on to redesign a broader approach by implementing healthier options and restaurants with nutritional value since previous
options that provided discounts were mostly pizza and fast food joints. Some of the franchise partnerships are Jason’s Deli, Jimmy John’s, Perkins and Which Wich, but most of the restaurants consist of local businesses and culture-based cuisines because it was an important component in the relaunch of Bull’s Country according to Francis. “We have a huge international population here and I am a big person on food so for me if I could have something that is similar to back home, that would help me feel more assimilated and comfortable
with the culture shock,” Francis said. The culture inclusive restaurants that were certain for approval were Chewy Boba, Dunn’s River Island, Gyro Zone, Ichiban, Kalesia, Kung Fu Tea, Sake House, Salem’s Gyros, Pita Pit and Tijuana Flats. Jewel Hector, a first-year student majoring in advertising, is an international student from the British Virgin Islands. Hector has similar ideals with this initiative to include a diversity in food options. “Restaurants that serve more international foods should definitely offer USF student discounts because USF is a
really diverse campus and all of us want to eat our favorite foods,” Hector said. “I know that if my favorite restaurants that serve island cuisine would offer USF discounts, I’d probably eat there far more often.” Hector is not familiar with the majority of the Bull’s Country restaurants, but she is open to trying them since discounts will be provided. Hector often eats at Publix so she said she hopes that a discount will be integrated when the on-campus Publix to built. When picking the businesses, it came down to five main objectives: distance, culture,

cuisine, nutritional value and provided discounts. Francis said her team seeks for healthier options, inclusive dietary needs for people who are gluten free, vegetarian, allergies or other food restrictions and if the restaurants are local to USF. Libby Shalev-Szlaifera, a first-year student majoring in public relations, is vegan and lives on campus, but chooses to eat at Tijuana Flats or Chipotle when she eats off campus. “Most of the restaurants (from Bull’s Country) provide me with vegan options that suit my diet and are good,” ShalevSzlaifera said. Shalev-Szlaifera has a meal plan so she eats at Champion’s Choice to find easy food options for her diet, but she would like to eat different meals that will still save her money. “I believe that implementing healthy options will improve — the way I eat since I’ll be more inclined to go there,” Shalev-
Szlaifera said. “More than often, the healthy options always include vegetarian and vegan options which is beneficial to me.” In the future, a competitive aspect will be implemented through layers of promotional items that USF will offer to the restaurants. Depending on the percent discount the restaurant is willing to provide, they can receive social media shoutouts, posters or commercials. The system will function on tiered levels so the more discounts a restaurant contributes equates to how large of a promotional item they will receive. Francis said that eventually key tags will be distributed to students that they can show these businesses to get the discounts they offer. One of the referendums listed for the SG election this year was deciding what kind of food to provide on campus. There is a survey that may be released next year to expand the options. “We have a lot of surveys
about on-campus foods and we’re trying to reflect that with a more immediate solution by having discounts off campus,” Francis said. Brandon Miller, a graduate student majoring in jazz studies, commutes from Orlando to USF and occasionally stops by World of Beer or an Irish pub that he enjoys for the karaoke. “Since I am a little bit older and going back to school now, most of the places I go to involve alcohol so it would be great to get a discount on non-alcoholic items like on the food items,” Miller said. The goal for Francis is to have over 30 restaurants and to expand goods and services. There are discounts with MIT Computers and Prestige Car Wash and Lube as well as Disney and Busch Gardens, but they are not the focal point of the relaunch. “The best way into someone’s heart is their stomach so we wanted to start with the food first and expand from there,” Francis said.
was inaccurate regarding the community as a whole and concerns arose among herself and others. “As a longstanding org that was founded in 1974 and has used the office space for many years, we were not informed of this survey and were not asked to participate,” McClure said. “Furthermore, the sample size of students who took this survey was very few and could not possibly represent the majority of all of the organizations’ and students’ views.” After being denied initial funding for the remodel, the issue had been delayed until this year. The remodeling that’s being proposed again would make an effort to reduce privacy between student spaces and create a more open area. Severy said he worries that student organizations may be misusing the space, which has been a deciding factor in the decision to push the remodel forward. “My personal opinion is there are too many student organizations on the third floor who are using it primarily for storage,” Severy said. “That was the feedback we got across the board.” In May when the issue was first introduced, online polls were conducted to gauge student opinions. However, the results did not sway in favor of the renovation. “A staggering majority of these students did not want or approve of this change,” McClure said. “Student Government did not view these polls as valid evidence of the students’ views due to the fact that these polls were posted
3 on social media.” In an attempt to help regain more credibility, a physical survey was created. Nevertheless, this seemed disingenuous to organization leaders as well. “This survey was shown to the Student Government as a simple word document rather than an officially printed and approved survey,” McClure said. “Myself and other people suggested that Student Government send out an official survey to all student orgs, but this was not approved.” McClure said she feels as though little to no progress has been made since the initial proposal close to a year ago. “All of this being said, there has not been actual progress on the matter,” McClure said. “Instead, it has simply been postponed due to its controversies but the fact that there is controversy at all shows evidence that it is not a necessary or wanted change.” The last decision regarding the renovations will be made within the next few weeks as the fiscal year comes to a close. As the final funding decision becomes closer and closer, McClure hopes the disconnect between students and faculty can be rectified. “What I would like the CLCE to understand about the situation is that they believe they are helping students,” McClure said. “But, in actuality, they are taking away a space in which we do our work as orgs and also use as a private space for our club members. This renovation is unwanted by students/orgs, is expensive and completely unnecessary. I speak for many USF students and orgs in that such funds could be utilized for things we actually want and need.”

him, he and my dad had the same sense of humor. So it was like I was talking to my dad. It was really nice to have that sense of familiarity while I’m here.” Corrick is unique because she played for Great Britain’s Women’s National Team in 2017. She went toe-to-toe with some of Europe’s top pitchers and helped the team earn a berth in 2018’s World Baseball Softball Confederation Women’s World Championship. “I had absolutely no idea he was the Women’s National Team coach,” Corrick said. “As soon as I committed, people started telling me and I thought that was crazy to think that I can play against him and his team, but I’m also on his team right now.” Corrick described Eriksen as “a bit more intense” than her Great Britain coaches. Despite his intensity, he maintains a fairly laid-back attitude most of the time. “He has a really good balance between fun and work,” Corrick said. “You can come out here and he’ll be joking five minutes before the game, and he’s moving around and playing around with everyone, but as soon as it’s game time, he’s ready to go.” Redshirt Junior Mia Fung shares a similar view of Eriksen, saying that he is easy to talk to and relatable. His ability to balance work and play is
T H U R S DAY, A P R I L 1 2 , 2 0 1 8
evident by his win count — Eriksen reached 900 career wins this season. “You can joke around with him,” Fung said. “He’s not some mean coach who will never crack a smile. He’s always either laughing at our jokes or he’s the one telling us the jokes and I really like that about him.” More than an on-the-field jokester, Eriksen’s coaching reaches further than softball. “He teaches us on and off the field how to be a good person,” Fung said. “One of the main things that he has preached to us, since I was a freshman at least, was that he wants us to be successful and a good person on and off the field.” The main difference between the two teams he coaches is age, but there are other aspects that weigh on each cohort. Students often worry about school, but professionals worry about keeping their job. “You do more player personal development with a collegiate program,” Eriksen said. “You’re 18 to 22 years old. It’s the minor leagues so you’re bringing young people up from high school and watching them grow-up and mature and really come into their own self-identity at that time. “Coaching the women with the national team, you’re coaching professional people that don’t have a lot of major ups and downs. They’re very steady. To them, it’s more about the game, it’s more about training to beat somebody, not worry

about school, relationships, coaches, being away from mom and dad for the first time. These are women that you’re coaching so it’s like coaching in major league baseball.” Despite some glaring difference, Eriksen said there is a common factor connecting the two teams. “The similarities are they’re people and people are always going to have trust,” Eriksen said. “When they feel they have trust, it’s easier to work with people.” Though Eriksen has proven himself as a coach both at the collegiate and international stages, his coaching job for Team USA is anything but guaranteed. The National Team was not able to say whether or not Eriksen would be the coach
of Team USA for the Olympics in 2020. “These are year-to-year assignments,” Sebren said. “Ken is positioning himself appropriately with USA Softball in the future. Our goal is to be in the Olympics in 2020 and we’re going to have that opportunity this summer to qualify at the world championships and Ken is leading us in those goals.” With a coaching career that can be compared to burning a candle at both ends, Eriksen has been a staple for both USF and Team USA throughout. “These things are overlapping constantly,” Eriksen said. “It’s overbearing at times, but thank goodness you have great family. And thank goodness you’ve got the support staff here at USF that has made it easier for me
by telling me, ‘Hey, take some time off when you need it.’ So I have that time off between Dec. 24 and Dec. 26 I take advantage of every year.” In a way, Eriksen has grown with USF since he played as a Bull in 1979. “From the advent of even thinking about starting a football program to having teams get to the NCAA tournament in basketball and soccer,” Eriksen said. “To how many All-Americans we’ve had in track and field, tennis and golf and all those things that have gone on. The buildings, all the brick and mortar of this place has been incredible.”

Editorial: A&S budget fails to represent current students’ best interest The annual budget bill proposed by the Activity and Service Recommendation Committee (ASRC) of Senate, which includes significant cuts to Activity and Service (A&S) fee funded departments, was passed Tuesday evening in a 25-8 vote, despite discrepancies in the information presented. The bill will affect USF departments including but not limited to the Marshall Student Center, Campus Recreation, and the Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement. Wi t h mismatched information, a lack of effective communication with the student body and the questioned legality of the endowment, which would mean investing student dollars in an off-campus financial institution, many are left with more questions than answers. However, the time for questions has passed and many answers have yet to be provided. The major discrepancy has to do with the financial state of unallocated cash accounts. ASRC Chair, Sen. Aladdin Hiba calculated that this account would be approximately negative $1.3 million if his committee’s proposed endowment was not to be added. However, Student Business Services performed calculations with the same
numbers as Hiba and found that the account would be greater than $540,000 in the positive. Another major difference in the information presented lies within how much each of the A&S funded departments are being cut. While some, including USF administration, claim the overall cut to programming of these departments equate to 15 percent, certain senators, including the endowment ad hoc committee chair Yousef Afifi, point to the overall cuts totalling just 3.56 percent. While there may be a difference in overall department cuts and cuts to programming within those departments, which truly impacts students the most? The programs of these departments that are at risk of being cut or altered include, but are not limited to Bull Market, USF Week, the University Lecture Series, Bulls Nite Out and TEDxUSF. A major issue with the presentation of this bill was the decision not to implement a student survey on the matters before introducing the piece of legislation. “We are a student government and we’ve all been elected by students and we’re representatives of the students,
and by being elected, we make decisions on behalf of students,” Hiba said. The proposed endowment includes funds totalling $1.375 million of semesterly A&S fees paid by students. These very students deserve to have a prominent voice in the allocations of these funds. According to Dean of Students Danielle McDonald, the proposed endowment in the budget bill breaks USF statute USF6.028, which includes that “All Activity and Service Fees shall be maintained in university accounts.” However, certain members of Senate point to this statute as hypocritical and inaccurate, because the university has offcampus endowment accounts of their own. Nonetheless, the fact remains this budget bill is highly controversial, appears rushed due to conflicting information, lacks student voices and sits far too close to the border of what is and is not legal. In the future, members of Student Government should better consider their constituents before making decisions that could drastically change the student experience at USF.

Deferment letters: a major inconvenience for prospective students By Paige Wisniewski S T A F F
W R I T E R
Springtime, for many prospective college students, means anxiously awaiting for their college acceptance letters. However, sometimes these letters do not definitively disclose either an acceptance or a denial. Colleges can opt to select certain applicants for deferment. In other words, these applicants have been waitlisted. This decision of deferment could lead to wasting students’ time and reducing their options. According to college admissions specialist for the Baldwin School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Sara Harberson, schools can use waitlists as a back-up plan to meet enrollment targets or control how much financial aid is given because space may simply be unavailable. These are sensible enough reasons to utilize a waitlist. But while colleges use them to protect their own interests, the deferred applicants end up shorted on their time and their hope. Waiting for a college offer that may never come is unsustainable when aid-dependent students are forced to wait on a decision that could affect the amount of tuition assistance they receive. Colleges may have little financial aid left to offer by the time they decide to admit a student on a waitlist. If and when an applicant is denied entrance, they could be left with limited alternatives. Schools should not string along deferred
students only to cut the line after a student has spent time and energy holding out for a potential offer. Colleges either need to be more selective when deferring students or make definitive decisions for their pool of applicants. USF does not currently utilize a waitlist for admissions. According to the USF Info Center, out of the 29,132 first-time students who applied in the 2017-2018 school year, 11,190 were admitted and 3,063 enrolled. While USF appears more selective in its admission rates, the admitted students were afforded the opportunity to be selective in their enrollment. Had students been waitlisted, they would be limited in their chance to make their own choices or move on accordingly if they were eventually denied. When a college defers their decision to admit, students are made to delay their own decisions on which college to enroll. Consequently, this may delay or hinder other factors important in college acceptance, such as financial aid or student housing. Students should have the opportunity to explore other options with reduced stress and without wasting time.

Softball
Veteran coach leads both college and country teams
By Sam Newlon A S S T .

E D I T O R
Ken Eriksen is in his 22nd year as head coach of USF Softball, but his roots with the Bulls run deeper — all the way to 1979. Back then, he was just a freshman on USF’s baseball team. This summer, the USF product enters his eighth season as coach of the U.S. Softball Women’s National Team. Eriksen will have the opportunity to qualify Team USA for the 2020 Olympics, the first time since 2008 the sport will be included in the international event. Before he was a renowned coach, however, Eriksen was playing minor-league baseball, living on $400 a month and a meal plan consisting of waxpaper bag sandwiches when he was faced with an ultimatum from his future wife: get married or continue his minor-league career the rest of his life. “It wasn’t a hard decision,” Eriksen said. What was an equally easy decision for Eriksen was accepting the head coaching
Ken Eriksen is the second head softball coach in USF history and will coach Team USA for the eighth season this summer. SPECIAL TO THE ORACLE/JOHN KERSTEN position of Team USA. “This goes back to 2011 when we made a coaching change,” Chris Sebren, director of National Teams for Team USA, said. “Ken had been involved with the program way back when and his experience has afforded him that opportunity to be selected.” Team USA offered Eriksen the head coaching position in
2011. He was a top candidate due to his experience as a player and assistant coach within the organization. He was an assistant when the U.S. won its Olympic Gold Medal in 2004. “His understanding of the international program, his experience as an assistant coach back then, his experience as a player in the men’s game at that point probably set him apart,”
Sebren said. “I’m in committee meetings now. Those are things we look for and we talk about in our coaches.” Eriksen said being asked to coach Team USA was never a big deal to him. “It wasn’t like you got handed keys to a new car,” he said. “It was more like, ‘Here’s a task, let’s see how we can elevate the task, make it better and leave it
in good shape.’” Eriksen’s spot on the National Team overlaps with his responsibilities for USF. While coaching the Bulls, he has to schedule summer events and coordinate programming for Team USA. “It’s very difficult, I’m not going to lie to you,” Eriksen said of coaching both teams. “It’s time consuming. You have sleep deprivation because even during the season at USF, you’re trying to keep up with what’s going on with your players that are maybe still in college, of players that are still out there training.” Despite having split responsibilities, Eriksen gives his players at USF enough time and attention. Players described his abilities as taking a tightly knit team and advancing them as quickly as possible. “He has kind of an intensity that made me think he was really going to challenge me,” freshman pitcher Georgina Corrick said. “When I first got into his office and was talking to

Saturday’s Spring Game first chance to see 2018 Bulls, free to public By Josh Fiallo S P O R T S
E D I T O R
USF fans can get a glance at USF’s 2018 football team for the first time Saturday at its Spring Game. Kickoff for the game will be 2 p.m. at Corbett Stadium. Admission to the game is free and there will be a pre-
game street festival starting at noon, which will feature live music, food trucks and family entertainment. Seating will be available in the stands and on the grass hills surrounding the field. USF has reached capacity for its past three spring games. Fans who are unable to attend
the game can still stream it on The Identity Tampa Bay — a full-service digital network that will provide a live stream starting with a pregame show at 1:40 p.m. The rosters of each the Green and White teams haven’t been announced as of Wednesday, but it’s nearly certain that
quarterbacks Brett Kean and Chris Oladokun will be on opposite teams. The two have been in a quarterback battle since Spring Camp commenced, with, according to coach Charlie Strong, neither holding an advantage at the starting job over the other. “There are a lot of new faces
at a lot of new positions and it’s exciting,” Kean said Tuesday. “The fans on Saturday are going to be able to see basically an almost entire new feel for a team. You’re going to see the same system; we’re in year two, but you’re seeing a lot of new faces.”
