Time off trouble for election For the Ward 1 and Ward 8 elections, absentee ballots may provide the majority of the votes March 3.

Eugene Bergman, senior assistant to the Burlington city attorney, said that Town Meeting Day, or Burlington’s local election day, has been held on the 1800’s.

If a person is not in town on Town Meeting Day the only way to vote is to request an absentee ballot and get it to the town clerk by 5 p.m. the day before Town Meeting Day, according to the Election Law Handbook.

Last year, approximately 17.7 percent of the total votes cast were through absentee balment of votes for the 2014 election.

Overall, the number of absentee ballots requested were 1,541, but only 1,363 votes were cast through absentee ballots last year, according to the statement of votes.

Junior Khalil Lee, senator on a member of the Ward 8 Neighborhood Planning Assembly, believes most students know what an absentee ballot is.

Students actually participating in the election and using absentee ballots is an entirely different matter, he said.

“It just makes elections very small,” Lee said. “Historically these things don’t get more than a couple hundred people involved which is kind of a shame.”

In fact, only about 26 percent

of registered voters voted during the 2014 election, according to the statement of votes.

“It’s challenging to encourage the highest possible student participation if all of the students are gone on Election Day and their only option is absentee voting,” said senior Maggie Love, SGA senator and chair of the Committee on Legislative Action.

Lee believes that holding town meeting day during spring break has always been an issue.

“They know full well we’re not going to be there,” he said.

Spring break for UVM has Tuesday of March since 2010.

During the Oct. 12, 2009 Faculty Senate meeting, the 2011 spring recess was approved so their would not be an extra “Town Meeting Day Recess,” according to the meeting notes.

Lee said. “Historically, they’ve had [Town Meeting Day] during spring break as a way of keeping students uninvolved in the process.”

In 2013, the city wards of Burlington were re-districted so that there was an eighth ward that included students who live on campus.

In order to participate in Town Meeting Day, a person has to be registered to vote and present at one of the polling stations, according to the Election Law Handbook.

Chittenden spoke during the public forum at the Jan. 27 SGA meeting and presented his ideas for changing the calendar.

During the meeting, many senators brought up the fact that spring break occurs over Town Meeting Day and asked to move spring break to allow students to actually be in town to vote during the election, according to the meeting minutes.

Chittenden has now taken this into consideration and added it to his proposed calendar changes.

History professor and United Academics president Denise Youngblood sees two major reasons for, what she says is Dean Cepeda-Benito’s failure to be an “First, he never understood the culture in the college or in the University as a whole, nor learn,” Youngblood said.

“Dean Cepeda-Benito’s failures are not entirely his fault,” she said. “He was the wrong person for us.”

Jacob Holzman Enterprise Editor With election day fast approaching, candidates said they have been busy registering as many voters as possible.

For the Ward 8 seat, UVM alumnus Adam Roof is running against student Brock Gibian, from school. For the East District seat, Ward 1 City Council member Selene Colburn is running against UVM senior Carmen Scoles.

There has not been a clear candidates platforms yet, but that the upcoming Ward 8 and East District debate Feb 18 may solve this, said Joe Speidel, Director of Local Government and Community Relations for the University “I’m hoping that with the debates that will be a way for the candidates to clearly articulate what they stand for and have students identify with those issues and get motivated and register to vote,” Speidel said.

He is doing everything from knocking on doors, answering calls and listening to voicemails to stepping out from work at Renewable Energy Vermont to answer calls about his campaign, he said.

Renewable Energy Vermont is a “non-partisan trade association” according to their website, and Gibian is a registered lobbyist for the organization, according to the state’s lobbyist database.

“We are really at kind of a climax moment,” Gibian said.

Roof has been facing challenges as well to “control the chaos” of politics, but thinks it’s necessary not to lose track of running a “respectful” campaign, he said.

He wants to “run a campaign that focuses on real issues, because this is a serious business that deals with real people and their kids and their futures,” he said.

“I’m excited about the race.

Students have always been able to run for City Council; however, only now do students make up a majority of the population in a ward, said Gail Shampnois, director of Student and Community Relations for UVM. “If you look at the map of where UVM students live, I think students feel more like they’ll have a voice,” Shampnois said.

However for students, Speidel said, the important question in the election is “What do people care enough about?”

This question may have been the reason why students have not run for City Council elections in the past, he said.

“What can you talk about as a candidate that’s going to get your fellow students interested enough to register and to vote, whether they’re here on campus or doing it absentee?” he said.

UVM hosts senator for Town Hall Hannah Kearns News Editor One Vermont Senator returned to Burlington to talk about important issues for young people.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders came to UVM Feb.17 for a town hall meeting.

SGA President Aya AL-Namee worked with the Senator to organize the event.

She thinks it will be a good opportunity for students to engage with such an instrumental “There are a number of issues that are enormously important to young people and to the country as a whole,” Sanders said.

The senator discussed how the high cost of college education is an important issue to students.

When asked if he’s considering running in the 2016 presidential election, Sanders said, “That’s another issue. People can ask any questions that they want. But mostly I want to focus on issues of concern to young

people.”

Another important issue Sanders said he hopes to address are issues surrounding climate change.

Sanders also discussed pay equity for women workers.

“Women make about 78 cents to the dollar compared to working men, and that’s another issue we want to talk about,” he said.

He is also concerned about the status of the American middle class, he said.

The senator has held a town meeting at UVM before, many years ago when he was running for Congress.

“I look forward to doing it again,” he said.

Sanders is motivated to hold the meeting because in the last midterm election, 80 percent of young people did not participate, he said.

WALKER SULTZBACH The Vermont Cynic Sheraton Hotel patrons stand in the lobby Feb. 14. Due to limited on-campus housing caused by upcoming construction on central campus, UVM Reslife announced that the hotel is a housing option for upperclassmen.

Living in the Sheraton As the Housing Master Plan gets underway, Upperclassmen will face limited options for oncampus housing next fall.

“Due to limited space in the residence halls next fall, most students who are not required to be on campus will not have that option, but will have some exciting new ones instead,” according to a Feb. 12. ResLife email.

Students living in the Sheraton will be in double occupancy rooms furnished with residence hall furniture, according to the UVM Reslife website.

“I wouldn’t want to live there because to me it would not feel like I had a place that was my room,” junior Sonia Richmond said.

Students who are not required to live on campus have the option to request housing through ResLife, according to the email.

The only upperclassmen who are able to live on campus are students hired as RA’s, L/L or RLC program directors, transfer students who will not be 20 by Aug.28 and students in need of ACCESS housing accomodations, according to the email.

New options include Quarry Hill Apartments or the Sheraton Burlington Hotel, the email stated.

Twelve-month contracts for the Quarry Hill Apartments start in June, while 9-month contracts for the Sheraton begin in late August, according to the email.

“I wouldn’t feel settled in and it would be weird living somewhere that feels so temporary,” Richmond said.

“

I think it’d be a nice place to stay, better rooms than the dorms.

The rates for the Sheraton will be the same as a private double occupancy room, the website stated.

The rooms will have a priand cable, according to the website.

Students will receive 50 and beverages, according to the website. This excludes alcohol,

however students over 21 can drink alcohol in the Sheraton Hotel, despite UVM being a dry campus.

The Sheraton is on the CCTA bus route, and you can ride free with your UVM ID, the website stated.

“You’re farther from downtown and the nightlife,” Junior Kyle Elliott said. “You’re out of walking distance.”

The UVM shuttle will run every 30 minutes Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.

“I think it’d be a nice place to stay, better rooms than the dorms. But the distance from campus and downtown would probably make it like Trinity, where people feel sort of isolated from campus,” sophomore Jasmine Jiron said.

“But hotel rooms would be so much nicer than the shoeboxes,” she said.

Sophomore Taylor Bell sees some disadvantages to living in the Sheraton.

“I think the disadvantage said. “I would miss my friends.”

However, she thinks its nice that the Sheraton is furnished, and has cable and private bathrooms.

“I think the private bathroom would be huge,” Elliott said. “But the social life would be lacking.”

the suspected burglar, according to a press release.

Blatt, now held at Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility , will be arraigned in court Feb. 17. He faces burglary, possession of stolen property and false pretense charges, according to the release.

Blatt has multiple prior burglary convictions, according to an August 2013 WCAX article.

Blatt made purchases with a credit card stolen from one of the dorms, which became a key clue leading to his arrest, Magnant said.

Police were able to review closed circuit television footage from the store where the credit card had been used by through the footage, he said.

“Police also recovered a backpack and matched shoe prints with [Blatt’s] sneaker,” Magnant said, which connected Blatt to the burglaries in the other dorms.

First-year Joshua Gervais lives in the McAuley dorm that was broken into over winter break.

UVM has installed metal screens in burglarized rooms that connected to the roof to prevent future robberies, he said.

“Both of the kids next door moved out after being burglarized twice, they had two laptops taken, but now there are metal screens on all of the windows so we all stayed,” Gervais said. vid Urso, said he had his TV and Xbox stolen from the room. He has since been reimbursed by UVM. “UVM helped me get my sell, associate director of ResLife, took me to Best Buy and bought me a new TV and Xbox.”

COURTESY PHOTO First-year Matthew Werner said he is one of the residents of a neighboring McAuley dorm connected to the roof that was broken into last December.

He and another one of his roommate’s laptops were stolen, he said.

Unlike Urso, they did not receive any compensation from UVM. “We were all out of the room for a short time that evening, and when we returned, my roommate noticed the window front of our door,” Werner said.

“Initially, we thought our other roommate had gone onto the roof, but when I checked my desk to see if my belongings were still there, my laptop was gone. They also stole $25-30 from one of my roommates, and my other roommate’s laptop,” he said.

Since then, Werner and his roommate had to purchase new laptops, as there is no compensation through UVM, he said.

There’s about one burglary each day in Burlington, the majority occur where student populations are the most dense, Burlington Police Chief Michael Schiring said in an interview with the Cynic last October.

“If you like a piece of property, take a picture of the item and make sure to include the serial numbers,” Schirling said.

“It’s not uncommon to catch someone with a bunch of stolen property, but we can’t identify the owners,” he said.

VC: When did you know you wanted to be a social work professor?

CC: As a kid, I felt very drawn toward helping people, and in college I started becoming politically active in human rights and social justice work.

I learned about social work from a mentor in a battered women’s shelter that I worked in. She was so wise and feminist and ethical. I came here and loved UVM’s master’s program for its orientation to activism and social justice.

Pretty soon after I graduated, I was invited to start teaching the introductory class here. It’s the greatest blessing.

VC: What’s your favorite part of UVM? CC: The greenhouse. I’m all about the greenhouse during this time of year.

VC: What do you hope your students will get out of your classes?

CC: I would want them to gain a heightened awareness about the issues and problems going on in our community and more generally, a heightened awareness about people’s vast ability of resilience and strength.

A deepened compassion for people in those situa-

UVM community reflects on Dairy Bar Eileen Parks Only alumni may remember, but before the Davis Center, there was Carrigan Hall and the UVM Dairy Bar. The Dairy Bar operated from 1950 to 1995 and ice cream and other dairy products, according to the UVM Foundation website.

The Dairy Bar was in Carrigan Hall, which was demolished in 2006 so that the Davis Center could be built.

“I was a big fan of the Dairy Bar,” professor Elaine McCrate said.

be a replica of the old Dairy Bar. It includes seven counter stools from the original bar, according to the spring 2006 issue of Vermont Quarterly.

The Chikago Landing was funded by a group of alumni donors to “make sure that some key vestiges of their old hang-out were preserved for future generations of UVM students,” according to the UVM Foundation website.

The Dairy Bar was run by students until it was no longer sustainable due to budget cuts, according to the UVM Campus Treasure website.

“I loved it,” alumna Cata-

lina Vial, class of ‘88 said.

“Great homemade ice cream with fresh ingredients all from UVM farms.”

Carrigan Dairy Science Hall was also home to ofbottling plant, according to the UVM Campus Treasure website.

In an interview with the Cynic Jan. 21, English professor Sean Witters said he missed the UVM Dairy Bar. “We should bring the Dairy Bar back,” Witters said.

Sophomore Zoe Anszperger said she agrees.

“Anything that makes it easier to get ice cream is a positive,” she said.

Whether the Dairy Bar would be able to come back is a separate question.

“It would depend on costs, and whether somebody is learning something by running it,” McCrate said. “It would duplicate Ben & Jerry’s now.”

When the Dairy Bar closed, the ice cream making facilities at Carrigan Hall were used as a test kitchen

by Ben Cohen and Jerry Ben & Jerry’s, according to the UVM Campus Treasures website.

There is now a Ben & Jerry’s in the Davis Center, where Carrigan Hall and the Dairy Bar once stood.

There have been no initiatives to bring back the Dairy Bar as it once was.

Keeping break healthy Allison Carey Weekly Health Columnist Spring break is just around the corner, and we can’t wait to dive into water and spend time in the sand and sun.

Use these quick tips to stay safe and healthy in an unfamiliar place and really enjoy that vacation.

Walk everywhere.

Why pay for transportation when you can get a little extra exercise in by walking?

Not only will this keep you active, it will help you get familiar with your surroundings more quickly.

For even more exercise you can take the stairs instead of the elevator .

Pack a healthy snack.

Whether you’re going on a long day trip or lounging by the pool, you should pack yourself a snack.

Try to stick to whole

fruits, vegetables and nuts – they’ll be in abundance on that tropical island.

When your food doesn’t have to have a nutrition label, you know you’ve made a healthy pick.

Disconnect.

Facebook, Instagram and all those other social media sites can wait until you get home. Put phones and computers away to fully experience your surroundings.

By letting go of home and work, you are allowing yourself to truly relax and take advantage of that wellearned vacation time.

Stay together.

In an unfamiliar place, it can be easy to get lost.

Although it sounds a bit elementary, grab a buddy and stick together. This way you can stay safe and explore at the same time.

Cross-dressing for a cause Queens from around Vermont came together for an annual drag event, one of light-up wigs, nipple stickers and hours of live entertainment.

The 20th Drag Ball, organized by Bob Bolyard, or Amber LeMay as he is known in drag, was held at Higher Ground Feb. 14.

“The Drag Ball is a charity event that has consistently donated to the Vermont People with AIDS Coalition,” Bolyard said.

There was a donation table for the Coalition at the event, with free glow sticks, candy, condoms and stickers promoting safe sex.

“The decision to donate to the Vermont People with Aids Coalition started during the AIDS crisis and I feel a personal duty to continue it,” he said.

“I lost a lot of friends.

It’s one of the reasons I do what I do. They’re not here to have fun — I got to have fun for them I guess,” Bolyard said.

Bolyard said he developed an interest in drag “after watching Cherie Tartt [Steven West] and Rev. Yolanda [Roger Anthony Mapes] on a TV show.”

“[They] made people laugh and told us it was okay to be outrageous and make fun of ourselves,” Bolyard said.

Bolyard and friend Mike Hayes, known as Margaurite LeMay in drag, came together with Johnnie McLaughlin, known as Lucy Belle LeMay and formed the House of LeMay, the group that hosts the event.

Outside of drag, Bolyard said he is involved in the UVM community.

“

I lost a lot of friends. It’s one of the reasons I do what I do.

For one ticket, both the Ballroom and the Showcase Lounge provided six hours of entertainment, with many live performances including the Catamount Dance Crew. The crew has performed at the event in past years.

This year they danced to a Beyonce medley.

Drag queens performed covers of a wide range of songs, from modern music such as Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” to “Sweet Transvestite” from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

This is Bolyard’s 12th year organizing the Ball with his partners in the House of LeMay. They arrange acts, organize staging and see that the show goes on.

The Imitation Game rating:

Cracking the code of the war Colin Kamphuis Arts Columnist The year was 1939. Hitler and his war machine were steamrolling through Europe and the British secret service recruited a mathematical genius to help stop him.

The Nazis employed the use of the Enigma machine, one of the most complex devices ever used for communication.

Using the device, they publicly distributed messages that are almost impossible to decipher.

The chance of cracking this code is one in 159 quintillion.

Alan Turing (Bene-

dict Cumberbatch, voice of Smaug in “The Hobbit” Trilogy), the star and mathematical genius employed to defeat the code, is awkward and abrasive to his colleagues, similar to Sheldon Cooper from “The Big Bang Theory.”

However, with his close Clarke, played by Keira Knightley, he leads a team of cryptanalyst to decipher the machine.

Historians believe that his work shortened the war by two years and saved millions of lives.

Set in rural England, the from his schoolboy years to his middle-aged work as a professor and time as an analyst for MI6.

However, beneath the dominant plot of breaking the Nazi code exists another

uality in a time when it was illegal to be gay in Britain.

His relationship with Clarke is no more than an attempt to cover up his homosexuality, although they maintain a close friendship.

“The Imitation Game” was entertaining and thought-provoking.

For fans of espionage, drama, romance or war movies, it is a pleasant way to spend two hours.

It also pays homage to the long history of repression of the LGBTQIA+ community.

The movie serves as a reminder of the systematic persecution of homosexuals in the not-so-distant past.

Brilliant acting and directing make “The Imitation Game” a strong contender for eight Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Actor in a Leading Role and Best Director.

The Drag Ball was originally held at the Burlington Memorial Auditorium but is currently held at Higher Ground.

“Throughout these moves, our potential audience has increased from 500 to 1,000 people,” Bolyard said.

Concerning the LGBTQIA+ community, Bolyard said he is not politically involved.

“I don’t consider myself an advocate but I am an active participant and liaison to anyone interested in or curious about performing,” he said.

Bolyard said the House of LeMay has volunteered at many events around the state, including the Vermont Marathon, the Jazz Festival and the Mardi Gras Festival.

“If there’s a big party in town, we’re there. People love us and expect us to show up,” he said.

Being a drag queen in Vermont has not been a social struggle, Bolyard said.

“For someone that says something bad, there are 10 people telling them to shut up,” Bolyard said.

Better Call Saul rating:

It’s not about meth Raf Santos Arts Columnist

sweet new TV show to watch, “Better Call Saul” should be your choice.

Vince Gilligan, the creator of “Breaking Bad,” also directs the exciting new show’s most popular characters, Saul Goodman.

“Better Call Saul” airs 10 p.m. on Mondays on AMC with streaming available on their website as well. itself as its own show by including a little more dark humor into it.

Seven years before the events of “Breaking Bad,”

the show highlights how Saul Goodman, known as James McGill, becomes the lawyer we see in “Breaking Bad.” Immediately the show draws you in with an eerie black and white silent shot of Saul working in a Cinnabon bakery at a mall.

Anyone who’s seen “Breaking Bad” will know that this was Saul’s backup plan if things didn’t go according to plan.

Throughout the show there are appearances from other “Breaking Bad” characters.

That’s the beauty of the show, it’ll only draw us back in to watch more, especially for “Breaking Bad” fans.

Its predecessor was known for dark and gritty scenes, and the same is true in this show.

UVM band releases new EP Liam Hughes Cynic Correspondent

The concert is at Drom, a venue they’ve previously played at, which Schibli described as having “great vibes, like a bigger Signal Kitchen.”

A local electronic group is replacing the usual laptop with an authentic live band experience.

This act is argonaut&wasp and they’re “Future Protocol,” and performing Feb. 21 at Signal Kitchen Argonaut&wasp, the brainchild of former UVM student Trey Schibli and UVM senior Theo Klein, appears as just an electronic act at the surface, but their picture.

With a distinct studio sound that’s separate from their live sound, they’ve managed to create two identities.

Online they’re electronic, but live they’re electronic rock, they said.

Argonaut&wasp’s songs are born and developed in the studio but they make a point to play live as a band with living, breathing musicians, Schibli said.

For their performances, they play with a guitarist, bassist, and drummer on top of the miscellaneous instruments that Schibli and Klein play.

With a distinct studio sound that’s separate from their live sound, they’ve managed to create two musical identities.

A typical show starts with electronic music then slowly the full band takes over, replacing the electronic sounds, Schibli said.

They want fans who have only heard them online to come to their shows and ex-

“Future Protocol” is a coming of age story that, features a ton of collaborations, Schibli said.

“That’s the foundation of our project and the essence said.

Kendrick Lamar recently released an explosive and provocative track that caused a commotion in the hip-hop community.

The song “Blacker the Berry” bluntly dissects the volatile racial crisis confronting African-Americans today.

Lamar’s lyrics emphasize ethnic pride, which he expressed in his recent single feelings regarding white assault on African-Americans and the hate that exists within the black communities.

“You hate my people, your plan is to terminate my culture,” he said.

The black community has experienced terrorism from society, both physically and through media messages.

“I’m a proud monkey,” Lamar said.

The artist’s free nature and use of blunt vocabulary slaps his listeners with the raw reality of urban, neglected and abused cities around the nation.

Lamar, who called him-

self “the biggest hypocrite of 2015,” addressed his comment on the Ferguson case.

He said that in order to get respect, the black community He has faced harsh criticism by fellow rappers who found the comment to be ignorant.

“Blacker the Berry,” was an attack on his own feelings regarding the racial crisis; his confusion is evident.

Lamar feels that the messages and stereotypes forced overwhelming.

“You vandalized my perception,” he said, referring to the police department and media.

It is this intrusion that has caused the artist to misinterpret his thoughts about the racial situation.

“When gang banging make me kill a nigga blacker than me?” Lamar said.

The artist compares the magnitude of the decay of the black community to civil war between the Zulu and Xhosa ethnic groups of Africa, highlighting his desperation.

Lamar called the crisis a result of “institutionalized manipulation and lies.”

The previous night, embassy officials burned tens of thousands of documents and destroyed weapons that were inside the Sana’a embassy’s storage warehouses, Yemeni employees of the embassy said.

11, spurring American officials and security forces to evacuate our embassy in Sana’a and leave behind several security vehicles.

The seizure of Yemen’s capital came amid a wave of attacks by Shiite militants against anti-rebel demonstrators, during which Houthi militants chanted “Death to America, death to Israel,” which, according to USA Today, is part of their slogan. This is strange, because I didn’t really know that terrorist groups had slogans.

There’s no doubt, that had the president or vice president on this very short time frame gone to participate in this event that took place outdoors with more than a million people in attendance, that it would have significantly impacted the ability of those who attended the march to participate in the way that they did yesterday.

-White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest

Okay, so it wasn’t this week, or anywhere close to it, but as I said, I’m getting lazy, and this event is especially interesting.

After the Charlie Hebdo attacks, which claimed the lives of 11 people, President Barack Obama was criticized for not having gone to the Paris demonstrations to march for solidarity, or freedom of speech or whatever.

It’s not quite clear what marching does to stop extremism — if anything it’s easier to gun down people in huge crowds marching aimlessly for some flimsy, nice-sounding cause — but I suppose it’s easier than actually doing something. Or going to your job. I’ll have to take the president’s side on this one.

As we saw with the overwhelming presence at the funeral of these young Americans, we are all one American family.

this year, and I have a list of matches on Tinder — I’m bragging — so the concept isn’t too foreign.

In any case, I thought it’d be nice to make a list of some important world events that have happened this past week, or the week before that, and perhaps even the week before that — you know, if I have trouble coming up with enough events, and you don’t mind that I’m being lazy.

Well, here goes. My favorite four stories of these past few weeks:

These kids think they’re going to get killed anyway because all their friends are getting killed. They just don’t have any long-term focus or anything. It’s a joke to have a gun.

It’s a joke to pull a trigger.

-Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg

Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg reportedly argued Feb. 6 that guns should be kept out of the hands of minorities in order to keep them alive, in video footage that he has now requested not be shown to the public.

If you think about it — but not too hard — this sort of ideologically aligns him with the robe-sporting white supremacists of old.

Finally, I’ll address the UNC Chapel Hill killings, which took the lives of three people, who, incidentally, were Muslim. Almost immediately, most people in the West, including officials at our very own University — you got that email, didn’t you? — took to navel gazing by condemning violence against Muslims.

Granted, there isn’t much evidence that this crime was motivated by the alleged religious bigotry of the killer, save only for the fact that the victims were Muslim. There’s actually more evidence to support the idea that the killer was a nut who had parking disputes with his neighbors. But I guess facts got in the way of a cooler narrative.

STAFF EDITORIAL The College of Arts and Sciences is perhaps the University of Vermont’s most important academic division.

Nearly half of all undergraduates are enrolled in the College. It oversees courses that underpin the vast majority of our degree programs.

And after only three years it’ll be needing a new dean.

When Antonio CepedaBenito was up for review in the middle of the fall semester, he sent a 16-page letter to the entirety of the College outlining accomplishments he’s made.

It’s important that the accomplishments of a good leader be apparent. But we cannot confidently say an adequate amount of accomplishment has come out of the leadership of the College of Arts and Sciences.

It’s possible the administration reached the same con-

The College must also be

issue.

Forget cancer – the people living with it are the ones that matter. What about those not as fortunate to undergo a successful treatment?

The concept of “losing a battle” brings an unwarranted element of choice into it. Living with cancer is just that: Living – with cancer.

Choice is nonexistent in the matter.

Cancer isn’t conscious. It doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t target. It just is.

Those who pass away because of it have not lost, suc-

you to do?

Perhaps make the most of your time, raise money for a cause to which you may lack a genuine connection or not take good health for granted?

It’s unintentional but it’s degrading nonetheless. Inadvertently you have demeaned someone’s life based on an uncontrollable circumstance.

No one chooses their sickness, nor do they elect to represent all those with that ailment.

These people are not living for you or me.

In fact, they are probably not living for anyone but themselves

The prospective dean must be able to champion the role of the liberal arts in civil society.

It’s essential that the new dean focus education within the College with keen consideration of the world students will enter in to — a world full of scientists.

clusion.

Where should we go now?

The College of Arts and Sciences is the breadbasket of the University in many ways.

What are you living for?

It’s a moving question that could lead to various answers.

Some would say a loved one while others would mention their goals of improving the world.

More often than not, the answer would be absent or entail some overwhelmed rendition of “I don’t know.” It’s not a question one is asked regularly, and it may never have an answer.

Cancer: It is the uncontrolled growth of malignant cells in the body.

It impacts the lives of millions every day. Its elimination has also become a cause that people have rallied around.

Dance marathons, hair drives and yogurt lids — a charity-based partnership between Susan G. Komen and Yoplait — serve as research funding, morale boosters and ways to raise awareness.

In trying to cure cancer there seems to be a disconnect between those actually dealing with its malignancy and the thing itself.

Rhetoric on the topic of cancer is laden war analogies, which gives an incorrect sense of simplicity to a very complex

Cancer isn’t conscious. It doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t target. It just is. cumbed or fallen. They did what everyone must do: live, and nothing else.

Cancer patients and others with diagnoses are not inspirations.

It is patronizing, belittling and insensitive to treat them and those most impacted around them as such.

It puts emphasis on haphazard happenings rather than the actual people and their achievements.

It is important to understand where that sentiment comes from.

What does a person who is fighting for their lives inspire

and that’s valid.

Linking your life to something or someone you don’t have control over seems fleeting. Your will to live comes from within.

Of course the will to live is encouraged by the love others demonstrate toward you, and what you feel for them in return, but that drive to press on has to be inherent.

Someone with a disease, disorder or condition is doing what they must to survive, thrive and live.

For them, their malady may be a real issue of life or death.

Their existence isn’t for any-

one’s benefit.

Would you ever ask someone with an illness what they are living for?

Not only would that question be wildly insensitive and wholly inappropriate, but it’s a rhetorical question. There’s no choice involved.

They live, just like anyone else, because there is no other option. They simply must.

That’s their normal.

Learn from their amazing values and characteristics that supplement their journey through hardship, but disassociate from the narrative that turns people into publicity stunts.

These people are courageous, fierce and tough. That’s true – but they have to be.

They don’t have a choice in making it through the grueling experiences of working toward recovery. It is the reality of their actuality.

Someone who inspires you does so because they have chosen to aspire to something.

Choice is absolutely critical.

Their significance lies in their choices not their existence or bodies or illnesses.

I’ll ask again. What are you living for?

In the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t really matter.
