Failure Lab: change the talk on failure

Alayna Parsons-Valles Campus Editor

It is way past graduation day, and the initialjoy ofleaving high school has turned into a mixture of excitement and fear.

For the incoming freshman, some of you already know what you want to do with your future and others have no idea at all.

For upperclassmen, almost all of you have chosen majors you want to pursue as well as internships you want to zone in on. But each journey and the decisions itcomes with can lead to success or failure. Success is great; it’s a time for celebration.

But what about when you fail?

This Thursday, in the Park Theatre from 7 - 9 p.m., Failure Lab will showcase the raw, untold stories of failure behind six local leaders. These leaders include Luciano Hernandez, Jennifer Owens, David Tebo, Pastor Willie Watt, Mirka Wilderer and Austin AsamoTutu.

Failure Lab was founded in 2012 by a group of professionals in West Michigan to eliminate

THEIR STORIES ARE TOLD — Failure Lab will be c o m i n g to H o p e College to open a discus­ sion around the stigma of failure through experiences a n d entertainment. the fear of failure and encourage intelligent risk taking. The goal is to share personal stories of failure, publish crowdsourced lessons and instigate discussion.

This is an important opportunity for those interested in entrepreneurship, as well as anyone interested in learning from the personal and thought-

provoking lessons ofothers lives.

The evening will also feature live entertainment - including some musicians from Hope College.

Students interested in attending can purchase tickets for $10 at http://failure-lab.com/events/ lakeshore-advantage/.

Failure Lab provides a chance to come together with

other students and members of Hope and address and crush the stigma of failure. Failure Lab integrates an evening of storytellers and entertainers.

Storytellers share their personal failures and intimate stories of what went wrong in their lives.

These aren’t meant to be a great lesson learned or talk of who

to blame, but different ways of overcoming different situations.

Entertainers recount their most memorable brushes with failure. Then performances follow the stories shared to clear the air and allow students time to recharge.

The audiences job isto reflect on what the story means and is encouraged to share any thoughts on Twitter using the hashtag #failurelab during the performance between stories.

Failure Lab uses a different curriculum designed to change the conversation about failure.

The Laboratory experience helps organizations and students replace fear and resistance with excitement and learning. When most events and seminars focus on success, the focus doesn’t communicate the tough breakthrough and lessons learned. The labs have shown to be cathartic, inspiring and thought provoking.

This event is beneficial to all and students are encouraged to attend and experience what Failure Lab has to offer.

Science reveals h u m a n - p i g e m b r y o s Sarah Mozdren W orld Co-Editor

For decades, scientists have implemented controversial medical research, raising ques­ tions on whether they stretch their limits too far. Researchers argue whether they lean toward innovative medical progress or ethical laws. With a high de­ mand for organs, the United Network for Organ Sharing re­ vealed that 118,744 people are on the waiting list for an organ transplant. The issue continues to rise as the law claims unethi­ cal treatment for putting a price tag on organs in the market. In addition, because only a limited number of candidates are regis­ tered organ donors, presumed consent raises ethical concerns as it allows individuals to lose ownership of their bodies.

However, the “chimera,” which is commonly known as a mythical creature of a hybrid lion, snake and goat, was a pro­ cedure that scientists discov­ ered. This experiment revealed that scientists could combine tissue from humans and ani­ mals, resulting in a human-pig embryo to grow. This experi­ ment involved human stem cells, that are indeterminate, be­ ing injected into a pig embryo.

This embryo of human and pig cells was then implanted into

W H Y SWINES?

Pigs are Ideal for chimera research because their organs are relatively similar sizes as hu m a n s , despite the distant genetic similarities a n d that their organs g r o w at quicker rates. This i m a g e s h o w s h u m a n s t e m cells Injected Into a pig embryo.

the uterus of a sow, where it grew up to four weeks.

After a month, the stem cells in the embryo had developed into precursors of vital organs such as the heart, liver, kidneys and neurons.

The researchers cautioned thatthisexperiment was not effi­ cient and could not develop into a live piglet that may be useful for immediate care. However, it was a stepping stone toward or­ gan developmental research that could grow functioning human

organs. “W e were just trying to answer the yes or no question of,can human cellscontribute at all,” said Juan Carlos Izpisua Bel­ monte, a developmental biolo­ gist at Salk Institutewho was the senior author of the human-pig chimera study. “And the answer to that question isyes.”

Previous experiments were conducted in the past, involv­ ing a similar approach of chi­ mera where researchers cre­ ated embryos that were part-rat, part-mouse by growing a mouse

pancreas inside a rat. The in­ sulin-secreting tissue from the mouse pancreas was injected into diabetic mice to test if its' function was successful with­ out a rejection of the immune response. This experiment re­ vealed that interspecies organ transplant is possible. If func­ tional organs of one species can be grown into another, then would this supply a successful resource to the demand of organ transplants?

The National Institutes of

Health had a suspension on funding for research on humananimal chimera, which was the reason why the researcherswere only able to grow the embryo for up to one month. Several can argue that chimera crosses the ethical line of taking advan­ tage of human and animal DNA, modifying them to the point of no distinction or animals repro­ ducing human D N A to their off­ spring. Others claim that stem cells raise uncertainty to an organisms identity by human­ izing animals, especially with the threats that an animal may contain a human brain. Would this approach allow animals to human rights?

However, by avoiding certain paths with this research, chime­ ra may allow for further research on human disease, drug testing and embryo development re­ search. Organ development for transplants still raises the ques­ tions of uncertainty. Producing organs in a body ismore benefi­ cial than growing in a petri dish since itreplicates as naturally as possible. “What ifwe let nature do the work for us? What ifwe just put human cells inside the embryo and the embryo knows what to do?” said Izpisua Bel­ monte. But will this allow for a future market of organs to be fought over, or can this save the lives of thousands?

It’s a recipe for disaster...or good?

Neil Gorsuch: S u p r e m e Court J u d g e ?

Andrew Dunn G uest W riter

It has been nearly a year since the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

In that time, we have witnessed a revolt by Senate Republicans over Obamas nominee Merrick Garland, a presidential election in which Republican’s promised a nominee to succeed Scalia, and now, the nomination of Neil Gorsuch. But who exactly is President Trump’s nominee?

Neil Gorsuch, age 49, if confirmed, would become the youngest sitting Supreme Court Justice since Clarence Thomas was confirmed as an Associate Justice in 1981 under George H.W. Bush’s administration.

Like both Thomas and Scalia, Gorsuch isconsidered an ardent originalist, adhering to a strict and textual interpretation to the Constitution. Those who have read his opinions seem to attribute him with a quality not typical of judicial proof: he’s funny. Perhaps it is only fitting he serve as the replacement to a justice who routinely used imaginative phrases such as “argle-bargle,” “blah, blah, blah garbage” and “interpretive jiggery-pokery”.

In terms of education and judicial experience, Gorsuch is extremely well qualified. He

Additionally, he has a Doctorate in Legal Philosophy from the University of Oxford, which he recieved in 2004.

Although his academic record is stellar, his actual legal experience may be considered even more impressive. Following his tenure at Harvard Law, Gorsuch served as a clerk for Judge David Sentelle of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District

of Columbia Circuit. He also served as a clerk for Supreme Court Justices Byron White and Anthony Kennedy. Between 1995 and 2006 he worked as a partner for the reputable Kellog Huber, Hanson, Todd, Evans and Figel, in addition to briefly serving as a deputy associate attorney general. From 2006 onward, he has served as a Judge for the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals.

For his 2006 seat on the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, Gorsuch was also subjected to the nomination process. During

this time, itshould be noted that he received high praise from members ofboth parties. In fact, during his senator confirmation, no senator objected to the “intelligent, thoughtful and appreciative nominee.” Ken Salazar (D-Col) would also praise Gorsuch as having “impressive credentials.”

Although it is clear that he is highly qualified in terms of education and experience, the real test of confirmation will, unfortunately, be far more political. Gorsuch’s stances on many of the most divisive issues facing the United States are practically as unclear as the vocabularyofhispredecessor.O n immigration, he has offered no definitive ruling. However, being an ardent Constitutionalist, he has stated “A government of diffused powers, [omit] is a government less capable of invading the liberties of the people.” This seems to signal trouble for a President who has issued executive orders at an unprecedented rate and of remarkable scope. On abortion, Gorsuch has never given an opinion, but has been known to err on the side of religious freedom. What many liberals may find appealing is the fact that Gorsuch is a conservationist. During his tenure as a Judge for the Tenth

Circuit Court of Appeals, he sided with renewable energy in upholding the environmental regulations placed upon the coal industry. His stances on other issues such as gun rights, recreational marijuana and other hot button topics remain shrouded in mystery.

Conclusively, it seems as though Neil Gorsuch will be an incredibly difficult nominee for Democrats to oppose.

Despite the fractured nature of our federal government’s legislative branch, rejecting such a well qualified jurist would be almost impossible for congressional Democrats to justify. Throughout his career he has been well liked by colleagues on both sides of the aisle, and despite having some possibly extreme right wing views, he is generally viewed as having a “humble, articulate demeanor."

During the election, President Trump consistently promised a heir to the late Antonin Scalia, a man who stood as a pillar of originalism for 30 years. In Gorsuch, it appears President Trump has fulfilledthatpromise.

All that remains to be seen is whether or not congressional Democrats can justifycontesting a seemingly impeccable nominee. Hopefully Gorsuch will be confirmed before April, say G O P lawmakers.

Immigration ban halted, future uncertain lack Wolff G uest W riter

President Trump, on Friday, Jan. 27, signed an executive article banning travelers from seven middle eastern countries.

Odds are, you’ve heard ofthis by now, possibly invery spectacular fashion, as protests rage across America in response to this executive order.

Ifyou don’tknow much about the ban, here’s a quick recap: O n Jan. 27 Trump signed an executive order banning certain people from entering the U.S. These countries are Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Yemen and Somalia. This executive order was to last 90 days in order for Trump to institute a “vetting process" to ensure “those coming into America love and support it.” He cites 9/11 and other terrorist activities as a driving factor in these decisions and claims that this ban is only to protect America from “bad people.”

Regardless of itsintentions or efficiency, the ban has become a center piece for controversy in the U.S., sparking praise and protest alike. It has been awhile since America has reacted so strongly to an executive order, and the reaction has been strong indeed. Take for example a protest in West Palm Beach Florida, which, according to CBS, drew more than 3000

people. Here protestors spent hours protesting Trump’s decisions, shouting anti-Trump slogans and even going so far as to decorate a coffin for “democracy” (as though it had died) and parade it around.

While the coffin may have been fairly heavy handed, these protestors in West Palm Beach are not alone in the country, as protests have raged from sea to shining sea since the announcement.

While the order was only in effect for a few days, stories of stranded travelers, loved ones F o rb es unable to return home and UNHAPPY PRESIDENT — President T r u m p has m a d e his Americans feeling betrayed disdain of the courts ruling against his ban heard loud and by the country they moved to clear on Twitter a n d the media. poured into media and onto social media alike.

longer enter the U.S. Trump certainly seems to have set the pace for his presidency. Trump, however, isnot the firstpresident to make healthy use of executive power, even if we are not to look at presidents like FDR who issued thousands. President Obama, for example, pushed the envelope with executive orders, in many instances even sparking dissent against what many felt took presidential power too far, as with his own immigration executive order in 2014. Yet, it certainly could be argued that where Obama took an inch, Trump intends to take a mile, and how far he intends to go, and how far the other branches of government intend to let him go, remains to be seen.

Yet, regardless of how you feel about Trump’s executive orders, especially his travel ban, what they have revealed is a very important fact about our constitutional system: it is still alive and well, and there are still checks and balances, even ifthey feel a little weaker in the face of a president so unafraid to wield his power. Indeed, no matter what happens, Trump is not our emperor, he is our president. As our president, he is still beholden, and always will be beholden (barring something radical), to all the same laws and regulations as every other American, and president, in our Stotted' history.'.. . 1 •’v

Thursday Organ Concert: Tony and Rhonda Go to Church Organists Tony M a n a c o a n d R h o n d a

H o w often are women heard openly talking to an audience about their vaginas? That is probably not the firsttopic pur­ sued at the dinner table; howev­ er women are clearly eager and interested to broach the topic, as was exemplified during a student-run production of ‘The Vagina Monologues."

This event took place at 7 p.m. Thursday - Saturday in the Fried-Hemenway auditorium.

29 students and two directors helped bring these monologues to life. Some were purely hu­ morous, while others covered heavy topics like rape, the struggles of transgender w o m ­ en and genital mutilation. “'The Vagina Monologues' were written in 1996 and came to Hope College in the mid2000s," Alissa Heynen (T8) said. It was not until last year, though, that they were able to move onto campus.

Initially, the show started out with an analysis of the word itself and how most people are not comfortable saying the word Vagina.’ The show was broken up into sections, by topics and statistics relating to the harsh realities and dangers women face around the world regarding sexual violence.

One impactful highlight was a monologue about rape and the mistreatment of Afri-

This production was brought to life by a vast number of peo­ ple, students and staff alike.

“Many hours went to emailing the cast, reaching out to panel­ ists, answering questions from members of administration, planning auditions and rehears­ als, and working to make sure all the loose ends got tied up before opening night!” Heynen said.

At a fairlyhomogenous place like Hope, having conversations that may be out of some peo­ ples’ comfort zones is crucial.

Hundreds of people attended “The Vagina Monologues” to hear and support these voices.

So how can students pro­ vide support to women and the various minority voices they encompass? “Ask questions, be curious, and be aware,” Heynen said. “Be open to new ideas and know that sometimes you have to put yourself in an uncom­ fortable position to learn.”

One thing was clear through­ out the event: everyone in at­ tendance was locked on to the

monologues being presented.

There was appropriate silence, laughter and clapping for the entire hour and a half. After­ ward there was a questionand-answer to initiate more dialogue between the cast and audience members.

All of the proceeds were donated to C W I T (Center for W o m e n in Transition). C W I T is a West Michigan organiza­ tion that attempts to end do­ mestic and sexual violence. This year, according to Heynen, over $1400 was raised to support these women in need. “The Va­ gina Monologues” are set to re­ turn next year.

M y friends are weird, but Ilove them and this means we have weird conversations. One topic that arose was the choice that ifyou could startyour own busi­ ness, what would itbe? Iwas put on the spot and I arguably chose the most ridiculous business to run. As an Economics major, I look back and laugh at my choice, thinking Icould do better.

M y friends had pretty great ideas and while they were common, they were also unique. Three of m y friends would decide to run a house-flipping business together, with one being the designer, the other being in charge ofdemolition, and the third being in charge offinances. Of course, they admitted that H G T V was their go-to on slow evenings, which made us alllaugh. Apparently from rumors, the equity ends up being quite generous even though it’s a large risk and time investment.

However, ifyou work hard, create and plan accordingly, you could go big with this.

M y roommate got into this conversation, and knowing how crafty she tends to be, she explained that she would start a party planning business. All of us agreed as she’s known to decorate our dorm room with glitter and pom-poms. H o w fun would that be, to decorate events for a living? I’d honestly pay someone for my future parties that I'llhave to host, since I don’tcarry an artistic bone in my body.

M y other friend, who’s a year older than the rest ofus, quite possibly described heaven in itsfinest form. He said he’d run a doggie-daycare business. Without the thought ofhow unsanitary and loud thisjob would be, shots of dopamine would fillyour mind daily, because who wouldn’twant to play with puppies and get paid for it.Everyday would be different because the puppies would want to play with everything they saw. However, this definitely isn’t for everyone since several people lean more toward cats and the problem with allergies might scare them away.

Another ingenious business that would be delicious would be a grilled cheese restaurant. M y friend who tends to be overconfident at times, explained every detail ranging from the fact that he'd want to locate itsomewhere in the UP on a lake, with no franchise, and every type of bread, cheese, toppings and spreads. He’d make the sandwiches to help allergies, such as with gluten-free bread, low fat and all organic. W e all felt a littlewarm-hearted when he told us he’d name each sand­ wich after us all,making each sandwich to describe our personality.

And finally,what did I choose? I don't know what crossed my mind, but I thought itwas a good idea to make a car renovating business where I could buy and sell used car parts. I don’t even have an interest in cars, nor do I know anything about the mechanics. I guess itjust popped in m y mind that I tend to focus on the weaker pieces of lifeand transform itinto a silver lining. Iwant to fix things and restore them to their finest to make the world a brighter place.

Tips for the broke a n d the hungry

Voices Editor College certainly has its upsides; I think that’s something we can all agree on. For example, living with friends and taking naps during the middle ofthe day are some­ thingthathigh school never included. Still,with great fun comes great expense. With a whopping $32,490 tuition, how does one survive?

1. Get a job

5. Find friends w h o understand your limitations I can’t give you an exact number, but the amount of times I’ve been with a friend and said yes to something that my bank account begged me to say no to isquite high.

When my best friend is intown, we are tempted to go allout and immediately regret itthe following week when bills are due. But friends don’t let other friends not pay theirbillsso scrounge the cabinet for something to snack on. Splitgas fora tripto the beach. Steal the Netflix password thatyour brother hides at home and throw a movie night. Make friendship affordable.

Unless you’ve been fed with silver spoons and fallasleep counting the digits ofyour trust fund, itshould go without saying that your parents should not be handling all ofyour financial responsibility. You’re an adult. This isthe real world. Get with it.If .1 ■ your parents can help you out, then by all means consider yourselfblessed and take 6. Boxed food goes a long way them up on their offer. Just don’t take advantage. Phelps is hiring. The Anchor is Don’tbe fooled by the boxes oframen sittingon the shelves that seem liketoo much hiring. Opportunities are honestly endless within the range ofHope College. Show a for one person. You can do it. Every once and a while when you forget to defrost little initiative and itmay even help you with applications one day. your food (again) and your project took too long to work on, a Ramen noodle can save a life. Macaroni and cheese is equally as useful. Spice itup with some broccoli 2. W o r k the system or kale. The point is, hunger is random and cruel at some points. Have no guilt in Are you struggling to pay foryour meal plan? Luckily, ifyou work atoh, say, Phelps, indulging in some snacks every once and a while. you are fed every time you work. Want to work four or five days a week? Sweet, so now you can change your meal plan to the next one down. Not only are you making 7. W h e n in doubt, visit home money while you work, but you’re eating a free meal so thatyou don’thave to spend I live in Holland, so Ihave the advantage ofa fatherwho sends me cookout leftovers the money paying the college. It’s an easy fix. I’ve done it3/3 years and running and as often as possible and a mother who will take me on random errands and feed me. ithelps so much.

For those who can make it home more often— do it. You should be visiting your family often anyways, so why not do so and consider home cooking over pizza one 3. Spend wisely night? You won’tregret it.Promise.

N o w that you know what itfeels like to earn money and to pay for something on a monthly basis, you should know thatmoney isn’tearned easily. Money isa precious 8. Food with friends is fun commodity. So, that daily cup atLemonJello’s? Tone itdown to once a week. Coffee Food isalways betterwhen shared, right? In an effortto save money (and potentially made at home is by no means better than a sip of an Invincible latte, but it sure is impress friends/significant others too) get together and make some things. I know cheaper. Don’tworry, itcan be coaxed down one’s throat with extra creamer. Iknow that it’s easiest for my boyfriend and I shop for food together and split not only the it’s hard, but you can buy almost a whole bag of coffee for five dollars. Put that into cost, but the cooking and cleaning as well in order to best use our time and money. perspective.

Making some soup or spaggetti with friends isrelatively cheap and even more fun as you quiz one another for your testtomorrow.

4. Less is more

Food. Yes. I know. I love ittoo. But I’m going to help you make some good choices, okay? Food can be either your best friend or your worst enemy in college. Fatty, greasy, sticky and sweet food— watch how itsneaks onto your plate as you contem­ plate whether fries count as a vegetable serving because they are made of potatoes or not. Your salad isn’t doing itsjob ifyou can’t see itbeneath the bacon and ranch.

Honestly, just grab a sandwich at the City Delicatessen instead of ordering a pizza.

M Say yes to the donut run but say no to the nightly ice cream at Phelps. You’llsave j I more mo thanjustyour budget.

9. W o r k when you can (and sometimes when you shouldn’t) It’s never fun to cancel plans on account of the fact that you have to work. It also isn’tfun to cancel massive study plans on account of the fact that you have to work.

Well, not allof college can be fun, right?You won’tregretthe feeling ofhaving more than zeroes inyour bank account when you take Winter Break and acquire over forty hours in a week. Trust me, some days itwill feel betterto know that after a long day of work, at least you earned the bed you sleep in, right? Make a stand to be a smart broke college student. You won’tregret it.

Ever marvel at a week’s is­ sue of The Anchor and think to yourself, “Wow, I wish I could be a part of this staff of amaz­ ing people. I sure wish I could experience the glorious life of a newspaper staff...” Well, wish no longer, as we have one more edi­ tor position open! Our sole re­ maining Campus Editor Alayna would love to have another stu­ dent join her in captaining the Campus section.

Campus editors are in charge of brainstorming article ideas about events or issues related

to Hope’s campus, writing those articles (or finding other stu­ dents interested in writing for The Anchor) and designing the layout for the two Campus pag­ es on Monday nights. The staff meets on Sunday nights for a brainstorming meeting and on Monday nights for production nights, when the newspaper ac­ tuallygets created.

Sunday meetings are fairly short, ranging from 30 minutes to an hour at the most. At these meetings, we go through the previous issue and discuss any mistakes found or praise any innovative design that worked well for a certain section. W e then discuss the issue that will be worked on the next day, going through each section to confirm the articles for each page and if any more articles are needed.

Finally, we brainstorm for the next issue so that sections can get a head start on writing ar­ ticles or finding guest writers to report on an upcoming event.

These meetings provide experi­ ence in improving editing skills and working in a team, which looks great on resumes and are beneficial skills to have in future careers.

Angry A d a m : The curse of the C a m p u s

A d a m Nottoli Co-Editofhn-Chief @ adamN ottoli

This evening, I rolled out of work at Phelps and into The An­ chor office a little earlier than I was used to getting out, so I real­ ly got to see a lot of the members of my staff in action. Because a few of our Copy Editors weren’t able to make itdue to Rush or Go events (I’m not even sure what the difference between the two is), I found myself taking a look atmany ofthe articlesway earlier than I normally did. Our Campus editor, Alayna, slid one of her pages to me and as I started to look through it,a thought dawned on me: Alayna is the only Cam­ pus editor.

This might not seem that crazy to many of the people who are reading this, but ifyou’re some­ one who’s at all familiar with The Anchor, then you’llknow that we usually have two editors per sec­ tion of the paper, with the excep­ tion of Voices and Features, and I’m not really sure why those are only one person jobs. But the fact that Alayna is still the only edi­ tor in the Campus section is ac­ tually cause for a lot of concern for us here at The Anchor, and

it made me think back to when I had joined The Anchor, and what I realized might be a trend that we were just noticing for the first time.

Here’s the story.

I first joined The Anchor the beginning of my Junior year and itwas awesome. I rolled into the office a week earlier than most students arrived on campus and sat down next to a swimmer that looked like a grungier version of Liam Hemsworth. In front of me was a random girl from my Cre­ ative Writing class that had sent me an invite to join this group, a girl who was also in charge, but was inAfrica for the summer so I never met her, a few other people hand-selected from that writing class and a bunch of people I’d never met. Little did I know that in a few short weeks these peo­ ple would be some of the closest friends I had on campus and we’d be doing everything from starring in a documentary to throwing markers across the room and lay­ ing on the floor in a fort built out of old newspaper stacks.

One of the main proponents of this ridiculous behavior was Alek, a senior who had a weird friend connection with my co­ editor and was in charge of the Campus section alongside one of the many members of staffnamed Alex. After a semester, one of our World editors, Idil, left to go to Washington D.C., and after a bit of time Alex transitioned over to Worlds to form the Alex super­ duo. But this leftAlek as the sole leader of Campus.

We worked to put someone in that new position that opened up working with Alek,-but itwas

only filled once, and only for a short time. The new member quit not long after and Alek remained the sole Campus editor for the rest of the semester. Video evi­ dence ofthis can be found on The Anchor’s documentary on You­ Tube. At the end of the year, Alek graduated from Hope College, saying that The Anchor would never have another employee like him, but apparently he actually meant the opposite and jinxed us via bad juju.

When Amber and Ibecame the Co-Editors-in-Chief, we immedi­ ately set out to filling our many sections, selecting two good can­ didates to fill the Campus section of the newspaper. Within a very short period of time, meaning only the first production night, one of our editors decided to leave The Anchor, as itdidn’t re­ ally fit in with her schedule. This left us with only one Campus editor, Sarah, and a search to fill the position yet again. This might seem pretty parallel to Alek’s sit­ uation, but don’t worry the curse gets deeper.

After a few weeks had gone by, we finally hired another Cam­ pus editor to fill the position of our lost comrade, and Sarah’s workload was lessened, as Alay­ na arrived to save the day. Our necks were saved for an entire semester before we found out that Sarah would be leaving The An­ chor and Holland for the spring as she departed for France. Again our Campus editor position was opened, and again we began the search to find a new candidate.

Alayna was left alone on the Campus front for the first couple ofweeks ofthe-semester,-butthen,-

light broke through and we found a new person to fill the existing Campus editor position. We hired her, she came to our first meeting on that Sunday. And by the end of the day, she turned in her resigna­ tion and cleared out. Our latest at­ tempt at finding a Campus editor lasted literally one day.

This has led to what Amber and I have started, literally just started at like 11 p.m. the night we were working on putting this newspaper together, calling The Campus Curse. It seems as though whenever someone wants to start working at The Anchor, specifically in the Campus seciton, there isa sort ofphenomenon that causes them to suddenly get caught up in so much extra work that it is literally impossible for them to spare even a couple of hours on their Monday nights.

Having people leave, even be­ fore graduation is nothing new to The Anchor. M y firstyear on staff, we had the aforementioned World editor leave, the aforementioned Campus editor leave as well as having a copy editor leave be­ cause of student teaching. Then, coming into this new school year, another member of staff left as she was doing a semester abroad in England, although she has re­ turned for this semester, and a Copy editor left as she was go­ ing to be too busy on her Monday nights. Then, during this semes­ ter, we had another Copy editor leave because ofstudent teaching, apparently teachers make the best grammar editors, another Copy editor leave because of the time commitment, a Worlds editor step down, and we’ve lost three Ca m ­ pus editors nowi But if you look

at the list. Campus is far and be­ yond the section that ishaving the most people leaving.

Now, Alayna is still the sole Campus editor on the staff,but we are stillactively looking forsome­ one to help her out on a weekly basis. If you’re reading this and you’ve written something before, then you speak English and you know how to write, meaning you meet both major criteria for being on staff. If you think you might have some time on Monday eve­ nings or know someone who does and want to have some good times with some good people, then consider having yourself or your hypothetical friend apply to The Anchor as soon as possible.

The Campus Curse isn’t actually real, even though it really seems like it might be. Nothing too ter­ rible will happen to you ifyou’re on staff; we’re all pretty decent people. Consider it.

Don’tget me wrong, I enjoyed working with all of the people who left The Anchor. I still talk to a lot of them when I see them around campus, and it’s great to have gotten to meet them for as long as they were on staff. Ho w ­ ever, I also have realized that without a lot of the people leav­ ing that have, I wouldn’t have gotten to know some of our most interesting newest members, like Copy editor Anna, Worlds edi­ tor Colin, or Sports editor Isabel: people who’ve alljoined to fill in positions of people who’ve left.

Even Alayna wouldn’t be on staff if someone hadn’t left immedi­ ately.

Maybe the curse is real, but maybe you’ll be the one to break itand join The Anchor family.

The Falcons and Patriots faced-off Sunday for the NFL game of the year. Going into the game, the Patriots were the favorite pick. Four ofthe five Fox commentators had the Patriots as the likely victor. However, SB Nation was more split with only four of their nine going for the Patriots. Looking into the game, the Falcons were a strong team.

Leading the offensive charge was Matt Ryan (QB) who managed to have a great season leading up to the Super Bowl, and Julio Jones (WR) has been on the other end of countless passes.

The Falcons managed to score the most points in the regular season giving them a tough offensive line to stop. However, the Patriots had the No.l scoring defensive line, which made the game appear to be an even split match-up. Not to mention, Brady was fighting for his fifth Super Bowl title. Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw both also held four titles, but Brady of the Patriots was ready to make himself the most decorated in NFL history, and that is just what he did this past Sunday night.

The game started with backand-forth possessions between the teams. Trey Flowers had a sack on Matt Ryan in the second possession of the game, which forced the Falcons to punt after the play. O n the next possession, Courtney Upshaw and Grady Jarrett both had sacks on Tom Brady. Neither of the teams were able to convert in the first quarter.

A fumble early on in the second was recovered by the Falcons. They were then able to score the first touchdown of the game off of a run by a five-yard run by Devonta Freeman up the middle. The kick was good by Matt Bryant to put the Falcons up 7-0 over the Patriots at the 12:20 mark in the second. The Patriots were unable to make any dent on the next play and the ball was quickly turnedover to the Falcons. The Falcons capitalized once again when Austin Hooper reeled in a catch from M. Ryan. The kick was good and the Falcons continued to lead 14-0. Robert Alford gets a big interception off of a throw

by Brady intended for Danny Amendola. Alford runs it in for an 82-yard touchdown. Brady had a good throw to James White who had a solid run to get the Patriots nearer to scoring position. White continued to have solid runs, but the Patriots were unable to capitalize, forcing kicker, Stephen Gostkowski, to put in a 38-yard field goal. The Falcons led 21-3 at the half.

A few minutes into the third, Taylor Gabriel made a huge catch from Ryan. Gabriel shook his defender to make a 38-yard

The Falcons were able to convert during the drive. Tevon Coleman makes a six-yard catch and Bryant scores the extra point. The Falcons then led 283. On the Patriots possession, Brady makes a 15-yard run to gain first-down. The Patriots were finally able to score late in the third off of a short pass

by Brady and five-yard run by White. However, Gostkowski was unable to complete the extra point so the score moved to 28-9. ip Moving into the fourth, Brady makes a 25-yard throw to Martellus Bennett but then gets sacked on the next play. He gets sacked again in the same drive which brought the Patriots to 4th and 33. Gostkowski isable to capitalizefora fieldgoal bringing the score to 28-12 with 9:48 left in the game. A big fumble by the Falcons at 8:31 gave the Patriots hope late in the game. Defensive line, Alan Branch, was able to recover the ball for the Patriots. A throw from Brady to Malcolm Mitchell for 12-yards brought the Patriots into scoring position. A short pass to Amendola gave them eight more yards and then they converted on the next play on another short six-yard pass to Amendola. The Patriots went for the two-point conversion and, off of a sneaky play of a direct snap, White rushes down the middle to bring the score to 28-20 to give the Patriots hope late in the fourth.

On the next Falcon possession, Ryan makes a 27-yard throw to Julio Jones, who makes a beautiful catch and just barely manages to get both feet down inbounds.

Jesus saves Manchester City’s title hopes N e w Cityzen won d er kid shines on debut, to give the Etihad stadium a reason to cheer Fononyamba Nunghe Sports Co-Editor @ tgodaze

Pep. Guardiola’s Manchester City side encountered turbulent waters a few games back in the season, due to some tough losses which they encountered in their quest for Premier league glory.

With a world class roster, coupled with arguably the best manager in the world of competitive soccer, city fans had high hopes coming into the season.

Regardless of recent form, the Etihad stadium in the past few days have had reasons to celebrate, primarily because of the arrival of Gabriel Fernando de Jesus.

Jesus arrived from Palmeiras F.C. at the end of the January transfer window. He was acquired from the Portuguese club, where he tallied 47 appearances in all competitions, scoring 16 goals.

The 19 year old was acquired for a sum of around € 32 million.

He was regarded as one of the top prospects, soon to make a major move either to the premier league, Bundesliga or even to the La liga side.

Wearing the number 33 on

was voted to be the man of the match— quite the dream debut.

In the second game, Manchester City went up against a very physical Swansea team. In this game, Jesus earned his second consecutive start, in as many games. Showing that he is already well adjusted to the physicality of the Premier league, he played a major part in the team's 2-1 victory over Swansea, being that he scored both goals in the win. In this fixture, he was also voted to be the man of the match.

Pep had some great things to say about his new signing.

“Some guys need a lot of time to settle in, to know the league, the teammates, and others settle immediately,” Guardiola said.

He went on, “N o w we have to protect him, but everybody is a W ikimedia bit surprised by his level.”
