S
tonewall Center, the resource center at Western for the lesbians, gays, bisexuals, trans*, queer (LGBTQ) community, hosted an event titled “National Coming Out Day,” in which students could safely share their personal stories regarding sexuality and gender. Using a door to represent individuals who have “come out of the closet,” students had the opportu-
nity from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. to write on that door – which was placed in the center of Stonewell’s room – their personal coming out stories or messages to support their peers. It was an event celebrating not only Coming Out Day, but also the “rite of passage” for students of the LGBTQ community who want their voice heard, said Stonewall’s program coordinator, Gabrielle Boyle. “So many people questioning
their identity don’t have a place they can go,” Boyle said. “Some don’t even know one person that they feel safe coming to. Having a physical space on campus and someone, like me, that people know they can always talk to is vital to keeping people from failing classes, dropping out and just their over-all well-being,” Boyle said.

Students seeking a financial boost now have the opportunity to win $5,000 through the annual Maurice Prize project. The competition is designed to challenge students to exercise creativity and innovation through solving a problem of importance to them. “It’s a challenge,” said Alfred Maurice, project creator and retired University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) professor. “It’s a challenge to find out what you can get done if you really put your mind to it.” After dedicating his estate to undergraduate education enrichment, Maurice created the prize at UIC after being bothered by the lack of attention given to undergraduate learning. Since moving to Monmouth in 2010, he worked with Western and its foundation to create an endowment for establishing the Maurice Prize at Western. “My goal was a simple one,” he said in a phone interview Thursday. “We don’t challenge students
enough. We keep feeding them information but we never find out what they’re doing with it.” Project instructions include identifying a problem that matters to you, approach the problem in an innovative and creative way, and tell what you learned about yourself and the project. However, the problem does not need to be solved. “It’s a chance to test yourself,” Maurice said. “It can be anything you want. It’s just a solution to a problem that’s important to you.” Past project examples ranged from increasing LGBTQ support on campus, the creation of a short film festival and a trip to Mexico to impact local families. Maria Vargas and Sylvia Garcia, winners of last year’s Maurice prize, created a network they called “Learning, Engaging, Achieving, Diversifying,” (L.E.A.D.) to support and encourage women leadership on campus and in the community.

Statewide student voter registration record broken BY LAURA KNUDSON EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Voter guides are available for students in the ASWOU office, located on the bottom floor of the Werner University Center. PHOTO BY SHANNEN BROUNER
Western aided in a record-breaking nonpartisan voter drive through the Oregon Student Association (OSA), which registered 55,000 students statewide for the 2014 midterm election. This is a significant increase from the 34,000 students registered statewide in 2010. Students from more than 21 college campuses have been working with OSA, a state coalition of student governments dedicated to the representation, service and protection of
colleges. Through voting education and training from OSA, the Associated Students of Western Oregon University (ASWOU), along with other volunteers registered roughly 1,480 students last spring term and this year, Garner said. “It was the largest voter registration drive the school has ever seen,” Corbin Garner, ASWOU president said at a Faculty Senate meeting, Tuesday.

COLUMN
To post everything or to not post everything? The daily strife of a Millennial BY HAUNANI TOMAS MANAGING EDITOR Have you ever thought that some information is best kept offline? Probably not. We live in a world where not checking Instagram for more than two hours is an almost tweet-worthy accomplishment. When we’re not group texting friends and relying on emojis as a sole mean of communication, we’re snapchatting them. And yes, even during class. When we’re not doubletapping every other post in our instafeed, we’re struggling to condense our thoughts into 140 characters or less. And, if we aren’t doing any of the above, we’re probably bored out of our minds on Facebook, pondering the function of the Poke feature and why people even use it. Basically we’re doing anything to avoid actually doing homework; even skimming Yik Yak, shaking our heads at the unsavory freshman posts that prove our generation is just as hopeless as we’re made out to be. We are clichés of the Millennial stereotypes. Generation Y is obsessed with this sense of being “connected” to the world via our
phones and the Internet, mostly because we have never lived in a world without this level of access and connectivity. While social media is great at keeping people connected, it leaves very little room for sentiment. We live in an information age where we willingly give up certain privacy rights. Sharing our lives online is a habit; a Millennial mannerism. While that has its advantages and disadvantages, we’re missing the bigger picture: do we have to share everything with everyone at every second of the day? “Do I really need to post a picture (with an obnoxiously long caption that no one will read) to tell everyone I miss my boyfriend? Or should I just call him and let him know?” These are the strenuous choices a Millennial experiences on a daily basis. In the Forbes Magazine article “Sneakernomics: Marketing With Millennials” Matt Powell discusses the key findings from the Goldman Sachs report, “Millenials Coming of Age in Retail,” a few of which included a “love [for] social media” and a “willing[ness] to share opinions and experiences via social media.”
ANNOUNCEMENT: WOLF RIDE GOING TO SALEM Wolf Ride, a free shuttle service for Western students, will take the first 10 sign ups to Lancaster Mall in Salem at 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25. Attendees will have time to check out restaurants, stores and the movie theatre near the Center Street/Lancaster Drive area. Dropoff and pick-up will be at Lancaster Mall. Wolf Ride is free and signups begin 10 a.m. Monday, October 20 in the Student Affairs office
THE JOURNAL | FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2014
located in room 203 in the Werner University Center across from the bookstore. Regular service for Wolf Ride will be interrupted Saturday, Oct. 25 during the times the van is going to and from Salem. Another Salem trip is being planned for Nov. 22. Signups will be announced. For more information visit wou. edu/student/wolfride, call 503838-8221 or email studentaffairs@ wou.edu.
“Sneakernomics” goes on to explain that we share “everything” online. Guilty. We bask in allowing people to know who we’re with, what we’re doing, where we’re eating and play-by-plays of our pregame before the football game. We want everyone and their mother to know who our “Man Crush Monday” or “Woman Crush Wednesday” is. We glorify our dining out and address when we’re in “sweatpants, hair tied, chillin’ with no make up on” because we want to justify that “we woke up like this.” (And, if you didn’t get those references, you’re obviously not a Millennial.) Is there anything we can just keep to ourselves? It’s gotten to the point where we are so focused on being connected 24/7. The Elite Daily’s article “How Social Media Is Ruining the Authenticity of Generation Y” by Angel Key points out that, “as a generation born into an age of digital progression, many of us lose track of really enjoying life and instead, select moments to frame.” The article challenges its readers to go a day without
their smartphones. “But, if that happens, who will know if I went to the gym? Or ate lunch with my mom?” Key poses the question: “Are we really communicating?” According to Webster’s dictionary, social media is defined as “forms of electronic communication through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages and content.” So, are we really using social media for its intended purpose? Are we sharing all aspects of our lives for the sake of communication? No. There’s no logic or reasoning behind posting a picture of your California sushi roll other than the fact you thought it was artsy and because you just felt like it (unless you’re doing some public relations work, but we won’t get into that). The point here is that not everything needs to be posted or shared on the Internet. We’re just doing it just to do it and because we can. So, have you ever thought that some information is best kept offline? Bet you do now.

>> VOTING:
Milestone achievement for student voting “This milestone is so important,” said Alyssa Chiampi, ASWOU Director of State and Federal Affairs. “Voter registration numbers like that make it so our statewide legislature cannot say no to us.” When asked why the voter drive was so successful, Garner said, “We do have one of the strongest student associations in the country which contributes to why the whole state got behind it.” Garner also said more people are willing to vote during significant elections. There was a push from OSA and to bring attention to voting because, “the student populous has largely been seen as an unvoting populous,” Garner said. “With that, there are many student and higher education related
issues that cannot be resolved without voting.” Chiampi agreed saying it is not only important to register but to turn out to vote because, “we can utilize the momentum we build to win concrete victories.” In the weeks to come, ASWOU will move into phase two of their threepart campaign, educating students about ballot issues before ensuring they will vote this November. “Registering them is one small portion of it,” said Garner. “We feel that it is our obligation as advocates for students’ rights to encourage all students to register to vote, be educated on what they are voting for, and ultimately submit their ballots to let the student voice be heard.”
A change to the academic course catalog was approved at Tuesday’s Faculty Senate meeting concerning the Writing 135 course. Dr. Carol Harding, English professor, spoke at the meeting stating the course requires a minimum C- grade to meet the LACC language requirement. Yet during the 2013-2014 year, it was discovered that students were able to enroll in courses that listed WR135 as a prerequisite even though they received D-, D or D+ grades. Ultimately, students who received less than a C- would not receive LACC credit but were able to enroll in higher-level classes even though they should not have been able to. On page 33 of the catalog states that a C- is required in WR135 to receive LACC credit. However, throughout the catalogue in places where it lists WR 135 as a needed prerequisite, it reads, “Prerequisite: WR 135 (or equivalent).” So, while the catalog implies that a C- is also needed in WR 135 to be used as a prerequisite for higher classes, the text does not specifically state it. Harding later said in a phone interview, “the registrar can only enforce what it says in the catalog.” The proposed “language clean up will help to close the gap,” she said of students slipping through the loophole. In a proposal submitted at the faculty senate meeting, the English department suggested a description be added to the page 33 catalog description reading, “When WR 135 or equivalent is listed as a prerequisite, this means that the LACC writing requirement (i.e., a grade of C- or better) must be fulfilled.” The English Department proposed that once adopted, the requirements for a WR 135 C- grade as a prerequisite should then be coded into the registration system. They ask that this be retroactive.

Food Day Fun Offers Help with Healthy Eating Choices BY ALLISON OPSON CLEMENT NEWS EDITOR

Presentations Share Native American Culture BY ALLISON OPSON CLEMENT NEWS EDITOR A series of guest presentations, open to the public, will offer unique insights into different aspects of Native American culture and history throughout fall term, courtesy of Political Science 425: Native American Politics and Policy. “We’re happy to have anybody come,” said Dr. Mark Henkels, social science division chair. “There’s a lot more people who have a tribal connection than you think; I’m always surprised.” Because of this, Henkels said, it is important to offer not only the course (which is available for one term every other year) but also open presentations for anyone who is interested in the subject, so that they can learn more. “I like to know what’s going on,” said freshman Unity Ballard, who has some Blackfoot tribe heritage, sitting in on the first presentation Wednesday, Oct. 15, to hear from Rob Green, an attorney with the CTGR. “I find it interesting.” Other speakers will include a tribal council member and a former Oregon Supreme Court Justice among others, on a topic of their choice. “I always say to them: ‘Say what you think people need to know, should know, ought to know; what they won’t get anywhere else,’” Henkels said. Other
than that, he lets each speaker choose their own subject matter. The class is co-taught by Henkels, and Justin Martin, his former student and a member of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon (CTGR). “We have these different definitions,” said Green. “Who gets to define who the tribe is?” Typically, it is the tribe that decides its own criteria for membership. According to Henkels, most Native American tribes (such as the Grand Ronde) have a different way of looking at people, which is based on a sense of community, rather than individualism, as European people may prefer. This difference is reflected historically in struggles of understanding Western political organizations, such as issues that arose when the federal government imposed a constitution-based management system on a tribe. Each of the dozens of tribes in the Pacific Northwest has their own unique culture. Some are still managed by oversight from agencies of the federal government, while others have attained self-determination, managing their own affairs directly. SEE POLITICS PAGE 12 >>
Western’s third annual Food Day, Thursday, Oct. 23, will teach the community about sustainability and healthy eating. “Free samples, fun activities and great information are the main things,” Karen Nelles, the director of campus dining and co-organizer of the event, said about what she believes will excite students about Food Day. The events will use crafts and games to further education on sustainability at Western. Victoria Brooks is a Food Day co-organizer and member of the Green Team, which seeks to maintain campus recycling services and educate the community about sustainability. She called Food Day an informal celebration of information sharing about how to create fresh meals from local products and share those with family and friends in a sustainable way. The Green Team works on Food Day to promote sustainability and keeping the Earth healthy, she said. This is the third year Western has participated in the fourth annual National Food Day. “You can’t live a sustainable life if you don’t know where your next meal is coming from,” Brooks said. Food Day and the Western Food Pantry are also about removing the shame from accepting help from govern-
ment agencies, Brooks said; she feels that it’s upsetting that a lot of people don’t know about the Pantry, and that they should not have to go hungry with such resources available. “The goal is to make it as not such a shameful thing, to make it a welcoming, a wellknown, well-respected resource,” said Mariah Custer, who is in charge of the WOU Food Pantry and another coorganizer of the event. The Pantry is a source of free, nutritious food available for anyone in need; its services are confidential. All donations will go directly to the Food Pantry. The Pumpkins for People event, supplied by donations from Charlie’s Organic Produce, offers a pumpkin in exchange for a non-perishable food item, while supplies last. “People seem to really enjoy it,” Jackson Stalley said of the event. “We always get rid of all our pumpkins.” One key issue that Food Day will be highlighting this year is farm worker justice, said Dr. Emily Plec, who is in charge of coordinating the event with Stalley. Certain vendors will be sharing information about the issues facing workers. “We’re really focused on the rights and the lives of the people who harvest our food,” Plec said. “We’re looking at the food industry and the wrong di-
rection it’s going,” said Nelles. “It’s also to tell people what campus dining is doing.” Nelles searches for “clean” food items (free of artificial preservatives and colors) to plan healthy for Valsetz. Her suppliers include several vendors in the local community, several of which will be represented at Food Day. She said she appreciates it when campus services can work collaboratively with the academic side of campus, in events such as this. Food Day at Western is sponsored by Campus Dining, the WOU Food Pantry, the Campus Garden, the Green Team, the Green Wolf Sustainability Club, and the Office of Academic Affairs. WHAT: Food Day WHERE: Werner University Center WHEN: Oct 23 – events and activities all day ADMISSION: Free. Bring a donation for the Food Pantry and receive a pumpkin.

TIMELINE Pumpkins will be exchanged for donations to the WOU Food Pantry all day (while supplies last) on the WUC plaza and East foyer. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the WUC, vendors and organizations offer activities, demonstrations and freebees. During that time, the Ella Curran Food Bank will be collecting donations of spices and seasonings. Current and former Western English faculty will perform readings, followed by a food-related open mic, at noon in the CafFé Allegro lounge. Between 5 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., Valsetz Dining will provide a “clean” meal.
Free caramel apples will be provided by the Green Team at a free showing of “The Future of Food,” hosted by Dr. Dean Braa in the Mt. Jefferson Room in Valsetz at 6 p.m. On Friday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., volunteers can help relocate the WOU Campus Garden; contact Dr. Emily Plec at 503-838-8819 for more information, or visit the Facebook page at WOU Campus Garden. Participants of the Real Food Challenge on Friday will make a clean, healthy meal to share with their family or friends.

FOOTBALL STARTS OFF CONFERENCE PLAY WITH VICTORY OVER DIXIE STATE BY RACHEL SHELLEY SPORTS EDITOR
Western football played their first Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) game last Saturday where they held off Dixie State with a 19-14 victory in Monmouth. Senior quarterback Trey Shimabukuro went 24-37 for 303 yards; nine of those passes were caught from redshirt freshman wide receiver Paul Revis, who had 121 yards. The Wolves also improved their ground game, finishing with 133 yards compared to last week’s -23. Senior running back Nathaniel Panaranda ran for 110 yards with 18 carries, which makes him the first Western player to have 100 yards in a single game this season. Western opened the game with the first 16 points, which included a 21-yard field goal from junior kicker Jesse Correa and two touchdowns, a 28-yard pass to Revis and 3-yard touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Tyrell Williams. “Our goals are to win the GNAC and lead in as many statistical categories as we can and to just be known as the most physical team in the conference,” said Williams.

Senior defensive line Kraig Akins and junior linebacker Jonathan Breland each had five tackles. This win put Western 8-0 against Dixie State, and 13-2 overall in the series between the Storm. The Wolves finished with 436 total offensive yards and was two for three on fourth downs. The Wolves also edged Dixie State in time of possession by a near 20 minutes. The Wolves travel to Ellensburg
Wash. to take on Central Washington University (CWU) in their second GNAC match-up. “The CWU game is always a dog fight,” said Panaranda. “It’ll be important for us to start off physical and score points early to keep some pressure off our quarterback and offensive line.”

VOLLEYBALL LEADS IN STATS, STILL UNABLE TO BE VICTORIOUS
Wolves soccer shut out conference opponent Simon Fraser University 4-0 on Saturday Oct. 11, which puts them 3-2-3 in the Great Northwest Athletic conference (GNAC). Three Wolves scored in the 4-0 victory, with the first goal made in the 26th minute when junior midfielder Allison Frost chased down a loose ball from sophomore defender Allison Sprecher. Sophomore forward/midfielder Taylor Higa scored the second goal of the game in the second half. Junior midfielder/forward Makana Pundyke assisted Higa in the 65th minute for her second goal of the game. With 30 seconds left in the game, junior forward Julie Belden assisted sophomore midfield/forward Machaela Rapozo for the final goal. The Wolves had 21 shots to SFU’s nine and 15 shots on goal to the Clans three. SFU’s Priya Sandhu had 11 saves
while the Wolves’ senior goalie, Amanda Johnson, had three. “The win over SFU was definitely very important for our team,” said Higa. “At the beginning of the season we came up with a few goals. One of them was to make it into the final four and so this win has gotten us one step closer to that goal. This game was also a big confidence booster for us because we hadn’t been scoring very much this season so, 4 goals in one game was definitely a huge positive.” Central Washington traveled to Western Thursday, Oct. 16, where the final score was 0-0. In the last 356 minutes between these two teams not a single goal has been scored.Western’s next match-up will be Seattle Pacific in Monmouth on Saturday, Oct. 18 as part of conference play. The Wolves will finish their season with four road games.
Wolves’ volleyball took on No. 10 Western Washington University (WWU) Thursday, Oct. 9, where they fell in three sets, as well as Simon Fraser Univesity (SFU) on Monday Oct. 11, where they fell in four sets, 25-19, 17-25, 18-25 and 22-25. The Vikings edged the Wolves in kills, 4229, hitting percentage, .230-.078, and aces, 5-0. Senior opposite hitter Hannah Deede had nine kills, three block assists and a .207 attack percentage. Senior outside hitter, Sam Moore, added seven kills and two block assists for the Wolves and also had a team best of .333 attack percentage. The Wolves finished the match with 63 digs to WWU’s 59. The match saw eight ties and four lead changes. The four-set match against SFU saw 23 tie scores, 10 of which were in the fourth set, as well as nine lead changes. The Wolves won the first set before the Clan came back to win the next three. Western edged SFU in kills 49-48, hitting percentage .140-.121, and blocks 10-8, but was unable to hold off the Clan. “Sometimes in any sport the ‘numbers’ don’t tell the whole story,” said head coach Brad Saindon. “Sometimes intangible things are more responsible for an outcome. I hurt for my players because they feel such pressure in trying to turn our season around that it affects us on the court. I think any team in our situation would feel the same self-induced pressure that we do.” Deede led the Wolves in kills with 13 and had four blocks. Sophomore outside hitter Christie Colasurdo had nine kills, two aces and added one block. Sophomore outside hitter Lani Kalalau had eight kills with two blocks while Moore totaled six kills and five blocks for the wolves. “Our numbers in this match were good, and I think with repeat performances like against Simon Fraser we will begin to see the results that we are so hungry for,” said Saindon. The Wolves are currently on a three-game road trip where they took on Central Washington on Thursday, Oct. 16, and will continue to Nampa, Idaho to take on Northwest Nazarene University Saturday, Oct. 18, and then Saint Martin’s University on Oct. 25 in Lacey, Wash.

MIDNIGHT MADNESS:
BRINGING THE WESTERN COMMUNITY CLOSER SHOT AFTER SHOT BY RACHEL SHELLEY SPORTS EDITOR Fans, students and the Monmouth community gathered on Oct. 14 for the Midnight Madness festivities that showcased the women and men’s basketball programs, kicking off their 2014-2015 season. The first 100 fans received T-shirts when they walked through the doors; glow sticks and pizza were also given out. Competition started with 3-point contest that put the men against the women and allowed fans and students to compete. Junior forward Kelsey Henry and junior guard Katie Goddard matched up in the first shootout and tied three times before Goddard sealed the win. The men’s shootout showcased senior forward Lewis Thomas and junior guard Jordan Wiley in a match up; Thomas moved forward with young fan Tanner who beat Western softball player Lexi Jennings. As they moved along to the finals, Thomas defeated Goddard, leaving only the two men to rival it
out. At the end of the shootout, Tanner came out on top, stealing the show and becoming the overall champion. The obstacle course skills challenge featured senior forward Dana Goularte, Wolves’ national competitor track athlete Brady Beagley, redshirt junior guard Elise Miller, Western football’s Paul Revis, young fan Ty Nelson and sophomore guard Jordan Mottershaw. The last competition of the night was the dunk contest which included four Wolves men’s basketball players: redshirt sophomore center Connor Thompson, junior guard/forward Jordan Schriber, redshirt freshman forward JJ Chirnside and senior forward Adam Hastings, who won the contest. The first women’s home game is on Oct. 28 against Warner Pacific and the men kick-off their season at Oregon State on Nov. 7 before their first home game on Nov. 21 against Azusa Pacific.

History comes to Western Local historical society exposition seeks to inform students and community members BY NATHANIEL DUNAWAY ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR Albany Regional Museum, The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, Oregon State University Special Collection and Independence Heritage Society are just a handful of the museums, archives and historical societies that came together on Wednesday, Oct. 15, for the Department of History’s Historical Exposition. From 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., booths and exhibits in the Werner University Center informed visitors of the rich history of the Willamette Valley, with specific focus on communities within reasonable driving distance from Western, to encourage would-be historians to seek out these towns and schools to learn more. Bob Reinhardt, visiting assistant professor of history at Western, led the charge for the first exposition of its kind at the university. The reason for the event was multi-fac-
eted, according to Reinhardt. “We really wanted to inform both the students and the community,” said Reinhardt. “We invited a handful of community members to [the exposition]. Historical societies and museums are always looking for volunteers. These places are often understaffed. Our goal [was to] publicize the amazing historical resources in the midWillamette Valley. The idea is that these are all places you could get to within an hour. You go, you research, you volunteer and you can get work experience.” From in-depth information on the walking tour of Independence’s historic district, to North Santiam’s exhibit on the loggers and mill workers of Mill City, to actual Native American artifacts courtesy of the Chachalu Tribal Museum and Cultural Center, for three hours the WUC was alive with the past, with a total of 13 exhibits, each providing a different historical experience. Albany Regional Museum’s booth, for example, described their efforts to restore and repair headstones in their local cemetery. Represented by Collections and Exhibits Coordinator Megan Lallier-Barron and Collections Specialist Addie Maguire, Albany Regional Museum’s cemetery project seeks to fix headstones and grave markers that have been damaged either by, as LallierBarron put it “weather erosion, human interference or [a] combination of the two.”

The Western Oregon University Archives, however, takes the prize for the exhibit most relevant to Western students. The Archives, according to their brochure, “collects, stores, organizes, promotes, and makes accessible a wide variety of records, publications, photographs, and artifacts about the history of Western since its founding.” Items such as photographs, scrapbooks, yearbooks, ledgers, letters, newspapers, speeches, posters, and Western-related clothing are just a few of the items housed in the collection. Archive Coordinator Jerrie Lee Parpart commented on the recent lack of student documentation in the archives. In past decades, Western had an annual yearbook, but this tradition ended around 1990. The Western archives are open to students, faculty and staff Monday – Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., by appointment only. Reinhardt has high hopes for the historical exposition’s longevity: “We’d love to have this event on an annual basis. This is the first of its kind, and we hope it proves relevant for students.” All of the museums, archives, and historical societies mentioned in this article have websites where you can find more information on community history and volunteer job opportunities.

Amy Hammermeister speaks Tuesday night to students on issues regarding eating disorders. PHOTO BY KATRINA PENAFLOR
SPEAK:
Raising Awareness about Eating Disorders Nearly 20 percent of women and 10 percent of men on a college campus have an eating disorder BY KATRINA PENAFLOR FREELANCER The organization, SPEAK, which stands for Students Promoting Equity, Activism and Knowledge, put together a special presentation Wednesday, Oct. 15, to bring awareness to students about eating disorders. The two speakers, Amy Hammermeister and Emily Swart, helped dismiss common misconceptions about eating disorders and shared their own personal insight. The presentation began with a video of poetry slammer, Katie Makkai, defining the word “pretty.” Katie spoke with passion and enthusiasm and made it known that the word “pretty” should not define a woman and society needs to stop enforcing what they think makes a person “attractive.” Following the video, Hammermeister, a professor of nutrition and human sexuality, presented. She presented a PowerPoint on disordered eating and eating disorders. The difference between the two is that disordered eating, for example chronic dieting, is a precursor for an eating disorder. It can have severe health risks, like poor nutrition and low energy. Commonly undiagnosed by doctors and physicians, disordered eating is typically not considered a severe enough condition or problem to be labeled a disorder. The issue with this is that not enough people receive the help needed when dealing with disordered eating. An eating disor-
der, as defined by Hammermeister is, “[a] psychiatric disorder that must be clinically diagnosed by a physician.” Some examples are anorexia, bulimia and binge eating. Eating disorders can be set off by a variety of triggers like family stress, offhanded comments about a person’s body, unrealistic media images, body image or sociocultural values. Hammermeister provided some valuable information on ways to offset these triggers. Intuitive eating is one, respecting a body’s signals of hunger, gentle nutrition and learning to reject a diet mentality can all help a person make peace with food and keep their body healthy. The next speaker was Swart, a receptionist at The Cottage and a board assistant. She gave an emotional and powerful talk about her personal experience with an eating disorder. She spoke openly about her battle with anorexia and how she was able to recover from it. It took strength and support from friends and family to learn that, “self-care is not selfish.” Swart finds it important to bring eating disorders into the light, so that people can become more aware and knowledgeable about them. Loving and learning to be comfortable with one’s body is immensely important, like Swart said, “life is too short for selfhatred and celery sticks”.
As program coordinator, Boyle makes sure the organization runs smoothly and maintains a proper amount of volunteers so the services offered to students can be utilized constantly. Stonewall offers a variety of resources, advocacy and support, Boyle said. There is also a library which features queer-focused movies and books that people can borrow. However, most importantly, Stonewall provides a safe and comforting place for people to hang out, do homework, and simply feel accepted. Sam Stageman, a sophomore, heard of Stonewall’s event through a friend. Stageman is involved in Triangle Alliance, a student-led group that supports the LGBTQ community. The atmosphere of Stonewall was “comforting, supportive and a place to be myself,” she said in an interview on Tuesday. It was an event that helped her to validate who she is. “If I’m open about my own asexualness, I can help others with it,” Stageman said. For Brandon Sherrard, being involved in “National Coming Out Day” looked like a fun thing to participate in and raise awareness for. The presence of the community is growing, Sherrard said. He encourages other students to get involved and to help point people who need help in the right direction. “It’s a good part of campus life,” Sherrard said. Tuesday’s event was an open house, and people dropped in constantly to offer support, hang out, or bravely write their coming out stories on the board. At the end of the day, the door was filled with quotes, support and honesty.
The Stonewall Center got its name from a series of riots that began on June 27, 1969, in a gay bar called Stonewall, according to its educational pamphlet regarding Stonewell’s establishment. These riots, which lasted for five days, originated from a police raid in Stonewall Bar. Raids targeting gay bars were common during that time and many patrons would be arrested, harassed and beaten by the police, the pamphlet said. But the LGBTQ community began to fight back on June 27, refusing to be discriminated
has come to represent a community that will no longer fear, but fight for equality and a rightful place in the history of a country founded on the belief of freedom and liberation for all.” And that is exactly what the Stonewall Center advocates for and represents. According to Boyle, 1015 students drop by Stonewall every day – some to just hang out with friends, and other searching for support and comfort. Stonewall used to be housed inside a closet, but now it shares space with Abby’s House, downstairs in the Werner Center.
“Eventually, wouldn’t it be nice if discrimination based on identity wasn’t even a thing at Western?” GABRIELLE BOYLE STONEWALL PROGRAM COORDINATOR against solely because of their gender. The first riot launched several others, and soon hundreds joined in fighting against brutality towards individuals who were gay or lesbian. Civil rights marches took place after the riots ended; although peaceful, the marches still demanded equality. Exactly a month later, New York held the first ever Gay Rights Parade, encouraging individuals of the LGBTQ community to stand up for equality, justice and peace. “In America,” the pamphlet read, “Stonewall”
“Now that we’ve ‘come out of the closet’, we have much more space, [it] feels much more inviting now,” Boyle said. What’s next for Stonewall? “My hope is that more people that know nothing about the community will start coming into the center,” Boyle said. She wants to see more people being trained as volunteers, or just to be there as a support system. “ E v e n t u a l l y,” B o y l e said, “wouldn’t it be nice if discrimination based on identity wasn’t even a thing at Western?”

WESTERN WELCOMES “THE SUMMER SET” BY NATHANIEL DUNAWAY ENTERTAINMETN EDITOR

Jess Bowen drummer of “The Summer Set”. PHOTO COURTESY OF ENTERWINE.NET Jess Bowen of “The Summer Set”, a pop/rock band from Scottsdale, Arizona, is one of the most popular female drummers performing today. We sat down with Jess to discuss the band’s history, as well as her thoughts on what it’s like being the only female in the group. Q. First off, if you could, give us the backstory of your band “The Summer Set” Jess: The Summer Set consists of Brian Dales, Josh Montgomery, Stephen and John Gomez and me. Myself, along with the Gomez Brothers have been playing music together since we were in middle school, and we had a few bands that played locally around Arizona. We decided to completely start brand new and get a new singer in 2007. Those were the Myspace days and we posted a Myspace bulletin. It was like seven in the morning, and Brian was up for some reason, I think he
was taking his S.A.T’s that morning and he responded to the bulletin, we tried him out and it all fell into place. A year after that we asked Josh Montgomery to join. We formed “The Summer Set” in 2007, and the rest is history. Q.How did the name “The Summer Set” come about?” Jess: Well, basically we didn’t have a name, and we were about to go into the studio and we were like “I guess we need a band name.” So we opened up an atlas, and I think it was John and Stephen’s dad actually that saw this town called Somerset, in New Jersey. There is no cool explanation to our name so we kind of wish that we had made something really cool up when people ask us where our name came from. Q. You come from a family of musicians,
correct? Jess: Yes. My dad and older brother are both drummers, so they were the reason I got into the drums. We always had a drum set around the house. I had never actually wanted to play the drums; I wanted to be the rebellious child, I wanted to play guitar and sing. So what happened was, my dad told me that if I joined the school band and played drums in the school band for a year or two, that he’d buy me a guitar, and then he never bought me a guitar. Q. How would you describe a “Summer Set” show? What should students expect from the show next week? Jess: It’s a really fun, energetic show. There’s a lot of crowd interaction. We try to make [the audience] feel like a part of the show.
to the UK. What’s it like touring there? Jess: We started going to the UK in 2011, and we’ve gone, I’d say, two to three times a year since then. We have a great fan base there, we all love going there. The UK is one of our favorite places to tour. We really love going back there as much as possible. Q. What have been some of your favorite venues to perform at here in the states? Jess: There’s quite a few that I love performing in. The Warfield and the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco are two great ones. In Washington D.C., there’s a club called the 9:30 Club. That’s one of my favorite places to play ever. The energy is really great in these places. It’s amazing to say you’ve played on the same stage as some of the musicians who’ve played at these places.

“I dealt with a lot of the stereotypes of, you know, walking into a venue and the security guard would say ‘girlfriends aren’t allowed in’ or ‘audience isn’t allowed in yet.’ … But it’s easier now. I’ve made a name for myself.”
–Jess Bowen
Q. Could you describe what the songwriting process is for your band? Jess: It’s been different for every album. With the first album, it felt very rushed. We’d be in the studio writing songs and we’d record them that day. There would be days when there was no practice, we just went in and recorded the different parts. The second album was a little different. A few of the guys went out to Nashville to do some co-writing with some different people, and after we got those demos, we went down to the studio in California and recorded a song a day. At least then we had the demos. For the last record, we moved into a house together in Arizona. We called it the Summer Set House. We tried to get a lot of writing done, but we only ended up using one song from the Summer Set House on our album. But it was the thesis of our album. If we hadn’t written that song I don’t know in what direction the album would have gone. Q. You’re obviously an inspiration to drummers, female drummers especially. What kind of adversity have you faced as a female drummer, and how should up and coming female drummers respond to similar adversity? Jess: It was definitely a struggle first starting out as a female drummer, especially being in a band with all guys, and touring with mostly
all guys, I could have easily been like “this is too much for me, I can’t handle this.” But it’s definitely something you have to hold on to. I’m very lucky to be the position I’m in. I’ve gained a lot more respect. When I first started touring, I dealt with a lot of the stereotypes of, you know, walking into a venue and the security guard would say “girlfriends aren’t allowed in” or “audience isn’t allowed in yet.” I dealt with that a lot. It was very frustrating. But it’s easier now. I’ve made a name for myself.

Q. I’ve saved my most hard-hitting question for last. Jess Bowen, puppies or kittens? Jess: Puppies! Definitely puppies. I love kittens, don’t get me wrong. I love cats, I love all animals. But I am the biggest dog lover I think you’ll ever meet. I like dogs more than I like humans. Jess Bowen and the rest of “The Summer Set” will be performing live for the Homecoming Concert next Thursday, Oct. 23 at 8 p.m in the Pacific Room of the Werner Center. Interview conducted by phone and transcribed by Nathaniel Dunaway.

Tribal histories provide local understanding Green sees self-determination as a successful enterprise, letting Native American tribes take back their futures. Green said, given the resources to deal with their own issues, tribes can manage their own affairs. This is also beneficial for state and local governments because it relieves the burden of managing tribal affairs. “There are horror stories out the wahoo,” said Green. “I think we often only hear just about those bad instances, but there are some good.” In these good cases, he said, federal officials and agencies can demonstrate an effective working relationship which benefits the tribe and the surrounding community. However, Green said that there is often an overwhelmingly negative perspective of the problems due to federal agency oversight on reservations, including a longstanding pattern of mismanagement. He said there is a large problem of tribes being underfunded, and that the U.S. has a mixed record of fulfilling their treaty obligations to the tribes. “Those populations, their history, it’s not a pretty history,” said Henkels. “The things that destroy cultures aren’t just military.” The federal government officially
stopped recognizing the Grand Ronde for almost thirty years. Many tribes were disbanded in the 1950s, what Henkels referred to as a mixture of some genuine good intentions advocating integration and also a fair amount of sheer greed for land and power. “But the people are still there; they still think they’re a tribe,” he said. “How do you come from nowhere, to be recognized again?” The tribe was recognized again in 1983. “Their challenge is, how to maintain our community 120 years from now,” Henkels said. “When the culture or community breaks down, the people break down.” Henkels said that tribal leaders are working on solving problems now, but have a long way to go. Still, he added, their communities are rediscovering pride in themselves. “It’s a lot more powerful than people think,” said Henkels. “There’s a lot of reasons to hope.” Raising awareness of the issues facing Native American populations can provide students with insight into local history, as well as foster an understanding of universal human challenges. Presentations will take place in HSS 237 at 5:30 on Wednesdays Oct 29, Nov. 12, 19 and Dec. 3.
