Three language programs cut Kristin Baughman News Editor Baughman.25@wright.edu
Over the next several years, three languages will be phased out of the university’s curriculum. These languages include Italian, Japanese and Russian. While this change has been decided solely due to recent budget restraints, Italian and Russian have struggled with enrollment in the higher level courses. However, Japanese has maintained a positive flow of students. “With Japanese, we offer three years of it, and the enrollment has been firm and steady with very good enrollment,” Marie Hertzler, Chair of the Department of Modern Languages. These languages were susceptible for removal due to the lack of full-time staff. “In those three languages, we have adjunct professors teaching, and we don’t have any full time or permanent professors in those languages,” Hertzler said. “So those languages are vulnerable because there are adjunct faculty teaching it.” Students who are currently enrolled in these three languages will have the opportunity to finish the classes needed to finish their language requirements or degree, as long as the classes are taken in succession and are passed with the required grade. Five languages will remain at Wright State, in-
Cats and coffee are generally what you can expect while lounging at home, but now, you can pet a cat while you wait for your macchiato. Dayton is now home to the Gem City Catfe, a coffee shop bringing adoptable cats and humans together. Having cats in a public eating establishment may be a foreign concept to some, but is a trend taking off on the coasts and overseas, and according to owner Karin Gudal-Johnson, Dayton is a great location for a new cat cafe. “It’s new, so I think for people that haven’t heard of it, are a little confused,” said Gudal -Johnson. “It’s a coffee house, a comfortable environment, with adoptable rescue cats living on sight. They are there to interact, it’s expectation free. You can do as much as play with a cat for an hour or if you like one, you can adopt.” Stemming from a passion for animals, Gudal-John-

cluding Arabic, Chinese, French, German and Spanish. “We have full-time faculty in those languages, and we really want to keep those languages robust,” Hertzler said. The Department of Modern Languages will be impacted just as much as the students. “We’re all dismayed, we’re all disappointed. We all prefer this would not happen,” Hertzler said. “We are all in support of the three languages and the professors,
the adjunct professors who are teaching those languages.” Hertzler encourages all student to enroll in languages, due to the many benefits it has both in Wright State as well as helping to acquire skills when getting a job after graduating. “Cultural competency is important, even when you work in an American business with American employees, but many of us come from different cultural backgrounds,” Hertzler said.
Ann Weisgarber, an award-winning author and Wright State Graduate, was presented with the 2016 Alumna of the Year Award following her graduation in 1976. Her novels are well known. The first one, “The Personal History of Rachel Dupree” won the Lagnum Prize for American Historical Fiction while also being praised by best-selling authors such as Alice Walker, the author of “The Color Purple.” Her second novel, “The Promise” has received rave reviews from the likes of the Dallas Morning News, commenting how “It’s the sort of tale that you find yourself staying up late at night to finish.” Weisgarber, graduate of Fairmont High School, worked in an office before deciding going to college would be the best choice for her. She claims her decision to go to Wright State was pretty easy since she noticed her brother, who was attending, was having a lot more fun than she was. “Wright State took me by surprise,” Weisgarber said. “There was a feeling that not a moment should be squandered. The atmosphere crackled with the sense of discovery.” Weisgarber graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree

son wants her establishment to make a difference to animals within the community. “We want to promote rescue cats and their image, and make sure that a rescued animal is not a damaged animal,” Gudal-Johnson said. “It’s not their fault that their owners moved or they had a child who became allergic, or their grandma moved in, it’s still a great cat that needs a home.” Though it’s designed to promote adoption, customers that just want to come and spend time with the cats are welcome. “One of the goals is encouraging empathy and connection between animals and people,” Gudal-Johnson said. “Even if you don’t want to adopt a cat or already own cats, you can still come, meet the animals there, play while you’re studying, talking to a friend, relaxing, anything.” In addition to promoting adoption, Gem City Catfe wants to help cats outside of the home. “Obviously adoption is really important, but one reason South Park, St. Anne’s are im-
portant to us, is the community cat problems that are here,” Gudal-Johnson said. “What we would really like to do, that has worked in other areas, is set up housing in those areas, like little stations where they can have shelter, food. This makes it easier to know where they will be, so we can trap them, neuter them, vaccinate and clip their ears so they know they’ve been through the program. This way, they don’t overpopulate and they’re vaccinated, so they aren’t spreading some of the key diseases.”
Gem City Catfe also plans to engage with the community by hosting events like photography lessons for beginners and those who are more advanced once the building is up and running. Gudal-Johnson also stated that there will be student discounts available when opened. Though a location is still in the works, Gem City Catfe will be completed in 2017. For future updates, students can check them out on social media, such as facebook and twitter.

After all, I owe the university a debt of gratitude I can’t repay,” Weisgarber said. “Many wonderful things have happened for me, and it is not an exaggeration to say that most of those are the direct results of my four years at Wright State.” Since 2012, Weisgarber has been a part of the Rise.

The campaign has raised over 160 million dollars thus far.
Raider 5000 strives to raise resources for Friendship Food Pantry Leah Kelley Editor-in-Chief Kelley.90@wright.edu The Wright State Friendship Food Pantry (FFP) launched a campus-wide fundraiser to collect 5,000 items from Oct. 24 to 29. “Last year we collected around 3,000 items,” Pantry Coordinator Mary Case stated. “When the donation drive was started, we were shooting for 500 items. Participation is obviously growing, which is why we are shooting for 5000 items this week.” The FFP assists students of all ages and backgrounds, from veterans to new moms and dads, even freshman living in WSU dorms. “Our pantry is run by faculty, staff and student volunteers and students from service learning courses,” Case said. “Volunteers process inventory, help write publications, collect donations, and serve clients in the pantry. We have volunteers that visit us on a weekly, monthly, and semester basis.” Whether students are interested in volunteering or are struggling with food insecurity, the Friendship Food Pantry is there to help.

Toy Story 4 scheduled for production Leah Kelley Editor-in-Chief Kelley.90@wright.edu Toy Story 4 from Disney Pixar is coming to screens, and our inner-child is screaming with excitement. The film will be written by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, and directed by John Lasseter, who directed both Toy Story and Toy Story 2. “We love these characters so much; they are like family to us,” said Lasseter. “We don’t want to do anything with them unless it lives up to or surpasses what’s gone before. Toy Story 3 ended Woody and Buzz’s story with Andy so perfectly that for a long time, we never even talked about doing another Toy Story movie. But when Andrew, Pete, Lee and I came up with this new idea, I just could not stop thinking about it. It was so exciting to me, I knew we had to make this movie—and I wanted to direct it myself.” The plot for the new film is rumored to revolve around Woody’s quest for the love of his life, Bo Peep. The film is set to be released in June 2019.

Finn Atkins (“Vera,” “Common”) will pay her older ssister Charlotte, author of Jane Eyre. Finally, Charlie Murphy (“The Last Kingdom”) will play the youngest sister Anne who wrote Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Sally Wainwright (“Last Tango in Halifax”) will write and direct the film. “This is such an exciting and ambitious project, and we have already had a huge amount of interest in it," Wainwright said in a BBC press release. "Something about the lives of these three brilliant, talented Yorkshire women seems to touch people at a very deep level."
Evidence could prove that Amelia Earhart was a castaway Leah Kelley Editor-in-Chief Kelley.90@wright.edu
Starbucks releases holiday cup
Amelia Earhart, a female aviator who attempted to be the first woman to fly around the world, disappeared mysteriously in 1937. The search for her remains has been a mystery scientists have longed to crack, and they might be one step closer than ever before. Bones found on the remote Pacific Island of Nikumaroro in 1940 might actually belong to Earhart, according to The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR). The news was announced on Oct. 22 after over 70 years of scientists believing the bones belonged to a male. However, after more recent research, the bones have been determined to match Earhart’s height and origin. TIGHAR is a non-profit organization that released in a statement, “The match does not, of course, prove that the castaway was Amelia Earhart but it is a significant new data point that tips the scales further in that direction.” However, airplane fragments and female artifacts believed to have fallen from Earhart’s plane were found in a similar region as the bones. Anti-freckle cream, a woman’s mirror and a flight jacket zipper were such artifacts. The freckle cream jar matches the dimensions of a cream commonly used by women in that era, hinting that Earhart might have been a castaway on Nikumaroro for an undetermined amount of time. The search for answers surrounding Earhart’s disappearance continues 76 years later.
Starbucks released their limited-time green holiday cups. In the design, a single line connects a coffee farmer, a family, a barista and friends embracing. “The green cup and the design represent the connections Starbucks has as a community with its partners (employees) and customers. During a divisive time in our country, Starbucks wanted to create a symbol of unity as a reminder of our shared values, and the need to be good to each other,” said Howard Schultz, chairman and CEO. The artist, Shogo Ota, says this threaded design represents shared humanity and connection, serving as a symbol to unite the community. Starbucks has yet to confirm if this cup is the only holiday edition the public will see. As of now, holiday plans are still “under wraps”. The release of this cup brought speculation and mixed opinions, with a tweet reading, “My Starbucks cup is green. What level of outrage should I be at Twitter?” Dan Moot said.

Free HIV testing available to students Kristin Baughman News Editor Baughman.25@wright. edu Greene County Public Health will hold HIV testing on Wednesday, Nov. 30 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in the 105 and 107 Student Union. Testing involves an oral swab. This is a free service and the results will be given within 20 minutes. This process involves looking for the HIV antibodies rather than the HIV infection itself. Anyone who feels at risk for HIV infection are eligible to be tested.
HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, which is the virus that causes AIDS. However, HIV is different than most viruses because it attacks the immune system. HIV finds and destroys a type of white blood cells (known as T cells), which the body needs to combat the disease. This will be the last session of HIV testing done on campus for the remainder of the year. However, Greene County Public Health will continue to hold free screenings in the 15 testing sites.
Third annual Veteran’s Ball coming in November Sarah Cavender Contributing Writer Cavender.8@wright.edu Wright State’s Veterans Affairs will host its third annual Veteran’s Ball. The event will take place on Friday, Nov. 11 in the Apollo Room. The event is open to everyone and it is a black tie theme. It will feature speakers, dancing, food and drink, and starts at 6 p.m. with a cocktail hour. The tickets for the ball are $60 for non-veterans, $50 for students, $45 for any veteran and $30 for student veterans. Tickets are now on sale and they can be purchased inside the Veterans Affairs Office located on the first floor of Millet Hall.
All proceeds of the ticket purchases will go to the Vets League Scholarship for student veterans. The proceeds also go toward supporting the travel to the Student Veterans of America Conference. Last year the ball had around 150 attendees. Aaron Pitts, who is in charge of organizing the Veteran’s Ball stated, “The goal is to provide an opportunity for veterans and their guests to continue the tradition of a formal ceremony honoring the military and those who have served. The net proceeds from this event among other things will aid in funding a need based scholarship for student veterans.”
No poo for you: Anti shampoo movement Adam Ramsey Features Editor Ramsey.55@wright.edu Some people are turning from their standard shampoo rituals for something healthier. The basis for the “no poo movement” is a fight against unnecessary chemicals in shampoo in favor of a more natural approach. It is believed that shampooing daily strips hair of its natural oils and causes a number of problems that can be resolved by washing less or using alternatives to unnatural shampoo. According to nopoomethod.com, for many who start their no poo journey, this could begin as shampooing less often, or possibly not at all. Going from daily shampooing to every other day, or from every other day to every few days could help, but will leave the scalp feeling more oily until it normalizes after a period of a few weeks. For others, it means
replacing shampoo with something believed to be less harmful, like baking soda and apple cider vinegar, or other ingredients like clays or special oils. However, some doctors and healthcare professionals are unconvinced whether or not the no poo movement is really healthier for your hair or not. Mark Junkerman, WSU graduate in mechanical engineering, has been using alternative shampoo methods for a year and a half. “I was frustrated with synthetic shampoo because it was causing more problems than it was fixing, like my dandruff,” Junkerman said. “With synthetic shampoo, I would use anti-dandruff shampoo. It would work for one day and then dandruff would come back with a vengeance. The initial method I used was baking soda and apple cider vinegar. The dandruff was being kept at bay better.”

Where do the presidential candidates stand on hot topics? Kristin Baughman News Editor Baughman.25@wright.edu
The upcoming presidential election gives the public many issues to consider. There are a variety of platforms involved, making the decision difficult for many. Four candidates will be on the ballot in November: Clinton (Democrat), Johnson (Libertarian), Stein (Green) and Trump (Republican).
Death Penalty For:
Clinton: “I think it [the death penalty] can still be held in reserve for those. And the kind of crimes I’m thinking of are the bombing in Oklahoma City, where an American terrorist blew up the government building, killing, as I recall, 158 Americans, including a number of children who were in the preschool program.” Trump: “The death penalty. It should be brought back and it should be brought back strong... They say it’s not a deterrent. Well, you know what, maybe it’s not a deterrent but these two [men convicted of killing two police officers in Hattiesburg, MS] will not do any more killing. That’s for sure.”
Against:
Johnson: “I understand the eye-for-an-eye, tooth-for-a-tooth mentality but, realistically public policy should have room for mistakes. Killing one innocent person who was wrongly accused is not worth executing 99 guilty people.” Stein: “America’s experience shows that capital punishment does not effectively stop crimes from being committed. And our judicial system makes mistakes, killing people who are innocent.”
Abortion For:
Clinton: “I believe we need to protect access to safe and legal abortion, not just in principle but in practice.” Johnson: “Gov. Johnson recognizes that the right of a woman to choose is the law of the land today, and has been for several decades. That right must be respected.” Stein: “I stand by a woman’s right to choose. We need complete reproductive healthcare, which includes the right to an abortion.”
Against:
Trump: “I’m, pro-life...very simply pro-life.”
Free tuition for universities
Fracking (an
alternative way of gathering oil from underneath water sources)
For:
For:
Clinton: “Students should never have to borrow to pay for tuition, books, and fees to attend a four-year public college in their state under the New College Compact. Students at community college will receive free tuition.” Stein: “Abolish student debt to free a generation of Americans from debt servitude. Guarantee tuition-free, world-class public education from pre-school through university.”
Against:
Johnson: “I would not believe that colleges or universities should be free. So from a federal standpoint… they would be too expensive from a federal standpoint.” Trump: “There’s no such thing as free education, because you know that ultimately somebody else is going to be paying for that education.”
Clinton: “[T]he United States will promote the use of shale gas [the gas accessed by fracking]. Now I know that in some places it is controversial. But natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel available.” Johnson: “It could become much more effective, meaning it could have a much higher yield. So it sounds very pragmatic to me, but that would be where I’m at.” Trump: “Fracking will lead to American energy independence. With price of natural gas continuing to drop, we can be at a tremendous advantage.”
Against:
Stein: “Fracking is a national threat to our water, our health, and our future. It’s time to work for a national ban on fracking and a just transition to 100% clean renewable energy by 2030.
What not to do on election day Kasi Ferguson Features Writer ferguson.137@wright. edu In the midst of a hot political climate, November 8th can seem pretty intimidating. It’s important for everyone who hasn’t already cast an absentee ballot to get to the voting booths on Election Day, but there are some important things people should know to make sure the voting experience goes smoothly at the polls. 1. Don’t wear or carry a candidate’s campaign merchandise to or around the voting location. This is known as passive electioneering, and while Ohio isn’t one of the big states known for being nitpicky about such things, it’s best to avoid any complications. 2. Absolutely no pictures can be taken of the ballot. If it’s found

out that a person’s ballot is posted on social media, it can be thrown out. Many will be proud of their vote, but it’s best to just take a selfie with the “I Voted” sticker. 3. Do not bring any identification except what is explicitly stated to be accepted. There are many resources online, as well as on voter registration cards mailed to individuals’ addresses, that list what forms of ID are accepted. Bringing nonsufficient identification can result in casting a provisional ballot, which isn’t guaranteed to be counted. 4. Try to avoid underestimating how long the voting process can take. If a person is running on a tight schedule, it’s important to try and find information on peak voting times in their area. This can help them plan when the quickest and easi-
est time to vote will be. 5. Don’t request an absentee ballot, then decide to go to the voting booth - unless the absentee ballot is brought along. If the absentee ballot is brought, then those working know the person hasn’t voted. If it isn’t brought, that person will most likely have to cast a provisional ballot. 6. Don’t think

someone’s vote doesn’t matter! Those between the ages of 18 and 35 - otherwise known as millennials - are statistically less likely to vote than older age groups. This is despite the fact that they are similar to older age groups in size, and therefore could have a similarly large impact on the election. It’s important for every able person to vote.

5 Wright State considers privatizing parking Adam Ramsey Features Editor Ramsey.55@wright.edu Wright State University is considering outsourcing its parking operation to aid in the university’s budget crisis. Robert Sweeney, executive vice president for planning and secretary to the board of trustees said that the university was searching for alternative revenue streams to compensate for the decrease in state funding without affecting tuition. “Typically what happens is that the state provides funding and we charge tuition,” Sweeney said. “Between the two of those, that covers expenses. If the university receives fewer dollars from the state, the alternative then is to raise tuition. We want to main-
tain affordability for our students, so we’re looking for alternative revenue streams that can help us.” According to the Dayton Daily News, the university have been considering outsourcing their parking, taking steps to meet those that aided Ohio State with its parking. However, Sweeney said that the university has yet to make up its mind on outsourcing parking. “You can look at the advantages of privatizing parking, but when you do something like that, there are probably disadvantages to something like that as well,” Sweeney said. “There may be some unintended consequences so great that you don’t want to do it at all.” Sweeney expects to see a committee formed of faculty,
staff and students to assess the advantages and disadvantages as thoroughly as possible to assure that it would be the right decision for the university. Dayton Daily News cited a propos-
al raised at a board of trustees meeting. The proposal stated that privatized parking could earn the university approximately $6.8 million, costing $200,000 ro finalize negotiations. As of right now, there
is no information on if or when this alternative revenue stream will take effect. In addition to privatized parking, there are other revenue streams that the university is
considering, like naming rights for parts of The Nutter Center. The Guardian will update as more information becomes available.

Movie Review: “Inferno” What to know about the misses the mark Dakota Access Pipeline
Kelsey Powell Staff Writer Powell.210@wright.edu
“Inferno” is the new movie sequel to “The Da Vinci Code” and “Angels and Demons” with Tom Hanks playing his usual part as professor Robert Langdon. Langdon and his sidekick Sienna Brooks (Felicity Jones) trek across Europe to destroy a virus that could erase half the world’s population like a plague. They follow clues and secrets tied to Dante, the famous poet and his eight levels of hell, all while trying to hide from World Health Organization (WHO) and the concealite.
Along the way they also find that the good guys aren’t always good and puzzles have many pieces that need to be found to put it together. The movie was decent, there were good parts that made me tense up and worry that they would get caught. Looking at the big picture, however, there were things that weren’t so great, like the fact that the sidekick was figuring out most of the clues. I wanted to see Hanks figure out the clues and where to go next, not the sidekick. I’m a firm believer that Hanks can make any movie great, but the plot twists and going out in broad daylight
when people are chasing you down (with guns) doesn’t make any sense. The film was a box office upset, bombing by about $15 million. If that wasn’t enough, the ending throws you for a loop and it wasn’t something I expected. It turns out that mostly everything that happened was an illusion and I don’t know how, but it was an interesting ending. I was confused and left the theater feeling like “what just happened?” Overall, I liked the movie because it was decent, but it also wasn’t my favorite. I would watch it again, but only if it was rented.
Adam Ramsey Features Editor Ramsey.55@wright.edu There has been a lot of controversy around Standing Rock, North Dakota with the pipeline being built and the protests surrounding it, but what is the story behind it all? Energy Transfer Partners, a Texas-based oil company, is building a pipeline to transport oil to southern illinois from North Dakota. The pipeline, upon completion will stretch from the Bakken oil fields in western North Dakota through South Da-
kota, Iowa and Illinois. According to Time. com, the pipeline is designed to carry 570,000 barrels worth of crude oil daily. The pipeline also crosses through Lake Oahe, a sacred burial site to Sioux and an source for water for the community, according to Business Insider. Many protests are due to the potential for the pipeline’s potential to leak and the devastating impact it could have on the community’s water supply. Energy Transfer Partners claims that the protecting Land owner interest and the envi-
ronment are among its top priorities. According to the Energy Transfer Partners website, extra safety precautions have been taken to ensure safety, and the pipeline will have a national impact on U.S. oil dependency, and an impact on the local economy, expecting a combined total over $200 million in state and local taxes and approximately 8-12,000 jobs created. Smithsonian.com said that Energy Transfer Partners have yet to respond to a request from the Obama administration to stop construction voluntarily.

6 Sports Northern Kentucky takes down WSU’s women’s soccer to end Raiders’ season
Cameron Summers Sports Editor Summers.43@wright.edu
The Horizon League Women’s Soccer tournament kicked off this week as the Raiders faced Northern Kentucky for the second time this week. On Monday Oct. 31st the Raiders fell 1-0 to the Norse to end the season for the Raiders. Early in the second half the Norse scored the lone goal of the game. The goal was scored by Jessica Frey assisted by Horizon League Player of the year Macy Hamblin. Wright State’s season ended with a 6-11-2 overall record and a Horizon League record of 4-4-1. Wright State also played Northern Kentucky on Tues. Oct. 25th, and the results were also not in favor of the Raiders. Not even five minutes into the match Northern Kentucky scored their
first goal of the match as #3 Macy Hamblin punched it in for the Norse. The first goal was assisted by #22 Rachel Conaway. That goal was not the only goal scored in the half for the Norse of Northern Kentucky. Their second goal was scored at the 17:08 mark by #12 Jessica Frey also assisted by Conaway. Wright State’s Aaliyah Patten flashed her speed getting past the defenders late in the first half and got a shot at scoring, but unfortunately she missed the shot as she did on all five of her shots. As the first half was drawing to an end when the Norse capitalized on a corner kick with just 12 seconds remaining in the half to take a 3-0 lead into the half. The goal was scored by Hamblin, her second of the game. The assist came from #27 Samantha Duwel. The second half was
much better for the Raiders as they held the Norse scoreless. Play was physical throughout but at one point Paige Aguilera got a little too physical earning a yellow card. In the 75th minute the Raiders scored their first goal of the evening as Mattie Cutts got the header on the assist from Niki Romero. The Raiders pushed the ball many times in the final 15 minutes but were unable to score again. The Raiders fell the Northern Kentucky by a final score of 3-1. The Raiders also fell this week to Oakland by the score of 3-2. The Raiders had four players receive season accomplishments including one First Team All-League, Aaliyah Patten. The Raiders also have two Second Team All-League, Niki Romero and Katie Ruff, and one All-Freshman representative, Andrea Gomez.

Raiders clinch Horizon League Title against Panthers
Blake Sutherland Sports Writer Sutherland.21@wright.edu
The Wright State men’s soccer team (105-2; Horizon 6-1-1) won their final home game of the season against the Milwaukee University Panthers (7-7-2; Horizon 4-3-1) in overtime on Saturday, Oct. 29. Senior defender, Kaique Fernandes scored the first goal of the game for the Raiders after a pass from junior midfielder, AJ Patterson, in the 35th minute. The goal is Fernandes’ third of the season. Going into the second half with a 1-0 advantage over the Panthers, Wright State, held off the Panthers scoring attempts until the 72nd minute. A goal from sophomore midfield-
er, Jamie Colin tied the game for the Panthers. At the end of regulation, with a 1-1 score, the game would have to be settled in overtime. Despite the Milwaukee outshooting Wright State, 13-9, in regulation, Wright State constantly created opportunities for themselves to score in overtime. After four shots did not connect with the back of the net Patterson headed the ball off of a corner kick from sophomore midfielder, Jackson Dietrich for the golden goal. The goal not only propelled Wright State to a win but secured them at least a share of the regular season title. With one game left to play in the season and a three point lead over UIC, the Raiders are
a tie win or UIC loss away from being the sole team on top of the Horizon League standings. Since the Raiders are finishing the season with the best record in the Horizon League the Horizon League tournament will be held at Alumni Field and Wright State will begin the tournament with a bye. The first game of the tournament for the Raiders will be a semifinal game on Thursday, Nov. 10. If the Raiders win the semifinal match, they will head to the Horizon League Championship game on Saturday, Nov. 12 at 6 p.m. Before tournament play starts, Wright State will travel to Indiana, to face Valparaiso (94-3; Horizon 4-2-2) on Friday, Nov. 4 at 8 p.m.

Big Bucks being spent on World Series Tickets Cameron Summers Sports Editor Summers.43@wright.edu
The crowd anxiously awaits the first pitch as peanut vendors walk up and down the aisles yelling, “Get you peanuts here!” Kids and adults alike are excited to witness history. The excitement has created such a buzz that the whole city is backing the home team. This atmosphere is one that hasn’t been at Wrigley Field since 1945, the last time the Chicago Cubs were in the World Series. This time around the pressure is even higher than last as they look to end a 108 year drought from the glory of being World Series champs. In their way are the Cleveland Indians and their al-
most as desperate fans. The two teams currently have the two longest World Series droughts in baseball. The Cubs have been held without one for 108 years, and the Indians haven’t won in 67 seasons. These two teams are battling for the spot at the top that the franchises so desperately want, and fans are equally desperate to see the games. The average ticket price for the series has become astronomical. The average ticket price, according to The Daily Beast, to see a game at Wrigley Field in Chicago is now over $6,000, and at Progressive Field in Cleveland the average cost is over $3,000. According to ESPN. com one fan bought

tickets for four seats at $17,950 per ticket to sit in the bullpen box for game five. Also according to ESPN.com the highest overall price paid for tickets was four tickets for game seven behind the Cubs’ dugout. Those tickets sold for $24,500 per ticket Saturday night’s game at Wrigley Field has a lowest price of around $1,500 and the bars surrounding charge over $150 to watch the game in the bar. The price hike in tickets is no surprise considering the combined drought of over 170 years between the two teams, but unless you’re willing to spend the big bucks it looks like you will have to settle for watching the game from home.

Selena, 23—To the handsome bro in my marketing class, I’m feeling some major chemistry. When are you going to admit that you want me too? Let’s head to Tuty’s and see what comes of this attraction. Chat me up in class on Tuesday.
Francis, 20—I’m not 21 but I’m looking for a girl to hang out with who is 21. Find me at BART.
Marco—To the girls who think I own Marco’s Pizza, please stop. I cannot provide free pizza. I do not own my own restaurant. I’m a freshman with a cool name, that’s it. Leave me alone!!!

HOROSCOPES Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 20) There’s something in the air this week, Aries, and it’s going to drive you crazy. Is it onions? A fart? An old lunch box? Who knows? What we do know is that this smell is going to follow you around all week. The only way to keep this nasty odor at bay is to wear a clove of garlic around your neck from now until next Tuesday. Good luck, friend.
Taurus (Apr. 21-May 21) The stars have aligned for you, Taurus, which means you’ll eat too many beans this week and have a diahrrea explosion at the most inconvenient time. Stay close to your bathroom in case the squirts hit when you’re not near a toilet. Your lucky meal is: Bean burritos.
Libra (Sep. 24-Oct. 23) Reserve your judgements until you meet the person your friends desperately want to set you up with. The heart knows what it wants, and your heart wants to get to know this stranger. Everything will fall into place when your eyes meet.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Just stop! Your friends are done with your whining and complaining, Scorpio. If you don’t check yourself before you wreck yourself, you’ll find yourself standing beside a dumpster— homeless.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)
Almanzo—If you’re looking for a prairie man, I’m your guy.

Fonzo, 22—Jennifer, my friends and I can’t stop talking about you, you so fine. Wanna take you out to rollerblade sometime. Hit me up in Psych class this Tuesday. Kisses.
Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb.19)
Do not skip the gym this week, Gemini, because your future partner awaits you at the squat rack. You’ll recognize them immediately by their neon Coldplay tank top and killer butt. Your lucky conversation topic is: Walking in on your roommate doing dirty things to their Tinder hook-up.
It’s been a spooky week for you, Sagittarius, but the spooking isn’t anywhere near over. In fact, it has just begun. The only way to avoid the scares (i.e. clowns, ghouls, monsters, ghosts) is to lock yourself in your room and not come out until Saturday morning. Do not come out, not even for snacks or potty breaks. Good luck in there.
Stay true to your one love, Aquarius. Don’t be tempted by the people flirting with you. Instead, cling to your partner with every ounce of your will. They stayed true to you, so you stay true to them! Your lucky conversation topic is: Marriage.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Capricorn (Dec. 23-Jan. 20)
Pisces (Feb. 20-Mar.20)
You’re cute and you know it, Cancer. While people like to compare you to adorable animals like baby birds, raccoons, and cuddly kittens, you know deep down that you’re more of a bear personality. Let your inner animal roar this week, and let your friends see it. Your lucky conversation topic is: Grab bags.
You’re feeling frisky, and so is your plumber. Call him to your house to fix your “leaky pipe” and watch the love start flowing. Didn’t think you were capable of love? Well, think again, because this plumber is pretty good with his hands. Your lucky conversation topic is: The clogged drain in your basement shower.
Cooking isn’t your forte, Pisces, but that’s about to change. Grab a spatula and hit the kitchen, because the stars have spoken and a chance at appearing on Iron Chef has just become yours. Whip the egg whites, sizzle the bacon, stir the puddings and watch your chance at fame grow.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 21)
Virgo (Aug. 22- Sep. 23)
Check back next week to read more horoscopes!
Looking for love? Well, give up. Love is nowhere to be found in the vicinity. You need to leave town if you want a chance at romance. Your lucky conversation topic is: Gary, Indiana.
Virgo, this week is looking absolutely splendid for you. All of your plans will pan out, your crush will talk to you and your classes will be a breeze. Give back by volunteering at your local animal shelter. You might even fall in love with a puppy there.
