W
hat has become a norm on Wright State’s campus took a dramatic turn on Tuesday, Sept. 15 as a new “quad god” took the stage. WSU Police were dispersed throughout the area in case the issue got out of hand. Condom balloons floated down the brick sidewalks as Brother Dean Saxton of the University of Arizona raised signs as well as his voice as he faced the gathering crowd of students in the quad. When asked why Saxton decided to visit Wright State, Saxton said, “It’s a campus that [has been called] the armpit of campuses, so we figure that they need to know about Jesus Christ. It was pretty evident today that they did.” Cardboard signs depicting college binge drinking and two females cuddling in bed were held up to cover the signs and quad god preaching. Two female students were dressed in only bras and jeans, holding messages reading: “Love conquers all,” “No one asked for it,” and “God is love, not hate.” A gay pride flag was also raised in front of the quad god to block his view of the crowd. “I’m not religious at all. I don’t think it matters – religion or not,” freshman Matthew Fernalld said, “I just think anyone who says you deserve to be forcibly put into a submissive stance and been violated is kind of a sicko.” “I think Quad Gods get the conversation buzzing about spiritual issues on campus,” Director of WSU Chi Alpha, Jay Seidler said, “but I don’t think the feelings they bring about Jesus or the Gospel do anything for the message of Jesus.” “The way he approached it was wrong,” junior Josh Cunningham said. “He is definite-

NEWS Marijuana legalization: Proposed amendment brings heated debate Olivia Rutherford News Editor Rutherford.24@wright.edu
W
ith the topic of marijuana legalization hot on the table, Ohio is moving forward and will present an amendment to fully legalize the drug on Nov. 3. Issue 3, often referred to as the marijuana vote, can be summarized: “Grants a monopoly for the commercial production and sale of marijuana for recreational and medicinal purposes.” A majority yes is needed at the upcoming election for the amendment to pass which will add a Section 12 to Article XV of the Constitution of the State of Ohio. ResponsibleOhio, the group responsible for getting this amendment put together with all the signatures, legislation and support, is opting for a change in the election summary where it states that it will ‘grant a monopoly’ for the state. Secretary of State Jon Husted told Dayton Daily News, “The backers of State Issue 3 could have easily prevented Ohioans from calling their plan a marijuana monopoly by choosing to not write their plan as a marijuana monopoly.” The group claims that their
model follows a similar one from California that deems the amendment an oligopoly which is a state of limited competition, in which a market is shared by a small number of producers or sellers. State Issue 3 proposes that individuals aged 21 and up will be allowed to purchase government-issued marijuana from select retailers. Those needing the drug for medicinal purposes can be of any age but will need a prescription from a doctor. Marijuana could be available at 11,000 retail locations in the state where citizens can show their I.D. just like they do for buying cigarettes. As for the university level, Wright State will be allowed to make their own decision on where and if marijuana will be allowed on campus just as with last year’s e-cigarettes. “If you are in Ohio going to school, but from [another state], you can’t be taking your stash home with you and expecting that you wouldn’t be prosecuted at home,” said Jill Sink, a staff attorney at Wright State Legal Services. With the passing of this amendment, detailed regulations for the use will have to be abided by. This includes
not driving or operating machinery under the influence. Sink notes that traveling with the substance to another state or onto federal property (like Wright-Patterson AFB) could still be illegal. Businesses will also be allowed to develop their own policy regarding the use of the drug. Aside from retail purchases, citizens who are of-age will be allowed to grow up to four plants at their home with a state-issued grower’s license. This will permit the homegrown marijuana plants to only be smoked at home. Investors bought into the marijuana deal back before ResponsibleOhio started campaigning. They each put forth 2 million dollars towards buying the farmland for the drug. Since this Ohio amendment will grant medicinal and recreational use to the states of-age citizens, Ohio will become the nation’s most populous state to fully legalize marijuana as California only has legal medicinal use. “It’s an interesting fact but probably not one that should sway a voter one way or another,” Sink said.

Wright State theatre program ranked #1 in midwest Hasan Abdul-Karim Contributing Writer Abdul-Karim.2@wright.edu
W
right State’s department of Theatre, Dance and Motion Pictures was ranked the number one underrated theatre college in the Midwest by the Onstage Blog. “WSU has everything you could want in theatre,” claimed Onstage Blog. “Whether it’s a degree in acting, Design/Technology, Dance, Musical Theatre or even Motion Pictures, they have it.” Onstage, which is based in New Haven, CT, was founded by Chris Peterson in May 2014 with the intended purpose of covering theatre, no matter the size or location and has quickly gained a reputation for being a prominent theater review website.
“WSU has everything you could want in theatre.”
“One thing to point out is that a lot of people may not be aware of that in the industry and the theatre profession, our program is quite well known,” Pam Lavarnway said, assistant chair of the department of theatre, dance, and motion pictures. “Producers and theatre companies, when they see Wright State on someone’s resume, it means something; it means that this person is well trained, it means that this person has a good work ethic.” The theatre program has steadily gained traction within the theatre industry as a whole. This is due to Wright State’s habit of reaching out to many performing arts high schools throughout the www.theguardianonline.com
country as well as providing summer workshops for local high school students such as the musical theatre/acting preparatory program that is run by faculty member Jamie Curtis.
“The musical theatre program auditioned around 400 to 450 people this school year for 14 positions.”
“Another thing that really gets our program out there is the New York Showcase that we offer our students,” Joe Deer, head of the Musical Theatre Program, said. The showcase gives students an opportunity to market their craft to potential agents and industry regulars. The theatre program as a whole has a low acceptance rate. “The musical theatre program auditioned around 400 to 450 people this school year for 14 positions,” Deer said. This strict selection process is designed to gain students who have the upmost passion for the theater craft. “When I auditioned back in the spring of 1988, I remember it being very stressful for me. The Theatre program had a phenomenal reputation and I was determined to show well,” Brian Crowe, an acting alumnus, said. “The audition to enter the program consisted of the typical two contrasting monologues and sixteen bars of a song. What struck me about the audition, though, was the faculty was very welcoming and supportive and completely put me at ease,” said Chris Ensweiler, another acting alumnus September 16, 2015

unanimous decision was made by the Residential Community Association to provide the free streaming service Reslife for students. This adds more incentive for those who choose to live on campus. Similar to Netflix and Hulu, students who use Reslife Cinema will have access to over 350 movies and TV shows ranging from classics like ‘How The Grinch Stole Christmas,’ to modern-day favorites like ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron.’ However, unlike the mainstream streaming platforms, Reslife Cinema will not be of any additional cost to students living on campus. Users are also encouraged to give input on what shows and movies should be offered. “Reslife Cinema will set itself apart from other movie streaming options because 4

Page is unsure as to when exactly the service will be introduced to students, but the Residential Community Association is poised to launch as soon as possible. “The system is up and running, we just need to make the decision on the first set of movies and figure out how to navigate through the programs. We are working on advertising and getting excitement going,” Page said.

The buffet-style eatery starts serving brunch at 11 a.m. for $7.50 per person. At 2 p.m., the menu switches gears to a midday meal featuring lunchtime cuisine at 2 p.m. for $6.50 per person. Then, at 5 p.m. until 7 p.m., dinner is served for $8.50. The buffet will also feature an all-day waffle bar. Dan Bertsos, Director of Wright State’s Department of Residence Life and Housing, suggests that the new
buffet option is a great step forward for Wright State to better compare with other universities. “A lot of other schools offer buffet-style dining and students seem to be really receptive towards it. This is going to be a great addition to the services that we already offer,” Bertsos said. Hospitality Services served the buffet for the first time during the first weekend of the semester and they’re encouraged by the feedback they’ve received so far. “Students have had really great reactions and input and we’re doing all that we can to take their suggestions to make this service the best we can for our students,” said Nikki Interiano, Hospitality Services Central Campus Retail Services Director.

Cake, Hope & Love A
Sarah Christy Features Writer Christy.18@wright.edu
fter her husband forgot to get a birthday cake for their son’s party, Shannon Teague came up with the idea to create Cake, Hope & Love, a small local business on N. Fairfield to make special cakes for special individuals. “At first our business was just out of the house. We were buying ironing boards just to have enough counter space for all the cakes,” Teague said. Along with Co-Owner Connie McFarren, it is their goal to show that small businesses can make an impact on its community. “I hope Cake, Hope & Love never grows larger than two locations,” Teague said. “I love the connections I make with my customers and the
relationships I have within the community.” Cake, Hope & Love’s prices are affordable, even for the college student. Regular chocolate or vanilla cupcakes are $2 and their custom gourmet cupcakes are $3. Teague says her favorite flavors are “Jalepeno Hal,” “Buckeye” and “Banana, Bourbon and Brown Sugar.” Other flavors include “Salted Caramel Pumpkin,” “Peanut Butter Bomb” and “Kim’s Key Lime.” The flavors of the day change daily, so checking their social media or calling ahead could be beneficial if you’re looking for a specific flavor. Custom cakes are, on average, around $60-70. They are completely custom and one-of-a-kind cakes for any occasion. Along with their cheap prices, Cake, Hope and Love have consistent sales. Tues-
days are Two Dollar Tuesday, where all gourmet cupcakes are only $2 each instead of $3. Apart from that, their social media accounts alert customers to deals such as BOGO events and percentages off. On Sept. 19th -aka Dress Like a Pirate Day- if you show up at the store dressed as a pirate, you will get free cupcakes (the number of free cupcakes depends on how creative your costume is!). If you’re interested in keeping tabs with Cake, Hope & Love’s specials or cupcake flavors of the day, you can follow one of their many social media pages. Their two most popular pages are found on Instagram and Facebook; however, they also have Twitter, Pinterest and YouTube. All social media pages are under the same name: “cakehopeandlove.”

Breaking down fantasy football Volleyball: Raiders roll Lee Barker III Sports Editor Barker.94@wright.edu
T
he National Football League (NFL) kicked off week one of their regular season and millions of fans around the world are either excited or bitter about how their fantasy football teams performed. Fantasy football is a free weekly competition that allows participants to select imaginary teams among players in the NFL and score points according to the real-life performance of their players. When a league is formed the teams participate in a draft in which each player in the NFL can only be selected once. When a player is drafted they are on that team and can be traded to another team or released to the waiver wire of available players. In ESPN standard leagues there are 10 teams that consist of 16 players with nine starters and seven bench spots. Weekly starters for a team include one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, a defense/special teams unit, a field goal kicker
and a flex spot that could be a running back, wide receiver or tight end. The goal of fantasy football is to start a team each week that will score as many points as possible to win a matchup against another team in the league. The long term goal is to make the playoffs and eventually win the Super Bowl. Scoring is based on individual statistics based on a player’s performance. The included table shows the standard scoring format for ESPN. One doesn’t necessarily need to know much about football to be good at fantasy football. The majority of the game is based on luck because on any given Sunday any player could have a career game, flop or get injured. There are ‘experts’ that usually lead fantasy football players in the right direction but nobody can truly predict what is going to happen in a game. Fantasy football leagues are available on many websites and apps including: ESPN, Yahoo, Draft Kings and Fan Duel. Leagues can be customized and organized in many different ways based on the site.
ESPN Standard Fantasy Football Scoring Passing · TD Pass = 4pts · Every 25 passing yards = 1pts · 2pt Passing Conversion = 2pts · Interceptions Thrown = -2pts Rushing · TD Rush = 6pts · Every 10 rushing yards = 1pt · 2pt Rushing Conversion = 2pts Receiving · TD Reception = 6pts · Every 10 receiving yards = 1pt · 2pt Receiving Conversion = 2pts · Each Fumble Lost = -2 Kicking · FG Made (50+ yards) = 5pts · FG Made (40-49 yards) = 4pts · FG Made (0-39 yards) = 3pts · Each PAT Made = 1pt · FG Missed (any distance) = -1 Special Teams · Touchdown = 6pt Each Interception = 2pts · Each Fumble Recovered = 2pts · Blocked Punt, PAT or FG = 2pts · Each Safety = 2pts · Each Sack = 1pts

Fantasy football sleepers list Tre Hogue Sports Writer Hogue.14@wright.edu
Donte MoncriefColts WR
Star receiver T.Y. Hilton is sidelined for a few weeks with a knee injury so Andrew Luck will be looking for other playmakers and Moncrief is the perfect candidate. The second-year wideout had six catches for 46 yards and one TD in week one. The Colts play the Jets next and with Antonio Cromartie potentially sidelined and Darrelle Revis shadowing Andre Johnson, Moncrief could have a big night.
Chris Ivory-Jets RB
The Jets have Brandon Marshall as the de-facto face of the offense, but make no mistake: Ivory is the guy you’d want on your team this week. The Colts defense is porous and especially vulnerable against the run. Ivory had 91 yards on 20 carries and two touchdowns against a
decent Browns defense in week one. Look for a similar game against Indy.
Buffalo Bills Defense
Rex Ryan-led defenses pretty much own Tom Brady, the Bills next opponent. While New England may be on their ‘Revenge Tour,’ it’ll have to wait when they travel to Buffalo. Tom Brady has a career QBR of 50.0 against Ryan’s Jets on the road and 73.4 against everyone else.
John Brown-Cardinals WR
With Larry Fitzgerald dining with father time and Malcolm
Floyd nursing an injury, Carson Palmer is going to look Brown’s way a little more frequently than normal. In a deep league, Brown would be a great start as the Cardinals play a Bears team in week two that gave up three passing touchdowns.
Johnny ManzielBrowns QB
This is a “sleepers” list, right? We don’t know the current status of assumed starter Josh McCown, but Manziel looked decent against a good Jets secondary when he stepped in. If Manziel gets the start on Sunday, you should look to start him as well if your league has two quarterback spots.

fter losing to Akron on Friday Sept. 11 in the first game of the Holiday Inn Invitational, the Raiders volleyball team bounced back with three straight wins to close out and win the tournament. They defeated Saint Francis (PA) twice by sweeping them three sets to none in both matches and won in a rematch with Akron 3-1. “Friday we didn’t get off to an awesome start but I’m proud of how we finished,” junior middle blocker Haley Garr said. “I’m proud of how we came together and fought through the tough times.” The Raiders (8-3) already have more wins than any of their previous five seasons and are off to their best start since 2009 when they began the season 7-4 and finished with a 12-20 record. “After you go through a really tough season like the last few years we’ve been here. When you get in those moments you remember what it felt like before,” head coach Susan Clements said. “You don’t want to go down that path again.” The Raiders have now won two of three tournaments this year including the Holiday Inn Invitational and Holiday Inn Classic.

Our blocking, passing, everything.” The team displayed resilience over the weekend as they bounced back with three wins after losing two straight matches. “They know how to mentally turn it on,” Clements said. “(They) make sure that we’re reaching our goals and we don’t go too far down the season but just one match at a time.” The Raiders stat line was led by a group of sophomores for the tournament. Setter and defensive specialist, Maddie Lohmeier, collected 167 assists in the tournament bringing her season total to 417 (Leads team). Outside hitter Katie Klusman lead the team with 59 kills followed by middle blocker Megan Hopkins with 47. Defensive specialist Jessie Thorntoncollected 81 digs to bring her season total to 179 (Leads team). “They’re excited,” Clements said. “We talk about the goals we set and reaching them. They see their hard work paying off so they get more eager to get back in the gym and face another opponent.” Wright State will be back in action next weekend as the travel to Charleston, SC for The Citadel Tournament.

Though their positions are geared toward different tasks on the field, the Sedlocks’ road to Wright State were quite similar. They both played for Beavercreek High School and they both received coaching from WSU head coach Patrick Ferguson prior to their college careers. Natalie was coached by Ferguson on a club team prior to attending Wright State, which proved to later be a key motivating factor in her decision to become a Raider. “He implemented the style he plays at Wright State onto my club team. It was an easy transition knowing what position I play,” Natalie said. “I was able to help develop her (Natalie) in a way I thought would be most beneficial for her at the collegiate level, regardless of where she ended up playing,” Ferguson
said. “During club, I don’t really envision players ending up at Wright State. I just try to help them become the best players they can be.” The opportunity to play collegiate soccer with her sister was something Kelsey was not able to pass up when making her team commitment. “It was a dream come true for me. I always wanted to play on the same team with my sister and play at a college level,” Kelsey said. Natalie has picked up where she left off after her team high five goals last season at forward. With three goals over seven contests this season, she is on pace to break last season’s mark. It is clear Natalie is one of the Raiders best strikers of the ball, but she also has a positive influence on younger players, according to Ferguson. “I will miss her quiet determination, persistence and commitment to get better. She helps set a standard for the younger players,” Ferguson said. As a freshman midfielder Kelsey is already showing a

Hill led the way with two touchdowns. I love that guy, man. He runs so hard it’s almost like he’s running down a hill. Think about that one for a second. It was the Cowboys and Giants on Sunday night and I’ll tell you what, this right here was a football game. Tony Romo’s last second touchdown led Dallas to victory in dramatic fashion. If he were a part on a car, he’d definitely be the clutch. Wow. There was not one, but two games on Monday Night Football. It was like a buy one get one free at JC Penny. That’s a great store. The Falcons beat the Eagles in the Bird Bowl to start the night. That stadium was like a giant bird cage. In the second game, the 49ers outlasted Teddy Bridgewater and the Vikings. If I ever saw Teddy Bridgewater standing on a bridge holding a teddy bear while drinking water, I think my head would explode. I’ll tell ya what, man. I can’t wait for Week 2.

ask.fm/mandyadvice Dear Mandy, It’s week 3 at WSU, and I think one of my professors is super hot. I won’t say her name for confidentiality. I’m 21, old enough to date whoever I want. What do you think about a student dating a professor? -J.L Dear J.L., Let me begin by citing a little policy straight from the faculty handbook. “Consensual sexual relations between students and faculty with whom they have an evaluative relationship constitutes a conflict of interest. Faculty shall avoid such relationships or, if such a relationship does exist, make arrangements through their Department Chair/Dean to eliminate any conflict of interest or appearance of such conflict, to the extent possible.” I think it’s best, especially since there is no previous understanding between you and this professor, to let her go and date someone else.

HOROSCOPE September 15-21 Aries (Mar. 21Apr. 20) Stress could
start to take its toll on you, Aries. Don’t get too tense about your classes or assignments. Make sure to take time and indulge in your comforts, specifically in the form of mashed potatoes.
Taurus (Apr. 21May 21) This week
you’ll be faced with the opportunity to show your romantic side, Taurus. Turn up the passion while you turn up the heat in the kitchen by cooking this romantic essential: fondue. Fondue will be your ticket to romance this week. (E-mail us if this works for you.)
Gemini (May 22June 21) Money might
be tight this week, so make sure to keep your wallet closed. Steer clear of Fairfield Road where the flashy sale signs might tempt you into spending money you don’t have.
Cancer (June 22July 22) You may be
forced to make a compromise about something important in your life, such as watching “Mad Max” instead of the “House Hunters: International” you taped. Remember to take deep breaths and focus on putting other’s first for a change.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 21) That special some-
one could walk into your life at any moment. Keep your conversation light and humorous. Do not, under any circumstance, mention Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump or you will lose the love of your life forever.
Virgo (Aug. 22-Sep. 23) You will fall into a
large amount of money this week—and by large, we mean equal to a single meal in the Union Market. Use your pennies wisely.
Libra (Sep. 24-Oct. 23) If things get heated with one of your friends, the best solution is to leave before you say something you regret. Drink a Pumpkin Spice Latte to help you simmer down.
Scorpio (Oct. 24Nov.22) The planets
are moving and we think your temper is hotter than Mercury. Find a way to relax and separate yourself from this bad energy by making a trip to the shooting range or Dorothy Lane Market. Both will work.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec.22) Fight the
land-locked blues by filling up your tank, grabbing your driving slippers and hitting the open road. Keep your map in the backseat and don’t hesitate to pick up that hitchhiker—for they will be your guide.
Capricorn (Dec. 23-Jan. 20) Stop being a stick in the mud, Capricorn. The planets have spoken and you’re in prime condition to beat the 7x7 challenge at Steak n’ Shake. Prepare for some major IBS next week as you try to pass that steak burger.
Aquarius (Jan. 21Feb. 19) You might get
apathetic as the week goes on, but don’t worry—something big is just around the corner, in the form of a Happy Meal with a killer awesome toy. We’re talking furbies.
Pisces (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) We’re taking a good
look at those planetary movements and we suspect you’ll be doing a crazy amount of daydreaming in that math class this week. Channel those visions of Cedric Diggory and Anna Kendrick and bring yourself back to those quadratic equations. We promise, that A will be worth it.
