A guide to this semester’s Greek house shuffling: Pike and KA return to campus, DKE has been kicked off, and Fiji moves into DKE’s house

By PATRICK ZINCK News reporter --------------------

New and current fraternity chapters are moving into new houses and shaking things up on Greek row.

Phi Gamma Delta (Fiji) has now moved into Delta Kappa Epsilon (DKE)’s old house, following the suspension of DKE. DKE entered into a chapter culture change agreement in 2013 following a violation of university policy involving illegal drugs.

After further risk management and university policy violations, Vanderbilt suspended DKE’s recognition for a minimal period of two years.

“In addition to a violation of a policy, there was also a very clearly outlined agreement from both the university and the Interfraternity Council that outlined what the consequences would be for further violations,” said Kristin Torrey, the director of Greek Life at Vanderbilt. “[The suspension] is the implementation of a clearly outlined outcome for further violations of the chapter culture change agreement.”

The suspension of DKE proved to be quite convenient for Fiji.

Fiji had previously occupied the Kappa Alpha Order (KA) house while KA was on suspension. But, last spring, with KA’s impending return to campus, Fiji was already preparing to move out when DKE’s house became available — saving Fiji from being forced to operate without an exclusive use facility.

It is typical for the university to find alternative uses for Greek houses following the suspension of a chapter.

“What is now the Pi Phi house at one point was the Pike house, and then it was the Women’s Center for a semester,” Torrey said.

“At one point the Beta house was the bookstore. So there have been many different uses for Greek houses over the years.”

RETURN OF PI KAPPA ALPHA

Not all the fraternities are lucky enough to have exclusive use houses. This is true for one of Vanderbilt’s newest chapters, Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike).

Pike president Nigel Walker acknowledged the difficulties in establishing a chapter without owning a house.

“It is absolutely difficult [for] people inside the organization to commit to producing a fraternity without [owning] a house or any foreseeable future of a house,” Walker said.

Despite this hurdle, Pike has been quite successful in reestablishing their chapter, and thus far the fraternity has recruited seventy members.

“I am so proud of the way we have been able to commit to other areas such as philanthropy, community service, recruitment and everything that a fraternity really is about — which is brotherhood — without letting that distraction of not having a house pull away from our potential,” Walker said.

Currently for events and parties, Pike utilizes the 208 house

next to Beta.

When asked what they thought was propelling Pike’s recruiting success, both Torrey and Walker agreed diversity was a key part. “[Pike has] different pockets that stand across every school — arts and science, engineering, Blair, Peabody, as well as athletics and multicultural societies,” Walker said. “All of us came together and said ‘we want to commit to this one thing together, but we also want to celebrate our differences.’”

BRANDING A NEW KIND OF FRATERNITY

Walker has focused on distinguishing Pike from other fraternities at Vanderbilt by creating a community of “gentlemen.”

“I want to brand us as gentlemen,” Walker said. “That doesn’t just mean the way we treat young ladies on this campus, [but also] that means how we treat people outside of the Greek community no matter what your gender is, [and] no matter what your background is.”

According to Walker, creating a community that is inclusive is also essential for the success of the fraternity because all the brothers come from such a diverse background.

“If we weren’t inclusive, we couldn’t work together because we come from wildly different backgrounds,” Walker said.

Walker stated he intends to spread this mentality beyond just the Greek community, hoping to extend the same values to the Vanderbilt campus as a whole.

“We really do want to make Vanderbilt a better experience for everybody,” Walker stated.

GREEK MUSICAL CHAIRS Pike has returned and uses the 208 house for events and parties since they do not have a permanent house.

RETURN OF KAPPA ALPHA ORDER

Kappa Alpha Order (KA) is also in the process of reestablishing their Vanderbilt chapter. The return of Vanderbilt’s KA chapter follows their suspension several years ago.

“In the spring of 2012, KA and Vanderbilt jointly determined that, given multiple violations of KA and Vanderbilt risk management policies, that KA’s recognition was suspended. [KA had] a combination of many risk management violations, some of which tied to their annual spring formal,” Torrey said.

Samuel Mynhier, the Associate Director of Chapter Services at KA’s national headquarters, stated in an email that Vanderbilt’s KA chapter will be subjected to a far more intensive establishment process than in the past.

“This new chapter will undergo a rigorous chartering process, which includes many leadership education programs locally, regionally, and nationally,” Mynhier said.

Mynhier, when asked if he believed KA would be successful in reestablishing at Vanderbilt in light of the low recruitment numbers, stated that the KA charter process has a proven track record.

“Through our own proven successful process, coupled with the University’s support and involvement, we will have a successful chapter at Vanderbilt,” he said.

Music City Circuit Workouts

Three creative park workouts that will get you sweating without making you stray too far from campus CENTENNIAL

By Kayla Butsko, Sarah Friedman and Dallas Shatel, Life reporters

A short 15-minute walk from Vanderbilt’s campus, Centennial Park is the home to the iconic Parthenon and gorgeous Lake Watauga. The 1-mile walking loop is perfect for a blood-pumping circuit workout.

1. Start running at the quarter mile mark at the entrance to the

park near 25th Avenue and West End Avenue.

2. Do a 30-second bent-arm tree plank against the first tree on your right. This exercise is similar to a normal plank, but with feet planted firmly against the side of the tree. Return to the path and continue running.

3. When you arrive at the playground on your left side, do five pull-ups on the monkey bars. Return to the path and continue.

4. Run until you arrive at the Parthenon. Once you see it on your right hand side, run up and down the stairs five times and then continue on the path.

5. Continue on the path around the beautiful Lake Watauga.

Every time you pass a willow tree, stop and do five burpees.

6. You will come across a twisted tree on your left near the end of your loop. On the ground under the tree, do 10 push-ups and 30 sit-ups. Continue running on the loop until you end up back where you started.

Owen Bradley OWEN BRADLEY

Dedicated to country music producer William Owen Bradley, this small public park is just a short walk from the Peabody campus. While less well known than the other two parks, Owen Bradley is a great alternative if you’re looking to shake up your outdoor workouts.

1. If you’re starting from Commons, jog down 18th Avenue to the park

(approx. 0.7 mile) to warm up. If you’re coming from main campus, Division Street also leads right to Owen Bradley (approx. 0.5 mile).

2. Put your feet on the bench for a set of decline pushups. Do between two and five sets of 10 reps each, however much you are able to do.

3. Sprint around the outer circle for one minute, then walk for one minute until you complete the circuit.

4. Side jump across the inner circle for one minute, then rest for one minute.

5. Plank on the grass for one minute. Take a short break, then raise your right leg for 30 seconds, and then your left leg for 30 seconds.

6. Do step-ups onto the piano platform for 30 seconds, then rest for 30 seconds.

7. Set up for tricep dips on the park bench. Do three sets of 10 reps each.

8. Do static stretches in the grass and walk back the way you came to cool down.

FANNIE MAE DEES

Fannie Mae Dees (aka Dragon) Park is only a 15-minute walk from campus. A short .36 mile loop allows for shorter intervals of alternating running and intense strength-building exercises. After your workout, treat yourself to a healthy frozen yogurt from Sweet Cece’s in the nearby Hillsboro Village.

1. Begin your workout at the entrance to the park at the intersection of

24th Ave. and Blakemore Ave. 2. Run on the path until you arrive at the playground.

3. At the playground, do between one and three sets of five pull-ups on the monkey bars, depending on your upper body strength.

4. At the ledge of the playground, do three sets of ten tricep dips. To do a tricep dip, place your hands, palms down and fingers facing out, on the ledge and your feet approximately 2-3 feet away from the base of the ledge. Then, bend your elbows and knees, dipping your body downward and focusing on contracting your tricep muscles.

5. At the rock structure adjacent to the playground, run up and down the stairs five times.

6. Return to the path and complete the .36 mile loop at a tempo pace.

Your tempo pace should be “comfortably hard” — you shouldn’t be able to carry on a conversation, but you must be able to maintain your pace.

Neely’s ‘Metamorphoses’

VUT brings classical Roman myths to life in its first performance of the fall semester

By Leah Spann, Life reporter If you’re planning to sit in the front row this weekend at Vanderbilt University Theatre’s latest production, beware — you may be in the splash zone. VUT changes the configuration of Neely Auditorium for each production it puts on, and the stage has been transformed into a reflecting pool for the group’s newest play.

While VUT usually puts on one of Shakespeare’s plays as its first play of the year, the selection this semester is a little more classical: Mary Zimmerman’s “Metamorphoses,” an adaptation of the Roman mythological text by Ovid.

At various times throughout the play, the pool serves as a stormy sea, a laundry pool and a river through the Underworld. The performers use every inch of the stage, as gods appear and reappear in both the realm above, on a platform upstage, and around the pool itself in the world of mortals.

The lighting of the stage creates the mood of the tales and symbolizes the transition

between realms and states of being. For example, when Midas, senior Connor Lehr, ponders what gift he should request from Bacchus, the stage gradually brightens until everything he touches is gold.

Perhaps the best example of the marriage between the visual elements and the narrative occurs during the tale of Alcyone, first-year Katherine Ko, and Ceyx, junior Sam Lyons. Even the costuming plays into the symbolism of color: When the couple enters, they are starkly garbed in black and white, foreshadowing their later separation and Ceyx’s fatal voyage.

Throughout the tale, the relative stillness or turbulence of the pool mirrors the action on stage. At times, this was detrimental: During the naval battle, the combined cacophony of the music and the battle itself makes it almost impossible to hear the dialogue. But even this small impairment is quickly overcome by the poignant silence of the moments that follow, as the turbu-

“Metamorphoses” will be playing at Neely Auditorium this weekend, Oct. 8-10, starting at 8 PM. lence cedes to Alcyone’s anxious waiting.

As Alcyone counts the moments until her husband’s return, her sobbing rendering of the lines will leave you with chills.

Not all of the play hinges on tragedy, however. “Metamorphoses” provides a balance of humor and gravity, interspersing moments of laughter in the midst of the most heart-wrenching tales. Savvy viewers may note the subtle nods to other myths unexplored in dialogue, such as when Narcissus transforms into the flower of his namesake.

This enchanting one-and-a-half-hour long production will remind theatergoers

why creators continue to turn to “Metamorphoses” centuries after it was first performed. Ovid’s stories still have the power to move deeply, and VUT’s version will leave attendees both breathless with laughter and heavy at heart as they exit Neely.

Tickets can be reserved at the Sarratt Box Office and are free for undergraduates, $7 for graduate students and $10 for the general public. The play continues this weekend from Oct. 8-10 and starts at 8 p.m. each night in Neely Auditorium.

A safe haven The underground origins of Vanderbilt Lamba

By Allie Gross, Editor-in-chief INTRODUCTION Vanderbilt today would have been unrecognizable to Dean K.C. Potter in 1987. Rainbow flags hang from fraternity houses. The Office of LGBTQI life sits prominently in its own building off Alumni Lawn. The Lambda Drag Show turns 21 this week.

But none of that would have been possible without Dean Potter. The story of the Vanderbilt Lambda Association is a story of courage. It’s a story of a dean who put his career on the line out of a deeply felt concern for his students: students who dared to be themselves in the face of hatred from peers, and perhaps even a chancellor. These brave trailblazers paved the way so that Lambda could blossom into the open, proud organization it is today, facilitating change and promoting inclusivity on campus.

It’s also a story of a difficult, heartbreaking past that Vanderbilt has to confront. But understanding where the campus came from can only help us move forward toward goals of acceptance. We’ve come a long way since 1987 — but there’s still more to be done.

“There is an individual with a lot of influence and power within the administration who stood up and said that there were students that needed support, who needed funding, who needed help and decided that they could make a change,” current Lambda president Kait Spear said about K.C.’s legacy.

“That’s just so incredibly important, especially for our community,” Spear said. “Because sometimes we get the feedback, ‘oh they’re such a small population, why do they need so much funding? Why do they need so much space, why do they need their voices to be amplified so much?’ And for a lot of different reasons, that’s really toxic thinking, and it just means so much that someone with influence could step up and say ... we ought to help them out.”

This three-part series will trace the history of LGBTQI student experiences on campus and the history of Lambda, from its roots as an underground student organization to its present — and goals for the future. The first chapter starts with the establishment of Lambda.

PART I

In the spring of 1987, three students sat down for lunch with the Dean of Residential and Judicial Affairs, K.C. Potter. The dean had invited them to lunch because they had jointly authored an opinion column in the Hustler, taking issue with a short story in a student magazine (the now-extinct Versus) that said to leave Centennial Park at night before the “faggots” came out. Only one of the three men was willing to sign his name.

K.C. had been distraught for a while at this point, following the tragic death of a student several years earlier. The student — who K.C. knew to be gay — had committed suicide, jumping out of Tower 3. K.C. can remember discovering his body after students ran to him for help.

“I went up there in his room, and here’s all these medications from psychiatrists. And that tells me that they were trying to change him,” K.C. said. “Then these girls came up to me afterwards, crying, because he’d asked them for a date. He was trying to change himself.”

“So if there was any courage exhibited, it was because I was in a hell with this, to go after this issue,” K.C. said. “That was the trigger that did it.” He wondered what he could have done to save that student.

Upon reading the three men’s op-ed, K.C. seized the opportunity to take action, asking his boss, Dean of Students Johan Madson, for permission to get in touch with the writers.

While at first cautious that the university wasn’t ready, Madson ultimately gave K.C. the go-ahead.

The next semester, K.C. helped the students secure funding to run an ad in the Hustler. It advertised: “GAY, LESBIAN AND BISEXUAL STUDENTS NOW FORMING SOCIAL/SUPPORT GROUP;” “Confidentiality is assured.”

With that, the Vanderbilt Lambda Association was born.

Students interested in attending the first meeting had to write a note to the Station B post office box listed in the ad. The Lambda founders would then contact them, pick them up and bring them to the secret meeting location.

“Maybe it was a paranoia, but we were worried about safety and we were worried about confidentiality,” said Dan Caul (‘88), an anonymous author of the op-ed and Lambda founder. “We thought if we said it was at 7 p.m. in the following room in Sarratt, we didn’t know how many people would show up, because we didn’t know if people were willing to be out. … We wanted people to feel comfortable that they could come to a place without feeling worried about other people knowing

why they were there.”

Maybe it wasn’t a paranoia. Vanderbilt in the late ’80s and early ’90s, at the time of Lambda’s founding, was a very different place — and a very hostile place to be gay. This was a pre-Will and Grace America (that’s how many alumni describe the times), and this was the height of the AIDS crisis. Most people on campus were southern, conservative Reagan supporters.

The Greek scene was dominant and ubiquitous, and it went without saying that gays were not welcome. Paul Feeney (‘95) remembers choosing to deactivate from AEPi after coming out.

“I remember going to the fraternity, and going in, and I mean you might’ve thought I was going in to confess to a murder,” Paul said. “I went in and I was sitting there with the chapter president with the door closed, and I wrote it on a piece of paper and I handed it to him.”

“The funny part of this whole story is, he has since come out many years later,” Paul said. He noted that several brothers were supportive, trying to get him to stay.

Being gay just wasn’t something that was talked about. Dan didn’t find out that 2/3 of his suitemates in McTyiere were also gay until years after they’d graduated. The secrecy was weird for Margaret Coble (‘89), who had been out before college. “I had come to Vanderbilt already out of the closet in high school, and then I basically had to go back into the closet at Vanderbilt because it was so conservative there,” she said. She found a safe space in Lambda and McGill Hall, which was even

then a “bastion of liberalism within the greater context of Vanderbilt” packed with artists and philosophy majors.

It wasn’t just hush-hush, though — there was a real threat for the few students who were out at that point. In less than a week after its publication, the lone Hustler op-ed author who signed his name “had the misfortune to have an answering machine.”

“I received in the course of six days, 37 obscene, menacing, threatening phone calls,” he later told a university committee. “I had four death threats. I had women and men calling me everything from the standard faggot, fairy pussy to some of the more pungent ones.”

David VanDalfsen (‘92) remembers a football player shoving him around in his dorm bathroom because he was gay. He wrote a letter to K.C., the football coach and the provost about the incident. K.C., as dean of judicial affairs, was in charge of determining a punishment.

“The punishment he arranged was we had lunch at the University Club, and after lunch we went to K.C. Potter’s office,” David said.

“Then he said he had a few things to do in the front of the office, so he left us in the room and said, why don’t you boys talk to each other for a little while alone? I thought it was really the most brilliant way to deal with it — confronting the person who did that with the human impact of what he had done.”

There was a legitimate fear that people would try to infiltrate the Lambda meetings and out the organization’s members.

Ad in the Vanderbilt Hustler, Sept. 15 1987.

VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY SPECIAL COLLECTIONS

About 15 people showed up to the first meeting at the apartment of a pair of lesbian grad students. When they graduated, the group moved to the Divinity School.

“I suggested that a more anonymous place on the campus would be my home, which at that time was in Building B,” K.C. said. That building now houses the Project Safe Center.

K.C. lived on the second floor and used the main floor for meetings and receptions — and then, the meetings for Lambda.

K.C. said the atmosphere was initially “uptight” because of all the secrecy — but it didn’t take long for students to start opening up. Gradually, gay students (and some straight allies) learned about the Thursday night, 8 p.m. Lambda meetings at K.C.’s house by word of mouth, and they began to fill up and grow to be more comfortable.

“Much of it was social,” K.C. said. “The kids couldn’t stop talking about gay issues, because this is their first opportunity to talk about gay issues.”

“Some of it was just surprising. People I knew walked into the meeting and it was like, oh shit, I had no idea you were gay!” Dan laughed. “We had a lot of laughs about that.”

Lambda brought in speakers — some members of a gay commune a few towns away and a man from San Francisco who researched the genetics of homosexuality. When the group wanted to become a registered student org to receive AcFee money, they couldn’t get it without a list of members, but most of Lambda’s members weren’t out. K.C. signed his own

name to represent each of those students who weren’t comfortable.

The members were of varying age, gender, race — undergrads and graduate students, faculty, staff — and were all at different points in their journeys of coming out, sharing in each other’s challenges and in each other’s victories. A student from Jackson, Mississippi, went home for the express purpose of coming out to his parents.

“No matter what happens, we’ll be here for you,” the Lambda members told him (his mother’s reaction when he sat his parents down to deliver the news: “What’s new?”).

There was much discussion over the organization’s name. They settled on Lambda — a name affiliated with the national gay community, but more comfortable, for some, than dealing with which letters should or shouldn’t be included.

“We felt very safe there. It was a place we could go without raising any questions,” Dan said. “It was a huge help to us that Dean Potter reached out, and just a very courageous move on his part to support us and to openly support the founding of the group.”

After a while, students stopped knocking and just walked into the kitchen.

“People would sneak out of the dorm. You’d walk and keep your hood up and walk over to K.C.’s house and slip in the side door,” Paul said. “You didn’t want to be seen.”

Once you entered, though, everyone relaxed. “It was a wonderful and supportive environment, and everyone was joking around,” Paul said. “K.C. would always just kinda sit there in his arm chair, drinking Maker’s Mark and smirking, watching the whole thing.”

For many, this was the first time they were around other gay people. Members often dated one another. David said it was the first time he could imagine himself leading a gay life.

“I certainly felt that we were a little bit on the vanguard,” he said. “We were on the cutting edge of where things were going. I knew in my heart that homosexuality would become more accepted. I found it exciting being a part of that.” Alumni say it was the best part of the week.

But outside of the meetings was still a different world. “On the sidewalks on campus, I would walk by people who I knew from K.C.’s, but we wouldn’t even say hi,” David said.

“It changed everything to have an advocate within the administration,” Dan said. “That was completely unexpected, and it completely changed everything in terms of creating a space for us as an organization and making us feel comfortable as LGBT students.”

As the Dean of Residential and Judicial Affairs, K.C. was known as the discipline guy.

“When I answered the door sometimes, there would be a knock and it would be a new person, a freshman. He would see me and freak, because I was the disciplinary dean and he thought he was in the wrong place,” K.C. laughed. “And I would say, you’re in the right place, come on in.”

Associate Dean Steve Caldwell said K.C.’s reputation as the well-respected disciplinary dean contributed to making Lambda a secure space for students, grad students, faculty and staff.

VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY SPECIAL COLLECTIONS

“It was a safe haven, because you have someone with the prestige and trust and integrity of K.C. anchoring that location. People felt safe when they got there,” Caldwell said.

“His support, his hosting all of it was so important,” agreed Lambda alum Chris Freeman (PhD ‘95). “He took a lot of professional risk to do that...It was a very homophobic environment, and there was nobody out of the closet.”

Senior Director of Residential Life Randy Tarkington, who used to go to the meetings, said that while K.C. is a “historic figure,” the importance of the student founders of the group can’t be understated.

“It wouldn’t have happened without [K.C.] and all that he offered, but it can’t be lost also that these very brave students from that time are the ones that drove that, who were the trailblazers who said we need this and we need a space, and we need to come together as a group and to make the experience better for all students who are here,” Tarkington said.

For K.C., his main concern was helping students.

“We decided that we would begin a group to help students deal with this on campus,” K.C. said. “That was our initial purpose. We didn’t set out at that point to change university policy, although I’d hoped that at some time the university would wake up.”

The university would start to wake up, as Lambda continued to grow and evolve. What mattered initially was that students had a safe space, a space to be themselves and meet other people like them on a campus that was not accepting of them.

“If you went through day to day life and you felt some level of discrimination or felt like you couldn’t be yourself and you had to hide who you were, to a large extent this provided at least once a week you could come to a place where it was safe,” Tarkington said. “People who spoke the language, who understood, who were going through the same thing.”

QUOTE OF THE DAY

opinion Vanderbilt, the trans tide has arrived

“We [as seniors] rest in this space between having our futures settled and failing to live up to the unrealistic standards Vanderbilt has helped us set for ourselves.”

CAYLYN PERRY, SENIOR

Institutional change for trans and gender-nonconforming students is both necessary and timely

SHAWN REILLY is a junior in the College of Arts and Science. They can be reached at shawn.e.reilly@ vanderbilt.edu.

Two years ago Vanderbilt Student Government passed a resolution that supported the implementation of gender inclusive bathrooms on campus.

Last year, VSG, the Multicultural Leadership Council and the McGill Hall Council all unanimously passed a resolution that supports the implementation of gender inclusive housing on campus. Our beloved university, with the push from student leaders, has taken some steps to support trans people on this campus, taking the realities of our changing nation and society into stride.

The country is rapidly changing, and the tide is coming. Caitlyn Jenner’s coming out has created an accessible way for most everyone to have conversations around transness. The popularity of Laverne Cox as a star of “Orange Is The New Black” has fueled some mainstream acceptance of transgender folks. Janet Mock’s bestseller “Redefining Realness” has allowed for teachers to bring the conversation into the classroom. Our country is ready and actively having this conversation. It’s time for Vanderbilt to do the same.

The changes and dialogues that have occurred in the last two years have prepped our Vanderbilt community to take real steps in recognizing, supporting and addressing the needs of transgender students on our campus. While the implementation of gender inclusive bathrooms on campus has been a huge step in the right direction for many students, we cannot allow ourselves to become complacent and to ignore the holistic and very real needs of transgender students.

Real institutional change is necessary. In order for Vanderbilt to function as a truly inclusive, supportive and ultimately safe community for all, we need to push for change that elevates and empowers students who have been historically marginalized both within and outside our community. I’ll speak for myself as a transgender student on campus in saying that a lot of my needs are not met here. I cannot function day to day without being reminded of how invisible my transgender

While the implementation of gender inclusive bathrooms on campus has been a huge step in the right direction for many students, we cannot allow ourselves to become complacent and to ignore the holistic and very real needs of transgender students.

identity is to this institution. The lack of gender inclusive bathrooms in every building, the binary gender options on applications and Anchor Link forms, the well-intentioned but oftentimes untrained or unaware professors, the lack of a bias incident reporting mechanism and so many other daily realities are reminders of how little Vanderbilt represents an inclusive community for all.

College institutions seldom have the chance to be real leaders in creating a more just society

The Vanderbilt Hustler Opinion page aims to stimulate discussion in the Vanderbilt community. In that spirit, columnists, guest columnists and authors of letters to the editor are expected to provide logical argument to back their views. Unreasonable arguments, arguments in bad faith or arguments in vain between columnists have no place in The Hustler and will not be published. The Hustler welcomes reader viewpoints and offers three methods of expression: letters to the editor, guest columns and feedback on vanderbilthustler.com.

for everyone. But Vanderbilt does, and the time is now. The trans tide isn’t just coming — it is here.

Transgender people have been fighting for visibility, understanding, and in many cases, the right to live since the beginning of time. Now, the United States finds herself in the throes of this dialogue.

Vanderbilt has been a contributing factor in these conversations. It is time to move from conversation to action.

The time is now. We need to take steps to show that we love our transgender students on this campus. I know we do. Many of us just don’t know how to support the trans community. Here’s your chance.

Let’s finally launch that gender inclusive housing pilot program on campus. There are many places in which it makes sense to launch this, including McGill, Warren and Moore, and Towers. VSG and MLC’s unanimous approval of the bill shows that students are behind it. Let’s train faculty and staff and VUPD on the importance of gender and sexuality on a college campus and the realities of pronouns in today’s world. Let’s put preferred names and pronouns on academic and housing rosters. How rockin’ would it be to save many transgender students awkward conversations with RAs and professors around pronouns? How awesome will it be for our employees to know what pronouns to use without enacting verbal violence on another human? Let’s have trans-related health needs covered under Vanderbilt health insurance.

Let’s do all the things.

With National Coming Out Day approaching, let us be intentional in how we support and show love to our transgender students on campus. Let us create an environment where living authentically is safe, supported and encouraged. We cannot do that without serious and holistic institutional changes. Let us begin making steps to a truly unified student body and begin to create the One Vanderbilt that I looked forward to so much when I chose our Commodore community.

Fantastic Four: senior year edition

Job searches and impending graduation create a fascinating cast of characters out of our friends Yesterday, they sent a text saying they are applying to law school; tomorrow they will call and exclaim that they just CAYLYN PERRY got an interview with Google; and the only thought running through your mind is ‘I thought you were pre-med.’

is a senior in the College of Arts and Science. She can be reached at caylyn. perry@vanderbilt. edu.

t’s that time of year again, when the padfolios come out and the campus looks like a Hugo Boss ad. For the underclassmen, this season flies under the radar. For seniors applying to jobs, graduate schools or fellowships (or all three — these are Vanderbilt students we’re talking about), this part of the semester could be equated to purgatory. We rest in this space between having our futures settled and failing to live up to the unrealistic standards Vanderbilt has helped us set for ourselves. There are the lucky few who accepted their summer offers, or have a resume fit for George Soros and know the graduate program of their choice is only an acceptance letter away. There are also those who know that, at the end of the day, their parents will pull a few strings and get them into Goldman. But for the rest of us, there exists an endless to-do list where homework has fallen to the bottom and personal statements have risen to the top.

The personality changes are even more telling of this time of year than the suits. Suddenly, our friends turn cold or slip into senior insanity, and we see the rise of new friends we did not even know existed until the postgrad struggle entered their lives. Meet your four types of friends: The “Consulting/Investment Banking Frenzy” friend, the “Ignorance is Bliss” friend, the “Everything Will Be Okay” friend, and, finally, the “Doing Too Much” friend.

“Consulting/Investment Banking Frenzy” Friend: This friend hit the ground running before classes started.

They were networking with Lazard alumni over the summer, got invited to the McKinsey dinner, and have an internal reference at every firm on Vault’s lists. These friends usually turn distant when interview decisions go up at midnight on Doreways and see everything that

moves as competition. Classes become a secondary priority, and they dedicate their entire existence to knowing market trends and “Case in Point.” Eventually, when the process is over and they walk away with an offer, they will resurface and everything will be normal again. But until then, they treat their job application process as if this is a black ops mission.

“Ignorance is Bliss” Friend: We all have the friend who, at this point, has shut down. They have yet to send in an application, neither for job nor grad school, and are currently ambivalent. They know they will end up in a job, but how they will get there is unclear to them and everyone around them. By graduation they will have stumbled into a job, or Mommy and Daddy will swoop in to stop them in mid-free fall. You will find them propped up in the office of their parents’ friend (who just

so happens to be the head of IBM).

“Everything Will Be Okay” Friend: Vanderbilt students are exceptional, but some are even more so. There is always the friend that encourages everyone because they themselves need no encouragement. They casually decided to apply to graduate school at the last second, flipped through the GRE for a week and managed to get a 160+. They are at Vanderbilt on a named scholarship (Cornelius Vanderbilt/Chancellor’s/Ingram), and their GPA is a 3.9. When you talk to this friend, you want to hate them. No matter how much encouragement they give you, you know their situation is 100x different and that they will get whatever they want.

“Doing Too Much” Friend: Then there is the friend that is all over the place. Yesterday, they sent a text saying they are applying to law school; tomorrow they will call and exclaim that they just got an interview with Google; and the only thought running through your mind is “I thought you were pre-med.” This friend is “covering their bases” and “building back up plans.” To them these are the right things to say. To you these phrases basically mean that they are either (a) confused about what they want, or (b) their goals and their reality are not aligning.

They probably have not slept for more than four hours in the last two weeks, and every time you see them they are on the verge of yet another mental breakdown.

And while these friends will shed their senior skin soon, the beginning of the academic year is a test of friendship. No matter how stressed out you become, remember that your friends were there before Bain rejected you and will be there after Vanderbilt Law School accepts you. Watch your words, and your actions, and make sure you do not lose your friendships in this process.

THE “EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY” FRIEND

sports SEC POWER RANKINGS: WEEK 5 Each week, I rank the teams in the SEC 1-14. This week, we happily welcome a new team atop the power rankings for the foreseeable future, Leonard Fournette’s baby bald head secrets are revealed, and we get a nice Aaron Hernandez reference.

By BEN WEINRIB Sports editor --------------------

1. No. 11 Florida (5-0, 3-0 SEC) If nothing else, I’m a man of my word. Last week, I wrote the following about Florida: “If Florida upsets Ole Miss, I swear the Gators go to the top of the power rankings. I’m fully prepared and excited for them to pull a Mizzou and trip their way into the SEC East title as a terrible team.” Welcome to the top of the SEC power rankings indefinitely! Go Gata!

2. No. 7 LSU (4-0, 2-0) In case you were wondering how Leonard Fournette keeps his head so perfectly bald, he has his personal barber from his home town of New Orleans drive up over an hour to Baton Rouge each Thursday. Yep, we’re just running out of things to say about Fournette because he’s just that good.

3. No. 8 Alabama (4-1, 1-1) The Crimson Tide removed any doubt that they’re a top-10 team by thumping No. 8 Georgia in Athens 38-10. However, they’ve already lost a game, and since you can’t argue math they go behind the far superior, undefeated Florida Gators!

4. No. 9 Texas A&M (5-0, 2-0) We keep waiting for A&M to lose, but they’ve taken down ranked Arizona State and Mississippi State now. With a game at home against Alabama and a visit to Ole Miss in the next two games, we’ll find out if they’re for real or if we can ignore them until they likely beat up another Big 12 team in a bowl game.

5. No. 14 Ole Miss (4-1, 2-1) There’s no shame in losing to Florida in the Swamp. Tim Tebow, Brandon Spikes and Aaron Hernandez only left the Gators’ program five years ago.

6. No. 19 Georgia (4-1, 2-1) The Bulldogs’ schedule is fairly easy from here on out with a game against Florida as the hardest one left. Assuming they don’t blow that one, they stand a great chance to win the SEC East and get blown out again by Alabama, this time in the Georgia Dome.

Vanderbilt football finds its playmaker in record-setting sophomore receiver

By BEN WEINRIB Sports editor --------------------

Last season, head coach Derek Mason said he wanted to give Trent Sherfield the ball, but the freshman receiver only had three carries and one catch for 49 total yards in seven games. Still, coaches and players alike had nothing but the highest praise for Sherfield going into this season.

It only took him three games to show everyone else why.

In the Commodores’ first win of the season, Sherfield set a Vanderbilt record with 240 receiving yards, helping launch him to second in the SEC with 465 receiving yards and tops in the conference with 34 receptions.

This breakout for Sherfield is not unexpected; the Danville, Illinois native was one of three four-star recruits in the Commodores’ recruiting class last season. But with his lack of experience at wide receiver, a slow start was also the most likely scenario.

As a quarterback in high school, Sherfield’s coaches always knew that he would be a playmaker. During his sophomore season when he wasn’t starting, his head coach B.J. Luke would have him play wide receiver for end-arounds, sweeps and trick plays.

“We wanted to get him on the field,” Luke said. “We had a quarterback that was AllState, and we didn’t want Trent to sit on the sideline. Trent’s the kind of kid you want to get on the field, and we got him on the field early.”

Sherfield would go on to start his final two seasons as a dual-threat quarterback, amassing 4,790 yards of offense and 64 touchdowns along with six interceptions as a defensive back. Coaches even entrusted him to take over at quarterback as a ninth grader in the conference championship game when the starting quarterback went down.

When then-Vanderbilt head coach James Franklin originally recruited Sherfield during his junior year of high school, the coaching staff saw him as a defensive back.

But after a quick conversation with Luke, Franklin instead envisioned the playmaker on the offensive side.

But once Franklin bolted for Penn State, Sherfield’s recruitment was in question for an ever-so-brief time as other recruits fled.

Fellow four-star recruits K.J. Carta-Samuels,

Mikale Wilbon and Kyle Gibson had already decommitted, but after meeting Derek Mason, Sherfield was one of the few high recruits to stay committed to the program.

“I definitely wanted to stay solid,” Sherfield said. “I like Coach Mason a lot; I looked him up when he was at Stanford, I knew he was a great guy, and any coach coming from a winning program like Stanford, you definitely can trust in him.”

Mason also saw Sherfield as someone who could play on both sides of the ball but left the decision up to him. One of his core beliefs is that if you put players where they want to play, they will give you the most.

There were certainly some struggles Sherfield’s freshman season. Although there were flashes of brilliance, he often couldn’t get onto the field because he wasn’t adjusted to his new position at the SEC’s speed, especially with the turmoil at quarterback.

“It was a growth year,” Sherfield said.

“I came in as a wide receiver, didn’t really know too much at the position, and I can really put a lot of blame on me just from not really knowing the plays as much and not really studying the plays. It was really a growth year, and I’m thankful for that year because I got on the field a little bit, and I’m glad I got that little bit of experience.”

But after his second off-season, the

change was evident. Mason said he would see Sherfield working for an hour or hour and a half by himself after practice just to perfect his splits, alignments and route running.

“He made himself into the player he is,” Mason said. “He’s still got a long way to go, but his work ethic is really much like the guy that came before him: J-Matt. His work ethic is really unbelievable.”

Referencing Jordan Matthews, the program’s all-time leader in receiving yards, receptions and receiving touchdowns, is clearly high praise and almost an unreachable goal. But it’s also clearly a sign of the highest respect.

That respect has transformed into results with new offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig, who has been more flexible in creating his offense to match his players’ strengths.

Finally, Sherfield has truly been able to take off.

It’s been a long time coming, although certainly not unexpected, especially among those who have known him the longest.

“He’s made a lot of game-changing plays,” Luke said. “He’s a kid who had the ball in his hands all the time for us. He’s a hard worker in the off-season to make himself better, and he’s starting to reap those rewards.”

SEC POWER RANKINGS: WEEK 5 7. Mississippi State (3-2, 1-2) I go back and forth on this, but I think that (aside from the Commodores and Volunteers), no SEC coach looks more like his mascot than Dan Mullen looks like a bulldog. Arkansas’ Bret Bielema is neck-and-neck in perhaps the most fascinating race in the conference.

8. Missouri (4-1, 1-1) Think Gary Pinkel felt better about making Maty Mauk’s suspension indefinite when freshman and top-200 recruit Drew Lock went 21-for-28 with two interceptions and no interceptions in a 24-10 win over South Carolina? I’m as sure about that as I am that that last sentence was far too long.

9. Kentucky (4-1, 2-1) What does it say about the state of the SEC that Kentucky is up to ninth in the power rankings? It says that Vandy actually has a shot at cracking the top ten!

10. Arkansas (2-3, 1-1 Did you know that there are only two SEC quarterbacks who have had a QBR above 50.0 (average) in all five games? The first one is easy and a Heisman contender (Mississippi State’s Dak Prescott), but the other one is Arkansas’ Brandon Allen.

That’s about all they’ve got going for them this season.

Vanderbilt men’s basketball’s sophomore class looks to make good on preseason expectations

By ROBBIE WEINSTEIN Sports reporter --------------------

The best thing about freshmen is they become sophomores.

For Vanderbilt men’s basketball, this expression holds quite a bit of relevance.

Coming off a season in which multiple freshmen played important roles, now the team will rely on four sophomores to provide the extra production needed to compete for an NCAA Tournament berth.

“The biggest improvements you see in general are guys that go from their freshman to sophomore year,” said Kevin Stallings, Commodores head coach. “I expect all those guys who were freshmen a year ago to take a pretty significant step forward.”

Stallings speaks, of course, of secondyear players Wade Baldwin IV, Riley LaChance, Matthew Fisher-Davis and Jeff Roberson. All four played more than 19 minutes per game a year ago, and all four are looking to build upon their successful first seasons.

“I’ve talked to them a lot about sacrifice, because we’ve got a lot of guys who are good players.” Stallings said. “A year ago, those freshmen knew they were going to play; we’ve got some guys this year who

aren’t going to play as much, and how they’re able to handle that will go a long way toward determining what kind of success we have.”

For the sophomore class, much of that sacrifice may come in the form of position changes rather than playing time. Coaches suggest shooting guard LaChance will play more point guard than last season, while small forward Roberson similarly seems poised to spend additional time at power forward.

“We’ve got some different dynamics this year,” LaChance said. “I want to contribute however I can; whether that’s in the same way as last year or different from last year, that’s yet to be told.”

Due to the nature of the position, playing point guard requires a number of skills that aren’t as necessary for shooting guards, and the transition often takes time. All eyes will be on LaChance, a point guard in high school and AAU, whenever Baldwin heads to the bench.

“You’ve got to improve ball handling and learn plays at a different spot,” LaChance said. “I think our coaches do a good job of having everybody know where to go and what to do, so I think I’ll be good from that standpoint.”

Baldwin himself needed time to adjust to

ZIYI LIU / THE VANDERBILT HUSTLER

Sophomores Riley LaChance (left) and Wade Baldwin IV look to improve on impressive freshman seasons. playing point guard at the college level last season, but ended the year as one of the more dynamic lead guards in the SEC. He is one of two SEC players to average 9 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game last season along with Texas A&M’s Alex Caruso.

Baldwin sees his improved leadership as a way to bolster his play as a floor general even more.

“I’ve improved on being a better leader and a spokesman of the team,” Baldwin said. “If we take each game at a time, everything will fall in place.”

Even with the minor positional changes, Stallings knows what to expect from his four sophomores. The lack of question marks makes planning easier, with individual players understanding their respective roles.

“You’re not guessing as much,” Stallings said. “You can do things with more certainty because I know I’ve got seven or eight guys who can do it. We’re far, far ahead of where we were a year ago at this time, and I think that’s reflected in where we’re ranked and where we’re picked to finish.”

11. Auburn (3-2, 0-2) Peyton Barber scored all five touchdowns for Auburn last week, picking up 147 yards on 28 carries.

As impressive as that sounds, that 5.25 yards per carry would be 12th in the SEC. There are just too many good backs in this conference.

12. Vanderbilt (2-3, 0-2) How is it that Vanderbilt plays better against ranked teams like Georgia and Ole Miss than they do against mediocre Conference USA teams like Western Kentucky and MTSU? I’m not sure if this should make us excited to play weak SEC teams like South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri or terrified.

13. Tennessee (2-3, 0-2) The good news for Vols fans is that they didn’t cough up another fourth quarter lead in embarrassing fashion. This time they just cut to the trailed for the final 24 minutes at home to Arkansas.

14. South Carolina (2-3, 0-3) I’m slowly coming to grips with the fact that Steve Spurrier won’t be with us for very much longer, which is incredibly sad.

With all the rhetoric that coaches spew these days, there’s nothing more refreshing than a Spurrier interview. Every week I pray that the Gamecocks pull off an upset to extend Spurrier’s career an extra season, but at this point it’s just blind hope.
