Women’s Center promotes awareness of intimate partner violence Cortney Veneman Editorial Intern Veneman.3@wright.edu The Wright State Women’s Center is teaming up to promote various events this October to encourage awareness of the standing issues of intimate partner violence as well as support for the LGBT community. Throughout October, the Women’s Center has been posting information on their Twitter and Facebook regarding informative articles about intimate partner violence including statistics, definitions in relation to the topic, information for advocacy and support, as well as personal narratives. The center also encourages students and faculty to donate any phones they are not using, so that the center may donate them to shelters and organizations. The pur-
pose of this would be to aid victims and survivors of various forms of abuse in that they may use them to dial 911 in case of emergency. People can donate their cellphones up until Oct. 31 in boxes provided currently in the Women’s Center, both the Activity Affairs and LGBT Affairs Offices, the Counseling and Wellness Center and at Rike Physician’s office. “There are a lot of events that are not necessarily specific to intimate partner violence that are also happening throughout October,” said Director of the Women’s Center, Dr. Nicole Carter, “such as National Coming Out Week, so we’re also doing a social media campaign in collaboration with LGBT affairs to s upport those that are coming out, those that have come out, and those who decide not to.”
The Women’s Center is also hosting an event where Hope Jennings, WSU English Professor will be speaking out about trauma and healing Oct. 25 at 2:00 P.M in the
Millet Atrium, which will be a new lecture series every October. For more information on upcoming events visit the Women’s Center calendar
homepage or visit their office at 147 Millet Hall. Their hours are from Monday to Friday 8:30 A.M till 5 P.M.

Tunnel of Oppression brings variety of visitors for another successful year Students address discrimination through multi-sensory experience
Kasi Ferguson ferguson.137@wright.edu Features Writer Numerous Wright State organizations came together for another year to organize the annual Tunnel of Oppression, a unique way of communicating to visitors various forms of discrimination. The event was set up in the Student Union Atrium and took place from October 17th to the 20th. Taylr Ucker-Lauderman, instructor in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies at the university, includes attending the tunnel as part of her curriculum and gave her input on the event. “I think the Tunnel of Oppression is a great way for students to get a glimpse into what oppression can look like and the many different ways that it functions,” said Ucker-Lauderman. “The tunnel is very intersectional in that it brings in a broad range of systems of oppression rather than focusing only on one or two.” The forms of discrimination addressed include homophobia, mental health stigmas, racism, classism and many more. It is described as a multi-sensory experience, and it involves several kinds of art and means of communicating information. Both historical
and present events or issues are referenced. “Some messages are sent by drawings, others by video, others simply by single words shown on a poster, and I think together this is very powerful,” said Ucker-Lauderman. The only possible shortcoming of this means of expression is that, as it is an exhibit without anyone to stand by and further express concepts that viewers may be confused about, some may leave the tunnel without completely understanding certain problems. However, Ucker-Lauderman was clear that she believes there’s no way around it, and she doesn’t regard it as a flaw. In real life, individuals are often left to find their own means of understanding a problem they’ve seen without outside instruction. Ucker-Lauderman went on to explain her purpose in assigning participation in the tunnel to her classes. “Each student learns in a different manner. I think the tunnel provides another dimension to what I teach inside the classroom, which could provide a ‘lightbulb moment’ for many students. Additionally, when students hear material from sources other than just their instructor or textbook, it adds an additional layer of credibil-

How to treat acne as an adult Leah Kelley Editor-in-Chief Kelley.90@wright.edu It’s time to start treating your skin like a friend. As you grow out of teenage-hood and you move into your adult years, it can be alarming when you look in the mirror and the acne has still not gone away. Your mom swore it would disappear after high school, but lo, here you are with red spots on your face. Don’t despair. First, you should definitely book an appointment with your dermatologist. They’re the experts on skin and acne treatments, and they might even have some topical medications for you to try. However, in the meantime, there are several proven remedies for adult acne to experiment with. From apple cider vinegar to yogurt, the at-home remedies are endless. You just need to find one that works for you and your skin.

leave your face feeling soft and your pores clear.
2. Wash your face. Instead of face wipes, find a natural and organic cleanser to use on your face each night. Avoid harsh ingredients, excessive chemicals and SLS. The soft cleanser will clean your face 100 times better than face wipes ever will!
5. Wash your pillowcases. This is a little known secret in the beauty community. The longer you sleep on the same pillow case, the longer the oils from your face cling to the fabric, transferring back onto your face every night. A clean pillow case can keep your face clean and healthy.
3. Use masks. Wash your face five nights a week, and use a facial mask the other two nights. Masks work to detox and clear out your pores. Using makeup can clog them, causing inflammation, redness and pimples. They will
4. Lemon juice is your friend. Wake up on the day of your big presentation with your acne raging out of control? Dab a little lemon juice on the pimples. The lemon juice is rich in citric acid, which helps to exfoliate the skin and dry out the blemish.
6. Drink milk at a minimum. Milk is filled with hormones and inflammatory substances that exacerbate your skin, prompting acne breakouts like you wouldn’t
believe. Dairy actually glues your dead skin cells together, clogging your pores and creating yet more acne. It’s best to cut your dairy consumption in half, and make sure you’re getting your daily calcium somewhere else. 7. Stop touching your face. This one might seem obvious, but you actually touch your face a lot more than you realize throughout the day. Avoid transferring dirty oils onto your face and clogging your pores, and avoid meddling with your pre-existing blemishes. This will only make them redder and take longer to heal! 8. Use makeup sparingly. The less face makeup you use, the clearer your skin will be. This is especially applicable to those with oily, acne-prone skin. Keep your makeup to a minimum to keep your pores clear and clean.
Take care of yourself by changing your morning routine
Kelsey Powell Staff Writer Powell.210@wright.edu
The morning is the most important part of the day, it’s the start to the day and we know from the time we wake up if it will be a good day or a bad day. Well make it a good day with a self-care routine for the morning that you can call your own. The first step is waking up early in the morning, I know that might sound awful to some people but it will make a difference. Waking up early gets
you ready and prepared for the day it also helps you relax before you get into your school and work routine for the day. Next, start your wake up process with a nice hot cup green tea or a warm to cool cup of water with lemon. This gets you re-hydrated after getting your eight hours of sleep and not drinking anything and wakes you up a little more. After you get your hydration on, get a todo list going of what you need to get done that day. Put the three most important things to get
done at the top of the list and then finish out with things that can be done at a later time if need be. Get moving with a short workout even if it is 10 or 15 minutes, it gets your energy up and helps you be stimulated for the day ahead. Lastly, stay unplugged during the morning, many of us don’t like to be away from our cell phones or computers but it’s for the best. Staying unplugged can keep you away from negative
ness-building course for their careers. The TedX presentations covered a wide variety of topics, such as a motivational speech, explaining an idea or creation, telling a story through their own life experiences or spreading the call to action to change the world. The majority of these speakers are from the Dayton area. Speakers consisted of business professionals, a radio journalist, professors, past congress-
man, parent coach, activists and even a middle school student. Wright State professor, Joe Deer, spoke at the event about how revolutionary the musical “Hamilton: An American Musical” was on Broadway and why he believed it was so incredibly popular. Deer is an author and past performer on Broadway as a dancer, actor and stage manager. He now works with the Dayton Muse Machine and The Hu-
thoughts on Facebook or those 20 hectic emails from bosses, co-workers, professors and more. So wait until later when you make it to work or school to get into those emails and stay relaxed at home or in your dorm for the morning. All of these can help create a great morning for you and you can even change some of these steps to fit you and your personality better in the morning.

1. Stop using face wipes. You know those handy face wipes that come in the fat little packages? Yeah, stop relying on them so much. They are not meant to be in your be-allend-all face cleansing routine. Use the face wipes for mid-day refreshers, not to clean your face before bed.

3 iThenticate plagiarism A look into the first software in use at presidential forum News
Wright State Kristin Baughman News Editor
Baughman.25@wright.edu
iThenticate is a plagiarism detection software currently being used at Wright State. This program is designed for use by researchers, instructors, graduate students and undergraduates engaged in high-level research. This program screens written work for originality as well as copyright infringement. According to Matt Grushon, director of Research Compliance, this will highly benefit the university. “The entire university community benefits when faculty and staff are actively engaged in research and publishing activities,” Grushon said. “Conversely, the university can be negatively impacted by alle-
gations of impropriety in these same areas. This software is a tool that we offer as one means of helping faculty and staff achieve and maintain appropriate levels of professional conduct.” This software was offered to the university as part of a state license, according to Grushon. iThenticate is growing in popularity amongst other universities across the country. Using this program allows the user to upload and scan documents, theses, dissertations, manuscripts, research proposals and other professional works. iThenticate will then compare the scanned item to 14 billion web pages and 110 million content items from leading academic publications. In addition, iThenticate also compares uploaded content to published text that is
behind publisher firewalls on the internet. According to Grushon, the response from the university has been a positive one. “The software is an optional tool for their use as they determine it to be helpful. I think they see it as useful resource that helps protect them,” Grushon said. Due to the complexity of this program, there is the potential for issues to arise. “The software is very powerful in terms of its ability to identify potential areas of concern, but it requires someone to review those areas carefully to determine if there is a “real” problem,” Grushon said. “Users must be aware of these limitations and not rely on the reports that are generated as definitive answers – it takes the human to do that.”
New guidelines for spirit rock underway Sarah Cavender Contributing Writer Cavender.8@wright.edu The spirit rock outside of Millet Hall was originally for notifying others of events and has been used by organizations across the campus. It is always brightly painted with different slogans, organization names and events. In many ways there were unwritten rules or forms of etiquette for those that wanted to use the rock. Recently it has become a concern who is painting the rock and what is being painted on its surface. The Student Government Association met in early October to talk about some other issues along with their con-
cerns of the spirit rock. Currently it is underway for the establishment of a “Rock Etiquette Committee” along with rules and guidelines. According to the President of Student Government Association, Lukas Wenrick, commented changes to an etiquette committee will take place by Tuesday the 18th of October. “I think they do need
rules but it’s sad that we do when it comes to painting the spirit rock,” sophomore Hannah said when asked her opinion about the recent problems. As the SGA moves forward to establish a document of rules and guidelines along with the creation of the committee, more information will be released.

The first presidential forum was held on October 10, with around 40 people in attendance. This was a first of three forums for the search of the next president. The majority of those in attendance were faculty and staff, giving them the ability to voice their opinions in what they thought would be most important. During this forum, those in attendance were able to the preliminary results of the survey that was recently distributed. Around 2,000 surveys were received. Forty-five percent of the surveys said the minimum level of experience the next
president should have is either Dean or Vice president. In terms of academic background, 62.5 percent said a doctorate is the preferred amount of education. According to Doug Fecher, Chair of the Presidential Search and Screening Advisory Committee, was pleased with the first forum. “I was very pleased with the forum yesterday. The input provided by participants was helpful. In some cases it confirmed themes that came out in the general survey (a president committed to enhancing the student experience and to cultivating a culture of diversity and inclusion are among the most important attributes – exactly what I would have thought),” Fecher said in an e-mail. “In some
cases perspectives were more balanced (the need for innovation and “risk taking”, for example, or the somewhat balanced response towards the question about shared governance).” Public participation was highly encouraged, with each person in attendance receiving a remote to vote on certain questions asked during the forum. The majority of the audience voted that the university should no promote from within the university for the next president, due to the want of a fresh perspective from outside of Wright State. The committee will be hosting a Presidential Symposium on October 19.
New additions coming to Wright State Cortney Veneman Editorial Intern Veneman.3@wright.edu
General classrooms on campus have undergone a modern improvement as they were equipped with technology as well as new furniture. One of which is the tiered lecture hall in Oelman, which is now three separate classrooms and was opened at the beginning of the 2016 fall semester. According to the report, the final phase of classroom improvements will be made by summer of 2017. The Physical Plant and Grounds Report was released September 15, containing a list of expected additions and
construction to be seen on campus. According to the document these include, “the addition or replacement of several service generators, replacing the fire shutters separating the library and the library annex, and the new evacuation signage in all campus buildings.” Projects such as elevator modernization and instructional laboratory renovations throughout the university are deemed top priority. Roof repairs are also among these, as Russ Engineering Center is expected to be finished with its roof replacement this October. The Student Union is included in the list as its intentions for modification are to “create a

thriving place for student activities and support services,” says Facilities Planner, Mark Horsley, “but this renovation is the first formal step in the right direction.” This plan is still in the design phase and is awaiting necessary plans to assure the construction will stick within the budget. When asked where these funds for their budget are coming from considering the Universities exposed debt, Dan Papay, Associate Vice President of Facilities Management and Services, informed that “Local funding will be less of a resource during budget realignment process” and that “the infrastructure projects are funded from the latest capital bill from the State of Ohio.”

Psych: Why do we Yo-Yoing through campus: Jesus Quiroz like to be scared? Kelsey Powell Staff Writer Powell.210@wright.edu
With Halloween coming so soon, many people are looking on where to get their fix of getting scared. But why? Why do some of us like when someone pops out at us, making us jump or someone scary grabbing us and making us scream? Well the reason has a lot to do with the psychology of it all. “Some reasons why people like getting scared is going to be similar to reasons why people enjoy high risk behaviors or thrill seeking (roller coasters, driving fast, bungee jumping),” Ab-
normal Psychology professor Alicia Wagoner said. “Adrenaline is going to increase, and some people enjoy the effects.” According to Abnormal Psychology Seventeenth Edition adrenaline is a “hormone secreted by the adrenal medulla during strong emotion; causes such bodily changes as an increase in blood pressure.” People get a thrill out of this and get excited when they get scared whether they are watching a scary movie or going to a haunted house. With that being said what leads us to be scared so much that we like it, well that can be numerous reasons. “Most of these rea-
sons are similar to how we develop phobia,” Wagoner said. According to Abnormal Psychology Seventeenth Edition a phobia is “persistent and disproportionate fear of some specific object or situation that presents little or no actual danger.” “Learned behavior which can be through classical conditioning or through direct traumatic conditioning.” “Vicarious conditioning which is watching someone else’s feared response leads us to become scared and genetics is also going to play a factor,” Wagoner said. So get out there and get scared whether you like it or not.

Mastering the technique of a yo-yo is something that can take years of practice and can be a frustrating hobby to pick up. Wright State junior Computer Science major Jesus Quiroz has been yo-yoing for about three years and has really gotten involved in the sport. Quiroz has about 15 yo-yos and over 200 strings that he has purchased, and none he had with him exceeded the price of $50. “After my brother’s birthday party where yo-yos were party favors it brought me back to when I was a child and I started looking more into it. Looking at videos online and seeing what’s out there, and then buying my first yo-yo with bearings at a store in the mall,” Quiroz said. The go-to trick Quiroz likes to do is the horizontal skin the gerbil. Quiroz also enjoys watching the international competition called Worlds and even was able to attend this year because it was in Cleveland, OH. “I was really excited to see all the people
you normally wouldn’t see. It rotates between continents of North America, Europe and Asia, so when I saw it was in the U.S. then saw it was in Ohio I knew I had to go,” said Quiroz. One of Quiroz’s favorite people to watch is Gentry Stein who is the 2014 World champion. Quiroz also enjoys coming across people on campus that
yo-yo and that are looking to practice or show their skills with him. “As I’m yo-yoing through campus it’s always cool when someone asks if they can show me a trick they’ve been practicing,” Quiroz said. Quiroz knows of a few people that yo-yo, but says he’s always looking for more people to enjoy the sport with.
Traveling photographer makes his way home to Wright State
Levi Givens Contributing Writer Givens.26@wright.edu
Lee Caster is a Wright State film major specializing in cinematography and camera manipulation. Caster has a long history behind the camera as a freelance photographer, and has traveled across the States exercising his passion. Over the course of the last decade, Lee has had countless clients and even taught his own photography class. After 12 years Lee has returned to Dayton and to his family, to enroll at Wright State University and further his career. Lee is originally from Kettering, Ohio and spent his childhood in the area. After attending high school locally and going to Sinclair for his general education courses, Caster made the decision to complete his bachelor of fine arts in print making and photography at Bowling Green. After receiving a degree, Caster found an opportunity to utilize his education as a freelance photographer in Detroit, Michigan. A significant number of
4
magazines and communities that identified themselves as supporters under the banner of the LGBT movement, needed a freelance photographer. It was these communities, and the niche they created, that provided sustenance for Caster over the course of his time in Detroit. “This community was underground, very underground, almost entirely hidden but still present on social media, in established clubs, art communities, you name it,” Caster said. After Detroit’s economic decline became more prevalent and began to affect the population and therefore, the need for a freelance photographer, Caster moved to Columbus and temporarily became a bike mechanic. When the occupation eventually became stale and no professional positions were available that would allow Caster to pick up his camera in a stationary environment, he decided to go backpacking and return to freelance photography. Lee traveled south to Florida, and was constantly traveling and on the move for nearly three years.
October 19, 2016
“Basically I did little bits of freelance work here and there in order to get to the next stop,” Caster said. Through Lee’s freelancing, he was approached with an opportunity to professionally photograph a wedding in Las Vegas. After anxiously grasping the opportunity, packing up, and traveling to the location he was sadly informed the couple had split and there was no longer a job. This unfortunate event made Caster realize how risky a freelance profession could be that involved travel and how beneficial it would be to seek out a more static occupation instead. Lee eventually found a stationary position teaching a photography class in Richmond, California, while simultaneously maintaining a position moving art in the same location. After teaching for nine months, Caster decided to leave that behind and focus entirely on art transportation. Art transportation eventually carried him to San Francisco and Caster became friends with the native community.
www.theguardianonline.com
Some of these people were aspiring artists, others hobbyists and even entrepreneurs. It is with this crowd that Caster places his future. After 12 years of constant travel, experience and a plethora of additions to his portfolio,
Caster is diligently perusing his second BFA at Wright State University. “It feels right, getting my second BFA back here,” Caster said. The collective industry present amongst his friends was the film medium. This inspired
Lee to take a short hiatus, come home, and obtain a film degree, after which he will return to San Francisco where he hopes find his place in the industry and apply his new degree and his passion.

Student Spotlight: Special effects make-up artist Alia Eckhardt Adam Ramsey Features Editor Ramsey.55@wright.edu Senior biological sciences major, Alia Eckhardt began her film experience when she met local director Henrique Couto. “I do special effects and glamor make-up,” Eckhardt said. “I also do other movie stuff. I do acting too, and voice overs. I do lots of line producing on pretty much everything Henrique has worked on since a few years ago.” Her connection to movies provided her an opportunity to pursue a variety of interests, including special effects make-up, which she taught herself by taking advantage of the internet. “With make-up, it started with Zombie Walks,” Eckhardt said. “I would do-up all of my friends and watch lots of YouTube videos so I knew what I was doing. I only used whatever I had around, like Elmer’s glue and toilet paper, basically I put papier- mâché on people’s faces. I got really good at doing zombie make-up for almost free with the kit that I had, that was really just fake blood, a roll of toilet paper, a brown makeup palette, and that
was almost it. I would throw yellow on people if I wanted to make them really infected.” Eckhardt moved her special effects make-up talent into the film industry when she had to fill in on set for another make-up artist. “Henrique knew that I was already working on all that stuff and I knew how to do it,” Eckhardt said. “He has one super reliable make-up artist, and he just hired another one, but there were times when the super awesome one wasn’t available, and he needed one on set, so I said that I would do it. Since then, I’ve been his go-to for special effects.” Since then, in the past two years, Eck-
hardt has worked in special effects for four feature length movies and two shorts. Most recently, she worked on “Scary Clown,” directed by Couto. To see her work, you can find “Scary Clown” on Youtube, Amazon and more. The most difficult part of working on set with special effects is time management. “If you do not restrain a special effects artist, they will take the entire time on set,” Eckhardt said. “I may have finished four make-up jobs on time, out of every scene I have worked on. I have to set timers for myself. It’s important to learn how to work fast.” For anyone inter-
ested in learning special effects make-up for their Halloween costume, Eckhardt suggests finding how-to videos on the internet and a few more tips. “If anyone wants to be a zombie, I would definitely recommend watching Youtube videos, because that’s how I learned,” Eckhardt said. “I’m completely selftaught. If anyone wants scars, the best thing for that is rigid collodion. If anyone wants to look absolutely mutilated, cottonballs, latex, or elmer’s glue, if anyone is allergic to latex, and just stick them on there, pull them off, pour some fake blood on it and you are good to go.”

Raiders drop games to Vikings and Phoenix Blake Sutherland Sports Writer
Sutherland.21@wright.edu
The Wright State women’s volleyball team (8-13; Horizon 3-5) dropped three straight sets to the Cleveland State University Vikings (16-4; Horizon 7-1), on Oct. 14 in the C.J. McLin Gym and the Green Bay Phoenix (14-6; Horizon 6-2) on Oct. 16, in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The game against the Phoenix marked Wright State’s third straight loss. The Raiders are currently fifth in the Horizon League standings. In the first set against Cleveland State the Raiders played the Vikings close early, but the Vikings would score eight straight points to
win the first set 25-15. The second set would show much of the same with Wright State staying even with Cleveland State for the early parts of the set, yet Cleveland State would win the this set as well 25-18. Continuing the trend of staying close but not being able to finish the set with a win Wright State found themselves down by only four points later in the decisive third set, but Cleveland State would win 25-16 on an Aaliyah Slappy kill. Despite the loss, junior outside hitter, Katie Klusman, led all players with 14 kills and 15 points in the game. In Wright State’s Sunday match in Wisconsin, Green Bay ran away
with the first set, scoring nine straight points to win the set 25-14. In the second set the Phoenix used a great mix of offence and defense winning 25-16. Wright State would lose the game and drop their ninth straight set after the Green Bay Phoenix would score their game winning point on a Wright State service error from junior Megan Hopkins. Despite the service error Hopkins finished the game leading the team in points . Wright State will look to end their three game slide against the last team they beat, Valparaiso, in Valparaiso, Indiana on Friday, Oct. 21, at 7 p.m.
Student athlete spotlight: Marcel Ueltzhoeffer Cameron Summers Sports Editor Summers.43@wright.edu
Marcel Ueltzhoeffer is a transfer student from Murray State and currently a junior majoring in International Business. Ueltzhoeffer is on the men’s tennis team, just one year after being the number one tennis player at Murray State for their doubles and singles. Murray State got rid of their tennis program after last season making Ueltzhoeffer eligible to transfer without sitting out one year. “First of all, the amazing business program which has a very good accreditation, reputation
and a good perspective for the tennis team was important to me,” Ueltzhoeffer said on coming to WSU, “Furthermore, the size of the school, the campus and the place had played an important role too. I had a good conversation with the coach who really wanted me as a student athlete for the tennis team and convinced me to come to WSU.” For Ueltzhoeffer being a student athlete is something that he is very appreciative of even though it comes with its difficulties. “It can be hard sometimes with the time we have to spend oncourt (and traveling) and studying, but over-
all I am glad to have the opportunity to call myself a student-athlete,” said Ueltzhoeffer. Ueltzhoeffer is from Germany where there is a huge difference between schools compared to the United States. In Germany, Ueltzhoeffer says that colleges do not compete between each other and don’t have specific facilities for sports. Most of the facilities are for clubs and for the public according to Ueltzhoeffer. This made the transition to America quite the experience for Ueltzhoeffer. “For me, I did not know what to expect before I came to America, because it was the first time ever I visited the states,” Ueltzhoeffer said. Ueltzhoeffer is currently recovering from having shoulder surgery in mid-July. The recovery time for the type of surgery he had is 5-6 months, so Ueltzhoeffer unfortunately won’t be able to play in the fall portion of the season. Ueltzhoeffer plans to return for the spring portion of the season and get back to the form he was in at Murray State.
2016-2017 NBA season preview Blake Sutherland Sports Writer Sutherland.21@wright.edu
The last NBA season ended with the Cavaliers winning the city of Cleveland’s first major sports title since the Browns won the NFL championship in 1964, by beating the 73 win Golden State Warriors in a seven game series. While the Cavaliers celebrated their championship with a parade and by maintaining the core of their championship team the Warriors reloaded. Golden State shook up their roster by letting starters Harrison Barnes and Andrew Bogut go to the Dallas Mavericks and picking up, 2014 NBA MVP, Kevin Durant in free agency. Durant leaves his championship contending Oklahoma City Thunder who lost to the Golden State Warriors in the western conference finals. The Thunder, without Durant, turn the reigns of the team over to their superstar Russell Westbrook who will be a front runner for the 2017 NBA MVP award. The biggest competition in the west to challenge the heavily stacked Warriors is the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs, now without their future hall of fame big man, Tim Duncan, will look to Kawhi Leonard to be the face of the franchise. The Spurs also added two-time NBA champion Pau Gasol to command the paint with their all-star forward LaMarcus Aldrige. While the Warriors and the Spurs go into the upcoming season as the favorites to come out of the western conference the Los Angeles Clippers are quietly propelling themselves
into the conversation for the best team in the west. With Chris Paul and Blake Griffin entering the season healthy to go along with All-NBA big man DeAndre Jordan, the Clippers will hope to shake things up. Teams in the western conference will look different and have higher expectations than before this upcoming season. The Portland Trailblazers will be a team to look out for after their surprising second round run in the playoffs. The Memphis Grizzlies go into the next season making the move to bring one of their best big men, Zach Randolph, off the bench and will look to point guard Mike Conley Jr. to lead the team after signing a $153 million deal, the largest in NBA history. The Lakers will go into the season for the first time in 20 years without Kobe Bryant and the Timberwolves will go into the season without Kevin Garnett who, like Bryant, retired. Both teams have a young roster who hopes to improve for future success. In the east, several teams will look to dethrone LeBron James who has represented the eastern conference in the NBA Finals every season since 2011. One of those teams are the Boston Celtics who made one of the biggest offseason moves adding All-Star center Al Horford and also drafting forward Jaylen Brown from the Uni-

The Wright State men’s soccer team shut out the Detroit Mercury 2-0 Saturday as they moved to 8-4-2 (HL 4-1-1) on the season. Both teams were held scoreless the majority of the first half until senior Eric Lynch scored the 6
game’s first goal just before the 40-minute mark. Just out of the half Peguy Ngatcha scored another goal not even five minutes into the half.

versity of California. Similar to the way LeBron James decided to go home when he signed with Cleveland prior to the 2015 NBA season, his former teammate Dwayne Wade signed with his hometown Chicago Bulls. Along with former AllStar Rajon Rondo and All-Star Jimmy Butler the Bulls look to stay in contention in the east after losing three All-Stars of their own. Those three former Bulls players include previously mentioned Pau Gasol, Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah. Rose and Noah will join Kristaps Porzingas and Carmelo Anthony in a new look New York Knicks team. Other teams quietly lurking in the east are the Atlanta Hawks who added Dwight Howard, who was on the last team to beat a LeBron James led team in the eastern conference playoffs. The Toronto Raptors will look to improve on their last season’s success, which was the best in franchise history and the Detroit Pistons will look to establish their place among eastern conference contenders after resigning All-Star center Andre Drummond after signing a $130 million contract. The Cleveland Cavaliers will look to raise their banner, collect their rings, and defend their first NBA championship against the New York Knicks on Tuesday, Oct. 25 on TNT at 8 p.m.

Gordi, 20—To every single person in my Psych class, I would kindly like to ask you to stop calling me gorgonzola. My name is Gordi. I am a proud Italian. That is all.
Joseph—This one goes out to Sarah in my supply chain class. When are you going to realize that it’s been me who has been leaving little hearts on all your papers? If your feelings are reciprocated, draw a heart on mine.
Sampson—Sampson is not my real name. My real name is not important. What is important is that Wright State know my true story. My true love story. She was five foot with gray eyes that changed with the weather. Those chocolate curls would bounce when she laughed. Her hips would sway. And I would weep, because she didn’t even know I existed. A classic tale, to be sure. Then I approached her, introduced myself, and watched as emotions flickered across her face. Then she walked away without so much as a “Nice to meet you!” But I cannot be stopped. I love her still. Though we may never speak again, I know that it was love.
Never underestimate the power of a good massage, Aries. There’s someone in your life who is dying to give you one if only you’d open your eyes to their desires. Will you open your heart as well?

Do not look at the moon. DO NOT. Your true nature will reveal itself and ruin that date you have with that girl you’ve been eyeing.

You’ve harbored a secret love for half-nakedfiremen-wearing-suspenders-while-carrying-an-axe videos for far too long, Sagittarius. It’s time to put these sexy videos in your past.

It’s time for a career change, Capricorn. Throw out your bachelor and master’s degrees and head to the airport, because it’s the flight attendent life for you! While serving tomato juice thousands of feet in the air, you will encounter the love of your life: the pilot. Let your love soar on the wings of a Boeing 747 and let your heart take flight. Your lucky conversation topic is: Putting the seat back in the upright position.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 21)

We know what we’re talking about. Your lucky conversation topic is: grapefruit flavored e-juice.
Pisces (Feb. 20-Mar.20) Has Snapchat been getting you down? Well, it’s time to quit all social media and return to reality, Pisces. Turn your phone off and settle down with a good book. The stars are certain that any book by John Green will most certainly cause you heartburn, however. Read something by Hemingway instead. Your lucky conversation topic is: Economy of words.
