Animals Die Due to Alleged Negligence By yiyang mao and riChard ChEss Contributing Writer and News Editor Three voles and a rhesus monkey died due to alleged negligence at Yerkes National Primate Research Center in 2017, according to documents filed with the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

The Emory University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) reported to the NIH in a

March 3 letter that researchers had found a dead vole in a cage with no feeder in its cage during routine morning observations. The animal had been under special care due to a recent surgery.

Upon discovering the cadaver, animal care staff notified the veterinary technician, who requested an autopsy, according to the letter. The autopsy results were inconclusive. The technician responsible for the lab was a sub-

ANNEXATION

Atl. Council to Debate School District Lines By madison BoBEr and riChard ChEss Contributing Writer and News Editor

The Atlanta City Council did not vote on Emory’s annexation at Monday’s meeting due to unresolved issues related to where DeKalb County students will attend school postannexation. Some had expected the Council to vote on the annexation.

The Council approved two intergovernmental agreements with DeKalb County related to land use and services in Monday’s meeting. DeKalb County passed the agreements Oct. 3.

It remains unclear whether the annexation will also expand the

boundaries of the Atlanta Public Schools. Nine students in the area currently attend schools in the DeKalb County School District (DCSD).

A total of $2.3 million in property tax funding for education is at stake in this case, and the decision may establish a precedent for future annexations.

Registered voters in the proposed annexed area will not be able to vote in the upcoming November election for Atlanta positions and measures, as previously speculated.

The land is set to be formally annexed on the first day of the following month after the Council and mayor approve Emory’s petition for annexation.

If the petition is approved at the next Council meeting on Nov. 6, the annexation will go into effect on Dec. 1.

Angela Jiang (19C), an Emory student who registers students to vote in Georgia, said Emory students could have made an impact on future mayoral and city council elections.

“This election in particular is fascinating, and we could have had a lot of sway in it,” Jiang said. “Atlanta is electing nine out of 15 of the possible city council positions. Essentially, we could have had a say in a huge transformation of Atlanta’s municipal government.”

The annexation into Atlanta will

University and University-affiliated groups can remove certain speech in limited public forums, the Emory University Senate Standing Committee for Open Expression decided in an unanimous Sept. 26 opinion.

The opinion, titled “In Re Emory Integrity Project Chalkboards and Other Limited Public Forums,” states

that content in a limited public forum can be erased if it is unrelated to the topic of the forum. A limited public forum is a space in which “community input is invited but participation is limited to select groups or particular subject matters,” according to the opinion.

News Roundup

Crime Report Compiled by monica lefton On Oct. 10 at 2:16 a.m., Emory Police Department (EPD) responded to a call regarding an intoxicated individual at Raoul Hall.

Officers arrived on scene and met with several Emory students, including the subject, an 18-year-old female student who was unconscious but breathing. Her friend told officers she consumed three beers and one vodka shot earlier in the night at an unknown fraternity house and had thrown up 10 times prior to the officers’ arrival.

The officers were unable to wake the intoxicated individual.

The officer observed blood coming from her nose and a bump on her head, which she reportedly contracted from a fall in the bathroom earlier that night.

American Medical Response (AMR) and DeKalb County Fire and Rescue also arrived on the scene, and the student was transported to Emory University Hospital (EUH). Campus Life was notified.

On Oct. 11 at 12:53 a.m., EPD responded to a call regarding battery (visible bodily Harm to another) at Raoul Hall. Officers spoke to the complainant, a resident adviser, who called on behalf of one of her residents.

The victim, an Emory student, said that on Oct. 10 at 10:40 p.m., while she was studying in a lounge in the building, another student walked by and they began discussing their fall breaks. The other student then reportedly pulled out a pocket knife and began playing with it. The subject gently pressed the knife into the palm of the victim, leaving a cut. The subject later texted an apology to the victim, according to the victim. The victim reported the incident to her resident adviser, and the Campus Life oncall personnel also arrived on scene.

The victim denied an offer to move to a different location for the evening. The case has been assigned to an investigator.

On Oct. 11 at 4:24 p.m., EPD responded to a call regarding a second-degree burglary from the Emory Woodruff Memorial Research Building.

An officer met with an Emory employee who reported a printer stolen from room 2131. The printer was last known to be in the office on Oct. 6 at 8:30 a.m.

The doctor who sometimes occupied the office discovered the printer was missing on Oct. 10 at 4:50 p.m. The printer, an HP LaserJet Pro M102w, is valued at $160. The case has

been assigned to an investigator.

On Oct. 12 at 8:25 p.m., EPD responded to a call regarding to a vehicle break-in at the Visual Arts Building and Gallery parking lot. An officer met with an Emory student who reported parking his 2012 Audi A7 in the front of the building at 6 p.m. and returning at 8:20 p.m. to find his front passenger side window shattered and his backpack missing. Officers collected partial prints from the broken window. The Burberry backpack, which contained an Apple MacBook Pro, Prada sunglasses and a French language textbook are valued at a total of $2,630. The case has been assigned to an investigator.

On Oct. 15 at 5:04 a.m., EPD responded to a call regarding an intoxicated individual at Longstreet-Means Hall. Officers met with an Emory student who said that his roommate, an 18-year-old Emory student, had been vomiting around 4 a.m. The roommate said that he was concerned because the vomit was red and resembled blood. The roommate said that the subject had been at a friend’s house earlier and consumed an unknown amount of whiskey.

The roommate also reported the subject had been transported to the hospital earlier in the year after he had consumed alcohol. Officers observed burgundy-colored vomit on the sheets of the subject’s bed.

American Medical Response (AMR) also arrived on the scene but the subject refused medical treatment and transport. AMR advised the subject come down from the bunk bed and relocate closer to the floor. The roommate said he would care for the subject. Campus Life was notified.

On Oct. 15 at 7:56 p.m., EPD responded to a call regarding criminal trespass property damage at Casa Emory, the Spanish and Portuguese House, at 756 Peavine Creek Road.

Officers met and spoke with an Emory student, who reported that someone shattered the rear windshield of her 2006 Toyota Corolla while it was parked at the house.

The student said that she parked the vehicle on Oct. 13 at 3 p.m. and returned Oct. 15 at 2:30 p.m. Nothing was reported stolen from the car.

Officers searched the area for possible tools used to cause the damage but found nothing.

The case has been assigned to an investigator.

Compiled by valerie Sandoval martin luthEr handwriting Found A retired professor from the University of Gottingen, Ulrich Bubenheimer, discovered the handwriting of Protestant Reformation leader Martin Luther on a document via Pitts Theology Library’s digital archives. Pitts Theology Library at the Candler School of Theology is home to the largest collection of works by Luther in North America. The threeline inscription Bubenheimer found is located on the title page of a 1520 pamphlet, according to an Oct. 16 University press release. The lines explain who the author of the work is, a fact that was previously unknown and debated among scholars. The claim was verified with advisers of the Richard C. Kessler Reformation Collection at Pitts Theology Library, where the original document is stored, according to interim director of the Pitts Library Bo Adams. saaC Pool ClosEs Due to an emergency mechanical issue, the Student Activity and Academic Center (SAAC) pool has been closed to swimmers until further notice, according to an Oct. 16 email from SAAC staff.

They hope to reopen the pool by the end of the season and all SAAC members who receive permission from the SAAC will be able to use the indoor pool at the Woodruff P.E. Center during the interim period. The pool was previously scheduled to remain open until Nov. 1.

CC wrongly advErtisEs shuttlEs College Council (CC) provided funding for shuttles to the 2017 Atlanta Trans March on Oct. 14, although an advertisement indicated the shuttles were for the Pride Parade, which was actually Oct. 15. CC’s Facebook event, titled “Experience Shuttles// Pride Festival,” advertised that the service would drop students off at the parade in the cover photo. Although the Atlanta Pride Festival runs from Oct. 13 to 15, the parade itself travels through Downtown Atlanta only on Oct. 15. More than 40 Emory affiliates marched in the parade on behalf of the University and the Office of LGBT Life. CC President Cassidy Schwartz (18C) and Vice President Naman Jain (18C) did not respond to request for comment as of press time. trumP may ExtEnd daCa dEadlinE President Donald J. Trump could extend the March 5 deadline to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program if Congress cannot reach an agreement to replace the Obama-era program by then, Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) told The Washington Post. Trump did not specify how long the extension to the deadline would be, according to what Lankford told the Post. DACA is a temporary immigration benefit granted to some undocumented immigrants who entered the United States as children.

When his administration announced the rescission of the program early September, Trump said that he hoped Congress would pass a legislative solution extending protection to

undocumented immigrants. House Democrats are seeking GOP support to pass the Dream Act, which would provide permanent legal status to roughly 1.6 million “Dreamers,” according to The Post. Trump has called DACA “an unconstitutional use of executive authority.” A total of 690,000 individuals in the U.S. are DACA recipients, according to the Department of Homeland Security. alumna rEsPonds to dovE ad Emory alumna Lola Ogunyemi (08Ox, 10C) appeared in a controversial, recently aired Dove advertisement. Dove posted a video clip from one of their new advertisements that has been met with backlash and accusations of racism. The ad in question depicts a black woman, portrayed by Ogunyemi, wearing a brown shirt who removes her top to reveal a white woman wearing a white shirt. Dove released an apology for the viral advertisement, stating that they “missed the mark in representing women of color thoughtfully.”

Ogunyemi said that she is “not a victim” of the ad and believes that the image was taken out of context.

In the full-length advertisement, multiple women of various races are shown transforming into different women with different colored T-shirts.

Ogunyemi said that if she had known that she would’ve been portrayed as the “inferior” in a “before and after” shot, she wouldn’t have agreed to be in the advertisement.

Limits on Speech Must Be ‘Viewpoint-neutral’ Continued from Page 1 body must clearly define who is allowed to participate in the forum and what subject matter is permitted, the opinion stated.

The restrictions must be “reasonable and viewpoint-neutral.” If people make comments in the forum that violate the restrictions, the University or University-affiliated body that created the forum may erase those comments.

Examples of limited public forums include online spaces, such as Facebook groups dedicated to community members like “Emory University Class of 2021,” or “more ‘metaphysical’ forums like a Student Activities Fund created ‘to support a broad range of extracurricular student activities,’” according to the opinion.

According to the opinion, a specific limited public forum sparked the debate on the extent that expression could be regulated in these forums.

The Emory Integrity Project, a joint project of the Center for Ethics and the Division of Campus Life, placed chalkboards across the Atlanta campus Spring 2017 asking students to respond to different prompts such as “Making a positive impact on the world is …” and “Leading with integrity looks like …”

The opinion notes that some responses were “serious and engaging,” while others were “nonresponsive references” to jokes and memes like “Harambe.”

Those actions caused the Committee to consider if it would be acceptable to erase some of the irrelevant responses if they are “unrelated or nonresponsive.” “[Groups or individuals in charge of limited public forums] may even curate the content in other (viewpointneutral) ways, such as by erasing comments after a certain time, erasing

comments that are duplicative to allow more space on the chalkboard for other comments or erasing comments that fall below a (viewpoint-neutral) level of quality,” the opinion reads.

“Viewpoint-neutral” is a common term used in First Amendment law that means that one cannot discriminate against another based on that person’s viewpoint.

“If you have an Emory Integrity Project chalkboard asking for views about protesting the national anthem, you can write ‘protesting the national anthem is very courageous’ or ‘protesting the national anthem is very disrespectful’ — either of those is allowed,” Open Expression Committee Chair and Associate Professor of Law Sasha Volokh said. “On the other hand, if the chalkboard said, ‘Write down why you think protesting the national anthem is courageous,’ that would be not viewpoint-neutral because it would only accept writing of one particular viewpoint.”

Volokh said pointed to the example of a Facebook group as a possible limited public forum.

“You could say, this is a Facebook group where you can announce events to relate to English literature, and, at that point, if people start getting into a political discussion, chances are that’s not related to the announced subject matter,” Volokh said. “On the other hand, if they had a Facebook group that explicitly said it was for the freshman class to discuss whatever is of interest to them, then students could get into a political discussion and the University could not censor anything.”

Groups can also curate content in a viewpoint-neutral manner by taking actions such as erasing comments after a certain time or erasing comments that are duplicative to allow more space on a chalkboard for other

comments, according to the opinion.

Despite potential limitations under the new opinion, freedom of expression is still protected under the Open Expression Policy, Volokh said.

“A club can formulate its own policy,” Volokh said. “For example, the Latino Student Organization can decide to take a specific position or to invite a specific speaker, and they don’t have to invite the opposite speaker or give time to the opposite position.”

Volokh added that those rights extend to members of the University administration, including University President Claire E. Sterk.

“Sterk can say things in favor of Donald Trump or in favor of DACA students or transgender students,” Volokh said. “She has her rights, and the University as a whole can choose what message to convey. Departments can do the same, and student organizations can do the same.”

The opinion on limited public forums was written as a collective effort by the Open Expression Committee, according to Volokh. The Committee is composed of 14 people: four faculty members, three staff members, five students (at least two graduate and two undergraduate) and one representative of Campus Life.

Volokh said that the voting on the decision to incorporate the idea of limited public forums at Emory was unanimous.

The Open Expression Policy states that Emory “respects the Constitutional rights of free speech and assembly” established in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Because the University is a private institution, Emory is not directly bound by the First Amendment.

ATLANTA

Emory Alum Leads Mayoral Race

By BEliCia rodriguEz Contributing Writer

An Emory alumna could be Atlanta’s first white mayor since 1973.

Mary Norwood (74C), the leading candidate in the 2017 non-partisan Atlanta mayoral election, spoke to the Wheel about her views on various pressing topics, such as Emory’s annexation into the city of Atlanta and Atlanta’s reputation as a “welcoming city” for undocumented individuals.

The most recent poll conducted by 11Alive news network and released Oct. 3 places Norwood at the lead with 28 percent of the vote. The next contender, Atlanta City Councilwoman Keisha Lance Bottoms stands at 15 percent.

Like most of the other Atlanta mayoral candidates, Norwood told the Wheel in an interview that she supports the annexation of Emory, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other Emoryaffiliated entities into Atlanta.

“These are incredibly prestigious and impactful institutions that benefit Atlanta’s stature and reputation in the world,” Norwood said.

If elected mayor, the Emory alumna said that she would grow her relationship with the University by becoming involved in the Emory Alumni Association.

Norwood added that she would continue to uphold Atlanta as a welcoming city for undocumented immigrants, noting the importance of creating an inclusive city. Norwood said that she would follow the language of current Mayor Kasim Reed, who condemned President Donald J. Trump’s January executive order that would defund “sanctuary cities” as violating the U.S. Constitution, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Norwood said that she is prepared to work with a seven-member commission appointed by Reed that is investigating the removal of Confederate monuments from public spaces in Atlanta.

“It is very important for us to be thoughtful about our heritage overall,” Norwood said.

Norwood declined to comment on the performance of Reed, who had defeated her in the 2009 race.

Norwood voiced support for keeping Atlanta and the greater suburban region connected. When asked about the Clifton Corridor Project, which would link Emory to downtown Atlanta via MARTA, Norwood described the project as a great way to connect the region.

“We have the ability ... to accept

Norwood applauded Emory’s emphasis on traffic navigation and connectivity, and she has no doubt Emory would help “pay its fair share as it comes in.”

Norwood added that she supported the PATH Foundation trails project when it first came to Atlanta in the 1990s.

“This is the way of the future that we get around without being in single occupant vehicles. I am a very strong supporter of an entire trail network throughout the region,” Norwood said.

After graduating from Emory in 1974 with a bachelor’s in history, Norwood worked in the radio business and volunteered at the Atlanta Preservation Center, a nonprofit organization that promotes preservation of historical buildings in Atlanta. In 1990, Norwood became president of her neighborhood association in Tuxedo Park. She realized that, under the Historic Preservation Ordinance (1988), she could apply for her neighborhood to become a historic district.

Although Norwood was defeated at City Hall by one vote, the events later led her to leave radio and start her own business, Norwood Communications.

She credits the development of her career to her Emory education.

“It was the Emory liberal arts education and all of its courses that pertain to what I cared passionately about that compelled me into the career I’ve had,” Norwood said.

Before coming to Emory, Norwood attended Sweet Briar College (Va.) for two years and worked for the National Trust for Historic Preservation in Washington D.C., and in the Belle Grove Plantation, a historic property in Virginia. When she transferred to Emory in her junior year, Norwood said that she found classes that piqued her interest in history.

One professor, Elizabeth Lyon, taught an architecture and urban design history class that combined everything Norwood loved. Norwood said the class strengthened her desire to continue preservation work and that she still has Lyon’s book, “Atlanta Architecture: The Victorian Heritage, 1837-1918,” in her office at City Hall. Norwood was also a member of Emory’s chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta.

Voting for the Atlanta mayoral election will be held Nov. 7. Reed has already served two terms and is ineligible for reelection. If no candidate receives an absolute majority of 50 percent of the vote, a runoff vote will be held between the top two finishers Dec. 5.

For Emory students interested in politics, Norwood recommends that they learn about their representatives, volunteer for political campaigns and participate in voter drives.

“There’s an academic interpretation, and then there’s a real interpretation,” Norwood said. “There is nothing that can take the place of being in a campaign and watching it from start to the end.”

SGA

Legislature Pushes Back Vote on Student Concerns Committee Bill

By BEliCia rodriguEz Contributing Writer

The 51st legislature of the Student Government Association (SGA) convened Monday evening to discuss a bill that would create an Emory Student Concerns Committee.

The legislature did not vote on the bill, citing the need for additional clarity on the potential committee.

Bill 51sl22 called for the formation of the Emory Student Concerns Committee, which would regularly convene campus leaders and concerned students to discuss issues that can be addressed by SGA. SGA recommended that the bill should be worked, revised and reproposed at a later meeting.

Chief of Staff Mario Karras (17Ox, 19B) presented the bill to the legislature. The bill was jointly submitted

by Karras, Vice President of Student Experience Daniella Moreno-Kaste

(19C), Freshman Representative Austin Graham (21C) and Freshman Representative Alice Bodge (21C).

“This is a short bill to create a standing committee, and there are a lot of open questions,” Speaker of the House and Senior Representative William Palmer (18C) said. “We [need] to get a better idea of what this is going to be and then solidify that. I have a lot of questions still about the makeup of the committee.”

In response to Palmer’s concerns, Graham said that the committee would determine the most effective structure for itself.

“Initially, it wouldn’t have been a standing committee. It would’ve been kind of experimental,” Graham said.

“And so we form the committee, and then we’d let the committee structure itself. Once we figure out a structure that works best for this sort of public forum committee, that then we submit more detailed legislation to make it

a standing committee that includes structure and bylaws for the committee specific issues.”

Graham added that the committee would be a representative sample of students who would be responsible for formulating solutions to a wide variety of campus issues.

“If we had something that was brought up to us by the administration,

by Campus Life or by other members of the legislature, we would take [those problems] to them and they, as a representative sample of the University students, would be able to help us formulate solutions that are agreeable to all students across the academic divisions,” Graham said.

Karras explained that students who are interested in pursuing a position in SGA would be incentivized to get involved by participating in the committee.

“It’s a way for you to get involved with SGA without being officially on

SGA,” Karras said. “Let’s say you want to run the year after, you can say, ‘Hey, well I have experience. I have made change on campus, and I wasn’t even that officially involved in student government.’ ” Bodge said she understood why the legislature did not move to vote on the bill.

“We put it together kind of quickly,” Bodge told the Wheel. “I think that it was more productive to come in and present it to SGA and hear what everyone thought of it, rather than just … vote on it.”

University Registrar JoAnn McKenzie presented to SGA and asked SGA for assistance in forming an advisory board to discuss meaningful initiatives the Office of the University Registrar could take to improve student life.

McKenzie said Emory is looking into reevaluating the Online Pathway to University Students (OPUS), which

Emory has used for 15 years.

“We currently are looking into a registration tool right now, and I’d love to form a group of students to come and take a look at this tool and tell us, ‘Is this the right thing for you? Is this not what you need?’ so that we quit buying things that you don’t find useful,” McKenzie said.

Three vendors are coming to campus to present their different systems that could improve or replace OPUS as the registration system for Fall 2018.

Palmer reported that he is working to create a fund that would support the Emory Emergency Medical Services (EEMS) volunteers, who pay around $2,300 for training and uniforms.

Palmer is currently working with the EEMS leaders and said he will present a bill about the project in an upcoming SGA meeting.

Yerkes Euthanizes Wrong Monkey

Continued from Page 1

stitute because the usual technician was out of town at a meeting, the letter said. A review by the IACUC found the “quality of enrichment” made it difficult to observe the entire cage, and determined that the vole likely had food until the day it died. The IACUC reported that the lab is “usually very good at checking the animals daily” so there was “no reported concern” regarding the incident.

The same letter describes another incident in which two voles were left in a cage without a water bottle, causing both animals to die. The report explains that an animal care technician discovered the cage did not have a water bottle and, upon looking inside, saw one animal dead and another that appeared sick.

After the animal care technician notified his supervisor and the veterinary technician, food and water were added immediately to the cage. The veterinary technician then contacted the veterinarian and the lab supervisor. The sick animal was euthanized, the letter said. A review determined that multiple cages on the same rack had low water levels the day before.

“Animal care staff probably forgot to replace the water bottle,” according to the report.

Yerkes Chief of Public Affairs Lisa Newbern wrote in an Oct. 13 email to the Wheel that the vole incidents occurred in May 2017. A July 27 IACUC letter to the NIH describes a third animal death in which an animal was accidentally euthanized. Newbern said that the animal was a rhesus monkey.

According to the letter, someone had entered the wrong animal identification code into the euthanasia schedule. The protocol requires “faculty” to verify the identification code with the tattoo and physical location of the animal, but since the euthanasia schedule was used as the source document, no one realized the mistake until after the procedure was completed. The monkey that staff accidentally euthanized was on a “research protocol” that included euthanasia but the monkey

had not yet undergone any experimental procedures.

The Yerkes Center reported the incidents to the NIH because all the animals were involved in studies that received federal grants. Institutions are required to report “any serious or continuing noncompliance” with the Public Health Service Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.

Watchdog group Stop Animal Exploitation Now (SAEN) filed a formal complaint Sept. 30 with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) demanding the Yerkes Center receive the maximum allowable fine under the Animal Welfare Act. The Wheel filed a Freedom of Information Act request for inspection reports, complaints, violations and emails related to animal deaths since January 2016, but the request was not fulfilled by press time. Michael Budkie, executive director of SAEN, has filed complaints against Emory and alleged negligence before. Budkie filed complaints in October 2016 and September 2015 citing other instances of accidental animal deaths at Yerkes.

“The Yerkes National Primate Research Center takes full responsibility for the care and well-being of our center’s animals,” Newbern wrote.

“Yerkes employees are as dedicated to the highest quality animal care and enrichment as they are to fighting disease and improving human health.”

Newbern added that Yerkes has already taken corrective action and noted that Yerkes has held accreditation from the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International for more than 30 years.

“In all cases, the Emory IACUC determined the incidents were individual concerns and not reflective of the center’s overall excellent animal care program,” Newbern wrote.

the EEmS program is open to Emory students, staff, faculty or almni who posess current georgia licensure as an advanced Emt or paramedic.

EEMS’ Failure to Notify Public a ‘Lapse,’ Watson Says Continued from Page 1 calls at the start of the fall semester, according to an Aug. 16 email Barnhard sent to EEMS volunteers, which was forwarded to the Wheel by Barnhard.

EEMS administrators, including Barnhard, last year’s and this year’s student command staffs, Assistant Vice President for Public Safety Craig Watson and Vice President for Campus Services Matthew Early had discussed a halt in EEMS, Barnhard said.

After discussing the possibility of a delay with last year’s and this year’s student command staffs, Barnhard submitted a recommendation to halt EEMS to Watson, and they all signed off on the decision over the summer.

During the suspension, EEMS volunteers have been training with new protocols, medications and technologies, including an automatic CPR compression machine, Barnhard added.

EEMS did not announce the halt in service to the Emory community.

Both Barnhard and Watson acknowledged that the lack of a public notification was a mistake.

“We own that,” Watson said. “That’s our lapse.”

Barnhard said the most common response from Emory community members who discovered the hiatus was that they were unaware of the delay and they “wish [they] would’ve

known ahead of time.”

During EEMS’ hiatus, DeKalb County has continued to provide emergency response services to the Emory community.

Barnhard said that no particular event prompted the delay, which EEMS had been discussing for several years.

Approximately 35 EEMS volunteers are still training for an average of three hours a week, Barnhard said.

Barnhard said EEMS will likely restart operations in November, provided that the majority of EEMS providers demonstrate competency in the new protocols.

According to the Aug. 16 email sent to volunteers from Barnhard, EEMS was scheduled to resume some operations in October, but Barnhard said that the start date was pushed back within the last two weeks.

“It’s been a minimally moving target because of things like human factors, hurricanes [and] fall break,” Barnhard said.

Once they resume services, EEMS responders will not immediately resume responding to all calls, Barnhard said.

EEMS personnel will instead resume 24/7 coverage during peak times such as weekends when EEMS fields some of its highest-risk student calls.

EEMS will gradually add days to its

coverage until it has returned to providing 24/7 responses, Barnhard said.

Emory Police Department (EPD) Sgt. John Harper wrote in an Oct. 16 email to the Wheel that the change in EEMS operations has not impacted how EPD responds to calls.

Despite its current out-of-service status, EEMS will provide its usual medical standby services at three major events during the month of October, including the 2017 Winship Win the Fight 5K Run/Walk and both Homecoming concerts.

EEMS was established in 1992 and is operated by volunteers. The program is open to Emory students, staff, faculty or alumni who possess current Georgia licensure as an Advanced EMT (AEMT) or paramedic, according to the EEMS website.

The program works in coordination with local emergency medical, fire and police services to provide emergency medical care to Emory and the surrounding community, according to the website.

EEMS became the first licensed collegiate medical first responder service in Georgia, the website said.

Carter Urges Talks, Not Threats, in Handling N. Korea By molly Ball Contributing Writer

Former U.S. President and University Distinguished Professor Jimmy Carter, whose administration normalized relations with China, called for peaceful talks with the North Korean regime in contrast to President Donald J. Trump’s more aggressive approach.

“Obviously, we should be talking to them and trying to find some common ground rather than threaten[ing] a nuclear war,” Carter said.

Carter’s remarks were part of an event that focused on the topics of “Love thy neighbor” and the media.

Hosted by an Emory Filmmaking Practicum course, the event drew about 30 students to the Theater Lab in Schwarz Center.

Trump has repeatedly threatened the regime with military action and insulted North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

Trump tweeted Oct. 7: “Presidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years, agreements made and mas-

sive amounts of money paid … hasn’t worked, agreements violated before the ink was dry, makings fools of U.S. negotiators. Sorry, but only one thing will work!”

Carter recalled forgiving a member of the press who had acquired one of his debate-briefing notebooks used to prepare for the Oct. 28, 1980 presidential debate and given it to his opponent, Ronald Reagan.

Reagan went on to win the presidency that year.

“One of the famous newspaper columnists ... participated [in] stealing a notebook that I was going to use in my debate against Reagan, with whom I contested for the presidency,” Carter said. “And he took my notebook, all my notes [on] what I was going to use against Reagan, and he taught Reagan how to use it to my disadvantage.”

Carter acknowledged the press has been largely supportive of his goals to improve peace and human rights around the world.

“When I wanted to concentrate as president on peace and human rights, those two things caused many to look upon [these two objectives] as weak-

nesses,” Carter said. “But the media has [since] supported my commitment to peace. [That] would have been impossible unless the overwhelming influx of media was on my side.”

“We should be talking to [North Korea] and trying to find some common ground rather than threaten[ing] a nuclear war.”

— Jimmy Carter, Former U.S. President In the era of “fake news,” Carter called for media organizations to engage in criticism if other outlets are publishing false information.

“I think many people just accept the fact that some political leaders are going to depart deliberately from the truth and that, maybe the media that supports it, whether Democrat or

Republican, might orient the facts or distort the facts to [covet] the candidacy or encompass it and I think that’s a fairly recent development of news,” Carter said.

Carter discussed his thoughts on the media the same day Trump threatened to revoke NBC News’ broadcast license after they published a report he deemed “fake news,” according to the The New York Times.

Although Trump has been criticized for his candid Twitter posts, when prompted whether he would have used the platform during his presidency, Carter said, “Certainly, I would have.”

Carter’s interview will be used in a video in which a Muslim mother, a Baptist minister, several Emory professors and Carter answer questions from the Filmmaking Practicum students. “[The video] will have its own website and it’ll have its own media presence, hopefully by the beginning of December,” Film and Media Studies Professor Rob Schmidt Barracano told the Wheel.

Carter’s talk was part of the Love

Your Neighbor Project, a filmmaking project by students in the Filmmaking Practicum course.

“The Love Your Neighbor Project is a collection of ruminations on the Biblical concept of ‘love thy neighbor,’ ” Barracano said. “We decided to work on [this] project since the presidential election because we were seeing real conflict in the country.”

Filmmaking Practicum student Dalia Caudle (18C) expressed surprise at how in-depth Carter went in his answers.

“We knew he had knowledge on the Biblical concept of Love Thy Neighbor from teaching Sunday School, so to hear his perspective and how in tune it was with our goal for our past film was inspiring,” Caudle said.

The class allowed some audience members to ask Carter preselected questions.

“I looked forward to it the whole night,” audience member Giovanni Mella (21C) said. “[Carter] lightened up the entire room with his big smile.”

Roland Declines to Name Who Was Responsible for Van Booking Intergovernment Continued from Page 1 according to Senior Director of Civic and Community Engagement James Roland.

Alternative Breaks are student-run service trips that occur during fall and spring breaks and are intended to “create meaningful student development experiences” while meeting “needs identified by various agency partners,” according to the Volunteer Emory (VE) website.

Roland declined to state who was responsible for booking the vans or whether a reservation had been made with Enterprise Rent-A-Car, the preferred rental agency vendor at Emory.

VE Advisor and Assistant Director for Community Engagement Courtney Jones-Stevens and VE Director of Alternative Breaks Phuong Tran (18C) declined to provide comment about the cancellation of the trips, citing heavy workloads.

Both Jones-Stevens and Tran redirected the Wheel to Roland.

When the Wheel asked Roland if Emory had made van reservations, he declined to provide a “yes” or “no” answer, but said that Emory had communicated with Enterprise.

A total of seven trips had been planned to improve issues of children’s health, environmental justice, homelessness, food insecurity and health inequities, but all were canceled due to “complications with renting vans,” according to the Oct. 6 email sent to participants from JonesStevens and Tran.

When asked when the organization impressed with the students being discovered the error, Roland told able to understand that when we have the Wheel that he was “not in the adversity and challenges, that we try place to talk about that” because the to resolve them the best way we can,” information was part of “internal Roland said. “I think what they saw from our office was an attempt to communications.”

Roland later clarified that his use resolve it the best we could under of the word “internal” referred to the the circumstances. I’m sure you could Emory community as a whole but still find outliers, if you look hard enough, you will find some students that are declined to provide the information.

“I was really disappointed because Roland.

“I think, by and large, I’ve been work, caught up on sleep and watched

Netflix.”

Brandford said that she requested and received a full refund.

“I found that it was pretty disorganized that they hadn’t figured out their transportation in advance,” Brandford added.

Amy Huang (20C), a co-leader for the homelessness trip, also expressed disappointment that the trip was canceled.

She said that she hopes to lead an Alternative Break in the future and complete the trip she had planned for this fall.

Huang said that she devoted significant time and effort to preparation for the trip. “[I] put on a fundraising night, … contacted community partners, booked them, found housing, made a schedule, kept track of participant information and planned a full itinerary,” Huang said.

Huang said that she decided to return home for fall break after she received notice of the cancellation.

Although Huang said she would not be deterred from leading another alternative break trip in the future, she said she understood that this error was a “pretty big slip through the cracks” that might justifiably “impact freshmen and their decisions to go on [alternative] breaks in the future.”

Patterns of Club Negligence Worrisome During fall break, many Emory students headed to their hometowns or rewarded themselves with a relaxing four-day weekend, but 70 students elected to devote their time to one of seven alternative break trips organized by Volunteer Emory (VE). But students who had signed up and paid their fees received unfortunate news the morning before the trips’ scheduled departure: All trips were canceled because VE had failed to secure shuttles.

VE student leaders and their advisers were neglectful in planning these trips. Assistant Director for Community Engagement and Coordinator of Alternative Breaks Courtney Jones-Stevens and Director of Alternative Breaks Phuong Tran (18C) meet regularly and have a responsibility to ensure the success of the biannual service trips. Weeks of preparation lead up to the trips, yet Jones-Stevens’ and Tran’s inattention to transportation — a vital detail — resulted in the unexpected cancellation of all seven trips and wasted trip co-leaders’ time.

Jones-Stevens meets with the VE Board of Directors weekly; clearly, attentive and effective supervision would have prevented such a major blip so late in the programming.

VE’s mistake is illustrative of a larger trend — the failure of club advisers to supervise club proceedings.

While students are responsible for their own mistakes,

the role of a club adviser is to manage club undertakings that often affect the student body at large.

To take on that role, advisers should have experience in managing a budget and organizing events. This past weekend, College Council (CC) Advisor Sarah Beth Potter failed to notice that CC had booked the 2017 Atlanta Pride Parade shuttles for Oct. 14 instead of Oct. 15, the actual date of the parade, leaving students without Emory-sponsored transportation despite CC’s advertised shuttles to the parade. Arguably with the most extreme repercussions, Student Programming Council (SPC) Advisor Vernon Smith failed to check that SPC had booked Migos with a credible agency, resulting in SPC losing $37,500 of student money in its deposit.

Each of these errors had considerable consequences for Emory students. It is imperative that each club adviser take their duty seriously and recognize the potential impacts of negligence — and teach their advisees to do so as well.

But just like student government members who violate proper procedures, advisers who miss important details must be held accountable by club leadership and should be subject to dismissal if deemed unfit. Mistakes happen, but this pattern of fiascos should be a red flag to administrators and student government that clubs must do more to earn their funding.

Boris Niyonzima is a Volunteer Emory staff member and recused himself from this piece.

Wheel Seeks to Inform, Not Ingratiate It is no secret that the Wheel, like all newspapers, has its fair number of critics. Our articles revolve around the Emory community, and consequently, we often report on situations in which students have acted controversially or broken rules and comment critically on these situations.

But our first obligation is to our readers, and it is our responsibility to relay the information and truth to our greatest capability — we have no intentions of being vindictive toward any individual or group, but it’s not our job to protect students, either.

One of the core functions of a newspaper, according to the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics to which the Wheel adheres, is to “be vigilant and courageous about holding those with power accountable.

Give voice to the voiceless.” News flash — not all of this information is sunny and pleasant.

Each student’s perception of the Wheel reflects their role on campus. Students who are members of Greek life may feel attacked when we discuss fraternity or sorority issues. Likewise, student government legislators may feel victimized by the Wheel.

There will always be conflicts between a government

or organization and any independent news sources that cover it.

Though we both aim to serve the student body, the Wheel’s goal as a newspaper is different from any student government’s goals as a government. In the same way, U.S. news sources are motivated by different forces than the politicians they cover.

But that does not mean that The New York Times should give President Donald J. Trump a break and stop reporting. CNN should not stop releasing breaking news to salvage individuals’ feelings. Likewise, the Wheel cannot turn a blind eye when a Greek organization is under investigation by its national headquarters.

When SPC was conned by fake Migos bookers, it would have been unacceptable for the Wheel to let it off the hook and withhold news coverage.

No institution or media organization is without faults. The Wheel strives to be as accurate, transparent and ethical as possible but has produced flawed articles that warrant criticism. We encourage any member of the Emory community who takes issue with the Wheel in any capacity to stop aimlessly complaining about it to friends and, instead, step up and write about it.

Solving the Mass Shooter Problem Grant Osborn

In the past month, 90 million American gun owners didn’t kill anyone. But that fact didn’t matter to the 59 men and women who died in the Las Vegas shooting two weeks ago. It didn’t matter to the 49 people murdered at an Orlando nightclub in June 2016.

It didn’t matter to the 20 children from Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Mass., who were slaughtered in December 2012.

The United States is the only developed country in the world that suffers mass shootings seemingly every few weeks. Although gun violence is on the decline in the U.S., the fact that we have data on the frequency of mass shootings ought to trigger at least some action by our government — especially when we have seen other countries solve this problem with techniques within our capacity.

We need, in this country, a massive government buyback of guns.

In 1996, Australia witnessed the single largest slaughter of innocent civilians via mass shooting up to that point in history. Within months of the Port Arthur massacre, in which 35 people were killed and 23 were wounded, Australia witnessed the single largest government buyback of firearms up to that point in history, forcing all gun owners to sell their firearms to the government for a full refund. Since 1996, Australia has sustained just one mass shooting in 2014 when Geoff Hunt murdered his wife and three children.

In 2014, China suffered one of the most violent armed attacks in its recent history. Eight perpetrators wielding knives killed 31 innocent civilians in the Kunming Railway Station — that’s fewer than four victims per assailant, compared to the dozens who have been killed by one criminal with a gun in the U.S. In one sense, supporters of our current lax gun control laws are right: Increased gun control will never cure the wretchedness of some small portion of the populace, but when those people don’t have access to guns, they are relegated to fewer murders per person.

Every time there is a mass shooting in this country, the pro-gun lobby trots out the same shallow lines that could have been thought up by, in the enlightened prose of London Mayor Boris Johnson, any “great supine protoplasmic invertebrate jellies.”

“The only thing stopping a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun,” claimed National Rifle Association (NRA) Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre in wake of the Sandy Hook shooting. How eerily reminiscent of the Wild West. Surely we can come up with a better solution to our gun fetish than to have vigilantes roaming the streets, guns cocked and loaded. Other countries don’t need gunslingers running around the country because other countries don’t have citizens with guns in the first place. If the last 20 years of mass shootings have taught us anything, it’s that more guns won’t solve our gun problem.

“More gun control is more of

what won’t work,” declared Paul Jenkins, a columnist for the Anchorage Daily Planet online newspaper in an op-ed published five days after the Las Vegas shooting.

After all, Chicago has the strongest gun control laws in the country, as well as one of the highest homicide rates — a strong inductive argument. However, most of these guns were purchased outside the state of Illinois. Stringent gun laws in Chicago only force its residents to make the 37-minute car ride to Gary, Ind., to buy their guns.

The purpose of the Second Amendment is “to ensure that people are able to protect themselves from tyranny” according to 65 percent of participants in a 2013 national telephone survey by Rasmussen Reports. Maybe it was in 1789. But today, our government controls tanks, stealth bombers, fighter jets that travel at twice the speed of sound, a large enough nuclear arsenal to make the whole world uninhabitable 10 times over, 10 aircraft carriers, an oil reserve extensive enough to engage in a year-long war, dozens of satellites ... and I’m only scratching the surface. With an AR-15 rifle and a Coors Light, a decent shot might be able to hit a stationary target 80 percent of the time, but you won’t be able to shoot down an F-22 Raptor like General Patton circa 1942.

If citizens really care about government tyranny, maybe we should exercise another right — the right to vote. The U.S. consistently has one of the lowest rates of voter turnout in the developed world.

I can buy a handgun in the U.S. for less than $200. In Australia, try $15,000. The big guns that can actually deal some serious damage to a crowd cost even more — so much more that criminals in Australia reportedly started sharing firearms in 2014 instead of buying their own.

Not only is there a whole clandestine black market to navigate in other countries but there’s an obscenely high price tag that would disqualify most people from even being able to afford to plan a mass shooting.

There are only a few legitimate claims for gun ownership. One is protection against home invasion. But data have consistently shown that having a gun in the house, regardless of the reason, is more likely to cause harm to family members rather than prevent it.

Another valid claim belongs to hobbyists, whether they be hunters, collectors or the like. Remember Australia? They solved this one, too. Australia has a permit system that allows people to buy firearms for express purposes after navigating somewhat extensive red tape. The process is elaborate but essentially ensures that buyers intend to use their firearms for legitimate reasons and distributes licenses from there.

The U.S. has a long history of gun culture. While a buyback like the Australian one would be deeply controversial and divisive, that isn’t a reason not to try it. There is nothing stopping us from placing a one-year moratorium on gun use pending the data from that year.

If the proponents of the buyback are right and there is no decline in gun violence, then we should return every last gun back to their original owners. But there is simply no reason to believe a decline in violence wouldn’t occur. We can’t take any more half-measures or superficial policy changes; if we do, we will continue to pay for them with the lives of concertgoers, nightclubbers and children.

Atlanta Marijuana Penalties Lowered

The Emory Wheel

Convenience Overrides MARTA’s Reputation Kellen McCarthy

Rose Kuan/Staff

Letter to the Editor Charlotte Selton Contrary to Grant Osborn’s (19C) recent column, the NFL is not silencing conservative speech. The NFL forbids athletes from altering their uniforms in remembrance of 9/11 and the 2016 mass shooting of Dallas police because it has strict uniform policies, not because it has a political agenda.

I was horrified that this article categorized mourning 9/11 and the 2016 Dallas shooting as conservative positions rather than American ones.

Liberal or conservative, we all grieve for lives lost — acts of remembrance are patriotic, not partisan. The NFL allowed Colin Kaepernick to kneel but opposed other expressions of mourn-

ing which violated its regulations. NFL uniforms cannot be altered to display personal causes, a reasonable requirement since uniforms constitute part of the NFL brand that athletes are paid to represent. The NFL only suggests, rather than mandates, that athletes stand during the anthem; if Kaepernick had attempted to alter his uniform, he too would have faced penalties.

Osborn’s other example of NFL censorship of “conservative speech” was the threat to exclude Atlanta from Super Bowl host consideration should Georgia have passed the euphemistically-termed “religious liberty” bill.

In effect, that law would have legalized anti-LGBT discrimination. Unless there are no gay or allied NFL employees or fans, the NFL has a vested interest in preventing that legislation’s pas-

sage. If the bill had succeeded, the NFL should have avoided choosing Atlanta to host the Super Bowl as the inevitable boycott by fans and advertisers would have significantly reduced revenues.

The NFL is not favoring liberal thought over conservative thought.

Instead, it is merely upholding its rules and prioritizing its brand. The NFL allowed Kaepernick’s protest because it was within the rules. Should players take a knee to commemorate 9/11 or the 2016 Dallas shootings, that too would be a permissible expression of the athletes’ views. Accusation of censorship should not be made idly, so consider all the facts before declaring the NFL discriminatory.

Charlotte Selton is a College sophomore from Sacramento, Calif.

During the first month of my freshman year at Emory, my phone broke. No one was free to drive me, I couldn’t use the Uber app and I didn’t have a car. I was helpless.

So I took the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), Atlanta’s primary system of public transit, to LifeLine Repairs on Briarcliff Road. Since then, my phone has remained mostly intact, and I continue to use MARTA to travel around the city.

My confidence in public transportation may seem strange to some, as MARTA’s buses and trains have an infamous reputation for being slow, unreliable and unsafe. Yet for all the complaints about its limited routes and underfunding, MARTA’s affordability and the availability of bus routes around campus make it a convenient form of transportation that more Emory students should use.

Consider another example: It is winter break, and you are trying to get to Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport to fly home.

You live in Longstreet-Means Hall and take an Uber. According to the Uber fare estimator, that ride from 646 Means Drive to the airport will cost about $19 to $25. The price may seem inconsequential, especially if the fare is split among friends, but the same trip taken on MARTA would have only cost $2.50 after taking Route 6 and using a free transfer to board a train on the Red or Gold line.

That is a considerable chunk of change to save. Atlanta is known for being a mess of traffic, and while MARTA has a set price for both its buses and train and a guarantee of two free transfers to other lines, Uber is subject to surge pricing when there is a high demand for rides.

Uber’s website lists surge prices as 1.8 to 2.8 times the regular fare.

Students without cars are not the only ones who can benefit from MARTA, as Emory parking permits aren’t cheap. A student pass costs $672 per year, with some of its value lost for students who don’t stay at Emory over

the summer. Parking around the city attaches an additional fee, and introduces the horrors of parallel parking.

Taking MARTA instead of a personal vehicle may have a time tradeoff, but that’s not always the case, as speed is strongly dependent on traffic in Atlanta. Depending on where you’re going, MARTA can be just as fast as a car — if not faster — during rush hour congestion. With multiple MARTA bus stops around campus and up the Clifton Corridor, it is a shame to ignore such a resource. Route 6, also known as the Emory line, passes through Little Five Points on its way south and ends in Inman Park, which is within walking distance of Edgewood, Krog Street Market and the Beltline, all popular spots for Emory students.

Riding north takes you to Lindbergh Center, which has a MARTA train station that connects the Emory line to the rest of the city’s MARTA stops through the Red and Gold rail lines.

Students who fear that MARTA is unsafe or unpleasant should put those thoughts aside. MARTA’s overall crime rate in 2016 was down 13 percent from the previous year, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC). When the AJC compared MARTA’s crime rate to the crime rate of public transportation systems in Boston, San Francisco and Washington D.C., it found that MARTA had one of the lowest crime rates, second only to Boston. As for the experience, it is true there are a few strange characters on every couple of trips; however, that is characteristic of public transportation in any major city.

MARTA has its fair share of problems, but they are symptomatic of Atlanta’s sprawling city structure. Winding roads, the absence of a grid system and the Atlanta’s reliance on oneway streets and parallel roads make the city hard to navigate. However, while the system is not perfect by any means, MARTA is actively working to expand its routes to better serve its customers. So set aside your preconceived notions and qualms about its reputation, and give MARTA a chance.

Cellphone Privacy Laws: Big Brother’s in Your Pocket Jonathan Hamrick If the U.S. Supreme Court’s previous term was like canned pork and beans, then the upcoming term will be like a Kobe beef steak.

This upcoming term, in other words, is full of blockbuster cases.

One such case is Carpenter v.

United States, which addresses whether acquiring a person’s cell-site location information (CSLI) without a warrant constitutes a search and seizure and, therefore, violates the Fourth Amendment. But most importantly, the issues raised by Carpenter require the Court to revisit a controlling principle that’s stifled privacy advocates for decades: the third-party doctrine.

Under the third-party doctrine, a person has no reasonable expectation of privacy in information conveyed voluntarily to a third party and, therefore, no Fourth Amendment protection. If a person discloses information to a third party, such as a bank or phone company, the police can legally acquire that information without a warrant and use it in a criminal proceeding.

For years, the Supreme Court has grappled with applying decades-old principles to contemporary situations. Now, the Court will again have to either extend or redefine a long-followed constitutional rule, either broadening or constricting our constitutional right to privacy.

When the Court originally established the third-party principle, it based its conclusion partially on the idea that the information being

disclosed was of limited sensitivity.

Smartphone technology has eroded that reasoning. Because cell phones possess and reveal sensitive information about the users, and because CSLI enables the government to watch our movements with alarming precision, the third-party doctrine isn’t equipped for the 21st century.

Cell phones are ubiquitous; they are our lifelines and arguably becoming more important than laptops and desktop computers. Similar to GPS tracking, CSLI can reveal private activities, like visits to “an abortion clinic, AIDS treatment center, [or] strip club.”

Every time we use our cell phones, we leave behind traces in the ether.

Cellular companies capture those digital fragments and record our cellular activities. That’s what the Carpenter case is about. Whenever someone accesses a cellular network, their phone connects to a nearby cell tower, which logs the phone’s location. Location information stemming from phone calls, text messages and everyday internet connections are recorded and housed with the service provider. It’s just the type of digital gold mine police salivate over.

The facts of the case are simple: Without a warrant, the police acquired four months’ worth of CSLI from 2010 and 2011, analyzed the data, and deduced and pinpointed Timothy Carpenter’s precise location. Investigators used the findings at trial to show that Carpenter had been in the vicinity of the various Ohio and Michigan T-Mobile and Radio Shack locations which were robbed and subsequently

convicted him of armed robbery.

Sounds straightforward, but the police’s actions raise fundamental constitutional issues.

The Fourth Amendment forbids unreasonable searches and seizures.

To qualify as a search, there must either be an intrusion into a space where a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy or a physical trespass into a constitutionally protected area.

Applying a wooden, creaky principle not fitted for the digital era might have grave privacy implications — and not just for alleged criminals.

The Court articulated the principle in Smith v. Maryland. In Smith, the police placed a pen register — a device that records the phone numbers a person dials — with a telephone company.

For several days the defendant’s phone activity was logged without a warrant and then used against him at trial.

From the Court’s view, the defendant had no reasonable expectation of privacy in the information (telephone numbers, in this case) because he voluntarily disclosed to the thirdparty phone company. This was partly because telephone numbers reveal little-to-no sensitive information about the person placing the calls; therefore, the Fourth Amendment’s

shell couldn’t protect him.

But smartphones are a different animal entirely. Cell phones and GPS rest on a different constitutional footing than a check stub, pen register or accursed road map.

In Riley v. California, Chief Justice John Roberts recognized that “modern cell phones are not just another technological convenience. With all they contain and all they may reveal, [smartphones] hold for many Americans ‘the privacies of life.’” But most tellingly, in her perceptive concurrence from United States v. Jones (a case concerning GPS tracking), Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor acknowledged the issues surrounding the third-party exception; she found it “ill suited to the digital age.”

CSLI also enables police to track who a person called or messaged or what website they visited, while concurrently pinpointing that person’s exact location. If monitored long enough, police can paint a detailed portrait of someone’s life.

Bearing all that in mind, it’s crystalline that the third-party doctrine shouldn’t apply in Carpenter.

Acquiring four months’ worth of CSLI enabled police to monitor Carpenter’s life with precision. This tactic invaded not only his privacy but also the privacy of innocent individuals he associated with — such an invasion was clearly not innocuous.

Crafting a principled exception to this rule could bar both prolonged GPS and CSLI surveillance, while leaving the third-party doctrine undisturbed. Moreover, targeting the longevity of CSLI tracking

would also comport with the principles expressed in Riley and Jones.

But these are mere musings; courts are better equipped to fashion such rules, and, of course, CSLI is an invaluable resource for law enforcement. They should surely use it — just snag a warrant first.

Doubtless, the third-party doctrine’s place in our constitutional history is sturdy. But applying a wooden, creaky principle not fitted for the digital era might have grave privacy implications — and not just for alleged criminals. For example, some note CSLI’s possible effect on journalists’ First Amendment rights; due to a risk of exposing sources, it may hinder a journalist’s ability to acquire truthful information, report efficiently and disclose valuable information in a way that adequately keeps the public abreast of important issues. Endorsing this warrantless law-enforcement conduct is plainly myopic and averse to some of our basic constitutional principles.

I strongly doubt Americans would trade their constitutional democracy for an Orwellian-style government, allowing Big Brother to dine with them at their table or stalk them during a Netflix rendezvous. Such a government would make Stalin sing “Hymn to the Bolshevik Party” from his grave, and it offends a sacred constitutional value: the right to be let alone.

This term is going to be actionpacked, and I fully intend to sit back and enjoy the Kobe beef steak. But I’d rather do it without Big Brother’s company.

From Heritage Spirit To Homecoming Survives Without Football

By Monica Lefton Senior Staff Writer

Every year for Homecoming, students and alumni alike flock home to their college campuses, cheer on their football teams and celebrate the institution they chose to call home for four years.

But due to Emory’s lack of a football team (despite what shirts from the bookstore might claim), homecoming traditions here found a different path.

A look back into old Emory yearbooks reveals the history of homecoming traditions at the university.

Emory’s first major celebration of its history was Heritage Week in 1982.

The 1982 Emory yearbook, titled “Double Take,” contains a short, three-

paragraph blurb about the event that boasted a “specially designed Heritage Week flag,” an appearance by unofficial mascot Dooley and a Heritage Ball event.

Heritage Week continued in this manner for two years, but after a poor turnout in 1984, the Student Government Association (SGA) cut the week down to just the main event: Heritage Ball.

Heritage Ball was a highly popular, annual event at which students, faculty and alumni donned their best dresses and suits and danced the night away to live music.

Early balls were hosted at the Colony Square Hotel, and later balls

Bone to Pick: Winger Takes All: New Places for Team Dooley Team Swoop By aLex kLugerMan News Editor

In elementary school, I was an eagle. In middle school, I was an eagle. In high school, I was a patriot (basically an eagle). Call it fate that my university of choice crowned me an eagle once again. If I’ve learned anything from these eagle iterations, it is that the mascot is just plain boring! Overdone. Unoriginal. Can anyone name any of Swoop’s traits? He can fly … maybe? He loves America … perhaps, or maybe Emory?In a school that some say is lacking in spirit and traditions, Dooley is a breath of fresh air. Taking on the persona of the current University president — Claire E. Sterk — Dooley is the lady of misrule and represents that bit of mischief in all of us. That little voice in our head telling us to skip our 8:30 a.m. class or go out the night before the midterm? That’s Dooley, and has anyone ever regretted that decision? I haven’t. Not to mention that the Lady of Misrule has a number of achievements to her name.

According to her website, Dooley holds a degree of some sort from every Emory-affiliated school and has been awarded the Highest Honors in Creative Writing, is a member of

Soaring majestically over Emory University’s campus, Swoop motivates crowds and warms the hearts of spirited (and even the unspirited) Emory students.

Swoop’s frame defines his strength. His protruding chest and bulging arm muscles stun the girls, and his stylish hairdo makes other guys jealous.

One can expect to see Swoop at most sports competitions, but Lady Claire E. Dooley is only present at “special” events. That demonstrates that Swoop is committed to the Emory community, unlike Dooley, who only participates when she feels like it.

Dooley’s inability to speak for herself leaves her stuck in the mud. But worst of all, Dooley needs a plethora of body guards because her puny, fragile bones aren’t enough for protection.

People boast of tales of Dooley being kidnapped, but her capture actually demonstrates weakness and need for body guards. Swoop would never be captured because he can overpower anyone and, at any time, fly home to Emory.

MUSIC

More Than a Dress Code: Unraveling the Plain White T’s By janvi panMani Contributing Writer “Hey There Delilah” is the classic that pervaded our generation’s MP3 player’s playlist.

Awfully romantic, the simple acoustic pop song asks the speaker’s object of affection to patiently wait for the speaker to establish himself so they can be together.

Fun fact: “Hey There Delilah” was written for real-life nationally-ranked runner Delilah DiCrescenzo, who was never actually in a relationship with frontman Tom Higgenson but did attend the 2008 Grammy Awards as his guest.

The lyrics lend themselves to raw and powerful emotions, especially at the bridge, justifying the perpetual place of “Hey There Delilah” in the hearts of all millennials.

But for those interested in being able to sing along to more than just “Hey There Delilah” come Saturday’s Homecoming concert on McDonough Field, here are a few of their songs worth learning. “write you a song” “Write you a Song” tells the story of a man unable to provide his partner with material goods.

Higgenson accounts for the lack of “big diamond rings” and “a house” in their relationship by promising to

write her a song, presumably this one.

It’s got some playful guitar chords and big vocals in the chorus, and the lyrics are memorable, making it an easy song to learn before Saturday.

“Write You a Song” is full of sweet sentiments, invoking the message that it’s the thought that counts — although I know I’d pick material goods over a song in a heartbeat.

‘Write You a Song’ is full of sweet sentiments, invoking the message that it’s the thought that counts.

“take Me away” This song is the speaker’s jealous response to seeing an old flame at a party with someone else.

He asks to be taken away because he “can’t take this abuse.”

Rage and envy become apparent themes in “Take Me Away” when he demands, “What does this guy do / That I can’t do?”

The emotions in this song are fairly universal, even if they’re a bit on the angstier side.

The Plain White T’s, known for their hit song ‘Hey There delilah,’ are set to headline the homecoming concert. “rhythM of Love” Students may remember this track from its short run on popular radio as a follow-up to the platinum hit “Hey There Delilah,” officially pulling the Plain White T’s out of one-hit-wonder status. “Rhythm of Love” has simple but catchy hooks and lyrics, making it a quality tune overall.

Sung by Tim Lopez, lead guitarist, the ballad discusses the ephemeral

nature of a relationship.

Lyrics like “We may only have tonight / But till the morning sun you’re mine” make you wonder what exactly is holding the lovebirds apart.

Does Lopez sing about the last night of a long and meaningful relationship?

author of “Out of the Grandstand and Onto the Playing Field.”

The “baseball nine” traveled east in April 1886 to play the University of Georgia, but lost 12-1.

When Emory trustees heard about reports of gambling at the event, they moved to ban Emory students from leaving campus to play sports.

Then-College President Warren A. Candler pushed that action further, issuing a ban on all intercollegiate sports in the College in 1891.

Students could participate in football in intramural competitions, but Emory was left out of the intercollegiate football craze sweeping colleges in the Southeast.

In 1915, Emory College moved to Atlanta and found its footing as Emory University.

Still under the leadership of Candler, restrictions on intercollegiate sports remained.

Students who were previously preoccupied with ‘rural games’ and building the J. P. Williams Gymnasium were soon very aware of their intramural-only status in city of Atlanta, become upset and more outspoken on the matter.

The Emory Wheel’s first issue from the Atlanta campus, in December 1919, devoted its front page to Emory intramural football and printed, “For a Greater Emory and Intercollegiate Athletics” above the paper’s masthead.

With the hiring of Ray K. Smathers as track coach and director of athletics in 1921, Emory began competing in intercollegiate track and basketball — but not football.

Even though Emory lacked a football team, students could find physical release in the game of pushball, which was played between freshmen and sophomore classes from 1923 to 1955.

The Emory history website describes that the sport “[involved] a 180-pound leather ball.” Pushball was ultimately “discontinued because of its injurious nature.”

During Jeff D. McCord’s term as athletics director in the 1930s, basketball was the most popular campus sport.

Emory offered basketball, tennis, golf and swimming at the intercollegiate level.

The University offered other sports, including football, baseball, boxing, fencing, archery and volleyball, at an intramural level.

In 1942, Emory’s 15th president and former dean of the college Goodrich C. White played as a quarterback for the University’s intramural football team while attending Emory as a student.

In October 1945, Emory’s trustees made another public statement on athletics, restating their “traditional stand against major intercollegiate sports,” while still supporting athletics and physical education, Rozier wrote.

Emory’s intramural sports were well known and continually respected. In 1951, a local newspaper published an article that Emory reported that had more students taking part in sports than any other school, with about 500 men playing tackle football and 36 playing touch.

Tackle football fell from the intramural sports roster in 1956.

Other intramural programs, notably swimming and soccer, continued to grow in the 1960s, but football never caught on. Student interest and program support continues for these sports today, with women’s swimming holding eight national championships and men’s soccer with seven UAA champions.

One of the victims of such omission is 87-year-old Dolores Huerta, cofounder of the United Farm Workers of America (UFW) and still-working political activist. Director Peter Bratt and PBS present her untold story in the excellent documentary “Dolores,” playing in Atlanta in a limited run at

‘The Comeback Kid’ Does it Again John Mulaney Rocks Atlanta By anniE Uichanco Contributing Writer John Mulaney had me at “College is just a $120,000 hooker that you’re in love with, but she’s not going to do anything for you.”

Known for his stand-up comedy Netflix specials, “New in Town” and “The Comeback Kid,” his writing on “Saturday Night Live” (most notably, the beloved “Stefon” sketch) and Emory’s 2015 Dooley’s Week lineup, the comic veteran took to the stage for a sold-out Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre on Sept. 30 for his North American tour, aptly entitled “Kid Gorgeous.”

Mulaney’s ability to keep a permanent smile etched on my face throughout the night was uncanny. He weaved smoothly in and out of topics ranging from elementary school assemblies to the Catholic Church to the trials of working with Mick Jagger.

Part of Mulaney’s charm and likeability was his honest appeal to a wide

range of ages.

One minute he described contemporary issues, such as the difficulties of meditation in the modern age, and the next he delivered jokes about The Beatles and the absurdity of telephone rooms in the 1940s, which had the older couple in front of me hooting with laughter.

Mulaney’s knowledge of humor that resonates with the older crowd doesn’t surprise me, as he is actually an old man in the body of a debonair 6-foot 12-year-old who claims to be 35.

Even Mulaney enjoys poking fun at his youthful appearance, admitting in “New in Town” that he looks like he was “just sitting in a room, in a chair eating saltines for like 28 years and then [he] walked right out here.”

His innocence, however, only adds to his persona; people don’t expect the shocking outcomes that his hilarious anecdotes often produce.

Peter Maldondado (Tyler Alvarez, lEft) and Dylan Maxwell (Jimmy Tatro, r ight) review evidence regarding Dylan’s alleged criminal escapades.

‘Vandal’ a Genius Phallic Parade

By JakE PErl Contributing Writer

Grade: A+ “Please state your name and who you are.”

A boy with greasy hair, a graphic T-shirt and a hoodie featuring a cupcake design pauses before speaking.

“My name is Dylan Maxwell, and I’m —” He twiddles his thumbs. He looks behind the camera for support.

“I don’t know dude, I’m just Dylan.

What do you mean, ‘Who am I?’ That’s a stupid question.”

And so begins “American Vandal,” the new soon-to-be cult classic from Netflix in partnership with Funny or

Die. Flush with innuendo, self-awareness and unexpected meaning, the eight-episode saga deserves all the praise it will soon accrue.

Film Follows Silenced Story of Civil Rights Hero Continued from Page 14 Chicano movement, which continues the fight for Mexican-American rights to this day.

A lesser film would only focus on those broad sketches, but “Dolores” explores the conflicts and complexities within Huerta’s life. Furthermore, the film isn’t afraid to dive into Huerta’s more controversial sides, particularly as a mother of 11 children with multiple marriages and the unfair criticism she faced for it. One of the film’s most touching sections features interviews with Huerta’s children. They express gratitude for their mother’s work but regret her relative abandonment of them in favor of the movement.

One of the most fascinating conflicts, threaded carefully throughout the entirety of the narrative, revolves around the sexism in the UFW — often directed toward her by her male colleagues.

In particular, Bratt works with Huerta and Chavez’s tempestuous but friendly relationship, showing how Chavez’s status as a man allowed his accomplishments to overshadow hers.

“Dolores” is a thoughtfully intersectional film, examining the spider’s web of factors that led to Huerta’s unjust erasure from the cultural conversation. Equal time is devoted to exploring her identities as a Mexican-American, a woman, a mother and a labor leader as well as the ways those identities interact with one another, the strength they give her and the oppression she suffers because of them.

Right from the opening credits, Bratt makes a bold statement about his intentions with the film. Using a montage of news footage, he openly refuses to let Huerta be written out of

Show Shafts Cliches, Asks Hard Questions Continued from Page 14 spray painting “male sexual organs” on every teacher’s car at Hanover High School.

Unjustly expelled and ridiculed, his only saving grace is sophomore and aspiring documentarian Peter Maldonado (Tyler Alvarez), who takes it upon himself to prove Dylan’s innocence.

What follows is a tour-de-force of drama, empathy and tension, all united under the common umbrella of phallic humor.

Friends become enemies. Enemies become friends.

But at the core of it all, the poignancy of Dylan’s personal struggle never dulls.

His physical punishment, expulsion, only represents his larger issue of societal condemnation. To be clear, Dylan is a social reject.

Along with his group of stoner friends, The Wayback Boyz, he makes YouTube videos including “Baby Farting,” “Nuns Humping Trees” and “Nuns Humping Trees 2.” He goes out of his way to annoy teachers, alienate students and aggravate those around him.

Dylan antagonizes people, but he’s not an antagonist.

The thematic subtext of the series thrives at the delineation between authenticity of character and perceived appearance.

Early in the show, Dylan faces a trial in front of the school board to determine his innocence or his guilt. But as his stepfather Greg (Larry Campbell) later explains, “He wasn’t walking into a trial. He was walking into an execution.”

The board tears Dylan apart, playing his unintelligible YouTube videos in their entirety, listening to biased testimonies against him and denigrating his intelligence.

Though no one can prove that he’s guilty of this particular crime, he becomes a known criminal.

The series never demonstrates that Dylan is a genius, a good Samaritan or even a person undeserving of his status. Instead, the series emphasizes Dylan’s humanity.

Even if his relationship is questionable, he loves his girlfriend.

Even if his friends are unreliable, he trusts them.

Even though he doesn’t take school seriously, he understands the value of education.

In assigning Dylan the title of “stoner” or “dropout,” we limit him to achieve only what that characterization can achieve, trivializing his personal relationships and values.

Though Dylan struggles to cope with others’ perception of him, he is not alone.

Some audience members laugh when we see the hot girl hooking up with the nerd, a linebacker decking the annoyingly active class president and the meek sophomore getting overwhelmed by his first beer (and then his next 10). “American Vandal” portrays these moments in a funny and lighthearted way, but still conveys the consequences.

The hot girl is frustrated that her promiscuity has become a talking point.

The class president breaks her leg.

The meek sophomore ends up in the hospital, nearly dead from alcohol poisoning.

The Emory Wheel

Where most comedies would simply drop the subject after the laugh, “American Vandal” is a continuous punchline interwoven with emotional truth. Sure, it delivers on some fantastic laughs, but it also implores audience members to think about how we empathize with one another.

Some viewers, including myself, knew a “Dylan” in high school who made rash decisions, took pleasure in stupid humor and almost flunked out.

How much of their actions are a result of what we ascribe them to be?

If someone thought of Dylan, the hot girl or the class president as anything more than their labels, could they have changed?

“American Vandal” doesn’t answer those questions.

But in posing them, it challenges viewers to reevaluate how they perceive and treat those whom they often don’t think about.

It’s also got a lot of great d*ck jokes.

This brings us back to the first scene of the show, the perfect opener for what’s to come.

We, behind the camera, instantly ask, “Who are you?” Despite all the humor that comes from Dylan’s blunt honesty, he’s got a point: “It’s a stupid question.”

It takes time to get to know someone authentically, and by attempting to rush that process, people reveal their own naivety.

Throughout the show, viewers get to know Dylan authentically: his problems, his values and, ultimately, his story.

It’s time well spent.

Dolores Huerta, a leader of the Delano grape strike, pictured in California in 1966. history. Conservative TV hosts attempt to belittle her on the basis of her “Republicans hate Latinos” statement at a Texas high school (spoiler alert: they belittle her) only to be drowned out by her accomplishments. Within the first five minutes, Bratt surveys the breadth of Huerta’s life story and complexities in a clear, concise manner full of vigor — a mirror to the film’s brevity and tonal attitude.

The only true issue with “Dolores” is just how much of a conventional biographical documentary it is. For a figure as heroically subversive as Huerta, a more compelling, formally radical approach (such as Raoul Peck’s direction of “I Am Not Your Negro”) would have been a better fit — and much deserved one.

Instead, she and the audience are treated to a standard styling of talkinghead interviews mixed with archival footage. That functions well enough in presenting the narrative, which makes the film more palatable for a wide audience, but ends up making it feel

too much like a high school in-class video at times. Still, the footage is edited seamlessly by Jessica Congdon, with a slick sense of flow that seldom falters in its engaging storytelling.

The incorporation of archival footage is the film’s most interesting component, often juxtaposing pre-existing materials; a particularly powerful scene juxtaposes the sound of a George H.W. Bush speech on peace with the ruthless government putdown of protesters.

The film itself is a form of public service, especially when it would have been easier for Bratt to phone in a simple puff piece.

With all the talk about removing monuments that pay tribute to our past sins, we should be thinking about building statues of people like Dolores Huerta to replace them. First they made a film.

Now, build her a statue.

Comedian Mocks Kids, Catholics, ‘Charlie’ Continued from Page 14 recipe for comedic success included his totally preposterous yet accurateto-a-T descriptions.

My favorite bit explored the dark, underlying messages of the popular children’s film “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” All I can tell you without spoiling the segment is that, at one point, he deemed Charlie’s grandparents “the Mount Rushmore of bedsores” and then furiously mimed beating up Grandpa Joe with a laundry spoon. He ended the segment sweaty and winded.

Despite his self-declared allergy to political jokes, Mulaney dipped his toe into current national events by expanding on a bit he’d previously performed on “The Comeback Kid,” during which he compared President Donald J. Trump to “a horse loose in the hospital.”

Having already seen the Netflix special, I groaned inwardly at the recyclage of old jokes but was pleasantly surprised when he added appropriately to the metaphor, adjusting it to fit with current events.

For instance, he introduced a new part of the metaphor in which the horse is having a stand-off with a hippo over a nuclear bomb.

Mulaney then moved on to more personal subjects, making quips about living with an outspoken Jewish wife, parenting dogs versus children and growing up a member of the Catholic Church.

On denoting differences between his and his wife’s interactions with others, he expressed his need to be liked by everyone in the room while his wife cares absolutely nothing about what others think of her, which resulted in a hilarious episode involving a Best Buy rewards card.

Yet what garnered the most “aw”s from the crowd that night was the mention of his four-year-old daughter: a French bulldog, Petunia.

Eventually, he began to err on the side of sexual dog jokes — much like Dooley’s Week 2017 stand-up comedian Nikki Glaser had done in her routine.

Perhaps this is the new trend in stand-up comedy.

As soon as he’d reached the final punchline and milked the audience of all its laughter, Mulaney took a bow, to which the crowd responded with a standing ovation.

Later, I learned that my UberPool car mates had driven roughly 150 miles from Birmingham, Ala., just to see John Mulaney.

I speak for myself and others sitting around me when I say that his performance — filled with good-quality, oldfashioned, smart humor for everyone — offered a nice distraction from the hardships of day-to-day life.

Mulaney is a must-see — if not in person, at least catch him on Netflix.

Moon'Shines'Bright'at'Oxford' BY#IZZY#ULLMANN Contributing'Writer

After' Emory’s' first6ever' Songfest,' Dean'of'Campus'Life'at'Oxford'College' Joseph'Moon,'who'worked'to'bring'the' event'to'the'Emory'community,'Moon' deemed' it' a' “pretty' modest' but' high' spirited'affair.”'

Freshmen' had' flooded' the' bleach6 ers'on'the'soccer'field,'unsure'of'what' to' expect' from' the' new' event' that' lacked' the' hype' of' the' now6highly' anticipated'event.

“It' was' wide' open' that' year,' we' didn’t'have'a'lot'of'rules,”'Moon'said.'

“This' was' way' before' hip' hop' was' a' thing,' so' it' was' mainly' just' popu6 lar' songs' where' kids' would' put' their' music' and' words' to' it' to' prove' their' building'was'the'best.”

While' Moon' could' not' predict' its' success' at' the' time,' more' than' 30' years' later,' the' event' continues' to' be' a'tradition'that'brings'freshman'resi6 dence'halls'together.

After' graduating' with' a' master’s' degree'from'the'University'of'Georgia' (UGA)'in'1978,'Moon'took'his'first'full6 time'job'working'at'Emory'as'assistant' dean'of'men'and'later'moved'up'to'be' the'first'director'of'residence'life'when' the'campus'made'dorms'coed'in'1980,' an'initiative'he'had'helped'pursue.'

In'1988,'Moon'moved'to'the'Oxford' campus' to' serve' as' Dean' of' Campus' Life' and' in' 1996,' wrote' his' doctor6 al' thesis' for' UGA' on' the' history' of' Oxford.'

Joseph' Moon,' Oxford' College' Dean'of' Campus' Life COURTESY'OF'JOSEPH'MOON

In' addition' to' helping' to' make' Emory'a'coed'university'and'creating' Songfest,'Moon'founded'the'Freshmen' Council,' the' sophomore' adviser' pro6 gram'and'the'Emory'HelpLine.'

“I' have' never' felt' bracketed' by' my' specific' duties' as' an' administrator,”' Moon'said.'“I'see'it'as'a'terrific'oppor6 tunity' to' be' apart' of' the' students’' learning' experience' both' in' and' out' the'classroom.”

The' Emory' HelpLine' is' an' anony6

mous' peer' counseling' telephone' hot6 line' that' aids' Emory' students' strug6 gling'with'their'mental'health.'

Moon'worked'with'a'group'of'psy6 chology'professors'and'deans'to'create' a' counseling' resource' since' Emory' was'“extremely'behind”'in'developing' mental' health' services' for' students,' according'to'Moon.'

In' response' to' the' recent' men6 tal' health' issues' of' a' student' at' the' Georgia' Institute' of' Technology' who' was' fatally' shot' by' campus' police,' Moon'said'that'at'Emory,'the'HelpLine' helps'to'ensure'positive'mental'health' of' students,' and' “now' both' Atlanta' and' Oxford' campuses' have' excellent' mental'health'resources'for'students.”'

Diane'Glover'(16Ox,'18C)'attested'to' Moon’s'mentorship'and'determination' to'immerse'himself'in'the'experiences' of'students.

“During'a'retreat'at'his'home,'I'had' decided'to'stay'behind'and'just'shoot' basketballs' and' he' came' and' started' shooting'basketballs'with'me,”'Glover' said.'

“He' started' having' a' conversation' about' my' first' semester' and' how' I' wanted'to'move'forward.”

Even' though' she’s' on' the' Atlanta' campus'now,'Glover'still'finds'herself' emailing' and' texting' Moon' about' the' difficulties'she'experiences'at'Emory.'

“I'…'ask'advice'on'how'to'navigate' things' I' feel' lost' about,”' Glover' said.'

“He'is'more'than'willing'to'answer'by' suggesting' we' meet' in' person' rather' than'texting'or'emailing.”

Moon' said' that' one' of' the' reasons' he'is'passionate'about'being'an'educa6 tor' at' Emory' is' because' of' students’' desires'to'make'change'on'campus.'

For' example,' he' also' had' a' small' role' in' helping' students' to' create' Volunteer' Emory,' a' community' ser6 vice'group.'

“Volunteer'Emory'has'had'a'terrific' impact' on' the' culture' of' Atlanta,' and' this'came'directly'out'of'the'head'and' experience'of'two'[students]'who'were' determined'to'make'this'work,”'Moon' said.' “But' in' my' work,' it' is' a' weekly' occurrence'that'a'student'says'or'does' something'that'is'powerful'to'me.”'

Moon' stressed' that' all' of' the' pro6 grams' he' created' were' inspired' by' other'schools.'

Programs'such'as'Songfest'and'the' Emory'HelpLine'were'borrowed'from' universities' like' Southern' Methodist'

University' (Texas)' and' Miami' University'(Ohio),'but'were'adapted'to' match'Emory’s'community.'

In' terms' of' the' freshman' experi6 ence,' Moon' said' that' working' at' the' Oxford' campus' has' been' beneficial' for'him'because'he'can'focus'on'fresh6 man' and' sophomore' students.' Moon' emphasized' his' focus' on' creating' a' positive' freshman' experience' for' stu6 dents' because' he' deems' that' time' a' pivotal'point'in'a'student’s'life.'

“In'my'work,'it'is'a' weekly'occurrence' that'a'student'says'or' does'something'that' is'powerful'to'me.”

—Joseph'Moon,'' Oxford'College'Dean'of' Campus'Life Assistant' Dean' and' Director' of' Student' Involvement' and' Leadership' at' Oxford' College' Rhiannon' Hubert' echoed'Moon’s'motivation'to'improve' the' lives' of' freshman' and' sophomore' students.'

“Decades'later'from'the'start'of'his' career' at' Oxford' College,' Dean' Moon' is' still' as' excited' to' greet' each' new' class' in' August' as' he' was' on' his' first' day,”'Hubert'said.'

Glover' said' Moon’s' impact' on' stu6 dents'is'personal.'

“Each' student' will' have' a' differ6 ent' story' and' relationship' with' Dean' Moon' because' he' makes' sure' that' all' his' interactions' with' students' are' between'him'and'them,”'Glover'said.'

Moon' said' he' is' currently' work6 ing' on' advancing' plans' for' a' new' Campus' Life' Center' at' Oxford,' creat6 ing'new'points'of'connection'between' the' Oxford' and' Atlanta' campus' and' expanding'information'to'Oxford'stu6 dents'on'sexual'violence'education'and' prevention.'

“He’s' always' looking' for' improve6 ment' even' though' he' already' made' such' a' huge' impact,”' Glover' said.'

“There’s' no' way' he’s' going' to' stop' making'more.”

BY#SEUNGEUN#CHO Staff'Writer The'East'Coast'caught'an'early'blast' of' fall' chill' this' year,' giving' budding' streetwear' stars' the' opportunity' to' dip'their'statement'shoes'in'new'sea6 sonal'styles.'Cool'weather'ended'mid6 September' at' the' same' time' as' New' York' Fashion' Week' and' started' up' again' towards' the' end' of' September,' just'in'time'for'Paris'Fashion'Week.'

While'chilly'weather'is'yet'to'grace' Atlanta,'the'Wheel'has'brought'some' of'this'year’s'best'fashion'tips'from'the' runway' to' Dickey' Drive' so' students' can'get'a'head'start'on'their'fall'flair.

UGLY#SHOES Ugly' shoes' left' mainstream' fash6 ion' during' the' mid62010s' when' Uggs' became' associated' with' Lululemon' leggings' and' pumpkin' spice' lattes,' but' the' powerful' resurgence' of' Birkenstocks' indicates' a' newfound' appreciation' for' form6and6function' footwear.'

Scottish'designer'Christopher'Kane' blew' some' members' of' the' fashion' community'minds’'at'London'Fashion' Week' in' September' 2016,' when' he' sent'models'down'the'runway'in'pas6 tel6marbled' Crocs' adorned' with' pre6 cious'gems.'This'year'saw'Balenciaga' spin'a'new'take'on'the'haute'Croc'as' models' swayed' atop' neon' platforms.'

This'came'just'a'month'after'the'debut' of' Balenciaga’s' Triple' S' sneaker,' a' shoe'with'three'soles'so'clunky'it'was' revolutionary.'

Comfy'can'be'cool,'too.'The'beauty' in'the'resurgence'of'ugly'shoes'lies'in' the'same'underlying'philosophy'which' defines'jaded'college'everyday6wear.'

Think' about' that' next' time' you’re' five' minutes' late' to' your' 8:30' a.m.,' and' you’re' wondering' frantically' if' you'have'the'time'to'lace'those'velvet' gladiator'sandals'up'your'legs.'

Stop' and' ask' yourself,' what' would' Christopher'Kane'do?

LOGOS To' some,' Paris' Hilton' and' Nicole'

Richie’s' early62000s' reign' of' fri6 volity' and' excess' remains' a' distant' memory' enshrined' in' extra' small' Juicy' Couture' tracksuits' and' Regina' George6esque' microscopic' handbags' decorated'with'brand'logos.'

Comfy'can'be'cool,' too.'The'beauty'in' the'resurgence'of' ugly'shoes'lies'in' the'same'underlying' philosophy'which' everyday6wear.

While' donning' a' splattering' of' brand' logos' to' dinner' at' the' DUC6 ling' might' seem' excessive' to' some,' it' would'certainly'be'a'breath'of'fresh'air' to'see'something'other'than'the'same' old'Vineyard'Vines'logos'that'seem'to' be'everywhere.'

Start'small'to'ease'into'this'trend.'

Accessories'are'a'great'way'for'begin6 ners'to'experiment'with'this'style.'

Just' a' few' weeks' back' in' Paris,' Miu'Miu’s'Spring'2018'models'tamed' their'hair'with'thick'sporty'headbands' emblazoned' with' the' fashion' house’s' name.'

Fashion' has' decreed:' Branding' is' back'and'bigger'than'ever.'Maybe'that' old'Emory'sweatshirt'you'bought'dur6 ing'orientation'week'isn’t'so'bad,'after' all.

FAUX#FUR Coziness' comes' to' mind' when' thinking' of' fall,' and' for' the' more' bougie'students'out'there,'that'usually' means' fur:' rabbit' fur,' mink' fur' and' chinchilla'fur.'

But'maybe'it’s'time'to'consider'faux' fur.'

Recent'calls'to'reconsider'civil'and' animal' rights' have' permeated' the' mainstream' conscience,' making' faux' fur'a'statement'in'itself.'

Even'Gucci'recently'unveiled'plans'

to' renounce' fur' usage' in' its' designs,' and' CEO' Marco' Bizzarri’s' announce6 ment'puts'the'fashion'house'alongside' other'icons'such'as'Ralph'Lauren'and' Calvin' Klein' in' the' aptly' named' Fur' Free'Alliance.'

The' shift' towards' faux' fur' tells' us' that'frugal'fashion'can'be'trendy,'too,' and'no'doubt'comes'as'a'saving'grace' for' the' fashionable' college' student’s' budget.'

Being' ethical' is' trendy,' and' now' trendy' is' cheaper' than' ever.' It’s' time' to' start' watching' our' consumption' of' furrier' styles.' We' don’t' have' to' be' cruel'to'be'cool.

CONCLUSION High' fashion' is' starting' dialogues' on' ugliness' and' ethics,' and' this' fall,' students'have'the'chance'to'give'new' meanings'to'campus'coolness.'

Stay' trendy,' Emory,' and' stay' in' school.

*Home Games in Bold

Continued from Back Page George and Jimmy Butler for the West this summer. That should spell the end of a stretch of 10 straight postseason appearances. For this reason, the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook has put the over/under of wins for the Hawks at 25.5, the second lowest in the NBA, while ESPN’s RPM projects them to win an NBA-low 27 games.

Thus, the success of this season should not be measured by wins and losses but by fulfilling the following benchmarks: Schroder needs to take another step forward and prove himself to be the cornerstone of the Hawks’ rebuild. Second-year wings Prince and Deandre Bembry must prove that they

should be a part of the Hawks longterm plans. Most importantly, the Hawks need to turn this losing season into their next franchise player in the 2018 draft. With forwards Luka Doncic, Marvin Bagley III or Michael Porter Jr. set to enter the draft, the talent pool is promising. If the Hawks achieve these modest goals, as I think they will, then they will be able to cash in on the expected five first-round picks they possess over the next two seasons. Within those five picks lies the foreseeable future of this Hawks franchise and redemption for an otherwise forgettable season.

Women Men’s Soccer Falls in Overtime to Brandeis Finish With Momentum Continued from Back Page

Continued from Back Page line, setting Emory in the lead.

Seven minutes later, junior defender Danielle Darius headed a loose ball into the back of the Judges’ net off a combo play from teammates Dresner and freshman forward Anne otterbein.

Dresner’s free kick found otterbein in the box, who chested the ball to Darius for the finish. “[Patberg] really likes our defenders flying up, getting numbers in the box,” Batt said. “She’s very attack-minded, so [Darius] and I try to get in there as much as we can.”

Wrapping up the second half, senior forward Melissa Ardizzone collected a rebound and her first goal of the season after senior forward Kaitlyn Dorka pressured the keeper with three consecutive attempts on goal. overall, the Eagles totaled four times as many shots on goal as the Judges, 12-3.

The Eagles play a non-conference game against Roanoke College (Va.) oct. 21 at home.

“The intensity in training was significantly better, and I think it’s nice that when you train hard, it pays off, and that’s what the results were against Brandeis,” Patberg said.

1-0 advantage, striking the opening goal from 20 yards out. The ball caromed off the goalpost, rolling in during the 14th minute.

“We knew that [Chicago is] a very good team,” Khattab said. “They’re very organized ... Scoring early was really key, and once we scored early, we just kept pressuring them.”

In the 29th minute, junior forward Tyler Walsh recorded the first goal of his college career from 10 feet out off an assist by junior midfielder Michael Stier, doubling the Eagles’ score.

“We got very fortunate early in the game,” Interim Head Coach Cory Greiner said. “We realized that [the Maroons] have some of the fastest players in the country up top and some of the most dangerous players. After a little bit of an initial flurry in the game, we got used to their speed and their pace ... Guys were covering for each other, and we defended a little bit more as a team.”

The Maroons failed to make a comeback in the second half as the Eagles tallied yet another goal a mere three minutes into the second half courtesy of senior forward Christian Meyer.

Chicago senior goalkeeper Hill Bonin deflected a shot off Emory senior forward Jason McCartney but fell short blocking Meyer, who finished the rebound. The Eagles finished with a 3-0 shutout, marking the program’s first ever win against a No. 1 opponent. “[This game] consolidated what we, as a team, think and what we know we can accomplish,” Khattab said. “It was more of like saying to everyone, ‘Now

Gemy Sethaputra/Staff

Junior defender Tyler Santee eyes the ball after winning a header over New York University senior forward Nic Notaro. we know that we can beat any team … and make the [NCAA] tournament and go far.’”

Much credit goes to Emory’s defense and freshman keeper Cole Gallagher for shutting out the competition and keeping clean sheets against New York and Chicago. The defensive unit limited the explosive Maroon attack to a season-low four shots on goal. “our guys are really excited coming out of the [Chicago] game with such a big result over one of the best teams in the country,” Greiner said. “It’s important to stick to our values and who we are and not try to get ahead of ourselves for the rest of the season, but I think our guys believe that they can compete and play with anybody.”

The Emory attack shifted into full gear Friday against NYU, with goals from McCartney (with two), sophomore defender Keegan McCombie, Stier and Meyer leading the way to a 5-0 demolition. Two days after the NYU shutout, the Eagles met their

match against the Brandeis Judges.

The Eagles had several goal opportunities, including a disallowed offsides goal in the second half. Neither team made headway in either half, which led to a heated and physical overtime.

The game nearly ended in Emory’s favor during overtime when senior midfielder Adam Ferguson had an almost-goal that had his fellow teammates running from the bench onto the field with the thought of victory, only to discover that the ball had missed the right goal post by inches.

Brandeis delivered the fatal blow with an unforeseen header by junior midfielder Patrick Flahive minutes before the end of the second overtime half, wrapping up the weekend with a heartbreaking 1-0 loss for Emory.

The Eagles play the oglethorpe University (Ga.) Stormy Petrels oct. 18 at 7 p.m. on Salamone Field.

Heat, Hills Test Cross Country Teams at Pre-Nationals Competition Continued from Back Page Athletic Association (UAA) and NCAA Division South/Southeast Regional Championships.

In the women’s race, Johns Hopkins University (Md.) finished No. 1 with an average 6K time of 22:01. Emory finished more than a minute after Hopkins with an average time of 23:19.

Senior captain Gabrielle Stravach led Emory with a No. 5 overall finish out of 332 runners. Emory’s second fastest runner for the women’s team was freshman Carrie McIntyre with a 6K time of 21:41. Head Coach John Curtin praised Stravach’s ability to post a great time despite the difficult conditions, particularly, the temperature. It was above 90 degrees, causing dozens of competitors to suffer from heat exhaustion, according to Curtin.

“Stravach established herself as a true national competitor,” Curtin said.

“She ran brilliantly, despite it being a particularly difficult course, and the conditions were awful.”

Junior Kayla o’Shea, freshman Abby Durfee and junior Kaylee Slade rounded out Emory’s top five. Each runner finished within the top 100.

Stravach expressed her excitement about the performance of some of the newer members of the team.

“It was a really big weekend for our rookies, who haven’t been able to travel, and a lot of them rose to occasion,” Stravach said. “How a lot of the girls stepped up to the plate this weekend is a really good sign for the rest of the season.”

Noting a potential setback to Emory’s overall score, Curtin mentioned that junior Maeve Andrews

struggled with heat exhaustion.

“Andrews, who is normally our No. 2 runner, went down with heat exhaustion during the race and wasn’t able to finish,” Curtin said. “That held us back a little bit as a team.”

Falling toward the middle of the pack, Emory’s men finished with an average 8K time of 26:42, 1.5 minutes off the No. 1 pace set by North Central College (Ill.). Unlike the women, the men did not have an individual runner finish within the top 50. Senior Shane Sullivan crossed the finish line with Emory’s No. 1 time of 26:09. Sullivan placed No. 60 overall out of a field of 354 runners.

“The course was composed of rolling hills with a few flat sections connecting those, creating big uphills and downhills,” Sullivan said. “As a result, our coach wanted us to take a more

conservative approach.”

Sophomores Luis Torres and Marty Pimentel, junior Bennett Shaw and freshman Matt Dillon joined Sullivan as Emory’s top five runners, each finishing within the top half of all runners.

Rather than relying on one individual to run a low time, the men will have to improve in the fourth or fifth spots to post a lower average time. “our guys are going to have to improve their time by sticking together and running in a good, solid pack.”

Curtin said.

Emory will race its top runners oct. 28 in the UAA Championships at Garret Mountain Reservation in Woodland Park, N.J.

On

Fire “I already won the lottery. I was born in the U.S. of A. baby.”

— Creed Bratton Last week, the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team (USMNT) failed to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

We lost to Trinidad and Tobago. our country lost to an island composed of about 1/323rd of our population — and your on Fire correspondent could not be any happier. What could be more patriotic than not only denying Russia the honor of our presence but also proving our complete and total apathy toward the sport most beloved by our former colonizer and arch nemesis, England? our team, composed of fourth-tier athletes too Anglophilic to play a true American sport like football, baseball or basketball, said “No thanks” to the opportunity to tramp around on commie soccer fields. Following in the footsteps of President Donald J. Trump, who rescinded a White House invitation to athletes who had already said they weren’t going, the USMNT said “no” to an event to which they were never invited. It’s the American way.

Sure, while the White House may be unofficially located in Moscow, it is still a defiant American strategy to avoid excelling at a sport that would place over a dozen fine men behind the red line. The late Joseph McCarthy would roll in his grave if he knew that young, impressionable Americans were being exposed to Marxist ideas abroad. Fortunately, the national team’s prioritization of American ideals is strong enough that the players decided to avoid even the chance of being within the same borders of the shirtless, horse riding Vladimir Putin.

But that failure to qualify is more significant than a simple Cold War victory.

Your on Fire correspondent believes that not qualifying for the World Cup is another battle W for a ceaseless Revolutionary War. The best way to break off from British influence is by surprise attacking them with presents in the form of artillery on Christmas morning of 1776 and protesting their favorite sport in the form of losing in qualification rounds.

When Lady Liberty and Uncle Sam consummated their love, they gave birth to a country free of a hegemonic soccer culture. our best athletes are playing real football in the NFL, completing 360-degree dunks in the NBA and hitting 400-foot tanks in the MLB. Hell, our best athletes north of the Mason-Dixon Line are dangling, sniping and cellying in the NHL. It took the leadership of a true patriot like Bruce Arena to coach the USMNT to glorious defeat. When the team qualified in 2014, it was all thanks to Jurgen Klinsmann — a German. Arena recognized that it would be close to treason to formulate a truly competitive American team at the international level. It simply wouldn’t be fair if the United States dominated in football, baseball, basketball, both World Wars, gross domestic product and soccer.

Thus, Arena’s resignation following the loss to Trinidad and Tobago holds parallels to George Washington’s decision to refuse a third term: Both provided a grand service to their country and should be recognized for their incredible efforts.

Emory Topples No. 1 UChicago in Historic Shutout

By Annie UichAnco Contributing Writer

Emory men’s soccer achieved one of the greatest wins in program history, defeating the No. 1 University of Chicago Maroons 3-0 oct. 7. The rollercoaster two-week stretch continued oct. 13 and oct. 15 at home with an emphatic 5-0 win over New York University (NYU) before a heartbreak-

ing 1-0 overtime defeat against No. 3 Brandeis University (Mass.).

The Maroons’ astonishing 28-game undefeated streak, dating back to November 2015, is officially over. In its place, Emory extended its own win streak, which reached as high as eight before the Eagles’ narrow loss to the Brandeis Judges. Currently, Emory (10-3, 3-1) stands tied for No. 1 in the UAA conference with Chicago,

Brandeis and Rochester (N.Y.).

While the rest of the country endured the depressing reality of the U.S. men’s national soccer team’s failure to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the Emory men’s soccer team returned home from the game against the UChicago that same week with reason to celebrate.

“Going into the game, we felt really good,” junior forward and UAA Athlete

of the Week Moustafa Khattab said.

“We won six [games] in a row … To go there, win seven [games] straight and beat them at home when they haven’t lost [in a while] — everyone on the team was just super excited.”

When asked to describe the game in one word, Khattab said, “hype.”

Eagles Amp Up Energy at Home Atlanta Hawks: The

By Annie UichAnco Contributing Writer

Armed with an appetite for redemption after a tough 4-0 defeat from the top-ranked University of Chicago (Ill.) Maroons oct. 7, the Eagles survived a weekend of stiff competition at home with a 1-1 draw against No. 5 New York University (NYU) oct. 13 and a 3-0 win over No. 3 Brandeis University (Mass.) oct. 15.

Junior defender Nikki Batt said that she thought the team may not have been mentally prepared for the start of the match against Chicago.

“We were on our heels the entire game,” Batt said. “That being said, I don’t think the score reflected how we played. I think we got very unlucky with a lot of things and a lot of mental lapses. At the end of the day, we felt more defeated and upset because we didn’t play the way we should’ve played … Everything chose to go wrong at the same time. I think a lot of people were off that game. I don’t know if it was weather, or if it was an away trip.

That’s no excuse, but I think there were a lot of things that went into how our performance turned out.”

Nevertheless, the Eagles showed signs of life early on against the Maroons. That energy was short-lived.

“At the beginning of the game we actually had a lot of really good chances — early — and then we couldn’t

build any more momentum off of that,” Head Coach Sue Patberg said.

Picking themselves back up from the Chicago setback, the Eagles avoided another loss with a 1-1 stalemate against the NYU Violets oct. 13. The match extended into overtime, but neither team gained the upperhand after the 2-hour and 33-minute game.

Freshman forward Lily Dresner netted the first goal of her college career before the end of the first half from a free kick, landing the ball in the left side of the Violets’ net. The Violets retaliated quickly, catching Emory off guard just three minutes into the second half. NYU sophomore forward Alex Benedict dribbled in from the outside corner of the penalty box, striking the tying goal into the far corner of the Eagles’ net.

Coming into overtime, the Eagles came in hot but failed to penetrate the Violets’ back line. In a final attempt to gain the advantage on the scoreboard, junior forward Abbe McCarter, sophomore forward Caroline Kolski and junior defender Nikki Batt delivered three consecutive shots on goal in the last two minutes in the first half of overtime. In the end, Emory almost doubled NYU in the number of the shots taken, 22-12, but couldn’t put a single one past NYU’s keeper.

“We’re notorious for taking lots of shots and not making a lot of them,” Batt said. “one of our main focuses

this season is trying to get our percentage of shots taken and shots scored to go up. We’ve always had that issue, but one of the things I think we need to work on more as a team is being more dangerous in the box and taking shots outside the box.”

Two days later, Emory women’s soccer celebrated its first University Athletic Association (UAA) win oct.

15, with a 3-0 shutout against the Brandeis Judges. The game was Brandeis’ second loss of the season, putting an end to the Judges’ 12-game undefeated streak. After a relatively quiet first half, play went downhill for the Judges when their starting keeper, sophomore Sierra Dana, contracted a serious knee injury early into the second half. With their other goalkeeper also out on injury, junior forward and emergency backup keeper Minjee Lee undertook the responsibility of guarding the Judges’ net. Despite Lee’s inexperience in goal, she accrued a total of three saves for Brandeis off Emory’s aggressive offensive unit.

Taking advantage of the goalkeeper change, the Eagles cracked down on the Judges in the second half. Shortly after Lee’s arrival in the net, her goalkeeping skills were put to the test when sophomore forward Shivani Beall fired from the top of the box. Lee slowed the shot, but the ball snuck past the goal

Prey of the NBA

By MAx RotenBeRg Contributing Writer

A wild offseason kept teams like the Boston Celtics and oklahoma City Thunder basking under the media spotlight, but some other teams didn’t make it into many conversations around the water cooler. While Boston point guard Kyrie Irving’s and oklahoma small forward Carmelo Anthony’s trades made headlines, the Hawks gutted their roster quietly.

The Hawks elected to move on from three of their four leading scorers, waving goodbye to four-time all-star power forward Paul Millsap (signed with Denver), shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (signed with New York), starting center Dwight Howard (traded to Charlotte) and their best wing defender, small forward Thabo Sefolosha (signed with Utah).

To plug those holes, the Hawks signed center Dewayne Dedmon and power forward Ersan Ilyasova, as well as acquired center Miles Plumlee, shooting guard Marco Belinelli and rookie shooting guard Tyler Dorsey in the Dwight Howard trade. Dedmon is young and unproven, having yet to average more than five points per game. However, he did flash potential

in limited game time with the Spurs.

Ersan Ilyasova is a floor-spacing, 10th-year power forward who averaged 13 ppg on 43 percent shooting and 5.9 rpg in his best season last year. He will be tasked with filling the all-star sized void Millsap left at power forward. Second-year small forward, Taurean Prince, who started all six of the Hawks’ playoff games last year, will also be new to the starting lineup.

Those players will be joined by returning starters shooting guard Kent Bazemore, looking to prove he is worthy of the four-year, $70-million contract he signed last season, and 24-year-old point guard Dennis Schroder, who will begin his fifth season with Atlanta.

The offseason moves made by new General Manager Travis Schlenk leave the team with arguably the leasttalented roster in the NBA, indicating the birth of a rebuilding period for the Hawks. Despite having one of the best coaches in the NBA, Mike Budenholzer, the Hawks simply don’t have the player personnel needed to contend for a playoff spot, even in an Eastern Conference weakened by the departure of all-star wings Paul
