Gov. Matt Bevin refuses to concede election defying Republican advice

By WILLOW DOVE Staff Writer On Nov. 5th, Kentucky held a state election in which the incumbent governor Matt Bevin was voted out of office in favor of Andy Beshear by a margin of 5,189 votes. Bevin has since refused to concede his office, demanding for a recanvass of the votes. This recanvasing has been scheduled for Thursday which will involve a recount of the votes that were sent to the State Board of Elections. There has yet to be an instance in Kentucky where a recanvas has changed the results of a statewide race. The last recanvas to occur was in 2015 when James Comer came

83 votes shy of beating Bevin in the state governor Republican primaries. The results of the recanvas did not change the outcome of the race.

Bevin claims that there were instances of fraud and voting irregularities on election day that influenced the results but has not offered any evidence to support these claims. He told reporters that there were “thousands of absentee ballots” which were “illegally counted” (kentucky.com). He followed by claiming that this was a known occurrence, however offered no evidence. Fellow Republicans are growing impatient with his efforts to dispute the election, however this does not seem to be swaying his pursuits.

Even if the results of the recanvas show no significant change in the voting outcomes, Bevin has the opportunity to contest the election to the state legislature which they would be required to hear according to the constitution. Although this might be what Bevin feels he needs to do, there are many who disagree. Kentucky Senate President Robert Stivers says that he believes Bevin should concede if the recanvas does

not change the outcome of the election. Stivers feels that there is no sufficient evidence showing that the election should be contested any further after the recanvas. Other legislators show similar beliefs, House Majority Floor Leader John “Bam” Carney commenting that there is no reason for the results to be contested “unless there is overwhelming evidence to do so.” Senate President Pro. Tem. David Givens agrees, not appearing interested in being involved in a contested election.

Regardless of their beliefs, the legislators will participate in the contested election if necessary, although they are already making efforts to include Governor-elect Beshear. He has been invited to the House GOP caucus’ retreat in December, and although Beshear is a Democrat, they are eager to get off on the right foot for the benefit of bettering Kentucky (courier-journal.com). Although the two sides will likely have to meet in the middle to agree on many issues, hopefully there will be consensus on issues that will improve the quality of life in Kentucky.

Democrats flip Virginia’s Senate and House in election

By ROBERT BIRD

Staff Writer During this past week’s election, Democrats were able to gain control of both houses in the Virginia General Assembly for the first time in a generation. Democrat nominees in the state were able to reach to voters in the suburbs to pool together their power in hopes to send a message to President Trump and other Republican.

Several results were still close after polls closed on the most expensive and most watched Virginia legislative races in years, but Democrats flipped two seats in the state Senate and five in the House of Delegates taking the majority in both houses.

Officials reported an unusually high turnout in an election that served as an opening salvo in next year’s presidential showdown, a test of Democratic defiance and Republican resolve in the era of Trump. This sweep allowed for a complete political conversion from red to blue in a state that is south of Washington DC. Both of Virginia’s U.S. senators, a majority of its congressional delegation and all three statewide officeholders are Democrats. The state was carried by Democrats in the past three presidential elections. Also, Republicans have not won a statewide contest since 2009. Furthermore, Delegate Tim Hugo, the last of the Republicans in the Northern Virginia delegation, lost to Dan Helmer, another Democrat.

Interviewed at a local polling place, David Shonka, a 78-year-old man who is a lifelong Republican, said that he was voting a straight Democratic ticket in this year’s election to protest the GOP and the behavior of Trump. “It really begins at the top, then it flows into the Senate, then it

The Virginia State Capitol Building where Democrats will soon occupy the majority of seats in both houses flows into the House, and then, yes, to issues at a more local level,” said Shonka, who cast a ballot for Helmer.

“The Republicans have lost the right to govern.” (newyorktimes.com) As they were able to carpet the state with money, many National Democratic organizations and interest groups - promoting and enforcing such topics as gun control, clean energy and women’s rights - were able to increase the spending level of many suburban elections to the level of national elections.

This could be why someone like Democratic Governor Ralph Northam, who just nine months ago was engulfed in a blackface scandal that almost led to his resignation, and is now poised to become one of the most controversial Virginian governors of

recent times, will likely win re-election in the state in 2021.

When Trump was elected, he seemingly had an insurmountable lead of the majority in the House of Delegates, but now Republicans have lost several holds in several of the Virginian suburban districts. Now, they begin to take moderate positions on such issues as gun control and an expansion on Medicaid.

Terry McAuliffe, a former Democratic governor of Virginia, told reporters after the election results came in Tuesday night, “They’re not only losing Virginia, they’re losing America…I think Donald Trump was humiliated tonight. Trump wasn’t on the ballot this year. However, his polices, his lunacy was on the ballot, and I think it energized Democrats.”

of Representatives last month and is meant to strengthen a law that President Obama signed in 2010, which banned videos about animal abuse but failed to be make the production of them a federal crime.

The Humane Society found that 71% of domestic violence victims said that their abusers also targeted their pets. According to the Animal Legal Defense Fund, many laws protecting animals are enacted at the state level, however, if the President signs the bill the federal government will have power to go after criminals.

According to NPR, the PACT Act gives police a valuable pathway to intervene in cases where an animal abuser may also harm people. For years the FBI has been tracking abuse

in the same way as arson and assault.

The bill has received unanimous support from both the House of Representatives and from the Senate. Rep. Ted Deutch of Florida (D) who introduced it to the House said, “This bill has received so much bipartisan support because Americans care about animal welfare; we form deep relationships with our companion animals, and are rightfully outraged by cases of animal abuse.”

Deutch also said, “This bill sends a clear message that our society does not accept cruelty against animals.

We’ve received support from so many Americans from across the country and across the political spectrum, I’m deeply thankful for all the advocates who helped us pass this bill, and I

look forward to the Senate’s swift passage and the President’s signature.”

Deutch gave some credit for the success of the bill to Sydney Helfand, a Maryland high school student whose Change.org petition in support of the PACT Act caught the attention almost 800,000 signatures and was promoted by many celebrities and other online influencers.

Rep. Vern Buchanan of Florida (R), a leading co-sponsor of the bill called it “a milestone for pet owners and animal lovers across the country,” that sets a national precedent in protecting animals from cruelty. “The torture of innocent animals is abhorrent and should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.”

U.S. Senate makes animal cruelty federal crime

By TYLER EVANS Staff Writer On Nov. 5, the Senate unanimously passed a bill that will make any act of animal cruelty a federal crime which is punishable by fines and up to seven years in prison. The bill was sponsored

by Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania (R) and Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut (D).

The Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act (PACT), is aimed toward making the penalty increase for those who make disturbing videos that show gruesome death and torture of animals. However, it does not apply to people who slaughter animals for food or those who hunt, fish and trap.

The bill was passed by the House

Men’s basketball defeats Washington Adventist, 88-82

By DYLAN PRUITT S&R Editor

On Nov. 9, the Georgetown men’s basketball team narrowly defeated Washington Adventist University with a final score of 88-82.

The game was high-stakes for both teams, evidenced by just how much effort both schools put into it. Last season, Washington and Georgetown split a series of wins, staying on even ground. However, both teams came into this night with 3-0 records, which meant someone was going home unhappy and with a broken streak. Thankfully for the Tigers, the undefeated streak continued, and Washington had to travel home knowing their record now stands at 3-1.

Despite an impressive start from the Shock, gaining a 7-2 lead before the first half was even close to finished. Georgetown never quite caught up throughout the rest of the half, but nevertheless kept the pressure on Washington. Despite the Tigers’ persistence, Washington used the last few minutes of the first half to gain the largest lead of the night by putting the score at 43-31.

This undoubtedly put the Tigers into focus, as they opened up the second half by

cutting down the points difference to 45-40. Jake Ohmer had an overall contribution of 24 points, scoring 17 of these in the second half. His teammate, Nico Clareth, also came off the bench and secured another 15 points for the Tigers. Slowly but surely, Georgetown chipped away at the Shock’s lead throughout the contest.

Although WAU managed to score a total of 15 threepoint shots, Georgetown pushed their opponents to the limits in the last half, even setting records in the process.

Thanks to a free-throw with a mere 12 seconds left on the clock, Eljay Cowherd joined the 1,000th point club while also securing the win for the Tigers. Cowherd is the 54th individual to join the elusive club, and is also moving up the ranks as he currently has a record of 478 assists, ten of which came from this very game.

In the end, Washington’s efforts were no match for the undefeated Georgetown, and the Tigers kept the streak alive at 4-0. A huge congratulations to the men’s basketball team for showing exactly why they are ranked #1 in the NAIA. The team is in action again on Nov 15 against Vanguard University at home.

The inside scoop: an exclusive interview with a Georgetown lacrosse team member

By SANTINO MANISCALCHI Staff Writer

Everyone knows that football starts the fall sports season every school year. Students, faculty and family wear their jerseys or their school’s colors in support of their team, but once the season ends no one focuses on sports until the Spring when basketball starts.

Ask any sports fan and they’ll happily and successfully rattle off a list of sports for you. “Football, basketball, baseball, soccer...” they’ll say with ease. However, the problem is that this list quickly dies out into mumbling while they try to think of more examples.

Worst of all, one sport they might not even remember until you remind them is lacrosse. Sadly, it seems that no one pays much attention to the other sports occurring during that time like lacrosse.

For most people, basketball is the only sport one should pay attention to in the Spring.

However, to others lacrosse is just as important. So, to help drive out this stigma, I sat down with Mackenzie Miller,

a freshman lacrosse player here at Georgetown College, to shine some attention on the women in the sport we rarely focus on.

I first asked Miller why she joined the lacrosse team, “I started my freshman year of high school and I needed another sport to play,” she responded. I followed up the question by asking her why she wants to continue playing lacrosse in college, to which Miller said, “I need a way to stay in shape and plus, I love this sport.”

She then suddenly paused for a few seconds and said, “I can’t imagine doing anything else than lacrosse, I need to at least continue for 4 more years.” I then asked her what position she plays, and she informed me that she is midfield.

Sadly, I too have not avidly followed the wonderful sport of lacrosse, and am not well versed enough to have gone more in-depth with some of my questions. I then asked her when her first game will be.

Miller pulled up her phone to

find her schedule. She said it is an away game in Georgia on Feb 7.

My last question, which was merely out of curiosity, was if she wanted to continue playing lacrosse professionally after college, “Probably not,” she said, “once I get out of college, I want to start my own business.”

Even though I have very little knowledge on lacrosse, sitting with Miller made me learn one thing: the girls who play lacrosse do it not because they have to, but because they love it.

They prefer having fun at what they do, helping to make them happy and successful students here at Georgetown College. After all, what better reason to pour your heart and soul into a sport during your college years?

Best of luck to the Georgetown lacrosse team in their upcoming season! And to all reading, make it a point next semester to give our amazing lacrosse team support in this upcoming season.

November 13, 2019 Page 5 Sports & Recreation Volleyball ends season on Weekly wrestling history: the life, a win, holds Senior Night career and death of Eddie Guerrero Issue #21

By BENJAMIN ROBISON Staff Writer

This past Friday, Georgetown College’s volleyball team finished their last game of the regular season by earning a win over Campbellsville University, bringing their overall record to 18-12 and a conference record of 11-5. This was also Senior Night for the Tigers as they recognized six seniors: Madison Mudd, McKala Bozman, Lindsey Leick, Sara Snyder, Jessica Tapp and Ashton Meckle.

Snyder was a big hitter as she had 14 kills with an impressive .429 kill percentage. Meckle finished the game with 9 kills, while Mudd and Bozman both finished with 7 kills each with .190 and .150 kill percentages, respectively.

Defensive specialists, Sam Lincoln, Haley Bergheger and Lexie Gatewood, all had double digit digs with 50 of the 92 total digs for the Tigers.

Both Brianna Cathers and Erica Lee shared the assists for the game as they accumulated

44 total assists in the game.

The Tigers are preparing to play in the MSC Conference Tournament in Bowling Green, KY, later this week. At the #3 seed in the tournament, Georgetown will be taking on #6 Cumberlands, KY on Thursday, Nov 14 at 3 p.m. inside Bowling Green Arena.

The Tigers should have the advantage as they have taken on and won against #10 ranked Lindsey Wilson College. If Georgetown makes it to the championship round, then they will most likely face Lindsey Wilson for the title.

The Mid-South Conference awards players of the week for attackers, defenders and setters. Bozman won the Attacker of the Week award for the week of Oct 10. Sophomore and libero, Samantha Lincoln, won the Defender of the Week the previous week.

Brianna Cathers, a junior, was an MSC two-time Setter of the Week for the weeks of Sep 25 and Oct 9.

On Nov 13, 2005 the wrestling world was struck with an unexpected tragedy. That morning, Eddie Guerrero passed away in his hotel room in Minneapolis, MN from what an autopsy reported as heart failure caused by arterial blockage. World Wrestling Entertainment, and the professional wrestling world as a whole, had lost one of its greatest stars.

Born in El Paso, TX to a famous wrestling family, Guerrero found success first in local promotions and later in the notorious “big three”: Extreme Championship Wrestling, World Championship Wrestling and WWE. Guerrero’s first big break came in 1995, when he was approached by ECW’s owner Paul Heyman for a chance in the company. Heyman, who had just begun pushing his company for the top, needed the star power to do it. Guerrero had a short run, really notable only for his feuds with Dean Malenko, before leaving for WCW later that same year.

As part of the war for wrestling dominance against WWE in the mid-1990s, WCW heavily pushed for smaller, more agile stars as part of a cruiserweight division. These cruiserweights, WCW envisioned, would bring a variety of new, more athletic moves than the traditional powerbombs or sidewalk slams that bulkier wrestlers of the past had per-

fected long ago.

Guerrero, along with others like Malenko, Chris Jericho and Rey Mysterio, proved WCW was onto something with the new cruiserweight division. Matches involving these individuals soon took off as among the most popular of the era, skyrocketing names like Guerrero into superstardom.

Upon WWE’s defeat of WCW in ratings, and subsequent purchase of WCW’s assets, Guerrero came over to the WWE alongside a plethora of other stars. It was in WWE that Guerrero cemented his legacy and had many of his most memorable matches. His electrifying frogsplash off the top rope, as well as his personality, quickly made him a crowd favorite.

Despite multiple feuds focusing on personal grudges or championships like the European and Intercontinental titles, Guerrero soon had his grand fall from grace. He developed an addiction to pain medication, most likely stemming from injuries acquired over the years. Guerrero was admitted to rehab in mid-2001 and was soon after arrested on DUI charges. As a result of his alcohol and drug issues, Guerrero was released from WWE days after this arrest.

After working the independent wrestling circuit for some time, Guerrero returned to the WWE and quickly formed the tag team Los Guerreros with his nephew, Chavo. The two

saw limited success, which rumors say is due to Guerrero’s previous personal issues that had put a strain on the company.

However, Guerrero’s big break soon arrived and in 2004 he was elevated to the main event scene. After winning a battle royal on an episode of Smackdown, Guerrero became the number one contender for Brock Lesnar’s WWE Championship. The two feuded briefly leading up to the No Way Out pay-per-view event, which saw Guerrero defy the odds and pin Lesnar to win his first world championship.

Guerrero went on to successfully defend his new championship against the Olympian Kurt Angle at WrestleMania XX, in yet another demonstration that the underdog really could win. John Bradshaw Layfield (JBL), however, brought an end to Guerrero’s reign at The Great American Bash later that same year.

Popularity is not the only reason fans clung to Guerrero.

Rather, it was because he could be any of us. He was not the monster of a man like Lesnar, whose physique stands above nearly every one around him.

Guerrero was the the underdog and the hard-worker that embodied what we all strive for: a recognition of dedication.

Eddie Guerrero’s death will forever stick in the mind of wrestling fans, not just because we lost a star, but because we lost one of the most dedicated performers of all time.

Features Phi Mu residence hall wins recycling competition Page 6

By BRADY PARLATO Staff Writer

It’s been over 2 weeks since the campus-wide recycling competition began. GSI (Georgetown Sustainability Initiative) and ACS (American Chemical Society) asked any interested residence halls to request a new recycling bin and then collect as much recyclable material before the Nov. 8 deadline.

There were several participants in this year’s competition, but there could only be one winner.

Ultimately, the winners of the first Georgetown College Recycling Competition were the residents of Phi Mu. They were able to collect an astounding amount of aluminum soda cans, large pieces of cardboard

The Georgetonian

and newspapers just to name a few items. For winning this competition, the residents of Phi Mu will be rewarded with a pizza party courtesy of GSI and ACS within the next 2 weeks.

Overall though, all the GSI and ACS members would like to say thank you to all of the residence halls and individuals who took part in this year’s competition. Your contribution to our recycling efforts has helped to make Georgetown a more eco-friendly and sustainable community. We hope to see even greater participation in future recycling competitions.

However, just because the competition is over, that does not mean that you should stop recycling. There are still bins all over campus and will soon

be avaliable in each residence hall. However, do make sure to check that you are putting items in the bin that can be recycled at our local recycling center.

Despite the efforts from those who participated in this year’s recycling competition, it is important to address a current issue impeding recycling in our community. Namely, those of you on campus who regularly recycle have likely noticed that our local Georgetown Recycling Center has stopped accepting several major recyclable products, particularly paper.

Specifically, due to recent tariffs imposed on China by the United States, the Chinese government has put restrictions on imports of most of the recyclable material we had

previously been selling them, including printer paper and many forms of plastics.

Because it was China who was purchasing the majority of U.S. recyclable paper products, this dilemma leaves members of our campus community unable to recycle the most abundant recyclable material that we produce.

There are several ways which members of our campus community can help with our current sustainability issue.

For one, we need more individuals on campus to request recycling bins for their residence halls or academic buildings. GSI currently has 10 new bins ready to be distributed to anyone who would like one, free of charge. There are also signs available which you can put up next to the bins that

states what is and what is not currently recyclable at our local recycling center.

Likewise, given the current restriction on paper recycling, we need people on campus to start reusing their paper to a greater extent to cut back on needless waste.

For example, you could shred printer paper which would otherwise be thrown away to use as animal bedding, which could be donated to our local animal shelter or used for your own pets.

Ultimately, the members of GSI highly suggest that people on campus increase their recycling efforts when possible and reuse any leftover paper products rather than discarding them to promote a greater sense of environmental sustainability in our community.

GAC held a painting class run by our very own: Olivia Burton

By KATIE SWANSON

Staff Writer Art has always been an open form of imagination that many people drift towards when it is hard for them to put their inner thoughts into words. There are many different ways to how this art can be expressed such as drawing, sculpting or painting.

Painting can be a way to express creativity and put what you have in your head on paper for others to enjoy. This form of expression has been used to help relieve stress, improve communication skills and release hidden emotions.

This past week the Georgetown Activities Council, or GAC, hosted an event that gave student the opportunity

to relax with a paint brush in hand. GAC tries to put together activities that provide students with educational, entertainment or social events that are easily accessed on campus.

The theme of the night was based on the holidays, which are quickly approaching.

Olivia Burton, who has been painting since she could remember, led the class. She said that, “It went great and I really enjoyed teaching everyone while also connecting with new people!”

The holidays were in full swing. With Christmas music playing in the background, everyone began to paint their own personal wreaths. Burton walked us through a step by step process.

They continued with the branches and drew them in a circle on the canvas. From there, the pine needles and leaves were drawn to fill the empty branches. The final step was adding the berries to the painting.

To finish it off, people could write a small message or a short saying in the middle to add more personality to the painting. For example, one could put “Holy Night” or “Happy Holidays” inside the wreath to make it their own.

Events like this happen frequently throughout the year. GAC has hosted painting opportunities like this before, and will most likely have another one with the popularity that it shows.

Georgetown sees the first snow of the year after a long summer

By BEN ROBISON

Staff Writer It’s official! Monday night marked the first official snow day of the Fall. The flurries started late Monday night and continued early Tuesday morning.

These light flurries throughout the night made it a sight to see in the morning as it coated the grass and brushes perfectly. Most of us anticipated light snow without any expectations that much of it would stick, but the snowfall was perfect. The snow is just light enough and airy enough to make perfect snowballs and snowmen.

Unfortunately, this is just

a one-time occurrence for now has come and gone. For others, time, but it is also a time that because the 10-day weather the snow signals the beginning we get to spend with our forecast doesn’t predict any of Thanksgiving and Christ- friends and family over nice snow for the upcoming week. mas. warm meals.

Fraternities and sororities alike can even come together and start a snowman building contest, with the winner getting a prize or trophy.

Regardless of what you decide to do when it begins to snow, take a moment to enjoy the beauty of it all.

It is easy to get stressed out from all of the homework, papers and projects this time of year. When you slow down, even for a moment, you get to relax and enjoy the beauty around you.

So, next time you see the snow falling from the sky, just think about how every snowflake is unique, just like YOU!

Maskrafters present “All In The Timing” ...continued from page 1.

The show is written by David Ives, and is a series of four short comedic plays, each lasting around fifteen minutes, and that plays involve satire, intellect, and a lot of fun laughs. The four individual plays are entitled: “Sure Thing,” “Words, Words, Words,” “The Philadelphia,” and “Variations on the Death of Leon Trotsky.”

The show is directed by Professor Carly Preston, Georgetown’s newest theater professor here on campus. When asked about the play, Professor Preston was quoted as saying, “‘All In The Timing,’ a series of sketches by David Ives, shows the human condition in its most vulnerable states through the eyes of lovers, monkeys, confused business men, and revolutionaries. With a comical and delightful glimpse at romance,

identity, and existential crisis, All In The Timing reminds its audiences that no one has the answer, and laughter is truly the best medicine.”

Each individual show has a very unique and original premise, while also being very comical and touching on the human spirit. “Sure Thing” features a chance meeting of two characters, Betty and Bill, whose conversation is continually reset by the use of a ringing bell, starting over when one of them

responds negatively to the other.

“Words, Words, Words” is about Kafka, Milton, and Swift, three intelligent chimpanzees who are put in a cage together under the experimenting eye of a never seen Dr. Rosenbaum, a scientist testing the hypothesis that three apes hitting keys at random on typewriters for an infinite amount of time will almost surely produce Shakespeare’s play Hamlet (a variation on the infinite monkey theorem).

“The Philadelphia” highlights two businessmen who have a chance encounter at a deli and go through each other’s daily lives. Lastly, “Variations on the Death of Trotsky” fictionalizes the death of Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky through a number of distinct variations, though all from the same, historically accurate cause.

Crew member Jorie Beil, when asked about the show was quoted as saying, “‘All in the Timing’ is a show in which I am honored to be working on.

It is sure to provide many laughs and many thought provoking revelations. It will be an amazing show, and I would recommend anyone to come out and

The North Carolina folk band addressed numerous societal issues in the album, including gun violence, the purpose of life, and gender inequality.

In broader terms, the album as a whole described their lives and exactly what they saw around them in contemporary America.

The controversial track, “Bang Bang,” addresses gun violence while “C-Sections and Railway Trestles” describes the birth of Seth Avett’s son.

“Tell the Truth” explores human morality while “We Americans” explores the pain of American history as well as the universal love we as a nation can possess.

In short, “Closer Than Together” explores the complexities, simplicities, and idiosyncrasies of American life.

However, the album received mixed initial reviews. Some listeners criticized the album for its variety, labelling it stylistically and lyrically inconsistent. Other listeners found it to be an album that masterfully weaves art and discomfort.

The Avett Brothers Release “Closer Than Together”

By COLTON SOSBE Staff Writer

On June 13, 2019, The Avett Brothers formally announced their upcoming album titled “Closer Than Together.”

In making the announcement, they did so in the form of a mission statement for the album.

This statement read, “We didn’t make a record that was meant to comment on the sociopolitical landscape that we live in. We did, however, make an album that is obviously informed by what is happening now on a grander scale all around us…because we are a part of it and it is a part of us.”

It concludes, however, with one simple line: “The Avett Brothers will probably never make a sociopolitical record. But if we did, it might sound something like this. Released on Octo-

High Expectations for “Sims 4: Discover University”

By SOPHIE TAYLOR Staff Writer Has the stress of upcoming final exams been looming over your head?

Do you need an escape from studying and “important” life responsibilities?

Look no further because this Friday, The Sims 4 is finally releasing their long awaited and highly requested expansion pack, “Discover University.” After years of angry tweets and desperate begging from Sims players, you can escape your real life college stresses by instead worrying about the college stresses of your Sims!

This isn’t the first expansion pack to

come from the “Sims 4” development team that players have been waiting eons for. It’s hard to imagine what life was like before the game implemented holidays and seasons in their appropriately named “Seasons” expansion pack; and while “Cats & Dogs” received some negative criticism for being somewhat incomplete and requiring a separate, $10 purchase for the full experience, I still find it impossible to play my game without having my Sims run into a stray cat and adopting it.

Other packs like “Get Famous” however, received mostly negative reviews. Despite the fact that people had been waiting for an expansion

which would add a Hollywood style world to play in and the ability for their Sims to become a celebrity, the pack was overwhelmingly incomplete and buggy, requiring players themselves to add the missing toilets that developers neglected to include in the final build.

For $40, “Get Famous” felt like a tragedy to those who pre-ordered it only to receive something hardly worth the money. Fans wondered if maybe spending this much money on a game where you simulate somebody else’s life to escape your own just wasn’t worth it. Well…maybe.

Previews of “Discover University” look much more promising than previ-

ous expansions and Sims fans are taking notice. According to early reviews of the pack from those who received early access, the expansion features two universities and three types of living arrangements along with school mascots, a debate team, soccer club, roommates, bicycles, robotics, beer pong, graduation parties, and so much more!

After viewing some of the early access content myself, this is promising to be one of the better expansion packs as long as players can dish out $40 extra on November 15th.

All I can say is it will be very hard to keep my fingers off the purchase

Zoos need to end animal cruelty now

By KATIE SWANSON

Staff Writer Zoos have always been considered a place of learning, excitement and a place to understand animals and their habitats from other areas all around the world. Some refer to zoos as a menagerie, a zoological garden or an animal park.

However, they are all used for the same purpose and this is to hold animals in captivity for visitors to view. It has been long debated on whether or not this is hurting the animals more than helping.

For many years, zoos have been considered a place to bring your kids for a fun afternoon. The lifestyle of the ani-

mals is not always taken into consideration. Some zoos take this into account better than others. Many hold animals that are not native to that part of the world and don’t thrive in the foreign environment.

Zoo funding is not endless. They receive most of their money from independent donations, memberships and ticket sales, therefore, it the zoo is not a successful as they anticipated, the enclosures will not have as many resources as the animals may need. Funding is critical for the proper treatment of the animals Inadequate funding leads to a decrease in the amount of food available and reduce medical treatments, which

would ultimately affect the quality of life for the animals.

Many environmental conditions are not taken into consideration when creating a zoo and choosing which animals will be held there. The majority of the time the climate in the city is not the same climate as the animal is used to.

For example, how do you think a polar bear would feel in Mexico City? Or an elephant in New York City? The change in environment can cause many behavioral changes in animals such as aggression, not eating and not walking.

Some have used animals as a form of financial commodity. One of the worst cases is in China. They have used the

giant panda as a diplomatic tool. Zoos outside of China will frequently rent a giant panda for show. They have even gone as far as negotiating a trade deal with a giant panda on the table.

Animals should not be used as bargaining chips. Their lives are just as important as any other and should not be taken advantage of. People would think this is unethical if it was done with humans, and animals are no different.

This is only one example, but in many cases animals are treated as recreational objects.

Zoos do offer an educational outlet; unfortunately, many have lost sight of something that should be their mission

and are more focused on the revenue instead of the scientific processes that are required for a healthy lifestyle.

When a zoo experiences a surplus of animals, some rely on killing the animals they cannot take care of to eliminate the surplus. When they are no longer needed, the animals are simply disposed of rather than released or moved to another facility.

All zoos should examine their mission and ensure that the experiences of the animals are a top priority. Perhaps reducing the number of zoos and raising the quality of life for the animals there is a way to make the world a better place.

In the fall while everyone is falling over themselves for the clout associated with pumpkin spice everything, I just have to hold out hope for peppermint.

As soon as the middle of November comes along, with the most festive cups from Starbucks carrying this delectable drink it makes me almost like Christmas. There is no way to go to any holiday party without candy canes, peppermint room freshener, or, if you’re lucky, peppermint coffee creamer.

Peppermint is basically the backbone of my survival during the winter. While all things peppermint are great, the real winner of the season is the mocha, or the Stephen’s

Candy Cane Hot Chocolate, the one with the bear on it.

There is something absolutely exhilarating about going to Walmart and getting the huge jar of the candy cane hot chocolate, always the one with the bear on the front.

I distinctly remember when I was a small child and my mom would take me to Walmart, and on the side of aisles in one of those basket bodegas, there were individual envelopes of Stephen’s hot cocoa.

We would get a couple and then we would drink them at night. The hot chocolate would be sipped down and the pieces of candy cane would be stuck to the mug, and of course eight year old me would get

my hand stuck in mugs getting those pieces. Either way, mocha or hot cocoa is the ultimate winner.

I will slightly concede though, that pumpkin spice flavor is not horrible, but it in no way holds a candle to peppermint. I personally have used Tiger Dollars to tell you this. Starbucks is winning with their marketing off of the holiday spirit, but they are really winning in the winter time with the mint and festive cups.

However, November is far too early for Christmas music— yeah I said it. Despite the lack of Thanksgiving music avaliable, playing Christmas music this early in November causes me to start to grow tired and annoyed by the Christmas

music constantly playing.

Yet, the fact that I can get away from Thanksgiving to get a peppermint mocha brings me a kind of solace I can’t begin to describe. I have so many memories about peppermint anything, and it makes me so happy to smell and see the red-striped candy canes everywhere this time of year. It is always able to sending me back to being young and drinking this cocoa with my mom, exciting in my soul.

The real excitement, however, is the feeling that comes with giving it to my friends and seeing them like it too. I may not like Christmas, but gosh dang, I sure love anything peppermint and especially those peppermint drinks.

Peppermint flavor is finally back in stores

By ASHLYN REED Staff Writer There is a special product that only hits the shelves during the winter and is hands down the best part of this nasty time of year. What is that product you’re asking?

It’s peppermint mochas and other peppermint drinks. One of the best flavors in the universe is coffee, like coffee ice cream and coffee caramels.

Add another wonderful flavor to that, like mint? Sign me up!

Peppermint is good year round, don’t get me wrong, but when fall comes around and everyone is flocking to the stores for party foods, there is a very underappreciated flavor that encapsulates the winter spirit.

Pete Buttigieg is our best choice for President

By SYDNEY MULLINS Staff Writer Pete Buttigieg, or Mayor Pete, has become a high polling candidate in the Democratic race for the 2020 presidential election and has stolen the hearts of many young democrats. As a Rhodes Scholar, war veteran and a speaker of eight different languages, Buttigieg demonstrates many of the critical characteristics of a leader of the American people. Although his qualifications on paper are outstanding, Pete is much more than a set of skills and facts.

It is my belief that Pete Buttigieg is who America needs as the Democratic candidate and eventual president, due to his dedication to restoring the fractured political climate. Pete’s platform is centered around the idea that every person has a seat at the table, including immigrants, people within the LGBTQ+ community, people of color, impoverished Americans and many more.

One of Buttigieg’s proposals intended to unite America is the Douglas Plan.

The Douglas Plan’s goal is to speak out and prevent systematic racism. Buttigieg plans to uplift economically degraded communities that have been designed to keep people of color down.

He also plans to propose reparation policies and to

provide greater reproductive rights to African American women, who have historically been given unjust medical care which has resulted in injury and death. The Douglas Plan is specifically centered around the rights of African Americans, although there are many other policies proposed concerning other ostracized groups and restoring the rights of fellow Americans.

Buttigieg’s goal of equality goes farther into the economic scope. A hot topic in this area is health care. Pete’s platform concerning health care is universal care for all who want it. This plan provides health care provided by the federal government but still allows privatized insurance, meaning Americans have the choice of whether or not they opt into the Federal health care plan.

Another plan concerning Buttigieg’s goal of economic equality is the enforcement of labor laws and investing in working families. Pete hopes to provide cheaper housing and education for impoverished Americans.

Buttigieg also has a passion for restoring America as a leading humanitarian country. Pete believes that America should have a compassionate and fair policy concerning immigration and foreign aid.

He plans to end the separation of families at the border.

This plan includes evaluating the ICE and CBP for

wrongdoing and stopping the targetting of immigrant communities for deportation. It is through these plans that Buttigieg if given the chance, will help to lower the fear felt by immigrants within America in its present time.

Pete Buttigieg’s platform of inclusion also includes adding to and restoring the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans.

This includes lifting the transgender military ban, passing the Equality Act, prohibiting discrimination for couples looking to adopt or foster, and banning conversion therapy.

Buttigieg is looking for the future of equality and bringing it the present where none have fear of discrimination or any act of hate within America.

These policies are centered around the idea of bringing the American people together and attempting to facilitate healing for those who have experienced discrimination. His goal as president would be to make America a place of inner peace and acceptance for all.

Pete Buttigieg deserves a chance to change the culture of America to a new era of respect and reasons. America desperately needs this healing, and it is up to the people to decide who they want to represent them in order to achieve it. This choice, to me as well as many others, is to elect Pete Buttigieg for President in 2020.

Have you heard about Georgetown’s Bad Weather Plan?

Cold weather might be your favorite time of the year, but are you ready for it so early on in the year? Well, here are some helpful tips that you should know concerning delays and closures at GC! Delayed opening: __-hour delay.

Please note: this plan delays the opening of campus; it means that we cancel classes that take place before the campus opens. When there is a one-hour delay on Monday, Wednesday or Friday, 8 a.m. classes are cancelled and 9 a.m. classes meet as scheduled. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8 a.m. classes are canceled and 9:30 a.m. classes meet as scheduled.

When there is a two-hour delay on Monday, Wednesday or Friday, 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. classes are cancelled; 10 a.m. classes meet as scheduled. On Tuesday or Thursday, 8 a.m. classes are canceled, and 9:30 classes begin at 10 a.m. The rest of the day’s classes meet as scheduled.

Recipe meal prep:

the drink Pairing an apple cider with this meal is a fantastic choice! Cider is a great substitute for a hot coffee, because you can drink it late at night without all the caffeine. This time of year, cider is very popular and can be purchased at most local stores. Ciders come in all different flavors, but I reccommend apple cider to partner well with the spices of the Fiesta Chicken!
