The annual trip will now shift its focus to a different community, but Ingber and his students want their work in the original village to endure after their departure.

“What we said was that we were ready to come for 10 years. We are ready to be as involved DV ZH FDQ JLYHQ WKH Ă€QLWH GLmension of what we can do. But if we do that for 10 years, we would have raised up 120 amazing Xavier students with experiences that will last them for decades, and we would have spent half a million bucks. But, in the 11th year, when that child is sick, that child is going to die. So really, what are we doing?â€? Ingber said. The small village the team visited in Guatemala had no doctor to care for the 278 families living there. However, there is a thirdyear medical student attending Guatemala’s medical school that will take over what the doctors and Xavier students are leaving behind. There are also a few

young women who are nursing assistants to provide care to the community and help with the clinic. “The sustainability aspect of this trip is something I am very passionate about,� student Sean Lewis said. “Not only does this trip inspire us as aspiring medical doctors and nurses by immersing ourselves in the culture and giving us amazing experiences, but we wanted to make sure this helped out the people over there.� The team also successfully put an end to the chronic diarrhea that affected almost all of the infants born in the small village, as well as improved the dental hygiene of all of the village’s population through health education.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Speakers, events aim to raise awareness BY HANNAH SGAMBELLONE Staff Writer Though it was once a taboo topic of conversation, campus rape is now a much more common subject of conversation and controversy. After media-grabbing preventative measures such as Lady Gaga’s “Til It Happens to You” DQG WKH GRFXPHQWDU\ ÀOP ´7KH Hunting Ground,” sexual assault on college campuses can no longer be ignored. This April, Xavier is taking several steps to combat sexual assault on and off campus. Xavier hosted awareness-raising events such as the Phallacies male theater troupe, who spoke on men’s role in ending rape culture. On April 20th, students will have the opportunity to both stand in solidarity with survivors (men and women) of sexual assault and to protest the violent crimes these people have experienced in the Take Back the Night March that will begin at Bellarmine Chapel. The Take Back the Night March is a movement that began in the 1970s, with groups of women in Brussels and Philadelphia marching the streets of their respective

Sexual Assault Awareness Month is an annual campaign dedicated to promoting consent, eliminating rape culture and educating individuals on sexual assault.

cities at night to protest the lack of action against perpetrators of sexual assault. Take Back the Night uses its history of women banding together to bring about change in the way that campus rape and sexual assault is perceived and approached. The event is geared toward protesting and preventing sexual violence in all its forms. There is a citywide march taking place in April, and the Center for Diversity and Inclusion encourages students to participate.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month continues at Xavier with the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes on April 22, a solidarity event geared primarily toward a male audience. Finally, on April 28, Kennedy Auditorium will be hosting special guest speaker Mike Pistorino, a sexual violence activist speaking on The Hero’s Tool Guide to Ending Sexual Violence. Pistorino is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and continues to be a speaker and advocate for survivors.

taught at John Carroll University. “At the time there was a federal program with the National Science Foundation (NSF) called Science Factory Fellows, and it was a program that encouraged the improvement of the teaching of math and science of college campuses,” Flaspohler said. “It gave people with at least six years of college teaching experience a chance to go back and have a year with virtually everything paid for by the NSF.” After receiving a NSF fellowship, Geschke got a PhD in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University. Soon after, Geschke, a Cleveland native, moved to California to work for Xerox, where he met his future business partner. Geschke cofounded Adobe Systems Inc. with John Warnock in 1982. Since the creation of Adobe, Geschke received many awards, including the National Medal of Technology and Innovation

and Entrepreneur of the Year. Additionally, in 2011, Geschke was awarded the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters from Xavier. Flaspohler spoke highly of him. “Say nice things about him, because he is a really good guy,” Flaspohler said. “I remember having conversations with him about his approach towards running a big business. I think he learned a lot about being a man for others, here and at other places he went to school. It really affected how that business was built.” Dr. William Larkin was the chair of the mathematics department while Geschke and Flaspohler were in school. “I was very proud of their achievements in later life. He [Geschke] was an excellent student,” Larkin said. According to Flaspohler, Geschke currently lives in Photo courtesy of acm.org.

He once resided in Los Atlos, Ca. with his wife Nan.

Those who may have experienced sexual abuse on or off campus are reminded that the Center for Diversity and Inclusion offers FRQÀGHQWLDO DGYRFDF\ DQG SURtection resources and encourages victims to reach out. The Title IX RIÀFH DOVR FRQWLQXHV WR EH D VDIH place for male and female victims of sexual assault to report. Sexual Assault Awareness Month 2016 concludes with the promise from the Center for Diversity and Inclusion that there

will also be continued prevention education and training next year throughout the school year. It is the beginning steps taken by a community committed to preventing sexual violence and protecting its students. According to the movement, these opportunities to be educated about sexual assault and stand in solidarity with victims of this violence move Xavier toward becoming a community truly for and with others.

Staff Writer One of Xavier’s most noteable alumni is Charles Geschke, co-creator of Adobe Systems Inc. Geschke graduated in 1962 with a bachelor’s degree in Latin, and in 1963 he earned his master’s in mathematics. Adobe is a leading transnational publishing and digital software company, responsible for many groundbreaking creations, such as Photoshop, Adobe Reader and the PDF. Retired mathematics professor and 1963 graduate Dave Flaspohler was a friend of Geschke’s. “I was a student at the same time he was,” Flaspohler said. “I was a year ahead of him. I was a graduate student when he was a senior. We were pretty close friends. He actually helped me move into a house when I was a graduate student.” According to Flaspohler, after graduating from Xavier, Geschke

Advice: ‘Gotta catch ’em all’

Why Ash knew how to love

Be slow. Be patient. Dating is an especially tricky game for our generation. It seems that if anyone makes a wrong move or takes a step too quickly, or too slowly, the relationship dies faster than it started. Dating is similar to the end of PokĂŠmon. How? Think back to the end of the game, after you’ve beaten the Elite Four, and your only task is to capture the Legendary PokĂŠmon. The trick is to weaken it, so when you throw your pokĂŠball at it you’ll be able to capture it. The point is to get the PokĂŠmon to where it’s not strong enough to break free. We all remember how this game worked. I’m not saying when you’re dating someone your goal is to weaken them and break them down. Or that the end goal is to capture the person you like.

Opinion: Let pros groom future pros BY ANDREW UTZ

Staff Writer Every year at Xavier, the end of season discussion becomes who is going to go pro or not. So far, we have had goalkeeper Dallas Jaye sign with the newly-formed FC Cincinnati as well as some of the basketball team desire to participate in the NBA draft combine. While Jaye does not have any eligibility remaining for his collegiate career, sophomore guard Trevon Bluiett and junior forward Jalen Reynolds each have some time left to either continue playing for Xavier or become professional athletes. Schools spend vast amounts of time with high school students in order to recruit them to their athletics program. ESPN has its own ranking of high school recruits for fans to follow who may be joining the program for the next season. Xavier already has three commitments for next year. While this is no different than a regular draft, the amount of time and funds the schools invest in these recruits makes them more of an amateur league for the professionals to evaluate, like the NCAA sport system is the intro-

Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Most of us were taught the golden rule at a young age, and for me it was through a touching kindergarten graduation song. “Do unto others as you would do unto you,� sung by a chorus of 5-year old-children truly warms the soul. You would think that at such a young age, our undeveloped, fragile minds would not be able to grasp the concepts of a rule that seems to be so challenging for many grown adults in our world today.

Although mainly associated with Christianity, the golden rule is a moral code that individuals across faiths attempt to abide by.

Free hugs were given out on Monday, but if you missed it, don’t let that stop you from continuing to spread the love on your own. Today, you can join the Center for Interfaith Community Engagement and the Multicultural, Gender and Women’s Center as they build a wall of expression and remembrance for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Civil Rights Movement. All are invited to write the hateful words that have been said to them on the wall. This wall of hatred and ignorance will then be symbolize breaking the silence about hatred within our community. The event, From Fear to Freedom: Fighting Islamophobia, will be held at 7 p.m. today at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. It will explore the fear and prejudice against Islam while working to shape a more inclusive society. If you are looking to enjoy good food and company, stop by the Interfaith Shabbat Dinner Experience at 5:30 p.m. on April 15, in the cafeteria.

RULE WEEK

These signs (right) displayed in the middle of the Xavier Yard illustrate the Golden Rule in different faiths.

Golden Rule EVERY DAY

Everyone knows the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be treated. However, it is not applied as readily as it should be. Here are a few things that you can do around campus: 1. Say hello to a stranger. If you see someone eating alone in the caf or walking toward the same building as you, channel the spirit of the week and start a conversation. You may even make a new friend. 2. Learn about diversity. We have a tendency to separate ourselves from people who are “different.â€?

If you keep a smile on your face and laughter in your heart, you can spread positivity and generosity. 4. Perform a random act of kindness. Whether this is for a friend or a stranger, it never hurts to do a little something nice for another person. 5. Pay it forward. If you have been the recipient of a random act of kindness, pay it forward! Create a wave of kindness and acceptance that spreads throughout the campus. 6.
