May I see your title and resignation, please? Athletics department teeters between Title IX compliance and violation
by Lillian Boyd The Humboldt State Athletics Department violated NCAA Title IX regulations for the first time since 2001 due to the men’s soccer season suspension. Because of the ratio between male participants and money spent on scholarships, the department cannot comply with standards set by Title IX — legislation designed to ban gender discrimination within an educational program. Tom Trepiak, the associate director of athletic affairs, oversees HSU’s compliance with NCAA regulations and Title IX. “Title IX is the law of the land,” Trepiak said. “The NCAA is modeled after it.” Meeting compliance requires the ratio of male and female athletes to be within five percent difference of the amount of enrolled students. Scholarships must be within one percent. Athletic Director Dan Collen made the decision to issue scholarships despite the suspension and Title IX violation. “Since we lost 33 men’s soccer players [to the suspension] while scholarships were still granted, our numbers are out of whack,”

Trepiak said. The department will submit an Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act report to the U.S. Board of Education in the fall and expect an issued violation. After which, a follow-up report specifying solutions to any compliance issues will be submitted. There is a three-year gap period for the solutions to pan out; Otherwise, the Office for Civil Rights, a sub-
agency within the U.S. Board of Education, takes further legal action. “The EADA report will say that the violation reason is the suspension,” Trepiak said. “The follow-up report will basically say that there won’t be any more suspensions. Pretty simple.” However, this is not the HSU athletic department’s first encounter with a Title IX
controversy. In a lawsuit between former track and field coach David Wells and the California State University Board of Trustees, Wells claimed that his contract was not renewed due to his complaints in regards to HSU’s noncompliance with Title IX. Wells advocated that women’s See “Soccer suspension violates Title IX” on page 10

It was Friday morning, five days after the Boston Marathon bombings and one day after College of the Redwoods faced a bomb threat. A preacher wearing a gray baseball cap, an orange shirt and a flowing blue skirt stood on the Humboldt State University Quad and declared: “I came to blow myself up for Jesus.” A student called university police at 11:11 a.m. to inform them of the preacher’s words. When UPD Chief of Police Lynne Soderberg arrived, she said Angela Cummings’ statements were protected by freedom of speech. “We don’t take that as a suicidal statement,” Soderberg said. “We need to take it in context. She has a right to free speech, as long as it remains non-threatening. We just make sure it’s in a peaceful way, as long as it doesn’t interfere with education.” Cummings, of Highways and Hedges Ministries, made her comment one hour into her preaching while a crowd of about 100 people gathered to watch her on the university quad. Many students and community members watched and some responded to her. “I’d like to be martyred sooner than later,” the Evangelical Christian preacher said. “If somebody wants to kill me, I pray you don’t have a hard time in jail, but knocking me out would be great.” Students yelled out in shock, after Cummings said she came to blow herself up. Voices called out, “WHAT?” and “Are you serious?” Even students who had not been listening to her preach had turned their heads in response to her mention of a bomb. Many spectators left the quad after the statement. UPD confirmed they received
“The Bible calls all people everywhere to repent.”- Angela Cummings | Samantha Corrales
dozens of calls in regards to the preacher and the crowd. Two of the calls were made to report the potential bomb threat; one from the student and one from a university staff member, according to UPD. Some reports suggested that students protesting the preacher looked like they might become physical with her. Shortly after the two calls were made, UPD officers Chance Carpenter and Sandi Bertain arrived to observe the situation and talk to students. They did not approach Cummings or take any action. Chief Soderberg said the preacher did not violate university policy since Cummings spoke at the university quad — a designated public forum area.
UPD confirmed that there was no further follow-up to the statement and Cummings’ words were taken anecdotally and not as a literal bomb threat. But some students, like HSU freshman Job René, did take Cummings’ words as a threat. “I’m not against freedom of speech, but this is a whole new level,” the 19-year-old said. “I found it almost ironic, like, is she threatening us?” HSU biochemistry sophomore Ashley DePaz did not take the preacher’s words lightly. “Especially with the Boston See “Minister preaches at HSU” on page 2

Men’s soccer received $42,375 for travel expenses for the 2012-2013 academic year. Because the men and women’s teams share buses when traveling to away games, the soccer program spent money for empty seats. But not all the traveling funds were wasted. Athletic Director Dan Collen estimates that more than half of the funds meant for travel remain unexhausted. Any unspent money left over for a sports team rolls over to a scholarship fund at the end of the fiscal year. “In a way, the men’s soccer season being suspended saved [the team] money,” Collen said. “Of course that wasn’t the goal, but it’s still a reality.” NCAA regulations state that an athlete can only play for four years at a collegiate level. When the men’s season was suspended, it did not count as one of the four years. Collen estimated that more than $20,000 of the men’s soccer budget remained after the suspended season. However, exact numbers are not available until the end of the semester when coaches compile a report on the fiscal year’s expenditures, receipts and revenue.

Christian Johnson, the former head coach of the men and women’s soccer team, declined to speak with The Lumberjack. On April 3, he announced his resignation to his team. Men’s soccer will not keep all of the leftover funds; Because of Title IX, what remains of the men’s soccer travel funds will be split and distributed to the women’s team. Amber Woodcock, a sophomore goalkeeper, considers Title IX to be a fair method to find a balance between genders. “There’s a constant emphasis on men in sports, which isn’t fair,” Woodcock said. “Besides, [returning] seniors on the men’s team didn’t lose eligibility and they are going to get a second chance at a full season when our [women’s] seniors don’t.”

UC Board Student Representative Jacob Bloom calls for more transparacy at last week’s UC Board meeting. | Sebastian Hedberg
The $200 million question What the $*@% is the UC Board?
More than $200 million in student fees rests in the hands of the Humboldt State University Center Board of Directors. Jacob Bloom, one of the student-at-large representatives on the board said that a lack of clarity and student involvement in the board’s decisions reveals unethical and possible lawbreaking violations. Bloom, along with environmental planning major Jerry Dinzes introduced a student engagement proposal to the board in order to change this. The proposal asks for space for public comment on the board’s agenda, more descriptions of items that the board plans to discuss in its meetings and an overall greater student presence in its planning processes. “There’s no student input,” Bloom said. “No publicity of the board, no transparency and we’re not accountable for the decisions. So that’s what we tried to address in the student engagement proposal. But it’s just a tiny step towards that.” Dinzes said he is familiar with planning processes and wants the board to ask for student input before, instead of after, making decisions. “[The board] just doesn’t feel the need to reach out to students as much,” Dinzes said. “I think
from their viewpoint it makes things easier, but that’s not what makes a good planning process. You need to bring people in before spending their money.” With a student body around 8,000, each HSU student pays $100 every semester to the University Center, which creates about $800,000 in funds. The center governs places like the Student Recreation Center, Center Arts and the bookstore. The board meets once a month. Last Thursday, the 16-member board, headed by University Center Executive Director Dave Nakamura met to discuss and vote on this proposal, along with changes to the board agenda. A few students also attended the meeting and spoke up during public comment to voice concerns. The Depot renovation budget sparked the most comment. Students questioned the board’s decision and asked for clarity about why the budget passed with minimal student input. Taylor Cannon, a 30-year-old HSU graduate sociology major participated in the public comment about the Depot, and also had doubts about any change to the board’s decision-making process. “I feel satisfied that there was open comment,” Cannon said. “But I don’t see processes
changing. Also there needs to be more students.” Victor Arredando, a 26-yearold sociology major said that despite speaking up during the meeting, he still doubts there will be any future changes with the boards’ decisions about budget.
“T
here’s no student input. No publicity of the board, no transparency and we’re not accountable for the decisions.”

board members and the public on April 11. “Typically when you do public comment you don’t go back and forth with people,” Dinzes said. “Instead you listen to people and then make decisions based off what they say. But [the board] also isn’t used to public comment.” Students will get the chance to participate more in future decisions, as long as they are aware of board meetings. A major part of Bloom and Dinzes’ proposal includes advocating for better publicity from the board and more descriptive meeting agendas. Bloom said, even though public comment successfully happened on April 11, it is important for the board to officially encode the participation of the public into the agendas. “Even though it was a great victory,” Bloom said, “without amending the bylaws to incorporate it, it’s all going to disappear in four years when students graduate. We will have no institutional memory of it.” Bloom said it takes a long time to amend bylaws, and hopes the executive committee considers the proposal and does not let it disappear. He said his participation on the board included a lot of frustration this past year.

“[The board] needs to be more transparent,” Arredando said. “I’m definitely going to be around more. I want to know what they do with our money.” Dinzes said the board is taking steps forward by allowing public comment, but there were too many exchanges between
Bloom said at the first big meeting the board had this year he had trouble even asking questions and receiving fair answers about different agenda items and decisions. He said that Peg Blake, HSU vice president of student affairs enforces everything Nakamura does and answers most of Blooms’ questions about the boards’ actions. “It’s just [Blake] affirming administration and businessas-usual practices,” Bloom said. Changes to the board meeting agenda include descriptions under each action item, changing the open forum to general board discussion and adding space for public comment to each item. Bloom and Dinzes hope that these changes will help the board work toward a more ethical governing process that includes students. “I heard a lot of bad stuff about how no one never knows who [the board members] are,” Bloom said. “People told me I had to fight for transparency on [the board] and I was like ‘whatever,’ but when I got on there I was like ‘holy cow I do,’ and part of that is just making sure people know they exist.”

bombings this past week, it’s threatening,” DePaz said. Tyler Coley, a 20-year-old College of the Redwoods student came to the HSU campus to support Cummings. His Bible study friends told him about Cummings, who first spoke on the HSU quad on Thursday. Coley said he wanted to see for himself what she was all about. “This is her civil calling from God,” he said. Coley said he believes blowing herself up for Jesus was not exactly what Cummings meant. “She was using the idea of a bomb, as an example of how preaching causes explosions in people and how you can set places on fire. It starts triggering things when the word of God is preached,” he said. “She probably could have used a better analogy, but a bomb threat wasn’t her intention.” An hour before her bomb announcement, as the clocktower on the quad struck 10 a.m., Cummings preached that homosexuality is a sin. “It’s wrong!” she screamed. “WRONG,” she said in unison with the clock tower bell sounding
10 times. “WRONG ... WRONG ... WRONG ... WRONG ... WRONG ... WRONG ... WRONG ... WRONG ... WRONG.” Alexander Stearns, a 22-year-old student, walked toward Cummings and yelled, “I had been silent for 18 years and I won’t be any longer.” The marine biology freshman tried to start a dialogue with Cummings, but she would not answer him. “I usually keep my mouth shut, but not today,” he said. fFriday was national Day of Silence, a student-led event that protests bullying and homophobia in schools. Participating students vow to be silent for the day, to bring awareness to the silencing effect bullied individuals experience from their harassment. Stearns said he considers Cummings’ preaching a form of bullying. “It’s fine for people to have beliefs, but not okay to hurt people,” he said. Stearns did not want Cummings to get more attention for her preaching, but he said that he felt better defending himself than doing nothing. Stearns grew up within the Mormon church until he came out
as gay when he was 18. “I have been hearing all my life from the Mormon church that I’m going to hell and that it’s wrong to be gay, and I’m done hearing that,” Stearns said. Aidan Stieglitz, a cellular biology sophomore, interrupted Cummings and yelled, “I’m gonna make this quick, because I have to go eat breakfast. I feel like we need love.” “Especially after what’s happening in Boston, we need love,” Stieglitz said. “If her version of the Bible is the way to heaven, then I don’t wanna go,” the 20-year-old said. “Tonight, let’s all take five minutes and think of those who have committed suicide or hurt themselves because of hate.” Cummings lives in her car and travels to different campuses to preach. Her message: “The Bible says you’re either a child of God or the devil.” Christa Canady, a 19-year-old freshman said she was at the quad when Cummings said that Muslims would burn in hell. “She preached that the followers of Muhammad would follow him into hell. It was so ignorant to me,” Canady said. “If anything, a real
www.TheLumberjack.org
Christian knows that Muslims and Jewish people believe in the same God. She was simply speaking out of pure hatred.” Canady, a practicing Muslim herself, said the preacher’s words fell under freedom of speech, but that Cummings was still harmful to the community. “The worst part about it was that I don’t think she even realized that she was being harmful,” the film major said. In preaching of her past, Cummings shared with the audience that she used to be addicted to cocaine. “I even sold myself a few times,” she said. “When I lived for the devil, it was expensive.” After her spiritual rebirth, when Cummings said God forgave all her sins, she said she was called to share it with others and stop them from sin. “Jesus is not mister tolerant. God is a judge and you need a good lawyer,” she said during her speech. “Not a lot of people will make it to heaven.” Some students, like 21-year-old Maria Bocardo, publically showed their support for Cummings by walking up to her and giving her a hug and a flower. “Everyone was attacking
her. I wanted her to feel that it was okay and I wanted to tell her I wasn’t judging her,” the Spanish and Spanish education double major said. Stieglitz, the sophomore who made his own speech that love is needed to contrast Cummings’ hate, later came back to the crowd and urged those around him to respect her. “[Even] though she won’t respect us back, respect her,” he said. Stearns, the freshman who called Cummings’ words harassment, said he was proud of HSU and the students who stood up for themselves and each other. “It was a unifying experience,” he said. In closing, Cummings preached, “I’m in love with a Jewish carpenter and I’m gonna marry him someday.” At noon, she yelled, “May God have mercy on this campus,” and Cummings packed up her chair and left the quad.

Just a few drinks are too many National Alcohol Screening Day reveals drinking myths and reality
by Patrick Evans College students who drink alcohol often drink more than what is considered a safe amount. Chris Defoney, a senior environmental science major, said he usually drinks a six pack every other night during the school week. “And then Thursday sometimes up to ten [beers]. Thursday, Friday [and] Saturday get a little out of hand,” Defoney said. Defoney said the first time he was drunk was in eighth grade, when he and friends stole liquor from their parents. “In high school it was maybe once a month, and then it increased from there: once a month, once a week, twice a week, three times, four times, five times a week,” Defoney said. During the weekend, Defoney said he often binge drinks at bars or house parties. He said most of his friends share his drinking habits. “I think it’s very widespread throughout colleges, and I feel like especially here in the winter time a lot of people drink more, because it’s depressing, dark, gray and rainy all the time,” Defoney said. Defoney said alcohol seemed glamorous when he was underage and it became a way to socialize and fit in. He said he still wants to drink after college, but plans to slow down. Screening for Mental Health Incorporated, a national organization dedicated informing the public about mental health, did research that suggests three drinks a day for women and four drinks a day for men at least once a year is at-risk drinking and may indicate or lead to alcohol dependence. Screening for Mental Health Inc. sponsored a telephone survey
of drinking habits among 1,000 Boston citizens on April 10. The survey was part of National Alcohol Screening Day, an event that asked 40,000 people about their drinking habits and perceptions this year. Angela Devereaux, marketing and communications manager at Screening for Mental Health Inc., said the survey shows many people misjudge the dangers of alcohol use and addiction. Twenty percent of respondents said heavy drinking was a normal
drunk driving and engaging in unsafe sex. Drinking does long term damage to the body as well. Alcohol use can lead to dementia, stroke, cancer, liver disease and depression. Half of men and more than one third of women reported at least one at-risk drinking incident in the past year, according to the April survey. “The highest [drinking rate] is 18 to 35 year old men, and 70 percent of that demographic reported at least one at-risk drinking episode in the past year,” Devereaux said. Josh Bancroft, a senior environmental science major, feel like works the front counter of especially here in the Arcata Theatre Lounge. Bancroft said he sells the winter time a more than 100 drinks a night, lot of people drink though he only serves beer more, because it’s and does not work at the Arcata Theatre Lounge’s bar. depressing, dark, “People come up and get gray and rainy all anywhere from one to three the time. or four, but we’re conscious and if the person’s like, drunk, we won’t serve ‘em, or we make them drink water,” environmental Bancroft said.

Instead of dreaming about chocolates and love, V-Day founders dream about a world without violence. Founded on Feb. 14, 1998 in New York City, V-Day serves as an organization to end violence against women and girls Created by Eve Ensler, an internationally acclaimed playwright and social activist, V-Day is on a global mission to create a safe world for women and girls. V-Day plays and fundraisers are held every year beginning on Valentine’s Day to demand the end of rape, incest and sex slavery. “A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant and a Prayer,” marks the final event this V-Day season. Premiering April 27 in Humboldt State’s Native Forum room at 8 p.m., the play explores a dozen different monologues from men and women. The performance covers everything from ending violence against women to being an active community member. By including men the play brings violence into a new light. The play will also be performed April 28 at 2 p.m. at the Eureka Women’s Club. Tickets are available for $10 at Wildberries Marketplace in Arcata. As the play director, Vanessa Pike-Vtriak is taking a stand against violence toward women. In her fourth year directing plays for V-Day, she continues to educate the Humboldt County community about sexual violence. “What drew me to this play is the involvement of men,” Pike-Vtriak said. “Men are usually the perpetrators in violence against women. For men to take part in this conversation and to stand in solidarity is important.” Cast member Niko Sol plays a social activist who advocates non-violent resolutions in society. As a child, his character witnesses his mother being physically abused by his father. This event is a catalyst in the creation of the social activist Howard Zinn. “Peaceful civil disobedience causes reforms,” Sol said. “Everything, everybody deserves respect and equality, but nobody deserves physical harm. This was Zinn’s mission.” Matthew Lutwen, an international studies major and the Associated Students vice president, performs as a New York Times journalist. While traveling in South-East Asia, his character witnesses children sold into sex trafficking. He has the experience of interviewing a young girl

who was trapped in this underground world. “[This play] creates a safe space to hear these stories, to internalize the issues and to move away from the media’s representation of the issues,” Lutwen said. “This is a place to go to get the real stories of women’s issues and of men’s issues, of every age.” As his character, Lutwen reflects on the violence he witnessed. To take part in this conversation of violence against women, as a male, is monumental. According to the National Violence Against Women Survey about 1.5 million women are raped and/or physically assaulted annually. As Eve Ensler said on her website, vday.org, “Women are not raping each other.” “By [being a part of this play,] I have become so much more of a human being,” Lutwen said. “I have a lasting empathy towards these women. I have a better understanding [of their pain].”

OMG I know who posted that For the last three months Humboldt State students have lurked behind computer screens reading each other’s dirty little secrets, all thanks to the Humboldt State Confessions Facebook page. This Facebook page joined the controversial trend of student confession pages, where students go to publicly share their secrets anonymously, on Jan. 24. If you are looking for the Humboldt State Confessions page though, you will not be able to find it anymore. The owner of the page showed the Lumberjack an email Courtney Haraldson, HSU social media coordinator, sent her. In the message, Haraldson told the owner of Humboldt State Confessions to change the name of her page or take it down.
The Lumberjack has a confession to make: we know the identity of the person behind Humboldt State Confessions. But we can not tell you her name because she does not want you to bug her. “Literally, impulse and boredom created this page,” the owner of Humboldt State Confessions said. The owner started the page with a single confession of her own. “One night I drunkenly wished upon a dandelion to get laid,” she said. In two months, Humboldt State Confessions received one thousand confessions and reached 1,700 “Likes.” Fans of the page like Mikayla Taylor, a psychology freshman, could check Humboldt State Confessions to catch up on the latest campus gossip. “It was like looking into the minds of other people,” Taylor said. “Kind of like tapping into the Humboldt consciousness.”

Humboldt State apparel in peril by Ryan Nakano The Logo at Large:
“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” For William Shakespeare, maybe there is nothing. But for Humboldt State, it means money, Wal-Mart and studentathlete scholarships. When HSU students and their proud parents wish to represent the university in the most fashionable way possible, many will choose to don sweatshirts, sweatpants, jackets and even socks with “Humboldt State,” “HSU” or “Jacks” printed across the fabric. And why not? It seems like an obvious way to support and give back to the university. But sometimes a simple tear in the fabric reveals more than one’s outer appearance, or in the case of HSU, the facade of school pride and the economic fuel to back it.
Working with Wal-Mart:
When a friend told Nina Ziccone, a sociology major and HSU Associated Students representative, that Wal-Mart sold HSU sweatshirts, she could not believe it. Ziccone paid a visit to the Wal-Mart in Eureka and to her surprise, her friend was right.
Ziccone struck up a conversation with HSU Director of Contracts and Procurement Michael Burghart. She found out that Burghart signed a contract between the HSU athletics department and The Cotton Gallery, a screen printing and embroidery company that distributes to Wal-Mart. The contract, signed July 20, 2012, grants the Eureka Wal-Mart the nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use the axe-shaped “J” and “Jacks” logo for distribution and sale purposes. In return, the HSU athletics department receives eight percent of the purchase price for each item bearing either logo. The athletic department brings in around $1,500 annually in merchandise sales, a small portion of the $218 million budgeted for student athlete scholarships. All revenue made from HSU apparel royalties go directly to HSU athletic scholarships. But even after Burghart explained the contract as a fundraiser for the athletics department, Ziccone found the indirect partnership with Wal-Mart unsettling. “Wal-Mart does not represent HSU,” Ziccone said. “If enough students are opposed to the contract between HSU and Wal-Mart, the athletics department might reconsider renewing the contract.” Dan Collen, the director of HSU athletics, and Stephanie Lane, the assistant
director of HSU athletics, both argue that the athletics department is not in contract with Wal-Mart directly and said that even if there was no contract, Wal-Mart would still use the Jacks logo. “We have no real connection with Wal-Mart, we just get a check every year,” Lane said. “Trust me, when Wal-Mart first moved into Eureka I was one of those people opposed; I try not to shop there.” But if Wal-Mart is able to use the Jacks logo regardless of any contract, it begs the question:
Logos for sale
Who has the rights to royalties?
The HSU athletics department trademarked the axe-shaped “J” and “Jacks”. Other than athletics, HSU does not own the rights to its own logo. The words “Humboldt State University” and “HSU” are not trademarked in anyway. Although HSU does not trademark its own logo, the California State University system protects each CSU’s name under California Education Code Section 89005.5: “Education Code section 89005.5 provides that the name “California State University,” and the names of all of the CSU campuses, nicknames and abbreviations belong to the State of California.”
No Contracts with Costco
A conversation with Gary Swihart, the Eureka Costco Wholesale manager,
April 24, 2013
revealed their Costco location carries $35 HSU sweatshirts twice a year. T h e sweatshirts come in from Campus Drive, a roadshow vendor that sells university apparel to different corporations and big businesses. But HSU did not give Campus Drive the rights to use the university’s name. In fact, no contract exists between HSU and
Campus Drive. What of the infamous flannel wearing, heavily bearded lumberjack mascot? Does he belong to HSU or does he exist as a free agent who could fall to the hands of the highest bidder? The mystery of Lucky the Lumberjack is still under investigation. Ryan Nakano may be contacted at thejack@humboldt.edu

The owner of Humboldt State Confessions remained apathetic through the marketing and communications department’s inquisition on her page. “What can they do to me really,” the owner said. “I’ll just start a new one.” With a few keystrokes and mouse clicks, she created a new page for students. This time she avoided any intervention from the marketing and communications department by calling the page “Hills Stairs and Umbrellas Confessions.” Or HSU Confessions for short.

*All names have been changed for anonymity unless otherwise specified. In honor of Sexual Assault and Child Abuse awareness month and with graduation parties around the corner, it’s time to take a step back. Sex can be fun, but when it comes to consent it’s a serious issue. But sometimes there’s a blurred line about what qualifies as consent. Sometimes in a college town like Arcata, alcohol, sex and parties go hand in hand. It’s important to understand and know your rights. North Coast Rape Crisis Team Community Outreach Coordinator Paula Arrowsmith-Jones attended an HSU “Know Your Rights Event” last Wednesday and in a later interview provided insight about how to define the blurred line of sexual consent when alcohol is involved. “People drink and have sex. There’s a lot of confusing sex … and there’s gray areas [between] being drunk and blacked out,” Arrowsmith-Jones said. Under California State law sexual consent can not be given if a person is under the influence of alcohol or any other recreational mind-altering drugs. Socially, especially in college, it’s common behavior to go out, get fucked up and try to get laid. In a technical sense some people don’t know the regulation of consent and are violating it, but when alcohol is involved intentions are important to consider. HSU sophomore *Tyler often parties on the weekends. “Yeah I mean, I go out and party with friends, get drunk and hook up with girls,” the anthropology major said. “I’ve never thought it [the sex] wasn’t consenting.” Arrowsmith-Jones emphasized the importance of individual human experiences. She said We can evaluate consent and sexual assault situations but what it comes down to is human nature and the individual’s experience. The issue with sexual assault is human responsibility. Are people really taking responsibility for their actions — drunk or not? “Regardless of being drunk, a person’s intentions matter,” Arrowsmith-Jones said. “If I am sober enough to understand the other person is not with it, [it’s] exploiting [them]if I see an easy target.” The Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network’s website showed multiple national statistics related to sexual assault. About 80 percent of sexual assault victims are under the age of thirty, 53 percent of sexual assaults will never be reported and two-thirds of assaults are committed

by someone the victim knows. *Amber, a 24-year-old Arcata native, has blacked out from drinking and had sex before. “I’ve definitely gone out, gotten drunk, blacked out and have had sex with no memory of it the next day,” she said. “I woke up [once] next to a friend so I didn’t think twice about it. I don’t think my friends would take advantage [of me] especially if we were both blacked out.” Although there is gray area involved with the definition of consent, it doesn’t mean that you’re not a victim if you blacked out the night before, have no memory and wake up next to a friend or stranger. Arrowsmith-Jones said it would be difficult for a case to go to court if two people were blacked out from alcohol or drugs, have sex and there are no signs of force or manipulation. That being said, if you find yourself in that situation and feel violated or if you find yourself in a situation that you don’t quite understand, you’re still validated in your feelings. “There’s plenty of people walking around wishing they hadn’t [had sex]. It’s helpful if a person is allowed to say “this is bothering me”,” ArrowsmithJones said. Arrowsmith-Jones remembered a time she found herself in what I would call an “oh shit!” moment. When ArrowsmithJones married her now ex-husband, the newlyweds went on a honeymoon trip to Oregon for a friend’s wedding and bachelorette and bachelor parties. Arrowsmith-Jones did not really know anybody at the bachelorette party and what was supposed to be a calm, quiet night turned into a tequila drinking, shot taking night. “[I had] so many shots of tequila. I have a vague memory [of] stumbling upstairs,” she said. “[I] woke up in bed with my back to a man, I thought ‘holy crap! I sure hope that’s Elliot’.” Arrowsmith-Jones slowly turned and rolled onto her other side to face the unknown man in her bed. Luckily, she saw the mystery man was her new husband. Although it’s a funny story for Arrowsmith-Jones to tell now, the point is that when you drink it’s important to have people around who will look out for you. Arrowsmith-Jones was lucky she wasn’t assaulted by a stranger and that she made it to bed safely. “Drunk people can’t watch drunk people,” she said. It’s important to look out for your friends the best you can. Sometimes that means one person is
always sober when you go out, create a rotation and take turns. Arrowsmith-Jones said the only way rape can be stopped is if people choose not to rape. If you are ever assaulted, it’s not your fault. You should be able to walk down the street and not worry about being sexually violated. It’s also important to know that if you were under the influence of drugs or alcohol while you were assaulted, even if you’re under age, you won’t get in trouble with police. If you were or are ever sexually assaulted do not be afraid to report the incident. There are resources and people available to help support you. If you’re a sexual assault victim or feel like you’ve been violated sexually it’s important to know the available resources. NCRC has offices in Eureka and Crescent city as well as a 24 hour hotline — (707) 445-2881. ArrowsmithJones said it is possible to arrange a meeting with her or other NCRC team members through the HSU Student Health Center. The Student Health Center also provides counseling services and is in the process of hiring for an end to sexualized violence peer educator program in which qualified students inform about things from sexualized violence to stalking and relationships. - S.A.M Each week Sam will tackle a new sex related topic in The Lumberjack.

Softball sweeps UCSD; wins conference
by Lorrie Reyes
Bottom Right: Seniors Chrissy Stalf (center), Courtney Hiatt (number 12) and Claire Hoose celebrate. Photos provided by the HSU Athletic Department.
The Jacks (27-5 CCAA, 4012 overall) sit six games ahead of UCSD (21-11 CCAA, 28-20 overall) with four games left in the regular season. Head coach Frank Cheek knew beating UCSD was going to be tough since the Tritons swept the Jacks last year and were the 2012 national runner’s up. “It’s the first time we’ve ever swept them,” Cheek said. “We were picked sixth in this league, we knew we were better than that.” The Jacks proved they are better than sixth in the division. HSU is ranked first in the NCAA West Region and sixth in the nation. The team is also lead the nation with 88 total home runs. Sophomore Hannah Williams hit three home runs against UCSD, giving her a total of 14 home runs on the season. “We hit the ball hard. We’re in first place and can’t lose,”

Humboldt State sophomore and women’s softball outfielder Dani Randall stepped up to bat in a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the sixth inning of Game 2 on Saturday. Randall’s single to center-field against University of California, San Diego scored the go-ahead runs and sealed HSU’s first conference championship since 2009. Randall finished the weekend with three home runs, 12 runs batted in and went 8-for-12 in the sweep against UCSD. “I just don’t really think much [when I’m up to bat]. You kind of can’t think about it too much,” Randall said. “I just go up there [and think] ‘What do I have to lose?’ That’s my only mentality.” The HSU softball team clinched the California Collegiate Athletic Association regular season title after sweeping UCSD (11-3, 8-5, 11-3, 5-3).

Stalf ties HSU career homerun record Cheek said. “It’s nice to get that out of that way and relish in it.” 50 and counting
All-American senior first baseman Chrissy Stalf hit her 21st home run of the season against UCSD on Friday. Stalf is now tied for the most career home runs in HSU history with Talisha Pleasant, who played at HSU from 19972000. “I can’t get any higher right now,” Stalf said. “It feels great to be on top in the conference. It’s the best way to go out as a senior.” Stalf hit her 50th home run during the first game of the four-game series but still has four regular season games to break the record. “San Bernardino is coming in next week. They better watch out, we’re hot,” Cheek said. “I guarantee that Stalf will get her home run next week and maybe a couple more.”
Although the Jacks’ power is scoring runs, their pitching has also been key. Freshmen pitchers Katie Obbema and Lizzie Perez have a combined record of 36-8. Obbema pitched three out of the four game set with UCSD to bring her record to 20-3. “My freshman, sophomore and junior year we didn’t have much pitching. It’s crazy to know that we have two pitchers that come out and pitch a whole game,” Stalf said. “You can’t ask for any more from [Obbema and Perez]. They’re freshmen.” The Jacks will close out their regular season with four games against California State University, San Bernardino Friday and Saturday. The CCAA championship tournament begins May 3.

teams were disproportionately funded compared to the men’s teams. Despite expectations to violate Title IX, the department strives to meet other areas of compliance. Men’s soccer received $42,375 for travel expenses for the 2012-2013 academic year. Because the men and women’s teams share buses when traveling to away games, the soccer program spent money for empty seats. But not all the traveling funds were wasted. Athletic Director Dan Collen estimates that more than half of the funds meant for travel remain unexhausted. Any unspent money left over for a sports team rolls over to a scholarship fund at the end of the fiscal year. “In a way, the men’s soccer season being suspended saved [the team] money,” Collen said. “Of course that wasn’t the goal, but it’s still a reality.” NCAA regulations state that an athlete can only play for four years at a collegiate level. When the men’s season was suspended, it did not count as one of the four years. Collen estimated that more than $20,000 of

the men’s soccer budget remained after the suspended season. However, exact numbers are not available until the end of the semester when coaches compile a report on the fiscal year’s expenditures, receipts and revenue. Christian Johnson, the former head coach of the men and women’s soccer team, declined to speak with The Lumberjack. On April 3, he announced his resignation to his team. Men’s soccer will not keep all of the leftover funds; Because of Title IX, what remains of the men’s soccer travel funds will be split and distributed to the women’s team. Amber Woodcock, a sophomore goalkeeper, considers Title IX to be a fair method to find a balance between genders. “There’s a constant emphasis on men in sports, which isn’t fair,” Woodcock said. “Besides, [returning] seniors on the men’s team didn’t lose eligibility and they are going to get a second chance at a full season when our [women’s] seniors don’t.” Lillian Boyd may be contacted at thejack@humboldt.edu

I recently finished reading Sam Machado’s article on Satanism in last week’s Lumberjack. I thought this was an interesting choice for an article, but it does go along with The Lumberjack’s theme of pushing boundaries. I just have a few short comments to make. First, Machado notes that there are “well-known beliefs such as Christianity or Catholicism,” as though they are two different religions. There has been a lot of controversy about whether or not Catholics are indeed Christians or not. I want to clear up any confusion. Christianity is simply the umbrella term for all Christian denominations. So, all Catholics are Christian but not all Christians are Catholic. The topic of the article was controversial, as I think it was to be expected. Being a Catholic myself, my past experience with Satanists includes the vandalism of my church and robbery of a spiritual relic, with “The Satanic Bible” left behind as a calling card. I know Satanists as those who hold a “black mass” and steal the Eucharist — the sacrament of the altar ––in mockery of Catholic (Christian) traditions. To me, this article could just as easily have been written about the Ku Klux Klan, with the underlying message being that they are simply misunderstood. There are literally thousands of religions and beliefs in the world today. I question The Lumberjack’s decision to choose one that is among the most controversial of all.
The March 13, 2013 edition, of The Lumberjack ran an article titled “Man Is Born Free and Everywhere He Is in Chains.”. It addressed the fact that corporations overshadow the political system. It also explained that the Move to Amend coalition is working toward wrestling political power from corporations and returning it to the people. Much needed attention was brought to the issue of corporate personhood and I would like to expand on it. There are two basic types of corporate personhood. One merely gives corporations the ability to engage in legal actions like entering contracts, suing and being sued. This lets corporations conduct business and is generally

accepted. What ought to be unacceptable is the other type of corporate personhood which lets corporations enjoy constitutional rights intended for individual human beings. The problem began with the 1886 case, Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad. The 14th Amendment, which guarantees persons equal protection under the law, was not referred to in the Supreme Court’s opinion. However in its statement of the facts of the case it set out the 14th Amendment as being the basis for the Southern Pacific Railroad Company’s claims. Because the court ruled in favor of Southern Pacific Railroad, the case has been cited in cases since
then which have granted corporations rights that are supposed to be reserved for human beings. In the most recent case in 2010, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, it was ruled that under the First Amendment the government could not restrict artificial entities from donating money to political campaigns. This implies that money is free speech which means artificial entities can use their vast resources to virtually buy elections. For this reason Move to Amend is working toward amending the U.S. constitution to abolish corporate personhood.

If you apply this statistic to Humboldt States’s undergraduate population of 7,222 students then there are 939 people who identify as vegetarian or vegan. That is a lot of students! If there are this many vegetarians and vegans on campus (there could be more) then where are all of the dining options for these students? Arcata itself is a very vegetarian and health-conscious consumer friendly town. However, the HSU dining facilities are behind the ball when it comes to providing healthy vegetarian and vegan options. Almost all students spend a portion of their week on campus and all students need to eat at some point during their day, even vegetarians. It is time that HSU stop being its own food island and embrace the local dining options that this fine town has to offer. Besides the vegetarian dining options being limited, there are also limited healthy eating options that feature whole foods. For example, if a student attempts to
buy a healthy snack at the Library Café they have only one option, a piece of fruit. Have you ever heard the expression, “you are what you eat?” Well, if this is the case then most students would equate to a bag of chips or a breakfast sandwich simply because these are the most available options on campus. Our local community is not only health conscious and physically active but also proactive about healthy eating options locally. HSU students are part of the Arcata community and deserve the types of healthy and affordable vegetarian options that are so abundant in this area. HSU students agree that we need more healthy, local, vegetarian and vegan options on campus. The Humnivore Café, a project by the Humboldt Student Food Collective, will provide all of these things to HSU students. The Humnivore Café, which will be a food truck on campus,
will provide delicious vegan food made menu is under $5) then get involved! from locally grown produce.

E D I TO R I A L If you wander the aisles of the Eureka Wal-Mart location you might notice Humboldt State apparel on the racks. On July 20 Michael Burghart, HSU director of contracts and procurement signed a contract with Cotton Gallery, a screen printing and embroidery company. The company distributes to WalMart, among other companies. The contract is between Cotton Gallery and the HSU athletics department. The athletics department makes eight percent on apparel sales. The money made from the sales — around $1,500 annually— goes to athletic scholarships. HSU does not have a copyright or trademark on the HSU logo or name. But HSU allows WalMart to sell apparel with the HSU logo on it. On the other hand, if you frequent Facebook, you may be familiar with the former Humboldt State Confessions page. It was a page for HSU students to anonymously confess their dirty little secrets. The confessions
ranged from roommate horror stories to missed connections. When HSU caught wind of the confessions page, Courtney Haraldson, HSU’s social media coordinator, sent the confessions page owner an email. In the email Haraldson told the owner of the confessions page to change the name of the page or take it down. HSU did not want people to think that the page was affiliated with the university. The university invoked a section of the California Education Code that states that all names and abbreviations of any of the California State Universities belong to the state. No one is allowed to use the names or abbreviations without the permission of the California State University Board of Trustees. The owner of the confessions page changed the name to avoid any further conflict with the university. Why does HSU allow Wal-Mart to use the university’s name, but not a Facebook confessions page?
The student body uses HSU to identify with one another. Can students not use HSU on a blog or other social networking websites? What about alumni who search HSU and can only find things that the university puts out? Does that make it more difficult for alumni who want to keep up with current HSU students? In our page six story titled “HSU apparel in peril” we reported that, “Dan Collen, the director of HSU athletics, and Stephanie Lane, the assistant director of HSU athletics, both argue that the athletics department is not in contract with Wal-Mart directly and said that even if there was no contract, Wal-Mart would still use the Jacks logo.” HSU needs to sit down with its lawyers and come up with set guidelines that apply to everyone equally, instead of unfairly targeting students.
April is Autism Awareness month Letter to the editor
If you have kids today, there is a one in 88 chance your child will be born with some form of autism. Autism is a term used to describe a spectrum of atypical neuralgic organization. My goal here is to help the majority population (that is the about 99 percent of you who would be classified as neurotypical) ascertain an understanding of the inner workings of an autistic mind, so you, the reader, can better understand your relatives, friends, associates, that dude in your dorm that never comes out of his room and that one girl in class who will never shut up, no matter how often the class laughs, or how pissed the teacher gets. The individuals affected by autism can range from full-functioning members of society, like Nobel Prize winning economist Vernon Smith, to nonverbal, masochistic individuals. Some speculate that Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton and President Thomas Jefferson may all have been diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, specifically Asperger’s syndrome, if they were alive today. Asperger’s syndrome is an alternate form of brain wiring, located at the higher functioning end of the autism spectrum. Though Asperger’s syndrome manifests itself differently in every individual affected, there are some broad characterizations that can be made. Before going in to what is different about persons with Asperger’s syndrome I’m going to try and explain in the simplest way what I mean by atypical neuralgic organization. Imagine, if you will, two
computers: a Mac and a PC, weighing the same and with the same dimensions. These are the brains in this metaphor. Both of these machines can perform the all the same functions (document writing, playing music and movies, browsing the internet, etc.) but they are not built equally. If you are going to be using data stored in Excel spread sheets to make a Power Point, you are probably going to want to use a PC. Likewise, if you are editing your film project and listening to iTunes, you are going to want a Mac. This is not meant to equate one brain type to one computer; it is simply to highlight that some machines, and some people are just better suited for different tasks. The Asperger’s mind is a specialist, detail-oriented and literal mind. Children with Asperger’s syndrome tend to engage in repetitive, non-imaginative play (like repeatedly stacking blocks by size or organizing crayons by color) and tend to be isolated from their peer group due to a lack of shared interests and experiences, but will readily interact with adults (not playing tag with the other kids at lunch time, but instead detailing to the teacher everything one learned about bears from a family trip to the zoo). People with Asperger’s syndrome will also appear to be clumsy, often dropping and bumping into things, and could have atrocious handwriting. This is due to innate difficulties in learning motor coordination. Lastly, vocal and physical tics may manifest themselves through different stages of life. Often by early adulthood a lot of the more pronounced idiosyncrasies have
been outgrown, but Asperger’s syndrome itself has not. People with Asperger’s syndrome also tend to be quite literal in their understanding of verbal communication. The meaning of idioms and metaphors can often be lost and sarcasm can at times be nearly impossible to discern, especially when speaking to individuals with whom one is not well acquainted. When assigned a task, this literal thinking and understanding could render what most perceive as a simple instruction useless unless it is accompanied by a detailed caveat explaining exactly what is expected. People with Asperger’s syndrome tend to have a hard time reading the nonverbal cues that are important in everyday communication. It is not, as some have put it, the inability to tell a smile apart from a frown, but difficulty discerning someone’s emotional state from facial expression, posture, body position, gestures and so on. This can lead to all sorts of problems, like someone being perceived as rude if they do not stop talking, or repeatedly trying to interject their thoughts into a conversation at the wrong time. Conversely, someone with Asperger’s syndrome might become quiet and withdrawn when out of their comfort zone. If this brief article has not been helpful I would recommend watching Temple Grandin’s TED Talk called “The World Needs All Kinds of Minds.” George Menges political science major
