Greenville opens Unity Park, fulfilling 83-year-old promise Zachary Smith ___________ S TA F F

FIRST PLACE Zachary Smith The Collegian Bob Jones University

W R I T E R

College students who feel bad about procrastinating may be comforted to know that the city of Greenville waited over 80 years to open Unity Park. Following years of delays, the park opened in May 2022.

Located four miles from Bob Jones University, Unity Park offers visitors 2.5 miles of hiking trails and a walking bridge across the Reedy River. The new park also offers access to the popular 23-mile Swamp Rabbit Trail for walking and biking. It also has a 4,000-square-foot water splash pad and four playgrounds.

The city also plans to build an observation tower at the park that will provide scenic views of downtown Greenville. Announced in its current form in 2018,

the 60-acre park was under construction for 22 months and cost the city $66 million so far, in addition to $10 million from private donations.

Fulfilling an 83-yearold promise One hundred years ago, Greenville did not allow Black children to use city parks. In the mid-1920s the city built a park for Black children on 15 marshy acres beside the Reedy River called Mayberry Park.

The park included an athletic field with bleachers and a basic playground.

In the 1930s the city used half of Mayberry Park to build a stadium for an allwhite baseball team. Black people were not allowed to sit in the stands at the new stadium. Rev. E.B. Holloway and his neighbors protested the decision and requested a new park for Black children. In 1939,

Greenville City Council promised Holloway a park, but the promise faded from the city’s priority list.

Mayberry and Meadowbrook Parks desegregated in the mid-1960s, according to longtime Greenville resident Mary Duckett.

Meadowbrook Park burned down in 1972, but Mayberry Park continued to be a popular spot, especially among the local African American community, despite its limited amenities.

“Today we redeem a promise of 80 years,” Mayor Knox White said on May 19 at the opening ceremony for Unity Park, which includes the areas where both the all-Black Mayberry Park and all-white Meadowbrook Park once stood.

Rev. Byron Battle Sr., senior pastor at Greenville’s Tabernacle Baptist Church, spoke optimistically about Unity Park at the opening

ceremony. "What a beautiful picture this is. I'm convinced this is what heaven is going to look like when we all come together.”

Community investment Some critics worried the park would contribute to gentrification, which occurs when individuals from higher social classes move into a community and displace the original residents who cannot afford the higher property costs.

White has acknowledged gentrification as a legitimate concern and took steps to minimize any negative impact on lower-income residents. In 2018 he said, “We’re more aware now that ‘OK, we build this park, it’s going to gentrify.’”

At Unity Park’s opening ceremony, White discussed plans to donate eight acres of nearby land to affordable housing projects.

The city plans to build five affordable housing areas close to the park and created the Unity Park Character Code in 2020, which it hopes will spur more housing efforts, beginning with housing for seniors.

Like Falls Park on the Reedy, which opened in 2004, Unity Park centers around the Reedy River, which flows through downtown Greenville. To build the park, the city restored a half-mile section of the Reedy River that flows through the park, and the city plans to restore a wetlands area where the Reedy River originally ran until 1933 when it was redirected.

Unity Park is open 5 a.m.-11 p.m. every day.

Unity Park offers easy access to the 23-mile Swamp Rabbit Trail, a popular place for students to exercise that follows the Reedy River through Greenville.

Very informative, well-written with a good mix of historical references with present-day impact.

Also shows a good understanding of when to use subheads to break up the story.

By Megan Wallace and Madison Sharrock For the first time ever, students are living in hotels to accommodate another recordbreaking freshman class.

Lashae Hammett, a sophomore, transferred to CCU from Mainlands Technical College. She said Coastal was her dream school, but after being placed in the Four Points hotel, she said this isn’t the college experience she was imagining.

“I’m just trying to get it over with now,” Hammett said.

The University admitted 2,693 freshmen this semester, but there are only 2,530 available beds in the on-campus dorms.

This includes Eaglin Hall, Ingle Hall, Chanticleer Hall, DeCenzo Hall, Singleton-Young Hall, Tradition Hall, and The Woods.

According to University policy STUD 336, freshmen

and sophomore students are required to live in university-operated and owned housing. Senior Director of University Housing Kathy Daley said 75 students were offered the choice to opt out of the requirement to give their bed up for a firstyear or transfer student.

“We basically put out a plea to the upperclassmen individuals,” Daley said.

“There were a portion of people who took us up on it.”

An email sent by University Housing on July 19 described this relocation as “an opportunity for a limited number of University Place residents,” which Hammett said mislead her.

Upper classmen who chose to continue living in university housing were placed in alternative living options within a 45-minute drive to campus. Those traditional housing options are: The Gardens on Quail Creek Village Avenue across from Brooks Stadium, and University Place (UP), which

is located behind Circle K off of S.C. 544.

The university has contracted with two non-traditional housing options. These new housing options include The Pier, an apartment complex across from campus on S.C. 544, and the Four Points by Sheraton, a Myrtle Beach hotel.

The hotel is located eight miles away from campus right between the Intracoastal Waterway and Fantasy Harbour Boulevard, next to The Boathouse. A designated shuttle runs daily to and from the hotel every 20 to 25 minutes from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and every 40 to 45 minutes from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Daley said the Four Points location was chosen solely because the hotel had a larger quantity of beds than any other hotel closer to campus. The first building of The Pier was also chosen for upper classmen because of the available rooms and because it is two miles away from campus.

Pier. Daley said there are 98 beds at Four Points set aside for students, but not all are in use. Students who stay at the hotel are living among other hotel guests.

Daley said the amenities at the hotel and The Pier are not the same as living in normal university housing, but they do offer a pool, gym and study area in each location. The Pier has the added benefit of being within walking distance of campus, and the hotel has weekly housekeeping service.

Some other benefits for students living at Four Points are a daily continental breakfast, 40% off food from the pantry (similar to POD markets) and The Brine Bar, the restaurant located inside the hotel.

Hammett said she was supposed to have a roommate, but before they could meet, she was relocated. She said she plans to get her own apartment in the spring, therefore she has not attempted to decorate the hotel room. She said she is not sure if students are allowed to decorate their spaces.

“It’s kind of lonely, like it defeated the purpose,” Hammett said.

She prefers to continue to ride the shuttle to save money on gas for her personal car, regardless of the wait time.

Hammett said she found out as late as August where she was assigned to live.

University President Michael Benson said university administrators could tell the enrollment trends were rising as they kept an eye on the reports every Friday. He said administrators expected a “summer melt” when students are accepted to Coastal but do not

“I try and put myself in the position of pay a deposit, which usually makes the acceptance numbers go down. However, our students,” Benson said. “As a father of a current college student, I know what it’s the melt did not occur this year.

“This is a good problem to have because it like to feel a little unsettled as a parent and suggests that the university is growing and a student.”

“You can’t keep everybody happy all the time. But we try our best to,” Benson said.

In the future, Benson said there is a possibility of renovating The Woods, which were the first freshmen dorms opened in 1987. He said he is in the process of doing the master plan of the campus, but the wetlands pose many challenges to any additions. The university grounds are owned by the Coastal Educational Foundation.

Benson also said he wants the option of a pedestrian overpass across S.C. 544 because he worries about students who walk to school. He said he hoped everyone would be patient as the university searches for new off and on-campus housing options.

“Some of that short term discomfort results in long term satisfaction for everybody,” Benson said.

Rocky Horror rocks the PAC Sells out shows at the Blackbox Theater Kaylee Hewitt Staff Writer

R ichard O’Br ien’s “The Rocky Horror Show” took the stage at the Black Box Theater in FMU’s Performing Arts Center on Oct. 20-22, as well as on Oct. 26-29.

“The Rocky Horror Show” is a production that follows the story of Brad and Janet, a young couple who get a flat tire one night, forcing them to reside in the spooky mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. In the mansion, the couple meets a series of characters, who end up taking them for the ride of their lives.

Directors of the production were FMU’s own professor of theater arts Keith Best and professor of music industry Brandon Goff. They took on the challenge of putting on one of the school’s largest productions with a total of 19 cast members in a space that can only accommodate 100 seats.

With such a small space and different versions of the musical to pull from, there were many obstacles fir the directors and cast to overcome.

“A few of the biggest challenges have been the ambiguity of the music score,

Lindsay Navarro plays Usherette in the opening number of “The Rocky Horror Show” in the Blackbox Theater at FMU PAC. the technical requirements, and then the synchronization with the cast,” Goff said.

“This production was initially set to be done last year in February, but COVID made it impossible, so it was delayed until this semester,” Best said. “We had a cast

last year, but several of those had graduated or were unavailable, so we had another set of auditions in August and got the show cast.”

The show was made up of a plethora of detailed costumes and set designs,

musical numbers and interactions between the cast and the audience.

The cast and crew, made up of faculty members, students and alumni, worked together to create, design and perform the elaborate show for a total of seven nights.

“It’s very unique and tends to throw a curveball at you at every turn so you genuinely gain a whole experience with the show as an actor,” Jaylanna Smalls, a member of the show’s ensemble, said. “Getting the chance to see each of us

come into our characters was awe-inspiring in their own way mostly because we’re getting to know our lines, choreography, steps and more.”

Being a large production advertised across campus, almost every performance was sold out within days of tickets going on sale.

From show to show, the cast continued to give their all for each show.

“No matter how tired we are and whatnot, as soon as the lights shine and we don our costumes, we become our characters and we give the best night we could have,” Smalls said. “The energy’s unmatched with the audience and everything. I live for every minute of it.”

The show ran for a little under two hours, with a 15-minute intermission between the two acts. At the end of the production, the cast joined together at the front of the stage to lead the audience in a sing-a-long of “Time Warp”. The finale of the show wrapped up with a special performance of “Sweet Transvestite” by the cast and the musical’s very own director, Keith Best.

Other concert pieces will include compositions by Jewish composers Bloch, Copland, Gershwin, Mendelssohn, Saint Saëns and Wieniawski.

The concert will also include soloists from the world-renowned “Philip Kutev” Female Folklore Ensemble of Bulgaria. Directed by Donald Portnoy, the group will perform their distinguished, unique harmonies in authentic, colorful costumes.

Avshi Weinstein said he wants to tell his family’s story because this generation needs to learn from the grave failures of the past. His grandmother survived the Holocaust, but his grandfather did not.

“We don’t really have many more survivors, especially ones that can go around and talk to people and tell their own stories,” Weinstein said.

Violins of Hope is a project created by Amnon and Avshalom (“Avshi”) Weinstein, a father and son team that collects and restores violins, violas and cellos owned by Jews during the Holocaust. Violins of Hope then uses the instruments in concerts around the world to commemorate the poignant stories of the Jewish owners.

Avshi Weinstein said that the violins help personalize the stories of the See VIOLINS p.4

the Jewish Holocaust experience. Nazis often forced prisoners to play music or sing to further humiliate and degrade them. “[Holocaust survivors] would come and stop at [Weinstein’s] shop because they didn't want to play their violins anymore, because they had to play their violins when their family members and friends went to the gas chambers,” Thompson said.

“But the violin also gave them hope. … The violin was the closest to the Jewish heart. It was the Jewish soul,” she said.

“Our concerts are the ultimate answer to [the Nazis’] plan to annihilate a people and their culture, to destroy human lives and freedom,” Violins of Hope states on its website.

Every instrument came in a different condition.

However, virtually all the surviving instruments are very simple. “The good, valuable instruments were confiscated by the Nazis,” Weinstein said.

The father and son luthier team tried to use the violins’ original parts while repairing and refining damaged areas or imperfections. “The instrument can often sound better than ever before, even though the core of the violin remains the same,” Weinstein said.

Thompson first connected with the Weinsteins through her work with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

her. “There was a violinist in Auschwitz with his back toward the camera, playing one of those violins that had been restored, and it just made me weep,” Thompson said.

Thompson also attended a Violins of Hope concert held in Knoxville, Tenn. in 2019, where she met Avshi Weinstein. She immediately wanted to bring the group to perform in South Carolina.

“I know that [God] has prepared me, most of my life—I’m 67 years old—to

do this,” Thompson said.

When Thompson first spoke to Ashvi Weinstein in 2019, he told her to plan the concert for 2022. Thompson was taken aback to find out she would have to wait several years. However, she said planning to perform in 2022 avoided any disruptions caused by COVID-19.

Thompson also pointed to the timeliness of the Holocaust’s timeless lessons.

you’ll keep doing it over and over and over again,” Thompson said. “And we see that in America today ... anti-Semitism is arising.”

She referenced the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, where a man took four hostages during a standoff with police in January.

Weeks later, anti-Semitic flyers were left in nearby communities, as well as other cities around the United States.

The Greenville concert forms part of a larger tour throughout South Carolina. The concerts take the South Carolina motto, Dum spiro spero (“While I breathe, I hope”), for their theme. “It’s more than music,” Thompson said. “Their sounds bring lost strings to life, creating beauty from ashes and strength for future generations.”

Students and community members interested in attending the concert can find more information and purchase tickets at violinsofhopesc.org.

Excellent article, the epitome of great journalism. Extremely well-written, thorough, genuine and informative, while telling a touching story of love, resilience and hope conveyed through the art of music.

Kevin Kelley’s one and done tenure at Presbyterian College was one of the most memorable seasons in all of college football’s history, with fans recently getting a behind-the-scenes look at all of the drama.

Over the summer, Overtime SZN, one of the most popular YouTube channels for sports coverage, released an exclusive 12part episodic series on Kelley’s first season in Clinton called To The House. The channel also covered seasons of the former coach at Pulaski Academy prior to his arrival at PC, where he developed the reputation as “The Coach Who Never Punts.”

Oftentimes, fans never get to see how the pizza is prepared and cooked to perfection, and the mini documentary provides a larger view on how football teams are constructed each year.

But in this situation, the pizza came out undercooked.

MASTERWORKS OR ‘MISTRESS WORKS’?

MaKayla O’Neal Layout Editor

Going to art galleries is one of the few things I do to periodically scratch that little itch in my brain that arises from artistic deprivation. To be soothed by gazing up at the framed pieces, analyzing each brushstroke and letting our minds drift into a dreamy state; how wonderful it is that art has the power to unify all walks of life. Yet, I can’t help but cringe in annoyance at designated portions of galleries titled something isolating like “Women in Art”.

You can argue that the gestures as such are empowering and inclusive, but it honestly feels like a disingenuous band-aid on a real issue and an unironic implication that women can indeed do what men can do.

Before eyes start rolling at what may seem like another feminist rant, hear me out. I am a senior, graduating this December, in a field that pertains to visual art. I am so excited, yet utterly terrified for the waves of reality to hit, because my experience with having a career in something I am extremely passionate about has not been as smooth sailing as I hoped.

I can’t shake the memory of a couple years ago when I stared into the eyes of my favorite hip-hop artist’s creative director, and he bluntly remarked: “I have never seen a young woman wanting this job. Good luck being taken seriously.”

It was difficult to not taste the bitter tang on my tongue from the hateful remark on something I wholeheartedly love, and it threw me into a rabbit hole of noticing the prevalent misogynistic characteristics of the artistic world.

The harsh reality is: whether it is the constant creepy approaches disguised as business opportunities, or just flat out rejection due to perceived inferiority, women in the art field have always had to work a thousand times harder to even be in the same ballpark as the opposing

gender.

There is no doubt that cultural gender norms are the main culprit. When the female experience is widely regarded as trivial compared to a male’s, the ideology that art imitates life renders a female’s art meaningless.

The evidence of what I am attempting to convey is eerily blatant in art’s complicated history.

I am sure when I say the name Vincent Van Gogh, the rhythmic swirls of paint forming “The Starry Night” might pop into your head.

Or when I say Pablo Picasso, imagery of chaotic abstraction may dance across your memory.

Now what about the name Plautilla Nelli?

Unless you have some expertise in art history, odds are you may be drawing a blank despite her masterworks such as “The Last Supper” or “Praying Madonna.”

As with most gender-related injustices, the struggles for women artists are systemic. Even large names in the industry had their own dilemmas. For example, Georgia O’Keeffe, who is considered by some to mother the feminist movement in art, had experienced her fair share of cold shoulders due to her gender.

In “Women, Art and Society” by Whitney Chadick, O’Keeffe gives an interview on her personal experience in the industry.

“The men liked to put me down as the best woman painter,” O’Keeffe said.

“I think I’m one of the best painters” Frida Kahlo, the extraordinary famous Mexican painter, is a perfect example of the tendency to overlook massive talent by shoving them in the shadow of a male colleague. During a prime era of her career, a massive headline in “The Detroit Times” read “Wife of the master mural painter gleefully dabbles in works of art.”

The irony of the situation is that while another woman authored the article,

“The Detroit Times” claimed a male editor wrote the title.

The journalist made sure to slip in one of Kahlo’s quotes about constantly being compared to her husband.

“Of course, he does pretty well for a little boy, but it is I who am the big artist,” Kahlo said.

Obviously, the constant disregard of actual talent is annoying, but it is just the vile icing on a stale cake.

My main problem is the gender gap in actual museums as well as the profits artists make.

In 2017, The University of Luxembourg held an experiment by throwing an artist auction. When the pieces were anonymously made, the sales for women and men were nearly identical, and a majority of days the women

sold more pieces. However, on the days when pieces were labeled, the women artists barely reached 47% of the men’s sales. Even the pieces generated by artificial intelligence sold more.

The corruption of art is so pervasive that entire organizations make it their mission to expose it.

The Guerrilla Girls is an anonymous activist group, and through their fake gorilla heads, they uncover some of the industry’s darkest, dirtiest secrets. Their most popular campaign reads “Do Women Have To Be Naked To Get Into The Met. Museum? Less than 5% of the artists in the Modern Art Sections are women, but 85% of the nudes are female”.

My college education has served me well by pry-

ing my eyes open to different historical inequities, but it is tragic that, without some of the passionate professors I have had (special thanks to Dr. Howell), I wouldn’t be aware of some of the most talented people in the art field because of their lack of exposure.

The only way to incite change in any immoral system is to not just talk about it with our words, but rather speak in action. In an unfair society that underestimates due to the pigment of skin or the part between legs, it is absolutely necessary to build your own knowledge on matters (or people) that are shut out.

Creative, passionate editorial. A bold, provocative critique that spotlights an often overlooked area of the art world.

C-L-E-M-S-OMOTHERF---ING-N MOTHERF---ING -N

CALEB BROWDER // PHOTO EDITOR

Should it stay or should it go?

Dawson Baker Asst. News Editor Anyone who has attended a sporting event at Clemson has heard the public announcer come over the speakers and say, “The NCAA and the Atlantic Coast Conference promote good sportsmanship by student-athletes, coaches and spectators…. Profanity… will not be tolerated.” For the most part, Clemson fans seem happy to oblige to this rather simple, respectful request.

However, in the thrill of competition and the excitement of beating a team “we weren’t sup-posed to,” it’s easy for players, coaches and fans to lose that respectful demeanor. This does not happen often but lately, we have had what some would consider a problem that our students and fans have allowed to creep into Clemson Athletic events.

Imagine it, Death Valley on a pleasant October afternoon. The band has just moved into its tunnel formation and the cheerleaders are ready to run the “Fighting Tigers” banner on the field. The Tigers are standing atop the hill waiting for the cannon. When it fires, excitement fills the air as the team files down the Hill. Tiger Band gets to the “woo-hoo” part of Tiger Rag and Central Spirit runs the flags on the field. “C-L-E-M-S-O---N,” shouts Clemson the faithful, but in between that “O” and that “N” a new word has found its home. A word that is facing some acceptance issues from the Tiger’s fanbase.

not all students are on board with this new trend.

“The profanity during the spell-out obviously works against the family-friendly nature of our campus,” says Holden Kammerer, Secretary of Engagement for the Clemson Undergraduate Student Government (CUSG) and president of the IPTAY Student Advisory Board.

“I have noticed the concern from alumni and families alike as the profane language was not initiated

is not conducive to the type of family environment we strive to embrace. This behavior is inconsistent with Clemson University’s core values of honesty, integrity and respect and is something we will continue to address with student leaders moving forward.”

Student organization leaders across campus have also expressed their concern with this behavior.

“I know personally being part of Central Spirt, we always make sure to let our members know that we do not

HISTORY OF THE CHANT It is hard to imagine a gameday in Death Valley, or any Clemson sporting event, without one of the most iconic collegiate fight songs in existence. “Tiger Rag” debuted at Clemson during the 1942 football season after Robert Dean Ross, cadet bandmaster of the Clemson Corps Band, purchased the sheet music to “Tiger Rag” from a music store in Atlanta, Georgia.

“The Song that Shakes the Southland” gave way to another Clemson tradition, although its origins are surrounded with more uncertainty. In the recording of the Tiger’s 22-15 win over Nebraska to secure Clemson’s first National Championship, “Tiger Rag” can be heard playing in the background, but there is no spell-out.

Richard Goodstein, Clemson Dean Emeritus and former Tiger Band director, said, “I recall the cheerleaders coming up with the cheer in the early-to-mid 80s.

It took hold quickly and is now a long-standing tradition.”

John Seketa, author of “Clemson Through the Eyes of the Tiger,” shared an additional easter egg with The Tiger. “The Woo-hoo [before the spell-out,] which is not a part of the song, started after it was heard on a Tiger Band CD. Supposedly, it is what the Flag Line [Tiger Guard] said at the time,” said Seketa.

until relatively recent years, and is really take part [in] the profanity used between disturbing to the older members of the ‘O’ and the ‘N’ [of the spell-out],” the Clemson family… an ‘experience’ said Alejandro Mejia-Tejada, president

“What we are seeing here such as using profane language during of Central Spirit. “I would like to see this is a clash of folkways with the spell-out is not one of tradition and phased out in the future, but due to it may even deter families from including being such a popular tradition that makes each new generation of our their children in the environment, up our atmosphere at sporting events, I which goes against everything don’t see it phasing out in the near future.”

Clemson aims to do as a distinguished Despite the unpopularity - Gabriel Fair university,” said Kammerer. expressed above, not everyone is offended Vice President for Student or sees a problem with the choice word.

This is a new tradition at Clemson, only starting in the last decade, Affairs, Chris Miller, echoed some of Clemson alumnus of 2013, Gabriel Fair, and one that has grown in popularity each Kammerer’s concerns in a statement shared, “What we are seeing here is a clash year within the student sections. However, released by his office. It reads, “To be clear, of folkways with each new generation of the use of profanity in these situations our Clemson family.”

A folkway is the traditional behavior or way of life of a particular community or group of people. With each additional generation, new traditions take the place of old ones. “I would resist effort to police it,” said Fair, “this is a silly meme, common at other colleges as well, like LSU and Texas, to use adult language in a setting with adults.”

Director of Bands, Mark Spede, shared his thoughts on the matter. “A lot of people, especially parents of young children, are disheartened by the obscenity some of our fans are yelling during our fight song Clemson is famous for our family-friendly environment, our culture and certainly Tiger Rag. I’m sure there’s a better, G-rated solution we can all get behind, either different words or better yet, uniting to create a great game day experience for all ages and keeping our rich tradition of the CLEMSON spell-out as we have for decades.”

Clemson Athletics shared, “We always ask that our guests are considerate of those around them in terms of their actions, and hope that our fans/students will continue to display sportsman-ship while attending athletic events.”

After multiple requests for comment, former Student Senator Mary Frances Huggins and Senator Kate Hadley, Student Activities Chair had not responded by press time. Student Body President William Reinert and Vice President Liza Lowder did not offer a comment on the issue. Currently, it is unclear if Clemson Athletics, CUSG or school officials plan to take on this issue in the Spring term.

Student leaders want to see this issue addressed. Holland added, “I think a great first step to take would be addressing it to the entire student body, bringing light to the problem at hand and why it has started to negatively affect our reputation as a school. Maybe a video message email from President Clements or someone else would go a long way.”

Campus Responses to Sexual Assault: The Title IX Office

By NATH KAPOOR

Each August, first year students attend numerous orientation activities designed to inform and acclimate them to an unfamiliar college environment, including the Life at Furman skits on substance abuse and sexual assault. Orientation leaders deliver this information to all new and transfer students in a skit format, acting out common scenarios of abuse and assault and explaining afterwards the basics of Furman’s conduct policies. This August, orientation leaders delivered these skits in Daniel Recital Hall on Aug. 20th. The skit about sexual assault ended with this debrief:

“Narrator 1: More than 50% of college sexual assaults occur in the fall semester.

Nothing you say, do or wear gives someone the right to assault you. You have the right and the responsibility to set your own limits, the right to give consent, and everyone’s right to say ‘no’ should be heard.

Narrator 2: Furman defines consent as being ‘informed, freely and actively given, mutually understandable words or actions that indicate a willingness to participate in a mutually agreed-upon sexual activity.’ It’s all about communication. Communicate your own boundaries and respect the boundaries of the person you are with.”

Narrator 1: The use of alcohol or drugs does not diminish anyone’s responsibility to obtain consent. If at any time, there is any confusion or ambiguity about consent, stop and check-in with the person you’re with to make sure they have the capacity to consent and that they genuinely want to continue.

Narrator 2: Know that there are campus policies and resources in place to deal with situations of sexual miscon-

duct, including confidential resources. Please do not hesitate to seek help and guidance.”

“Please do not hesitate to seek help and guidance.”

Programs like orientation skits provide new students with this information and access to Furman’s full Title IX and sexual misconduct policies.

On April 12th, 2021, at Furman Engaged, alum Mary Margaret McConnell and students Sabria Bowman, Sam Miller and Dearest Nayreau presented research on student understanding of Title IX for Dr. Savita Nair’s Issues in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Course. They found 39% of the 77 students they surveyed agreed they are unprepared to understand Furman’s Title IX process, 23% felt neutral about their knowledge on the process, and 38% agreed they are prepared to understand the process.

On Instagram, the anonymous handle @speakupfu, which gained over 500 followers, shares student stories about victim experiences with the Title IX office and the Furman University Police Department (FUPD). The account has a bio that reads, “submit anonymous submissions of experience with sexual violence on campus. Not directly affiliated with Furman University.” Several stories voice dissatisfaction with Title IX and FUPD (Furman University Police Department) responses to sexual violence.

versity employs resources to Title IX officers, Human Resource officers, faculty, staff, and other outsourced professionals to investigate these campus crimes.

Enacted by federal law 50 years ago, Title IX prohibits sex-based discrimination in federally funded institutions of higher education. The Dear Colleague Letter, released more recently in 2011, gave institutions more instruction for dealing with cases of sexual misconduct.

“What the Dear Colleague Letter said in 2011 is when schools aren’t handling complaints of sexual assault transparently and fairly with process, you are taking away a student’s right on the basis of sex because of the interaction,” Dr. Jason Cassidy (Associate Vice President for Student Life) said. He noted that “if your institution is receiving federal funding, you can’t do that.”

The capacity for institutions like Furman to deal with sexual misconduct cases evolved drastically after this 2011 guidance, as staffing positions dealing with compliance and reporting were added nationwide. “11 years ago, there were no exclusive Title IX positions,” Sharen Beaulieu (Associate Vice President for Human Resources) said.

“We’ve been training and adding folks along the way.” Rather than an add-on task to existing institutional structure, Title IX compliance expanded into full positions and offices.

Melissa Nichols, who currently fills the role of Title IX Coordinator on campus, explained the complexity of federal regulations since the 2011 shift. “They are constantly changing, and compliance is intricate,” she said. Nichols referred to President Trump’s 2020 regulations which “allowed live cross-examination of parties in the formal proSEE TITLE IX, PAGE 2 • What Furman can do to Cultivate Teachers

Dins Rout the Crusaders, 52-0

By NICK DELAHAYE

A rare Thursday night season-opener for the Dins at Paladin Stadium brought a new sense of hope for Furman football fans. A 52-0 demolition of the local North Greenville Crusaders shed new light on the rejuvenated and energized Furman football squad.

The Dins came out strong out of the locker room and never looked back, quickly running away with the game by halftime.

Notable performances include graduate transfer QB Tyler Huff, who led the team in passing (2 TDs on 10/12 passing, 189 yds). His feet worked just as well as his arms, as he also led the team in rushing (94 yds, 1 TD on 5 ATT). His pocket awareness was highly touted as well, being able to scramble quickly out of the pocket, as it seemed he had a sixth sense for the footsteps coming behind him.

TE Ryan Miller also caught

a few darts over the top from Huff, leading the team in receiving yards. On the defensive side of the ball, CB Cally Chizik could nab an interception and run it back fifty-six yards to the house. DT Trey Rogers also recovered two fumbles to accompany the already lightsout Paladin defense.

The Dins look next week to another local team, the Clemson Tigers. Ranked #4 in the Associated Press poll, Head Coach Dabo Swiney looks to lead the Tigers to an ACC Championship and a potential College Football playoff berth. The Dins hope to focus more on conference play, which brings on September 17 at East Tennessee State. This upcoming game against the Tigers in Death Valley will be invaluable to the Paladins, as gaining experience from this game will help them drastically down the road. Go Dins!

mised, and takes immunosuppressants for her condition. A discovery of black substance in the vents of her apartment led her to suspect that mold growth could be the reason for her additional health issues.

According to the CDC,

time Hamilton began feeling sick. Tillman slept with an air purifier in her room. One night she left her air purifier in the hallway and said she “woke up in a coughing fit.”

A few days after the two students began experiencing

symptoms, Hamilton and her roommates in North Village Apartment building E 101 opened their intake vent. The inside of the vent had dust and a black substance that they suspected to be mold. After opening the vent, Hamilton began to feel worse.

Hamilton and her roommates contacted an RA and were put in touch with Housing administration. They also submitted a maintenance request. Facilities then arranged for their apartment to be mold tested.

During the discovery of potential mold in their apartment, Hamilton sought medical help for her symptoms. She visited Earle Health Center three times. The first provider from Earl told her that her symptoms were not related to “mold or allergies.” After her symptoms persisted and worsened, Hamilton returned to Earl and Anne Gilchrist, the Medical Director, recommended that she go to the hospital. Her physician at the hospital recommended that Furman request environmental testing.

Furman facilities hired

a mold inspector to conduct environmental testing. Following this test, Hamilton requested for Ron Thompson, Director of Housing and Residence Life, to send her the results. Thompson told Hamilton and her roommates over email seen by The Paladin that “the environmental hygienist stated you are safe continuing to live in the apartment,” without sending documentation of the results. Hamilton and her roommates then requested again that the full report be sent to them. According to Hamilton, Thompson initially told her over the phone that the test could not be shared for “legal reasons,” but he later sent the test to her after she and her roomates asked repeatedly.

Air samples from the test Thompson sent were invalid due to the windows being open and an air purifier being on.

While the air samples were voided, the swab tests were an accurate assessment of the mold growth. The mold swab test indicated that there were heavy levels (over 10,000 spores) of Stachybotrys or black mold.

There were heavy levels (over 10,000 spores) of Stachybotrys or black mold An additional test of the apartment done by another certified mold inspector also concluded that there was a “very heavy”, or upwards of 10,000 amount of fungal spores from a sample. The second test results also indicated that there were leaks, water staining or condensation surrounding or inside of the HHAC unit, ducts or registers. The inspector noted that the ductwork was “filthy” and needed cleaning.

When Hamilton and her roommates initially discovered mold, Hamilton stayed in another apartment due to the return of her symptoms upon re-entering her apartment. Air scrubbers were placed in the apartment. In order to accommodate Hamilton, Housing would later provide housing in the Vinings apartments for her and her roommates.

While Hamilton was relocated to the Vinings, Furman Facilities Services completed SEE MOLD, PAGE 2

2022-23 Schedule Released as Men’s Basketball Opens Preseason Practice

By DENIZ SARIASLAN

Furman’s 2022-23 campaign tips off on November 7 versus local rival North Greenville. The expectations for this campaign are nothing less than the SoCon title, which the Dins came very close to last year.

Unfortunately, the championship and therefore a ticket to 2022 March Madness slipped through Furman’s fingers with Chattanooga’s buzzer-beater game-winning three pointer in overtime. Best believe the Paladins are looking forward to the upcoming season with optimism and a craving for revenge as three starters from the 2021-22 squad are back at Timmons.

Paladin Head Coach Bob Richey expressed his excitement about their non-conference schedule: “Our schedule has a great blend of high-major opponents, successful mid-major programs, and regional rivalries. We are also looking forward to the opportunity to play 17 games in Greenville this season,” remarked Richey.

Under Coach Richey’s reign, the Dins have accomplished a 111-46 record over the last five years. Guiding Furman to a 63-24 mark in Southern Conference play, he ranks in the top 10 among active Division I head coaches in winning percentage (.707).

Country Star Josh Turner Performs at PAC

The prodigal son retur ns home to the PeeDee Finn Millians Co Editor

FMU hosted an old friend, country music star Josh Turner, for the Florence community on Sept. 29 at the Performing Arts Center (PAC) downtown.

Former Patriot and Pamplico native, Turner returned home to perform for his alma mater.

“The prodigal son has returned,” Turner said.

He attended FMU in the 1990’s for a while before moving to Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue a career in music. In Nashville, he attended Belmont University before his career jumpstarted in 2001.

Now, after two-decades of making music and performing for the masses, Turner came back to his roots.

“I feel like I’m so at home,” Turner said during his performance. “I can talk to these people all night.”

The FMU PAC hosts several orchestras, musicians and theater productions, but rarely does the community get to see large headliners like Turner.

Ju n ior vol leyba l l player and human resource management and psychology major Kaylee Gillespie attended the event with a group of friends after preordering tickets in July.

FMU hunkers down for hurricane Finn Millians Co-Editor

After an email was sent out Sept. 28 regarding the trajectory of Hurricane Ian, FMU shut down campus from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2 in response to the inclement weather.

“Hurricane Ian is expected to pass through South Carolina on Friday and Saturday,” Latasha Brand, Dean of Students, said in her email to all students. “In anticipation of strong winds, heavy rain, and widespread flooding, FMU will cancel classes on Friday and all activities throughout the weekend. Only essential personnel should report to work.”

While the dormitories and Ervin Dining Hall remained open for student residents, other campus facilities were shut down until Monday, Oct. 3.

One student, junior tennis player and sports management and human resources management major Julie Martincova, stayed on campus in the Village apartments during the storm.

“The campus was very quiet, [and] we did not see lots of people during the storm,”

Following positive feedback for the event, Kennedy plans to sustain the energy through the rest of the semester to the next big event in October: FM A’Glow.

“I didn’t hear any negative complaints,” Kennedy said. “I think we hit the sweet spot.”

One student, senior art education major Brittany Sehnke, used First Friday as an opportunity to spend some time with her classmates from her Ecuador trip.

“First Friday has so many people and so many opportunities to socialize,” Sehnke said. “I’m also with some of my friends from Ecuador, and this event helped me rekindle that relationship with them.”

Sophomore business major and international soccer player Paal Vistnes claimed to have heard about First Friday from other students around campus.

“It was impossible not to come,” Vistnes said.

“The energy level has been phenomenal,” Kennedy said. “They came out in huge numbers for everything.”

Leading into the rest of the semester, Kennedy and Student Life look to further student involvement in events around campus.

Kennedy said that diversity and inclusion are the foundations of everything, and they actively try to project it through new events.

“We want to do more of these co-curricular things where students actually come up to me and say, ‘I learned something, and I wasn’t even trying,’” Kennedy said.

The implementation of new co-cur ricular activities will allow different departments and organizations across campus the resources and support to hold their own events and give more opportunities to students for learning and socialization.

Parking director and Student Government plan on future collaboration Emma Vick News Editor “We understand that for some people this morning, the parking at Clemson was overwhelming,” said Parking and Transportation Services in a recent email to students utilizing commuter parking spaces on-campus.

Following the email, there has been concerns expressed by students regarding a lack of parking and transit directed towards Parking and Transportation Services, along with the Infrastructure and Operations committee within Student Government.

The organization reached out to all students with commuter parking passes via email about using alternate transportation, considering carpooling and other potential solutions to improve students’ negative parking experiences.

“There has been a large concern since the beginning of the semester regarding parking. I do understand that it’s a compound issue, meaning it is not one specific problem causing the shortage, and I do also agree from the student side that there should be action and publication on the issue,” said Minhyun Shin, a senior bioengineering major and chair of the Student Senate Infrastructure and Operations committee.

Following a 23-point victory over Furman last week, Clemson heads into its week three matchup against Louisiana Tech with an undefeated record but plenty to improve upon this season.

Slated to kick off in Memorial Stadium at 8 p.m. EDT on Saturday, the game between the No. 5-ranked Tigers and the Bulldogs will feature a Clemson team (2-0) trying to win its 36th consecutive game in Death Valley.

While Louisiana Tech is 1-1 on the year, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney isn’t shying away from the possibility of an upset.

“This is a good team, and it’ll be a big challenge for us this week,” Swinney said. “This is a team that has some dudes.”

Facing off against some of those “dudes” on the Bulldogs’ defense, Clemson’s offense will be ready to burst onto the scene after an up-and-down start to the season.

City opens proposals for new ‘heart of Uptown’

Justin Robertson Sports Editor With just two games left before the ACC Championship game, head coach Dabo Swinney and the Tigers are dead set on finishing the regular season on a strong note, and it all starts with taking down Miami on Saturday.

After suffering, in Swinney’s words, “an ass-kicking” to Notre Dame two weeks ago, Clemson bounced back last week, defeating Louisville 31-16 at a critical point of the season.

Swinney saw the response he needed against the Cardinals. But now it’s about building on that performance vs. the Hurricanes.

“It’s all about finishing. That’s what everybody remembers,” Swinney said. “That’s what they say. They remember November. It’s all about how you finish. You go lose these next two games, and everyone forgets you were 9-1 quickly.”

Along with the physical museum, the library hopes to offer classes and creative inquiry opportunities that explore the history of the University property, as the position of University Historian is now also under the jurisdiction of the library.

The Fort Hill House is located on west campus and, if approved, plans include exhibits on Clemson’s history.

Clemson is accepting bids for a large-scale redevelopment of the space at College Avenue and Tiger Boulevard.

The mixed-use development will add new retail, office and housing buildings, including up to 1,800 beds of student housing.

This would include bringing the creek underneath the post office to the surface, creating new plazas, open areas and expanding Abernathy Park back in from the lakefront creating a destination center for the whole community. The project includes a renovation of the street network through this area, creating smaller blocks and more connectivity.

It also intends to give priority to non-student residential development to create a wider variety of living spaces near the University.

“The Council has been working to identify, create, and implement an even more effective approach to planning for areas larger than a single parcel,” said City of Clemson Mayor Robert Halfacre. “In doing so, the goal is not to create more zoning, but is to create an innovative planning process for large and distinct areas of the city.”
