» By WILL FISHER Staff Writer

The Student Government Association will potentially begin publishing a monthly financial report aiming to increase their transparency should Act No. 2 pass at the next SGA meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 23.

SGA presented three new resolutions and two new acts at the meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 16.

Act No. 2, dubbed the “Sunshine Act” by the author because it aims to shed light on SGA’s currently private finances, was written

Red Bus Project visits APSU, benefits orphaned children » By CELESTE MALONE Assistant News Editor

bucket with clothes for $5.

“The funds raised at the mobile thrift store go toward making college students aware every 18 seconds a child becomes an orphan somewhere in the world,” Wheeler said.

The Red Bus Project has three employees and takes on five interns each semester to travel with them around the nation and help teach youth about international orphans.

According to redbusproject.org, “The Red Bus Project launched in spring of 2012 and, since then, thousands of students from more than 60 colleges have contributed nearly $50,000 to help support orphan care advocacy and provide care for the children.”

It was founded by Christian recording artist Steven Curtis Chapman 11 years ago.

The Red Bus Project and other programs by Show Hope help provide money to postadoptive families.

Students passed through the MUC Plaza on Thursday, Sept. 17 and saw something out of the ordinary. A red double-decker bus parked on the street with signs to fill a bucket with clothes for $5 to benefit orphaned children were displayed.

The Red Bus Project is a double-decker mobile thrift store bringing orphan awareness to college students nationally and is the college based sector of Show Hope, a non-profit organization focused on caring for orphaned children.

APSU’s Baptist Collegiate Ministry has sponsored the arrival of the Red Bus Project to campus for the past two years. APSU was the first stop on the Red Bus’ college tour this semester to visit 25 universities in multiple states including Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas during Fall CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 2015.

Chris Wheeler, director of student ER initiatives for Show Hope, spoke about the RAPH OTOG H P F goal of The Red Bus Project.

Students were able to purchase second-hand items from the bus itself, Red Bus Project T-shirts and had the opportunity to fill a metal

During the time delegated for students to voice their opinions to SGA, Associate Chief Justice Ryan Honea asked the senate to write a resolution updating the current visitation

hours policy to be less discriminating.

Honea said the current policy discriminates against transgender and non-binary gender people. Honea would like SGA to change the visitation policy to have all persons staying after midnight to be

Katie Koestner speaks on sexual misconduct » By DAVID HARRIS Senior Staff Writer

Katie Koestner, national expert on campus safety and sexual misconduct, aimed to help prevent sexual misconduct at APSU during her visit on Tuesday, Sept. 15.

At age 18, Koestner appeared on the cover of TIME magazine in 1990 to speak about being date raped in college.

She is the first female survivor in history to speak nationally about her experience. In 1993, a HBO documentary on Koestner’s story was released.

Koestner has spoken at more than 3,000 colleges and schools, and has assisted the U.S.

Divided States of America Religion and race-based controversies continue to divide nation, bring out worst in people

» By ELENA SPRADLIN Perspectives Editor

#ISTANDWITHAHMED Many accusations, bold statements and heated conversations have occurred following the arrest and subsequent media frenzy surrounding Ahmed Mohammed.

Some publications like The Daily Beast have been latched onto what they percieve as the obvious implications of an arrest based on bomb-related charges of a teenager whose last name is Mohammed: clearly the teacher who called in the homemade clock was racially profiling Mohammed as being linked to terrorism, the arrest was unprecedented, Mohammed deserves an apology and the U.S. needs to take a long look in the mirror and stop being so afraid of people who aren’t white.

Meanwhile, allegations that Mohammed didn’t even build the clock himself have surfaced, along with a call to put the fact that radical Islamic groups have been responsible for numerous bombings around the world into perspective when examining the events that transpired leading up to Mohammed’s arrest.

Calling attention to the possibility of Islamophobia and overcompensating for a two-hour long arrest of a teenager is only treating the symptoms of the problem: We have created a world where people are desperately afraid of one another.

There is a reason behind the zero-tolerance policy at MacArthur High School where Mohammed was arrested.

The idea that Islamophobia is a prevailing issue threatens the narrative that racial and religious biases are a thing of the past.

Mohammed was instructed by his engineering teacher to not show around his homemade clock and didn’t want to answer the questions police asked him about the clock, and this has somehow become the argument for why it makes sense that a skinny, 14-year-old in a NASA T-shirt was arrested for attempting to make a bomb.

,,

The U.S is a relatively young country theoretically established on principals of freedom, opportunity and diversity, but as of late the fear-mongers appear to be getting the best of the public and has pulled political conversations into an unproductive downard spiral.

A 14-year-old boy named Ahmed Mohammed was arrested for attempting to build a bomb on Monday, Sept. 14.

On Friday, Sept. 18 a man at presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign speech in New Hampshire called President Barack Obama a Muslim, which Trump did not correct.

The unnamed man continued by asking “When can we get rid of them [Muslims}?”

Kim Davis, a county clerk from Kentucky, refused to issue marriage licenses to samesex couples following the Supreme Court ruling in June and was subsequently arrested and jailed, and as of Friday, Sept. 18 she may have denied marriage licenses to same-sex couples again.

Meanwhile, many cars and trucks continue to don the Confederate flag here in Clarksville, some with the phrase “Heritage not hate” on the flag.

While seeing the Confederate flag is not a novel occurrence in Clarksville, it now brings to mind the shooting in the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina by Dylann Roof.

Liberals assume an attitude of simply knowing better, treating those who support a conservative agenda as lesser people, and unflinchingly supporting the President’s agenda and accusing those who don’t of being fundamentally suspicious of people based off of race or religion.

I feel like people should stop basing everything on religion, first of all, especially when it comes to working for a position where you’re for the law.”

— Emily Greene, freshman biology major

It challenges all of us to consider what we would have done in the situation and how we see those around us based on how they dress or what we perceive their religion to be.

Most Americans simply aren’t as exposed to people who are Islamic.

What Americans have been exposed to is a 24-hour news cycle that reports on terrorist organizations, some of which are affiliated with extremist Islamic groups, and a War on Terror that has been around since 2001.

However, carrying over the

has also said that a Muslim should not be president.

“I feel like people should stop basing everything on religion, first of all,” said biology major Emily Greene, “especially when it comes to working in a position where you’re for the law.”

DAVIS SERVES TIME, STILL REFUSES MARRIAGE LICENSES County clerk Kim Davis serves as another prime example of this sentiment.

Davis made headlines for refusing marriage licenses to same-sex couples and is in the throes of controversy once again for altering marriage licenses.

Davis cites religion as the reason why she won’t issue these licenses.

Being uncomfortable with same-sex marriage doesn’t make Davis a bad person.

It doesn’t even

the hair-trigger of intolerance, sometimes under the name of bigotry or hatred.

Davis’ beliefs prevent her for performing a job function.

She didn’t say that people who are gay should be removed from the country or publically criticize people who are gay and seeking marriage licenses.

The spectacle generates the publicity, though, and it gives people an opportunity to hash out their frustrations with the mounting tension between church and state and advocates for states’ rights against those who believe in a strong centralized government.

PRIDE GONE WRONG Supporters of states’ rights may also find themselves supporting the continued use of the Confederate flag, a symbol that has long been associated with hate groups like the KKK and now the shooting in Charleston, South Carolina this past June.

The Battle Flag of North Virginia, now commonly referred to as the Confederate flag, has become less of a flag and more a symbol.

Its origins stem from the southern states banding together and rebelling against what they believed was an unfair attack against them by the president.

Now it’s come to represent a slew of different interpretations: freedom, rebellion, racism, southern pride and neoConfederacy, to name a few ideologies that seem to be wrapped up in the flag.

Trying to argue about whether or not the flag should be sold and displayed is pointless because people hold onto it for such different reasons.

INTOLERANT STATE

image that all people who are Islamic hold some deep-seated hatred for the United States creates a dangerous and hate-fueled rhetoric.

As aforementioned, someone at Donald Trump’s campaign in New Hampshire said of Muslims, “When can we get rid of them?”

When can we get rid of them?

This implies violence, and Trump didn’t stamp out the anti-Muslim fire.

The man who asked this question also said Obama is a Muslim and not an American, which Trump did not correct or address.

Ben Carson, another presidential candidate,

necessarily make her an intolerant person.

Her beliefs get in the way of her doing her job.

Instead, her cause has been picked up as one akin to religious persecution.

This case has been used as a platform for dismissal of people who believe marriage should be between a man and a woman.

The story gained popularity because it hit

Encountering vastly different interpretations of the world isn’t the problem with living in the U.S. at this moment.

It comes with the territory of living in a nation of people who don’t all come from the same place.

“It takes all kinds,” as the saying goes.

However, when people can’t even agree on a common narrative, we as a community and nation at large have a problem.

The facts are that radical Islamic groups have been responsible for numerous bombings and other heinous acts, Kim Davis individually violated the law by refusing to sign marriage licenses to same-sex couples and the Confederate flag has been used to show southern pride and to display hatred against people of color.

None of these events amount to the world ending and creating a nation of divided, fearful people is not what is going to propel the U.S. forward.

Graciously tolerating people with differing opinions from your own is a valuable life skill and one well worth developing in in today’s political climate.

Sometimes the best thing to say is, “I really don’t know what happened, I wasn’t there.”

Do we really want the country to devolve into an awkward family dinner with everyone on the cusp of erupting on one another? TAS

Multicultural Greek organizations ΣΛΒ and ΣΛΓ hold interest meetings » By AALIYAH MITCHELL Staff Writer

APSU hosted interest meetings for students of cultural backgrounds interested in becoming part of one of the multicultural Greek societies, Sigma Lambda Gamma and Sigma Lambda Beta on Tuesday, Sept 15.

Young men and women interested in joining the organizations attended separate meetings in the Morgan University Center to learn about the messages of each society from senior members and alumni to get more information on how to join.

Both Sigma Lambda Gamma and Sigma Lambda Beta are Latino/Latina based organizations that over time have expanded to accept members of any ethnicity.

SLG and SLB will be the first multicultural societies at APSU. “Many people have this perception of what Greek life is… I think that a lot students from different backgrounds are looking for people they can relate to in the Greek community,” said John Hofschneider an alumni member of Sigma Lambda Beta who helped represent the fraternity at the interest meeting. “As you look at your historically African American fraternities and sororities which have

met the needs of African American college students you’re seeing a growth in Hispanic and Latino populations that are seeking the same thing, [SLB and SLG] are a part of a growing population of organizations that have a base culturally but are open to different members.”

Lexi Cabrera, director of education for Sigma Lambda Gamma, spoke over video conference with women at APSU interested in the goals and principles of the organization.

SLG’s purpose as stated in the meeting is “primarily one of promoting standards of excellence in morality, ethics and education.”

SLG and SLB participate in community service by supporting and taking part in fundraising events for multiple charities.

Currently SLG and SLB have a focus on breast cancer awareness and the Federal TRIO program, which assists low-income, first-generation and disabled students through their education.

According to their mission statement, the women of Sigma Lambda Gamma “[strive] to be the premier organization committed to providing a mechanism of empowerment to all women.”

Though most students who join a sorority do so sometime from freshman to junior year so they have longer to participate.

Women who join Sigma Lambda Gamma in their senior year are still welcomed to participate in many projects and events as alumni.

The Sigma Lambda Beta fraternity supports the Dream Act, which supports finding ways to set undocumented students on a pathway towards citizenship.

SLG and SLB encourage voter registration, and their mission is to “nurture and further a dynamic, valuesbased environment which utilizes our historically Latinobased fraternity as a catalyst to better serve the needs and wants of all people.”

Similar in purpose to Sigma Lambda Gamma, Sigma Lambda Beta promote excellence in morality, ethics and education, and alumni members have many chances to help out.

“Even when you’re done with college, there are still ways to be involved,” said Hofschneider.

Students can learn more about Greek life at APSU by emailing the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs at greeks@apsu.edu. TAS

Experiment’ Anonymous APSU student leaves love notes around campus » By ANDREW WADOVICK Assistant Features Editor

A mystery has been making its rounds across campus over the past several days.

A series of love letters were left in random locations around campus each envelope sealed in a unique way.

Each letter is written as if from a secret admirer. The mystery writer expresses their love for the reader, and says they want “the Best for you.” Curiously, in the letter, every B and C is capitalized, such as “…not for any speCifiC reason…”

Each letter also contains an unique poem at the bottom, without the random capitalization of B and C, as well as a challenge to “reCiproCate my unConditional love for you to another stranger.”

At the end of every letter the writer puts various romantic quotes. Robin Williams is quoted as John Keating from “Dead Poet’s Society.”

,,

So to avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do.”

— John Keating, “Dead Poet’s Society”

The movie covers the lives of several adolescent boys under the influence of their hopeless romantic English teacher John Keating.

The author of these letters has not been determined. If any other letters are found on campus feel free to bring them to Student Publications in MUC 111 or tag The All State on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. TAS

APSU names 11th head baseball coach » By PRESTON BOSTAIN Asisstant Sports Editor

The anticipation ended this past week when APSU announced and introduced the Governors eleventh Head Baseball Coach, Travis Janssen.

According to Athletic Director Ryan Ivey, there were nearly 100 applicants.

These applicants were narrowed down to 12 phone interviews and then down to six interviews on campus.

Janssen, a hometown native of Manhattan, Kan., earned his undergraduate degree from Kansas State University in 1996.

Throughout his playing career, Janssen was an All Region selection at Butler County and has played at New Mexico State.

While playing with New Mexico State, Janssen was a third-team National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association All America selection.

He played with the Adirondack Lumberjacks in the Northeastern Independent League for a year.

Janssen started his coaching career at Kansas State as a student assistant, then moved to Butler County, Kan. where he

also was the Florida Marlins’ associate scout.

The University of Arkansas was Janssen’s next stop as a volunteer assistant coach from 1998-2001. He also coached for Northwestern State and Hawaii.

Janssen’s next coaching job was assistant coach at Ohio Valley Conference contender Jacksonville State in Jacksonville, Fla. from 2006-2011. Primarily coaching third base and infielders, Janssen helped lead Jacksonville State to two OVC championships.

The head coaching job was vacant at Northeastern State and Janssen received his first head coaching job. Prior to Janssen’s tenure, Northeastern won only six games all season. After his arrival, the team won a total of 25 games during the season.

Since joining their league in 2013, the Riverhawks advanced to the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s Championship tournament.

“We are excited to welcome Travis and his wonderful family to Clarksville and APSU,” Ivey said. “Throughout the search process, his name continually came up from very well-respected and successful people in the baseball community. He has a vision for the Governors baseball program that will take us to the next level.” TAS

Marsellis posts 20 kills, Lady Govs still fall short » By DEVON RODRIGUEZ Staff Writer

Senior Aubrey Marsellis posted a career high of 20 kills on the night, but the Lady Govs fell in four sets.

The Lady Govs volleyball team had their hands full with the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux (8-4) on Wednesday, Sept. 16 at the Dunn Center.

APSU (4-8) fought through the first set, despite eight errors and a .143 attack percentage holding the lead late into the first set (20-19).

APSU let the lead slip away when North Dakota scored five straight points to win the first set (25-21).

The Lady Govs got the early jump in the second set with a seven point lead.

APSU finished the set with 15 kills and four errors to get the (25-21) second set victory.

After the second set performance, APSU went back to making errors.

The Lady Govs battled in the set, but once North Dakota took an (18-17) lead, they took the set into their hands. The third set resulted in a (25-20) loss for the Lady Govs, putting North Dakota up (2-1).

North Dakota put away the Lady Govs in the fourth set with their best performance of the night. North Dakota led with 16 kills and an attack percentage of .371.

Marsellis had seven of her 20 kills come in the final set.

North Dakota posted 55 kills of the night with four players ending up with 10 or more kills. APSU was led by Marsellis’s 20 kill effort which was the best by any Lady Gov this season.

Freshman Ashley Slay provided the next best kill total with nine.

The Lady Govs return to the court Friday, Sept. 25 at 7 p.m. when they will travel to the University of Tennessee at Martin. TAS

Commodores sink Govs in third consecutive loss » By PRESTON BOSTAIN Asisstant Sports Editor

The Vanderbilt University Commodores held APSU to seven points in a (47-7) loss for the third loss of the football season on Saturday, Sept. 19.

Head Coach Kirby Cannon and his team had to figure out a game plan with the recent news of sophomore running back Otis Gerron’s retirement.

Gerron was first on the depth chart following true freshman Kendall Morris.

Cannon had to rely heavily on his two freshman running backs, Morris and Taye Davis.

“Otis changed the game for us,” Cannon said. “It was a huge blow to the team to lose him.”

APSU’s defense helped out early, holding Vanderbilt to three points.

The defense was able to hold off a fourth and one on Vanderbilt’s first series of the game, allowing APSU to start deep in their own territory.

APSU senior quarterback Trey Taylor muffed a punt that was recovered by freshman wide receiver Juwan Davis at the 17-yard line.

After taking the momentum from the muffed punt, Taylor threw a dart to his receiver junior Rashaan Coleman for a 14yard touchdown to take a (7-3) lead over the Commodores.

APSU held their own in the first half by scoring the first touchdown of the game and only trailing Vanderbilt (19-7) at halftime.

The Govs’ defense spent a lot time on the field because Vanderbilt’s offense controlled most of the possession in the first half.

Vanderbilt came out in the second half

scoring on their first drive, a two yard touchdown by Ralph Webb stretching their lead to (26-7).

Vanderbilt added two additional touchdowns making the final score of the game (47-7). APSU had a total of 144 offensive yards.

For Vanderbilt, Webb scored three touchdowns in the game. Receiver Trent Sherfield had 16 catches for 240 yards including a 26-yard touchdown pass, marking a new Vanderbilt single-game record.

APSU starts Ohio Valley Conference play this week to take on Eastern Kentucky in Richmond, Kent. at 6 p.m. Cannon and the team is looking forward to recharging from Vanderbilt.

“Eastern is a very good team. Always has been,” Cannon said. “We are looking forward to starting OVC play.” TAS

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

prevented damage by the Owls.

The Lady Govs’ defense was so disruptive they held the Owls to one shot for the entire first half.

In the twelfth minute of play, freshman McKenzie Dixon assisted Junior Gina Fabbro to break the 0-0 score, scoring her fourth goal in three games.

Fabbro additionally assisted in the Lady Govs second goal of the evening. Serving a ball to senior Shelby Olszewski, Fabbro faked the keeper for a clear and open shot on goal at the twenty-second minute of play.

In a hard fought defensive first half, the Lady Govs held a 4-1 shot advantage over the Owls.

Senior Nikki Filippone took over for

sophomore Lindsey Todd midway in the game, making one save in the goalkeeper position.

The Owls finally scored in the fifty-third minute off a corner kick by Ida Hepsoe, with Kim Fincher nailing a header to pull in one goal.

The Owls saw the ball of their foot much more in the second half of play, out shooting the Lady Govs 6-4.

However, that would make no difference, as Dixon nailed the coffin shut when she added a goal in the eighty-seventh minute over a three person wall for a free kick to make it a final score of (3-1).

The Lady Govs return to the field Sunday, Sept. 27 in Richmond, Kent. where they face Eastern Kentucky at noon. TAS
