Dan+Shay Headline Big Show

Jaclyn Wiley Editor-in-Chief

What’s Inside

Touch-N-Go Productions transformed the Connolly Quadrangle into a large concert venue on Saturday, March 4. Despite rainy weather, the concert was very successful.

Tickets to the concert were free for Embry-Riddle students and guests, but 20 dollars for the general public.

Over a hundred people attended the concert.

There was a short rain shower before the concert began, but once it subsided, Smallpools took the stage. Smallpools, an indie pop band based out of California, opened for Dan + Shay. This was not first time Smallpools performed at Embry-Riddle; they headlined the 2015 fall carnival, also put on by Touch-N-Go Productions.

Smallpools played many of their own original songs, like “Killer Whales” and “Karaoke.”

They also played some

cover versions of popular songs, like “Lean on Me,”

by Bill Withers.

For more information about Smallpools, visit their website at https:// www.smallpoolsmusic. com/. Their music can be found on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, SoundCloud, and Amazon Music.

After Smallpools finished their set, Dan + Shay took the stage to thunderous applause.

Dan + Shay played many of their hit songs, including “19 You + Me,” “From the Ground Up,” and “Show You Off.” They also played some cover songs, including songs by Bon Jovi, CeeLo Green and “Mr. Brightside” by the Killers.

One of Dan + Shay’s songs, “When I Pray for You,” was recently included in the soundtrack of the new movie called, “The Shack.”

“The Shack” tells the story of a grieving man and his spiritual journey after the abduction of his youngest daughter.

“The Shack” stars Sam Worthington and Octavia Spencer and was released on March 3.

Dan + Shay have toured with Blake Shelton and Hunter Hayes, and have

performed in front of massive crowds. When asked in an interview with The Avion Newspaper, the duo said that the largest crowd they’ve ever performed in front of was 100 thousand people strong at the American Country Music Awards in 2016.

The band was created in 2012, when Dan and

Shay lived in Nashville, Tennesse. Both dreamed of creating music for a long time, and started working together very soon after they met.

Their music can be found on Spotify, Apple Music,

iTunes, SoundCloud, and Amazon Music.

ERAU Community Invited to Tour the MicaPlex

Kelly Pratt Director of Corporate Com.

The dust from construction has not quite settled, but Embry-Riddle officials are already busy planning your first look at the MicaPlex, scheduled for Monday, March 20. All Embry-Riddle students, faculty and staff are invited to the open house-style event from noon to 3 p.m.

Formally known as the John Mica Engineering and Aerospace Innovation Complex, the MicaPlex building will no longer be considered a construction site—no hard hats will be necessary during the First Look. While some tenants will begin moving in this spring, it will take several more months for the finishing touches to be completed to the laboratories in the 50,000 square-foot building.

“We know many people have been watching the building construction from Clyde Morris Boulevard as they make

their way to and from the university, so we are very excited to show off the interior as it begins to take shape,” said Dr. Stephanie Miller, University Director of Technology Transfer and Research Park Initiatives.

Miller said this is the Embry-Riddle community’s first of many opportunities to come in and see the MicaPlex, which features incubation services and office space for startups and early stage companies who are at the research and development intensive phase of their growth process and support industries relevant to the university’s area of focus. The building also includes an event space available for reservation for university innovators.

“We want students, faculty and staff to be the first to see the space. It is definitely still a work in progress, but we wanted to give you the opportunity to experience it and see what this place is all about

as we begin to assemble the spaces,” she said. “And there will be more opportunities to visit and see it come to life throughout the year as equipment and our faculty scientists and company partners begin to move in.”

The cornerstone building of the Embry-Riddle Research Park, the MicaPlex is the university’s new cutting-edge innovation hub designed to support research in aviation, space, engineering, and unmanned systems.

The MicaPlex is designed for incubating new technologies across 10,000 square-feet of flex lease space to meet tenants’ needs. Flight Level Engineering, a growing business specializing in aerospace research, engineering, and professional education services, has signed on as the first company to join the Research Park.

Early-stage businesses will have every advantage for success with support from Nexus Partners DuvaSawko, International Speedway Corp.

(ISC), and Wellspring; and Resident Partners, including FireSpring Fund, Cobb Cole, James Moore & Company, Vann Data and venVelo.

Named in honor of the Hon. John Mica, who represented Florida’s 7th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1993 to 2017, the MicaPlex will pro-

First Look at the MicaPlex • 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, March 20 • MicaPlex, 1511 Aviation Center Parkway, Daytona Beach, FL 32114 • Attendees are invited to walk, bike, drive or take a free shuttle service to the MicaPlex. Vans will be picking up and dropping off passengers from the visitor parking spaces in front of the Quad throughout the event.

• For more info, contact dbcomm@erau.edu vide technology-focused startups with collaborative workspaces, business support services and a wide range of sophisticated aerospace and engineering laboratories.

While much of those spaces will still be in the works for months to come, Miller said First Look attendees will have a chance to hear details about the various space designations from MicaPlex ambassadors stationed throughout the building.

Attendees may also participate in a time capsule activity by documenting what they think the next big idea in engineering and aerospace innovation might be achieved in the next ten years. The capsule will be buried on site and scheduled for excavation a decade later.

ERAU Career Expo Very Well Attended

Zachary Fedewa/The Avion Newspaper Originally scheduled for the fall 2016 semester, the ERAU career services annual career expo had to be moved due to hurricane Matthew. Career services was still determined to host a successful career fair during the school year and their hard work payed off immensely. The spring career fair attracted almost 3,000 students to visit the one hundred and ten companies in attendance. The Student Government Association also helped to cancel classes on the day of the fair. This allowed for students to attend the career fair instead of skipping classes. The career fair is sought after by thousands of students as jumping off point to a future career, and career services hopes to hold a fair every semester from now on to service even more students and companies.

07 SGA SGA Fee Increase - A Small Price to Pay for Major Improvements

Page

Collin Anderson Staff Reporter

To get to the point, the SGA fee is increasing from $100 to $150 per semester. Now, before freaking out, this change will not be implemented until the Fall 2018 semester, giving the student body a full year to prepare. The 50% increase is the first of this magnitude in the history of the Student Government but is long overdue with the last increase being in 2008 when it increased

by $15 and a $25 increase before that in 2005.

When asked what SGA has to gain by this move, the SGA Treasurer, Katelyn Wentworth, responded first by saying, “We’ve been running off the same SGA fee since 2008. We needed the increase five years ago. Student organizations ask for about $400,000 per semester, and we can only allocate under $200,000 to them.” With just a $50 increase per student, the SGA hopes to fulfill the demands that regis-

tered student organizations (RSO’s) ask for each semester in their budgets.

How the SGA budget is divided was also brought into question. According to Ms. Wentworth, “3035% [of the budget] goes to Touch-N-Go, 5-7% goes to WIKD, 7-9% goes to The Avion, and RSO’s get 30%.” When asked about the remaining, roughly, 20% of the budget, Ms. Wentworth said that goes to capital expenditures, the executive board budget, SRB forums, and in office

expenses. Ms. Wentworth wanted to make it clear that the percentages in which the budget is divided will remain constant.

The SGA plans to gain $250,000 more per semester with the fee increase.

This could potentially lead to not only more funding for student organizations, but also bigger acts for Blue and Gold Week like Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, and The Weeknd.

“The way that the SGA works and the reason that it is so successful

is because as an organization, we can do a lot more with a student’s $100 than a student could do with their own $100,” Ms. Wentworth said. “We work with suppliers to get everything cheap; so much cheaper than a student could get it on their own.

And that is just going to continue to improve with the new funding.”

Being college students, it is no secret we hate spending money. In the grand scheme of things, $50 is minuscule com-

TH

pared to the other $20,000 spent on tuition, room and board, and books throughout the semester. If you want to see how your SGA fee is used, go out to more SGA-sponsored events like tailgates, concerts or comedy shows. You can also get involved in more student organizations around campus. After that, you will see the return of your SGA fee and, with that, you can only imagine how much better it would be with $250,000 more in the fall of 2018.

SGA Elections Fast Approaching!

Jaclyn Wiley Editor-in-Chief The Embry-Riddle Student Government Association (SGA) will be holding elections the first week of April, from April 4-7.

Voting will be conducted via voting booths and, for students that are not able to go to the voting booths, digitally through Embry-Riddle Connections.

There are multiple positions up for election, in multiple branches of the SGA. These positions include Student Representatives, Student Finance Board members, and the SGA President, Vice President, and Treasurer.

At the time this article was written, no announcements had been made as to who any candidates were for any positions.

In years past there have been two to four executive tickets and multiple options for Student Representatives and Finance Board members. All SGA

members must follow the SGA Code of Conduct, which can be found on the SGA website.

The top three SGA positions, President, Vice President and Treasurer, run together on one ticket. The SGA election process is outlined in the SGA Constitution, which can be found on the SGA website on the SGA Executive Board page.

The President of the SGA is the highest-ranking member of the SGA and bears ultimate responsibility for activities conducted by the SGA and its organizations within. The President also acts as the official voice of the students at Board of Trustees meetings and reviews all resolutions and SGA formal proposals made and passed by the SRB or SFB within seven school days of the resolution. The current SGA President is Dustin Gibson, who is not seeking re-election.

The Vice President of

the SGA is also part of the Executive Board and serves as the head of the Student Representative Board (SRB). The Student Representative Board consists of representatives from all the colleges and some other groups,

including student veterans. Additionally, the Vice President acts as a liaison between the SRB and the rest of the SGA in general. The current Vice President of the SGA is Aaron Spiewak.

The Treasurer of the

SGA heads the Student Finance Board (SFB) and holds authority over SGA allocations to registered student organizations, the divisions of the SGA, and the SGA Executive Board.

The current Treasurer is Katelyn Wentworth.

Students interested in running for office could submit an election packet to the Chairman of the Elections Committee, SGA Vice President Aaron Spiewak. The deadline for submitting election packets was Feb 28.

Blue & Gold Week Re-imagined “Something that could only happen at Riddle”

Jaclyn Wiley Editor-in-Chief Blue & Gold Week has long been an Embry-Riddle tradition. This year, Blue & Gold Week has been re-imagined, with the theme of “We are ERAU.” The creators of Blue & Gold Week intend the event to be “something that could only happen at Embry-Riddle.”

Blue & Gold Week is an event that celebrates the love for Embry-Riddle that students, faculty, and staff all hold.

“Embry-Riddle is a community of unique and diverse people, and it has been that way since my student days,” said Lisa Kollar, the Dean of Students.

“I have learned from so many different individuals and groups and feel it has made me a global citizen. The common thread, though, that bonds us together is our passion for all things aviation.”

James Denton, a member of the SGA Spirit Committee, said, “The best part about Riddle is its desire, drive, and dedication to continually modernize its assets, programs, and the campus at large.” He continued, “We are very unique not only because we’re an aviation school that attracts students from

all over the world but also because the reputation of Riddle enables us to go out and work, learn, and connect internationally.

“

A great week celebrating school spirit.

“Our study abroad programs connect us with CEOs & Presidents in other countries, our Career Expo brings companies right to our doorstep looking to hire us because we’re a part of the top tier institutions of higher learning in the fields of aviation.”

Many students said that community was their favorite aspect of Embry-Riddle.

Mackenzie Loewen said, “I think the best part about Embry-Riddle is the community. It’s a pretty small campus, and everyone here is so close and friendly. I think our diversity makes ERAU unique.”

Many organizations are taking part or helping to organize Blue & Gold Week.

“The Dean of Students Office is supporting Student Engagement & Student Union and the colleges as they plan a great week celebrating school spirit,” said

Dean Kollar. “Plus we hope to offer sweet treats during the Blue & Gold Block Party on Friday night.”

She continued, “The Dean of Students Office is supporting Student Engagement & Student Union and the colleges as they plan a great week celebrating school spirit. Plus we hope to offer sweet treats during the Blue & Gold Block Party on Friday night.”

The SGA Spirit committee is also heavily involved with Blue & Gold week.

“My involvement with Blue & Gold week is that of planning, organizing, and advertising via the Spirit Committee,” said James Denton.

“We meet once a week and communicate frequently via email about everything that will be taking place during blue and gold week. Reaching out to the clubs and student organizations and getting them involved as well as spreading the word so they know what B&G Week is all about and to spread the hype!”

Another Blue & Gold Week tradition is to share memories about ERAU. Paige Bussard, a member of the SGA Spirit Committee, said, “My favorite Embry-Riddle Memory is learning that Dan+Shay would be coming to campus for a

concert here.”

Mackenzie Loewen, a co-chair on the Spirit Committee, said, “My favorite Embry-Riddle memory is probably when I took my first step on the campus when I was still in high school.

“From that moment on, I knew I was going to be an Eagle and this is where I belonged. Embry-Riddle has changed me into a professional leader, and I could never have imagined the incredible experience I was going to have here. #GoEagles!

“

Our diversity makes ERAU unique.

James Denton said, “Being only a second semester student, my favorite Riddle memory is when I got my acceptance letter notification.

That letter has changed my life in more ways than I’ll ever be able to count because it has change the heading in my journey of life... I’ll be looking forward to the next four years of this crazy roller coaster ride we call life!”

Blue & Gold Week lasts from March 25-30, and offers a variety of activities, which are listed to the left.

Opinion: Policing of Language

Anonymous

Since the recent change of the Title IX compliance director, there has been a noticeable effort to politically correct the language and thoughts of those who use strong terms like cancer, screwed, gay, etc., as slang to dramatize and embellish daily events that occur in academic life. This corrective movement can be seen in the form of posters and bulletin board messages displayed throughout the residence halls in various locations. While it is not a very scholarly nor professional choice of verbiage, using propaganda to suppress speech and pander to politically correct phraseology is Orwellian and regressive.

This practice leads to a dangerous precedent being set where controversial and uncomfortable topics

to when facing adversity. One must understand, these difficulties are a fact of life and must be taken in stride; we must overcome hardships with confidence and grace. We must not use censorship as a tool when it offers convenient solutions, stifling communication between one another will only fester further frustration within.

By no means is this article promoting the idea of marginalizing a group or rejecting inclusivity of others with respect to race, color, religion, sexual orientation, disability, nationality, or any other status any person associates as.

We should continue to exhibit the same levels of excellence as we do now, not allowing the pernicious effects of safe space ideology to erode the culture we hold so dear to us as a student body.

The clean up your language board posted in the Resident Halls, and the source of contempt with the anonymous author.

The Trashy Chef is Back For dessert let’s talk about the Chocolate Peanut Butter Mug Cake.

Ingredients: • 2 tbsp. butter • 2 tbsp. peanut butter • 1/2 tsp. vanilla • 1 egg • 2 tbsp. sugar • 2 tbsp. flour • 3 tbsp. cocoa powder • 1/8 tsp. salt • 1/8 tsp. baking powder • 3 tbsp. chocolate chips Directions: 1. Melt the butter in a small dish 2. Add peanut butter and mix well 3. Mix vanilla, egg, and sugar until well combined. Then combine the flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder 4. Stir all the chocolate chips in 5. Place in microwave for 1-2 minutes. It depends on your microwave.

For the other dessert now, cheesecake. Again, yes, cheesecake made in the microwave. I can’t believe it myself either. It is truly amazing where our world has come to in today.

Ingredients: • 4 tbsp. light cream cheese (you can also use cream cheese spread which actually is much easier to mix, though the final cake has looser layers) • 2 tbsp. plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream) • 2 1/2 tbsp. granulated sugar (less if you are using a sweetened flavored cheese spread) • 1 egg • 1/4 tsp vanilla For the crust: • 4 tbsp. graham cracker crumbs (place through a food processor to get fine crumbs. 4 tbsp. is about 1 sheet of graham cracker • 1 tbsp. melted butter Directions: 1. Grease the inside of a microwave-safe mug (both interior sides and bot-

tom). Add graham cracker crumbs and melted butter and mix until butter is incorporated. Press down with your hands, so the graham cracker crumbs form a crust at the bottom of mug.

2. In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Then add cream cheese, yogurt, sugar, and vanilla. Using a small whisk, mix until batter is smooth. If you are using cream cheese and not spread, there may remain lumps of cream cheese. If that is the case, use a bigger whisk, which should help you break up all the lumps. Pour batter into mug.

3. Cover the top of the mug with a paper towel or napkin and microwave for 1 minute. Mug cake should be mostly cooked except center. Pause to check on it, then microwave for another 20 seconds. Stop again, and microwave for another 20 seconds.

Then microwave for one final round of 20 sec-

onds. The cake should be completely cooked. You don't want to microwave the entire amount at once because the batter may overheat and start popping and exploding in the microwave.

4. If you have greased your mug, the cheesecake should have pulled away from the sides of the mug.

Gently slide cheesecake out of the mug. I let it come out upside down onto a big spatula and then flipped it back over onto a plate. Let cool cake at room temperature for a few minutes. When cake is no longer too hot to touch, place in the fridge to cool and set for at least 1 hour.

So, after you had that great breakfast to prepare you for the long day ahead, you can have a dessert for when all of it falls apart. I know that’s one thing I love to do when I had a bad day. Hope you enjoy these recipes see you next time folks.

Crown thy good, with brotherhood, thy liberty and law.

God mend thine every flaw, thy liberty and law.

AMERICA, AMERICA, I say, God shed his grace on thee, and crown thy good, with brotherhood, undimmed by human tears.

So, I sit and think, and think.

AMERICA, they say, laughing hysterically, A country divide, country divide.

For they cannot unite, all they do is fight.

For there is a tremble, of a country divide, felt in all lands across the seas.

Country Divide, by Justine Amando

Country divide oh, country divide, why do you fight?

WHY DO YOU FIGHT? there must be so many reasons, why things just aren’t right.

So many reasons America cannot unite.

People are yelling in the streets, holding up signs, with tears in their eyes, my country ‘tis of thee sweet land of liberty, OF THEE I SING OF THEE I SING Please, Please hear me.

Starting with the Tex-Mex Breakfast Muffin.

Ingredients: • Non-stick cooking spray • 1 1/2 English muffin • 1 cold large egg • 1 tbsp. plain yogurt, cold

Directions: 1. Use a microwavable cup that is just the same size as the muffin and press it into the cup. Spray the edges with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the muffin.

2. In a separate bowl whisk the egg, yogurt, Pico de Gallo, and the salt until frothy. Pour over the muffin. Top it with chorizo and more cheese.

3. Microwave for 2 minutes.

You are now ready to serve.

4. We made this dish completely wrong, to be honest, and forgot some of the ingredients. Now it was still good because it was an English muffin with

egg on it. This is a good meal to start your day out with so you can be ready for whatever your classes throw at you.

People are tired, angry, hungry.

From the city lights of New York, to the great pacific coast of Los Angeles, and all the valleys, and places in-between.

A roar so grand, so grand, cannot be ignored.

Back again with the Trashy Chef. We have some recipes this week for you guys to try out in your microwave.

We tried a little more on the desert side this week since we have done so many recipes for lunches and dinners in the past. Sometimes a good dessert is that little thing you need at the end of a long day or a stressful week. We started it off with a quick, easy breakfast idea this week.

Always need to start that morning off right. It is called a Tex-Mex Breakfast Muffin.

After this, we made a Chocolate Peanut Butter Mug Cake and Cheese Cake. YES!!!

We made cheesecake in the microwave. Let’s see how these microwavable foods are made and their ingredients.

• 1 tbsp. Pico de Gallo • Pinch of salt • 1 tbsp. cooked chorizo (could be chopped ham or leftover steak) • 2 tbsp. shredded cheese, like pepper jack or cheddar • Optional garnishes: diced tomatoes, sliced avocados, extra Pico de Gallo

Here me sing.

are deemed oppressive or marginalizing. Ideas may be subject to censorship to prevent "triggers" or other emotional reactions by those who feel upset or disagree with a discussion one may present.

As an institution of higher education, we should hold free speech in the highest of regard. Under no circumstance should we allow censorship to proliferate within our community drowning out the voice of anyone, so long as the discussion is not maliciously targeting an individual or specific group of people. By all means, if an event becomes the subject of controversy. Engage in calm discussion and allow any and all to contribute to that discussion.

The Airbus A330-200 was en route from Dusseldorf, Germany to Cancun, Mexico at 36,000 feet when it encountered smoke in the cockpit. The

Airbus then proceeded to divert and land at Daytona Beach.

Unfortunately, the weekend when this occurred was the busiest week of the entire year in Daytona, as the emergency occurred the Saturday before the Daytona 500. All the hotels in town were booked, if not overbooked, forcing the passengers that evacuated from the Air Berlin flight to stay in the termi-

nal until a replacement aircraft was dispatched.

One day later, American Airlines dispatched another A330, this one being a slightly bigger -300, from Philadelphia to transport the passengers to their final destination.

American Airlines and Air Berlin are both in the Oneworld alliance. The American Airlines Airbus A330-300 departed with the Air

Berlin passengers on Feb. 26 during the iconic 59th running of the Daytona 500 race.

Another issue was the terminal at Daytona is not equipped to service an aircraft the size of the A330, meaning the passengers’ luggage was not able to be transferred to the replacement aircraft.

The Air Berlin A330 was then repaired and flown to Cancun with the luggage still on board.

Although this incident was an unfortunate series of events for Air Berlin and its passengers, the A330’s made quite a sight for plane spotters and other aircraft fans here at ERAU. The A330’s were still overshadowed, however, by the US Air Force Thunderbirds display team and their accompanying C-17 that visited the airport over the race weekend.

Boeing Stock Soars with a New White House Alisse Palmer Correspondent The mark of a new administration in DC led to some insecurity in the market regarding the prices of aviation companies, and how defense contracts would look in the future. A large part of this insecurity was due to implications that the Trump administration

may or may not continue defense contracts.

Over Twitter, Trump criticized the price tag of the Air Force One Boeing 747-8 currently in development. This also comes after a presidential tweet in December which implied that the Lockheed Martin F-35 program may be passed over in favor of a contract with Boeing's F-18.

The Lockheed Martin F-35 is a fighter jet which has now become the most expensive military weapon system in history, with an initial estimated program cost of 89 million- 200 million which has now risen to 323 billion after years of development. The cost is expected to be 80 million per plane. Shortly after the tweet, Lockheed Mar-

tin stock fell as Boeing saw an increase.

Boeing generates the majority of its revenue from its Defense, Space and Security division, and so stands to either gain or lose severely from the new policies of the Trump administration.

They could benefit from more aggressive foreign policy, but if anticipated trade blocks go through,

the company stands to lose a lot- 60-70% of Boeing’s revenue comes from foreign clients. China, especially, is slated to dramatically expand its airliner fleets, and Boeing is the current prime candidate to do so.

Investors, at least, seem optimistic. Boeing stock has continued to climb, with stock surging 50% in the last year.

French Select Airbus H160 Henry Neiberlien News Editor The French military has selected Airbus Helicopters’ newest helicopter model, the H160, for its air-service light rotorcraft replacement program. Not only does France have a massive stake in its development through Airbus, but the H160 is also specifically designed to replace the AS365 Dauphin, which has been in service with the French and many other militaries around the globe for over thirty years.

The H160 will also replace the aging Panther and Alouette III helicopters in French naval service, the Fennec in French Army service and the Gazelle in French Army service.

This will be a massive order for the French Military and Airbus Helicopters, and the H160

will quickly become an iconic helicopter of the French military.

The French Defense Minister has described the order to be in the magnitude of around 160 to 190 airframes. The H160, despite making its first flight in 2015, is still very much under development and is not likely to enter service militarily until around 2024.

The H160 is the beginning of a new era for Airbus Helicopters. It is the first entirely new aircraft to join the H- series product line; joining the H145 and H175 which are rebranded Eurocopter models.

The H160 is not only very aesthetically pleasing, but it can also cruise at high speeds of up to 160 knots while taking 12 passengers 450 nautical miles. This performance is similar to that of the

UH-60 Blackhawk.

However, the Blackhawk still maintains a longer range than the H160 due to the ability to carry external fuel tanks. The H160 is also

not a strictly military bird and has already grown popular with private customers.

The selection by the French military has just further secured the

future of the H160 and Airbus Helicopters well into the future. It is only a matter of time before the H160 becomes a staple of modern rotor wing aviation.

Dir. of Intelligence Nominee Says US Must Speed Up Satellite Acquisition and Launch Jaclyn Wiley Editor-in-Chief Could the long acquisition and launch process of US intelligence satellites lead to negative consequences for the United States? According to President Trump’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence, yes.

“We cannot afford to be behind the curve in terms of development of both the offensive and defensive capacities that we put up into space,” said nominee Dan Coats, during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, on Tuesday, Feb 28. Coats, a Republican, served as a Senator from Indiana twice, from 1989-1999 and 2011-2017.

During this testimony,

Coats stressed the importance of space-based intelligence, citing the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the ability of the National Reconnaissance Agency for their “geospatial mastery.”

Coats did not praise the long acquisition and launch process for spacebased intelligence satellites, however, saying that the long procurement process interferes with the competitiveness of the United States.

Coats said that the United States must stay at the forefront of satellite innovation rather than fall behind other nations.

Nominee Coats was mostly concerned about increased accessibility of space to foreign reconnaissance purposes, which could be used negatively against

the United States.

In recent years, the number of nations with the capability to launch satellites has increased, meaning that the United States now has greater competition in the skies.

Those nations often have a less robust acquisition program for their satellites, meaning that they can be launched sooner.

Though the shorter acquisition cycle is advantageous in some situations, like that of the recent India launch of 104 satellites which was cited by Coats during his hearing, it is not always. A good example of this was the Russian Kanopus-ST satellite, which failed to separate from its second stage in December 2015. Part of this spy satellite’s mission was to test submarine

tracking capabilities.

The long acquisition process for the United States military and intelligence satellites is driven by a desire for safety and effectiveness. This goal has long been one of United States space ventures, going back to the first American satellite, Explorer 1.

Explorer I was the first American satellite, and third man-made satellite ever successfully launched into orbit after Sputnik I and II. Explorer I was a civilian-produced satellite that found the first evidence of the Van Allen radiation belt and remained in orbit for almost 12 years.

For reference, Sputnik I stayed in orbit for just over three months and did little more than beep.

Since Explorer 1, over 7500 satellites have been

launched, with 3000 still in orbit.

Former Sen. Dan Coats was nominated by President Trump for the Director of National Intelligence in early Jan. At the time when this article was written, he had not yet been confirmed for the position. If Coats is confirmed, his office will oversee the “Intelligence Community,” which is made up of 16 intelligence agencies.

In a statement issued by the Trump transition team, Coats said, “A robust and responsible intelligence infrastructure is essential to our homeland security, and if confirmed I will ensure our national security decision-makers have every piece of information they need to protect the American people from the threats facing our nation.”

SpaceX is Flying to the Moon in 2018 Michael Weinhoffer Senior Reporter

pany and other suborbital spaceflight companies want to do. SpaceX is willing to accept that any Mars mission is going to cost a lot of money and will result in the deaths of astronauts.

It is a toss-up between Blue Origin, SpaceX, and NASA on who is going to get to the Moon first, and I am very happy that the Moon is back within reach for these explorers.

As a side note, I would like to comment on the news articles that were released regarding SpaceX’s announcement. Some articles were supportive, while others, such as an opinion piece in the British Independent, was a withering condemnation of SpaceX. The article suggested that

space was forever to be restricted to the rich and that all innovation had been lost for the company to make a quick buck. Sure, it may be very expensive to go to outer space right now, but we have plans to go back to the Moon! Is it not high time that we stop relying on Russian rockets to launch an American astronaut into space? For me, that is downright embarrassing.

We have the innovators and the capabilities, but we still rely on old Russian rockets to get us to the ISS. God forbid the Russians give our seats to someone else!

It is time we get back to launching American astronauts on American rockets, from American launch sites. A return to the Moon

is what we have been waiting for, and people are complaining about the price, when it is not even taxpayer money, unlike NASA’s missions.

A new space race has begun. An American space race. Public-private partnerships fueled by innovation. No other nation is close to sending astronauts to the Moon, let alone Mars.

This new space race will restore national pride for space exploration. Will it always be expensive? Sure.

Worth it? 100%. It will be an expensive mission, but SpaceX will not put a price on the discoveries that will come out of its missions; exploration of a new frontier is truly priceless, no matter how you spin it.

On Monday, Feb. 27, SpaceX announced that they will fly two citizens around the Moon in late 2018 on the Dragon 2 spacecraft. This is especially exciting because it is SpaceX’s first mention of the Moon in their plan to land on Mars. Many people are relieved by this wise decision, while others are quite upset with this announcement, so it is important to establish the facts regarding this matter and then examine the implications of this announcement.

According to the announcement page, the two citizens have paid a “significant deposit.” It will cost hundreds of millions of dollars for the trip itself, not including all the training and health-related checks that need to be conducted.

The spacecraft will not land on the Moon, and the journey will take about a week: three days there and three days back. No one knows who the travelers are except SpaceX, but Dennis Tito and James Cameron seem to be the most likely candidates. Tito paid approximately $20 million to travel to the ISS in 2001, and James Cameron appears to love exploration, as evidenced by his solo deep-sea dive in 2012. Of course, this is just speculation, and we will not know the traveler’s identities until SpaceX announces them.

The Dragon 2 spacecraft will deliver cargo to the ISS later this year, and a crewed mission to the ISS in mid-2018 will be the final preparation for the Moon mission. The citizens will be launched to the Moon onboard the Falcon Heavy rocket, which is expected to launch for the first time this summer off the historic Cape Canaveral pad, LC-39A. That is all the information that has been provided by SpaceX, so now the implications of this mission can be examined.

Now, NASA, SpaceX, and Blue Origin all plan to either fly by or land on the Moon, so a national space race is brewing. I personally think that Elon Musk of SpaceX has made a very wise decision in testing Mars technology around the Moon first. I think that SpaceX has realized that going from the Earth to Mars is extremely risky, especially considering that we have not been back to the Moon in almost fifty years. It may cost hundreds of millions of dollars to get there, but what did we as a nation expect?

SpaceX has never said that they wanted to make space travel affordable – that is what The Spaceship Com-

Embry-Riddle Mourns the Passing of Abbey Trinca

Alison Smalling ERAU Athletics

The Embry-Riddle Department of Athletics mourns the passing of women's golf student-athlete Abbey Trinca, who passed away unexpectedly on Monday.

"There are not enough words to capture this profound loss and heartbreak,"

ERAU Head Women's Golf Coach Maria Lopez said.

"Abbey was very passionate about her family, her homeland of Australia, her friends and EXTREMELY proud to be an Embry-Riddle Eagle. At age 17, she came across the world from Australia to pursue her dream of academics and golf. She worked three jobs and competed

as a collegiate athlete, all while being a Dean's List student in pursuit of her dream. She loved her team and friends deeply. Abbey was so proud of them.

She was sweet and a kind spirit that will be missed and treasured."

Trinca, 21, joined the Embry-Riddle women's golf program in 2013 after graduating from

the Maribrynong Sports Academy in Melbourne, Australia. She was a four-year letterwinner at ERAU, shooting a careerlow 78 at the World Golf Classic in 2015. Prior to coming to Embry-Riddle, Trinca won the Victorian School Sports Award for golf in 2012.

Trinca also kept busy away from the

course. She was a conference assistant for Embry-Riddle Residence Life, and was a part of ERAU Athletics' game operations/facilities and weight room staff.

"The Embry-Riddle Athletics family was devastated to learn of Abbey's passing," ERAU Director of Athletics John Phillips said. "Abbey was an out-

standing student in our Human Factors program and a great representative of our University on the golf course and in the community. It's heartbreaking to see a young life cut short. We will provide support and comfort for her teammates, friends and coaches as they go through the grieving process."

“ Abbey was a very down to earth person that could turn any room from sad to joyful. She would do

anything to help out her teammates and friends with whatever they may be going through while staying disciplined in her academics. We will all miss Abbey dearly. – Paige Bussard

Multiple students help re-light the candles after the wind blew them out.

They continued keeping the candles alive throughout the entire vigil.

ERAU Softball Wins Opener 5-1 Emily Ferguson ERAU Athletics The Embry-Riddle softball team opened the home portion of the 2017 season with a 5-1 victory over the Panthers of Florida Tech on Friday. The Eagles improve to 5-10 and the Panthers drop to 10-9.

After three quick Florida Tech outs in the first inning, the Eagles took the 3-0 lead with an earned run by Eryn Chester and unearned runs

by Anna Battison and Maggie Scott.

The Eagles increased their lead by two in the third inning after Battison's double brought in Chester and Battison was batted in on Kassidy

Simon's groundout.

The Eagles held their 5-0 lead until the fifth inning when Florida Tech put one runner on base and drove her in with a double making the score 5-1.

The Panthers did not put any runners on base for the remainder of the game and the Eagles held on to their lead for a 5-1 victory over FIT. Ilona Andringa (4-4) earned the win and gave up one run off of five hits and had eight strikeouts.

ERAU First Swim Meet Since 2013

Jordan Hilgers ERAU Swimming Club

On Saturday, February 25th, twelve swimmers from the Embry-Riddle Swimming club traveled to Fort Myers to compete in a collegiate level club swim competition at Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU). Some of us traveled by university van and others traveled by air in order to log hours!

Our swimmers who attended were: Aly Blakeley, Ben Aulenback, Beth Zangenberg, Brett Nalezinksi, Daniel Rugani, Jake Gremer, Jordan Hilgers, Luke Gernatt, Maria Mejia, Max Anderson, Paige Arbutina, and Rafael Saldana.

The other universities that participated include; FGCU, Florida State University (FSU), University of Central Florida (UCF),

University of Miami (UM), University of South Florida (USF), Nova Southeastern University (NSU).

The campus swim club went extinct in 2013 and has recently been re-established in the fall of 2016 by Jordan Hilgers, a Human Factors graduate student, and Beth Zangenberg, an aviation business student with the help of the advisor Dr. Jason Kring, a Human Factors Associate Professor and committed triathlete.

The club is open to competitively-trained swimmers and newer swimmers alike and currently has about thirty members.

This competition was the first swim meet that the Embry-Riddle Swimming club has participated in since its re-establishment. The club had an unforgettable experience traveling and competing

with other universities.

Swim meets allow swimmers to gain insight into their performance through providing an environment in which personal records and times can be tracked.

For example, during typical practices/workouts competitions are not usually organized, and tracking equipment is not used so “personal records” do not occur during a regular practice. Swimming is more of an individual sport so allowing our swimmers to obtain their best times will better prepare them for future competitions so that they can continually improve their technique and speed.

With that said, swimming is not entirely about individual performance as there are relay events where multiple swimmers participate. We were able to par-

ticipate in both male and female relay events, and there was a sure sense of comradery and team spirit throughout these events as well as during the other events in which we cheered our teammates on.

We are very much looking forward to additional opportunities in the future to compete with other universities. We would especially like to thank the Student Government Association for providing financial support to offset the expenses of gas and registration, as well as Negar Afshar from the Office of Student Engagement & Student Union for her assistance and coordination, and lastly, the Department of Housing & Residence Life for allowing us to utilize their university vehicle to make the drive over to FGCU.

The Eagles (6-10) mounted a nine-run rally in the first game, but the Lions (5-14-1) scored four runs in the seventh inning to take the game.

Quinn Bourque did the work on the mound in the series finale, getting the win as ERAU was able to down the Lions, 5-2.

Game 1 - FMU 11, ERAU 9 (7) The Eagles found themselves down 7-0 after the top of the third inning in the day's first game, but ERAU scored nine unanswered runs to take a 9-7 lead over the visitors going into the final frame.

FMU pushed across four runs in the seventh and held the Eagles scoreless in the bottom of the inning en route to the win.

Troy Naab was chased by the Lions in the third after giving up seven runs (six earned) on eight hits.

But ERAU chipped away, getting a two-run homer from Jonathan Camp in the bottom of the third, followed by two more runs in the fifth, trimming the deficit to 7-4.

vs Florida Memorial: 9

Embry Riddle: 9

vs Embry Riddle: 5

Florida Memorial: 2

The sixth inning was all ERAU as Justin Franklin doubled in a run, followed by an error leading to a second Eagle run in the frame.

Christopher Medina registered a sacrifice fly to knot the game at 7-7 before A.J. Mazzurco singled and Kyle Guttveg singled, each scoring a run, as ERAU took a 9-7 lead.

FMU put two men on before a sac bunt moved them both into scoring position, and back-toback singles tied the game before an RBI single put FMU in front, followed by a sac fly, accounting for the 11-9 final.

Game 2ERAU FMU 2 (7) The series finale belonged to Bourque as the freshman went six innings, allowing two runs on seven hits before Vincent Rosace nailed down his 5,

second save of the season with a scoreless seventh.

Franklin got the first RBI of the contest with a single through the right side in the first inning, and after a Cody Bogart sac fly scored Medina, Ryan Maxon got a bases-loaded walk to make it 3-0 early on in the game.

Logan Malphurs collected his first RBI of the year in the third, plating Bogart from second, but a solo homer from FMU in the fifth cut the lead to 4-1.

The Lions got one more run in th sixth, but ERAU answered right back when Zach Howard singled through the infield, making it 5-2 in favor of ERAU. Rosace worked around a one-out walk, starting a 1-6-3 double play that ended the game as ERAU claimed the series.

Embry-Riddle comes right back to host Bellevue, on Sunday, March 5 at 3 p.m.

Devin Edwards/The Avion Newspaper Garrett Goodall, Freshman, bunts the ball towards the third base line and makes it in time to 1st base.
