Schools all around the country, including schools from the Hampton Roads area, participated in a national walkout Wednesday, March 14.

T h i s wa l kout pr ot e s t i n g gun-violence and lack of gunrelated protections in legislatures comes a month after the

shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School where 17 students were killed by a single gunman.

The school districts agreed on a plan for the walkouts in order to maximize safety. While there were differences in how each district carried out the walkout, these were the general parameters: students and staff who desire to leave their build-

ings will do so at 10 a.m. across all time zones and stay outside for 17 minutes, in honor of each of the 17 victims in Parkland.

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the most recent mass shooting in the United States and it has led to several student groups across the country taking action in order to help ensure that tragedies like this donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen in

the future.

T he C apt a i nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s L og i nter viewed several teachers and s t ud e nt s f r o m a r ou n d t h e Hampton Roads area in order to gauge what the opinions of the event were.

The Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Italian Ice location on Warwick Blvd. had its ice cream stand and trailer stolen.

The locationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner, Jerr y Crissman, reported the truck stolen after receiving a text message from one of his managers, Renee Ceaborn.

The message Ceaborn sent him was â&#x20AC;&#x153;I assume you have the trailerâ&#x20AC;? and as soon as Crissman saw that message he says he knew it was stolen.

This exchange happened on Wednesday March 14 around 10 a.m.

Crissman says that he left the establishment Tuesday night around 11 p.m. and that the truck must have been stolen

bet ween t hen a nd t he nex t morning.

This 7-by-14 foot trailer is estimated to have a $16,0 0 0 value. Inside was a freezer, a mobile cart and a tent all bearing Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logos with a few paper plates, cups and other small items.

So far, Crissman has filed a report with the Newport News Police, posted on his personal and professional social media and filed a claim with his insurance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get it back,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Crissman laments that this couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have come at a worse time. On March 20, the first day of spring, there is always free Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ice and he says he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need something else to worry

about on top of t hat major event.

Crissman also had planned to do a mobile operation in Buckroe Beach but he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a replacement in time.

When asked what he plans to do, he says â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just going to have to wait.â&#x20AC;?

If he gets the insurance claim money he may have time to purchase a new trailer, freezer

and cart but that remains to be seen. In the meantime, Crissma n pl a ns to keep posti ng on social media and working with his insurance company to resolve this situation. n

Christopher Newportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Reiff Center on Human Rights and Conflict Resolution hosted an event last Thursday entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;CounterTerrorism and the American Experienceâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Riyadh Rising: U.S. Efforts to Co-Opt and Contain Saudi Powerâ&#x20AC;? in its advertisement to the Honors Department.

Whether or not either of those titles fit what was actually discussed is questionable.

The lecture, from Dr. David

Wright of Harvard University and Dr. Mary Burton from the U.S. Defense Department, was more focused on the history of terrorism than any other subject.

The lecture began by talking about the origins of terrorism, both in the United States and abroad.

According to the speakers, terrorism found its beginnings with anarchists, first abroad in Europe and later in the United States.

Burton stated these terrorists committed high-level assassinations of high ranking political figures around the globe, including

the king of Italy. She also explained that they also assassinated President William McKinley in the U.S. This lead to the creation of the Bureau of Investigation, which would later become the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to investigate anarchists and other far left organizations.

The Palestinians became the first modern terrorists in their conflict with Israel, according to the speakers.

In this action, the United States negotiated with terrorists and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t react when embassies were

attacked and ambassadors were killed.

According to Wright, Reagan had a new approach to terrorism, which involved going after the state sponsors. He wanted to go after Iran and Russia, but they were too powerful to attack, so instead he went after Libya.

Reagan waited for a verifiable attack and then struck. Whether or not he was effective at actually stopping terrorism is up to interpretation, says Wright.

The next big terrorist attack against the U.S. was the Oklahoma

City Bombing.

Wright implied that, since this crime was committed by a white U.S. citizen, very little was done afterward.

Wright finishes his talk saying that most people think of 9/11 with all of its consequences including Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq as another major terrorist attack.

The speakers concluded, saying that terrorism has seemingly become a monthly occurrence for Americans, Canadians and especially Europeans. n

Wit h t he recent shooti ng at Parkland High School in Florida, active conversation about student safety on school grounds has made its way into Student Assembly discussion.

Capt ai n Scot t Austi n a nd Chief Dan Woloszynowski of t he Ch ristopher Universit y Police Department (CN UPD) were t he g uest sp e a kers at the Student Assembly meeting Monday March 12.

They discussed police protocol s i n response to pos sible active campus threats, campus safety and conclude d w it h a Q & A s e s sion wit h t he delegates for t hei r questions as wel l as student feedback. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Safety is a common sense approach,â&#x20AC;? says Chief Woloszynowski in regards to general campus safety. He advised st udent s t o h ave CN U P Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number on speed dial so that any person feeling unsafe can call quickly, and so CN U PD can respond as quickly as possible.

It is also advised to sign up for CN U A ler t s a long wit h taking other basic measures, such as walking or running i n g roups du ri ng t he night or e a rly mor n i n g. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fol low di rections we give to you,â&#x20AC;?

Woloszy nowski emphasi zed

in regards to listening to the instructions sent out via CNU Alerts.

CN U A ler ts not on ly give directions for drills and delays, but also vital information in case of a shooter, or anything else of a similar danger, which i s cl a s si f ie d a s a n â&#x20AC;&#x153;ac t ive threat.â&#x20AC;?

In the case of these active threat incidents, Chief Woloszynowski and Captain Austin stated that the first tip they give is usually to shelter in place, hide and blockade the entrances to the room such as windows and doors.

I f CN U PD is a ler ted t hat there is an active threat in a specific building, then nobody c a n enter or exit u nti l t he threat is deemed to be gone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to tell you when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to move,â&#x20AC;? says Chief Woloszynowski.

Crowded areas and people moving from place to place can cause confusion for authorities as well as people trying to leave the area, so the best option is to stay where you are.

If there are shots, Captain Austin recommended securing the immediate area by closing blinds, tur ning of f devices, speaking quietly and remaining calm.

He says if you are calling 911, the first thing you should do is state your location during an active threat.

D ele g at e s h ad t hei r ow n questions and mu ltiple students expressed concerns for the officers during the Q&A session.

O ne dele g at e a ske d wh at one should do in a situation where it is unsafe to speak, wh ic h t h e o f f ic e r s r e c o m mended that callers leave an open line, text a friend to call for you with information, or hit the Alertus box if it is safe to do so. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Si nce CN U is an open c a mpu s , a r e t her e a ny of f c a mpu s t h r e at s we shou ld be aware of that stand out? â&#x20AC;? questioned another delegate.

With no instances available, Chief Woloszynowski did mention that if anything or any person strikes you as out of the ordinary, â&#x20AC;&#x153;See something, say something.â&#x20AC;?

At t he c onclu sion of t he meeting, a delegate reported students who wanted to participate in the active shooter drills on campus, but could not due to its occurrence over fall break last year. They also brought up an idea of online Title IX training for individual students who expressed interest in it that are not receiving it for specific jobs.

S t u d e nt A s s e m bly h ol d s meetings in the Luter Atrium every other Monday night at 7:30 p.m. and is open to the student body. n

In the latest installment of The Dean Williams Parks Colloquium Series, Philip J. (P.J.) Crowley spoke in the Gaines Theatre to students, faculty and others about the current state of foreign affairs.

Having recently published a book called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Red Line: American Foreign Policy in a Time of Fractured Politics and Failing States,â&#x20AC;? Crowley came to CNU on Wednesday March 14, to discuss the state of U.S. foreign affairs and other pressing related topics.

Crowley, a retired Air Force Colonel, was openly against the current administration and how they do business.

Ser vi ng as assist a nt sec retary for public affairs and spokesman for the U.S. State Department from 2009 to 2011, Crowley played a crucial role

within then-President Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s st at e dep a r t ment a nd wa s naturally very approving of the previous administration and its foreign escapades.

He even went as far as saying that the administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s negotiation with Iran in regards to their nuclear development is Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;greatest successâ&#x20AC;? as far as foreign affairs go.

From the very beginning, Crowley stressed that President Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tweets are a great representation of his administration: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chaotic and Fascinating.â&#x20AC;?

As far as previous presidents go, the Trump effect was interesting to Crowley in that it was largely bipartisan.

Trump has criticized George H.W. Bush for his invasion of Iraq, stating that the trillions of dollars spent there wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been better off spent on our infrastructure, which is something â&#x20AC;&#x153;he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wrongâ&#x20AC;? about, admitted Crowley.

In some sort of backhanded compliment, Crowley anointed Trump as the most transparent president of the era, stating that â&#x20AC;&#x153;if he is thinking something, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more likely than not going to hear about it.â&#x20AC;?

W it h t h i s , h e c r it ic i z e d Trump for his â&#x20AC;&#x153;diminishmentâ&#x20AC;? of â&#x20AC;&#x153;presidential rhetoric.â&#x20AC;?

Crowley told the audience that he thinks â&#x20AC;&#x153;chaos is a fair descriptionâ&#x20AC;? of Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rhetoric as well as his White House.

With this in mind, Crowley says that â&#x20AC;&#x153;He [Trump] can be his own worst enemyâ&#x20AC;? when it comes to foreig n a f fai rs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rhetoric is sharper than Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? in an era when many global leaders are on edge.

On the topic of North Korea, Crowley prefaced his thoughts by saying that â&#x20AC;&#x153;politics shapes foreign policy today in significant waysâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;in some ways thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing new about this.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is Kim Jong Un trying to

do? Well, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know,â&#x20AC;? but Crowley says that there is great political pressure on Trump to resolve the issue with North Koreaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nuclear aggression and testing.

This being said, the speaker assured the crowd that there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a â&#x20AC;&#x153;new cold warâ&#x20AC;? brewing across the two ponds on either side of North America.

Despite the physical barriers and distance separating us from much of the rest of the world, Crowley still believes that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Global interdependence is a reality, not a choice,â&#x20AC;? which is a common talking point of the globalists in opposition to Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nationalist agenda.

Dayana Fyulep, a freshman who attended the speech, said that while she thought Crowley was a well-spoken individual she felt that overall his speech was heavily biased. She got to talk with him one on afterwards and felt that her opinion was changed in a negative way.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I view America and Russia as two of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest powers that must come together and cooperate on any serious world issues and especially work towards a better relationship between each other than be competitive,â&#x20AC;? Fyulep says.

She continues by saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a person who has double citizenship (Russian and American) it upsets me to hear such â&#x20AC;&#x153;importantâ&#x20AC;? and famous American Democrats promote Russia in his speech as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;evil empireâ&#x20AC;? with an aw fu l, misbehaved president who needs to pay for all the mistakes and for being a great country who has helped Syrian government and Russian populations in Ukraine.â&#x20AC;?

She concludes her comments by saying that there is no need for propaganda tied with drama and twisting news.

Crowleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book can be found on Amazon if you are interested in learning more on this topic.n

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You c a n do whatever you wa nt, make this job your own.â&#x20AC;? These were the on ly words of advice that Josh Reyes, a previous Editor-in-Chief (EIC), left with me as I took up the mantle of EIC on The Captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Log almost an entire year ago. I have tried to keep these words at the forefront of my mind throughout this year, but as my own journey with The Captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Log comes to an end I want to share my experiences and why being a member of The Capt ai nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s L og has been a def i ni ng aspect of my time here at Christopher Newport University.

My journey began as a small sophomore when Josh Reyes, the EIC at the time, reeled me in. I had seen an application for a position as Copy Editor and thought that this was my only chance to get in with the paper. I was wrong.

A fter a wonder ful chat with Josh I decided to come on as a staff writer and work my way up from there.

That first year was a bit rough for me.

I had just started working at Einsteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, had a full load of classes that were finally to my liking and I was trying to juggle a new relationship. Things were crazy.

One thing that kept me coming back to that small office on the third floor of the DSU, though, was the friendly, welcoming environment that The Captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Log offered me. Josh would send me a message every now and then, encouraging me to come back and write and whenever I was able to come in people were happy to see me. I felt welcome.

It was this first experience with The Captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Log that set me on the path to where I am today.

I took on a position as an intern for The Captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Log the second semester of my sophomore year. I had to complete 120 hours of work, do weekly intern logs of what I did and contribute steady content. That was my ticket in. I became a permanent fixture in the office and even earned a place on the family tree, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tortured Soulâ&#x20AC;? niece Melanie. It was so exciting to finally find an organization that took me in as one of their own.

Fa st for wa rd a few we ek s a nd I applied to be an editor for my junior year. The new EIC, Ben Leistensnider, hired me as the News Editor and I started my junior year with that same busy schedu le as before. It quickly b e c a me appa rent t h at I ne e de d to choose how my mental priority list was laid out. After a tearful decision I quit my job at Einsteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and made The Captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Log my main priority.

Wow, that was a good decision. Time management is a big part of this job. I was spreading myself too thin with my obligations and found that by focusing on one specific organization I was much happier. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something about not having to worry about running to the next thing after Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m done with a spread that made my junior year a lot less stressful than it could have been.

=\algj%af%;`a]^ E]dYfa] G[[`amrrg ogjck oal` F]ok =\algj :j]ll ;dYjc gf `ak o]]cdq khj]Y\& E9;Q >JA=F<' L@= ;9HL9AFĂ&#x152;K DG? After a year of hard work as News Editor and a bit of a struggle near the end for that EIC position, I was entering my senior year.

To b e honest I d id nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t r e a l ly k now wh at to expect. Each year brings its own challenges and boy did this year bring some challenges.

Between failing c omputer s a nd cra zy budgeting issues, this ye a r h a s b e e n one of the most trying years i n my c ol lege career. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t f u l ly ready for t h e a m ou nt o f stress that came wit h t hi s job.

W henever I felt stuck or was unsure of how I should do things, I remember that there was no right or wrong way to do this job as long as at the end of the day everything got done. I have made and lost many relationships with people at this university throughout the course of this job but it feels like I got a chance to accomplish something

during my time here.

On a happier note there were a ton of fun memories from this year in addition to the massive amounts of stress.

After not getting to go to a conference my junior year I m a d e it my pr ior it y to get my staff to the Col lege Media Association Confer enc e.

The conference is held in New Y o r k City so we had to do a lot of planning to get there. The whole experience was definitely one that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll mark down as a learning experience.

I think the biggest bonding moment of the whole trip was having to drive through a massive snowstorm to get to New York. Working together was essential to making it safely and we were

Ă&#x2030;Qgm [Yf \g o`Yl]n]j qgm oYfl$ eYc] l`ak bgZ qgmj gof&Ă&#x160; %Bgk` J]q]k >gje]j =\algj %af%;`a]^

able to do that.

There were a lot of long hours spent in our office and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m eternally grateful for the office space that we were given by the university.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how we wou ld have gotten through the years without the resources we were given.

My year as EIC was not boring to say the least. There were a lot of leadership skills that I needed to hone in order to make it through. I think that I came out the other side a little more prepared for a future leadership position than I would have before this year.

The new EIC position is getting ready to be filled and I have to say that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m both excited and nervous for the new crew to take things over.

G et ti ng my persona l li fe back is going to be the most exciting part of the end of my senior year but at the same time, I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll miss the crazy hours this job entails.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot that I accomplished and a lot that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accomplish this year and I have nothing but optimism for next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team. I am excited to see what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll accomplish and what new things theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll dream up.

But I am going to leave the next generation of The Captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Log with the same advice I was given coming in: this job is what you make it, it is up to you to create the next version of The Captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Log. n

O n F r id ay, M a r ch 16 t he Improvocateurs hosted their comedy show “A l l Tide Up” which i ncluded not on ly improv, but also intermittent sketches a nd st a nd-up routines.

During the game, members pair up and they move counterclockwise, acting out variables given by the audience.

As the scene develops, freshman G eorgia Bransfor d s ays t h at she’s move d

Du ri ng t he sketch on “I f CN U event s wer e hone st ,” they poked fun at professors w h o p a s s iv e - a g g r e s s iv e ly encourage students to go to their dif ferent lectures and seminars. They said profess o r s fe e l t h at t h ey “ wo rk at an institution that cares more ab out c olu m n s a nd c ou nt e r -i nt u it ive p a rk i n g situations than research.”

They discussed things like PLP and CAB events as well as club fair.

F resh ma n Jorda n Bass s ay s “ I a m t o o mu c h o f a little bitch to email the secretary and tell them I don’t want to be in the club anymore,” referencing the many emai ls t hat most fresh men get a f ter t hey si g n up for multiple clubs they no longer intend on participating in.

T hei r shows contai n high levels of sass, wit and a mild amount of vulgarity, but the members’ abilities to work off of one another is pertinent to their success on stage.

The Christopher Newport University Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lacrosse Team is off to a hot start this year as they are currently 7-0 with victories over some of the top programs in the country. This hot start has propelled the team in the rankings as they are currently No. 18 in the country.

Despite losing two All-Americans last year in Goalkeeper Matt Hayden and Midfielder Randy Foster, the Captains are having their best start to a season in program history. The previous record for most wins to start the season without a loss was in 2007 when he Captains started the season 4-0.

The team is also on the verge of breaking the record for most consecutive wins in a season which is seven. A win against Virginia Wesleyan University on March 21 would break that record.

The Captains offense is led by senior midfielders Drew Magnusson and Shane Mckenna alongside senior attackman Matt Crist.

The team is also getting some great production from freshmen Dylan Rice and Jackson Deal.

Magnusson is currently third on the team in goals with 14 on the year. Crist has 20 goals and 12 assists for a team leading 32 points. Mckenna has a balanced stat line this year with ten goals and eight assists.

Rice came into the college lacrosse world firing on all cylinders as he posted five goals in his collegiate debut against Washington & Lee University.

This performance earned him a spot on the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association(USILA) Team of the Week.

T he fresh ma n phenom cu r rent ly leads the team in goals with 21 on the year and also ranks third on the team in assist with ten. Deal leads the team in assist with 14 and also has a eight goals on the year.

The offense is also getting some production from junior Lucas Barry, who currently has ten goals on the year and freshman Griffin Hanes, who has put up seven goals and two assists.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Captains are led by Drew Cornell, Will Cogan and Maxwell Wayne. Cornell has 12 ground balls and ten caused turnovers.

Wayne, a freshman, currently leads the team in caused turnovers with 13.

The first-year pole also has 11 ground balls on the year.

The defensive midfield is anchored by midfielders Jake Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell, Chris Albright and Miles Collins while also getting some production from the two long-stick midfielders Conor James and Phoenix Hines.

Arguably one of the best face-off men in the country, T o ny C r u z i s putting together one of his finest seasons yet.

Cruz is currently facing-off at a 62 percent rate and leads the team in g rou nd ba l ls wit h 51. T he senior also has one goal and one assist.

The team started off their season with a 1 2 -7 vic tor y over No. 2 0 Washing ton & Lee University du ri ng t hei r second annual Lacrosse the Nations Cup game.

The Captains avenged their 14-6 loss against the Generals from the previous year.

Later that week, the team traveled to Cha rlotte, N.C. to take on Ber r y College(GA.). The Captains squeezed out a tight win against the Vikings, 10-9.

In the second week of play, the Captains hosted Randolph-Macon College and dominated them in every aspect of the game en route to a 16-5 win.

The Captains were led by Hanes, Rice and Crist, who all registered hat tricks.

Later in the week, the Captains hosted Hampden-Sydney College.

The team dominated the first half and were leadi ng 9 - 4 at halftime. The Captains maintained t h ei r l e a d throughout the second half and came out with a 13-9 victory.

At the start of their spring bre a k, t he Captains traveled to Buena Vista, Va., to t a ke on t he Sout hern Virginia University Knights. The Captains jumped out to a 15-2 lead in the beginning of the third quarter and ended up winning the game 20-7. Crist led the team with six goals and three assists.

This performance helped the senior captain earn a spot on USILA Team of the Week, joining Rice as the only other player in program history to achieve this award.

Later in the week, the Captains hosted Elizabethtown University on a cold and windy night under the lights.

The team went down early and never

Ă&#x2030;Al oYk Y `m_] kmjhjak] lg Z] fYe]\ Y klYjl]j l`ak q]Yj&Ă&#x160; %EYpo]dd OYqf]

grabbed a lead until the fourth quarter when Crist scored a man-up goal off an assist from Deal to give the team an 8-7 victory.

The Captainsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; seventh victory was a wild one. They hosted Illinois Wesleya n Universit y, t he nu mber one scoring offense in the country.

I n a ga me fu l l of r u ns, t he Cap tains gave the Titans a taste of their own medicine and put on an of fensive clinic, winning the game 24-14.

The Captains were led by Crist and Barry, who each posted five goals on the day.

The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success is headlined by senior leadership and the outstanding play by Coach Mikey Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first recruiting class.

The freshman class has 17 players. Nine out of the 17 players have appeared in all seven of the Captainsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; games this year. Coach Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decisive recruiting skills have helped lift the program to new heights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a huge surprise to be named a starter this year. Comi ng i nto a successful program with a bunch of solid defensive returners lead me to think that I was going to have to wait a while before I got serious playing time,â&#x20AC;? says Wayne.

The Captains look to continue their outstanding play this year as they head to Virginia Beach on March 21 to take on Virginia Wesleyan University. n Phoenix Hines is a member of The Captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Log

This past Saturday, the Christopher Newport University Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tennis team defeated Virginia Wesleyan 8-1. This allowed the Captains to improve their overall record to 6-6. They changed their matchup allowing senior David Reed to take the match off.

At five and six they put rookies James Baron and Mitch Brody on the court in singles action.

Baron earned his first career double victory with little issue at number five singles, defeating Michael Portera (6-1, 6-0). Brody helped CNU sweep singles play with a 6-4, 2-6, 10-7 win over Nick Gunther at number six.

Through the rest of singles play CNU swept four straight victories. Justin Cerny earned his first win at number one with a 6-2 victory over Paul Gladstone.

Andy Mason only gave up two games in a number two win over Mitchell Perry (6-1).

In doubles action, the Captains paired senior Justin Cerny and junior William Trang together for the first time at number two doubles, and the pair secured a simple 8-1 win over Anthony Wilson and Andreas Combos.

The team also won at number one, where Mason and Baron paired up for an 8-2 win over Nick Gunther and Perry.

The sole CNU loss came at number three doubles, where the Captainsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; duo consisting of Dominic Lacombe and Nicholas Ruzicka suffered their first loss of the season.

Overall the team was extremely successful and was able to improve their record. Looking forward they turn to conference play.

The Captains will be back in action as they host Southern Virginia at 9 a.m. on March 24.

The NCA A tournament for Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College Basketball is borderline unpredictable and is always filled with upsets and outstanding games, hence the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;March Madness.â&#x20AC;?

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament has fans in a roller coaster of emotions due to the unexpected play from schools like UMBC, Buffalo University and many more.

Before the first round of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament, a number one seed has never been upset by a 16 seed in the first round.

As a matter of fact, in the last 33 years, the record for number 16 seeds against number one seeds was 0-132.

UMBC decided to rewrite history and break the College Basketball world by dom-

inating the University of Virginia, 74-54.

UVA was considered the favorite to win the tournament this year after a historic 31-2 record during the regular season and an Atlantic Coastal Conference Championship.

That is the beauty of March Madness.

Any team can sneak into the tournament and make a run.

Every year, millions of people make Brackets on ESPN.com and there has yet to be a perfect bracket.

Year after year, people are just waiting to see if someone can get that prestigious perfect bracket, but in reality, that perfect bracket will never be achieved.

There is just too much on the line for teams to back down and let the traditional programs take over.

Back in 2011, VCU made an unbelievable run in the tournament and ended becoming the third 11 seed to ever make

it to the final four.

During their run, VCU beat historic powerhouses such as Georgetown University, the University of Kansas and Florida State University.

In the final four they ended up losing to Butler University.

The crazy thing about that loss was that Butler University was an eight seed.

March Madness always seems to amaze its fans because it leaves everyone on the edge of their seats.

Obv iou s ly, t her e a r e a lways t he teams like Duke, UNC and Kentucky University that are going to perform every year at a high rate in the tournament.

But behind these powerhouse programs are a bunch of underdogs that are just waiting to shock the nation and become the next Cinderella Story in March. n

The campus radio station, WCN U, has recently begun increasing their broadcasting capabilities in the wake of a loss of prop er licensu re goi ng back to December 2016.

WC N U P r e sid e nt T o m A b e r m a n i nd ic ate d t h at t he or i g i n a l loss of broadcasting capabilities was due to a lack of pay ments for t he mai nte nance of the licenses WCNU requires s o t h at it m ay b r o a d c a s t w it hout restriction. “ We f o u n d o u t t h a t s o m e b o d y stopped paying for our licenses. We don’t k now who — we k now a rou nd when it happened—but it was about five or six years ago that it stopped.

In order to be a legal station, we have to pay for that.”

Ab er m a n f u r t her i nd ic at e d t h at t he sp e ci f ic t wo l ic en s e s WCN U requi res —A SCA P/BM I a nd Sou ndExcha nge —were emi nent ly a f fordable to WCN U. However, Ab er m a n s ays, t he pu rch a s e of t he l ic en s e s d i re c t ly by a st udent g roup wou ld have imposed a number of debilitating restrictions on the station.

“With the revenue stream that we have, we cou ld tot a l ly a f ford t hese l ic en s e s . T he pr oblem i s i f we a s a st udent g r oup b ou g ht t he S ou n d Excha nge license, we wou ld b e subjected to a lot of restrictions...we wouldn’t be able to play three songs by the same artist main a row, and we wouldn’t be able to play four songs by the same artist within a three hour period, which would just kind of ruin the entire thing.”

However, Aberman says that if the

s cho ol , not WC N U, pu r ch a s e d t he license for WCN U, the station would b e e f fe c t ive ly e xe mp t f r o m t h o s e rest rictions by way of t he school’s status as an educational institution.

“I f t he school boug ht t he Sou ndExchange license, t here is lega lese i n t he Sou nd Excha nge cont ract t h at says i f it ’s for a n educ ationa l non-prof it, t hose rest rictions don’t apply.”

A lt hough t he University was a ler ted, accordi ng to Ab er m a n, i n early September of this issue, the station still has not obtained the proper licenses. While this is the case, Aberm a n i nd ic at e d t h at t hey a r e s t i l l b r o a d c a s t i n g p r i m a r i ly i n a t a l k show format, because of the restrictions now i n place for music -based broadcasting.

“We have everything except music,

which is unfortunately 90 percent of what t he broadc asts were when we were at full power, but everyone who signed up just has this huge passion to be on the radio at all. So we have a lot of p e ople who a r e doi n g t a l k shows. It ’s b e en g r e at , ju st t o s e e the amount of people that continue to show up —t hat ’s sor t of been t he thing that keeps me going.”

Ab er ma n says t hat despite t hese c h a l l e n g e s , h e b e l i e v e s W C N U ’s incoming executive board will have t h e wh e r ew it h a l t o ove r c o m e t h e issues that have dogged the station thus far.

On Saturday, the Campus Activities Board hosted hypnotist David Hall’s Comedy Hypnosis show in the DSU Ballroom. As an amateur hypnotist, I would have felt like a hypocrite, or should I say HY PNOcrite, had I not decided to raise my hand and volunteer.

What follows is the experience of a hypnosis show from someone intimately familiar with the process:

The night began with three tests of susceptibility, an effective practice for finding the most entertaining volunteers. Hall’s tests involved reactions to imagined situations.

He h ad t he audienc e cl asp t hei r hands with separated fingers. They had to imagine their hands were magnetic and those whose fingers collided were more susceptible.

The other two tests involved weight.

With two hands out, the audience was told with their eyes closed to imagine

one hand held an invisible bowling ball with ever increasing weight and the other was tied to an ever-lightening helium balloon. Those that reacted reasonably to all three tests were the night’s stars.

From the stage, the true spectacle began. This is where what hypnotists refer to as ‘induction,’ starts. For a clear example, this is when the hypnotists in the movies wave their pocket watches and say, “you’re getting very sleepy.”

The induction Hall used is one I’ve become familiar with. It uses relaxation to pull participants closer to the trance state. My experience was not unknown to me as the sensations of calm spread to my body and my eyes saw a light brown fog. At one point however, my eyes began to flutter as we drew closer and closer to sleep. The final step was a simple countdown to full immersion.

At this point there are two reactions that I had had. One reaction is total blackout. The other which I had this time was a state of continued fog until a suggestion is given. Our first situation, a trip to the Bahamas was incredibly intense. While the changes in temperature Hall prompted did not quite feel the same as nor ma l ones, my body undeniably reacted to the world he created, shaking and shivering.

From there, many of the situations we were placed in involved opening our eyes.

While this is essential if a hypnotist wants the audience to be closer to the performance, seeing the real world in front of me broke the spell to a degree.

Whenever a suggestion was given, direct commands worked, but the world was a bit broken.

The show ended abruptly, but overall it was a thoroughly enriching experience. Other hypnotized individuals reported similar experiences.

While I recommend every individual at some point attend a hypnosis show and volunteer, there is a chance like this instance where a hypnotist will make design choices which may make the true experience short lived.

Be sure if you see a hypnotist, that they are focused on you and not the audience laughs alone.n

Why Are You Reading this in English? <j& 9dYklYaj Fan]fÌk d][lmj] gf EYj[` )1 afkhaj]\ klm\]flk lg im]klagf l`] \geafYf[] g^ l`] =f_dak` dYf_mY_]&

BY MORGAN BARCLAY MORGAN.BARCLAY.15@CNU.EDU

Why are you reading this paper in English? While there are many gut reaction answers to this question, Dr. Alastair Niven sought to uncover a deeper answer to these questions in his lecture, “The State of English Language Literature in the 21st Century.”

An extrapolation of his work as an author, literary scholar, critic and fellow at Harris Manchester College Oxford, Niven’s lecture focused on the continuing dominance of the English language around the world.

Sponsored by the Trible Library College of Social Sciences, The College of the Arts and Humanities, The Honors Program, and the Department of English, this lecture occurred on Monday, March 19 in the Gaines Theater.

This lecture worked as an extension of the continuing relationship between Christopher Newport University and Harris Manchester College.

Niven began his lecture by relaying his relationship to Christopher Newport through the summer study abroad program at Oxford, stating that the Christopher Newport students he encountered were “outstanding in ability and charm.”

Using this relationship in the context of his visit, Niven dove into the meat of the lecture.

“Did any of you ask to borrow a rubber…?” inquired Niven after asking how many of the audience had been to the United Kingdom. He humorously used this as a classic example of the differences in the English language between the Britain and the United States. Even though they are technically the same language, there many differences among them. Niven referred to English around the world as a “multitude of Englishes.”

This adaptability and potential for change within the English language fascinated Niven, as he studied literature, specifically in the post-colonial era. Intrigued by the use of English by colonized writers, he looked specifically at the history of the English language within India.

Niven read excerpts from colonial writers of the time while maintaining an air of distance from them.

He referred to one particular source, Lord Macaulay’s Minute on Education, as having a “condescending tone of colonial arrogance.” He enlightened his audience on how less than 250,000 Indian people out of their 1.237 billion population consider English as their native tongue, but continue to use it as the language of secondary education and government within the nation.

Enforced during the time of British coloni zation for its assumed supremacy over the native languages, English continued throughout that time into p r e s e nt d ay, where it is used de spite lo c a l outrage.

While it would have been easy to settle into the idea of English’s continuing supremacy due to the past colonization of the era, Niven dug deeper into the idea, looking specifically at colonized writers who wrote in both English and in their native tongue.

Looking at Ngugi wa Thiong’o, a Kenyan writer, Niven discovered the contrasting reactions to the same work published in English versus his native tongue, Gikuyu.

This led Thiong’o to question about his placement within the community, asking, as quoted by Niven, “for whom does the African writer write…?”

Although this is not a question that Niven expects Thiong’o to answer, he revealed tension through this choice of language in his story. In answering this question, Niven looked to American writer, James Baldwin.

Looking specifically at Baldwin’s use of

his dialect of Harlem-English within his works, Niven found the answer. English, he concluded, through its ability to form these dialects to adapt to certain communities, and communicate these differences of community, allows the colonized writer to express both parts of their own native cultures while maintaining a level of communicability within the greater world.

To solidify this point Niven ended his piece by asking the audience to compa re two di f ferent phrases, “I thought it was a nice day,” and “My i n side s told me it was a n i c e d a y.”

A n ex a mple from a Chinua A c h e b e novel, Niven expresses the power of English to commu n ic ate a wide range of cultures and localities. A small difference in a phrase like this allows for a completely different culture to shine through the words, in a way that, Niven, suggests other languages cannot create.

“English is a language of infinite capacity and energy [that] grows, accumulates, acquires, takes root in other places in the world.” This power of English is what has allowed for its continued dominance around the world.

After concluding the speech he fielded several questions from the audience before the lecture was over. There were a number of different student reactions to the lecture.

The daughter of a diplomat in Germany, freshman and writer for The Captain’s Log Kristen Ziccarelli, came to the lecture with her own specific background.

As an American citizen who spent part of her childhood in Germany she has a

“English is a language of infinite capacity and energy.”

-Dr. Allistair Niven

substantial background in both English and German languages.

Drawing on her background, she drew parallels between the English language and the German language.

“All three German-speaking countries in Europe have different cultural idiosyncrasies, and even different parts of Germany have completely different accents, mannerisms and ways of speaking… but the fascinating thing is that they’re technically speaking the same language,” Ziccarelli says.

Although German does not have the same array of differences in dialect that English does, Ziccarelli was able to see the direct implications of Niven’s ideas in practice.

That said, Ziccarelli wished there would have been a more impassioned push for writers to write within their own dialects: “I think he could have inspired writers to write in their own style, as he used the example of Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe and how determined he was to write in his own style and make his own legacy in the face of other ‘monolith’ writers.”

Sophomore Matthew Scherger expressed similar sentiments. As an assistant editor of The Captain’s Log, he describes how he always tries to find the balance between honoring someone’s voice and maintaining a level of professionalism and communicability within the paper.

Although Niven did not give specific answers, Scherger says that he enjoyed the discussion of the topic, and will be reflecting upon these balance even more, given the importance of these choices as emphasized by Niven.

Both students commented upon the struggles of utilizing the power of the English language as described by Niven, but are excited by the prospect and different perspective of using the English language as a way to maintain diversity within cultures.

Delving into the complex reason as to why you are reading this in English, Niven’s speech inspired many Christopher Newport students that attended, and answered the question, “why am I reading this in English?” n

PER IOD. is an inter nationa l non-prof it organization with chapters across the world, one of which has been established at CN U this year.

The g roup is leading what they ca l l the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Menstr ua l Movementâ&#x20AC;? through ser vice, education and advocacy.

They col lect and provide hygiene products such as pads and tampons to those in need, destroy the idea of menstruation as a taboo topic and speak out about public issues and controversies including the tampon ta x.

CN Uâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chapter of PER IOD. has on ly been around since the beginning of the semester, but has a l ready beg un to accomplish a l l of these objectives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;CN U students have a track record of helping the New por t News community and solving problems we see direct ly

in our own community. We wanted to be par t of that [with PER IOD.] ,â&#x20AC;? says Ash ley McHenr y, the president of CN Uâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chapter of PER IOD. A fter reading an ar ticle about the organization over winter break, she decided that it needed to have a presence at the university.

One of PER IOD.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main objectives is to col lect hygiene products and distribute them to those who need them, whether that is to the homeless downtown or students on a col lege campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The campus on ly has one pad /tampon dispenser on campus at the top f loor of the DSU. Menstr uators at CN U deser ve more than that,â&#x20AC;? says McHenry.

PER IOD. at CN U recent ly completed a pad /tampon drive col lected through tabling in the DSU and boxes in residence ha l ls, but they are a lways accepting donations.

The club is hosting an educationa l event on Thursday, Apri l 12 at 7 p.m. in McMurran 101, of fering free pizza to those who show up.

Through ser vice, advocacy and education, PER IOD. continua l ly works toward their mission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think, especia l ly in these tumu ltuous times, we rea l ly want to help and work toward a goa l, but we are not entirely sure what that goa l cou ld be.

I think PER IOD. has been a rea l ly g reat str uctured plat for m for us to actua l ly get some work done,â&#x20AC;? says McHenry.

I f you want to get involved with PER IOD. at CN U, contact ash ley.mchenry.16 @ cnu.edu to donate hygiene products, lear n about upcoming events, be added to the emai l list, and /or become a member.

The club hopes to gain members and g row in order to help nor ma lize the conversation around menstruation.n
