Journalist pair, Steven and Cokie Roberts, to speak at the 181st Commencement Ceremony
National It has been reported that another N.F.L. star was posthumously diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)- a disease of the brain which can impair cognition and movement. Ken Stabler was discovered to have the disease after Boston University researchers examined his body. They diagnosed him with Stage 3 CTE, which is fairly severe. Stabler had participated in a class-action lawsuit against the N.F.L. and is over the 100th former player to be diagnosed with the disease. His famly members, especially his daughter, are particularly upset with the diagnosis and its implications. Boston University has uncovered CTE in 90 of the 94 former football players it has examined.

Fair offers students an opportunity for inolvement on-campus and in the community
This week’s “Top Stories” were compiled by Kayla Britt with information from CNN (www.cnn.com) and Project Syndicate (www. project-syndicate.org)
On Friday, Jan. 29, a variety of clubs came together in the CUB ballroom to recruit new members at the Spring Activities Fair. Jeffrey Lauck ‘18, President of Democracy Matters called the fair “great opportunity for both student and clubs, as it offers students a quick look at organizations they may want to join and serves as the primary recruiting tool f o r clu b s to b r in g in n ew members.” With nearly every campus group finding their spot along the perimeter, transfer students, those who were abroad last semester and even just people looking to expand their horizons chatted with representatives from groups like Fencing Club, Live Poets Society and Slavic Club. Gettysburg is home to a wide variety of clubs and organizations, ranging from academic, such as honor societies, cultural, like the Black Student Union and Slavic club, to political, such as the Democracy Matters club and arts and music organizations such as Drop the Octave and Dance Ensemble. Unlike the Fall equiva-
Inside This Issue
Drone footage of the city of Homs has revealed extreme devestation attributed to the Syrian civil war. The footage was shot by a Russian television station. Many buildings in Homs are essentially wreckage and the town is mostly deserted. The war began approximately five years ago. Homs contains Syria’s biggest oil refinery, which is a major fighting point for the government. Although there was an official “cease fire” declared by the U.N. in 2014, the fighting and devestation continues. Last month, over 100 people were wounded due to city bombings. A “60 Minutes” correspondent has compared the devestation to World War II.

lege graduate, was active in student politics and often presented in public forum, which led her to a successful career involving public speaking and debating (it is also how she met Steve). She acquired her first job in television through connection with an alumna who she worked with for a year and who then put her on air anchoring a program. Both had influential mentors during their college years who helped them build up to highly successful careers, certainly a useful piece of information for college students seeking to prosper! Another useful piece of wisdom the Roberts’ had to share was their advice for young voters in the upcoming presidential election. As political commentators and analysts, both agree that the character and temperament of any candidate is important - perhaps more important than any positions on policies or issues. Steve encourages young voters to vote for someone who can handle challenges with careful, reasoned judgment and Cokie encourages young voters to organize around issues they are impacted by, such as college affordability or student debt.

lent and those before, however, many groups found that attendance was less than they had expected. “For the last two club fairs we were able to get at least 30-40 people to sign up but this time we got less than 10,” said Lauck. “While there was a relatively low turnout, I feel like that’s to be expected for the spring activities fair since most people have a set schedule by the second semester,” said Nicole Cvjetnicanin ‘18. “Her Campus Gettysburg College had a fairly good turnout. A few people signed up for our alias and also entered their names for our prize pack drawing!” Though there may not have been a huge crowd, the Activities Fair was nonetheless a success, with students finding new clubs and activities to join. With such a wide variety of organizations and clubs here at Gettysburg College, most students find at least one they feel comfortable joining. Miss the Fair but still want to join an organization?

Introducing the speakers at the 181st Commencement
Steve and Cokie Roberts are renowned professionals who highlight the importance of interpersonal connections
~Continued from front page~ While the Roberts agree that personal accomplishments rank far above professional accomplishments, Steve names writing pieces that readers find “illuminating and even inspiring” his proudest professional accomplishment. Cokie names her body of work in shedding light on the stories of “the other half of the human race” through her books on women in history as her proudest professional accomplishment. She also imparts this advice on women who want to have both a family and a successful career, something
that still proves difficult for women even today: “Don’t overthink it. Just go for it and figure it out as you go along . . . if you keep your priorities straight and realize that your family trumps the job, you’ll be fine. You might be exhausted for a few years, but you’ll survive.” Both agree that their long and happy marriage, two children and six grandchildren are their proudest accomplishments of all. Steve says he enjoys driving his grandchildren to school in the mornings and coaching first base for their youngest grandchild’s Little League baseball team. He also says that the
most important decision you will ever make in life is who you marry. “Fortunately I got that one exactly right,” he adds. In their free time, Steve and Cokie enjoy their tradition of having long Saturday lunches together and spending as much time as possible with their grandchildren. However, Cokie says it is not often that she finds herself with free time. “There’s always a writing project on my plate, even when I’m not in the depths of writing a book. A friend will want a blurb for a book jacket or a college newspaper will want answers to questions.”

Senior Mikaela Puth takes on the music industry
Puth to work as road manager for her brother, who sang the opening of Wiz Khalifa’s song “See You Again” C ourtsey of GCC&M For some students, finishing a college degree can be challenging enough on its own. Mikaela Puth ’16 is not only finishing her degree, but she is also moving across the country, starting a full-time job and helping her chart-topping recording artist brother Charlie Puth launch his debut album – Nine Track Mind – all at the same time. “It is a very fast-paced lifestyle, but having a family member there really slows things down. It helps you appreciate what you are going through,” Puth said. “It helps us celebrate each of these milestones in a meaningful way.” Puth will have a dual role with her brother’s management team – working as an office assistant with Atom Factory, Inc., when they are in L.A. and as a road manager with Chazmanian Devil Touring, Inc., when her brother is performing on the road. Both companies are responsible for different aspects of her brother’s career. Through each of these roles, she is responsible for managing the day-to-day business of her brother’s rising stardom, which includes everything from organizing his schedule to overseeing his finances. “This is a lot of responsibility for many dif-
ferent reasons, but I feel prepared to take it on,” Puth said. “Gettysburg really sets you up to thrive in a diligent work environment, so I know I’ll be able to handle it.” The sociology major chose Gettysburg for a variety of reasons, like the small class sizes, emphasis on effective communication, mentorship from professors and, of course, the proximity to her family’s home in New Jersey. However, it was a class she took for fun that has had the greatest impact on her time here. “Sociology 101 with Sandra Gill was life changing,” Puth recalled. While she had originally planned on studying health sciences, it was that class that convinced her to declare a major in sociology. “I’ve taken several of her classes since and stop by her office pretty frequently. She’s really been a great mentor and role model for me.” Not only did Prof. Gill prove an invaluable mentor for Puth, but Gill also enjoyed the opportunity to teach her. “During her years at Gettysburg, I watched her develop strong leadership skills and become an unusually articulate person,” Gill said.
In Gill’s class, students learn a variety of skills like project management, group work, effective listening and communication and inclusive analysis – skills that Gill believes will guide Puth’s work on her brother’s management team. “Mikaela listens closely, synthesizes ideas and articulates her voice clearly,” Gill continued. “Like many other Gettysburg students, Mikaela has the skills she needs to lead and manage.” Puth’s close relationship with Gill – and the practical skills learned from each of her classes – was not uncommon. “Overall, the professors here really take the time to get to know you, which enables the courses to have more of an impact,” Puth stated. “The writing component in each course, for example, is outstanding. You don’t realize just how important writing is until you take some of the courses here. Applying that knowledge to my professional goals has definitely given me an edge.” All of these opportunities helped her prepare for a marketing internship last summer with her brother’s management team, which lead to an offer of full-time employment shortly thereafter.

Weird News of the Week By Kayla Britt News Editor
Feels So Good Being Bad? Micheal Emrick of Baden, Pennsylvania was arrested on Feb. 2 while wearing a T-shirt with a message that was rather fitting- “Really good at making bad decisions.” Clearly he has no self esteem issues. Officers first attempted to stop Emrick due to suspected theft, but he refused to leave his vehicle. Emrick then proceeded to speed away from the officers and threw drug paraphernalia out of the windows. He has been arrested for various felonies, including aggravated assault, criminal mischief and reckless endangerment. Very bad, indeed. “Bikini Granny” Strikes Again After a video of her failing a field sobriety test in a bikini back in April went viral, Patricial Ebel of Naples was ordered not to drink for a year. The probation officials believe now that she broke those orders. She was arrested on Jan. 5 when her BAC was .177, according to the New York Daily News. She appeared in court on Jan. 19- bikini-less, no less.

Let’s talk about poetry: “Bitter, Twisted Lies:” Academic Erasure
WZBT: Gettysburg College’s Very Own Radio Station
Discussing academic erasure and black writers B y E mily P ierce C ontributing W riter Ah, erasure the tool of choice for effortlessly contributing to one’s own ignorance. As a society, we hasten to put someone on a pedestal when they have done something we, the public, deem worthy of praise. But people are not statues; to cast marble over important aspects of an identity preserves an erroneous depiction of the connected individual. With this in mind, it is absolutely horrifying to note how often this happens to writers. After all, many authors and poets create works based on their own experiences. One would think, then, that it would be impossible to blur out the facets of an author’s identity that contribute to their individual voice, but it happens all the time. And, from my layman’s perspective, the victims are frequently authors of color. I do not have the authority to point fingers, but if I had to guess, I’d say the blame for this atrocity lies with the patriarchal (and v ery white) system of academia. Although conditions appear to have improved between high school and college, the system is clearly still fractured. By no means am I saying that white authors never experience erasure.
The voices of the disabled, LGBTQA+ individuals and those who practice minority religions deserve a great deal of amplification. However, in a world where “white” is still somehow seen as interchangeable with “default,” a white author’s otherization holds less potential negative impact on their perception. When we neglect to even touch upon how Lorraine Hansberry identified as a lesbian or how Maya Angelou was once a sex worker, we happily accept being fed the idea that hiding these facts somehow makes these writers and their work easier to swallow. Screw that. Do not water down black authors in order to make them fit into your classroom more easily. Right now, I am studying about Langston Hughes and his life in the same amount of detail usually awarded to someone like Henry David Thoreau. This is good, but far from enough. Academia needs to progress to the point where it is normal to actively acknowledge every facet of an author’s identity when we discuss their work. Talk about Audre Lorde’s identity as “black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet.” Celebrate it. I want to add that I am a white woman and recognize that I am by no means even close to being an expert on the topic of erasure as it applies to black authors. I do not write with the intent of speaking over
voices that need to be heard at a much higher volume than they are in society. My goal in constructing this article was to highlight injustice, and I hope I have done so in an appropriate fashion. To conclude, I would like to leave you with the first few stanzas from the aforementioned Maya Angelou’s dynamic poem, “Still I Rise.” As Black History Month continues, I urge you, reader, to research the black authors you read in class or whose work captures your heart. Subvert the accepted behaviors of willful ignorance and make it a point to diversify your own education. “You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I’ll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? ‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I’ll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops, Weakened by my soulful cries?“

Movie review: shining a light on “Spotlight” New film starring Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams examines journalism and Catholic Church controversy B y K ira G oodwin S taff W riter
The new movie “Spotlight,” showcases a recent horror in American history: Catholic priests molesting children. However, instead of focusing on the tragedy itself, the movie centers upon the Spotlight team of the Boston Globe. This team of newspaper reporters spends months researching to produce a story, and in this film they are given the task of looking into reports of one Catholic priest molesting children. As the reporters dig deeper and deeper though, evidence surfaces that leads them to believe there could be as many as thirteen Catholic Priests who have done this. And still as they go further they gain reason to believe that there could be ninety in Boston alone, but the issue stems across the country. On top of that they soon discovered that the Catholic Church, because of the authority it had, was able to abuse said power to make it appear that these molestings never happened. They were able to make documents inaccessible and because of the money
and position they held they were able to pay people to keep quiet. The Spotlight team is forced to make connections, talk to everyone they can and do whatever possible to unseal the necessary documents to write the story that will expose the Church to the country. This story of the Spotlight team is a true account of how the story was brought to the public. The characters in the movie: Mike Rezendes, Robby Robinson, Sacha Pfeiffer, and the other members of the Boston Globe team are the actual people who fought to get the story to the public. On top of that, the story that they eventually publish, along with the documents and letters they attach that reveal the crimes and the Church’s cover-up, were indeed made accessible for the public to see for themselves. By choosing to highlight the people who fought for the truth rather than the crime itself, the movie sought to highlight the good, while not overlooking the bad, and making it a central, opposing force. However, the team
~Please our www.thegettysburgian.wordpress.com website www.thegettysburgian.com and post your comments!~ ~Visit our visit website and post your comments!~
is not perfect. It is brought up that two different people sent information regarding the molestations to the Globe years prior yet nobody did anything about it. Instead, the stories were buried in sections of the paper nobody reads. Thus the characters face their own moral conflicts in both their affiliations with the Church and not having done something sooner. And the movie becomes about not just sharing the truth with the public but doing the story the right way. It is these turmoils, and the sort of scavenger hunt the characters are on that keep the movie engaging, but it is also the tragic content. Because while what the reporters are doing is important, the movie is essentially about people letting this happen. The people give the power to the Catholic Church, but people are afraid of them. Thus even though plenty of people knew the truth, no one dared to share it. Overall Spotlight is definitely a movie that is worth your time. If not for the power of the movie, then at least for the historical context that surrounds it.

Dieting in college without How to beat the snack attack counting calories Part 3: Drinking B y M eredith C ox H ealth & W ellness C olumnist
Photo courtesy of Edwin Land
By Ari Snaevarsson Features Editor
Now that we have gone over the actual set-up of this method of dieting, we can begin to discuss some of the other important aspects. What follows is a guide Daniel, owner of VnFit Training and Nutrition Coaching, and I have come up with to help you appropriately fit drinking into your college dieting experience.
fat?
Does drinking make you
I often hear people say they would be much better about their diet if it were not for their counterproductive weekend antics, namely drinking. The underlying assumption is of course that alcohol consumption makes you fat or, at the very least, thwarts your dieting efforts. Is there any truth to this? Well, to some degree, but as with all things that does not mean it has no place in an efficient diet. Let us briefly examine some of alcohol’s effects on dieting and then go over how to go about including it appropriately, while still enjoying yourself. Some of the more obvious reasons alcohol may inhibit fat loss: -Alcoholic beverages tend to be low in nutritional value (limited micronutrient profiles). -There are seven calories per gram of alcohol (contrasted to the four calories per gram of carbohydrate and protein and nine per gram of fat). -Drinking lowers inhibitions, making it harder to practice self-control. -Drinking tends to increase appetite. -Other ingredients in our drinks add calories (like sugary lemonade mixes and the sugars naturally found in beer and wine). Some of the less intuitive reasons: -Alcohol can threaten the
integrity of major body organs associated with digesting, absorbing, and processing nutrients (not to mention helping you not die). -Alcohol’s byproduct, acetate, is quite literally a poison, so our bodies prioritize getting it out of our system over mobilizing and oxidizing fat. -This also means we prioritize alcohol metabolism over building and repairing muscle, along with any other metabolic process involved in fat loss. -In short, you would be quite correct in referring to alcohol as having “empty calories,” an often misguided term. By now, it appears that drinking is pretty counterproductive to dieting. But this is not always the case; keep in mind our overarching theme of flexibility. Telling someone interested in losing some weight they can no longer drink, or must limit their drinking to some absurdly small number, is a losing battle I am not interesting in fighting.
So how do we incorporate drinking into our dieting efforts?
To answer this, I will go over six tips and tricks worth implementing so that we can go about dieting without viewing something so prominent in campus life through an all-or-nothing lens. These will be listed in order of greatest to least importance. 1. Limit drinking to the weekends As common of a phenomenon as Thursday drinking might be on college campuses across the country, it is going to be increasingly difficult to lose fat when all of those negative effects of drinking we discussed are happening three times a week. 2. Eat light on days you drink Sticking to mainly lean proteins and veggies is a great way of keeping caloric intake
down to offset the increase in calories that drinking brings. This is not always feasible, considering the prevalence of eating out on the weekends, but simply employing some mindfulness about what goes into your body on these days will go a long way. 3. Pick your poison All alcoholic beverages were not created equal. Sticking with mixed drinks, using diet sodas or other calorie-free beverages, is going to be your best bet. Not only will you derive the obvious benefits in regard to our earlier discussion, but you will effectively combat hangover symptoms and space out your drinks more. If you are going to be drinking beer or wine, do not drink them in the quantities you would with the former option. 4. Avoid lifting the day after you drink Remember that alcohol metabolism is a priority to your body, and so things like muscle protein synthesis and recovery get pushed to the backburner. Alcohol may even actively work against those processes, through its effects on testosterone and the like. If at all possible, avoid lifting on the day you drink as well. 5. Hydrate If this list were more concerned with health than body composition, this would be listed much higher. Regardless, enough cannot be said about the importance of staying hydrated when drinking. This, again, mitigates the severity of hangover symptoms (by counteracting alcohol’s diuretic properties) and all the other negative effects discussed earlier. With these simple tips and tricks, fitting drinking into your diet really should not be too difficult. In the next article, we will start off our discussion on the role of mentality in dieting, an aspect the importance of which I believe is monumental.
Students of Gettysburg
Hunter Markle, ‘18 Biology major B y D aniella S nyder S taff W riter “One experience at Gettysburg College that I am really enjoying is being an RA. I have learned so much about myself and about the forty first-years on my floor, and have developed numerous connections and friendships along the way. This experience is giving me the feeling that I am making an impact on campus, and I’m having a lot of fun along the way! Shoutout to Hanson 3!” -Hunter Markle, Class of 2018, Biology Major
It is midnight, you have been studying in the library all day, and all of a sudden it hits you – a wave of hunger that leaves you feeling famished and ravenous. You immediately bolt for the vending machine, only to be calmed by the sight of pretzels, chips, and candy bars. Does this sound familiar? In college we are surrounded by innumerable food options, making it easy to slip into harmful and unhealthy eating habits that can stick with you well into adulthood. With a few simple practices in mind, you can satisfy your hunger while maintaining a healthy diet and body. Set yourself up for success. The easiest way to make sure you are fueling your body with healthy foods is to make them easily accessible. Stock your fridge with fruits and veggies that have a long shelf life. These include apples, oranges, and carrots, all of which are also easily transportable. Try and load up on in season produce so you can get the most bang for your buck and the most flavorful snacks. For the winter, stick to pears, clementines, grapefruit, kiwi, kale, squash, and sweet potatoes. Also, have a lot of snacks you can grab on the go, like nuts, raisins, yogurt, pretzel thins, and hummus.
Pick and Choose. There is nothing wrong with being a “picky” eater, in the sense that you are aware and selective about what goes into your body. When the healthy options are there, choose them. Do not feel pressured by others who make unhealthy choices. Pick the best option for you, and learn to know what foods make you feel the best, most satiated, and highly energized. If you are out to eat at a restaurant, choose the side salad over the side of fries to go with your burger. Simple swaps like this can really add up and leave you feeling lighter and healthier. Exercise. Not only does exercise leave you feeling better and full of energy (thank your endorphins), but it also helps curb cravings. Studies have shown that exercising can aid in stabilizing your blood glucose levels. When these levels spike or dip, it can leave you running towards the vending machine. However, moderate exercise, such as 30 minutes of cardio five times a week, can help regulate two hormones, ghrelin and leptin, to help keep your blood sugar steady, resulting in fewer cravings and ultimately less impulsive eating habits. Sleep. Not getting enough sleep can lead to bad snacking habits as well. Less sleep is usually associated with more stress,
and often when we are stressed, we do not make the best food choices. That is why during finals week we find ourselves eating high-fat foods like fries, pizza, and cookies. Adequate sleep also helps maintain the hunger hormones I mentioned before. Ghrelin stimulates hunger and leptin signals satiety to the brain, ultimately suppressing appetite. Less sleep is associated with decreases in leptin and elevations in ghrelin, meaning you are hungrier and less satiated. Try to get between seven and nine hours a night to stay well rested. Indulge! Your eating habits do not have to be all or nothing. Treat yourself a few times a week, whether it is a Servo cookie at lunch, a scoop of ice cream after dinner, or even a late night stop at Mid Mad. But remember that these indulgences should be in moderation in order to make them feel like a real treat. A good rule of thumb to follow is the 80/20 rule: eat a healthy diet 80 percent of the time, and use the other 20 percent for special occasions and treats. So, with a little bit of willpower and some planning, you can maintain a healthy snacking lifestyle and still enjoy those late night munchies without worrying too much about unfavorable health effects.
Valuable experience available at Musselman Library B y M eggan S mith M usselman L ibrary C olumnist
Gettysburg College is known for encouraging students to gain practical experience both inside and outside of the classroom. Whether it is serving in a leadership role, going on a CPS Immersion trip, or participating in an externship, most students would agree that these types of experiences are impactful and life-changing. Musselman Library also strives to provide powerful learning experiences for both current students and recent graduates alike. The examples are many, but two timely ones include the Barbara Holley Library Internship and the newly developed Digital Scholarship Summer Fellowship. The Barbara Holley Internship, named for alumnae Barbara Holley (’54), is a library position for a recent graduate who is considering entering graduate school for information science, librarianship, or archives and records management, but has not yet done so. The position introduces the intern to various aspects of working in a library, thus helping him or her decide on a career path while gaining valuable work experience. Here is what current intern, Alexa Schreier, has to say about her year (so far) as the Holley Intern. What have you liked most about being the Holley Intern? Alexa: What makes the Holley internship so unique is the opportunity to work in each department of the library.
This means that over the past months I’ve been able to work on projects ranging from repairing a book from 1828, to creating a local search term pulling together nature writing books in the library’s catalog, to hosting the library’s Finals Study Break. What has the Holley Internship done for your professional development? Alexa: Beyond working for each department, the internship position has allowed me to sit on multiple committees such as marketing and copyright, which have contributed to my developing professional skills and preparedness to enter the workforce. As the Holley Intern, I have not only had the opportunity to learn and understand the responsibilities and work flow of each department within the library, but have been able to witness how deeply interwoven each department is. What has been the biggest highlight of your internship? Alexa: One of the neatest things I got to work on as the Holley Intern was designing and creating a memory scrapbook for each future intern to write about their experience in one centralized location. This has been such a great opportunity for two reasons. First, getting to make a book from scratch was an incredible experience which included choosing material for the covers and marbled papers for the inside, making a gold-tooled leather label, and learning how to make a Turks head knot for the closure. But beyond the physical process, it is immensely gratifying knowing that I have
played a role in creating a lasting artifact of the internship that will pass through each future intern’s hands.

The Digital Scholarship Summer Fellowship is a new initiative that is being launched this summer as a result of the desire of Musselman Library, Educational Technology, and the Provost’s Office to find new ways to support the digital scholarship activities of students. This inaugural year will provide openings for three current students to serve as fellows. Fellows will use digital tools to interpret, analyze and present original research. “This is more than just writing a paper and putting it on the internet,” noted R.C. Miessler, Systems Librarian. “The digital fellows will each create a project that will be an interactive, ever-evolving presentation. They will use a variety of tools, such as blogging, mapping, multi-media editing and other technology which will provide valuable experience.” The fellowship includes a $3,500 stipend and on-campus housing for the duration of the fellowship.

CAB’s Tropics party offers all the staples of beach fun B y K endall W right S taff W riter
It may have been below freezing outside, but it was balmy at Saturday’s Tropics party, held in the Attic courtesy of CAB. Visitors were greeted by a jovial pirate who was happy to pose for photos.
They were then treated to a banquet of fruit, Hawaiian meatballs, sorbet, and piña colada smoothies, complete with miniature paper umbrellas. There were also drinks of the alcoholic variety for those over 21. The Attic was transformed into a tropic paradise, complete with minia-
ture boats, treasure chests, and the time-honored staple of all tropical parties, leis. The music was more reminiscent of a club than a tropical beach, but was upbeat nonetheless (Who doesn’t love Mambo No. 5?). All in all it was a fun way to pass a frigid January night!

Note: The opinions published in this section are those of the individual writers and are in no way representative of the views of The Gettysburgian staff, The Gettysburgian or Gettysburg College. After the Iowa Caucus: What Now? By Isabel Gibson Penrose Opinions Editor
Bernie Sanders Will keep riding the wave of Bernie bros and enthusiastic youths to victory in New Hampshire, which will undoubtedly serve to make his supporters even more annoying on social media. #WeGetIt #YouFeelTheBern Hillary Clinton Her slim victory (she won by 0.3 percent, or four “state delegate equivalents”) over Sanders is a hollow victory as Clinton is undoubtedly going to lose in New Hampshire. Sanders is ahead by an average of 18 points in the polls and has the home field advantage. Maybe if Clinton can get the youth-pandering section of her campaign to relax (no more Vines, please!) she’ll get more millennial voters on her side. Martin O’Malley After an abysmal showing, O’Malley has officially dropped out of the race. He may not have the a shot at the presidency, but he could be a contender for vice president, or at least for the title of “Handsomest Former Presidential Candidate.” Ted Cruz Thanks to his creepy “Voter Violation” mailers (which listed the voting “score” of the recipient as well as the scores of their neighbors), attempts to imply Dr. Ben Carson is dropping out of the race, obnoxious voice, terrifying policies, and generally punchable face, Cruz placed first in the caucus. Look for him to continue these and other gross, underhanded and apparently effective tactics in the coming months. Donald Trump Deflating like a hideous hot air balloon, Trump’s brand of winning has been damaged – could this be the end of America’s favorite blatantly racist demagogue? Probably not, since he’s already accused Cruz of stealing Iowa from him and been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Yep, the actual Nobel Peace Prize! Not the Nobel Piece of Crap Prize, as I had initially assumed. Marco Rubio Has been pushed to the front of the competition for being the Republican Party’s establishment candidate. Now he just needs to try and avoid swinging too far to the right during the rest of primary season only to swing back to the center after getting the nomination – that’s called Romney-ing and it doesn’t end well. Chris Christie Will continue his nightly ritual of attempting to travel back in time to 2012 where he actually had a chance. Jim Gilmore Who?
Alpha Tau Omega: Moving forward B y T he B rothers of A lpha T au O mega A lpha U psilon C hapter Our organization made an insensitive mistake. There is no other way to define it and we will not try to persuade your mind otherwise by this article. A September party mixer theme allowed for members of our organization to act out of character and not in congruence of Alpha Tau Omega’s core competencies of scholarship, community, brotherhood and leadership. Our myopia towards our own actions not only augmented the bifurcation of campus, but also left us with a feeling of disgrace within our own chapter. In the aftermath of our bias incident, we worked with the Office of Greek Life and College Life to not only help us recognize our mistake but to help our chapter rebuild. Members of our organization leveraged many of Gettysburg College’s resources to first educate ourselves as to what a bias incident can be and more specifically, how Alpha Tau Omega can be a part of one. Our education was tested, but also guided and opened up in our discussions with student groups on campus such as the Black Student Union, Latin

Bias incidents break down our community at Gettysburg College and exclude rather than include others. Threats to our community create disequilibrium and leave others feeling inequitable in a space where everyone can add and create value. Dr. Scott Hancock stated at the Town Hall that we have a responsibility to take action in matters of social injustice. We, Alpha Tau Omega, have a responsibility because as one of the largest organizations at Gettysburg College, our action’s ripple effects can be felt in most, if not all, pockets of campus.

Offering an alternative perspective to anti-immigration individuals B y A ngelo D’A mato C ontributing W riter Scene: A waiter is conversing with another waiter in a Paris Café when he sees a group of men sit down at a table. Waiter: “Excusez-moi, un moment.” As he’s walking over to the table, he hears the men speaking. James: “This is a nice place.” George: “You think they’ve got burgers here?” Al: “Nah, this is Paris. Salads all the way.” George: “No! I was in a restaurant the other day and they had burgers!” Al: “Good for them.” The waiter mutters to himself. Waiter: “Ah. Les Amèricains.” He clears his throat: Waiter: “Gentlemen, uh, how are you doing today?” George: “Good, sir.”
Al: “Just fine. I’ll have this here sirloin steak.” Waiter: “…sirloin steak…” James: “Erm, le spaghetti, s’il vous plait.” George: “Un burger?” Waiter: “We…uhh… do not serve burgers here, monsieur.” George: “Damn. Worth a shot. All right. How about a fried tuna?” Waiter: “…fried thon…” The waiter closes his notepad. Waiter: “Gentlemen, we will have your order ready shortly.” The waiter leaves. I would like you to take note that the waiter in this scenario was able to switch into English. I studied abroad in Paris last semester, and every time I heard a waiter speak English in a café, my heart broke a little. I’m being serious. It
was genuinely upsetting to see that. The waiter in this scenario is based off the waiters that I saw. He goes home every night, heavy at heart, because part of his job requires him to use a language that historical circumstances have imposed upon him. This waiter is annoyed because he HAS to surrender his culture to a larger one in order to survive. I’m imagining that this is similar to what you go through when you hear people speaking Spanish, or when you see ‘dem Mexicans’ in restaurants, or when you hear that school districts are mandating that students learn Spanish as a second language. You perceive other cultures as threats to American culture somehow and that you are afraid of losing what you know and love. I’m also imagining that like the waiter, you are bit-
ter because you feel like this country is being forced to do something that it really shouldn’t have to do. I can imagine why— perhaps you have been told countless times that America is the greatest country, and you’ll be damned to see it fall into the hands of another culture. Perhaps you have never learned how to see yourself in another person. Perhaps you are so used to being stepped around and kicked on that you will take out your rage on the nearest minority population. I don’t know if you’re afraid of admitting that you’re angry about the loss of American culture, I don’t know if you’re ashamed to be angry, I don’t know if you think you’re stupid for having ‘conservative views’. I do know that whatever you’re thinking and feeling is okay. Engage it. Wrestle with it. Find out what you
think and feel and why. I am not saying this so that you can lazily justify your beliefs, but rather so that you can feel less conflicted, and less ashamed, and maybe less defensive, about having them. You have to tell your stories for yourself. You have to insert yourself into the political conversation, and you have to think critically about why you believe what you believe. You have to do this without using impersonal, inflammatory rhetoric. Doing so allows you to be open to new ideas. It might be scary and you might learn things about yourself you don’t necessarily like. That’s okay. It’s part of learning about who we are. So know that it might not be easy, and go and do it, and then, speak up, because your story is welcome in the conversation.
Paying for on-campus laundry machines: A dirty scam B y D ean D e L ucia S taff W riter Do you ever wonder why our school makes us pay for our laundry? Because I definitely do. After talking with many of my friends from other schools, I have noticed that Gettysburg College requires their students to pay the most money for laundry. There are many expenses that need to be paid when attending college, but paying for laundry should not be one of them. There are two ways to look at paying for our laundry. One can look at it as another way to manage money
and time, while other people see it as a waste of money and something that should be taken care of by the school. Laundry is a hassle as it is. You need to get the detergent, the dryer sheets, bring the laundry down the stairs, wait for other laundry machines to finish and then finally bring the laundry back upstairs. If there were enough laundry machines, then paying for our laundry might not seem as bad, because although we have to pay, we are still able to get our laundry done without waiting. The fact that there are
limited machines, and that we have to pay $1.50 per load is absurd. Our laundry situation is not helping students manage their time – in fact it is messing up their time management. When students find a time during the day, where they can do their laundry they then have to check if any machines are open and then make sure they can even pay for it. If none are open they either have to wait or move it to another day. In this situation students already had a plan as to what they were going to accomplish during
the time their laundry was getting washed. Since it has to be pushed back they need to decide what they are going to do instead of laundry. The money that college students have should be saved for food, school or in case of an emergency. If students keep losing money to a laundry machine, they will not be able to buy food and they may not have enough money for school materials or events. Laundry on our campus is another way for students to lose more money. College students in our nation already have issues with money as it is. Having to scrape up change
or ask their parents to put money on their swipe card is just causing more stress and worry. If our campus took away the charge on laundry, students would have one less thing to worry about and it would make their financial lives easier. If lowering the price is not a possibility, then our school should add more machines where there are more open spots to do laundry. This would create less waiting time and more opportunity to work on managing time.

Bullet Shot: Athlete of
Athlete of the Week the Week
Junior Caroline Moyer, photo courtesy of David Sinclair. By Claire Healey Staff Writer The Gettysburg Cowomen’s swim team had an outstanding weekend against Swarthmore College. In their first meet since Dec. 5 the lady Bullets were able to capture a victory, 163-99, against their Centennial Conference opponents. Helping to lead the pack for the Bullets was Junior Caroline Moyer. Moyer had a phenomenal weekend with two individual victories, as well as being part of a winning relay. Her first victory of the day came in the 100-yard breaststroke. Gettysburg was able to go 1-3-4 in that event. She continued her winning streak with a victory in the 200-yard breaststroke. Leading first-year Sadie Stiles, Moyer finished with a time of 2:29:83. Along with her individual wins, Moyer was part of the winning 200-yard medley relay for the Bullets. She along with sophomores Savannah Llewellyn, Nicole Farina, and Allie Mueller, clocked a time of 1:52:67, which was almost two seconds ahead of their nearest competitor. Moyer said, “I think the team swam incredible this weekend because of the time and effort we have put into the season so far. We have really been pushing each other and motivating each other in practices.” Caroline is a great leader and competitor for the lady Bullets and seems to be continuing to get better as the season progresses. Moyer and the rest of the Gettysburg team will be back in action Wednesday Feb. 3 against Dickinson. Congratulations to Moyer for being this week’s “Bullet of the Week!”

Track and field shines at Lehigh Invitational Senior Travis Andrews shatters Gettysburg’s long jump record with leap of 22-6 1/4
By Andrew Milonw Staff Writer Senior captain Travis Andrews slashed the school’s previous long jump record by eight inches setting the tone for a Gettysburg College men’s indoor track and field team that showcased their top level talent against Division I athletes in the Lehigh Invitational this past Saturday. The highlight of the meet was clear to senior teammate David Kaiser who said, “It was one hundred percent Travis Andrews.” Andrews’ final jump of the day was 22-6 1/4 beating out all twenty-four competitors and breaking a record held by Kaiser since the 2013 season. It was quite a day for Andrews as his highlight reel included a seventh place finish in the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.35 seconds and an eight place finish in the 200-meter dash with a time of 23.48 seconds. Andrews’ leadership is based around his hard work and example set on the track and field as a top competitor on this team. His long jump on Saturday against many Division I competitors gave a jolt to the Gettysburg side who were only competing in their second meet of the season. Kaiser finished with a ninth place finish in the 60-meter dash and a tenth place finish in the long jump. Andrews’ example has certainly motivated Kaiser to change his season goals in order to keep up with his teammate.

Senior captain Travis Andrews earned the title of Centennial Conference Field Athlete of the Week with his record-breaking long jump in the Lehigh Invitational. Kaiser said, “I changed my sights to sprinting, so I wanted to get a record in the sprints for this season. I was losing a bunch of weight for that and trying to get in shape for more sprinting instead of jumping, but now with Travis extending the record, I have to focus a little bit more on jumping.” Senior captain Andre Hinds placed seventh in the shot put with a heave of 4410 1/4 showcasing his all-star talents from a year ago. The distance crew had
quite a day as well. The distance men were led by junior Ben Taber who competed in the 3000-meter race with a pace of 8:55.14 finishing fifth while first-year Alex Petrecca demonstrated his endurance in the mile with a time of 4:38.31, which was good for seventh. Senior captain Nathan Cody, who did not compete in the meet, said, “The team is strong across the board this year, and we can really be competitive.” First-year Thad Cwiklinski led the Orange and Blue in
the 400-meter dash, where he crossed the finish line at 54.22 seconds for fourteenth place. Cwiklinski believes the mid-distance squad has a lot to look forward to in the coming months. “We are going to have a really strong 4x400 team,” said Cwinklinski. “Some of my relay team members have been talking [about] the distance medley relay at the indoor conferences, so potentially we think we have a shot at that [too].” Sophomore Thomas
Clark leads the charge as the team’s multi-event competitor, and this past meet certainly gave him confidence that the heptathlon record will soon be broken. “This season I want to break the school record. That’s the goal. I am 200 points away in multi events; that’s like an inch in long jump or a few seconds in my 1000-meter race,” said Clark. Coach Aubrey Shenk certainly did a great job bringing in a talented group of first-year athletes, and new assistant coach Bryson Hartzler is a new face to the Orange & Blue who brings a lot to the table. “Coach [Shenk] has done a great job of getting a lot of freshman in different events so we have a lot of jumpers, a lot of throwers which we didn’t have before, and they are pretty consistent, “ said Kaiser. “Coach Hartzler has brought so much structure to the organization.” Sixteen letter winners have marked their return to the Gettysburg men’s indoor track and field team, along with eight who scored points in the indoor or outdoor conference championships last season. Not to mention, many of the firstyear students are practicing and competing at high levels. Look for this team to continue striving for records as they compete in the upcoming Dickinson DuCharme Invitational this Saturday, Feb. 6 beginning at 10 a.m.
Bullets slam Washington and Johns Hopkins Two-game victory advances basketball’s hunt for key conference wins to earn playoff seat By William LeConey Staff Writer The Gettysburg women’s basketball team has had a successful year so far as the season is coming ever closer to its conclusion. The Bullets have a strong record at 13-4, which includes a 7-4 conference mark. Their play has been strong enough over the course of the year for the third spot in the conference, trailing only Muhlenberg College and McDaniel College. They are in contention for a playoff spot, making the stretch of conference games that will conclude the regular season important ones. Up to this point, the Bullets have been helped by strong play from their star players, as well as an ample amount of scoring depth off the bench. They have outscored opponents 1131-870 so far this season. Senior forward Jessica Porter paces the team in scoring, with 14.2 points per game. Fresh-year guard Emma Dorshimer and sophomore forward Emily Gibbons follow right behind, with 13.9 and 12.1 respectively. Senior guard Kim Ryan leads the team with 4.3 assists per game, while Porter leads the team in rebounds, with eight per game.
The bench has had a strong season as well, as evidenced by the fact that the Bullets have ten players averaging at least two points a game. In their game Saturday against Washington College, the Bullets performed well, winning decisively by a score of 61-46. As a team, Gettysburg shot 44.9% from the floor, including 36.4% from three point range, and had twenty-eight points in the paint. Jessica Porter had a strong game for the Bullets, not missing from the field. She finished with a team-leading fifteen points, along with four assists, four rebounds and two blocks. Senior forward Emily Duggan led the team in rebounds with seven, and also had three assists. Emily Gibbons also had a strong game, scoring ten points, grabbing five rebounds, and tallying three assists. Emma Dorshimer contributed twelve points as well, altogether making for a strong game from the Bullets. The bench contributed fifteen points to the Bullets’ cause. On Tuesday the Bullets prevailed again, this time over Johns Hopkins University, led by twenty points and four rebounds from Emma Dorshimer. The final score was 52-36.

Senior Jessica Porter scored fifteen points in Saturday’s matchup against Washington College, putting her in a three-way tie in the conference standings. The Bullets hope their strong play of late translates to the remainder of their games this season. Over the final few weeks of the season, Gettysburg will play exclusively Centennial Conference opponents, making every game an important one. Included in the final stretch are games against
Muhlenberg and McDaniel, the two teams the Bullets currently trail in the standings. In addition to those games, the Bullets will face the two teams directly behind them in the standings, Haverford College and Dickinson College. How the Bullets perform in these games will play a large role in determining how
they finish in the standings and could potentially solidify a playoff berth. They will be looking to continue their solid play while improving in certain areas to get them over the top. You can check out the Bullets next game on their home court when they face off against Muhlenberg College on Thursday, Feb. 4 at 7 p.m.
