President Jarett Lopez said that the Board of Regents approved SGA’s new constitution with some amendments. One of those amendments was changing the name of two committees: Academic Affairs and Student Rights. The Academic Affairs is now the Academic Excellence committee and Student Rights is now Student Advocacy. With the renaming of the committees, its chairs were reappointed. Brynn Cahal was reappointed as the chair of the student advocacy committee and Allan Millward was repointed as the chair of the academic excellence committee. Later in the meeting, Chief Justice Noah Cullen went over the amendments made to the constitution. The

amendments included a clarification on who can vote and who can not vote within meetings, the required cumulative GPA changing from 2.25 to 2.5, the amount of required SGA events senators must attend and changing the number of days the judicial council must have a hearing and render an appeal from 10 days to five.

Emerging Choreographers Showcase supports the artistic growth of women PHOTO PROVIDED BY TRACEY BONNER

REPORTER

NKU’s dance program holds an Emerging Choreographers’ Showcase every year to spotlight student talent. This year the ECS will be entirely produced and choreographed by female students. When BFA dance coordinator and assistant professor of dance Tracey Bonner began teaching at the School of the Arts five years ago, her students didn’t even have a performance opportunity for the fall semester. “One thing we know from higher education studies is that when students can come in and be involved in a major project within their field of interest … their retention rate is 85 percent higher,” Bonner said. With the help of one of her students, Bonner created the ECS, which is completely student-run to encourage students to not only get involved on stage but to gain experience in choreographing, designing and stage managing. According to Bonner, there are currently no male dance majors in the BFA dance program, however this has given the showcase the opportunity to address a topic that affects all women in the performing arts field. Michael Hatton, theatre and dance program head, said that dance, which has been a component of theatre since at least the sixth century B.C.E., typically recruits the help of a technical director to oversee and ensure all production elements of the show work properly and safely. In addition to technical directors, staff

designers are also recruited to manage various components of a production such as lighting, scenery, costumes, wigs and makeup, sound and a conductor if there is a live orchestra. According to Hatton, until recently, these roles have typically been occupied by men. “The design areas of lighting, sound and scenic are more readily connected with jobs men would have in other areas of society, and tended to require physical effort traditionally associated with males,” Hatton said. According to a gender equity report published by the Dance Data Project (DDP), few career opportunities exist for women in ballet beyond dancing or teaching. In 2019, DDP released an analysis of the following categories of the top 50 domestic dance companies in the United States: the board of directors and trustees, gender distribution of choreographers and executive and artistic leadership. The data revealed that 70 percent of board chair members, 58 percent of single-act choreographers, 54 percent of executive directors and 75 percent of artistic directors were male. However, SOTA faculty refuse to let these statistics be true for their dance department. “In our program, we are 50/50 male and female in our design/tech faculty. It is critically important for our female tech/design students to have female mentorship and to learn how to navigate the challenges of being a female in a male-centric industry,” Hatton said.

Franchesca ‘Frankie’ Montazemi, senior BFA dance major, is just one student who has benefited from the female mentorship offered at NKU. Montazemi is co-artistic director of ECS for Fall ‘19 alongside senior integrative studies major Anna Gortner. Both women work and communicate regularly with Bonner to make sure the showcase reaches its full potential. Bonner, Gortner and Montazemi all encourage other women in SOTA to get involved in the ECS. “What we are offering as a completely female-led production is openness and caring while still being professional, which a lot of people don’t expect,” Montazemi said. According to Montazemi, Bonner has established a circular nation concept for the showcase’s leadership—meaning if a student is a good fit for ECS, they will be asked to assist at this event and then will assist with a larger dance concert in the spring semester. The showcase centers around the idea of continuous mentorship, so that everybody feels that they are offering a specific contribution to the overall growth and success of the programming, Bonner said. “The idea is that you continue this leadership circle and adding more people to the mix, and we just happen to be all ladies right now,” Montazemi said. Montazemi, who danced competitively for a studio run by women prior to attending NKU, describes the process ECS

choreographers and dancers undergo as rigorous. According to Gortner, who grew up as a gymnast and then started dancing in productions, she and Montazemi gave the choreographers 10 weeks to create a two to four-minute piece of a dance style of their choice. “The choreographers must go through a long process to get their work produced; the choreographers have to send in a proposal, which then has to be approved,” Montazemi said. Every dancer had 10 minutes to learn and master each of the three combinations they performed in front of the choreographers. Once each of the 11 pieces was cast, the choreographers had three weeks to rehearse with their dancers before they had to present at least a minute of their work to a panel of professionals who then determined whether or not they could perform at the showcase. After the panel’s deliberation, six pieces were confirmed for the Fall ’19 showcase. At this year’s showcase, the audience can expect to see a variety of dance styles, from a hip-hop piece about a rising phoenix to a tap piece all about vulnerability. “Each piece has its own concept. It’s unique and personal to every choreographer,” Montazemi said.

The showcase is Nov. 25 at 6 p.m. in Greaves Concert Hall. Admission is free.

‘It’s all about the turnover’: Parking Services sells more passes than spots available Kyle Wade

GRAPHS BY BILLY KEENEY

REPORTER

With 10,734 parking passes issued and only 6,694 parking spots available as of Nov. 14, 2019, finding a parking spot has become a difficult task for NKU students and faculty alike. “It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack; it’s just impossible,” Devaughn Allen, sophomore marketing major, said about his experience with NKU parking. Allen is a recent transfer student who said that he was ticketed his first week for parking in the grass near Griffin Hall. Allen said he’d like to see more parking on NKU’s campus because the situation at hand is an inconvenience for students. “We’ve got a lot of students, not a lot of spaces,” Allen said. “Parking should be about student convenience. We need more parking. Flat out.” Justin Wickersham, sophomore undeclared major, said parking was especially rough during the first three weeks of school. Wickersham has been ticketed three times this semester for parking in the grass. “I live an hour away and I now have to leave thirty minutes earlier than usual, only to find a spot that’s fifteen minutes away from my first class,” Wickersham said. “It’s not convenient, but it gets the job done. You can have everybody park here and I think they might all fit. It’s just some students are going to have a 15- to 20-minute walk to class.” According to Director of Business Operations and Auxiliary Services Andy Meeks, the biggest complaint Parking Services hears is there isn’t enough parking spots. However, Meeks said that complaint is hard to respond to because “that statement is so far from the truth.” “On our busiest days, there are hundreds of parking spots available, they just may not meet someone’s criteria for convenient,” Meeks said. “I can’t open up 6,000 spots in front of Landrum Hall at 12:30 to meet everyone’s preference. It’s just not realistic.” Meeks warns that inconvenience is

no excuse to violate the parking rules and regulations, citing that the biggest problem is students parking in the grass. “Don’t park in the grass. It’s illegal and ruins the landscape of NKU. You will be given a citation,” Meeks said. Once someone accumulates three unresolved citations, a boot will be applied to their vehicle. As far as the numbers go, there are more parking passes issued than parking spots available. At first glance, these numbers could cause some concern, but Meeks said that “a lot of logic and science” goes into how many parking spaces that NKU should have, and compares it to the foodservice industry. “If you go to a restaurant that serves

400 people daily, they may only have 150 seats. It’s all about the turnover,” Meeks said. By turnover, Meeks is talking about student’s schedules and how many students are on campus at one time on average. He said that a lot of numbers are analyzed prior to every semester, such as students’ schedules (MWF and T/TR) and special events—athletics, concerts, organizational events, etc. He said that these statistics are gathered from the office of campus planning and the office of institutional research and then analyzed to ensure that there is enough parking to facilitate all students and faculty. Meeks said that “when the need arises, we will definitely talk about it, and the next solution would most likely be

in the form of another parking garage.” In addition, Meeks addressed the new residence hall in Boothe Village that is currently scheduled for completion by July 2021. He said that the hall will “more than likely be plopped down in one of our service parking lots, so we’re planning to recover those parking places by putting in another lot down behind Woodcrest.” The Northerner previously reported that 200 parking spots will be unavailable during construction of the new residence hall. Meeks also said Parking Services does have “long-range plans” to designate “millions of dollars” to a complete overhaul of all of NKU’s parking lots like they did with Lot K and L near the Kenton Drive garage over the sum-

mer, where they added more lighting alongside a botanic touch and new pavement. Meeks and his Parking Services team do offer some advice for students to land more convenient parking on their Parking Services page. “All I want to do is provide safe, adequate parking. [NKU Parking Services] want to make it as convenient as we can,” Meeks said.

For students with several parking citations, on Nov. 11 - 27, NKU is running their “Food for Fines” initiative which allows students to pay for up to three citations with six, unopened and unexpired jars of peanut butter, six 5 oz. cans of chicken or six protein/granola bars.

Dating in the digital age: safety, awareness

Noelle Horn

ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

They met on Tinder and decided to stop for coffee at Carabello in Newport. He was sweet, she remembered. He brought her the coffee she ordered, which came with a caramel candy on top. She noticed it was wrapped “wonky” but ignored it. When her date went to the bathroom, the barista repeatedly offered her a new caramel. She remembered thinking this was odd, but ignored it. He told her she seemed tense, so he got her a glass of water. It tasted like water and it was clear, but her headache the next morning made her think otherwise. “I had no reason to suspect that he would do anything to hurt me because he was super cool. He was really funny,” Kennedy Hall, junior theatre major and pre-law minor, said. She doesn’t remember the rest of the night, which she said was the scariest part. Maybe she gave consent, maybe she didn’t—all she knew was that her head hurt and she had to leave his apartment. “I don’t know if things happened … I can’t say one way or another because I don’t know. I just lost all that time,” Hall said. “I try to not think about it.” Hall said that when it comes to dating apps, while she has had more negative experiences, they typically come in the

form of unsolicited pictures. Although she has had less positive experiences, Hall said the positives heavily outweigh the negatives. The summer before her freshman year, Hall used the app ‘Her,’ a dating and social media app geared toward women seeking women. When Hall got to NKU, she “leaped” out of the closet, and through “Her” was able to meet a woman who— although she is not romantically involved with her—is now one of her best friends. Hall said it is important to be aware of your surroundings, whether it’s just going somewhere you’ve never been before or meeting up with someone you met online. “Unfortunately, the way that it is right now and the current state of affairs, we have to do things to keep ourselves safe,” Hall said. Hall always shares her location with her mom and someone who she knows could pick her up if she needed it. She said it’s sad that she has to take those precautions, but that’s “just how it has to be.” A lot of Hall’s steps to ensure her safety comes from being the daughter of two paramedics. Another one of those precautions is that Hall has a signal sentence. Hall and her mom know this can mean she just needs to talk or, in the worst-case scenario, is in danger.

Police perspective NKU Police Chief John Gaffin said when having conversations about crimes that occur as a result of dating apps, it’s important to know that these crimes are always the fault of the offender, not the victim. “From our end, it’s a balance of how do we make perfectly clear that we aren’t blaming victims … no matter what anybody has done or failed to do, this should never be the outcome,” Gaffin said. “But also take kind of the realist view that there’s bad people who do bad things.” Gaffin said when meeting up with someone you don’t know very well, it’s important to have options and outs if you need them. “I think those initial meetups, you probably want to have in a public place or have a friend with you—have someone else around. You’re just trying to do things so that you have options,” Gaffin said. It’s not that these kinds of crimes happen more on college campuses, Gaffin said, but college students use dating apps more than other age groups so they have more exposure. Gaffin said people should be cautious if someone is hesitant to provide information or is pressuring you to do anything you don’t want to do. “I think maybe if there’s an uncomfortability or an awkwardness that’s keeping you from [leaving],” Gaffin said. “Those things aren’t going to matter in the big picture. Just make it uncomfortable and get up and leave. That’s okay, that person will get the hint. If you’re not feeling right, you’ve got to trust those instincts.”

Bystander perspective Kendra Massey, director of Norse Violence Prevention Center (NVP), said that violence as a result of dating apps is not common at NVP. Massey said in cases of sexual assault and/or intimate partner violence, the offender is often someone the victim knows. Massey said when talking about prevention, it should be talked about from the perspective of a bystander or friend. Massey emphasized the three Ds: distract, delegate and direct. “We emphasize, we call it the 3 Ds, which are generally more reactive,” Massey said. “If it’s a situation where you see a potential for harm, how can you directly intervene? ... How to do a distraction, or how to delegate to someone else.” In the context of dating apps, Massey said it is more about proactive communication with your friends. “All those kind of proactive things that you can do to try and make sure your friends are safe without restricting the way that people interact in the world,” Massey said. When asked about warning signs to look out for, Massey said she doesn’t want any form of victim-blaming to come from her office and would rather talk about the issue from a bystander perspective. Massey said NVP works on reframing risk-reduction to bystander prevention. Massey said it’s important to train the community about bystander intervention. Campaigns like “Ask for Lexi,” in which staff in bars around Cincinnati are trained that when a patron asks for ‘Lexi,’ staff will do what they can to intervene and remove the patron from the situation they are in. Massey said the offenders are often good or “pretty good at being perfect” and there often aren’t “warning signs.” “It’s on all of us to look out for each other. It is not on the individual to make sure that they keep themselves safe,” Massey said.

How a student’s business went from his garage to competing in Silicon Valley Josh Kelly

MANAGING EDITOR

PHOTO BY JOSH KELLY

Isaiah Kelly started painting shoes in his garage as a hobby. Now, after taking part in the INKUBATOR program, he’s earned $7,000 in seven months. Kelly began his shoe restoration and design company, Smoove Creations, during his freshman year of college after watching a 12-year-old do the same on YouTube. He saw how successful a YouTuber was restoring and painting shoes, and decided to take the idea to his own kitchen table and garage. Kelly first worked at a Shoe Carnival store, and being around shoes for 40 hours a week turned him into a sneakerhead. “I didn’t care about shoes or apparel—how I dress. I didn’t care about any of that. I just love shoes,” Kelly said. Kelly said he spent two to three weeks working on his own shoes before he received his first phone call. The client was a father wanting a pair of shoes for his daughter’s birthday. He finished the custom sneakers with a friend, who he split the payment with. After that, he realized his hobby could have a payoff. “It was really cool just to have a hobby and just know that I could at

least have some type of money and make some type of money from it,” Kelly said. Four years later as a senior, his one client has turned into multiple clients—several of which are online through Etsy. On his store page, he sells custom painted sneakers— mostly Nike Air Force 1s, which are his favorite to make—but he does special orders as well, like the T-Mobile-branded pair he did for a store in Louisiana. His biggest client so far was Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Preston Brown, who he designed a pair of cleats for. Kelly was a member of INKUBATOR’s project class of 2019. INKUBATOR is a 12-week program that allows NKU students and alumni to take their business start-ups and learn the ins and outs of operating a business while also giving the students resources and connections in the area. Kelly said when he first started INKUBATOR, he didn’t know how to run a business because he is a media informatics major. He said everyone else in the program had taken business classes and knew they wanted to be involved in business. However, he didn’t know if he wanted

to pursue Smoove Creations yet. “I had no idea what I was doing, what was going on, I didn’t even know I really wanted to do this. I just kind of like dove into the unknown and took the initiative,” Kelly said. Kelly learned businesses are a team effort, so he brought on senior DJ Sherman as the marketing coordinator. Together they decided that Sherman’s marketing and electronic media and broadcasting majors would best suit maintaining the website and Instagram. While Sherman’s been on the team, he said that Smoove has had to overcome struggles, and he’s seen Kelly face them head on. “Most of our hardships become our blessings,” Sherman said. “It always seems like it’s a blessing right around the corner.” One of the people that has gotten to see Kelly’s process has been his girlfriend Arah Samuels. Samuels said that she has seen the work that goes on behind the scenes and how much time Kelly has put into his dream. “He works really hard and God’s been blessing him a lot,” Samuels said. “He’s grown in his faith and it shows.” In October, Kelly won the Entrepreneurs’ Organization’s Global

Student Entrepreneurship Award Cincinnati Regional Competition. This entered Kelly and the rest of the Smoove Creations team in the national competition in Silicon Valley, California against 30 other student entrepreneurs in the nation. Sherman said he never saw the business going from Kelly’s garage to a national competition in California. Kelly is the first NKU student to win the award. “It’s honestly really crazy. Just thinking about how far I’ve come. When I started, I was doing stuff in my kitchen table and on my garage,” Kelly said. “I expect [California] to be a surreal eye-opening experience. Of course I’m going to compete, so I want to win, but to me, I can’t lose because even if I don’t win, I still get the opportunity to be amongst so many great people that I can learn from. That’s what I’m really excited about.” Kelly hopes Smoove Creations grows beyond the region, but also hopes Cincinnati will remain the central space for his team to work. Kelly has now decided to enroll in NKU’s business administration graduate program after graduating this upcoming May.

SPORTS EDITOR

NKU took down the Coppin State Eagles Sunday afternoon 82-70 at BB&T Arena. Senior forward Dantez Walton and senior guard Tyler Sharpe led the Norse, with 24 and 23 points respectively. Graduate wing Karl Harris followed with 14 points, shooting 2-of-4 from three and grabbing five rebounds. Redshirt junior forward Silas Adheke led in rebounds with 12. The Norse started the first five minutes with a 10-6 advantage, with 3-pointers from Harris, Sharpe and Walton. The Norse continued to dominate the lead for the half. The Norse shot 40 percent from three and 38.71 percent from the field at the half. NKU kept the Eagles to 25 percent from three.

Walton continued to dominate the game by adding nine of the first 13 points the Norse had in the second half. For the game, the Norse kept their 3-point shooting percentage at 40 percent and finished with a field goal percentage of 47.6 percent. The last time two Norse netted 20 points was March 6, 2019 against Detroit Mercy. Sophomore guard Trevon Faulkner, along with Sharpe, were the last to do so. Walton scored a new career high with 24 pointsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;his previous high was 20 points against IUPUI. The Norse will head to Munice, Indiana for their Wednesday matchup against Ball State University. The game tips off at 7 p.m. and will be broadcast on ESPN+.
