Vosloorus, South Africa South African Football Captain Senzo Meyiwa has died after being shot during a robbery. The national sports hero was visiting his girlfriend in Vosloorus, just south of Johannesburg, when two armed men entered her house and demanded their valuables. Police believe that Meyiwa may have been trying to defend his girlfriend when he was shot.

He was goalkeeper for the South African team the Orlando Pirates and played for his country in the last four Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The police are currently searching for the men responsible for the murder, but have not yet identified them.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

President Dilma Rousseff has been reelected as the head of the Brazilian government with one of the smallest margins in the country’s election history.

She promises to be “a better president” and focus on promoting national unity. President Rousseff found voting strongholds in the poor north and northeast, areas that benefit greatly from federal aid and development projects. One consistent aim of her presidency and campaign has been to decrease the gap between the rich and the poor, which has, more often than not, been difficult because of high levels of corruption and an increasingly poor economy.

Newark, New Jersey

A nurse who was quarantined upon arrival to the United States after treating Ebola patients in Sierra Leone has been released. Kaci Hickox, 33, was placed in quarantine after a forehead scanner showed that she had a fever of 101. She protested her quarantine after an oral reading came up at 98.6, arguing that her originally spiked temperature had been a result of distress. Governor Chris Christie refused to apologize for the protocol, saying that “if they are symptomatic, they are going to the hospital.” Christie maintains that strict standards are vital for preventing any further spread of the disease within the US, while New York governor Andrew

Cuomo relaxed standards for his own state.

Seoul, South Korea Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for the captain of the ferry boat that capsized in April earlier this year, killing over 300 passengers. They argue that the captain has shown no repentance and has repeatedly made excuses and lied about what happened that day. Survivors of the wreck say that they were actually told to stay put on the ferry even after it had begun to capsize. The tragedy was a result of multiple factors, including an inexperienced crew, illegal designs, and excessive cargo. No one has been executed in South Korea since 1997.

Big things come in small packages Georyana Santos Guest Columnist Admit it. We’re all aware.

Society frowns upon relationships that consist of a tall woman and a shorter man.

If I am honest, I used to be one of the many stereotypical girls with the strong belief that women should always date a man taller than them. I was built upon the alluring and enchanting daydream that one day my very own tall and attractive prince charming would come sweep me off my feet. Personally, I am 5’8”. Of course I am no star NBA player, so I was never ridiculously tall. Nevertheless, I had always faced the dilemma of tremendously desiring a man who was taller than me. In fact, I had always seemed to turn down very sweet and down-toearth guys because of a restraining gene that, simply, they just could not change. Now, as I tend to look back, I have regrets as to how foolish of a move that was.

As a culture, we are naturally inclined to favor couples that we define as “cute” as a towering man next to his shorter partner. We view the opposite as awkward and unacceptable in regards to fulfilling society’s standards. Let me just state that when I say “we,” I am not speaking for entirely everyone of our generation. It is a generalization.

I am very much aware that there are still women who are willing to give shorter men a chance, and are not as narrow-minded.

I dare you to go around and ask a variety of stereotypical women why they necessarily tend to exclude short men out of the picture. Their answers typically include “I’ve just never been attracted to them,” or the one I personally love the most—“because I said so.” Yes, preference is one thing, but being judgmental is another. Also, if you are going to have a reason, at least let it be a good one. I can understand the “I don’t want to be looked at in a freakish or uncanny way.”

It is perfectly normal for girls to fear the looks and glances from their peers or arbitrary people on the streets. But is the necessity to look good as partners and live up to society’s standards an ac-

ceptable reason for turning away men who might even be willing to offer a woman exceptionally more than a taller guy would?

We could get into all of the psychological reasons and studies that show why women seem to become turned off, or we could just be straightforward. Self-consciousness is a factor, but so are reasons that stem from evolution. Women tend to go for masculine men who they perceive as dominant and protective—the ones who can assume the position of the big spoon. They associate with these types of men who allow them to feel feminine, secure, and petite. They immediately believe short guys might be unable to provide this based on their height. Many ladies are just simply misguided by social misconceptions but are unaware that their biases are irrational.

I know plenty of men who are sincere, genuine, and willing to put a woman on a pedestal, if she wanted. Is it fair to them to be ostracized and be frowned upon by women simply because of height? It is pitiful to see even online dating has become nothing but a parade of lies that consecutively surround physical appearance. Women have become accustomed to automatically throwing out the “don’t reach out to me if you’re scrawny and under 5’5” line, instantaneously excluding short men as if it was their only goal in life. It is just shameful.

So, I leave you off with this: Girls, stop narrowing your pool of prospective dating partners.

Do not let your bias be a reflection of your character. Best of all: do not let prejudice stand in the way of potentially finding a great partner. I cannot make you change your preferences, but I can at least try to encourage you into giving shorter men a chance.

Just to get this out of the way, I have absolutely nothing against tall men. Regardless, they still continue to lie within my preferences, but I have only now overcome the monstrous stereotype known as diminutive height. Although, I do have one last thing to say to the ladies: sometimes, good things come in small packages. Start unwrapping and give them a chance.

They were attacking the person, not the issue.

Emily Foster ‘18 I was truly embarrassed and disturbed by this behavior. Hate speech posted anonymously has no place in the public discourse. We have a responsibility to each other as a community to own our words and opinions, and should not hide behind the next generation of social platforms when addressing sensitive issues.

Dr. David Charles Just the fact that we were forced to go there means that there is a problem.

The fact that people would sit on their phones and trivialize a serious issue was disconcerting.

Amanda Byrnes ‘18 They realize domestic violence is a problem, but until you watch them punch her in the face it’s not real to them Dr. Kim Dennis Every single Yik Yak posted was an act of violence. This may seem like hyperbole, but it is true. Every Yik Yak posted says that we are a culture that makes light of domestic violence and sexual assault. Every Yik Yak says that it is okay to shame victims.

Peter Ruiz ‘15 The reality of it is, the facts and statistics are, that more men beat up women. The facts speak for themselves.

Don’t

Forget to Vote

3

1 in 5 Americans are expected to vote absentee

CONTROVERSIAL

AMENDMENTS are on this year’s ballot

This amendment would provide a long-term funding mechanism for environmental conservation without a new tax, remove reliance on yearly legislative funding for water and land conservation projects, and enhance publicly held recreational lands.

This amendment would allow individuals who are determined by a licensed Florida physician to have debilitating diseases to purchase and use medical marijuana, according to the League of Women Voters of Florida Education Fund’s 2014 Nonpartisan Voter Guide.

This amendment would allow a governor to prospectively fill vacancies on the Florida Supreme Court or a district court of appeal as the justice’s term is expected to expire.

Currently, the vacancy is filled after a judge reaches the retirement age of 70, fails to qualify for a retention election, or fails to secure a majority of votes during his or her retention election.

Rollins supports the red, white and blue The election season is right around the corner with three controversial amendments on the ballot. Rollins offers students tools to help them in their voting decisions, including an event about these hot topics.

Micah Bradley

Staff Writer

Almost everyone has seen the negative ads that both candidates for Governor are running on television for the November election. The Democratic candidate is Charlie Crist, and the Republican incumbent is Rick Scott.

They both run mostly negative attack advertisements aimed at each other. As USA Today points out, the Libertarian candidate Adrian Wyllie has received more support than any third-party candidate has in Florida’s history, which probably shows the state’s dissatisfaction with the overwhelmingly negative ads.

As UCF student newspaper the Central Florida Future reports, there are also three controversial amendments on the ballot. One

regards funding for environmental purposes, including water and land conservation. Another considers the future of medical marijuana and some of the regulations if it is legalized. The third amendment is in regard to how the Governor of Florida appoints judges.

Any United States citizen ​ over the age of 18 can vote, although it is already too late to register for the upcoming election. Early voting in Florida runs until November 2. The Winter Park Library, across from campus, is an early voting location.

Students can register to vote in Florida instead of their home state by using their Rollins mailing address. Rollins uses a website called TurboVote to make the process easier. This website also gives election reminders

and can help students register for absentee voting.

“It’s actually a really useful tool, even for people who are already registered, because it gets them their absentee ballots for every election and then sends them reminders so they remember to get out and vote. And if students do choose to vote in their home state (if it’s not Florida), using TurboVote insures they don’t miss an election while they’re away at school because you can have the absentee ballots mailed down to you here,” said Marissa Corrente, who is Assistant Director for the Center for Leadership and Community Engagement as well as the staff advisor for the Democracy Project. ​According to NPR, around 1 in 5 Americans are expected

to vote absentee, but the process can be problematic. Sometimes it seems like a lot of work just to get the ballot, which can require filling out a form or even going to the election office.

There have also been issues with votes being rejected, which can be done without alerting the voter. Two years ago, over a quarter of a million absentee ballots were not counted. Often, it is because of the process of absentee voting—ballots are not mailed in properly or do not arrive in time, so they are not counted. One important thing to remember is that the vote is usually only counted if it is received

by Election Day, not just postmarked by that date. ​There are other ways to get involved with the election on campus. On October 30, during

common hour, there will be an event to learn about the three amendments in Beiberbach-Reed. The Democracy Project will also be having a “Rally to the Polls” event, which includes carpooling and using the bike-sharing program to help students get to the polling place on November 4, which for the Rollins address is the Winter Park Ninth Grade Center.

“We know that voting can ​ sometimes seem overwhelming (there’s lots on the ballot that can be confusing, there are different voting regulations for each state, etc.), but we really try to make the process as simple as possible! This is an important part of our democracy; by being active participants in it, like through voting, we can impact real social change,” said Corrente.

Immersions show students a unique worldview From New York to the Bahamas, Immersion trips offer students a chance to truly give back to the community. These cross-campus efforts aim to mold students into global citizens.

Danielle Del Pico

Writer

Rollins College Center for Leadership & Community Engagement offers an exciting alternative for students wishing to engage directly with their peers and their community during their semester breaks and at various other times during the school year.

The volunteers of the program are taken outside our Rollins College community and engaged by participating in activities and projects that focus on various types of issues, ranging from social to political matters.

Through these experiences, the individual is allowed the opportunity to work closely with other communities beyond their own.

In the past there have been Immersions to New York, Nashville, and Abaco, Bahamas. The program began in 2008, initially organized by the faculty and staff of Rollins College. Today,

students are given the opportunity to plan and host theses life-changing events.

Raul A. Carril ’15 and Graduate Assistant at the Center for Leadership & Community Engagement at Rollins explained some of the vital responsibilities of the event host, “Immersion Facilitators have a wide range of responsibilities. In addition to planning and leading the Immersion experience, Immersion Facilitators get to know their participants and help ‘facilitate’ the educational components, reflections, and team builders that create the incredible environments participants have come to love and expect from Immersion experiences.”

This past year, an Immersion that took place in St. Augustine focused on the issue of animal rights. There, volunteers did service on an alligator farm, working closely with the non-profit wildlife care and community partner HAWKE. At an

Immersion experience in Miami, volunteers visited with inner city kids who are apart of a counseling program that assists them in building new groundwork for

“

Stepping outside of the box allows volunteers to weld their academic experience with hands-on experiences that will reward them for years to come.

their lives.

Kenady Bickel ’18, reflected on her thoughts from participating in the program, having been on these two aforementioned

immersion experiences, “You are constantly pushed outside of your comfort zones, whether that be by sleeping next to someone you hardly know, coming face to face with alligators, working through sweaty situations with the sun beating down on you, or even being a bit nervous about who you are with. Immersion forces you to build trust and connections while learning about others, but also while learning a lot about yourself. It has benefited me immensely just in the short time since I’ve been back from my experiences. It has changed my perspective in every day situations and has allowed me to see through eyes other than my own. It was wonderful to learn, experience, and to truly be immersed in situations that are so different from my small area of the world.”

Carril reflected on the importance of programs such as Immersion, “Citizens Take Action is truly a campus initiative.

Immersion works with students across A&S, Holt, Crummer, faculty, staff, alumni, and Board of Trustee members to create these enriching and diverse experiences. From Alumni Relations to ResLife to Student Success to the Center for Inclusion and Campus Involvement to Community Standards and Responsibility, the Immersion program is truly a cross-campus collaborative effort. Along with our terrific and diverse group of community parents we are preparing students to be our community’s global citizens and responsible leaders of tomorrow.”

Stepping outside of the box allows volunteers to weld their academic experience with hands-on experiences that will reward them for years to come.

Visit the Center for Leaders and Community engagement website for more information and stop by their office in the Mills Memorial Building to plan your next Immersion.

Neighborhoods aim to forward students’ thinking With a degree in both theology and biology, Dr. Dean-Drummond seeks to highlight the liberal arts education with the Neighborhoods novelty.

Michael Dulman

Writer

The theme of the day was wonder and curiosity as freshmen examined the concepts’ educational importance. Directing the group discussion, Dr. Celia Deane-Drummond of Notre Dame shared with them her experience with the two, relating it to the integrated approach of the new Neighborhood system.

Rollins College intends the Neighborhoods to change how students see general education courses. By linking them under a common theme, it seeks to rejuvenate a wavering interest in the liberal arts as a whole.

“The difficulty for any educator, I think, is to arouse wonder and curiosity in the students,” said Deane-Drummond, “My task as an educator is to not let them be content with that mechanistic approach to learning.”

With a degree in theology and biology, Deane-Drummond essentially majored in wonder and curiosity. Needless to say, she was in her element during the discussion.

She began by asking the audience to think of some examples of wonder derived from chaotic or orderly phenomenon. One student chose the atomic bomb.

That was exactly the response she wanted. For her, nuclear energy is a prime example of integrating the liberal arts with different fields, such as the sciences. Ethics becomes quite important when scientific developments change lives, to say nothing of ending lives.

“In science, it’s not value free,” said Dr. Deane-Drummond. “There are values behind the science, and there are people behind those values.”

A broad, interconnected view of the liberal arts is another goal of the Neighborhoods. This encourages students to see their subject in the bigger picture and,

more importantly, to see themselves in the grander scheme of things.

Likewise, the doctor led her audience to think about the role wonder and curiosity plays in their own lives by presenting a history of the concepts’ examination from Aristotle to Mary Midgley.

Wonder and curiosity, the doctor explained, have been debated for a long time. Some viewed only religious wonder of creation as good, condemning curiosity as immoral and uncontrolled. Others saw wonder as pure ignorance and curiosity as sophisticated. She disagrees with both.

“I would prefer to go back to an era where the two were combined rather than separated,” declared the professor.

All people passionate about their subject likely were enthralled before they understood it, which increased their desire to know more. Knowing more about it, they probably lost some of their initial wonder. But they almost certainly would have lost their passion as well if wonder had abandoned them entirely, a view biochemistry major Ava Benham ’18 shares.

“I definitely think both ways drive you and motivate you,” she states. “I feel one day I’ll feel less passionate about things, but there’ll always be room [for wonder]”.

If Neighborhoods succeed in inspiring students to feel for other disciplines the wonder they have for their own, that would only spell good for the liberal arts. Students of the liberal arts, driven by wonder and curiosity, would stop learning if they lost these motivations. According to Mary Midgely, a combination of wonder and curiosity create a goal that the seeker of knowledge strives for. “On it the seeker’s spirit feeds, and without it, that spirit would starve.”

Rollins Flickr Rock legend Paul McCartney visited the campus this past Thursday. The former Beatle spoke to a small group of around 500 randomly selected Rollins students.

Former Beatle gives Rollins private session

Gripping her vinyl copy of The White Album, Miola Aganović ‘17 was spellbound by her most beloved musician and admitted that she sobbed during his performance of “Blackbird.”

“Sitting in the front row, a couple feet away from Paul McCartney was the most special thing that has happened to me,” Aganović ’17 said. “My dad and I only ever listened to the Beatles when I was growing up, so that moment was incredible. I’m still in shock to be honest.”

Sir Paul McCartney spoke Thursday night to a happy few, a small gathering of 550 Rollins students, faculty, and staff. The campus visitor was kept secret until the morning of the event, and attendees had to win their golden tickets through a lottery system. The news caused such a frenzy around campus—proving that a boy band from the 60s can still make fans weak at the knees half a century later.

“I thought it was really cool how they kept it secretive the whole time,” Lauren Chisner ’15 said. “Even though he is such a big star, it was such a small and

honest event.”

While making his grand entrance on the altar of Knowles Memorial Chapel, the rock ‘n’ roll legend was donned in black and strumming an air guitar with an infectious grin. Naturally comical and humbly confident, the ex-Beatle is not a traditional knight in any sense, but he immediately captivated the capacity audience and received a standing ovation before even saying a word.

During an hour-long discussion with former U.S. Poet Laureate and Winter Park Institute speaker Billy Collins, McCartney divulged about his upbringing in Liverpool, views on song covers, collaboration with John Lennon, and shared tips on the creative process.

The knight strummed guitar chords to illustrate his inspirations for songwriting and reveal the defining moments behind some Beatles’ classics. A guitar shop owner hooked on jazz influenced the melody for “Michelle,” and a Bach composition inspired the intro for “Blackbird.” “Drive My Car” came into fruition over tea with John Lennon, and “Yesterday” came into being through a dream.

“That was one of the most magical things for me. I dreamt that song,” McCartney said.

“It came in a dream perfectly formed as a melody, and that is the song that has been covered the most.”

When asked about the extensive amount of Beatle covers, he replied, “It’s a tribute no matter how bad it is. I like covers of my songs. I am amazed that people would even bother.”

Collins referred to Sir Paul as an “800 hit wonder,” and the two artists found common ground when discussing the ties between lyrics and poetry. While attributing the Beatles’ musical evolution to “a natural growing up we developed—and drugs,” McCartney described poetry as a more personal experience.

“I think of writing poetry like writing in a diary, because you are just trying to get an understanding of what’s around you,” McCartney said.

The night ended on a reflective note with a solemn performance of “Blackbird,” a song co-written with John Lennon that alludes to race issues in America.

The intimate song was a perfect choice for an intimate night with Paul McCartney.

Alumni band lands several major gigs Rollins’ graduate band Groove Orient hopes to perform at the Spirit of Suwannee Music Park and plans to rock the cities of New Orleans and Miami.

Jonny Scoblionko Columnist

Coming off of a scorching hot summer tour of the Southeast, our local Floridian Facemelters, the Groove Orient, have had an extremely busy fall season with some big dates approaching. Last month, the Rol-

lins graduates headlined Disc Jam at the legendary Spirit of Suwannee Music Park and are currently striving to win the Vote to AURA contest with the hopes of playing at Suwannee again in March at AURA Music and Arts Festival.

In more festival news, they will be headlining Florida’s fa-

vorite celebration of local bands and beers, Orange Blossom Jamboree, with Tommy Shugart (Keyboard/Guitar) added as an artist at large. ​The band also has many exciting shows coming up.

They are thrilled to be playing in New Orleans over Halloween T:10” weekend at Winos and Tacos (10/31) and the Balcony Music

Club (11/1). On New Years Eve, they will be Orient-ing at Tanqueray’s Bar and reeling in 2015 with Ancient Sun. The following Saturday (1/3) they have planned a special post-Phish show in Miami at Bougainvilleas Tavern following the Phestivities at the AA Arena. ​If you have not had a chance

to see the Groove Orient, be sure to check out TGO Tuesdays at Tanquerey’s Bar in Downtown Orlando, a chance to see them in an intimate setting with no cover and great drinks. They will also be headlining Rollins’ own Fox Fest next semester, with more information on that to come. Get Oriented. Stay Oriented.
