SUNFORD STILL NOT SENTENCED Reporter

After nearly one year and seven continuances, sentencing is still pending for Anthony Ray Sunford for his voyeuristic behavior on campus last December. Monday morning at Ogden City Second District Court, prosecutors faced yet another delay when they had to ask for a continuation after being presented with new evidence the morning of sentencing.

On Dec. 31, 2018, Ogden Justice Court charged the former Weber State University student with eight counts of voyeurism. Surveillance video captured Sunford entering the women’s locker room on the second floor of the Wildcat Center for Health Education and Wellness on eight separate occasions between Dec. 12 and Dec. 19.

Sunford is a registered sex offender charged and convicted of attempted rape, both in California and in the military, according to his Weber county file. He was not on parole at the time the alleged crime took place and, therefore, not restricted to where he could or could not go on campus.

However, according to Lt. Mike Davies with WSU Police, they were notified by the state when Sunford informed the Utah Department of Corrections, who is in charge of managing the state’s Sex Offender Registry, that he would be attending WSU. It is customary for the state to report to local law enforcement agencies regarding registered sex offenders.

The woman who brought the initial incident to WSU Police remains anonymous. “She was aware of her

surroundings and reported it,” Davies said.

Defense counsel Randall G Phillips requested a psychological evaluation of the defendant. Sunford was ordered on July 1 to complete a pre-sentence investigation

by Professional Probation Services.

Judge Michael S. Junk granted the prosecution’s request for a continuance so that they could have time to review the report before making their sentencing recommendation.

As part of a plea agreement offered to the defendant on July 1, Sunford pled guilty to four of the original eight counts against him, and the city dismissed the other four with prejudice.

Sunford’s new sentencing date is scheduled for 10 AM Nov. 14 in the Ogden City Second Justice Court.

The Fraternity of Psi Phi Psi hosted the fourth annual Extra Life Game-A-Thon fundraiser to raise money for Primary Children’s Hospital. The fundraiser helped students join a fun and inclusive event on campus while supporting a good cause.

Extra-Life is a company that helps host marathon gaming to raise money for children. Psi Phi Psi has partnered with them for the past five years to host a 24-hour gaming marathon on campus, and all students are encouraged to par-

ticipate. On Nov. 2, groups of students and staff played tabletop games such as Dungeons and Dragons and Betrayal at House on the Hill.

Colton Bell, who is the organizer of the fundraiser, the founder of the tradition and one of the first members of Psi Phi Psi, said that this tradition has grown so much from that first small gathering in his house. During his early years in Psi Phi Psi, he felt inspired and took the opportunity to plan a significant event that would reoccur every year. Bell believes that this kind of activity has the most substantial impact on the community.

“We are helping Weber State Uni-

versity’s community be at the forefront of these amazing programs,” Bell said.

WSU was one of the first to participate in Extra-Life. Bell also stated that by engaging with a program like Extra-Life, WSU shows that its students have a passion for helping our communities and that others should be encouraged to join.

Randi Weston with Student Affairs Technology and E-sports were looking to grow their gaming initiative on campus, and Weston felt that teaming up with the fraternity would be a great way to raise awareness about the games that E-sports has to offer. Weston stated that she feels the event is important because she thinks

Students gather at University Village to play video games for the annual Extra-Life Game-a-thon to raise funds for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals

that “a lot of people are into tabletop games and table RPGs and are looking for a community that they can participate in, and it’s not readily recognized that there is a community of students that participates on campus.”

This year, both Weston and Bell were pleased with the money they raised for Extra-Life and Children’s Miracle Network. Together, both Psi Phi Psi and E-sports raised $3,750, which was one of the most successful contributions they have had in the past four years.

The Weber State University Symphonic Band fall concert took audience members on a musical trip to Tolkien’s Middle Earth, the DeLorean from “Back to the Future” and to the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. WSU music professor and conductor Samuel Bryson wanted attendees and band members to feel lively.

Held on Nov. 5—a date that is central to the plot of "Back to the Future"—concert goers were treated to a familiar sound: Alan Silvestri’s classic "Back to the Future" theme.

Attendees also listened to the movements “Gandalf” and “Hobbits.” This was not the familiar music from the Peter Jackson and Howard Shore interpretation of Middle Earth. The music was from Johan de Meij’s musical interpretation of “The Lord of the Rings.”

“I am a movie geek,” Bryson said while addressing the audience. “‘Back to the Future’ has been really fun for me to do.

Great movie soundtracks have also in-

spired many young people to pursue music as a career.”

The concert then shifted to a tone of remembrance and reverence. With Veterans Day approaching, Bryson wanted to do something special to commemorate the armed forces.

“The Dam Busters March,” from the 1955 British war film “The Dam Busters.” gives tribute to the pilots of the RAF 617 Squadron who participated in Operation Chastise. The mission involved flying behind enemy lines to bomb strategic dams in Nazi Germany. Operation Chastise was a resounding success for the Allies, but at the cost of many lives.

Just as “The Dam Busters March” took the audience to the skies of World War II, James Barnes’ tone poem, “Lonely Beach” took the audience to the forlorn beaches of Normandy on D-Day. In the written forward to the tone poem, Barnes explained he received inspiration for the piece while watching film footage of American troops disembarking from a landing craft under intense machine gun fire.

“One soldier runs out...then two more,” Barnes wrote. “The fourth soldier gets perhaps 15 yards before he is hit and falls.

Who was this soldier? Who were his parents? Was he married; did he have children? He lies on a beach with thousands of men around him, but he dies alone.”

For the piece, 10 student musicians left the stage to take up positions around the audience. The piece began with horn players blowing toneless air through their instruments to eerily mimic the sound of the waves of the cold English Channel on that fateful morning.

The off-stage trumpeters and percussionists began to interrupt, mimicking the sound of machine gun fire and explosions, immersing the auditorium with the simulated terror and chaos of war.

An abrupt silence then filled the auditorium as the signal of the moment the bullet strikes the soldier.

After the moment of silence, the music harmoniously swelled, honoring the sacrifice of the soldiers who perished. The song then ended as it began, with the sound of the waves.

“The ageless constancy of the wind and the waves reminds us of man’s comparative insignificance in relation to the world around him,” Barnes wrote.

“Lonely Beach” moved several in the audience to tears. After conducting the piece, Bryson invited the audience to observe a moment of silence for fallen veterans and then invited veterans in the audience to stand.

As a nod to the idea that dark times must pass, Bryson concluded the concert with “Amazing Grace” and “The Hounds of Spring.”

Eliaz Sanchez, a Latinx WSU music education student who plays clarinet for the symphonic band, enjoyed playing “The Hounds of Spring.”

“It brings a lot of joy into a performance,” Sanchez said. “It is really technical, and for a musician, it is a lot of fun. Sam does a great job with the band. I want to direct bands. I want to teach music.”

WOMEN GAMERS LAGGED IN PAST,

The first Google result that appears when “girl LGBT YouTube gamers” is searched is a 2009 video from YouTuber Blunty, titled “Lesbian Gamer Girl is an Idiot.” It’s a reminder of how male-dominated gaming is and how women—particularly marginalized women—are viewed as lesser in the field.

This is one of many problems that women gamers have because of how video games have been viewed in the past.

It wasn’t always this way. When video games first started out, systems were marketed toward everyone, regardless of their gender. More men did play video games than women, but it wasn’t considered odd that girls would be playing in the arcade with their mothers. However, that changed after the video game crash of 1983.

Before this, the market had been saturated with too many titles, many of which were low-quality or hacks of previously released games. Video games were now risky purchases, for both retailers and consumers, and sales started to decline.

Nintendo was able to overcome this by changing one thing: how they marketed their systems and games.

Nintendo started to market their system as a toy, rather than a console. It worked. By changing their marketing strategy, they were able to make profits on their gaming systems. Other companies in the industry took note and began to aggressively research their demographics.

Their research found that more boys played video games, but it wasn’t because girls didn’t like to play video games. At the time, consoles were new technology, and generally, boys were encouraged to engage and be involved with it. Additionally, the industry was heavily male-dominated, so while they weren’t intentionally trying to exclude women, this perspective meant that genres that women were more interested in, such as puzzle games and farming simulations, weren’t as prominent.

As a result, video game marketing took a drastic turn during the ‘90s. Only boys and men were featured in advertisements. Women, if they were included, were only sex objects. Because of this mar-

Commentary

It may be that they don’t want to alienate audiences with personal details, but it could also be a safety measure. Harassment and threats are common occurrences with being a girl gamer. Adding an LGBT identity on top of that opens the floodgates for even more aggression from other bigoted gamers. There is a plethora of videos demonstrating the harassment women face when these—usually—male gamers discover their identity.

However, that doesn’t stop them from being a significant part of the gaming community. Being able to listen to diverse voices makes all of us more well-rounded people.

Before YouTube and other social media outlets, it was difficult to find people with wildly different backgrounds than your own. Now, though, viewers can search anything that interests them, and they will find those they can bond with and have necessary conversations they might not have otherwise.

According to “Adweek” journalist Megan O’Neill, YouTube “is opening up new doors for people who were once ignorant to the world around them to become aware of cultures around the globe and to see that there are all sorts of interesting people living on our planet.”

However, if YouTube’s algorithms keep recommending videos that belittle and shame these diverse voices, then the voices of the interesting people on our planet will be silenced by those who don’t want to acknowledge that there is diversity in gaming.

keting, video game companies assumed that only men would be interested in playing video games and therefore continued to only advertise to men, which led to mostly men buying video games and created a cycle of biased advertising.

When combined with the idea that Bejewled, FarmVille and other similar games aren’t “real games,” it’s no surprise that women have been pushed out of gaming spaces and met with toxicity for encroaching on a space perceived as only being for men.

While women gamers have become more visible, marketing today still struggles to portray them on an even playing field.

According to Statista—a website dedicated to statistics and industry studies—in 2019, males made up 54 percent of YouTube’s gamers. The figures have leveled out throughout the years; during YouTube’s 2006 debut, 62 percent of gamers were male.

However, 46 percent of recommended gaming videos do not highlight women gamers. This is because Google’s algorithm spotlights content from those who have a higher subscriber count rather than by what content the creators put out.

Women are creating content and bring new perspectives to the gaming community, but it often goes unnoticed. YouTube’s algorithm tends to sexualize female gamers rather than promote them on an equal level as men.

When “female gamers” is searched, one of the top videos is “10 Most Beautiful Gamers On Twitch.” It’s the same problem as what happened in the ‘90s. Women have their own passions for gaming but are still being relegated to being sex objects.

YouTuber Yasmin Hasiri made a video in 2013 explaining her frustrations with lesbian gamers being marginalized on YouTube.

“One of the hard things about being a lesbian gamer is how ridiculously underrepresented we are,” Hasiri said in the video.

Hasiri said female gamers are overlooked, but so are gay gamers as a whole.

When you combine the two identities, she said, “they’re basically non-existent.”

Lesbian gamers tend to not state their identities in the titles, thumbnails or hashtags of their videos. This makes their channels harder to discover, causing a lack of visibility.

The National Undergraduate Literature Conference is an event that has been held annually for the past 35 years at Weber State University.

Undergraduate students from across the United States submit abstracts, a sort of synopsis of the research they conduct, and come to a three day event.

Visitors can listen to the students present on a wide variety of creative works and literature analyses.

In addition to the presentations, there is a formal banquet where moderators and presenters converse about their research and have the opportunity to hear prestigious guest speakers.

These guest speakers are also present for the three days at the conference and advise presenters and attendees.

Since the conference’s conception, many prominent authors like Carlos Fuentes, Jamaica Kincaid and Ray Bradbury

have come to the National Undergraduate Literature Conference over the years to share their insight with new generations of writers and thinkers.

When Dr. Mikel Vause, one of the founders of the conference, was asked how the National Undergraduate Literature conference began, he said, “We decided that we would put together a conference so our students could see how they stack up against other students in the state, so we went to the Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association Conference and passed out flyers, and before you know it, we had a guy from Idaho wanting to bring students and a woman from Florida wanting to bring students, so we went from the Utah State to the National in about 15 minutes time.”

This conference is now the longest-running undergraduate literature conference in the United States.

In 2020, the National Undergraduate Literature Conference will host guest

speakers Richard Ford, Ayana Mathis, Tobias Wolff and Clint Smith.

Sarah Vause, the co-director of the conference, said, “the fact that we have writers who are so prominent and willing to come to an undergraduate conference and talk about writing to me is very unusual and a cool opportunity for students to listen to successful writers.”

Sarah said, “thirty-five years is a long time for a conference to have run and still be running. [This year is] special in that some of the writers who participated in the very first years of the conference are coming back now for the 35th anniversary.”

Tobias Wolff spoke at the first conference, and Richard Ford spoke at the second.

Both are returning in 2020 to commemorate the conference’s thirty-fifth anniversary.

Sarah Vause said, “this year we are dedicating the conference to Alan Cheuse, who

was a longtime contributor to the conference. He was killed in a car accident five years ago after he was here for the 30th anniversary.”

Sarah continued, “It's an opportunity for us to remember some of the people like Alan Cheuse who came before, but also to recognize that this conference continues to have a lot of meaning for a lot of students and a lot of the universities that come every year and continue to come every year.”

Sarah Vause encouraged those who are interested in presenting to apply to the National Undergraduate Literature Conference in 2020.

The conference will be held on March 25 through March 28 in 2020 at Weber State University. The website states that submissions for abstracts opened Oct. 1, 2019, and close Jan. 15, 2020.

Initially aiming to honor Native American Heritage Month, Weber State University hosted Sessions on the Ledge on Nov. 6. However, due to a lack of performance participation, coordinators scrambled to entertain the WSU community.

“The biggest challenge is scheduling,” said Vladimir Robles, Sessions on the Ledge coordinator. “You will always have something in mind – like, ‘I need to get this person,’ and you think it is going to go through. When you message them, they don’t have time and say they aren’t able to do it.”

Robles didn’t give up and found Isaac Schraedel, a pianist and WSU student.

Schraedel was excited to perform in front of his fellow students and didn’t hesitate when he received the invitation to play for Sessions on the Ledge.

While Robles was expecting only a piano performance, it ended up being more.

Robles had students who performed solos and duets providing a musical treat for students.

Robles said it was eye-opening for him to learn about the arts. He enjoys seeing what people have worked hard for and the reasoning behind what they do. He wasn’t the only one who enjoyed the event.

“Weber State students loved it,” Robles said. “After Sessions on the Ledge, I had people come up to me saying, ‘That was a great event. I loved hearing the music; I loved hearing the instrumentals, I loved

hearing jazz.’”

Schraedel played a variety of tunes, including classical, jazz and modern. Much of his inspiration came from the gospel and his background as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

He had been playing the piano since he was 11 years old.

“When I was young, I didn’t focus that much,” Schraedel said. “I just … messed around played stuff I wanted to play whether my teacher wanted me or not, so I was … a difficult child, but I just grew in love with the piano.”

Schraedel said he found his purpose in life through the gospel.

“His teachings have brought me joy and peace, and I just have a better sense of why I am here and how to help people,”

Earn your BSN in less time

Schraedel said.

Robles believes Sessions on the Ledge provides an opportunity for students to explore new things.

“It’s important not just for me, it’s important for the students to branch out of their shells and watch these performances and acknowledge, ‘Wow, there’s this kind of club here at Weber State University that I can attend; this is something that fits my personality,’” Robles said.

Robles encourages students to come out to Sessions on the Ledge and potentially be the next performer. The event aims for students to share their talents and connect within the campus community.

championship teams, and I wanted to be a part of something that changes the program now and for the future.”

Coming out of Lincoln Christian High School, two universities approached Power: Weber State, a division one program, and Augustana University, a division two school in South Dakota.

“I took a chance coming to Weber State,” Power said. “I had never been outside of Lincoln.”

Still, in just her junior year, Power has a lot left to play for, including many more assists to tally onto her ongoing WSU record.

“It’s been an amazing few years,” Power said. “We barely made it my freshman year, and now we are contending for a Big Sky Championship.”

Power and the Wildcats return home Nov. 21 and 23 to wrap up the regular season with Montana and Montana State.

In just her junior year, setter Ashlyn Power set a Weber State University volleyball team record with 3,242 assists in their conference win over the Idaho State Bengals Nov. 5.

The Lincoln, Nebraska native had no idea she was closing in on the record that stood for 35 years, but with her 51 assists against the Bengals, Power became the new Wildcat leader.

“I hadn’t been paying attention to the record,” Power said. “We got in the shuttle to the car rental place in Greeley, and one of my teammates saw the post on Instagram and I was like, ‘Hey!’” Power averages 41.5 assists per match and currently has 998 assists on the season.

Power was born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska and when it came time to decide on a university, she knew she want-

ed to get out and experience something new.

“I knew I wanted to get away and play at the highest level I was offered,” Power said. “I choose Weber because I … liked the coaches, the girls and what the program is trying to build.”

Power began her playing career in 2017 as a true freshman playing in 107 sets, which led to her recording 20 or more assists in 28 different matches, including 60 assists in two separate events.

The ’Cats finished 9-20 overall and 7-9 in the conference, barely making it into the Big Sky Tournament.

In 2018, Power competed in 107 sets and set a new career-high in assists with 62 on Oct. 30, 2018 against the Bengals.

She finished the season with 1,150 assists and helped lead the Wildcats to a third-place finish with a 13-5 record in conference.
