An unexpected passing

David Pollack, a 58 yearold adjunct professor of philosophy, passed away in a University classroom on Oct. 6. The cause of his death has not been determined, but authorities have indicated that there were no signs of foul play.

Pollack earned a bachelor’s degree in history from Columbia University and later received a master’s degree in economics and philosophy from Oxford University.

Pollack taught at many other local colleges and universities, in addition to SLU. Since 2009, Pollack has taught the SLU course “Ethical Considerations on Cli-

Theodore Vitali, chair of the Department of Philosophy, stated Pollack was “deeply, morally and spiritually committed to the wellbeing of the planet.” He said Pollack’s goal was to bring a moral dimension to climate change. Vitali further commented on the perspective that Pollack approached his teaching with, saying he had “great vigor and enormous intellectual rigor.”

that non-violence did not require the absence of anger. His grandfather taught him that anger should not be suppressed or denied in the search for non-violent conflict resolutions. Instead, anger demands a commitment to finding solutions to the

problematic issues. Without anger, Gandhi explained, humans wouldn’t function; they would not be able to find solutions to problems See “Gandhi” on Page 3

“

On Oct. 4, St. Louis University students listened to Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, explain his views on the meaning and power of true non-violence. Hosted by the SLU Hindu Student Community and the Interfaith Alliance, Gandhi spoke of the lessons he learned during his time with his grandfather, and of their prevalence in today’s increasingly violent world.

Gandhi began by sharing that non-violence had not always been his personal philosophy. Raised in South Africa during the apartheid era, Gandhi was frequently subjected to physical violence due to his race. He adopted the “eye for an eye” view of justice and began physical training in order to be able to exact revenge on his opponents. It was then, he said, that his parents decided time spent living in India with his grandfather Mahatma would help him learn the true meaning of justice and non-violence.

‘Tastes’ series stops by Saudi Arabia

Tastes: SLU students celebrated Saudi culture at the Center for Global Citizenship.

By JACKIE STACHIW Staff Writer

On the afternoon of Monday, Oct. 6, Saint Louis University students entered

the Center for Global Citizenship for a little taste of Saudi Arabia. The event, hosted by the Office of International Services and SLU’s Saudi students, is part of the Cultural Tastes series. Each

month, SLU international students will share samples of food, drinks, and pictures from their home country to expose the campus community to diversity.

Claire Boxdorfer, a re-

cent transfer, commented, “Seeing SLU host different cultures and people from all over the world is exciting.

Fostering a community of inclusion is what drew me into SLU.” This cultural taste was particularly important because it celebrated Eid-alAdha, the biggest Muslim holiday of the year. Marked by festivity, friendship and food, the holiday celebrates the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son, Ishmael. Dressing in their finest clothing, families pray and listen to mosque sermons and may symbolically sacrifice an animal.

Saudi students welcomed the SLU community to their celebration for an unexpected afternoon event. At the entrance, Saudi students See “Saudi Arabia” on Page 3

Old Mines, new direction As a dialect disappears, a town turns to song

Old Mines: The Fall Festival included many celebratory activities including music and dancing and was a way for the people to embrace their French heritage.

By TIM WILHELM Staff Writer

Sixty miles from Saint Louis University’s campus, a near-extinct dialect of French heralded autumn’s arrival. On Sunday, Oct. 5, the Old Mines Historical Society held its annual Fall Festival (Fête de l’Automne) across from Washington State Park, in De Soto, Mo. The festival is an opportunity for the local community to celebrate the region’s rich

French heritage with food, music, dancing and history.

The festival began with the raising of the Spanish, French and American flags, the three nations that occupied the old Louisiana Territory. Old Mines resident Doris Ann Bequette sang “La Marseillaise,� after which the festivalgoers sang “The Star Spangled Banner.� The ceremony ended with the exclamation, “Laissez les bons temps rouler!� Let the good times roll!

Shortly after, the main at-

traction took the stage: Dennis Stroughmatt et l’Esprit CrĂŠole, a folk band which seeks to keep the Creole musical tradition alive. The songs they played—“Isabelle se promène (Isabelle Goes Strolling),â€? “Grand-mère se plaint (Grandma’s Complaining),â€? “Old Man Lachance,â€? “Toute chose du cochon c’est bonne (Every Part of the Hog is Good)â€? and “J’ai passĂŠ devant ta porte (I Passed by Your Door)â€?— boast roots extending back centuries from France, Que-

bec, Louisiana and settlements along the Mississippi. As the jaunty notes of Stroughmatt’s fiddle played over the crowd, dancers of all ages took the stage.

Men and women in 19th century garb demonstrated traditional sewing and basket weaving techniques; volunteers sold chicken-anddumplings, French sausage, croquignoles (a doughnutlike pastry) and cider; and Pat Moore, editor of the Old Mines Historical Society’s quarterly publication

posing more students to different ways of life. Cultural Taste events draw roughly 300 members of the SLU community and are open to all. The events are a great chance to bring a wide range of the community members together each month to celebrate and learn with each other.

Rosenkranz ended by saying that events like these allow all students, domestic and international, to engage with and learn from each other.

The event provided a variety of Saudi foods, including coffee, tea, dates, desserts, and candy, for students to try. The event also incorporated traditional music and images from Saudi Arabia for students to experience the Saudi culture in-depth.

Boxdorfer added, “The amount of food and information at this event [was] mind blowing. I learned what EidAl-Adha was and even more importantly, I learned to appreciate it.” Before the event, Boxdorfer knew little about Saudi Arabia and Muslim holidays.

International Counselor Annie Rosenkranz helps coordinate the events. For the Taste of Saudi Arabia, she worked closely with SLU’s Saudi student community.

She added, “Many students contributed to hosting this great event. Walaa Ashmeg took a lead in coordinating the participation and efforts of many student participants by locating restaurants in the St. Louis area that provide foods that taste like home, to provide clothing, informational pamphlets, posters, music,

and institute change. He emphasized the value of thinking critically about our anger, and using it constructively to solve problems.

“Anger is like electricity; just as useful and just as powerful, but only if we use it intelligently. It can be just as deadly and destructive if we abuse it. So, just as we channel electrical energy, and bring it into our lives, and use it for the good of humanity, we must learn to channel anger in the same way so that we can use that energy for the good of humanity, rather than cause death and destruction.”

Gandhi stressed, “The only way to understand nonviolence is to understand the violence itself.” He explained that when people think of violence, they think only of physical violence.

However, passive violence is

equally important. Gandhi stated, “Passive violence … fuels the fire of physical violence.” He urged students to acknowledge the ways individuals can commit passive acts of violence in everyday life. Gandhi used the example of being wasteful with products that require natural resources; these acts commit violence against the earth. Overconsumption of these goods and products condemns others to poverty, thus committing violence against humanity. Gandhi challenged students to be aware of this violence, stating, “You can’t switch it on and off at will. You have to make it part of your life. If we don’t recognize the weaknesses in ourselves, we can never remedy them.”

Gandhi closed with an old story from his grandfather.

In the story, an ancient king was presented with a single grain of wheat as the answer

to his question, “What is the true meaning of peace?” He consulted a wise sage about the meaning of the wheat, and received this response: “If you keep this grain locked up in a gold box it will eventually perish without providing nourishment or multiplying. However, if it is allowed to interact with the elements … it will flourish, multiply and soon you would have a whole field of wheat, which will nourish not only you, but so many others.

This is the meaning of peace.

It must nourish your soul and the souls of others. It must multiply by interacting with the elements.”

Gandhi offered this story as a way to urge SLU students to use their talents to spread peace. Keep peace locked away in your heart for selfish reasons, Gandhi said, and it dies with you- but when shared with others, the whole world benefits.

Inauguration: Pestello accepts honored position Continued from Page 1

Javier Muro de Nadal / Stafff Photographer

Pestello: SLU’s new president gave an inaugural address at the ceremony after being formally initiated.

The event was SLU’s first inauguration ceremony since 1987. It began with a formal prelude by the St. Louis Metropolitan Ensemble and an academic procession of various stakeholders and speakers, including the Inaugural Committee, Pestello, Interim President Bill Kauffman and SLU’s Board of Trustees.

“Today, I get to be an active participant in making history at this university as we inaugurate Saint Louis University’s first permanent lay president, Dr. Fred Pestello,” said Joe Adorjan, chairman of SLU’s Board of Trustees.

Adorjan was the last of many stakeholders to speak at the ceremony before the official investiture and inaugural address of Pestello.

He presented Pestello with two symbolic items on behalf of the University: the Chain of Office, to represent the president’s leadership

position, and the University Mace, to represent SLU’s independence from external influence. The acceptance of these symbols was followed by the address, which Pestello began by humbly and tearfully thanking his family.

“One lesson I learned long ago is that little of significance is ever accomplished alone,” said Pestello in addressing his wife, Fran, and her support. He also comically remarked on enjoying the attentiveness he was receiving from his two children, Vitina and Freddie, during his speech.

Pestello’s address touched on the many positive and inspiring aspects that a university exemplifies and the extraordinary achievements that can occur at an educational institution.

“Our unquenchable thirst for truth, our deep longing to understand, causes us to ponder, speculate, and wonder,” said Pestello. “This stirring within our minds and

hearts is what it means to be human ... The university is a place where this unceasing quest is rigorously and systematically pursued.”

Speaking to SLU’s Jesuit identity, Pestello addressed the University’s faith-based mission and the history of the Jesuit education’s focus on justice. He quoted the school’s mission statement, saying that the result of the education that SLU provides is one that allows students to not only be successful in their careers but to also lead more meaningful and purposeful lives.

“In the Jesuit tradition, our work is directly linked to the world in which we live and learn,” Pestello stated. “Thus, we who are Saint Louis University forge a path that serves a higher purpose by contributing to the greater good.”

The new president discussed SLU’s history, from its establishment by Bishop DuBourg in the 1800s, to

its encounters with anti-Catholicism mobs, to its international expansion and campus development in Madrid.

Pestello also touched on the University’s historical development of the first lay board of trustees at a Catholic institution and the school’s many educational expansions and advancements.

Pestello then touched on the future of the University and what must be addressed in order for the school to successfully move forward.

He said that the community needs to address the questions of what the university must become, how it can remain affordable while improving educational quality, and how it can do more for and with its neighbors. Pestello said he seeks to find answers to these questions with the University in the weeks to come.

“Our next step forward begins today,” said Pestello.

“Higher purpose. Greater good.”

Graydon a needed spark in win over Atlantic 10 opponent St. Bonaventure conference match

By KALEE GOTSACKER Staff Writer

Despite career-high saves from junior Hanna Benben, and goals from sophomore Kirsten Clemens and junior Livi Logan-Wood, the Billikens fell to the Dayton Flyers on Saturday, Oct. 4, in overtime.

The two teams came together for the Atlantic 10 Conference opener at Baujan Field in Dayton, Ohio. The Flyers, the defending regular-season champion with a record of 4-6-1, did not let Saint Louis get too far ahead after a goal from Clemens, assisted by sophomore Danielle Tolmais and senior Lindsay Elking at 9:08. The Flyers responded almost immediately, 11 seconds later with a goal by

Alexis Kiehl, assisted by Ashley Campbell.

Clemens’ score was her sixth of the season, putting her in the team lead for individual goals.

Logan-Wood brought a counter-attack at 38:04 with an assist from Tolmais and sophomore Cristina Rodriguez to make the score 2-1 at half time. With this onepoint advantage, the Billikens sought to bring home another win, like the one they clinched against the University of Nebraska-Omaha the week prior. They defeated the Omaha Mavericks 4-2, scoring two goals in the second half.

The No. 6 Billikens kicked off their Atlantic 10 conference schedule against the 1-50 St. Bonaventure on Sunday, Oct. 5. Saint Louis University had some time to recover after their 3-1 loss to the Indiana Hoosiers last Wednesday be-

fore taking the field for their first conference matchup.

Dominating the first half in possession, the Billikens had multiple scoring opportunities early on, with nothing to show for their efforts. This included 15 shots on goal for the period. A break came in the 13th minute when Fran-

cisco Vizcaino crossed from the right side of the field to Kingsley Bryce, who crushed the ball into the back of the net from six yards out. Bryce described how the team took the advice that Coach Michael McGinty gave them after the game against Indiana and applied it to this game,

specifically, “getting behind them [the opposing team] and going at them and attacking them.”

The Saint Louis women’s volleyball team slumped to their first A-10 Conference losses this season as they lost 3-1 to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), and 3-2 to conference newcomer Davidson College. The losses dropped SLU to a 2-2 record in the A-10 and a 12-6 record overall.

SLU took on VCU at home on Friday, Oct. 3 . After both teams opened the game evenly, with a 6-6 score in the first set, VCU went on a 14-2 run that resulted in a 20-8 lead.

VCU quickly won the set 2512.

The second set was closer, but VCU still managed to take a 2-0 lead. After SLU tied the set at 20-20, VCU scored five straight points to take the second set 25-20.

The Billikens came out strong after the break following the conclusion of the second set, jumping out to an 8-2 lead. Eventually, VCU whittled down this lead, and managed to tie the set at scores of 21 and then 24. However, the Billikens managed to score the next two points to take the set 26-24.

JEER

The Billikens opened the fourth set with a 9-5 lead, but both stayed within two points of each other until SLU took a 24-21 lead. At this point, SLU failed to take advantage of five set points, while the bench picked up a yellow card. VCU eventually won the set 30-28, taking the entire match.

Despite the home loss, freshman Nenye Okoro turned in a solid performance, with a team-high 19 kills and a .359 hitting percentage. Okoro also managed four service aces. In addition to Okoro, junior Meredith Boe carried the team with a

team-high of 35 assists and 13 digs.

Sunday, Oct. 5 SLU took on Davidson, a new team this year in the A-10 conference.

The Billikens raced out to a two set lead, but fell in five sets.

In the first set, the Billikens recovered from a 13-9 hole to score 6 straight points at the end of the set, to win it 25-21. The second set proved to be all SLU as the Billikens won by 16 points, 25-9, and led the entire way.

However, momentum changed after the break. Adjustments by Davidson led

to a 25-20 third set victory for the Wildcats, and a 25-23 fourth set victory to tie the match at 2-2.

The fifth set proved a close affair as SLU and Davidson were tied 15 times total throughout the set. , In the end, however, Davidson pulled out a close 18-16 victory in the fifth set to win the match, their third win overall this season.

In the loss, four Billikens posted double-figure kills, including junior Megan Gilbert, freshman Josie Gandall, freshman Lauren Leverenz, and Okoro. Boe provided a team-

high 49 assists. Junior Anna Church, Gandall, and Okoro all had double-digit digs.

Next up for the Billikens is an East Coast stint that includes two away matches at George Washington University and George Mason University. GWU has an overall record of 12-4, and is ranked second in the A-10 with a 3-0 record, while George Mason is 1-2 in the A-10, with a 5-11 overall record. The Bills will be returning home during midterms week for three straight home contests, beginning with Indiana State on Oct. 14.

On the men’s side, several athletes stand out. Senior Stephen Hansen was the first male swimmer for SLU to earn gold consecutively in A-10 Championships, winning the 100-yard breaststroke for the second time last year with a school-record time of 54.66.

He also set the SLU record for the 200-yard breaststroke at 2:01.52 the same meet.

Meanwhile, senior Zach Billingsley tops the chart for freestyle sprints; at last year’s A-10 meet, his 20.50 in the 50yard, 44.55 in the 100-yard, and 19.51 split time in the 200-yard relay earned him three spots in the SLU record books.

Season so far

Despite being only three meets into the season, the Billikens show promise. Both the men and women’s teams topped Washington University in the opening meet on Friday, Sept. 26, winning 131-112 on the women’s side and 13899 on the men’s. Two days later at the Butler Invitational in Fishers, Ind., both teams racked up four wins apiece in dual meets, with the women suffering one loss as well.

The men defeated Western Illinois, Evansville, Valparaiso and Xavier, while the women topped Butler, Western Illinois, Valparaiso, and Xavier before falling to Evansville. And on Friday, Oct. 3, both teams took fifth place out of 11 schools in the “Show-me Showdown”, hosted by Mizzou in Columbia.

Though this season’s A-10 Conference Championships aren’t until Feb. 18, the Billikens will be participating in 12 different meets over the next five months in preparation for the finals. SLU will be hosting three of these meets at home in the Simon Rec Center: University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Lincoln College and Maryville are coming Oct. 17-18, William Jewell and Bellarmine arrive Jan. 9-10, and Western Illinois will be in town for the final regular-season meet on Jan. 31. Another date to mark down is Dec. 4-6, when the Billikens head to Greensboro, NC, for the USA Swimming Winter Nationals, their most competitive meet of the season.

The Billikens have a lot to live up to this year, if they want to repeat last year’s success. The men’s team won, or took first place, in nine out of their 12 regular season meets, while the women had 7 victories in 12 meets.

At the A-10 Conference Championship meet, SLU’s men took fifth place and the women wound up tenth. A total of 26 SLU records were broken that weekend, and the men’s 200-yard medley relay and 200-yard freestyle teams broke previous A-10 records, taking third in each event. Two Billikens topped the podium, with Seniors Morgan Peterson winning gold for the women in the 200-yard breaststroke and Stephen Hansen repeating as A-10 Champion in the men’s 100-yard breaststroke.

Junior goalkeeper Hanna Benben recorded a career-high nine saves in the loss against Dayton on Saturday, Oct. 4. Benben has started all 11 games so far this season, and started and played in 18 games last season.

Benben has 49 saves on the season, the eighth most in the Atlantic 10. Her 49 saves give her an average of 4.45 per game, good for a save percentage of 0.738.

Benben and the Saint Louis defense average just 1.62 goals against per game.

Saturday, Oct. 4 Dayton Billikens

SPORTS

Dayton following halftime, giving her a career-high of nine saves for a game.

Although the Billikens led for most of the second half, Dayton’s Meghan Blank (assisted by Sidney Leroy) headed in a goal at 81:57 to take the game into overtime.

At 92:01 Kiehl scored again, her fourth this year, from an assist off of Blank to end the game just two minutes into overtime.

The Billikens’ record currently stands at 5-6, and with

the loss to Dayton, they move to 0-1 in the Atlantic 10. They lead the A-10 Conference in shots per game (17.80) and corner kicks per game (6.20).

This Friday, Oct. 10, the team takes on George Mason in Virginia at 6:00 PM Central Time. The game will be available on the Atlantic 10 Conference website. The team plays the last of three straight road games on Sunday, Oct. 12 against Saint Joseph’s in Philadelphia, Penn. before returning home to face Fordham and La Salle at Hermann the following week.

missed their mark in the 13th and 18th minutes of the game. Graydon’s persistency would finally payoff when he assisted Robert Kristo’s goal in the 25th minute. Kristo’s athletic header would give him his eighth goal of the season, sending the Billikens up 2-0 with 20 minutes left in the period.

Kristo critiqued his performance after the game explaining that he felt that he was not as critical, or as focused in front of the goal as he should have been, which resulted in two missed opportunities.

Graydon’s playing time would soon come to an end, due to a yellow card in the 32nd minute that resulted in his substitution for freshman Patrick Sarr. This rather controversial call would give Graydon his fourth yellow card in recent games, which forced Coach McGinty to pull him out for fear that a fifth yellow would be issued.

This fifth yellow would require Graydon to miss the next two games of the season against A-10 Conference opponents Davidson College and George Mason University. Not only are these crucial conference games against tough opponents, these matchups fall only one day apart requiring the Billikens to have all their weapons ready.

Head coach Mike McGinty commented on the call stating, “It is disappointing because it changed a lot of things for us. He’s getting kicked all over the field and there are no calls or yellow cards on their side, but some-

how the first time he puts his foot near the ball he gets a yellow card.”

Graydon is smaller than most other players at 5’5” and only 140 pounds.

Coach McGinty would later say how such tackles are tricky calls, as referees do not intentionally try to change the game for a team.

The first half ended with a score of 2-0 and four saves for Bonnie goalkeeper Jeremy Figler. Both teams exchanged possession for most of the second half, but neither could find a weakness in the defense to exploit.

The physicality of the game would give the Billikens a penalty kick in the 62nd minute when Bryce was fouled in the penalty box.

Anthony Manning would take the penalty kick and barely slide the ball past the keeper, whose fingertips grazed the shot. This 3-0 lead would hold through the rest of the 90 minutes.

One notable aspect of the game was the amount of substitutions and new faces on the field for the Billikens. Freshman Sarr entered the game for Graydon and would play for 30 minutes, while freshman David Geerling would play for the final four minutes of the game.

Other substitu-

tions included William Hidalgo, Julian Gieseke, and Josh Kohring. After this win, the Billikens will continue their A-10 schedule by traveling to A-10 newcomer No. 3 Davidson on Friday, Oct. 10 and will only have Saturday to recover before Sunday’s game at George Mason.

Davidson is coming off a loss to Dayton by a score of 2-0 and currently have a record of 5-1-2. George Mason sits at 7-1-2 and will face Virginia and Dayton before playing the Billikens on Oct. 11.

High praise for ‘Bus Stop’ Polished performance in Xavier Hall

Eric Woolsey / Contributor ‘Bus Stop’: Sophomore Anna Liu and senior Sarah Griffith perform in the theatre program’s first production of the year.

Excitement was in the air at Xavier Hall on Friday night, as the Saint Louis University Theatre Company debuted their first main stage production of the year: “Bus Stop,” written by American playwright William Inge and directed by Sarah Whitney.

Smiling faces of welldressed theatre students welcomed the public as they shuffled in, with many members of the production team eager with pride for the first audience to see their finished product. Parents, alumni, students and friends alike all crowded the hallway in front of the theatre before the performance, mingling in anticipation of seeing the SLU theatre program’s latest effort.

It is a portrait of a perfect marriage: the doting, strong husband and the beautiful, intelligent wife. They may seem perfect from the outside, but what happens in the intimate crevices of a marriage behind close doors?

In “Gone Girl”, Nick Dunne returns home on his fifth wedding anniversary to discover his wife, Amy, has gone missing. Her disappearance causes great concern among the residents of Cape Girardeau, Mo. Amy is an important figure due to the fact her parents fictionalized her as a child prodigy in a popular book series. With growing pressure from the police and media frenzy, the fingers

The play, which at its core is about understanding love, truly shines in its interactions between characters. This is a feat that was not easily accomplished, according to sophomore Andy Southern O’Brien, who played Dr. Gerald Lyman in the show – a middle-aged teacher with self-loathing issues and an affinity for young women matched only by his affinity for alcohol.

Free art featured on First Fridays

By ABBEY NORTON Staff Writer

This past Friday, the first in October, I chose to venture to the Grand Center Art Galleries to attend First Fridays. During the first Friday of every month, six Grand Center district art galleries are open free to the public, from 5 to 9 p.m. The Bruno David Gallery, the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, the Museum of Contemporary Religious Art, the Saint Louis University Museum of Art, the Sheldon Art Galleries and the Pulitzer Arts Foundation each participate.

All are within walking distance of campus, and it is worth the trip to witness many beautiful pieces of art.

Of the six galleries, my personal favorite was the Sheldon Art Galleries. The first level of the gallery was composed of various photographs from the 20th century that demonstrate what life was like in St. Louis. The second floor, my favorite, had galleries of children’s art, photography, country music artists and paintings by artist Barbara

Holtz. The first half of the gallery consisted of Holtz’s work, ranging from paintings of her father and mother to gorgeous landscapes. The next section of the gallery had both photographs of children and drawings done by children themselves.

Another gallery contained photographs from country singer Marty Stuart’s mother, Hilda Stuart. This gallery focused on the Stuarts’ life, and especially Marty as a child.

However, my favorite section was the Gallery of Music. This gallery had photographs of country stars, in addition to their personal items, such as clothing and boots. Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Marty Stuart, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn and Willie Nelson were all represented. To top it off, there was a Marty Stuart concert at 8 p.m. in the Sheldon Concert Hall.

All in all, I would rate this First Friday five out of five stars. It was a night full of rich culture and new experiences that I am glad I was able to enjoy. I highly encourage you to go to the next First Friday, which will be Nov. 7.

Author and screenwriter Gillian Flynn’s beloved novel was devoured by millions and quickly rose to the top of the New York Times Best Sellers List. Many fans were uneasy when they heard the book would become a film.

Rest assured, there was no better man for this job than director David Fincher.

Fincher makes the mysterious maze of “Gone Girl” into nothing short of a masterpiece. The film fits perfectly amongst Fincher’s other notable works, including “Fight Club”, “Seven”, and “The Social Network”.

There’s an old saying that states, “If you’ve got it, flaunt it.” Tucked away on Manchester Avenue, between Kingshighway Boulevard and Vandeventer Avenue, is The Grove - one of the most flaunt-worthy communities in St. Louis.

Whatever “it” is, The Grove certainly has it. Diverse restaurants? Yep. Expressive art murals? Absolutely.

Crazy nightlife? You bet.

A proud and supportive area for the local LGBT community, cycling advocates and independent thinkers? Check yes to all of the above.

With an atmosphere this rad, it seemed only appropriate that an entire day should be spent flaunting this neighborhood and all of its glory. Thus, Grove Fest was born. This free, annual, all-day affair celebrates everything that makes The

Grove undeniably awesome.

Grove Fest has won Best Public Event Planning and Best Event Entertainment Concept awards from the International Special Events Society (ISES), and it is known for its diverse festival offerings, with this year’s event upholding that reputation.

Last Saturday welcomed the ninth annual Grove Fest to St. Louis, bringing with it a hodgepodge of entertainment and activities for attendees.

Folks could grab a bite to eat from local food establishments such as Atomic Cowboy or Taha’s Twisted Tiki, and Urban Chestnut Brewing Company even introduced “Honey Grove,” a Vienna Honey Lager exclusively created for Grove Fest.

Westerfeld writes dynamic plot in ‘Afterworlds’

By KATHERINE KELLIHER Associate Arts Editor

Scott Westerfeld’s “Afterworlds” should be put on your ‘books to read’ list. This book is composed of fresh details, eccentric characters and a distinguished plot.

Westerfeld interconnects the lives of two different characters, one with supernatural powers and the other one living her dream in New York City, without falling into a hole of tackiness and cliché phrases.

“Afterworlds” depicts the dynamic lives of Lizzie and Darcy Patel, who have each obtained a sudden and drastic lifestyle change.

The novel’s tagline sets the basis for the theme of the novel. “Darcy writes the words. Lizzie lives them.”

Westerfeld alternates chapters between the two characters. This writing style helps the reader draw

parallels between the story lines.

Darcy is an average teenage girl who is preparing for her first year of college. The kicker is that she has a published novel, entitled ‘Afterworlds’, and has decided to defer college for a year to promote her novel and live the glamorous life of an author in New York City.

However, it is not long before Darcy realizes that this life is not everything she had hoped.

She struggles with ‘fitting in’ with the adult world at the naive age of eighteen. The sleepless New York City lifestyle,

jousting shenanigans, throw themselves against a Velcro wall, or kick back and enjoy live fashion shows featuring local talent. Live musical performances showcased a varied collection of terrific tunes in two locations, the Urban Chestnut Brewing Company stage and an outdoor stage set up at the entrance of the festival on Manchester Avenue.

The Urban Chestnut Brewing Company stage featured performances from Spaceship, Fly Moon Royalty, DJ Mahf, and even showcased some hulahooping talent. The outdoor stage on Manchester featured performances from Ragged Blade Band, Old Capital Square Dance Club, DJ Alan Ray and more.

Plus, local art vendors set up shop along the street as festivalgoers strolled down Manchester Avenue and perused everything Grove Fest had to offer.

Additionally, attendees were also given the opportunity to participate in a beloved Grove Fest tradition - creating a large paint-by-numbers mural.

An impressive collection of public art murals currently

decorate many buildings throughout the Grove, highlighting its artistic and eclectic atmosphere that make it such a unique area of St. Louis. This year’s annual paint-by-number mural was created on the side of The Gramophone and was appropriately hosted by The Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis, the area’s largest annual funder of the arts.

This nonprofit organization seeks to, “promote, encourage and foster the arts and cultural institutions in St. Louis City and County,” as their website (www.racstl. org) states. This year’s paintby-numbers mural certainly gave a nod to that artistic mission, along with adding to the celebration of the recent launch of their STL Arts app. This comprehensive calendar app, courtesy of The Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis, lists local arts and culture events such as Grove Fest and helps promote St. Louis as a thriving arts community.

Actually, it might be a good idea to download this app so you can go ahead and add the 10th annual Grove Fest to your calendar for next year. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience in a one-of-akind neighborhood that you just can’t miss.

Fincher brings the twists and turns of the story to life.

the profession, while struggling with her own identity as a teenage girl. Westerfeld’s description and dialogue between Darcy and NYC authors should provide a few laughs for the reader.

Lizzie is the main character in Darcy’s book, ‘Afterworlds.’ Her story line begins when she is witness to a terrorist attack. During this experience, she discovers she has a supernatural talent; she can interact with deceased spirits.

Lizzie earns attention when it is discovered she is only survivor of the terrorist attack. Yet, she does not appreciate this distinguished title and does everything possible to feel normal again. Throughout the novel, Lizzie’s curiosity with the deceased world grows and she draws connections with certain spirits.

However, she is warned that “believing is dangerous” and not to let her connec-

tion with the spirits to take away from her current life on earth.

A young adult novel is not complete without some element of romance. Westerfeld portrays the characters’ awkward love lives in an amusing, yet relatable fashion for the reader.

“Afterworlds” is a fascinating read for several reasons. The author includes elaborate detail into Darcy’s thought process while creating Lizzie’s character. These details and descriptions help the reader understand the character of Lizzie on a different level. Darcy writes the character of Lizzie with emotions parallel to her own.

Westerfeld does well to create a piece of fiction with all of the winning elements of a successful young adult novel.

“Afterworlds” is amusing, dynamic and deserves to be placed on bookshelves everywhere.

seems important.

Fincher creates a memorable satire of the media in “Gone Girl”. At first, Nick (Ben Affleck) seems innocent. Yet, as the media picks him apart, the idea that he has killed Amy is planted into the audience’s heads.

Each character in the film is remarkably portrayed.

Most notably, Rosamund Pike’s performance as Amy will send chills down your spine. Pike’s precise characterization of Amy’s

psychotic personality is unnerving.

This film is a must see for those that have read the book, and even for those who are unfamiliar with the story.

Fincher’s creation will have you thinking about how dishonesty, financial troubles, and deceptive media play a role in our lives.

Gone Girl is a psychological thriller with so many mindblowing surprises you will be utterly speechless when the credits begin to role.

says O’Brien, “so it was difficult at first tracking where everybody was.” Little things such as knowing, “where the coats were ending up and where the hats were ending up” made the show challenging during rehearsals with such a prop heavy set, according to O’Brien. He admitted it was “a little stressful not knowing how well it would come together.”

However, the effort certainly paid off. While the characters were at some times long-winded and borderline cliché, their interactions with each other incited a sense of nostalgia for a time period long ago and managed to make each of the characters relatable in their own way. This was achievable in no small part, according to O’Brien, by being a “really well cast

The midterms are coming! The midterms are coming!

The UNews is coming to you, Paul Revere style, to discuss how you can defend yourself against the attack of the midterms.

Our editors talk about the tips they’ve used to survive this hellish week and come out mentally unscathed, ready to enjoy Fall Break. Get out your notebooks!

Several of our writers talked about the need to plan for study breaks to get your mind off of midterms, even if only for a minute. Ryan McKinley says, “One important aspect of surviving midterms is maintaining some semblance of balance to your life. Leave a couple hours in your week to relax with a friend, read for pleasure or enjoy fall coming to Forest Park. Try to turn everything off once or twice this week.”

Vivek fully agreed and added, “You should reward yourself for each study objective that you finish. For example, if you read that final chapter for the big psychology test, go ahead and relax for a bit, listen to some music, or go and eat some of your favorite food. Also, don’t forget to stay calm; Fall Break is just around the corner, and you will make it!”

Our two copy editors appropriately discussed the need for planning. Deirdre Kerins said, “Midterms can be really stressful if you don’t plan ahead for them. This is the one week when even procrastinators should get ahead of the game. Map out when tests, papers, projects, etc. are due. Then, plan to complete things accordingly, while factoring in other time commitments, and the anticipated amount of time it will take you to

finish.”

Joshua Connelly added another crucial planning tip: “The most important part of midterm week is to know which days each of your exams are. I can’t tell you how many friends I’ve had show up to class on exam days, thinking they were actually happening the next day.”

Sports editor, Casey Waughn, adds, “Make an exact schedule of your day, for each day of the week. Include when you have class, when you’ll study for each specific test and for how long, or when you’ll work on a project for a particular class.

This way you won’t be as prone to waste time or procrastinate.

Don’t forget to plan trips to the gym and study breaks to give your mind a break!”

Three more of our editors stress the importance of taking care of mind, body and spirit in various ways. Jessica Winter asks, “Is this midterm the defining point in your academic career –or possibly your life? Probably not, lets be honest. So just breathe, relax, and remember the bigger picture. If you’ve paid attention and you have healthy study habits, everything will be okay. Stressing yourself out too much will only result in bad test scores and tears – and no one likes a crier at midterms.”

Kyle Smith and John Schuler agree on the importance of bodily care, be it through nourishing meals, going to the gym or a warm shower or bed.

Get out, plan ahead, breathe and take care of yourself. You’ll survive the onslaught. We promise.

How to survive midterms

the Israeli government for inciting violence. That isn’t denigrating or demeaning to the Jewish people, it’s just one man criticizing the actions of a government.

However, this still makes us ask: “Why was this man allowed to come to SLU?” SLU Solidarity with Palestine, a student group at SLU whose official status is often in a state of flux, has had a multitude of difficulties in bringing in speakers that have criticized Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and Gaza or the actions of Israel’s government.

At the very least, we’re concerned that the University is extremely inconsistent when making decisions on who can and can’t come to SLU to speak.

While talking about the topic of which people (and what ideas) are generally allowed and not allowed to speak on this campus, we began talking about this University’s troubling history of not allowing people with openly pro-choice beliefs to speak on campus. Many of us, in our experiences, could recall a potential speaker being taken off the list by SLU because of their pro-choice beliefs. We find this blatant censorship frustrating. One can still be a University that espouses the right to life without stifling the voices of others that have opposing viewpoints.

We think the University could improve their handling of speakers with unpopular or contentious viewpoints by following new standards. Are the claims made by a potential speaker inciting violence or deemed hateful? If not, bring them in. For greater transparency too, this University should disclose to the student body who is not being allowed to speak at SLU and why.

Some transparency on future decisions could help end similar speculations and grievances against the University. Can a new administration bring consistency and transparency to this process? We hope so.

“ “

Who can speak at SLU? Last Saturday, the Hindu Student Committee and Interfaith Alliance hosted Arun Gandhi to speak at SLU’s campus and discussed the importance of service through nonviolence.

On Friday, Oct. 17, Gandhi is expected to return to campus to give another talk during the School of Social Work’s Social Justice Night.

At first glance, one can’t help but be excited that SLU was able to bring in the grandson of the Mohandas Gandhi, a man that seeks to continue spreading the words of nonviolence that his grandfather championed so effectively in his native India. We, as an editorial board staff, are a little skeptical of a man who’s greatest credentials are “grandson of Gandhi,” but we all acknowledge that the name is extremely important to bringing in students.

However, there is also a cause for concern that Arun Gandhi was allowed to come to SLU twice in two weeks in the first place. The reason for our concern surrounded comments that he made denigrating an entire ethnic group six years ago.

In 2008, Gandhi resigned from a New York peace center that he helped found after making demeaning comments about Israel and Jews more generally, stating that Israel and the Jews are the biggest players in a global culture of violence on a Washington Post forum.

So again we ask, why would SLU bring in a man that stated that Jews were responsible for a “global culture of violence?” We thought perhaps he, with his past statements, was able to slip through the cracks amidst a new administration; if that’s true, we’d recommend that SLU Google its prospective speakers before extending invitations.

Gandhi later apologized for his comments, stating he shouldn’t have implied that Israeli government policies reflected the views of all Jewish people. So now he is only criticizing

In one of the best songs – “Idiot Wind” – on one of the greatest albums of all time – “Blood on the Tracks” – Bob Dylan scolds, “Idiot Wi n d blowing every Paul Brunkhorst time you m o v e your mouth/ Blowing down the back roads headin’ south/ Idiot Wind, blowing every time you move your teeth/ You’re an idiot babe/ It’s a wonder that you still know how to breathe.” While this song involves Dylan lamenting a character’s false accusations (“They say I shot a man named Gray and took his wife to Italy…”), it can nonetheless be used to describe a current tragedy in the United States today: the “idiot winds” of our hyperpartisan and overly politicized culture. (This interpretation of “Idiot Wind” is acceptable, in my mind, due to the timeless nature of its album; this is real poetry).

Indeed, while most pundits already admit that we live in obnoxiously partisan times, several recent events hammer this point home—most notably the security breach involving an armed tres-

their legitimate concern for the president, but they also know that such scrutiny could add to the public’s negative views (Have you seen opinion polls lately?) on the Obama administration’s competency in running the government. And the president is not about to publicly criticize those people necessary to his protection. As the New York Times article says, “Although the target of the legislative scrutiny is the Secret Service, not the president, the furor over security has left the White House on the defensive.” While this interpretation of the reaction to the breach is cynical, perhaps, the facts—and political realities of the situation—unfortunately point to its validity.

Perhaps the lapses in White House security are more rudimentary than people think. Maybe being a Secret Service agent is just a tough, taxing job. As an NPR report from Oct. 6 says, “The agency with the responsibility for protecting the president, vice president and their families rates in the bottom third of job satisfaction within the federal government.”

Perhaps the agents just need a vacation, but for now, we’re stuck with the usual idiot winds: politics and partisanship.

The promise and pitfalls of the new Beat The Beat mythology has returned. Beat culture was articulated in Bohemian circles , in New Yo r k , in the 1950s,

by Jack K e r ouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Roberta Singer B u r roughs a n d Neal Cassady. Theirs was an ideology premised on freedom and enlightenment, a mysticism of American highways and movement and radical individualism that ran counter to their hegemonic Cold War reality.

Theirs was going to be a revolution of poetry and exuberance that defied the typical, the suburban, the square—the words of those writers would inspire a generation to escape the void of “robot apartments,” “blind capitals,” “demonic industries,” and “monstrous bombs,” as Allen Ginsberg so vociferously phrased it in his poem “Howl” in 1956.

The emphasis on the liberating power of poetry has subsided, but the characters and the mythology has resurfaced in a series of films that were released over the past five years.

The first, an animated interpretation of “Howl,” told within the framework of its

1957 obscenity trial, stars James Franco as Allen Ginsberg. During the film, Franco yells, “O victory, we’re free!” against a backdrop of kids swinging to jazz music; images of his own tender homosexual affairs; and the tormented, impoverished, yet boldly ecstatic hipsters running through the streets of the city.

The second, a film adaptation of “On the Road,” the defining work of the Beat era, shows Sal Paradise, the alter-ego of the young Jack Kerouac. In the film, Paradise escapes the drudgery of Columbia University for a haphazard, freewheeling existence, traversing the liminal spaces between cities of Denver, San Francisco, New Orleans, in search of life and sex and some divine American essence that can only be discovered, it seems, by breaking with society.

He voices it distinctly in the trailer, “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like roman candles in the night.”

The last in the trilogy is “Kill Your Darlings,” somewhat of a biopic about the men’s early years at Columbia, the relationship between Ginsberg and another Beat personality, Lucian Carr, and the murder of his ex-lover.

Although the plot later fo-

cuses on the crime, the beginning is centered around Carr, Ginsberg and Kerouac’s attempt to create a “New Vision,” a new and emotive and spontaneous style of both writing and living that didn’t conform to the censored literature and romantic style of verse that was being taught in their classes. Henry Miller and Arthur Rimbaud would triumph over Longfellow.

Why resurface now? Although they never disappeared entirely from American culture, they have always inspired someone at some time to make their way West (the frontier still being of epic importance to our collective memory, something that doesn’t cease to tug at us at some point). Why the great resurgence of, if not their written words, at least their iconography?

There is uncertainty in the air, a suspicion of typical consumptive adulthood where the landmarks are not the arches of the Utah desert or the coves at Big Sur, but the escalating series of purchases and financial commitments—car, home, retirement plan—to which we enslave ourselves. We are watching our friends graduate and often sink into vacant jobs. We speak with our parents, who talk about having settled.

The heroes of the Beat mythology speak to an alternative; they give us a different way to be in the world that is potentially more risky and lacks the traditional dec-

orations of adulthood but offers instead a type of freedom and true investment in being that we have difficulty finding. Away from the comparatively gainful era of the 1990’s and early 2000’s, it seems entirely logical that these Beat-generation idols would resurface.

It’s important, though, to note the danger of this ideology as well. Aside from eliding the often troubled personal histories of the Beats, there is a deceit in the idea that merely by living a countercultural lifestyle that they are somehow participating in some kind of social change; truly, the type of society they so long for cannot possibly be accomplished by individual exhibitionist actions, but only though working on the level of policy and protest, a type of precise political activity that appears anathema to their aesthetic, which celebrates the self.

Their freewheeling adventures are also largely possible because they are white men, and were thus afforded mobility that people of color, and especially women, would not have had in 1950s America.

Still, the Beat ethic is not worth abandoning entirely.

There is a reason we idolize it now, and we could indeed all use an antidote to Ginsberg’s robot apartments and demonic industries, so long as we don’t get overly wrapped up in the false romanticism of the movement.
