Fathoming transgenerational trauma, from Bosnia to Bevo

By TIM WILHELM News Editor

Laura Kromjak, a Fleming International Visiting Fellow in the Center for International Studies, gave a lecture, “Undoing the Bosnian Genocide,” on Wed., April 15, in which she explored the interplay of trauma and identity within St. Louis’s Bosnian community.

Kromjak is a Hungarian Ph.D. student at the University of Graz in Austria.

Her dissertation on the Anglophone narrative of Bosnian genocide trauma has brought her, with the support of the Fleming Fund for Visiting Fellows, to the site of the largest Bosnian diaspora community in the world.

Too young to have any firsthand memories of the Bosnian war and genocide, Kromjak gleaned her early knowledge of it from television and the Internet. As a Hungarian, she said that she found herself at the crossroads of the war’s driving forces: a 50-year communist

regime and the notion of Balkanism. The latter, while a geographic designation, harbors a negative cultural connotation, as it refers to an “underdeveloped,” uneducated mentality, explained Kromjak. The term reveals longstanding opposition between East and West, the result of extensive cultural exchange under the AustroHungarian Empire.

“I feel very connected to these people,” she said, referencing encounters with the Croatian and Serbian populations of southern Hungary.

Her connection has a personal dimension. Kromjak’s father died in a car accident when she was 14. From this experience, she said, “I can understand what it means to construct yourself in the aftermath of tragedy.”

Bosnia’s genocidal war, which lasted from 1992 to 1995, displaced roughly one million people and killed nearly 100 thousand. Following a State Department decision on a refugee resetSee “Bosnia” on Page 3

supporting the trans community in the St. Louis area.

These groups include The Locker Room for trans masculine people, Fem Spec for those that identify as trans feminine, Expression Spectrum for those that identify as somewhere in between, also referred to as non-binary, and Transparent, an organization devoted to helping out the under 21 crowd of trans people and their families.

SGA: Religion and spirituality discussed that Campus Ministry has in the works to better address the spiritual needs of students who practice religions other than Catholicism. The Mass of the Holy Spirit, for instance, a staple beginningof-the-year event for Jesuit colleges nationwide, could be accompanied in the future by a spring celebration.

While Chawszczewski also mentioned Campus Ministry’s efforts to begin new mission trips – including one to El Salvador – in her presentation to the senators, she maintained that the goal of Campus Ministry is to help all students foster their faith lives – regardless of their religious tradition.

“When I came here, there were students from different faith groups who were afraid to come into Campus Ministry,” Chawszczewski said.

“And so, when I got here, that was one of my priorities; everybody should feel welcome, no matter where they are. If they are no faith at all, they may still have big questions.”

Bosnia: Navigating identity in the ‘transatlantic Sarajevo’ Continued from Page 1

tlement program, Bosnians sought refuge here in St. Louis, particularly in the Bevo Mill neighborhood.

The area offered affordable housing and entry-level jobs; the refugees, in turn revitalized the city’s socioeconomic landscape, said Kromjak.

While Bosnians have since settled into the area and established their own distinctive niche, issues of intergenerational trauma linger. In what she called a “Yugo-nostalgia,” St. Louis’s Bosnian youth have inherited their parents’ war memories. A trauma arises in which youth are separated from their Bosnian heritage, and their identities develop fluidly and irregularly. Citing Ben Moore, Fontbonne English professor, Kromjak said, “Many experience a sense of cultural homelessness.”

Kromjak presented a video of testimonies by friends from Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo and Bosnia. Speaking from kitchens, sidewalks and desks, they offered messages of hope and reflection interspersed with phrases in their native languages.

“If you ever have the time and the money, you should come visit us,” urged one woman. “You should come and see how beautiful the country where you come from is.”

Another woman asserted: “Maybe I am a war child, but I don’t want war to define me

as a war person.”

“Luckily, the war has not scarred me, but it has scarred my parents, my relatives and our whole community,” said one young man.

“We face the consequences of poor economic conditions that the war created,” said one business school graduate from Kosovo.

In an audio recording, the son and daughter of Bosnian parents described their return to Sarajevo. The girl recognized a playground where she had played as a child and recalled their mother making a dandelion crown; her brother retained a vivid memory of the snow.

Living in St. Louis, they experienced a generational and cultural dissonance, typical of their demographic. “They just want to make sure we remember where we’re from.

That’s the only thing,” said the girl.

Fontbonne University’s Bosnian Memory Project figured heavily in Kromjak’s lecture. “I’m trying to draw your attention to a moral imperative,” she said.

This would involve, she explained, deconstructing and documenting the trauma of those who fled Bosnia for Bevo. The Project tries to involve more young Bosnians from Affton High School to participate in the recording of oral histories, which are a source of empowerment, according to Kromjak.

Lastly, Kromjak focused on the aspect of “undoing” referenced in its title. “Genocide meets its opposite in life, in dialogue and community,” she said.

Art students craft creative pieces

‘Game of

McNamee Gallery unveils diverse talents

Thrones’:

By MEREDITH HARGIS Staff Writer

Art galleries are places of solitude and reflection. The McNamee Gallery, located on SLU’s campus, however, provides an additional dimension to the exhibit, with the knowledge that the creations are by fellow students.

It is a pleasure to view the work of peers. Open until April 24, the annual student art exhibit in the McNamee Gallery offers an example of the exemplary talents of SLU’s fine arts students.

SLU art students’ talents fill the room with both quiet profundity- found in a canvas painting titled “Pictures of People Named Patrick,”

by Cara Grace Kissell, and vibrant expression found in a painting titled “An Actress of Chinese Opera,” by Jingnan Zhang. There are some

self-portraits, some fantasythemed scenes, a few landscapes and religious-themed work, such as the striking painting “Crucifixion,” by Lacy Shreves, which provides an intimate perspective of Jesus on the cross.

The oil paintings on canvas, spaced throughout the gallery, are the most eyecatching due to their size and colors. The art is arranged to complement nearby works.

Arguably, the piece titled “Silver Linings,” by Emily Drenovsky, is the focal point of the gallery. Upon walking inside, it is impossible not to notice the piece’s landscape of trees with sunshine breaking through the clouds to reveal the bright, blue sky. The effect of the colors is both piercing and calming; it effectively portrays optimism and hope- like the title suggests.

Student art show: “Silver Linings,” by Emily Dreovsky (above), and “Pictures of People Named Patrick,” by Cara Grace Kissell (right), are two paintings displayed in McNamee Gallery as a part of the annual student art exhibition.

The exhibit includes paintings, graphic design and sculptures created by students in SLU’s Fine Arts Department.

The exhibit runs until April 24.

‘Strange Tails’ talks love and death

By KATHERINE KELLIHER Associate Arts Editor

Lord Huron’s new album, “Strange Trails,” speaks to the wanderer, traveler and dreamer. Lyrics detail stories of journeys, self-discovery and a search for the unknown. The 14-track album consists of songs conducive for any road trip or relaxing, reflective time.

The album plays beautifully with smooth transitions from each song to the next.

In order to properly do the album justice, it is important to listen to the whole album through, at least once.

While the sound throughout the album sounds quite similar to the band’s previous album, “Lonesome Dreams,” the quality writing and production remain.

A balance between upbeat sounds and mellow sounds complement the beautiful lyrics and vocals featured throughout the album. Atypical instruments, including bells and chimes, delicately accentuate the harmonious sounds of guitars and harmonicas. There is a definite presence of “love song” tracks included, but not accompanied by, for lack of a better term, “love song” melodies.

Examples of well-crafted lyrics throughout the album are the tracks “Hurricane” – “Oh little darling, don’t you like charming, here in the eye of a hurricane?”; “La Belle Fleur Sauvage” – “I’d give it all to love that girl”;

and “Frozen Pine” – “I’m ready to follow you even though I don’t know where.”

Certain must-listen-to tracks are “Cursed,” “La Belle Fleur Sauvage” and “Until the Night Turns.”

The band sings about a longing for love, but also a longing for identity, similar to their previous album.

Death also has a strong presence throughout the rather catchy album. It is fair to say that the band uses interesting details along the album, which is fitting to the album’s title. One track, “Dead Man’s Hand,” details a man’s journey back from the dead, a journey conducive to the concept of “strange trails.”

While the subject sounds strange, the track is worth a listen strictly because of the cool, indie sound and beautiful harmonies. Another unusual track is “The World Ender.” This song is unusual because of its sound and lyrics, which also speak about a return from the dead: “They took my life, but it isn’t the end, They put me in the ground but I’m back from the dead.” While some may interpret those lyrics as cryptic, the melodies and music mix well together to form a head-bopping tune.

A listen to the album may ignite feelings of wanderlust and deep reflection — typical of any Lord Huron album.

“Strange Trails,” released on April 7, 2015, is the band’s sophomore album.

For the past year, I have been watching “Parks and Recreation” on Netflix. It has not taken me that long to finish the series; I just watched the episodes over and over, starting over again at season one when I reached the end of the series. I never get tired of the characters, the jokes, or the town of Pawnee, Indiana, where it takes place.

Sure, Netflix would try to recommend other shows to me. There wasn’t much for it to base recommendations on, but it tried, “Portlandia,” “30 Rock,” “How I Met Your Mother.” These all teased me from my Netflix home page as I once again clicked “continue watching” on “Parks and Rec.” This weekend, I finally broke down and decided that I needed to get out of my rut and try something new. I began watching “The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” the new Netflix sitcom, created

by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock (“The Office”).

I heard mixed reviews of the show, but I have always liked Ellie Kemper (who plays Kimmy Schmidt) in “The Office,” and the premise of the series was just weird enough to draw me away from my usual routine.

The show begins immediately after four women are rescued from an underground bunker. They were captive for fifteen years, held

by Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne, who lured them to the bunker under the pretense the apocalypse was coming. The titular character, Kimmy, decides to start her life anew in New York City, where she moves

in with Tituss Andromedon, an aspiring actor.

Kimmy, now 29, is full of innocence as she tries to pull her life together again. She spouts lingo from the late 90s, when she was last living outside the bunker. Traces of her fourteen-year-old self show themselves in her everyday life. For example, during the pilot episode, she joyfully buys a pair of lightup sneakers and she wears her colorful backpack when she goes out dancing at a club with Titus.

However, this is clear: Although Kimmy is innocent and out of the loop, she is never dumb. The title of the show speaks to this theme.

Her resilience and hopeful nature give the show its charm and spunk. Kimmy decides to stay in New York, despite its challenges. She decides to rebuild her life, moving past her time in the bunker. She decides to continue her education, to give other people a chance and to stand up for herself. Kimmy is unbreakable.

Kemper’s performance is genuine; Kimmy could easily be annoying or trite, but the conviction with which Kemper plays the part makes her believable.

The fast-paced writing of the show is nothing new for fans of Tina Fey’s creations, but it still packs a punch. The show does get some laughs from gay stereotypes and racial caricatures, which is disappointing, but with another season guaranteed, and such smart writing in the rest of the show, I am hopeful that the minority characters will be handled with more nuances in the future.

“Kimmy Schmidt” is a worthwhile show, with a strong, hopeful female pro-

The diversity of mediums and subjects in the gallery enhances the exhibit. The assortment continually introduces new approaches to admire, as the viewer takes a turn around the room.

Techniques such as monoprint, ghost monotype, India ink, dry point, and linotype printmaking are present in the exhibit; while paintings and drawings utilize mediums in graphite, pencil, charcoal, watercolor, oil paint and more. Sculptural artwork, created from clay stoneware, foam and even cardboard, enriches the display of students’ artwork.

Further originality in the gallery draws together the worlds of literature and art, with famous poems manipulated by an artist. Without a doubt, in the McNamee Gallery, SLU’s fine-arts students have created an array of works, which can be appreciated by a vast audience.

Overall, the annual student art exhibit is worth taking a step inside. One graphic design piece full of color, like a kaleidoscope, changes with a step back or forward — the shapes and lines of the design are actually letters of the alphabet creating the fascinating pattern. Herein lies the allure of art; take a step back, and everything changes. Try a different perspective, and what was thought to be absolute becomes a multitude of possibilities.

Season 5 premieres

By JOSHUA CONNELLY Copy Editor

The return of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” is much like the return of barbecue season, or the re-opening of the public pool. You’ve gone long enough without it that it’s no longer at the forefront of your mind, but as soon as someone mentions that it’s coming back in less than a month, time can’t seem to go by any slower. The wait during the week leading up to the premiere feels like an eternity, and by the time 8 p.m. on Sunday rolls around, you are so full of anticipation that you can hardly think straight.

But then you remember that this is a season premiere, which in the world of “Game of Thrones” means a little taste of many different storylines, but not enough of any one to leave you feeling satisfied. This should go without saying, but if you have not yet seen season five, episode one, you should read no further. This review will contain spoilers for episode one only (so no worries to See “Thrones” on Page 6

Justice: Ryan Reynolds (Randol Schoenberg) and Helen Mirren (Maria Altmann) react to court’s decision in new film “Woman in Gold.” The film was released on April 1, 2015.

Theater Emanuel Ax St. Louis Symphony April 25-26

By KATHERINE KELLIHER Associate Arts Editor

If there are two things that I would never think to put in the same context it is Ryan Reynolds and the Ho-

locaust. Apparently, Simon Curtis thought otherwise while casting Helen Mirren and Ryan Reynolds as stars of his new film, “Woman in Gold.” Mirren plays a Jewish refugee, Maria Altmann, and

Reynolds plays a struggling lawyer, Randol Schoenberg.

Schoenberg helps Altmann in her effort to reclaim a family heirloom, a beautiful portrait of her favorite aunt, from the Austrian government that was stolen by the Nazis. The conflict arises as the artwork is considered a priceless piece in the Austrian museum. The two do not immediately hit it off, as Schoenberg is quite sarcastic and Altmann has no time for his jokes. However, a bond is formed throughout their trials and successes with the Austrian government.

Altmann is initially hesitant to go back to Austria because she does not want to relive her past memories that are displayed throughout the film.

Curtis provides viewers with emotional, heartwrenching glimpses into Altmann’s life in Austria during the time of Hitler. Clips show the Nazi army parading through the town, saluting as they march through the streets of Austria with the Nazi symbols showcased and celebrated for the world to see. At one point, Altmann’s family, a well-of group, is watching out their window at Nazi guards, ordering the Jewish neighbors to scrub cobblestone with acid. There are several scenes just like this — por-

traying the oppression and mistreatment towards Jews — and each one adds depth and context to the tale. The anguish and terror of Altmann’s family as they were violated and stripped of their dignity could move anyone to tears. It is later revealed that Altmann leaves her family, en route to America before they are taken by the Nazis.

In-between the glimpses into the past are interactions among Altmann, Schoenberg and the Austrian government. Needless to say, the Austrians are not bending over backwards to return the painting to its rightful owner.

The new film has three of the elements required of a “must-see.” These elements are: an important message, clean writing and successful execution.

One critique is that the film is filled with various subplots that tend to confuse if one is not paying attention at all times. Alas, the subplots add necessary details and character to a depressing topic.

It is fair to say that many present-day films do not successfully portray the desperation, disparity and sincere horror of the Holocaust.

While this may be impossible, since many present-day directors did not experience

THE GOOD Important topic; well-written; good acting.

THE BAD Plot is a tad complicated.

THE VERDICT Worth your time, whether in theatres or on DVD.

the Holocaust, Curtis makes an attempt and deserves an A for effort. The time and setting of the film is an interesting contrast among present-day Los Angeles, present-day Austria and Austria during the 1930s and ‘40s.

This is a film that addresses a deplorable, yet real aspect of history that must not be forgotten, especially because there are not many remaining Holocaust survivors left to tell their story.

Whether it was the wisdom of Curtis’ vision, the elegance of Mirren or the charismatic, genuine energy of Reynolds, this film sends an important message and deserves attention from all.

any of you worried about the next three, already-leaked episodes).

The season five premiere begins in unfamiliar territory with a flashback – “Game of Thrones’” first ever – to the adolescence of a girl later revealed to be Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey), now the Queen Regent of Westeros.

In this flashback, Cersei travels deep into the woods near Casterly Rock, to the hut of an old witch, where she demands that the witch share with her answers about her future. The three answers the witch gives set a framework for Cersei’s storyline this season, as she deals with the recent deaths of her elder son and father, the new reign of her younger son and the unwilling betrothal of her only daughter to the prince of a region whose alliance with the capital of King’s Landing is shaky at best.

On the eastern continent of Essos, the patricidal Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) and Varys (Conleth Hill), the former Master of Whisperers, arrive in Pentos. Here, they hatch a plan to find Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and bring her to power atop the Iron Throne, overthrowing the Lannisters in the process.

Daenerys is having problems of her own, though, as a band of assassins have taken to killing off her hired soldiers in retaliation for her occupation of the city of Meereen.

Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie), Podrick Payne (Daniel Portman), Petyr Baelish (Aidan Gillen), Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) and Margaery (Natalie Dormer) and Loras Tyrell (Finn Jones) all make brief appearances as well, though it seems that their roles will become more apparent in the coming weeks.

The largest chunk of time in the premiere goes to Jon Snow (Kit Harrington) and the Night’s Watch, as Jon is faced with the difficult task of convincing wildling “King-Beyond-the-Wall” Mance Rayder (Ciarán Hinds) to bend the knee of Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane), another challenger for the Iron Throne, and to have the wildlings fight for Stannis during his upcoming

campaign through Winterfell and across Westeros.

Mance is one of those characters who had a much larger role in the book series from which “Game of Thrones” is adapted: “A Song of Ice and Fire” by George R. R. Martin. Mance was a former Night’s Watch ranger who united the dozens of wildling tribes for the first time in history. In the books, he becomes somewhat of a father figure to Jon, but in the show, he is a halffleshed-out character whom one-third of the viewing audience had likely forgotten before his reappearance.

This is unfortunate, but unsurprising. Mance in “Game of Thrones” just doesn’t have the same connection with the audience as his book counterpart does with readers, which makes his death at the end of the episode feel less significant.

Baseball 2-for-3 in series vs. La Salle Track: 3 Clay Smith earns second-most wins in SLU history

By LEXIE VASOS Associate Sports Editor

The Billikens returned to the Billiken Sports Complex to play La Salle in a threegame series from April 1012. On Friday, April 10, SLU and La Salle exchanged runs throughout the game, which resulted in a 6-6 tie heading into the ninth inning.

La Salle built up a threerun lead in the top of the ninth, but the Billikens clawed their way back into the game and tied the score at nine, after taking advantage of two errors made by the Explorers.

The game continued into

extra innings and La Salle once again took a three-run lead over the Billikens in the top of the tenth. Freshman third baseman Justin Walker hit his first career round-tripper, which was a two-out shot to left center, bringing the Billikens within two.

Unfortunately, SLU could not capitalize on the opportunity and fell to the Explorers 12-10. Junior catcher Jake Henson was SLU’s best hitter of the game, going 3-5 at the plate with three runs scored, two RBIs and his eighth home run of the year. He currently leads SLU in RBIs with 37, as well as home runs.

Hits: The Billikens have scored 23 runs during a three-game win streak, while allowing only five runs to their opponents.

The following day, La Salle struck early with two runs in the first, and one run in both the fourth and fifth innings, building a 4-0 lead.

SLU retaliated in the sixth, loading the bases and forcing the Explorers to look to their bullpen. Henson and junior infielder Josh Bunselmeyer posted back-to-back walks to put SLU on the board.

Junior infielder Braxton Martinez brought SLU within one run after sending a ball into deep center field. Freshman outfielder Parker Sniatynski tied the game at four with a quick single to left.

Sophomore Danny Mannion helped SLU take the lead with

a grounder, which allowed Bunselmeyer to score. Bunselmeyer came up big in the seventh inning, driving in a pair with a two-run double.

Sniatynski hit a homer down the left field line, his first as a Billiken, allowing Bunselmeyer to score.

In the eighth inning, senior first baseman Mike Vigliarolo hit a double down the left field line. This was Vigliarolo’s eighth double of the season and the 53rd of his career. He is currently only one double behind Adam Gabris for SLU’s all-time doubles record. This offense allowed SLU to cruise to a 9-4 win.

The Billikens finished the

series on Sunday, April 12, scoring three times in the second inning, off of five La Salle errors. In the third, Bunselmeyer brought in Vigliarolo, who was on third base, to take a 4-0 lead.

The Billikens tacked on five more runs in the fifth, giving them a 9-0 advantage.

Vigliarolo got things started with an RBI single to left field.

Henson followed up with an RBI double, then Bunselmeyer drove in both Vigliarolo and Henson with a single up the middle. Freshman shortstop Alex King also had an RBI single to right field. In See “Baseball” on Page 8

SLU Track and Field, in the middle of the 2015 outdoor track season, completed a successful meet coming off of sending a split squad to three meets from April 10-12.

SLU Medical Center Stadium saw numerous Billikens record personal bests at the SLU Invitational on Friday, April 10, and Saturday, April 11.

The meet also marked the second, and final, home meet for SLU’s outdoor track season.

A new school record in women’s pole vault was set, with junior Stephanie Uhrich breaking her own record by jumping a mark of 3.52 meters. The mark was also good enough for first place in the event.

Sophomore Hannah Rohde and senior Jamee Holmes also won their events. Rohde won the women’s 400 meters with a time of 56.33 seconds, while Holmes won the seeded 1,500 meters with a personal record of 4:36.02 minutes.

Sophomore Emma Kidd won the unseeded event with a time of 4:55.91.

Meanwhile, the Billikens did equally as well in relays.

Sophomore Rachel Staab, Rohde, sophomore Maddie Bryan, and freshman Mackenzie Bonk, made up the women’s 4x100 meter relay.

They placed first in the event with a time of 48.45 seconds.

The men’s team saw sophomore Kyle Clinkingbeard win the top heat of the 400 meter contest; he ran a 50.23 second race. The men’s 4x400 meter relay race was an exciting race that went down to the wire. SLU lost by only fourtenths of a second, finishing in second place, with a 3:18.49 mark. The team was made of Clinkingbeard, sophomore Nathan Hall, senior Tommy Whittaker and sophomore Griffin McCurren.

SLU head coach Jon Bell was pleased with the teams’ performances, and saw the future of the Billikens squad shine on the track.

“The core of our performances came from our freshmen and sophomores, which is a great sign for the program’s future,” Bell said.

In addition, Bell was glad to be able to have a successful home send-off for the seniors on the team.

SLU will look to build on this week’s successes with two upcoming meets, April 1618. Next week will see SLU’s squad split between relays and individuals. The relay teams will head off to Walnut, California, to compete in the Mt. SAC Relays on Thursday, April 16, and Friday April 17. Individual runners will head to Indiana State, in Terre Haute, Indiana, for the Gibson Invite.

On May 2-3, the Billikens will run at the A-10 Championships in Fairfax, Virginia.

According to Bell, the Billikens will use the SLU meet and the upcoming meets to prepare for the championship portion of this year’s season.

BY LEXIE VASOS, ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR WHO TO JEER: TIGER WOODS Instead of congratulating Jordan Spieth, 21, on his record-tying Master’s victory, Tiger Woods gave him a backhanded compliment, comparing it unfavorably to his own achievement in 1997. “With the length of the golf course, I didn’t think that people would be getting that low, but they kept it soft all week ... We haven’t seen it that soft.

It wasn’t springy until today.”

WHO TO FEAR: KANSAS CITY ROYALS The Kansas City Royals were the only undefeated team left in the league until their 3-1 loss to the Twins on April 15.

The Royals, who lost in the World Series last season to the San Francisco Giants, 4-3, have a bullpen that has yet to allow a run this season. They also lead the league in runs and fewest errors. Royals will look to continue their success in a series against the Minnesota Twins.

Redshirt senior pitcher Clay Smith had an important game for the Billikens against La Salle on Sunday, April 12, throwing a sixinning shutout. He allowed five runs and two walks, while sending five other batters back to the dugout.

The 11-1 victory was Smith’s sixth of the season and the 22nd of his career.

He now moves to second on the all-time pitcher wins list at SLU, trailing only Alex Alemann (27) in the Billiken record book. Smith was held to only three starts last season due to injury, but has been reportedly healthy throughout the 2015 season.

Continued from Page 7

The Colonials were unable to respond to a relentless Billiken defense after a lucky run in the first inning. Lore led the field by allowing no earned runs and only one collective error from the Billikens.

The second game let in a change of momentum. GW sought revenge, and shut the women down in a 10-1 trouncing in five innings.

The first inning was all the Colonials needed to leave the Bills in the dust. The offense scored five runs within the first chances at bat. With no errors and no home runs, it was a long inning for the Bills.

GW didn’t let up in the second inning, raising the bar to a 7-0 lead with two triples and a single. Everingham finally answered with the Bills’ first hit in the third inning.

Macfarlane followed up with a single, getting Nickel home, starting with a walk in the beginning of the inning.

However, this wasn’t

enough to regain some of the wind taken out of SLU’s sails in the first inning. GW closed things up in the fourth inning with the help of the Billiken defense, which allowed three errors and, consequently, three runs. The Billikens were unable to answer in their last attempt at the top of the fifth with no runs or hits.

The third game on April 12, was SLU’s chance to save face and win the series after an unsettling result late Saturday.

With quiet first and second innings from both teams, it was a nail biter to see who would make the first break.

SLU took a 3-0 lead in the third, despite only one hit from the Billikens. Friedman walked and Everingham followed. Macfarlane got a lucky break from an error on the part of GW’s shortstop, getting Friedman back to the dugout and her team on the board. Lore cracked a double to left center field, and Macfarlane and Evering-

ham earned two more runs for SLU. Just when things were turning back in SLU’s direction, the Colonials struck.

GW earned two runs, with two singles and a double, in the bottom of the third. SLU suddenly had a hungry opponent breathing down their necks to finish them off on GW’s home turf.

A walk from Buckles, a sacrifice from Knesel and single by Friedman boosted the Bills to a 4-2 lead. Lore lengthened the lead even more with a single in the fifth. Miranda Cotton pinch ran for Lore and stole second.

Buckles sealed the deal with a double to get Cotton to home.

The Bills looked strong going into the bottom of the fifth inning, with a 5-2 lead over the Colonials.

Two innings remained, and an impressive seven-run surge commenced from the bats of the Colonials in the bottom of the fifth and sixth innings. SLU could not formulate any attack after an alarming six-run fifth inning from GW, giving them a 8-5 lead. GW scored a lone run in the sixth to win the final game in the series 9-5 and take home the series over, SLU 2-1.

SLU faced its across-theriver rival, SIUE, on April 15, losing to the Cougars 0-5.

MacFarlane’s two-out double in the fourth was the only hit for the Billikens. The Cougars scored two runs in the first, one in the third, and two in the fourth. SLU fell to 25-15 for the season overall.

Although the Billikens did not bring a conference win home to St. Louis, they will step up to the plate again this weekend against long-time rival La Salle at Billiken Sports Center. They will play two games Saturday, April 18, at 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. and close the series Sunday at 12 p.m.

the seventh, Mannion scored on an RBI single to right field, nd junior catcher Joey Salerno scored off of a wild pitch.

La Salle finally got on the board in the eighth, but the Billikens prevented them from capitalizing, and the game ended in an 11-1 victory.

Senior pitcher Clay Smith pitched six shutout innings for the Billikens. He allowed five hits and two walks, striking out five batters. This was his sixth victory of the season and the 22nd of his career.

With the win, Smith moves to second on the all-time pitcher wins list at SLU, trailing Alex Alemann (27) in the Billiken record book.

Mannion and Vigliarolo were the leading offensive

players for the Billikens. Vigliarolo went 3-4 with two runs scored and an RBI, Mannion also was 3-4 with one run and two RBIs. Bunselmeyer led the team with three RBIs. The Billikens hosted fellow Jesuit school Rockhurst on April 15. The game remained scoreless until King singled to right field, advancing Sniatynski to third and allowing Bunselmeyer to score. Sniatynski scored soon after, briging the score to 2-0. In the fifth, Sniatynski hit a fly ball to bringing Henson home for the a 3-0 score. Right -handed pitcher Connor Lehmann was credited with the win after allowing only two hits.

The Billikens advance to 24-12 on the season. They will continue their conference schedule against Massachusetts, at home, April 17-19.

On April 8, in Boston, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found guilty on all 30 counts in federal court due to his participation in the Boston Marathon bombing. The bombing, which took place on April 15, 2013, during the Boston Marathon, killing three people and injuring more than 240 others, was the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

The next stage of his court proceedings is his sentencing.

The jury will decide whether to give Tsarnaev the death penalty or a lesser penalty, such as life in prison without chance for parole. Despite Massachusetts’ ban on capital punishment, in place since 1984, Tsarnaev can still be sentenced to death because he was tried in federal court. Federal prosecutors will be arguing that if any offense deserves the death penalty, it will be this one. Meanwhile, the defense will argue that Dzhokhar was only 19 years old, with no criminal record and was coerced into involvement by his older brother, Tamerlan, who was killed by FBI officers four days after the bombing.

The forthcoming debate of the sentencing inspired our own debate: Would we sentence Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death?

We attempted to find a reason why we, as a country, would choose to execute Tsarnaev. We thought of retribution, a deterrence of future crimes or otherwise making an example out of him.

As far as retribution goes, some editors were not entirely sure that the death penalty would be a worse penalty for the now-21-year-old Tsarnaev than life in prison. With a life sentence, he will be isolated most, if not all, of time for the rest of his life, and he will possibly foster hostility amongst the other inmates due to the nature of his crimes and designation as a terrorist.

We also thought that making an example out of Tsarnaev or using his death as a deterrent to future perpetrators of terrorist attacks against American citizens is a bit naïve. The U.S. government and its military have killed thousands of people in its “War on Terror,” yet these attacks continue to occur. If we are to believe the Tsarnaev brothers’ reasoning for the attack, it was U.S. intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan that led to their own attack at the marathon. There is also the possibility that the death penalty could make Tsarnaev a martyr for his cause, which could inspire other individuals to commit attacks against the United States and its people.

We also considered what reasons the United States would have in not giving Tsarnaev the death penalty.

The first reason we discussed was cost. Contrary to popular belief, the cost of imprisoning someone for life is cheaper than keeping an inmate on death row, mostly because a new appeals court for the sentencing must be established.

The second reason was that we believed it wrong to stoop to Tsarnaev’s level. We, the United States, are not in the best company regarding countries that allow the death penalty. In addition to the United States, the only countries that still use the death penalty to the extent the United States have are Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Yemen and China.

Finally, the U.S. has had a lot of difficulty procuring the method deemed most acceptable to kill a human being: lethal injection. Partly as a result of this difficulty, Utah recently made it legal, again, to be put to death via firing squad.

We, the University News Editorial Board say no to the death penalty because we advocate a more humane approach to the criminal justice system and to our dealings abroad.

Is baseball our pastime?

On April 3, a San Francisco Chronicle article stated that baseball, our national pastime, was past its time.

The article cites statistics saying that Americans are twice as likely to say the National Football League (NFL) is their favorite professional sports league over Major League Baseball (MLB). In addition, television ratings for NFL games are more widely dispersed for football whereas baseball is more concentrated to the city its being played.

In a surprisingly more contentious debate than the editorial, “Distancing from death penalty,” above, we attempted to ask that question ourselves.

First, for the baseball haters: One editor described baseball as a “lazy man’s sport,” which we think is an excellent way to start this apparently heated debate.

Some of us argued that baseball is not a sport that is popular across the world – besides the U.S., it is mostly limited to a few Latin American and East Asian countries – and isn’t even popular amongst large swaths of our populations.

For many African-Americans, Lati-

nos and Canadian Americans, basketball, football, soccer and hockey are often more popular sports.

Sporting events like the Super Bowl dominate the World Series, and the World Cup, Stanley Cup and the NCAA and the National Basketball Association (NBA) championships are often on par with that of the World Series.

Finally, some of us just think baseball is a boring sport.

For the lovers of baseball, there is a higher baseline knowledge regarding the rules of baseball, mostly on the basis that so many people, boys and girls, play the game growing up.

Baseball is also the ultimate spectator sport, whether you need to grab a beer, work on homework or take a nap, baseball will likely be there for you when you get back (or wake up).

One editor also argued that baseball unites neighborhoods and cities, from little league all the way to the major leagues.

Perhaps the most important reason that baseball should be proudly labeled as the country’s pastime is its history.

Many MLB stadiums are iconic parts

of American history. Whereas very few people will remember the Edward Jones Dome or Minnesota’s Metrodome, Chicago’s Wrigley Field, Boston’s Fenway Park and even the old Busch Memorial Stadium evoked a sense of shared memory. Baseball also has its roots in the United States and has a long history here.

While we all could agree on the history of baseball, where will the future take us?

Football is indisputably the most popular sport in the United States, but a renewed public suspicion regarding the dangers of the game may lead people to other, non-contact sports.

While soccer is the fastest-growing sport in the U.S., with new TV deals for Major League Soccer (MLS) and more people playing, we all could agree that soccer was not going to be as dominant as it is in many other parts of the world.

Ultimately, what caused us to agree was an understanding of the word pastime. None of us can agree on the most popular or best sport, but our national pastime, now and into the near future, is and will be baseball.

Many of my friends who are graduating with me in May have committed to a year of service. I chose a different route. Certainly I hope to commit to a year or several years of service at some point in my life, but I did not feel called to do so immediately upon graduation.

This summer I will move back to Chicago, where I will have nothing but time, time which will be spent working as a waitress, volunteering in the city and doing what I love most — writing. I am confident that in a year or so, some element of my life will have changed, as it often does.

So with these hopes, goals and intentions, why can I not answer the infamous question about my life plan? My situation may be a bit peculiar ; however, I truly believe this rule applies to everyone, whether you are 21 or 67.

My answer to anyone who is struggling to define this question for themselves is quite simple: Don’t create a plan for your life. Life is not meant to be planned; it is meant to be lived.

The shooting of Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson and the more recent shooting of Walter Scott in North Charlest o n , South Carolina, have called m a n y different Dustin Luegring a s p e c t s of the criminal justice system to the forefront of American society, from definitions of reasonable force to unequal treatment in the courts. In particular, the protests in response to these shootings have rekindled the debate over the militarization of police departments, an issue that media sources have been criticizing for years.

For example, in the most recent version of the television series Battlestar Galactica, there is a scene where President Laura Roslyn wants to send the military to control the citizens. In response, chief military Commander William Adama refuses to send them to act as law enforcers because “there is a reason you separate the

Games trilogy is a fictional representation of a dystopian state, there is still a lesson to be learned: the militarization of police only provokes violent responses from citizens. I believe this is why we saw such violent reactions.

Many of the protests were peaceful until more police presence arrived, using tear gas and aiming their guns at citizens.

In the end, this issue is much deeper than any one individual. Just as Katniss was the symbol for the rebellion in the Hunger Games, Brown and others have become the symbol of the police brutality and racism that is taking place throughout the country. Regardless if you support the indictment decision for Brown and the murder charge for Officer Slager or not, there is one thing that no one can deny: there is significant distrust between urban black communities and the police.

How do we stamp out the inequities of our current justice system? How do we establish a system that treats all people fairly? How can we police citizens in a way that protects them, as opposed to meeting them with force?

Always remember, ideas of democracy catch fire – let us be the ones to spread it.

As a graduating senior, the question I have stressed over the most is, “So, what’s your plan?” When I hear this question my initial reaction is, “I don’t know.” But, do any of us really know?

Let me first say that I am a planner. I like to plan out my meals for the day, what homework I would like to accomplish during the evening and how I will spend my weekend. Four years ago, I was the person who swore by a solid plan. I planned out my college curriculum to a tee, which for the most part turned out as it was supposed to. What I did not plan for or prepare for was the amount of knowledge that I would gain from my life outside of the classroom.
