JUNE ISSUE 2015

From the editor My iPod (yes, I still use an iPod and store my music separately to my smartphone…) is a fantastic mix of jazz, rock, punk rock, indie rock, heavy rock, metal rock… basically many kinds of rock music mixed up with some golden oldies and the occasional ballad (I’m talking the sweet sounds of Damien Rice’s love woes). It’s beautiful. It’s also an unexpected treat to be listening one moment to the kindred spirits that are Iron and Wine only to be jerked from such reverie by Billy Talent squealing at injustices (yes, squealing is the best word I can think of to describe the mix of shouting and singing he so exceptionally masters).

Suffice to say it is not the kind of device I regularly put on ‘Shuffle’but this morning was just one of those mornings. I was un-baffled by changing tempos, styles, genres and decades in musical history. I hit shuffle. A few songs rang by before Billy Joel came on (told you it was a mix of decades in musical history- what can I say, my parents raised me… well?) with ‘We Didn’t Start The Fire’.

The lyrics of this song list issues in society, ‘Birth control, Ho Chi Minh Richard Nixon back again…

Reagan, Palestine, terror on the airline’. The song speaks of this ‘fire’ that is burning worldwide, and Joel claims in his chorus: We Didn’t Start The Fire It was always burnin’ Since the world’s been turning I like the song, I like that he’s talking about global issues (some of which, are crazily relevant today)… and I really like that he makes me think about that big claim, we didn’t start the fire. What does it mean for those of us who didn’t cause problems or drop bombs?

This struck a chord (aha- yes, a chord) with something that has been playing (okay, no more puns) upon my mind for a long time. I want to have the kind of attitude that allows me to look at the world, see the fires wreaking havoc, and make definitive decisions that guide my own behaviour and influence others to act right. Within this issue are articles that may challenge how you think and how you consider the way you act. And I know it’s Mad May, and that it’s already a heavy month- but I hope that these articles can provide some context and challenge us.

Presidential Report For your information, the following is basically a short update on all the things that have been happening with the ASA this year. (You’ll be able to stop asking me!)

The ASA team have been doing a great job. They have been participating in frequent meetings and online discussions. If you’re wondering what we actually talk about, you can now access our meeting minutes on our website. Check it out.

Here are some of the new initiatives we have seen this year: • A new logo! I think it is pretty cool, if you don’t like it, stare at it for a while, it’ll grow on you.

• Further development of the website and Facebook page which I created last year, we have bigger dreams for these, but it is hard having no time or budget.

• The areas of involvement survey at the beginning of the year was a success, it helped us connect people with their interests.

• We are currently working on a change in the structure of the ASA so that it can more effectively enhance and represent student life here at Avondale – this includes changing some roles to include a sports, photography, and media representative on the ASA. • We are also working on job descriptions so that future representatives can know what their role entails before they sign up.

Not everything has been a success, as I have neglected what seems to be one of the biggest concerns for many of you: I am sorry to say there has still been little work done on the lady front. But don’t lose hope, I’ve learnt the match making game to use along with the recently published shopping list.

The main purpose for the ASA is to be the voice for all Avondale students. There have been several matters raised by students which we have endeavoured to resolve. I sit on a bunch of committees where I pass on these students’ concerns. However, we still think there are thoughts and ideas on how we can improve this great place. To be an effective student representation, we need to hear from YOU. The ASA has created an anonymous survey to gather feedback. Please take the time to fill it out thoroughly so that we can more effectively represent your voice.

You can visit this link or find it on the ASA page. http://bit.do/asafeedback

VOX POp! What marvellous Mad May study aid would you create if you had no financial limits?

Kyle Finey

Tash Rosendahl

I’d say a jumpsuit sort of thing that was super comfy but not as shameful as wearing a onesie in public that had a compartment that you could smuggle food into the library with and some way to subtly sleep. You gotta be comfortable when you study! Or maybe just a tablet that gives you photographic memory and keeps you awake for a week for people that don’t feel like studying.

When you’re so busy with assignments that you start dreaming about them. They say you have your best ideas when you’re asleep, well I don’t actually know if they say that but they do now. I would invent a machine that reads your dreams somehow and turns your brilliant ideas into writing. I would call it the dream catcher...

Chloe Brees If I had no financial limits I would hire Kanye as a study aid. He seems to obtain degrees without even being enrolled.

Pip McNeill A massage chair that has special computer screen that has all my notes, audio and written, with speakers everywhere for music.

The chair also has an inbuilt popcorn machine.

Kyle Morrison A student access only data bank of all previous essays and homework submissions.

Rachel Slade Stand up. stretch. Take a walk. Go to the airport. Never return.

Ella Hartigan I would invent a machine that you could talk your assignments into and every paragraph you finished, it dispensed a doughnut.

porn: what’s it to you?

By Jarrod Cherry Unless you’ve been living under a rock, or in Toowoomba, then you would have heard about or seen the trailer for the new cinematic production of the book Fifty Shades of Grey.

Obviously not the first movie to have been made about sex, it is however, unquestionably one of the most controversial. Therefore a large number of people are making a pilgrimage to see this debauchery. The one positive to come from this movie is a much needed worldwide conversation about sex. Unfortunately this seems to have been missed by Adventism.

Like with many issues before we believe if the issues aren’t talked about they don’t exist.

Sadly this is not the case. The reality is even as Adventists, both men and women, struggle with sexual issues. The biggest of which in my opinion, in the dormitories today, is pornography.

Statistics show that 80% of men and 30% of women* in Australia have admitted to struggling with a porn addiction at some stage in life. Obviously there is no way of knowing the full impact of pornography here at College. But as a student and resident of Watson for three years, I have heard enough to know that many of the men in dorms have struggled at some point with pornography. I would go so far to say that over half are currently suffering from a porn addiction.

So why is it

6

The June Issue 2015

the least talked about issue that we face?

There are so many studies, articles and testimonies that tell us the damage pornography has on our relationships, lives and basketball. So I don’t need to delve into it. Living within the Adventist culture is great… unless you’re a porn addict. The principles of Adventism are ones to live by but if the culture surrounding the principles creates shame and embarrassment the automatic result is that people have to pretend. Let me explain. I love and uphold the Sabbath but unfortunately it can create false community.

‘Happy Sabbaths’ can be heart-fully spoken but the issues attacking all of us (not just this particular one) may still remain. The battle is often lonely for those whose struggle is porn addiction.

The Bible is clear in it’s definition of adultery as lust, and as humans we understand the consequences of our actions- but of course can find it hard to be definitive in our fight against human nature. Talking about issues takes the punch out of their existence, and slowly we can break them down… Because this isn’t just affecting the random down your hall. It’s widespread. Let’s leave behind our perhaps SDA inclination to sweet issues under the rug, and talk- constructively.

The discussion Some of the young men around campus give their opinions on pornography: Do you believe porn addictions exist in dorms?

Scott Hansen: I definitely believe that porn exists in dorms, it’s a hard thing to get away from, especially in the world we live in today, with the sexualisation of pretty much everything and the accessibility of it.

Luke Martin: Yes there is porn use in the dorms. Certainly a more mainstream form for men but also in other forms for women.

Kent Sharp: There is porn addiction in Watson (have no idea about Ella). I know this because I have heard multiple testimonies about boys struggling with it.

Is this a big issue?

Scott Hansen: Of course! Porn has the capacity to ruin so many things in life, relationships, spirituality, the way we (as men) view women etc.

Luke Martin: Of course! The use of pornography is a deep issue. You can never see the true consequences of using porn initially, however the accumulative negative outcomes come back to bite you in the future.

Why? Porn use on any level, forms expectations in our minds of what sex is and more importantly our individual expectations of sex in a relationship. You will be forever seeking the level of gratification you received from porn in a relationship with another person. Ultimately a partner will never accurately fulfil these expectations and confrontations over expectations in the bedroom will be the inevitable. The danger of porn is not the immediate use but what you will take into your future relationships.

This is only one negative outcome of porn.

Kent Sharp: It is an issue as porn become like a drug to our brain, ruins relationships and negatively affect our society. (for more info on this check out http://fightthenewdrug.org) What support should we as Christians be offering towards this issue?

Scott Hansen: As Christians I think we should be offering some sort of support for young men (and women) who are struggling with it. Not condemning but talking about it in groups of people with the same struggles, keeping each other accountable, reading what others have to say about it- and of course we need to give it ALL to God. Kent Sharp: I’ve often heard people give advice like “pray about it” and then leave it at that. Praying about it is fantastic and a very good start. However, I think a more practical piece of advice would be more helpful.

Becoming more aware of the resources would be a great start. There are numerous websites that provide counseling (I doubt many would want to go see someone about this issue). http://fortifyprogram.org/ is one such program that helps individuals, through practical advice, overcome the addiction to porn.

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Hebrews 10:23-25 If you’ve got something to say on this topic (or any), we’re taking letters to the editor at thevoice@avondale.edu.au.

When ‘She’ Becomes ‘That’

By Lara Campbell

From my early teenage years I have been acutely aware of gender inequality in my society. In the subtlest of forms I have experienced it at a co-ed high school in classrooms dominated by boys. I’ve experienced it in my church where girls have been both ogled and asked to leave by old men, blaming it on their choice of clothing.

I’ve been following it in the corporate church, with the SDA General Conference’s refusal to recognize the Spirit’s calling on a woman’s life by denying ministerial ordination. On numerous occasions I have been catcalled or honked at from passing cars as I go for a run, wolf whistled on the street as I walk with my friends, ogled by dirty old men and even groped in a faceless crowd. And don’t tell me it’s because I wore the wrong outfit.

Sexual harassment has recently come under the spotlight with a YouTube video of news reporter Shauna Hunt outside a football match in Toronto, Canada when a man hijacks her live interview by yelling “FHRITP” into her microphone (it’s an acronym – if you can’t figure it out ask someone else. Probably not a good thing to Google at work). Unlike most women, she confronts the group of men, demanding respect for herself and her viewers. They refuse to apologise. Later we discovered over twitter that Shawn Simoes,

8

The June Issue 2015

one of the men involved in the confrontation, was fired from his engineering job due to the publicity the incident caused.

Shauna Hunt is not the only victim. According to a survey by The Australian Institute 87% of Australian women have been victims of at least one form of verbal or physical street harassment. 56% of those women were alone the last time it happened. I think some of these guys fail to recognise that sexual harassment is never a compliment. It’s passive and pathetic. A “hey sexy!” as you drive by with the blokes does not flatter me. A wolf whistle as I walk past makes me feel like an object. And yelling disgusting things from across the street doesn’t make me feel flirtatious, it makes me feel vulnerable.

Shauna Hunt was in a fortunate position with the cameras rolling and a camera crew

behind her, but unfortunately for many women confrontation is never an option – when your harasser is physically bigger than you or outnumbers you it isn’t safe to provoke a response.

To be honest, I feel quite pathetic talking about my relatively minor harassment experiences when 39 Australian women have been killed as a result of violence against women (statistic from Destroy The Joint campaign). But perhaps the incidents are related and connected to a bigger problem within society.

Rob Bell talks about the dangers of objectifying others in his book Sex God. He talks about how God made humans different from all other created beings because He made us in His image (Genesis 1:27) to “reflect what God is like and who God is.” That’s what makes us different to animals and anything else that moves and breathes – we carry the “divine spark”. When we exploit, disregard or disrespect other humans — when we reduce ‘her’ to a ‘that’— we make them less human. By treating others this way not only do we strip people of their humanity but also we become less human in the process.

We become animals. Monsters.

When Shauna’s interview was hijacked by vulgarity from the mouth of Shawn Simoes, some humans lost some of their humanity.

When a girl gets catcalled on the street by a group of men driving past in a car, individuals are stripped of their humanity. When a man hits his wife, they each become less human.

One is made a soul-less object; the other becomes a soul-less monster.

Respecting one gender over another is at the root of Australia’s sexual harassment. In fact it is at the core of many social issues today.

When we rank and divide ourselves into class, gender and racial groups and we try to convince ourselves that one is better than the other we forget the underlying level playing field that we are all divine image-bearing humans. When we learn to value the souls of people around us – humans that carry the divine spark, the God-given breath of life — we value our own soul.

Summer, because during summer you get summer holidays! Oh and it’s sunny all the time!

You have $13.50 to spend at Cafe Rejuve, what do you buy?

A banana smoothie and banana bread.

Tell us about something you’re really passionate about.

Jesus! He died for me after all!

How are you feeling in the midst of Mad-May? I’m feeling like I might drag my mattress to the library and sleep there from now on, because it’s starting to feel like my home!

12

The June Issue 2015

It’s almost the end of the semester, what did you used to worry about that you can handle like a pro?

Not sure, life is too short to worry, so don’t worry, be happy!

If you could spend $50 total between you and a date, what would you do? And where would you go if you could only be 30 minutes from college?

Hmm no idea, beach it up maybe! Everyone loves the beach! You don’t even need money for that so I could keep the $50, win- win!

If you were to be any animal, which would you be?

Give us three reasons why.

Dolphin- because they’re intelligent, social, and look like they have loads of fun.

What is your favourite escape around college?

Would you recommend this to other students needing to get away?

Ummm not sure…I clearly need to escape more!

ALEX GROVES Where are you from and how far away is it?

I am from Kempsey. It’s around about 3 ½ to 4 hours from here.

What has been your favourite experience at Avondale so far?

My favourite experience I think would have to be the blackout. I might seem crazy but it was a good experience to bond with most of the first year boys.

It brought us together a lot more and better compared to when have all of the outside influences. Definitely my highlight!

What is your favourite season?

Summer, because it is the best time to go to the beach, spend time with family and do stuff with my mates.

You have $13.50 to spend at The Snack Shack, what do you buy?

I would buy strawberry milkshake, a ginger beer because it’s what we sevvies get on! Also I would get potato gems.

Tell us about something you’re really passionate about.

I am really passionate about spoken word and rapping. It is a heavy part of my culture. Writing for God satisfies me, and giving glory to God is one of my passions, and I do it through this.

How are you feeling in the midst of Mad-May? I am a tad nervous, but I am lucky that assignments have been fairly spread out compared a lot of other courses that I know of.

It’s almost the end of the semester, what did you used to worry about that you can handle like a pro now?

Turning up to my 8am classes, it was such a struggle and it is still a struggle but, I’ve become a pro at acting like I am switched on and engaged when I am really sleeping on the inside.

If you could spend $50 total between you and a date, what would you do? And where would you go if you could only be 30 minutes from college?

Firstly I would take the lovely lady to the Watagans and go for a nice romantic walk to the waterfall.

Meanwhile, I would have a friend set up candles and nice food at the lunch area. We would then come back, have the nice meal, then most likely finish it off with some chocolates and head to the movies in Glendale.

If you were to be any animal, which would you be?

I would have to be the Peregrine Falcon. It is the fastest animal on earth. I’d be able to fly. That I would be the Apex predator in the air, therefore I would not have to worry about other predators.

What is your favourite escape around college?

Would you recommend this to other students needing to get away?

My favourite escape would have to be down near the boot camp equipment because the silence that is in that area is great, and seeing the scenery that God has blessed us with in the afternoon is great.

Great place to reflect and read the bible. I would recommend it, quite a peaceful place.

The pirates

Jordan Costigan

You wouldn’t steal a car, you wouldn’t steal a handbag, you wouldn’t steal a television, you wouldn’t steal a movie. Downloading pirated films is stealing.

If you’ve watched a DVD in the last ten years there’s a good chance you’re familiar with the Australian digital piracy ad quoted above. The “fundamentalist protectors” view of piracy is that it’s equivalent to common theft. However, a majority of people believe that piracy is just “file sharing”, like borrowing a DVD off a friend.

Australia per capita is leading the world in pirating TV shows such as Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad. Until recently digital piracy in Australia was only a civil offence, which meant only people hosting files could really face any consequence for their actions.

14

The June Issue 2015

Even then the consequences for file sharing would only be compensations paid to the rightful owner. But the days of carefree piracy are ending in Australia as the laws begin to change. Regular downloaders are receiving warnings via email, and some are facing fines and court appearances.

Whichever way you try and justify your actions online, the reality is that downloading anything without the consent of the original owner is supporting a crime.

Industries impacted by digital piracy have seen losses of around 12 billion USD and 100,000 jobs. We can download hundreds of dollars of software for free from the comfort of our beds or a toilet seat, which somewhat decriminalises piracy in our minds. But the fact of the matter is: piracy is against the law and you are committing a crime by sharing

files that belong to other people.

I’ve often found it quite humorous how Adventists will look down on a person for drinking alcohol or eating bacon, but they’re perfectly happy breaking the eighth commandment. As long as no one finds out right?

I’m not about to start pointing the finger at anyone for digital piracy. By the US standard, I’ve downloaded enough over the years to spend a lifetime in prison. They can’t really expect us to wait weeks for our Game of Thrones fix, can they? Just keep in mind, while it may seem like a victimless crime, people and businesses are affected, and you could face serious consequences in the future.

I can’t imagine that would look good on a resume. Food for thought.

A Moment to Talk

By Marcel Neuhoff

‘Chaos’ doesn’t even seem the most apt description of it. Last month’s storm. Leaving eight people dead, and more than 100,000 people without power, experts labelled it ‘a once in a century weather event’.

Sitting now, cheerily reading my Natural Disaster Credit Form, I’m quickly transported back to those few days. When the power went out on Monday I saw it as a rather ordinary way to end my birthday. I wasn’t expecting much. Blindly stumbling down the pitch-dark hallways of Watson, the last 3% of my battery trickled away finding some company to prepare for a long, painfully dreary night without a phone or laptop.

But I was wrong. In simply sitting in a room with friends, we actually had real conversation with one another – even some truly deep, poignant discussion. We connected with words, not texts. We spoke with personal stories, not with Messenger. It was dark and it was pouring, but what it wasn’t was tedious.

What began as a nuisance, became a night I would never dream to replace.

That’s when I started to think: why don’t we talk anymore? Like, actually orally converse?

Why don’t we leave the phone in our pockets and talk, or even just listen, to those we’re

16

The June Issue 2015

close with? With the people around us? The guy beside us on the plane?

The next Sunday I was sitting on the train back to College from fair Lismore. When the fifth hour passed I was unquestionably over long-haul travel. But then Janelle sat next to me. And she wanted to talk. After a struggle, I made the effort to put my phone away, to resist the urge of checking my newsfeed for the umpteenth time. So we talked. A lot. She’d been an emergency nurse for 25 years, had a daughter my age studying Education, and repeatedly called me cheeky for teasing her.

She was intermittently racist, but that was Janelle.

Just today, while waiting at the pathologist, phone in pocket, I enjoyed a brief chat with the receptionist. She’d handed me an article on identical twins who’d fallen in love with the same man, a real gem named Rob, who so tenderly described being excited at presently having ‘twice as much’ of the same woman.

I suppose my point is that there’s something liberating about conversation. Simply taking time to speak with someone. Without emoji.

Maybe it’s time we do more of it.

S.E.P.

By Taflin Mowbray

How many of you have read Douglas Adams?

Wow, a whole three of you? (For the rest of you, don’t fear, I’ll explain soon.) So how many of you know about the Somebody Else’s Problem Field (SEP)? ….One of you, eh? Sigh. Okay then, how many know of the Bystander Effect?

Yes, since you ask, there is a point to this trivia quiz.

There is a common root for both of these phenomena. Both involve a large group of humans witnessing something, and end with the whole crowd doing nothing about the event.

In Douglas Adams an alien uses a SEP field to hide from humans because it was much easier to build then making the ship invisible. The reason is, “This is because it relies on people’s natural predisposition not to see anything they don’t want to, weren’t expecting, or can’t explain.”

Bystander Effect is a real document phenomenon that the more people who see something bad happen, the less likely one of them is to try and do anything. In 1969 Bibb Latané and Judith Rodin staged a scenario where a woman was in need of help.

They found that while 70% of people would help when alone, the numbers dropped when there were groups, instead of just individuals.

Now what was the point of this pedantic lecture? I just wanted you to know that you are a victim of this flaw in human nature. If anything this effect is far worse for us then for our parents and grandparents.

I love the internet. But damn does it cause us problems.

Never before have people had the ability to be so passive while still thinking that they are helping.

Never before have people felt so small and distant from the problems of the world.

Never before has it been so easy to see a problem, and to just shrug and go ‘not my problem’.

I know that this article won’t change your nature. But maybe it will think about your actions, or your lack of them. Because while I am certain that the half empty glass is about to be knocked over by the dog, I still hope that someone might just pick up the glass afterward and fill it back up.

NEWS: MOTO

Charlotte O’Neill provides an update on pending overseas trips (special thanks to Prof. Tony Williams hosted by Anna Beaden).

In 2013, I, along with around 15 other College students, journeyed to Cambodia. During this time we experienced all the joys of an overseas trip: the camaraderie, cultural shocks and delights, strange and bonding friendship experiences, and for our group- the invaluable teaching experience of three weeks in an orphanage teaching from early morning until late afternoon. On each subsequent practicum I’ve attended telling of this experience is always greeted with “You’re so lucky!” and “That must have been fantastic for your professional development”. It was.

During 2014, an independent audit of overseas trips run here at College changed the availability of overseas trips for Avondale students. Early this year concern broke out among many students who had either been on a mission trip/MOTO trip and loved it, or had anticipated going on one and feared they would not be able to.

18

The June Issue 2015

Last wednesday, Professor Tony Williams participated in a student run forum to provide transparency to the student body as to the reasons for the loss of ‘MOTO’, expectations for the future, and how we can improve our interaction with overseas experiences (the forum largely focused on teaching trips but the audit included all trips run by Avondale).

Tony stated that ‘The review had forty something recommendations in it’ and, “The College has three responsibilities: first and foremost safety, secondly reputation of the institution, thirdly- whether the learning experiences align and are consistent with the course graduate learning outcomes. Each person has health issues, individual issues… the biggest problem we have had so far is that people did not pay due diligence to that.”

Issues in the past have involved students simply ticking boxes without thinking deeply about risk factors involved in the trip such as personal health needs. For MOTO to function, it is important for students to be aware of their own needs and act responsibly.

While mission trips have been run at College for over a decade, Ray Roenfeldt stated that,

‘We are now under a national regulator, and their primary motivation is assessment of risk.

There is a far greater emphasis on risk than there ever has been before.’ Tony added that ‘We are far more accountable than we were ten years ago. Once upon a time simply a group sign off was appropriate and acceptable. Now it is far more detailed. What was expected and appropriate ten years ago isn’t now, and we are in that transition faze.’

As for the availability of trips for 2016, Jason Hinze was quick to assure students that just because they missed out this year does not mean they will not be considered for next year’s trips. ‘From my perspective, I’ll do all I can to facilitate all those who are interested to go. I definitely won’t prioritise second years

over those who missed out.’

Tony stated that getting trips up and running again “will depend a lot on MOTO organisers.

Other trips are planned for the end of the year- this is not isolated to MOTO”. However, can we plan for MOTO trips currently? With the steps that Tony is involved in initiating, he states a confident “Yes”.

If you’d like to know more, speak to Jarrod Cherry (One Mission) or Jason Hinze (MOTO).
