Student Update

Student Life >>>

World news and how it relates to you Julia Thatcher • College Times After a full day of going to class, studying and trying to find a meal on your last $3, sometimes you just want to tune out from the struggles of the rest of the world. But there’s a world of news happening around you, and some of it might affect you.

Ebola. ISIS. Ferguson. All are headlines and topics of concern in the media and on the minds of many these days, but they’re easy to tune out in a world where we can selectively view media. So what in the world is going on? We decided to break it down for you so you can stay in the know—and tune right back out again. This is your world news update! Listen up.

EBOLA The recent Ebola outbreak has caused mayhem and fear for people across the world. The virus is considered extremely deadly and claims the lives of 50 to 90 percent of people who contract the virus, according to the CDC. The virus first attacks the immune system by shutting it down, which is the main reason the death rate is so high. A person with Ebola can carry the virus for two to 21 days before showing symptoms and then has up to around 16 days to fight the virus or die, According to the World Health Organization.

It is exceptionally difficult, however, to catch Ebola. The only way to do so is through contact with bodily fluids like blood, saliva, mucus, sweat, tears, semen, vomit, urine and feces, or come in contact with an animal that has the disease.

Though this is worst Ebola outbreak since it was identified in1976, according to the CDC, at time of writing, there have only been two confirmed diagnosed cases of Ebola in the United States and only one case of Ebola being transmitted in the U.S. It was confirmed earlier this month the virus was transmitted to a nurse who was caring for an Ebola patient in Texas. There is no confirmation yet as to how she specifically contracted the disease.

The recent Ebola outbreak has caused mayhem and fear for people across the world. It is exceptionally difficult, however, to catch Ebola.

How It Affects You: Currently this is not something that is a cause for concern unless you are in direct contact with the one living person in the U.S. who has Ebola, or unless you are planning to travel to Liberia or Guinea where extreme outbreaks are taking place. It does, however, serve as a warning to wash your hands frequently and thoroughly after the bathroom, you filthy animal.

ISIS ISIS, which stands for Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, is also referred to as ISIL, or the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. ISIS is an Islamic extremist group with the intention to create an Islamic State in that region.

ISIS, who disaffiliated themselves from the more familiar Islamic extremist group, al-Qaeda, last year, is making headlines for their extreme brutality after releasing videos of members torturing and executing unarmed prisoners and beheading captives.

The main concern is that they are capturing and seizing land very quickly and they do not run like a terrorist organization, but rather a military group. In lands in which they are currently in control, they are acting as a government and are largely selffunding through taxes, extortion, theft, and in some parts of Iraq, oil sales.

ISIS is valued to be making around one million dollars a day or more. The Islamic extremist group has been estimated to have more than 30,000 fighters attracting a large number of westerners who are uprooting and traveling to the Middle East to devote their lives to the “cause.”

The beheading of both an American journalist and a British national were said to be in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes directed

toward them, as well as to halt the support of the airstrikes. 40 nations have agreed to join forces to help stop the advancement of ISIS. However, there is no news as to what countries are going to be involved and what the roles will be. President Obama has said he does not plan to put boots on the ground to fight ISIS. Other government officials say they are not sure he can keep that promise.

How It Affects You: Now is the time to start paying attention to the news and the decisions that will be made on how to handle ISIS. According the Office of the Deputy Assistance Secretary of Defense, 65.7 percent of active military members are between the ages of 18 to 30. In a year, the soldiers that could be sent out are the same students sitting next to you in your lecture hall.

FERGUSON OCTOBER Starting over the weekend of October 10, thousands have gathered around the streets of St. Louis to protest police brutality.

The four-day protest came after the shooting death of unarmed African-American 18-yearold Michael Brown, who was killed by police in August.

Following the shooting, the city of Ferguson experienced extreme violence, prompting pleas from the Governor, the Brown family, and even the President of the United States to ask for non-violence in the city. During peak violence, multiple shops were looted, journalists were detained, rocks were thrown at police officers and multiple days of school in Ferguson were canceled due to the violent protest—all leading the Justice Department to start a nationwide review of police tactics.

Ferguson October was set to be “a series of public events—marches, convenings and panels—to build a momentum for a nationwide movement against police violence,” the Ferguson October website said. The protest highlighted the killing of Michael Brown and the public’s desire to have the officer who shot and killed Brown arrested. The protest also attracted attention to other young black men who have been killed by police as well as the concern of racial profiling and community relations with police departments in the United States. A grand jury is still deliberating on whether or not to charge the officer who shot Brown. However, these protests are calling awareness to racial injustice in the United States.

How It Affects You: According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, “African Americans are twice as likely to be arrested and almost four times more likely to experience force during an encounter with police.” As college students, our generation has the ability to slowly change these statistics, and as people, this affects all of us.

COURTS DECLARE SAMESEX MARRIAGE BANS UNCONSTITUTIONAL On Monday, October 6, the United States Supreme Court refused to hear appeals from five states that attempted to keep their same-sex marriage ban, allowing (or forcing) those states to legalize same-sex marriage. In the following days same-sex marriage has been legalized in 31 states, including Arizona.

Other states are also currently awaiting word from Appeals court, a response that could come any day. Based on the recent responses, however, the outcome seems hopeful that marriage equality for all will soon be recognized.

In 2013 the Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 vote that the federal government had to recognize same-sex marriages in states where it had previously been made legal.

This ruling played a huge part in federal district and appeals courts denying marriage bans in other states.

How It Affects You: If you’re an LBGTQ student, your life in Arizona is looking brighter. As homosexuality becomes more and more accepted, so will you.

O’ Hallows Haunts

Are the Valley’s haunted attractions worth your hard-earned bucks?

We did it again. We subjected ourselves to the torture of the Valley’s haunted houses so you don’t have to—unless you want to.

Our annual haunted house reviews took us all around the Valley for basic boos and truly terrifying torture.

THE GAUNTLET

By Julia Thatcher Almost anyone who grew up in the Valley have memories of going to Sun Splash or Golfland, playing in the water and burning our feet on the hot pavement running from the wave pool to the lazy river. Something much more horrifying to experience at SunSplash is The Gauntlet.

The haunted attraction is located upstairs in the park’s trademark castle and takes about 20 minutes to walk through at a fast pace (no running!). As you sit on benches waiting to go inside, the mood is set with eerie music and darkness. As we walk into the room, it becomes painstakingly clear my guest is going to have an issue. Towering at 6 foot, 1 inch, he lets out a screech previously thought only capable of 13-year-old girls.

The Gauntlet Haunted House was creative in their set up, almost like a maze and keeping the walkways so small, often only one person can fit through. I was surprised by their tactics. They don’t just count on physical scares—it got downright psychological!

As you progress through the haunted

house, the theme changes. Differently themed rooms (Including a meat room.

That’s human meat, people!) set out to chill and thrill. Sadly, I cannot confirm if the set change had a storyline because I shamelessly stared at the ground and made zero eye contact whatsoever. (If you can’t see them, they can’t see you, right?)

The Gauntlet was everything you would expect from a haunted house with the added bonus of psychological fear.

This wasn’t 13th Floor scare status, but a frightening haunted house nonetheless.

Somehow Golfland created a haunted house that is appropriate for everyone.

The 20+ year-old men who joined the group screamed as much or more than the 13-year-old girls in our group.

Reasonably priced tickets and no lines were a huge perk. Unlike other haunted houses, you won’t spend more time in line than you do in the actual haunted house.

13th Floor

By Dominique Del Grosso Fog rolls through the darkness, hovering; camouflaging the frights that will inevitably ensue at any moment.

The footsteps draw closer; terrifying characters emerge. Descending closer, these haunted creatures call out with shrill screams and the chilling vocal sounds commence.

Ignoring every instinct in my body, I took the first few steps into the New Orleans swamp-inspired graveyard, and to my surprise, the 13th Floor experience was not just a fearinducing, heart pounding moment in time—it is the best execution of a haunted house I have witnessed. Truly frightening, indeed.

The 13th Floor graveyard maze zigzags, ensuring no scare will be missed. Winding through a creepy room of stacked coffins, which mirrors that of a morgue, and into the haunted mansion scene, there is hardly a moment when unnerving sounds, leering characters or fake bodies do not terrify. Throughout the haunted mansion, crazed characters pounce from every direction, keeping the thrill in-tact. Blood-curdling wails ring out

over and over.

The final section is a zombieinfested, post-apocalyptic scene.

Approaching, the crowds are directed through a series of chain-link, barbwire-topped fences. Soldiers carrying fake guns stand at attention, directing the crowd and enticing anticipation.

Once past this section and through to the other side, zombie characters immediately pounce from every direction. The city scene is cluttered with smashed cars and planes, fallen stop lights and an abandoned movie theater, which allows for bigger, better hiding places for zombie characters.

Navigating the labyrinth of this scene proves tricky because the path isn’t clear-cut like the graveyard and haunted mansion. However, zombieland is a truly impressive, epic work of horror. Bursting through the exit door at the end of 13th Floor, nerves calm and laughter ensues. How is it possible that an experience, meant to mimic fantasy, feels so very real?

Other fear-fueled haunts

Fear Farm

Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare

By Cailyn Finkel With two haunted houses and a spooky maze, the Crypt Haunted Attractions in Mesa lives up to its chilling name.

The first haunted house, The Crypt, is centered on the idea of the dead. Be it chainsaw wielding-zombies getting just a tad too close for comfort or stepping cautiously into a frightening funeral scene, the house is filled to the brim with death. This attraction is sure to leave the cursed souls who enter with a sense of dread and discomfort.

The second house, The Asylum, is exactly what the name suggests. A rather aggressive bloody doctor leads you into the psychotic hospital where blood splatter, horrific images and medical tools line the walkway.

If that isn’t enough to get your heart beating, the Chuckie-esque doll crawling around the floor definitely will. Follow that up with clowns, psychotic patients and a murderous doctor and you’re sure to walk a little more quickly through the halls to your fast escape outside.

If you’re looking for something a little more kidfriendly, then the maze is perfect for you. Several ghastly ghouls and a masked madman follow you through and almost lead you through the plastic panels. Much shorter than the first two attractions, the maze is a safe call for those who aren’t into that big of a spook.

The Crypt Haunted Attractions are a good, scary time for all, and the theatrics and dedication of the staff is overwhelmingly apparent in the scenery and characters themselves.

By Megan Stalbaum I prepared myself for a world of fear. I really wanted to turn around and not go through with it. It was the nervous feeling where you get shaky and it’s hard to catch your breath and the anxious feeling of not knowing what to expect.

Those were legitimate feelings I experienced riding in the passenger’s seat on the way to Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare. I have never been in a real haunted house before—only homemade productions. I knew that going to this haunted house that many professionals spent several months setting up was going to be a lot different—and a lot more terrifying.

Those feelings didn’t go away as I was going through the many different areas of the haunted house.

There were mazes that were so dark that I couldn’t see where I was walking; areas with bloody people dressed in ragged clothes, banging on walls and got way too close for comfort; areas where I was surrounded by gunshots cops were shooting at a rundown house; A foggy area where all I could see was the silhouette of people. After about 20 minutes of horrifying scenes and scares I made it to the end, and it was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.

Most of the time walking through, I just wanted to close my eyes and let my friend lead me. I didn’t want to see the people popping out of the corners or see them following us as we made our way through. I have to say, I don’t think I have ever screamed as much as I did walking through the haunted house. It felt like it took forever to finally get to the end, but once I did, oh boy, was it a relief! I guess this is why people subject themselves to this torture.

Even if you are like me and scared of the smallest things, I promise you will make it through. You will be glad you experienced Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare.

The Crypt Haunted Attractions

Fear Farm is not your ordinary array of haunted attractions. It is a farm carefully designed to terrorize. Fear Farm features many haunted attractions, including Chainsaw Mayhem, Undead, Legends: La Llorona, The Descent, Mouth of Madness, and Midway—not to mention a creepy corn maze, too. But beware; Fear Farm is not for the faint of heart.

2209 N. 99th Avenue, Phoenix, 623.826.5632, fearfarm.com, times vary, $25

Field of Screams

Planted over the top of a haunted graveyard, Field of Screams will terrify with its haunts.

Dare to enter, but be warned, Field of Screams will change your idea of cornfields forever.

Malicious monsters and terrifying paranormal experiences will make you want to give up corn for the rest of your life.

Chambers of Fear

Beginning as a small home haunt, Chambers of Fear has grown to become one of the Valley’s best haunted houses. Having housed the frights of Dreadful Domain, Skull Asylum, The Crypt, Arizona Fright Nights and The Haunted Corn Maze, Chambers of Fear has frightened the Valley in what seems like every way imaginable.

Chambers of Fear, 11340 W. Bell Road, Surprise, 623.255.6896, chambersoffear. com, 7 p.m., $23

House of ScreamS

House of Screams, once a small, family-owned and operated annual event, has grown so rapidly from its inception that an expansion to a larger haunted house was necessary. This year, House of Screams joins the ranks of the Valley’s biggest haunted houses. Although the newest on the haunted house circuit, House of Screams is where Wicked Dreams come to life.

The back story behind this haunt is based on a story of a murderous, inbred family of cannibals who kidnapped and dismembered up to 100 bodies.

Last minute Halloween costumes from the closet Megan Stalbaum • College Times We’ve all been there in lazier years. It’s 3 p.m. on Halloween and you have nothing to wear, but you still want to party! Don’t be a party pooper. These Halloween costumes are already hanging out in your closet—you just don’t know it yet!

“ICE”

Brawny Man

Who doesn’t love a burly man that knows how to clean?

No need to worry if you do not have these items because you can easily just get them at the grocery store and Goodwill.

What you’ll need: • Flannel shirt—ideally red and black with the sleeves rolled up.

• White T-shirt • Black or dark blue jeans • Brown or black work boots • Brown or black belt • Roll of Brawny paper towels (Keep the plastic on!)

• Five o’clock shadow (If you can’t grow one, create one with makeup) Steps: This costume doesn’t really take much to make. Just put on everything and grab your paper towels and head out the door!

8

Ice Bucket Challenge

Better than the fire challenge, this meme-inspired costume will actually be pretty cool.

What you’ll need: • Clear or white bucket • Clear tape • Scissors • Permanent marker • Silver tinsel • Grey or silver balloons Steps: Gather all your materials and cut a few strips of tinsel to fit around the bucket. Tape the silver tinsel around the inside of the bucket so it looks like ice is coming out when you tilt the bucket over. Blow the balloons up just a little bit to resemble ice. Tie them to the tinsel at different heights. This just gives it a bit more of a realistic effect to the costume. Write “ICE” on the bucket in big letters in permanent marker.

OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 5, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

Serial Killer

Hardly as serious as it sounds, this cutesy pun is as easy as fishing last week’s Rice Krispies box out of the recycling.

What you’ll need: • Mini cereal boxes • Fake blood • Plastic knives • White T-shirt you don’t mind ruining • Hot glue gun • Clear tape Steps: Empty the cereal boxes and reseal them using hot glue.

Then, use the hot glue gun to attach the cereal boxes to the shirt. Spread the boxes out so they aren’t all gathered in one area. Stab the boxes with the plastic knives. Once you stab the boxes a few times, leave the plastic knives sticking out of them. Pour some fake blood (you can make this with red food dye and corn syrup) on the cereal boxes and on the shirt. Make your hair messy and put some fake blood on your face. Yummy!

Crazy Cat Lady

Many single women in their late 20’s are terrified by this one in fear of becoming her. She’s the crazy cat lady, and you can find her by following the trail of hair and kitty litter—or just in your pantry!

What you’ll need: • A robe or old lady-style clothes you don’t mind ruining • A few stuffed kitties (Don’t pretend you don’t have these handy.)

• Sponge hair curlers • Slippers • Hot glue gun Steps: Hot glue each of the cats onto different parts of the robe/ outfit—a cat on each shoulder, two cats on each arm sleeve, a couple cats dangling from the front of the robe and a couple dangling from the back of the robe. Put the curlers in your hair.

The messier the better. Put on the robe and slip on your slippers because you’re ready to party.

Rubik’s Cube

Because Halloween is a real puzzler.

What you’ll need: • Big square cardboard box • Black, red, yellow, green and blue paint • Black under clothes like a T-shirt, tights, shorts, pants, leotard, etc.

• Black electrical tape • Scissors Steps: Cut the head and arm-sized holes in the box. Use a pencil to sketch the outline of the square.

Rubik’s Cubes have nine squares to a side, so you’ll want to do the same. Paint each side a different color, then outline the lines with black electrical tape to define the edges. If you’re feeling crafty, you can paint the sides different colors to create a “jumbled” look. Slip on your black clothes and get your box on. Nothing says party like a Rubik’s Cube!

Pacing across the stage, Jackson Katz challenges the views of approximately 500 Arizona State University students and community members on who is responsible for preventing sexual violence.

“These are not just women issues that a few good men help with,” says Katz, a gender violence prevention expert and author on the subject. “I’m arguing these are men’s issues.”

Arizona State University hired Katz to speak at the September event hosted by Changemaker Central, a student initiative for social change. The night ended with student club leaders inviting student audience members to interact with them and learn how clubs were preventing sexual assault and harassment.

It’s one of many steps ASU has taken to strengthen its efforts to raise awareness about sexual violence.

ASU was the only Arizona school on a list of 55 under investigation by the U.S. Department of Education for how they have handled sexual violence and harassment allegations.

In mid-September, President Barack Obama announced a program dubbed It’s On Us to combat sexual violence on campuses.

At the beginning of this school year, President Michael M. Crow notified the ASU community by email that a new Sexual Violence Prevention Task Force will review all policies, procedures and programmatic efforts involving sexual violence.

The task force will send a report to Crow at the end of October, a quick but necessary deadline, says Aaron Krasnow, assistant vice president and director of ASU counseling and member of the task force.

“This is a long-standing social problem

that requires a complex, community-based solution,” Krasnow says. “All of us are responsible in ensuring that no student ever experiences sexual violence.”

ASU is laying plans to require all 80,000plus students to take an online course called Consent and Respect. The module will focus on sexual violence awareness, prevention and intervention. The task force is still reviewing the content.

The online module provides insight about bystander intervention training, but ASU also has in-person training course, called Step Up, that has been around for several years. Krasnow says the university would look into scaling up the in-person training if more students show interest.

ASU also has been working more with student organizations whose mission involves preventing sexual violence, he says.

“We have amazing student organizations that have already taken it upon themselves through passion and interest to prevent sexual violence and ensure a respectful community,” Krasnow says. “I’m very proud of the students here at ASU who have, prior to the call from the president of the United States, who have decided it is on us.”

Task force members are having conversations with the club leaders about joining under the banner Sun Devil Movement of Violence Prevention. One of them is the Graduate and Professional Student Association, or GPSA. Megan Fisk, immediate past president of GPSA and a Ph.D. communications student, is on two of the subcommittees on the current task force. She was also at Katz’s presentation.

“We all play a role in shaping the culture that we want and a culture that promotes sexual assault or even allows it to take place and the way it’s structured isn’t what we want,” Fisk says.

Student Voices >>> Get outside before it’s too late Julia Thatcher • College Times Across the country, fall is welcomed by the changing of leaves, the crisp breeze in the air and Julia Thatcher the sound of thousands of fans cheering under the bright stadium lights for their favorite football team. In Arizona, we can tell it’s fall because our calendar says so.

Before it gets down to a chilly 67 degrees (How can you tell I’m a Phoenix native?) there are a few outdoor activities I recommend. Embrace these awesome outdoor excursions throughout the temperate fall season before we’re forced to turn to sweater weather.

Fossil Creek: If you’ve never been to Fossil Creek, do you even live in Arizona? If you’re not sure what Fossil Creek is, it is a creek with cliff jumping off waterfalls. Secret Confession: I went to Fossil Creek and didn’t actually jump.

I could have lied and said I jumped, so don’t fault me for it. Don’t get me wrong, I had a huge moral conflict with myself that day, but the truth is that

12

Fossil Creek was awesome despite that.

Sure, everyone else had fun jumping, but swimming in the water and enjoying the scenery were just as fun. As temps begin to cool down for the season, so will the water, but the main waterfall has nearby rocks to let onlookers sunbathe and watch as other people swim and jump into the creek...in a totally non-creepy kind of way, that is.

Paddle Boarding: I had my doubts, but this is easily one of the coolest things I’ve done recently. Unlike Fossil Creek, there is no real adrenaline involved with doing this (which makes it perfect for me!), but for some reason, struggling to find balance on a massive board was awesome! I third wheeled hardcore with my sister and her fiancé and have been back to Saguaro Lake multiple times since to board around.

Though you don’t have to jump in the water, I consider this part of the fun.

That, and laying on the board and just floating around is a great way to revive that summer tan. It took us almost all day to paddle around the lake.

Everyone should try it at least once.

If you don’t want to travel too far, try paddle boarding on Tempe Town Lake!

like. The two hot springs look manmade, in part because what looks like pool decking has been built around them. The first hot spring is encompassed by a stone wall with hippie-looking murals. The second hot spring overlooks into the Verde River

and stunning scenery. This makes now the perfect time to go. It’s cool enough outside for a long hike (we got lost for two hours, #NoShame… #OkALittleShame) and the water is still warm enough for the hot springs to not be lukewarm springs.

STUDENT VOICES Mind the

AGE GAP

The monthly battle royale between two stubborn people born 60 years apart

...with Old Fart and Young Punk

Editor’s note: Due to recent events, this debate became dated. Needless to say, the Young Punk is thrilled.

Debate: Should gay marriage be legal?

First word: Dear Old Fart, This subject has been debated to death in the political sphere, and I fear I don’t have any original arguments to add to the discussion. But this is a personal subject for me. My best friend is gay. I was the maid of honor at her wedding— her gay wedding.

She was my roommate for four years in college. I think I knew she was gay before she was ever fully able to admit it to herself, and I was always cool with it. It’s just one aspect of her complex personality. I just wanted my best friend to be happy.

So I take issue with anyone who says she can’t live life exactly the way I can.

As a straight person, a white person and someone raised in an upper-middleclass household, I’ve practically had life handed to me on a silver platter.

Things have been easy for me and I recognize that. I’m thankful for it, but things shouldn’t be that way. The only “disadvantage” I’ve been handed in life is that I’m a woman, and thanks to the women’s rights movement, I’ve rarely felt the repercussions of being female. I’ve been allowed to thrive and live my life exactly the way I want to live it without interference from society telling me I can’t.

My life is good. I want the same for others, whether I agree with their lifestyle or not. A lot of people probably think I should be married before I live with my boyfriend, stay at home instead of working full-time and should have had a child by now. But those people don’t get to decide how I live my life. Don’t tread on me, you know?

But there are millions of people who are told they can’t live life the way they want to live it, simply because someone else’s morality dictates they cannot. I can’t think of a single argument against gay marriage except “because God says so” or “because it’s icky.” Neither is valid in the United States. As a secular country, we have no right to legislate

morality. Keep that in the church. If a church doesn’t want to marry gay people, they don’t have to. That’s a personal choice—the same as when a doctor doesn’t have to prescribe birth control or when a pharmacist chooses not to fill the prescription. I don’t agree with that either, but I respect their right to do so.

For me, this subject isn’t even a debate—and many in my generation feel the same. Gay marriage will likely be legal in less than 10 years. Recent headlines show that full legalization is probably closer to five years away or sooner, and I couldn’t be happier about it.

We should let people live their lives.

Interracial marriage was once banned in the United States, and look how silly opponents of those marriages look now.

Marriage between two consenting adults should always be legal, however immoral you think it is. This is the United States, home of the free. How can we be free if we don’t all have equal rights?

Whether you like it or not, progress will always move forward. Efforts can be made to slow it down, but freedom always pushes through. There’s no country in which everyone can be “normal,” white, Christian and straight, because not everyone is born that way.

We should allow others to embrace who they are and therefore, embrace happiness. The happier individuals are with themselves—the more they’re able to express who they are and do what they love—the better off we’ll be as a whole.

United we stand.

Gay marriage doesn’t invalidate straight marriage, just the same way that interracial marriage doesn’t invalidate a same-race marriage. If you choose not to believe in gay marriage for yourself and your family, that’s fine—no one should tread on you, either—but that’s not the place of the law, plain and simple.

Don’t we have more important subjects to tackle? Shouldn’t human rights be a given?

—Young Punk

Rebuttal: Dear Young Punk, Throughout recorded history, including Biblical sources, the ritual of marriage has been defined as that of the union of one man and one woman, sanctified primarily for the purpose of procreation.

There have, of course, been deviations from what was considered the norm, such as plural marriages. But those marital arrangements have been frowned upon and considered illegal in most countries.

Young Punk, you say you can’t think of a single argument against gay marriage except “because God says so…”

Whoa! You may be willing to challenge the word from above, but not I. If God says something, that’s good enough for me. I’ve done my share of straying from the straight and narrow, so I’m not going piss off the boss any further by accepting a redefinition of marriage, and I don’t care how many states codify same-sex unions.

You go on to say that “as a secular country, we have no right to legislate morality.” Our exceptionally wise Founders correctly determined that their new and unique nation would not be a theocracy, that there would be no equivalent of the Church of England or any other form of state religion. However, at the heart of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are Judeo-Christian principles. Among them is the admonition not to murder a fellow human being, which under American law is a crime.

Unless you don’t consider maliciously taking another person’s life to be immoral, then you have to acknowledge that morality is indeed legislated. Look throughout the judicial system and you will find countless laws based on what are considered immoral acts, such as stealing and rape.

In my many decades on this planet, I’ve known people of all stripes and gained an insight into the factors that shape a person’s life. None is more central to the human yearning than to

love and be loved. I don’t look down upon such an emotion manifesting itself female to female and male to male. It’s wrong to condemn such feelings that come naturally to same-sex people, just as they come naturally to opposite sex individuals.

I’ve often heard the argument that government should not be involved in marriage. On the surface, this sounds reasonable. If every marriage were perfect, if there were no dissolutions, no offspring to consider, no distribution of assets created within the marriage to resolve, there would be no reason for government involvement. But as a practical matter, some instrument is needed to address and settle the complex issues that arise when a couple divorce.

I can’t think of any other way to handle such issues than through a governmental structure.

It seems to me that the whole uproar over formal same-sex unions depends on ones definition of marriage. For Christians and Jews, marriage is and always will be as the joining of one man and one woman, sanctioned through rites performed by each respective religious institution. It’s also my view that the frequently militant campaigns to legalize gay marriages has less to do with rights and legalities than the desire of the homosexual community to gain wholesale approval from the rest of us.

How anyone chooses to live their life is not mine to say or judge. Nor do I consider my marriage threatened in any way by same-sex couples. But when the word “marriage” is applied to gay unions and to me and my spouse in the same breath, it doesn’t have equal standing.

I realize that the tide is turning toward a universal establishment of same-sex marriage. But as a Christian, I cannot equate my man-woman marriage to any other.

Julia Thatcher • College Times Old Town isn’t exactly known for its lowkey atmosphere, but Bad Water Brewing is out to change that.

Exchanging the upscale opulence of the area for a laid-back vibe, doors officially opened to Bad Water Brewing Tap Room in late September, culminating a two-year dream of company president and Valley local Lewis Kubitz, who opened the Bad Water manufacturing facility in 2012.

Their beers, which are designed in Arizona and brewed across the United States, include a Saison, an IPA and a Western Lager.

Following quality control issues with their original brewery out in Tucson, Bad Water Brewery shortly stopped production in order to provide what they thought would be the best product. Production has since moved to a brewery in Wisconsin that is not only the second-oldest brewery in the United States, but also ranked the tenth best.

College Times talked to Kubitz about the opening of the Tap Room.

College Times: What sets Bad Water Tap Room Brewing Company apart from other breweries in the Valley?

Kubitz: I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this, and I think we set ourselves apart in two ways, the first being the brand. We definitely have a unique, progressive brand. We’re Bad Water Brew and that has its own set of uniqueness in flavor to who we are and what we do

has a lot of depth. The second is our beer styles. All of our beer is made with different yeast, making each beer have a different undertone. It all kind of circles around the flavor, but we want our beer to be very drinkable. Our beer is meant to be drinkable. It’s not a one-and-done kind of beer.

What are your future plans for the company and for the beer?

When you have a time horizon for your company, where you see company going in five years...well, we’ve kind of reached that mark. But right now, we are making a push for larger distribution to shelves, and long-term maybe a brewery here in town but we want to stay true to our model and brand.

Are there any plans to brew a holiday beer or a new beer that people should be looking out for?

We are definitely looking at doing a seasonal beer. I don’t know if it’ll be this year, but absolutely. Probably look out more toward the first of the year.

How and why did you want to open a brewery and tap room?

There is no one answer with this. Timing is probably most of it. I’d say the love of beer...it is the mix of the right amount of freedom, the love of beer and the love of consumer goods.

BUSINESS

Body Canvas Tattoo.

For Body Canvas Tattoo, your bod is a work of art Dominique Del Grosso • College Times Getting a tattoo is a really big deal.

It’s permanent, so picking the right tattoo parlor is crucial. Luckily, Body Canvas Tattoo, a Phoenix tattoo and piercing parlor, isn’t your run-of-the-mill shop.

Here, no tattoos are exactly the same because the artists believe in making the tattoo as unique as you are. Owned and operated by Antonia Samora, she ensures that no matter the desired tattoo design, her artists work closely with customers to create an end result that reflects both personality and artistic brilliance, as she discussed with College Times.

College Times: What made you want to open a tattoo parlor?

Samora: Actually, my dad was a business man and he owned this tattoo parlor. My dad owned the business for eight years, but now he’s 83, so I took over in March.

When is your busiest time of year?

October really picks up. Summer ends, and people don’t want to not get in the pool with new tattoos, so they usually come in after summer. But generally, usually February and March are the busiest times of year because of tax season.

What’s the most common tattoo request or design?

Lettering is the most common tattoo request, like words. Cherry blossoms are really big right now. I’d just say the Hawaiian flowers and other flowers, and people also want lettering.

On what part of the body do most people request tattoos?

Right now, I’m finding the wrist is the trendy thing to do. With guys, it’s typically the arm by their muscles. (Laughs)

Let’s say a customer wants the name of someone they love tattooed. Do you go through with it?

My artists try to talk a customer out of a name of a boyfriend, wife, etc. tattoo because it’s generally a bad idea.

Along those lines, are there any tattoos you refuse to do? Why? I have two artists who refuse to tattoos owls because it’s against their culture.

The Walking Dead Actors And Walkers

Panel Discussions, Workshops and Meet and Greet with Celebs 6 Independent Horror Features and Dozens of Short Films

Are there tattoos your artists wish more people would request?

I have an artist who wants to do portraits.

Portraits are big. If [tattoo artists] can do portraits, you’re a really good artist.

Watercolor is new, too, and it’s kind of just hitting the scene.

What makes your tattoo parlor different?

My tattoo artists actually draw their own tattoos instead of computer-generated methods other tattoo artists use. I have one artist who refuses to copy other work. I mean, if a customer comes in with a design, he’ll use the idea, but change it up to add his own spin to it.

Since Halloween is a spooky time of year, do people tend to request Halloween-inspired tattoos?

Yeah, around this time of year we have a couple of people who, in October, want Tim Burton-inspired tattoos. There’s definitely a generation, maybe early 30s, that follow that Tim Burton style.

Calendar >>> Pete Holmes.

Pete Holmes brings boisterous laugh, unheard material to PHX Julia Thatcher • College Times Pete Holmes is the nice guy next door, but he just happens to be able to tell a killer joke. Known for his trademark, hearty laugh, high energy, quick wit and his ability to make even the manliest of men seem small (towering over at 6 feet 6 inches), the comedian will be performing some original unused material he wrote prior to the start of his short-lived talk show following Conan on TBS at Stand Up Live October 24 through 26.

Successful in many areas, Holmes has tried his hand at writing and starring in multiple television shows, but he found most of his success in stand-up, and being on the road is where he’s most at home—unless he’s hosting his podcast.

The idea of his talk show evolved from his popular podcast, “You Made It Weird.” Holmes is notorious for his complete bluntness when it comes to his interviewing style and is known for turning the tables on the other comedians he interviews, creating a candid, laid-back conversation, often resulting in hilarious exchanges while discussing extremely personal information.

16

His comedy sketches mirror that same outline. A unique blend of bluntness and ease makes laughing at inappropriate and questionable things he says more than socially acceptable. In fact, it is almost a guarantee that Holmes will be laughing right along with you. (Give it some time. His laugh begins to actually become likable after a while. Without it, he wouldn’t even really be Pete Holmes.)

TBS has allowed Holmes to keep all 88 episodes of his show available on his YouTube Channel to stay online forever.

His 30-minute talk show often features interviews with fellow comedians and other actors. There are also sketch comedy routines featured on occasion and more often than not wildly inappropriate funny jokes. For a good laugh, and to get a better idea of his comedy, check out those in addition to old clips from previous and current performances.

Nightlife >>>

Make Halloween spooky with surprise spirits Christina Caldwell • College Times Despite its roots, Halloween is far from frightening—just frighteningly wholesome.

And while we appreciated that when we were younger, college means taking your nostalgic childhood activities and doing all of those things drunkenly. (And studying, I guess.)

Suburban moms get ramped up for Halloween because it’s You Got Booed season. You Got Booed is a family-friendly game where neighbors drop homemade treats on each other’s porches, thereby “booing” that neighbor. After that neighbor is booed, they must bake their own treats and boo someone else. It’s basically neighborhood treat extortion and we don’t condone it. Unless there’s spirits involved.

(Teehee) So we created our own twist on the All Hallows game and put a tipsy twist on it.

Prepare to get “Boozed.”

24

What you’ll need: A Sharpie.

How to play:

One or A rubber more 1 oz. liquor band.

Tissues. (They’ll be shooters. on your nightstand.

Eh hem.)

OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 5, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

1. Make the shooters into lil ghosts. We scrunched up a tissue into a ball, placed it on top of the shooter’s cap, placed another flat tissue over it and secured the “head” with a rubber band. Make sure to draw eyes on your ghost to get the point across.

2. Google Image search “You’ve Been Booed” and find a sign explaining the game. Print it out and add a “z” in sharpie in any instance the word “booed” appears.

Or create your own sign if you’re feeling creative. Flip it over and on the opposite side, print a sign for them that says “We’ve Been Boozed.”

3. Drop your cute little ghosts off on your friend’s front porch on top of the sign, knock like you’re coming in to murder them and run away.

A printer.

Your sign should explain the rules of the game to the boo’ey so they know to continue the tradition. They should read something like: 1. Take a shot!

2. Place the “We’ve Been Boozed” sign in your window or on your door so other people know you’ve already been boozed.

3. Within two days of getting Boozed, photocopy this sign and buy some tasty shot ghosts for a neighbor.

4. Secretly deliver your booze by creeping up to your neighbor’s door, knocking like you’re coming in to murder them and running away.

NIGHTLIFE In the Clubs

Warm up the holiday season with these festive cocktails College Times staff The arrival of Halloween means it’s officially the holidays, which means it’s time to procrastinate buying gifts for your ‘fam, eat way too much and get your buzz on. (Well, you

probably get your buzz on a lot, but this time you can do it in an ugly, old cardigan!)

Cozy up with a blanket because these local drink recipes are comin’ atcha. They’re like a warm Christmas sweater for your insides.

Pop Culture >>> Courtesy GWAR

GWAR still slaying after all these years Christina Caldwell • College Times For those uninitiated into the world of GWAR, the concept behind the band sounds pretty lame. Here are a bunch of metal heads dressed as monsters from outer space, spewing fake blood and other bodily fluids into their audience and disemboweling effigies of celebrities on stage.

Joan Rivers, in a classic YouTube sensation filmed on her ‘90s talk show, felt the same way. But GWAR has a way of winning naysayers over. After all, they brought Rivers over to the dark side by the end of that segment.

When you consider that GWAR is less of a band than a pop culture phenomenon, it all begins to make sense. You want to be covered in that fake blood and muck. That is, if you can escape. GWAR fans get satisfaction from the torture and wear their fluidsoaked shirts from previous shows as badges of honor.

We were nervous when we talked to bassist Beefcake the Mighty (Jamison Land), knowing his affinity for “killing” fans at GWAR’s shows and throwing their fluids about. After all, aren’t they worried about spreading Ebola?

“We’re actively trying to spread Ebola,” Beefcake says in character.

“That’s our goal.”

But if fans keep coming back to their shows, that must mean they miss a fan or two when they’re working to destroy them.

“We’ve been slacking,” Beefcake says in character. “They keep escaping from us. Balsac (guitarist Mike Derks)

28

has been feeling sluggish. He was just over in Australia and he’s been full from eating so many Aussies.”

The band took two hard blows when faced with the deaths of longtime members, Cort Smoot (Flattus Maximus) and Dave Brockie (Oderus Urungus), both from drug overdose. After quickly picking up the pieces after Smoot’s death in 2011, the band almost instantly went on the road, knowing it would be Smoot’s wish for the band. When Brockie died in March of this year, the band decided to do the same, beginning their Eternal Tour on October 15 in their home base of Virginia.

The band’s longtime “manager,” Sleazy P. Martini, issued a statement as the tour began, with a bit of humor in spite of all of the darkness—just GWAR’s style.

“First of all, let’s clear something up: Oderus is not dead! Nor is GWAR,” Martini says in the release. “Now, admittedly, things will be different.

For instance, with Oderus’s absence, touring expenses will be scaled back considerably as crack usage by the band will drop by over nine tons a day.

To which I, the CIA and the Medellin Cartel respond with a collective: ‘Phew!’”

With two band members departing for their home planets, it was time for some replacements—and a little girl power. Co-leading the group is Vulvatron (fashion designer Kim Dylla), GWAR’s second lady in charge in their 30-year history, and Blóthar (Michael Bishop), technically a new character to the group but portrayed by the original man behind Beefcake the Mighty,

re-establishing a founding member of the group back into the band.

“They’re great,” Beefcake says of the new GWAR co-leads. “One of them takes their top off, so that really brightens up my night, and Blóthar, he’s just doing a fantastic job. He’s an old, old soul, so it’s been a while since we’ve seen him, but it’s good to have him back.”

Perhaps as a way of coping, GWAR keeps no subject off limits. Beefcake was Uderus’ roommate prior to his death, but that doesn’t mean his departure isn’t ripe for jokes. With the mission to stay active as long as possible, Beefcake sees no end to GWAR’s reign.

“50 years is the blink of a GWAR eyeball. It’s a meaningless amount of time in our universe, you know. We’re immortal, and I’m sure when I blink my eye, it’ll be 50 years [later] and we’ll still be slaying countless humans,” Beefcake says. “Actually, hopefully we’ll off this slumball planet because the only good thing about this planet is crack and Taiwanese ladyboys.”

POP CULTURE >>> Gus Powell

OK Go still on the go, gathering new inspiration along the way Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times Thanks to its viral videos, Los Angeles indie rockers OK Go have been able to perform in some pretty exotic places, says bassist Tim Nordwind.

The act—best known for its treadmillriding appearance in the “Here It Goes Again” video—will head to Russia next year when, Nordwind hopes, the political crisis will continue to stay quiet.

“I want to be excited about playing Russia,” he says. “I’m always excited to go to different and exotic places. We’ve played there before. I’m sort of aware of the fact that it’s slightly more dangerous than when we were there five or six years ago.

“I guess you just have to assume that there are people like you and me who want to see a rock show. I want to play for those people.”

OK Go will be playing for American audiences until later this month, when it swings through Phoenix’s Crescent Ballroom on Friday, October 24.

“We’ve got a brand new live show that’s very interactive and multimedia,” he says. “There is a lot of crazy confetti that gets shot out. It’s a big party. It’s a party, parade, rock show and theater all rolled into one.”

The jaunt is in support of Hungry Ghosts, the band’s fourth studio album.

Nordwind says the collection was inspired by the band members’ childhood love of ‘80s music like Prince, INXS and New Order.

OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 5, 2014 • ECOLLEGETIMES.COM

“We made a record that sounded like music we listened to growing up in the ‘80s,” he explains, “Those are exactly the bands that we really loved at the time. It has that fun spirit of ‘80s pop, but I don’t think it sounds like ‘80s pop, but it has the spirit of that stuff.”

It also captures that vibe of writing songs in the moment, in the studio.

“There’s something fun about making songs a little bit more in the moment than when you’re actually making them,” he says. “There was something fun and fresh about making it up on the spot that we really enjoyed.

“That was an experiment for us that we really enjoyed. This record feels a little bit more like it represents as we feel right now.”

OK Go has a busy year ahead of it, starting with the release of its video for “I Won’t Let You Down.”

“They’re also developing a couple other videos,” he says. “There’s a TV show that’s possibly in the works. We’ll be going overseas the beginning of next year to do a bunch of shows.”

He has OK Go’s videos to thank for those.

“There are a lot of places that we’re able to play where our records aren’t released, but they know the videos. I think we’ve benefited from that.”

Concert Calendar

Volbeat still does it for the fans, despite critical reception Christina Fuoco-Karasinski • College Times Introduced to American music by his parents, Michael Poulsen of the Danish rock band Volbeat quickly became obsessed with the likes of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Hank Williams.

Now his life has come full circle, having found success in the United States with his quartet, which marries rockabilly and metal.

“It’s taken a lot time to get into the United States,” acknowledges Poulsen.

“When we were making noise in the U.S. underground, people were asking for Volbeat.”

The band was hesitant to fully tour the United States until it had, what Poulsen calls, a decent distribution deal.

“It would have been tough to go all the way to the U.S.,” he says. “We were not sure anybody would show up. We waited until the distribution got a little better and people could find the record.”

Fans are definitely finding the music now. Volbeat’s song, “A Warrior’s Call” from its fourth studio album Beyond Hell/ Above Heaven, was recently certified gold for sales of 500,000 units.

That’s one of the tracks concertgoers will hear when Volbeat performs in Downtown Phoenix along with Five Finger Death Punch, Hellyeah, Killswitch Engage and Nothing More as part of KUPD’s “Big Red Night of the Dead” on Saturday, October 25.

Volbeat has come a long way since its initial club tour with the Finnish metal band Nightwish. The band impressed booking agents and its peers and was recruited by Metallica to open for it in the United States.

“They’re such nice guys,” he says of Metallica. “We’ve been huge fans of Metallica since we were back in school, and are still very much inspired by Metallica. Now we have a really good, close friendship with those guys. It’s very inspiring to see how they work on the road, with the crews, at shows. You can always learn a few things from those old dogs.”

Volbeat will take a break from touring in early 2015, however, to pen a new record.

“I have a half year to write the new album,” he says. “I already have lots of ideas. Everything is going in the right direction right now. It’s really normal that I write around 30 songs. Then I skip half of it and the other half is the half that I’m working on.”

He’s looking forward to pleasing the fans once again—not critics or academy members, who nominated Volbeat for a Grammy.

“I’m not trying to be cocky here or anything,” Poulsen begins. “...It’s really not the reason why I’m here doing what I do. We love being on the road, interacting with fans, giving the fans the power they deserve.

“I’m hoping at least in the future that all the award shows can give a little more power to the fans. After all, they’re the ones who go out and buy the records.”

KUPD’s “Big Red Night of the Dead” feat. Volbeat w/Five Finger Death Punch, Killswitch Engage, Hellyeah and Nothing More, Downtown Phoenix in parking lot between First and Second streets and Washington and Jefferson streets, ticketfly.com, Saturday, October 2 p.m., $40 adv

Go FIGURE

By Linda Thistle

By Linda Thistle

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each small nine-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine.

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only one.

(Answers below)

Salome’s STARS ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Caution dominates the Sheep’s monetary aspect this week. Rams and Ewes might want to shear their big spending plans until a more favorable financial picture begins to emerge by week’s end.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Financial matters once again figure in any major action you might take regarding career, travel or other endeavors. You’ll want a ready reserve to help you back up those moves.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Thrift counts both at home and at work. So you might want to rethink major purchases or investments. Also, be wary of a so-called revelation about a previous decision.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Trying to resolve a problem in a personal relationship could be more difficult than you’d expected. Look into the possibility that someone might be interfering for his or her own reasons.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Both household budgets and workplace accounts might benefit from some judicious trimming of unnecessary expenses. A partnership could lead to an unexpected challenge.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A project you once rejected might be more attractive because of changes that you feel you can now work with. The weekend is especially favorable to family matters.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A previously overlooked opportunity could reemerge with a new travel-related matter. Check this out carefully to see if it’s what you really want before you decide one way or another.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) This is a good week for the gregarious Goat to enjoy being with people you care for. You might even want to show off those creative kitchen skills you’re so adept at.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be the start of a new career-changing phase, so start marking down your many accomplishments for those who need to know how much you have to offer. Good luck.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A colleague might think your attitude is patronizing or even outright insulting. True. That might be his or her problem. But you might want to take some reassuring steps anyway.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) It’s not too early for the sometimes procrastinating Virgo to start making those long-distance travel plans. The sooner you decide where to go, when to go and how to go, the better.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) It’s a good time to jettison those old concepts about a family matter you might have been holding on to. This will help make room for a new and more enlightened ©2014 King Features Synd., Inc. way of dealing with it.
