raduated, on his own and $120,000 in the red.

That was Tim Pease’s first taste of post-graduation reality.

The financial burden of college, as with most students, fell entirely on Pease, 29, who studied business marketing at St. Leo University before obtaining his masters in Entrepreneurship from USF in 2012.

With no help from his parents, Pease turned to student loans to front the bill for his schooling.

When it came time to collect, Pease felt the full weight of his debt, which in turn, directly altered many of his ensuing life decisions.

“With my first job, I wasn’t making a ton of money,” Pease said. “With rent, car, personal expenses and student loans, I was barely getting by.

“Originally I had to defer my loans to give me some cushion financially, but once I started paying them back … I had maybe a couple hundred dollars at the end of the month.”

After five years of payments, deferring them multiple times, that number has only slightly dropped.

Pease is one of 44.2 million Americans carrying student debt, with that number growing each year. As of February, the national student debt total had risen to $1.3 trillion compared to $300 billion a decade ago, according to research from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

That increase can, in part, be attributed to the increase in enrollment, which rose 31

But the topic of student debt still remains an issue of concern among students and universities.

In today’s market, a college degree goes a long way to securing a high-paying job.

And due to the increasing trend of “credentialism,” which causes professions to screen for higher credentials where they might not be needed, it has become nearly essential to obtain one.

A 2014 study by Burning Glass, a labor analytics firm, concluded that “middle-skill career pathways are becoming closed off to those without a bachelor’s degree.”

Receiving a diploma has increasingly become a necessity, but at what cost?

“Like everyone else, students have to make choices,” said Michael Loewy, an associate economics professor at USF. “Among them is whether to attend college and possibly graduate with some student loans, or to enter the labor force without a college degree.”

For Loewy, student debt is not as big of an issue as others might proclaim, rather, it’s simply part of the decision to attend a university. In the long run, he

Former Student Body President-elect Moneer Kheireddine filed an appeal for a court decision last week that disqualified him and his running mate, Shaquille Kent.

The ticket originally won the popular vote with 5,385 of the 8,636 votes cast. But after five weeks of reviewing grievances while students were left in limbo, the Student Government (SG) Supreme Court found Kheireddine’s campaign in violation of “abusing the official capacity of their position (in an employee of the university) for their own personal campaign.”

The appeal went to the Dean of Students, Danielle McDonald, who said that she plans to have it reviewed in time for the inauguration scheduled for Friday at 5 p.m.

Kheireddine said he has not yet sought legal counsel to help with the appeal, but he is getting help.

Student Government Advising, Training and Operations did not respond to The Oracle’s request to obtain the letter of appeal submitted

EDITORIAL

Student debt is crippling the American economy

Student debt is reshaping the economy and is negatively impacting the lives of over 44 million Americans. There is currently over $1.3 trillion owed in student loans, $620 billion more than is owed by total U.S. credit card debt.

Student debt is a crippling issue, and if the U.S. doesn’t act soon, it will paralyze the nation’s economy.

The average Class of 2016 student owes $37,172 in loans, a six percent increase from the previous year, according to FederalReserve.org. The average amount owed has steadily risen for decades at a pace that far outweighs the minimum wage and average salaries throughout the nation.

Part of the increase stems from the fact that more people are going to college.

Enrollment increased by 31 percent from 2000 to 2014.

But unlike our grandparents and even our parents, a college degree is no longer a privilege, it’s a necessity. Professions screen for higher credentials even when they are not necessarily required thanks to the “credentialism” trend.

A struggling economy leads to higher competition for jobs and obviously the most educated person will be chosen over the other applicants. In many cases, even a degree isn’t enough to open doors, but it is inarguably more difficult without one.

College is no longer a choice, and for many that means they rely on loans to help them pay for the degree. Then they spend the next 10 to 25 years paying it off.

And students know this going in.

It’s caused many to pursue careers in the STEM fields rather than follow their passions in education, art or history.

Students are going into fields that offer financial security and later find themselves unhappy and unfulfilled.

Unless they land an extremely well paying job right after graduation, they are

shackled to their debt for a large portion of their adult lives.

According to the Federal Reserve, fewer 30-year-olds are buying houses, with the greatest decline in those with college debt. Graduates also aren’t taking the risk of being entrepreneurs, which is causing a decrease in small businesses, the backbone of the American economy.

When the majority of every paycheck goes toward rent, groceries, car payments, insurance and student loans, there is no room to invest.

Some believe the answer is to have individual states support tuition-free universities.

New York agreed to adopt this policy Friday. The tuition subsidy will have to be covered by either raising taxes or cutting funding elsewhere, and students are expected to remain working in the state for two to four years or else they will be sent a bill.

Others believe the U.S. should make college free across the country, like it is throughout Europe, by having a flat tax that pays the tuition. If everyone had the opportunity to go to college, more people would become educated, which in turn would boost the economy.

Perhaps the solution is in reducing the interest rates tacked onto loans that cause students to spend just as long paying interest as they do paying back the money they actually borrowed.

Maybe the answer is for the minimum wage to be raised to help even out the scale between students who work and the bills they pay at the beginning of every semester.

There isn’t one right answer, but the U.S. has to do something, and soon, or else the economy will continue to decline and students will forever be tethered to the insurmountable piles of debt they accumulate while working toward a degree.

What you said Associate Editor Breanne Williams asked students if they think student debt is a problem and how they would fix it.

“Yes. I think educating students more on the loans, maybe having more seminars would help.”

- Joshua Richardson, a senior majoring in chemistry

“Yes. I just read about the New York universities going tuition-free and I think that should be a form for public universities all over the country to follow.”

- Amanda Fitzgerald, a senior majoring in biomedical sciences “Yes, but I think for undergrad it isn’t as much of a problem because there are a lot of scholarships. It’s an issue, but it gets worse once you get to grad school.”

- Alejandra Mallorga, a senior majoring in biomedical sciences

“Yes. I’d say American citizens’ tax money should go toward paying college tuition.”

said, the price of tuition is “more than offset by the higher lifetime earnings.”

While that may be true of a STEM student, detractors might say an education major, which makes $40,000 a year on average, according to a survey done by the Department of Education, may face a stiffer financial burden than the $65,000 a year of a STEM graduate.

“You wind up disadvantaged just as you begin,” Melinda Lewis, associate professor at the University of Kansas School of Social Welfare told CNBC. “It has reduced the ability of our educational system to be a force for upward mobility, and for an equitable chance at upward mobility.

“It is still true that you are better positioned if you go to college, but you are not as much better positioned if you have to go to college with debt.”

The perpetual burden of student debt is also having a lasting effect on both the housing market and small businesses.

According to the Fed, fewer 30-year-olds have bought houses since the recession, with a greater decline in those with significant college debt.

With the average student accruing over $30,000 in loans, recent graduates are less likely to buy homes and to invest in small businesses.

According to research done by the Federal Reserve of Philadelphia focusing on the impact of student loan debt on small business, a person’s debt capacity can only hold so much.

When that capacity is filled up primarily with student loans, it dampens the probability of that person committing to outside endeavors.

“Given the importance of an entrepreneur’s personal debt capacity in financing a startup business, student loan debt, which is difficult to discharge via bankruptcy, can have lasting effects and may have an impact on the ability of future small business owners to raise capital,” the report states.

But for a select few, like Pease, these investments are the only way they can get by.

After graduating, Pease was scraping by working as a marketing analyst at St. Leo

making around $40,000 a year.

With $1,250 in monthly loan payments, his paychecks could barely cover expenses.

Pease ended up moving back home to New York to open a string of businesses.

He bought a lease-to-own lot with a 2,500 square-foot building where he opened a motel, an ice cream parlor and a clothing store.

With the money made off those investments, he was able to finance a sports bar and a pizza joint.

The income has helped stabilize his finances.

But Pease is in the minority, with few students able to make these commitments.

“I figured I was already six figures in debt with student loans, so, what’s more debt to me?”

Pease said. “If I never took the risk to open up my own business, I’d regret it for the rest of my life.”

New York is one of the first states looking to reverse that and innovate its college loan system to enable more financial stability for graduates.

It became the first state to make tuition free for four-year universities after Governor Andrew Cuomo introduced the tuition-free legislation in January, with lawmakers approving the plan last week.

Starting this fall, families that earn no more than $100,000 a year are eligible. The income cap will lift to $110,000 next year and will reach $125,000 in 2019.

In plain sight, this is the solution to student debt. But there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

“The tuition subsidy must be covered somehow, either by raising taxes or by reducing spending elsewhere,” Loewy said. “If the ‘free tuition’ were to lead to an increase in people attending college, then there are consequences to that as well – larger class sizes, a need to hire more faculty who must be paid, etc.

“It is not clear that students are better off in this case.”

Nonetheless, it could be the origin of a new wave of innovative thinking about how to lower the financial burden of attending college.

“At the end of the day, to obtain a good career nowadays, you almost always need a college degree,” Pease said. “But most 18-year-olds aren’t too worried about the college debt they will have to start paying down the road.”

was something not all students would have access to.

The opinion stated that it was not required for his actions to have impacted the vote in order for it to be an abuse of his position.

“We have a wide variety of students working with us tirelessly every day to submit evidence and work on building a stronger case for the appeal,” Kheireddine said.

Student Body Presidentelect Ryan Soscia said he will accept McDonald’s decision when it comes, even if it reinstates Kheireddine.

“I’m confident in the system and I’m confident that Logan and I, and our campaign, did things the right way,” he said.

Shakespeare exhibit comes to USF Health

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA

By Nicole Cate S T A F F

W R I T E R

Students who visit the Shimberg Health Sciences Library on campus are used to the quiet atmosphere and rows of medical textbooks. However, there is currently something near the south entrance that might catch people off-guard: An art exhibit focused on the works of William Shakespeare.

“And There’s the Humor of It: Shakespeare and the Four Humors” uses 8-foot tall panels, with information and images from old textbooks and props to examine Shakespeare’s use of the four humors in character creation.

The exhibit opened March 13 and closes Saturday.

The theory of the four humors

is an ancient medical one in which it is believed that certain physical characteristics and personality traits can be attributed to four bodily fluids.

Blood is related to the personality known as sanguine, and thought to be produced mainly by the liver. Phlegm, which temperament is called phlegmatic, is related to the brain. Black bile comes from the spleen and is connected to melancholia, and yellow bile, with its disposition called choleric, originates from the gall bladder.

Respectively, the personality traits attributed to each can be summarized as social, relaxed, quiet and short-tempered. The idea is to have a balance of all of these humors.

While unique in some aspects, this is not the first exhibit like this

Health Sciences Library, said they are “selective” in what they choose to show.

All of the presentations that one can find in the library have been borrowed from the National Library of Medicine, which is under the National Institute of Health.

“They curate different exhibits touching on different parts of our culture, and tie it to medicine,” Bland said.

This specific viewing was also done in partnership with the Folger Shakespeare Library in D.C., home to the largest collection of Shakespearean works in the world.

Jill Baker, fiscal and business specialist for the Shimberg Health Sciences Library, took the lead on planning and organizing the exhibit and its reception.

“They have a series of traveling

exhibits that they make available to libraries and universities throughout the country, and you have to get on their list,” Baker said. “Sometimes the wait is a long time.”

It took the library two years to get “And There’s the Humor of It.” To go along with the theme, they decorated the area with flowers that were popular in that time period, as well as quotes.

Not to mention, the library staff collaborated with another department on campus to expand the exhibit.

“We always add to ours and we try to have a little fun with it,” Baker said. “We have the costumes from that period that were borrowed from the Arts and Sciences theatre group.”

“We wanted to take a different approach, but I don’t think we did, not good enough anyway,” he said. “We only ended up with six hits, luckily four of them were home runs, and that was the major difference in the game.

“But we need to be better than we were today and my message to the team today was, ‘It was important that we got the win, but I expect us to be better than that.’”

Aside from Borders’ two home runs, Kevin Merrell and Joe Genord both hit solo home runs for USF. Though the offense wasn’t

He was removed from the game for precautionary reasons after he tweaked his groin reaching for a foul ball rolling down the first-base line in the top of the fifth.

Following his departure, the bullpen kept the Bearcats’ bats silent.

Mark Savarese and Joe Cavallaro combined to pitch the final 4 2/3 of the game, giving up just one hit while walking none and striking out five to seal the win.

USF looks to plant for the future

W R I T E R

A world without bees would result in the loss of about half the amount of fruits and vegetables found at grocery stores, according to BBC. That world is one that the civic engagement board for the Environmental Awareness and Animal Welfare Committee is working to prevent with its event Planting for the Future, which will take place Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Crescent Hill behind the Marshall Student Center.

Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in games that educate about how to live more sustainably. Guests can also sample local honey and paint a plant pot, among other activities.

“Ideally, we would want people to be more conscious … of the

issue, and we’re encouraging them to grow their own plants, eat their own herbs, grow vegetable gardens … just be more conscious,” said Jasmine Wood, coordinator of the Environmental Awareness and Animal Welfare Committee.

Wood said that the event will be fun, but still informative.

“We try to make it fun and interesting, we’re not just trying to lecture,” she said. “So, we try to make more tangible things you can do.”

The event aims to help students understand that being Earthconscious is not as overwhelming as it may seem.

Shannon Meara, a board member of the Environmental Awareness and Animal Welfare Committee, said she hopes the event will help people start growing more plants for bees to pollinate.

“I would hope that people would start to get into gardening, to start

planting their own flowers [as a result],” she said.

Seeds will be available for visitors to take to start their own gardens, or they can buy a garden plot in a community garden from Temple Terrace Farm 2 School, an organization that works to integrate gardening into local schools.

Ultimately, the event serves to educate visitors about the decline of bee populations as a result of human activity.

“Without bees, we wouldn’t have a lot of the food we have,” Wood said.

Meara echoed Wood’s sentiments.

“We’ve got to start putting our efforts into growing sustainable foods and making sure … that our habits don’t affect [the bees] negatively, and that we impact them in a positive way instead of the way that we’re going now,” she said.

E D I T O R

Upon walking through the gates of Corbett Stadium and into the throngs of buzzing USF football fans on Saturday afternoon, it was apparent there was something different about this year’s spring game.

In years past, fans would turn out to watch how key position battles would shake out and what the offense would resemble.

But Saturday’s final scrimmage of the spring instead served as a teaser of what’s to come this fall following the best season in USF football history.

With fans packing the stands and grass berms surrounding the field, it was easy to see how Bulls’ fans hope has manifested into expectations.

“We’re going to need this crowd and we’re going to need it each and every week,” USF coach Charlie Strong said. “Like I’ve said, we’re a big-time program, so we have to carry ourselves like a bigtime program. We need support, and it’s going to come from our

fans, but we have to give them a product they’re going to be pleased with. But I’m very pleased with the crowd today.”

The crowd, which was visibly the largest in recent memory, was reflective of spiking season ticket sales.

As of Wednesday, USF has distributed 8,734 season tickets for the upcoming season, or nearly 1,300 more than at this point last year, according to a report by the Tampa Bay Times.

The feel-good afternoon was highlighted by a halftime ceremony in which quarterback Quinton Flowers was presented with the CFPA National Performer of the Year Award and Tampa Rays founder Vince Naimoli announced his donation of $1 million to the football and tennis programs.

Flowers, who battled for the starting job with former quarterback Mike White just two springs ago, threw two passes on Saturday.

He threw a 24-yard touchdown and an interception on his two attempts in what was essentially a brief showcase for fans.

Starting running back D’Ernest

Johnson was held out Saturday, but Strong wasn’t concerned with what he should expect from the senior back.

“I didn’t need to see D’Ernest, I’ve seen enough of him,” Strong said. “We know how good of a player that he is.”

Once Flowers was permanently on the sideline, the game developed into a contest between quarterbacks Chris Oladokun and Brett Kean for the backup role.

Kean threw for 151 yards and two scores, with 123 yards and both scores going to senior receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, as their Green team defeated Oladokun’s White team 15-14 in a back-andforth game.

With Johnson sidelined for the afternoon, Darius Tice started for the White team, rushing for 59 yards on seven carries. On the other side, Elijah Mack received most of the work, rushing for 60 yards on 14 carries.

With spring practices wrapped up, the Bulls will return to the gridiron when training camp begins in early August.

Senior designated hitter Luke Borders hit his fourth and fifth home runs of the season Sunday.

Cincinnati right fielder A.J. Bumpass halfheartedly gave chase as he watched the baseball rocket off Luke Borders’ bat and sail over the fence.

The solo home run was Borders’ second of Saturday afternoon and helped USF (297, 5-4) retake a 3-2 lead in the 8th inning in an eventual 4-2 win over the Bearcats at the USF Baseball Stadium.

“It felt great,” Borders said of his game-winning home run.

“Regardless of what you do, whenever you can hit a home run like that to help the team get the win, it’s always a good feeling.

USF, which lost the first game of the series 9-3 and then lost in the 10th inning on Friday, salvaged the series with its win on Saturday.
