With phase one of The Village nearing its end, USF is beginning a new stage of campus housing.

Beacon Hall and Summit Hall opened their doors to residents this fall. The $138 million project appears to be well received by most residents.

“This is the dorm everyone wants to come to,” Jorge Carrillo, a sophomore majoring in biomedical sciences and a resident of Summit Hall, said. “You’re with your friends 24/7 doing all kinds of stuff like ping-pong or studying, so you get the whole campus experience. I plan to stay on campus because it’s been

phenomenal.”

Ana Hernandez, the assistant vice president of Housing and Residential Education, is overseeing the expansion of on-campus living.

“Students are very excited to be the first residents in the building, and they’re excited about just being in The Village,” Hernandez said.

USF is primarily a commuter campus. Hernandez said she thinks The Village will assist in the availability of housing to students and help USF move toward a more residential campus.

Phase one of The Village is complete with the exception of the new satellite fitness center, which is currently under construction. Phase

two of the project will include three more residence halls: Endeavor, Horizon and Pinnacle. This addition will bring the total number of students being housed in The Village to 2,000.

“We are in transition still I think,” Hernandez said.

“When phase two of The Village gets built we’ll have over 6,000 beds on campus, but when you compare that to 40,000 students, it’s still a smaller portion of students that will live on campus.”

There has been a steady increase in residence hall rates over the past two years.

Some of the most dramatic increases of the past two years have occurred in Holly twobedrooms with an increase of

Hurricane Irma’s projected path of impact leaves those in the Bay Area questioning their safety. The storm should make landfall Florida by the weekend. Currently a Category 4, thoughts of the devastation caused by similarly ranked Hurricane Charley in 2004 are lingering in the backs of Floridian’s minds.

Ad a m Bakst, a sophomore majoring in mass communications, has lived in Tampa all of his life and remembers the impact hurricanes have had in Tampa and the surrounding communities.

“It is scary because I don’t think that Tampa/St. Pete are ready, infrastructure wise especially, for that much rain water to flood the city,” Bakst said. “That’s kind of the

problem I see with Houston too, too much water out of nowhere and just all of the sudden.”

The storm has also caught the attention of state government officials, as Gov. Rick Scott urged Floridians to pay close attention to Irma’s path.

“As we continue to monitor Hurricane Irma, families should make sure their Disaster Supply Kits are ready today … FL knows how important it is to be prepared,” Scott said in a series of tweets on Sunday.

“Encourage your loved ones to have a plan ahead of any potential storm.’’

Common hurricane supply kits include water and food to last for a minimum of three days, battery powered radios, flashlights, first aid kits and toiletries, among other items, according to the National

The problem with the Centrist movement: does it even exist?

T H E O R AC L E

U.S. K-12 schools should overhaul mental health programs

By Samantha Moffett C O L U M N I S T

Analyzing the core assumptions of Centrism reveals its inadequacy as an ideology and political movement.

SPECIAL TO THE ORACLE

By Eric Kopelovitch C O L U M N I S T

The Centrist movement in the U.S. suffers from a major issue: they don’t exist and they don’t even know it.

Centrism is the political philosophy that focuses on pragmatism and solutions. On its official website, the Centrist Party states, “Centrism isn’t defined by compromise or moderation, but is considerate of them.” There are many issues with this line of thinking.

First off, Centrism can only exist in the presence of at least two other incompatible ideologies. In the U.S. these two main ideologies are embodied by liberals/progressives and conservatives/alt-right. This contingency is an issue because the assumption of Centrism is that these two moral frameworks are on opposite ends of a spectrum and will never agree.

However, this simply isn’t true.

There are issues that cause the boundaries of seemingly opposite ideologies to overlap.

Consider the unusual alliance between some radical feminists and conservative Christians, two groups

one would never expect to see in agreement.

American radical feminist Andrea Dworkin is a great example. One of Dworkin’s most prominent campaigns was against the porn industry. She argued that pornography was degrading to women and the sexual revolution damaged men, women and children alike. The New York Times notes that her views allowed her to foster unlikely friendships with like-minded conservatives, such as former Bush administration speechwriter David Frum and anti-abortion activist Charlotte Allen.

This improbable alliance demonstrates that ideologies don’t exist in relation to each other in some strict geometric definition. They exist as blurry abstractions with a culture and history. But with no linear relationship between ideologies, there can be no center. Essentially, the center exists as a myth to give the claimed centrist an appeal at rationality.

The entire left/right political distinction is nonsense to begin with. It emerged during the French

Revolution, when supporters of the King having strong veto power sat to his right while those opposed to this power were seated to his left.

This has been the dominant narrative for political distinctions ever since, though this must be said with the caveat that there are many competing models describing political thoughts in relation to one another. More reason not to continue this centrist mythology of the middle—it serves no purpose other than to mislead.

Finally, Centrism, unlike the other sides, lacks solid fundamental beliefs.

The Western worldview has infected political dialogue until today with the idea that compromise is the most rational response to a solution. This idea needs to be challenged because politics isn’t defined by the willingness to compromise and compromise is not, in itself, a philosophy. And yet, Centrism makes use of compromise more than it adheres to any structured set of ideas. In doing so, it loses the ability to call itself an ideology or a political movement.

Eric Kopelovitch is a senior majoring in political science and accounting.

There are currently 15 million school-aged children in the U.S. battling a mental disorder every day, as reported by the American Psychological Association. This harsh reality faced by handicapped students needs to spark a change within school systems to prioritize mental health issues.

According to the Harvard Center on the Developing Child, mental health issues often emerge during childhood, and it is imperative to recognize the early signs. The center also reports that children suffering from mental health disorders often exhibit disruptive behavior in the classroom, but sending a child home from school early can be counterproductive.

Not only does punishing a child in this way cause them to fall behind in their schoolwork, it can also interfere with the parents’ work schedules.

While many schools attempt to individualize lessons to help children with mental handicaps, most schools do not focus on this issue as heavily as they need to.

Also, the schools with mental health programs in place are often flooded with too many cases and insufficient resources. This deficit is reflected in a statistic reported by the Association for Children’s Mental Health, which states that a staggering 80 percent of children with mental health disorders do not receive proper care.

School systems and parents that fail to recognize the early symptoms are letting these children fall through the cracks. In the same way that schools require physical health checkups, mental health needs to be evaluated with just as much importance.

Furthermore, the U.S. Library of National Medicine suggests that younger children are more likely to

internalize problems to fit in with their peers, which can cause children to have more severe breakdowns in the classroom when they become frustrated.

Whether treated for their disorder or not, because virtually all students are held to the same performance standards, they are expected to come to school and act as though their mental health is something separate from their learning habits. That is simply not the case.

Teachers should not be taught one universal way of approaching every child in their classroom, but rather different ways that cater to various learning styles and psychological challenges. When school systems begin to put a heavier emphasis on recognizing and addressing the needs of students with mental health disorders, students will find the ability to learn and apply information more effectively.

This concept is widely supported by educational psychologists and is explored in depth in “Mental Health Practices in Today’s Schools,” a manual on educational psychology written by Raymond Witte and G. Susan MosleyHoward, tenured faculty members of Miami University’s College of Education.

Mental health can be misunderstood in today’s society, and those with psychological disorders often suffer in silence — this is especially true for children. There is consensus among the psychology community that the time is now for school systems to address mental health disorders within their student bodies and provide help to those who need it.

“We have been approved for a three-year rate increase and so this year is the second of that three-year plan,” Hernandez said. “I’m anticipating we’ll have some rate increase next year as well, but we’re trying to evaluate what exactly we need in order to accomplish the goals we have.”

The quality of on-campus living is expected to improve with these increases, according to Hernandez.

Hurricane Center.

Sheba Cherian, a freshman majoring in biomedical sciences, said the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey — which landed as a Category 4 in Houston— has caused a higher level of stress about the storm in her mind.

“I am afraid of the impact after seeing the devastating situations in Houston, because Florida is one of the states that are close to sea level and with the hurricane’s aid, it can cause more flooding and damage in our area,” she said.

The University of South Florida System Hurricane Guide urges students to follow the process of: Get a Kit, Make a Plan, Be Informed.

stewards,” Hernandez said.

“We’re investing everything we’re getting right back into the student experience.”

The housing department is attempting to look toward the future and make on-campus living an integral part of the college experience, according to Hernandez.

“When you think of a commuter campus, usually people are just showing up for a transaction. They drive, they park, they go to class, then they get in their car and go home. What we’re trying to do is create a transformational experience. I think we’re on the right path,” Hernandez said. “There are sites in our master plan on the campus for expanded housing. We’ll just need to see what the demand looks like for us in the future.”

In the fall of 2016, about 70 percent of freshman attending USF Tampa chose on-campus housing. Even come first. This was made evident with closures during Hurricane Charley in 2004.

However, per The University of South Florida System Hurricane Guide, “If USF lies within the National Hurricane Center’s (NHC) Five-Day (120hour) Cone of Uncertainty, USF will monitor reports by the NHC and National Weather Service regarding the storm’s characteristics (size, intensity, speed, and projected place of landfall) and the projected impact on our area. These reports and the actions taken by local government will guide the USF System in its decision to cancel classes, close campuses, or evacuate campuses.”

Before declaring an official state of emergency on Monday for all of Florida’s counties, Scott said via twitter that he is, “continuing to coordinate with emergency management officials as we monitor Irma.”

with the rising costs, new students are still drawn to residence halls as opposed to off-campus apartments.

In 2014, the National Multifamily Housing Council conducted a study on 165 college students at four universities, one of which was the University of Florida.

They found factors like GPA, persistence, and personal and social development was not affected by living accommodations, but rather more by academic year.

Regardless of this research and rising costs, most students seem to have positive experiences living on-campus.

“If you want to be on campus since you’re busy with school and extracurriculars all the time, then [it] may be a good option,” Nicholas Fabbrocile, a junior majoring in integrative animal biology, said. “If you don’t have a reason to be on campus 24/7,

find an apartment. It is indeed a cheaper option.”

Aside from convenience, there are other benefits of living on-campus. Cleaning services, safety and included utilities are often overlooked advantages.

Even with all the updates USF is implementing, cost is still one of the biggest factors students must consider. The reality for students is that there are more affordable, private and spacious apartment complexes offcampus.

Katie Preu, a junior majoring in elementary education, made the decision to move off-campus this year after living on-campus for the past two years.

“I decided to live offcampus because I wanted to live in an apartment that was regular size as opposed to a dorm style apartment,” Preu said. “I also enjoy the quiet space and living off-campus

was more cost effective.”

Some students may argue there are just as many opportunities to participate in the college experience while residing in off-campus living.

Keondre Patterson is a resident at Summit Hall and a junior majoring in marketing and entrepreneurship.

“My brother lives offcampus and he still manages to do a lot of things, even things I don’t know about,” Patterson said. “I would like to move off-campus because it’s cheaper and I wouldn’t have to share a room.”

Students must decide whether the convenience and unique experience of living on-campus is worth the cost.

“It depends what income you’re in and what problems we have. For me, it’s actually been a fair price and I don’t see it as a bother,” Carillo said.

Bulls pull away late for win over Stony Brook UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA

The Rundown Irma to cause possible rescheduling Due to concerns swirling around Hurricane Irma, the NFL is reportedly considering changing the date or location of the Week 1 game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Miami Dolphins that was to be played in Miami. According to Steven Wine from the Associated Press, the game that is scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m. ET could be moved up to Thursday or Friday. Despite sharing the same bye week in week 11, both Buccaneers and Dolphins officials informed the NFL they would not be interested in playing week 11. The Jacksonville Jaguars are playing in Houston in week 1.

USF drops two over weekend to ranked opponents

E d i t o r

After a home win on Aug. 28 to start the Bob Butehorn era, the Bulls went on the road for the Adidas/IU Credit Union Classic in Bloomington, Indiana and finished the weekend winless.

Starting with an overtime loss to No. 17 Butler 2-1, USF fell to No. 7 Indiana (4-0) on Sunday 3-0 in front of 3,168 in attendance at Bill Armstrong Stadium, despite recording the same number of shots as the Hoosiers.

Even with the lopsided score, coach Butehorn said the game against Indiana was a lot closer than the score suggested.

“The score definitely does not reflect the quality of which our guys played,” Butehorn said following the loss. “We gained valuable experience on the road and will continue to take steps to improve our focus in critical moments of the game.”

The Bulls look to utilize their experience gained from the weekend on Friday when the Bulls travel to Omaha, Nebraska to face No. 23 Creighton who went 1-1 over the past weekend.

Three games into the season, senior forward Bradley Farias leads the team with two goals.

Tice, who’s listed as the Bulls’ No. 2 running back on the USF depth chart, outplayed No. 1 running back D’Ernest Johnson (13 carries, 15 yards) on Saturday, averaging 3.6 yards per carry to Johnson’s 1.2.

Though they were closer in yards per carry in the Bulls’ opener at San Jose State, Tice was still more efficient with an average of 4.7 yards to Johnson’s 4.5.

No comment was made by Strong post game in regard to who would be the lead running back moving forward.

Though it was the offense that pulled through in the games final minutes, it may be the Bulls’ defense that leads USF in games moving forward.

“The thing that’s happening with us now is we’re playing better defense,” Strong

After Creighton, USF will return home for a four-game home stand beginning Sept. 14 against Stetson and concludes with a match against UCF on Sept. 23 at Corbett Stadium.

Women’s soccer loses to Ohio State

USF fell to Ohio State 6-2 on Sunday night in front of 682 fans in Columbus, Ohio.

In the loss, sophomore Aubrey Megrath and freshman Sarah Harrison each scored their first goals of the season against Ohio State (4-0-1), which was in the NCAA tournament last season.

“We talked a lot about capitalizing on opportunities high up the field and I thought we matched up well against them systematically,” Ohio State coach Lori Walker-Hock said after defeating USF. “We did a really good job of capitalizing on their mistakes. I’m really pleased with the variety in our attack and the ability to have six different players score a goal.”

USF (3-2-0), which has more newcomers than returning players in 2017, will return home for a game against Mississippi State on Thursday before traveling to play Florida next Sunday said. “So now it’s not all on the offense’s shoulder where they have to go score because we’re going to give up points on defense. I told them, the plan to win is go play great defense.”

In 2016, the Bulls’ defense gave up an average of 380 yards per game, ranking 52nd in the nation. Saturday, the Bulls gave up only 229 yards of total offense to the Sea Wolves and forced two turnovers.

“All things that happened today, all of the issues we had, they can be corrected,” Strong said. “What’s good now is we go on the road to play Connecticut and we know we can’t go out there and play like we did that last two weeks. We have to get our minds right and stay focused.

“We need to create turnovers, score in the red zone, and win in the kicking game – which we haven’t done.”

USF (2-4) finished the Bulldog Invitational in Starkville, Mississippi 1-2, defeating

Grambling State (2-5) three sets to none on Saturday night, but fell to Stephen F. Austin (7-1) and Mississippi State (4-3) Friday.

In the tournament, USF junior middle blocker Clara Payne was named to the all-tournament team after recording match highs of six kills and six blocks with an .857 hitting percentage in the Bulls’ win against Grambling State.

“As a whole we were sharp and consistent today,” USF coach Courtney Draper said after

Saturday’s win. “Our middies (middle hitters) were excellent both offensively and defensively.

Our solid passing from the setters really allowed us to spread the offense and get contributions from a number of people.”

Now, with two tournaments under their belt, USF returns home to host the USF Classic tournament. The Bulls will play Bethune-Cookman Friday at 7 p.m. before facing FAU at 1 p.m. and Oral Roberts at 7 p.m.

Saturday.

Connecticut at noon next Saturday in the first conference game of the season for both teams. The Huskies, which USF beat 42-27 last year, struggled against a Division I-AA opponent as well last weekend, narrowly defeating Holy Cross 27-20.

Despite UConn’s 3-9 record in 2016, Strong knows that since USF is ranked, they’ll be getting every team’s best shot.

“You’re the No. 19 ranked team in the nation,” Strong told his players. “They’re going to come in and they’re going to and play, so don’t think that all of a sudden they’re just going to come here and sleep walk through this game.

“Think about it, you’re a ranked team, so now that you’re a ranked team everybody expects you to come in and play well and they’re going to play well too.”

Even with two lackluster starts to open the season, Strong doesn’t see why the

No. 19 Bulls would drop in the polls.

“I don’t know if we’ll drop,” Strong said. “We don’t have any reason to drop, we just have to be better.”

With USF likely being ranked until they lose, Strong said the pressure may have an effect on the team moving forward, but emphasized that his message to the team is to take everything one game at a time and to ignore outside comments.

“It’s a one game season.

Just focus on the opponent we’re playing, don’t worry about everyone else is saying,” Strong said. “Sometimes it’s hard to handle success when you keep hearing it all the time…A lot of times when you’re ranked and what everybody is saying about you, you go out there and tighten up.”

Flowers (253 total yards Saturday), who was considered a Heisman candidate pre-season, has started his 2017 cam-

paign slowly in comparison to 2016. One possibility for his and the offense’s production drop thus far in 2017 is adjusting to a new coaching staff.

“Everybody’s still trying to adjust (to a new coaching staff), even me,” Flowers said.

“There’s some things that my coach wants to see out of me and I’m still trying to figure out the reason why he wants to go there, and what he’s going there for so I can understand too.”

Strong, despite the past two games, doesn’t have any worries about his quarterback moving forward.

“You get frustration when the run games not going, then throws aren’t being made and then some dropped throws,” Strong said. “He’s such a competitor, every time he walks out he expects to be perfect, which I told him it won’t always happen, but when you have that competitive edge like he has that’s what happens to you.”
