Seven immersion trips to take place during the 2015-16 school year

There are three immersion trips taking place over spring break in March, and four after commencement in May. More opportunities for immersion trips will then begin in January 2017, including a new trip to the U.S. Mexican border.

Any undergraduate student can apply for an immersion trip. “We always want a mix of majors, ethnicity and ages; the more diverse the better,” said Andy Costigan immersion co-ordinator at JCU.

Immersion trips are a seven to ten day long experience where JCU students, faculty and staff are immersed in culture as well as the reality of the locations they are going to. Each im-mersion trip can be different depending on what location the student chooses to go to.

“Honduras is hands on treatment, some are that way.” Costigan said. “In Ecuador and Ja-maica, you are to be present with people of that place and build relationships, and challenge yourself to see God in all people.”

Andrea Regrut, a junior communications major, went on an immersion trip to Guatemala last year.

“I feel that students should go on immersion trips because it allows you to experience a culture that is different from your own,” said Regrut. “It gives students an opportunity to see the world from someone else’s eyes.”

When Andrea was in Guatemala, she visited monuments, completed service projects, and went into cities like Antigua. Her group helped build drainage systems for a school and taught preschool lessons.

“My favorite part about going to Guatemala would probably be being with the kids, and

John Carroll students and faculty went on an immersion trip to Ecuador in May 2015. Immersions are a seven to ten day experience in another country.

Author and activist Alyse Schacter spoke to a group of about 100 John Carroll students on Tuesday, Feb. 16 regarding mental illness and the issues surrounding it.

Originally from Canada, 25-year-old Schacter has been traveling around Canada and the United States, speaking to groups about her struggle with mental illness. To date, she has made around 600 speeches.

“When I was in fifth grade, I was accepted into the gifted program in school, and because of the high stress, I stopped eating and sleeping became hard.” Schacter began. She would soon realize that what she was experiencing was the first stages of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, or OCD.

When she was forced to stay home due to illness in the seventh grade, Schacter’s OCD made itself apparent.

“I had been in bed with a high fever and wanted to brush my teeth. When my parents came home from work about an hour later, I was still brushing the same tooth and I could not stop.” Schacter said.

The OCD that Schacter experienced was debilating. “I felt like I couldn’t get through tasks without repeating,” she said. She also describes being late to class because she was convinced that something bad would happen if she stepped on a crack on the floor, and kept on returning back to the front of the building to start over. She also had a superstition regarding the number seven, and anytime she heard or read it she would make a high pitched noise.

Simple, mundane tasks would take her hours. Showering would take up whole days, with Schacter spending seven to eight hours in the shower, and getting dressed could take up to three hours.

She was first hospitalized at age twelve for her OCD. It was here that she realized that everyone is affected by mental illness, no matter what age, gender or ethnicity.

She stayed three months in the hospital, but in the tenth grade her mental illness became too hard to handle. She dropped out of school and began volunteering full time. She entered the hospital again,

As the supply of water in Flint, Mich. becomes increasingly toxic, environmentally and socially conscious students at John Carroll University are organizing to help relieve the problem. Deemed,“Operation Hydration,” members of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity, African American Alliance and the Environmental Issues Group are coming together to collect bottles of water, water filters and monetary donations for the people of Flint.

The goal of the project is to collect or fundraise for 200 cases of water, as well as buying water filtration systems for the people of Flint, so they can ensure their health once water is deemed safe enough drink again.

Senior Dan Volpe, a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity, became interested in the subject matter by way of his senior chemistry project. As he began to notice that different water fountains across campus produced unique tastes, he collected and analyzed different water samples across campus. As his knowledge of water intensified, Volpe became more cognizant of the lack of national understanding surrounding issues of hydration, especially in light of the atrocities taking place in Flint, Mich. “My passion was only amplified when I realized there’s a national need to understand the water we drink.” Volpe said. “It is simply inexcusable that there is little to no accountability on the government institutions involved. Thus, I find it important to act as student-citizens to raise awareness of the problems at hand, taking action and holding those who have caused this responsible.”

As Volpe was having his own hydration revelation, members of the Environmental Issues Group were also concerned with the happenings in Flint. Monica Angelotti, President of EIG, said, “We came up with the idea of a water drive, and when I went to

Nominees must be graduating seniors and are voted on by the senior class. For more information and to apply, visit the JCU Campus Ministry Page. Nominations for the Beaudry award are due Feb. 26 by 5 p.m.

Following the passing of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia on Saturday, Feb. 13, The Carroll News staff reached into the archives to show readers a past front page featuring Scalia and a visit he made to John Carroll University.

Scalia visited the University in 2003 to speak about the United States Constitution and its religious clauses. In his lecture, Scalia, appointed under former president Ronald Reagan as a conservative judge, noted that he did not believe

the meaning of the Constitution should change over time to reflect the changing lifestyles of the American people. Rather, Scalia believed in a strict, literal interpretation of the constitution.

Scalia’s lecture was not without controversy. A group of students wearing lettered T-shirts that spelled “stop war” stood up while Scalia spoke.

One of the students started to recite “A Moment of Silence Before I Start This Poem,” a three-page poem about the September 11, 2001 attacks.

The student was detained by Campus Safety Services (CSS), and was kept from re-entering the lecture.

The John Carroll University Pre-Medicine Club will hold its first event, a medical school student panel, on Monday, Feb. 22, at 7 p.m. in AD 258.

JCU graduate students Rachel Wilson, Brigid Prayson, Ethan Simpson and undergraduate sophomore Anastasia Dines are co-presidents of the club. Kathy Lee, assistant dean for health programs, is the faculty advisor.

The four co-presidents decided to start the club because they wanted an additional resource for students who plan on going to medical school. They enjoyed the pre-health professions club at John Carroll, but wanted another club with a more narrow focus on pre-med students.

Lee agreed to be the club’s faculty advisor because she could see the potential benefits of the pre-med club. “It’s going to give those students a different perspective and further insight into the world of medicine.”

Lee continued, “I felt like it was a great idea and being the pre-health advisor, it was a natural fit for me to be their faculty advisor.”

There are several objectives of the pre-medicine club. The co-presidents plan on holding events that are specifically geared toward the goal of becoming a physician, such as medical student and physician panels, guest speakers, and learning how to recognize vital signs in patients.

The club will also focus on professional development and networking in order to strengthen medical school applications. The pre-medicine club aims to offer guidance on internships and community service.

The students also plan on enhancing pre-medicine education. Additionally, they would like to create an environment that builds leaders among future physicians.

Co-president Anastasia Dines explains that she thinks the club will impact JCU students. “The pre-medicine club will give valuable insight and information to pre-med students about the journey and experiences to medical school and through it.”

Dines continued, “Our goal is to provide as many resources as possible to members so that they have a good foundation of knowledge about the field they aspire to go into.”

The pre-medicine club is not designed to prepare members for the MCAT, which is the

for six months this time, but her illness was not responding to treatment. Schacter enrolled in a GED program, and the summer before her senior year, she was

excepted into the Harvard University mental illness unit, where she would stay for 90 days to try treatment-exposure response therapy, which is a therapy that tries to expose people to their triggers in order to desensitize them and lessen the effects.

At this point in her life, Schacter was spending about 18 hours a day in rituals, and was sent home from Harvard after 31 days because her illness was too severe.

However, she did learn a lot of skills from her month at Harvard. “I saw people who were adults, who had jobs and families and children, who also had mental illness. I saw that it would be possible for me to live with OCD,” she said.

Schacter later went to college in her hometown, and it was here where she really conquered her OCD.

She discovered “an amazing group of friends, who were gradually aware of my rituals, but I still felt the need to hide it from them.”

Her friends only found out about her mental illness when a documentary that detailed her battle came out, and her friends started asking about the girl on the television that looked like her and had her name.

When she finally did come out to her friends about her illness, she felt relieved. Today, Schacter is applying to medical schools and only has triggers for about two to

three hours a day. She shares her story because she hopes that it will inspire communication amongst the public about mental illness.

“With stuff like diabetes and cancer, every knows about it, but with mental health stuff, every is so scared to talk about it. We may not know someone is suffering, but every single person knows someone who has suffered with mental illness.”

Schacter closed the speech by urging everyone to have courage about mental illness and talk about it even though it is uncomfortable.

“For me, I never really feel angry, but I would get so frustrated. Labels are so damaging, and we can work on watching our language that could possibly be damaging people. I feel like even with the changes we have made there is still a lot of work to be done.”

As for advice for others who may be experiencing mental illness, Schacter said, “Be really aware of those around you. Be brave. Be courageous. Talk to people. Be a supportive friend. If you are struggling, reach out. If we start talking about this and doing something about it there will be real change.”

She went on to say to those with mental illness, “You deserve to be happy. And sometimes, these things get in the way of you being as happy as possible. But reach out. You will be so surprised at how much support you will get from others. You are going to conquer so many things. So many good things come from the worst things.

Sophomore Ashley Johenning was happy that Schacter came to speak, saying “I thought it was really great. It’s something really important.”

also sharing the experience with my JCU group, we had a great group.” Regrut continued, “Being with a group without technology really brought us together, seeing a third world country and the poverty makes you stronger and closer because you see it and experience it together.”

Immersion trips have been a part of John Carroll for 15 years. “It is faith that does justice to help the poor, and influence how students will perform in

and out of the classroom and after graduation,” said Costigan. Costigan attended an immersion trip as a junior when he attended John Carroll. It opened

his eyes to wanting to work with the poor. Costigan is still friends with his immersion group and believes that groups who go experience a true sense of community together.

“Immersions expand circles, make students feel alive and it is life-giving,” said Costigan. If interested in an immersion trip students are encouraged to go to www.jcu.edu/immer-

sion to complete an application. The application process consists of filling out a few short answers and essay questions.

Students will then participate in a short interview given by the student leaders. A week later; students will receive emails telling them if they have been accepted. Applications are due Friday, Feb. 26 at 5 p.m.

JCUPD arrested a man on campus who may be potentially responsible for the thefts that occurred in December of last semester. Last semester, four televisions were stolen from the Boler School of Business, as well as a laptop and two outlets. Additionally, a laptop, wallet and purse were stolen from the Grasselli

Library. A laptop was also stolen from the O’Malley Center. Assistant director to JCUPD Brian Hurd noted that the thief stole these items from common areas and offices as well as classrooms and

the Administration Building. Some of the offices were left unlocked, opened with a key, or potentially pick-locked, according to Hurd. The total number of thefts that happened in December amounts to 15, and eight since winter break.

According to Hurd, one man has been arrested twice since the fall semester thefts occurred. JCUPD arrested him once in the fall and a second time in January. Both instances were because of theft and he was told not to come back to campus.

Hurd said that the suspect may be “responsible for more but cannot prove it.” Hurd also said, “There is nothing to tie him to that in particular.” JCUPD has access to the background and criminal records of the suspect.

Hurd said JCUPD is currently working with University Heights on prosecution.There are some other leads, according to Hurd but they have not been substantial. The thief likely took advantage of what Hurd calls a “crime of opportunity,” or a quick crime caused by

not being watched, and committed with little planning. JCUPD is working with the University Heights police department to investigate any leads they may have. The investigation process includes tracking any credit cards that were stolen

from wallets and seeing when they were used at multiple stores. They then can match up when the card was used with the identity of the suspect. “We are making slow progress, “ said Hurd.

test that all pre-med students must take before being accepted into medical school. However, the founders intend on inviting guest speakers who can discuss tips for medical school ap-plications, especially interviews and personal statements.

Before the Office of Student Engagement recognized the pre-medicine club, the co-founders had a year-long registration process. They had to fill out several forms and hold meetings with students interested in joining the club. The co-founders also had to write a constitution for the club, which sets rules for the club regarding membership, advisory, and the club’s mission statement.

Students who wish to participate in the pre-medicine club must pay annual dues of $20 and keep a minimum GPA of 3.0. Club meetings are held biweekly after being inducted into the club. Co-president Rachel Wilson has high hopes for the pre-medicine club, “We are excited to offer this additional resource to students and we look forward to seeing the club develop over

the years.”The pre-medicine club is looking forward to its new members and can be reached at premedicineclub@jcu.edu.

John Carroll ranked number four in Ohio for earning potentialCarly CundiffCampus Editor

John Carroll University ranked fourth out of 20 Ohio schools in terms of earning potential, according to a study done by Cleveland.com.

The results, derived from the U.S. Department of Education annual collegiate scorecard and a Georgetown University study, focuses on student earnings 10 years after beginning their studies. It does not factor in major or whether the students graduate or not, according to Cleveland.com.

The study calculated the earning of students who attended 1,400 four-year universities nationwide. The federal data is based on the income of former students who received financial aid while attending college.

The median annual earning of JCU students after 10 years was $51,000, according to the study. “I’m excited that we were ranked so high,” said junior Anne Marie Kirchner. “I think it’s something

we deserve and I hope we live up to it.”Sophomore Janessa Brickman agrees, saying that she believes this gives John Carroll students “even

more motivation to reach our potentials, whether it is through academics or extracurriculars. Knowing that after I graduate, I will have the skills necessary to become successful in my chosen field reinforces my decision to come to Carroll. The success of alumni before me reminds me of the valuable education I am receiving here on a daily basis and how the financial sacrifice I have to make now will pay off in the long run.”

In a twist of school spirit, sophomore Mario Volpe said, “I think it’s great because we beat Mount Union.”Photo courtesy of The Carroll News

meet with Center for Service and Social Action about it, I was informed that Dan Volpe of SigEp had already begun a collection of water and money and that’s when we started working together and came up with the idea of a workshop to provide a long-term advocacy aspect to this project.” The groups teamed up with Sister Catherine Feeley of CSSA to get started on the advocacy project.

The African American Alliance also joined the two student organizations. “AAA’s involvement comes with advocating for poor and minority communities. A majority of Flint is black and the poverty rate there is over 40 percent, and we have seen communities of color hit the hardest when it comes to environmental crises. It is important to make people aware of this truth and understand why this is an issue of discrimination as well, because we are confident that this would not happen in an affluent community.” Angelotti said.

President of African American Alliance, Junior Dwight Venson, stressed AAA’s support of the initiative. “AAA has been in full support of the project. We are in the process of having our own internal fund raiser for the cause and even have members that have been working with outside organizations to transport water. This is a cause that is very important to us because it directly impacts our community. It has been fantastic working with the other organizations for a good cause,” Venson said.

Along with their fundraising efforts, the groups also hope the project acts as a form of consciousness raising. “I’m hoping this thing makes people aware of the grave effects of institu-tional weaknesses on an already struggling community,” Angelotti said. “This all comes back to the importance of keeping our elected officials in check, some of which we can control and some of which we cannot, but be aware. Putting pressure on our officials to look out for us is something that we shouldn’t have to do, but sometimes it is necessary.”

The student groups will be hosting a workshop on March 10 at 7 p.m. (location pending), which will consist of a panel of speakers to talk about the various aspects of the situation in Flint and how we can protect our community.

To get involved, Operation Hydration suggests donating money to go toward cases of water or filters if one is able. For more information, contact Dan Volpe at dvolpe16@jcu.edu or Monica Angelotti at mangelotti17@jcu.edu. “Any amount helps,” Angelotti said. “The easiest thing people can do, though, is spread the word and talk about the issue.”

The CN interviews duo band, “Shane & Emily” at JCU performanceThe Carroll News interviewed “Shane

& Emily,” the fun and quirky band duo, at their John Carroll University concert perfor-mance on Saturday, Feb. 13, 2016.

CN: How did you guys meet and how did you start making music together?

Shane Anderson: We met at open mic! How perfect is that?

Emily Grace: It was like the most disgust-ing, trashy, little metal-head bar that you have ever been to in your life. People had spikes all over their leather jackets and mo-hawks and I don’t know why I was hanging out there, but I did all the time. I had a friend who said that he had a friend that was into music and had connections. He was like, “You should come meet him at the open mic next week.” And I was like, “Oh, maybe.” I went and I saw him and I was like, “Okay. Alright. I see now.” I was instantly in love with him, but he wasn’t interested in me.

Anderson: That’s not true!

Grace: Anyway, Ed Sheeran’s “Give Me Love” was the first song we ever sang to-gether. We were sitting in his friend’s house and he started to play it on the guitar and we were like, “We should do this at the coffee shop down the street.”

CN: How did you develop a passion for music, performing and writing?

Anderson: When I started to like music, it was the Relient K record “Mmhmm.” I lis-tened to that record when someone showed it to me and there was this song, “Let It All Out,” and I became obsessed with it. Then, I found out that he’s Canadian and I’m Ca-nadian, so it all worked out. From that whole CD, I learned how to play drums, guitar, bass, and harmony and singing because I wanted to learn every aspect of that CD, front and back. So, that’s how music started for me.

Grace: I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember; since I was two. We have videos of me screaming at the breakfast table, just giving it my all. But I have just always been singing. My mom sings The Carpenters be-cause she sounds like Karen Carpenter and my dad played the guitar and the piano, so I really grew up around it. He helped me write my first song when I was nine-years-old. It

was called “One More Step,” but that is all I remember. The song that made me want to start writing music is called “I-540” by The Wedding. It was the song that I always listened to and I was like, “You know what? I’m going to start writing music.” And I just did. And it was all really angst-y. Like 13-year-old-I-hate-everybody. I was such an emo wannabe.

CN: How do your hometowns, and where you’re originally from, reflect in your mu-sic?

Anderson: I grew up in a town…have you ever watched Simba in “The Lion King” say, “Wherever the light touches, you can go. See that shadow place? You must not go there.” That’s Oshawa. That’s where I’m from. I loved it though. It’s about 45 minutes outside of Toronto. The reason it is run down is that it is a place where people can go to Toronto, but not pay as much. I lived in the South End, so a lot of songs, for me, and a lot of feelings come from that. Grace: I grew up in a tiny, nowhere town, in the middle of Missouri. There’s like, 2,000 people in the whole town. I was homeschooled my whole life and somewhat sheltered. But I am very thankful for my upbringing because I would’ve gotten into so much trouble if my parents didn’t keep me on a leash to a certain extent. I was very angst-y, growing up being stuck in a small town and not going to public

schools. I was feeling like I didn’t have many friends. So that reflects a lot in my own music that I write myself. As far as the music we write together, we kind of shed our experi-ences from our own hometowns. We kind of created a new life and that is what we write about now.

CN: What inspired you to start your blog and vlog (video blog)?

Anderson: Two years ago, we were playing this gig on the beach and this guy came over and said, “Come check out my RV!” He’s showing me around and I’m like, “Wow! You own this? You live in this?” I became ob-sessed. There is this vlogging couple called “Gone with the Wynns” and they’re about my age, they’re married and they just travel and do cool things and vlog about it. I love their vlogs and I became obsessed with that. When I bought my RV I wanted to do the same thing, but I thought it was a lot harder than it was, so I stayed away from it and just did blogs. We wrote blogs for a while and then I said, “Let’s just try it. Let’s just figure it out.” Our first blog was a week and a half or two weeks ago.

Grace: A big reason why we wanted to do it was because—while he was inspired by what others were doing—we were just starting to get into the college market. We knew that we were starting to do things that we would

want to share with people and write about in-stead of the same bar gigs every week. When we started performing at colleges, we made a point to start a blog or a vlog about each of the schools. I take all the pictures, so it makes sense that I do all of the blogs and he takes all of the video.

CN: What is your favorite song to perform together?

Anderson: When it comes to our original mu-sic, my favorite is “Carry Me.” I like “Carry Me” because that is the most popular of all the songs that we’ve done. That’s what people gravitate to the most.

Grace: My favorite is “Strangers Again.” It gives me the feels. I didn’t even realize that when I was writing my parts for it. I didn’t even realize that I was writing about people that I know that are going through similar situations. As far as covers go, my favorite is “Royals.”

Anderson: Mine would be The Beatles, “I Saw Her Standing There.”

CN: Can you tell me a little more about your newest song “Come Close?”

Grace: We’ve had a friend that we’ve known for about three years. She’s been there since the very beginning. She’s awesome and she’s worked for a lot of non-profit organizations. Her workplace made a video to raise aware-ness and it is really touching. She wanted us to write a song for it, so we did. I got a lot of my inspiration from the fact that I’ve known this family that the video is about since I was a little kid. My mom is best friends with their mom and their daughter, who is 13, was diag-nosed with Stage 3 cancer.

CN: If you could choose anywhere in the world to perform, where would it be? And who would be a surprise guest?

Anderson: I’ve been travelling, touring America in an RV, playing shows and expe-riencing all of the things I want to do. But, if I had to go further, I would love to perform at the iTunes festival, just alongside all of the other artists.

Grace: I would want to go anywhere in the world. I don’t know much about venues, but I want to perform in the Red Rocks Amphithe-atre in Colorado. It is literally in a canyon and I have heard so much about it and I would love to perform there. And I want to perform with John Mayer. Hands down.

Ryan Reynolds portrays Deadpool, the antihero subjected to a rogue experiment that gives him healing powers, in the next installment of the “X-Men” series.

AP

“Deadpool”: an unconventional twist on your average superhero film

The superhero: a paragon for all that is good in the world, who fights evil for the right reasons, and does so with extraordinary abilities.

Then, there’s “Deadpool.”The well-known “Merc with a Mouth”

got his own movie treatment this year after a highly criticized depiction in the 2009 film “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.”

Unlike the superhero’s last appearance on the big screen, “Deadpool” is a fantastic rendition of one of the most vulgar comic book characters of all time.

“Deadpool” opens up with the superhero setting up to ambush someone on his “naughty list.” This leads to a major car pile-up on the highway, catching the attention of the news and the X-Men.

During the fight scene, Deadpool, played by Ryan Reynolds, breaks the fourth wall and goes back to tell his life story.

The superhero begins his tale when he, Wade Wilson, Deadpool’s hidden identity, meets the girl of his dreams, Vanessa Carlysle, before getting his superpowers

Wilson successfully proposes to Carlysle, but soon after is immediately diagnosed with

terminal cancer. After hearing an offer from a secret

organization that could potentially save his life, Wilson accepts and leaves Vanessa in the middle of the night.

As a means of healing him, the heads of the secret organization, Ajax, played by Ed Skrein, and his assistant, Angel Dust, played by Gina Carano, inject Wilson with a serum and begin torturing him to agitate the serum’s powers.

Finally, when Ajax and Angel trigger the serum, Wilson is healed of his cancer. However, the serum’s effects make Wilson look gruesome, similar to Freddy Kruger from “The Nightmare on Elm Street. “

This breaks Wilson mentally and encourages him to take drastic measures, burning Ajax’s lab down.

Ajax escapes and leaves Wilson for dead, but Wilson’s new healing capabilities keeps him alive. Once Wilson escapes, he searches to hunt down Ajax and anyone associated with him.

The movie switches between the initial highway scene from the beginning of the film and “Deadpool’s” storytelling at least twice, but doesn’t add anything special to the transition of the film.

As a whole, “Deadpool” comes across as a hysterical commentary in response to the superhero genre. Reynolds plays the title character well and completely makes his previous performance as the same character in “X-Men Origins” forgiven by dedicated comic book fans.

The best part of the entire film is the writing. Deadpool treats the fourth wall like a punching bag during the entire film, going as far as to break it twice in one scene.

Since “Deadpool” is owned by Fox Entertainment, the same owners of the “X-Men” franchise, the film welcomes two “X-Men” characters, Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead, the famed “X-Men” Mansion and numerous references to Wolverine.

Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead are portrayed well by Stefan Kapičić and Brianna Hildebrand, respectively.

Colossus is the giant chrome, noble and mature character foil to Reynolds’ questionable and immature Deadpool while Negasonic Teenage Warhead is a sullen teenager with the capability to create atomic blasts.

It is possible that at some point in the future, Fox could be planning for Deadpool

and Wolverine to meet up in another superhero film.

It is highly unlikely that any R-rated film this year could fully earn its R-rating as well as “Deadpool.” The film holds a good amount inappropriate material, ranging from innumerable expletives to nudity and drug references. However, “Deadpool” didn’t fail to bring in audiences, despite its R-rating, and managed to bring an unconventional twist to the average and stereotypical superhero film.

Disneyland celebrates 60th anniversary with ABC specialEmily MastroianniThe Carroll News

California’s Disneyland Park celebrates its 60th anniversary diamond celebration this year. Since its opening on July 17, 1955, Disneyland has offered countless memories and adventures to its guests, and is considered one of the “happiest places on earth.”

The celebration, “The Wonderful World of Disney: Disneyland 60,” will be showcased on Sunday, Feb. 21 on the ABC Television Network.

The two-hour television event commemorates the passion, imagination and creativity of Walt Disney, whose legacy lives on not only through the Disneyland park, but Walt Disney parks around the world.

The celebration takes place at Hollywood’s Dolby Theater and makes its way throughout the Disneyland Park to locations such as Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, Main Street U.S.A. and Cars Land.

Along with inside-views of some of Disneyland’s most iconic landmarks, the ABC television special showcases both the “Paint the Night” parade and “World of Color-Celebrate! The Wonderful World of Walt Disney,” two eye-catching displays of color, technology and fascination.

Two-time Emmy Award winner, Derek Hough, serves as the celebration’s host while music superstar, Elton John, will give a special performance for the celebration. Staged in the heart of Disneyland Park, in front of the Sleeping Beauty Castle, John will perform the beloved and Oscar nominated Disney classic, “Circle of Life” from Walt Disney’s “The Lion King,” as well as one of his newer singles, “Wonderful Crazy Night” from his upcoming album.

Josh Gad, the movie star most famously known as the voice of Olaf in Walt Disney’s animated film “Frozen,” will also participate in the special event by leading viewers through exclusive tours of both Walt Disney’s private apartment and the Disneyland Dream Suite.

Walt Disney’s private apartment, which gave him the perfect view of the park during construction, is located above the Main Street Fire Station, and is closed to the public. However, Gad will offer a behind-the-scenes look at this exclusive, personal space.

Along with that, Gad will take viewers with him during his visit to the Disneyland Dream Suite, which was created to entertain Walt Disney’s family and friends. The suite is decorated with rich detail, paying homage to Disney’s diverse and cultured heritage.

Gad will also make a quick stop at Disney’s Tiki Juice Bar located in Adventureland, where tourists can get a taste of frozen drinks, pineapple treats and fruit bowls, some of Disneyland park’s favorite sweets.

Interestingly enough, Gad present a debut of his upcoming Disney performance as Le Fou in the live-action Disney feature film “Beauty and the Beast.”

Disneyland has also kicked off the Disneyland Diamond Sweepstakes as part of the 60th Diamond Celebration in a rewarding way. Each week, Disneyland has been giving guests the opportunity to win amazing prizes and vacation packages that you can learn more about by visiting Disneyland.com/DiamondDays.

This first week of February, a dazzling, studded crown inspired by Disney princess, “Sleeping Beauty,” was offered along with a prize package, which included three days and two nights at the Disneyland Resort Hotel. These winners also get the opportunity to meet Princess Aurora herself and bring up to three guests with them.

The 60th Diamond Celebration will continue on by incorporating Disneyland’s three new after-dark shows, “Paint the Night” parade, the “Disneyland Forever” fireworks show and the “World of Color-Celebrate! The Wonderful World of Walt Disney,” throughout the summer of 2016.

Sophomore Antonio Vuyancih played big off the bench for the Blue Streaks, pouring in 16 points in 17 minutes in JCU’s

86-81 loss to Marietta on Saturday, Feb. 13.

Joe GinleyStaff Reporter

One year ago, the John Carroll University men’s basketball team knocked off Marietta College, the previous top dog in the Ohio Athletic Conference, at home in a thrilling win.

On Saturday, Feb. 13, the op-posite outcome happened.

Playing in a hostile environment on the road, the No. 3 Blue Streaks succumbed to the No. 8 Pioneers in a physical battle, 86-81.

The Blue Streaks often fell be-hind, tying the game seven times, but could not complete the come-back effort in the final minute, to the delight of a capacity crowd at the Ban Johnson Arena in Marietta, Ohio.

JCU falls to 21-2, 14-2 in OAC play following its second con-

Blue Streaks lose second straight in away bout with Pioneerssecutive loss, the first to Baldwin Wallace University at home on Wednesday, Feb. 10.

A stingy JCU defense that held Marietta to just 8-of-34 (23.5 per-cent) from behind the arc, the Blue Streaks hung in the game until the waning moments. A 3-pointer by senior Danny Wallack with 2:21 narrowed the Marietta lead to just three, 79-76.

Following the make, Marietta called a timeout and adjusted its strategy. Instead of opting for an outside shot, the Pioneers looked inside and found freshman AJ Ed-wards. The junior used an opening to kiss a shot off the glass and extend the lead to five.

The teams traded missed shots before senior Simon Kucharewicz made a layup for JCU with 1:19 remaining to bring the game within one possession. Following a JCU

timeout, Edwards again used his size inside to score, drawing a foul on Kucharewicz in the process. Edwards completed the three-point play, making the score 84-78 with 54 seconds left.

Then, the Blue Streaks suddenly went cold.

The Blue and Gold missed six shots in the 45 seconds before sophomore Antonio Vuyancih fi-nally buried a trey from the corner. Trailing by three with nine seconds left, the Blue Streaks were forced to foul on the inbound. Unfortunately, Dillon Young buried both of his free throws, ending the game for JCU.

Wallack led all JCU scorers with 20 points. Vuyancih added 16 for the Blue Streaks, shooting 5-of-11

from the field and 4-of-4 from be-hind the arc. Kucharewicz notched a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds before fouling out late in the second half.

The Pioneers enjoyed advan-tages in rebounds, 51-50, and points in the paint, 36-24. Edwards led all scorers with 21 points. Luis Garcia added 19 points for the Pioneers.

Despite the loss, the Blue Streaks have also clinched the No. 2 seed in the OAC Tournament.

After scoring just nine points in the first quarter, the John Carroll University women’s basketball team battled back on Saturday, Feb. 13 to outscore Marietta University by 10 points over the final three quarters, going on to earn a 57-56 victory over the Pioneers.

Marietta dictated the scoring early, hitting back-to-back three-pointers to open up the offense in the first quarter. The visitors would go on to open up a six-point lead

before the Blue Streaks could an-swer. Junior guard Katlyn Spahar and sophomore forward Jasmine Rogers combined to cut the deficit to two points with just a little over half of the first quarter remaining.

Both teams would trade scores down the stretch to close out the opening frame, ending the quarter with Marietta ahead 11-9.

The JCU offense would answer in the opening minutes of the sec-ond quarter, tying the game at 14. Marietta regained the lead with a 7-0 run after capitalizing on four JCU turnovers in that span.

The seven-point lead by Marietta in the second quarter was the largest lead for the game for any team. It would take a push from the hosting Blue Streaks in the final minutes of the first half to reel the game back in, cutting the Marietta lead to just three points at halftime.

The offensive momentum from the Blue Streaks would carry over to the second half, led by an opening three-point play from Spahar. After being fouled in the opening 10-sec-onds of the third quarter, the junior hit a foul shot to tie the game at 26.

JCU and Marietta traded baskets over the rest of the quarter, with the Pioneers holding a one-point lead heading into the final frame.

On the Sunday night between the AFC and NFC Championship games and the Super Bowl, the two contests competing against each other on the television sets of most fans were the NHL All-Star games and the Pro Bowl.

I wrote my column the follow-ing Monday and which game had won my favor (the NHL All-Star game) and how the NHL made me a fan again, not just with their mini-tournament on Sunday, but with their All-Star Saturday night events.

I legitimately thought that the NHL may have jumped the NBA in terms of All-Star festivities. After what I just watched this past weekend though, there’s no way I can say that.

I’ll give props to the NHL. They made improvements, and there is no doubt that they have a better product now because of it.

The MLB All-Star festivities are great, too. The Home Run Derby is unlike anything else in sports, and the fact that the All-Star game means something, as stupid as it may be, actually forces the players to try, creating a better product.

But after an All-Star weekend like the NBA just had, it’s hard for me to say that’s there’s a better All-Star weekend out there.

First of all, the NBA has a three-day All-Star weekend, something no other sport has, at least in terms of televised events. On Friday, you have the Celebrity All-Star game and the Rising Stars game. Then, on Saturday, there’s the Skills Challenge, the Three-Point Contest and the Dunk Contest. Lastly, on Sunday, the actual All-Star game is played.

The Celebrity Game and Rising Stars game is fun, but nothing com-pares to All-Star Saturday night.

Similar to the NHL, the NBA made the changes necessary to make each event as fun and exciting as possible.

In recent years, the NBA has added head-to-head contests and big men to the Skills Challenge; a rack of only moneyballs to the Three-Point Contest; eliminated the Shooting Stars competition and messed around with the Dunk Contest, ultimately deciding upon the current format.

It all built up to a super fun Saturday night with Karl Anthony-Towns winning the Skills Chal-lenge; Klay Thompson beating out his own teammate on the Golden State Warriors, Steph Curry, in the Three-Point Contest; and of course, the Slam Dunk Contest, which left us with arguably the greatest dunk contest performances we’ve ever seen from Aaron Gordon and Zach Lavine.

If the NBA can somehow find a way to make the actual All-Star game competitive, it’s going to be hard for the NHL, MLB and NFL to ever match the excitement.

the fourth quarter to go up 40-39. Freshman Kelsey Poplawski would pour on more offensive power with a three-point field goal on the next possession to open up a four point lead.

The fourth quarter featured seven lead changes and two ties, but it was the Blue Streaks that were on the positive end when the final buzzer rang. Spahar and Battaglia combined for three-of-four from the charity stripe in the final 30 seconds to close out the game and secure the victory.

Justice Antonin Scalia dies, leaves “originalist” legacy

Bundy brothers standoff ends in Oregon

Ned LeslieThe Carroll News

Ryan BrownWorld News Editor

The Oregon standoff, which has dominated headlines since its inception on Saturday, Jan. 2, has officially come to an end with the last occupier, David Fry, surrendering to authorities, according to The New York Times. Fry, an Ohio native, like many of his fellow protesters traveled from across the country to participate in what many believe to be the conservative counterpart to the 2011 Occupy Wall Street movement.

The standoff was spearheaded by two brothers, Ammon and Ryan Bundy. The same family was involved in the 2014 Nevada standoff that revolved around Cliven Bundy’s, the father of the brothers, cattle illegally grazing on federal property. Like the Nevada standoff, the Oregon one was centered on the same grievance, government owning property in the west.

The clash was conceived when the Bundy brothers, with the force of a militia behind them, demanded the release of two extremists who set fire to government land in the early 2000s, according to BBC News. The situation escalated when the group occupied a federally controlled wildlife reserve.

The focal argument of Bundy and company is that what they are doing is completely justified by the letter of the law. However, many critics of the movement believe the group to be domestic terrorists who misconstrue the meaning behind the constitution.

Experts of law and politics, such as David Hayes, who worked under the Clinton and Obama administration elaborated on common discrepancies held by the anti-Bundy demographic

according to The New York Times said, “The claim is that the land belongs to private parties, and that public ownership is a foreign concept in our constitution…it finds no credible support in the U.S. Constitution.”

Others who are familiar with the nuances of the law expound on the fact that the government is very fair with doling out federal land at bargain price to ranchers for their cattle to graze. Even though some conservative leaders, like Utah Governor

Gary Herbert, agree with the sentiment, they denounce the tactics, according to The Associated Press.

Near the end of January, the movement lost momentum as many supporters, including the ringleader himself, Ammon Bundy, were taken into custody. Ever since then, the number of supporters has significantly dwindled. According to The New York Times, Ammon Bundy called for the rest of his followers to stand down and move on to the next warzone, which will be in the courtroom. Bundy explains that he will use his trial as a political platform and calls for his supporters to do the same.

With the striking amount of local and state authorities needed to suppress the armed standoff, the cost of defense could creep into the millions. The New York Times reported that the use of law enforcement in the local county, Harney County, alone could cost around $500,000. Although the cost is not finalized, local judge Steven E. Grasty finds that the taxpayers making up for the cost is precarious and is pushing for the occupiers themselves to foot at least some of the bill as punishment.

Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Antonin Scalia died Saturday, Feb. 13 of natural causes at a ranch in West Texas, according to The New York Times. Scalia was married and had nine children. He was a devout Catholic and in regard to his children said, “Being a devout Catholic means you have children when God gives them to you, and you raise them,” according to The New York Times.

Scalia graduated top of his class from Georgetown University, and graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School. Sara Schiavoni, who teaches in the John Carroll University political science department and specializes in judicial selection, says that with Scalia, “There was never a question about his intellectual firepower, about his credentials.”

Schiavoni says that Scalia changed the court with his style of oral argument. “Before Scalia joined the bench, the Court wasn’t quite as engaged during oral argument and he changed that. He was a fire brander in oral argument and kind of let loose the court so that now it seems to be the new normal.”

Scalia was known for his originalism and biting dissents. He used words like “argle-bargle” and “jiggery-pokery,” according to

NPR. Scalia and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

were “best buddies” according to Ginsburg. Although the two differed greatly on ideologies and often were on opposite sides in court rulings, they maintained a very close friendship. Ginsburg, often writing for the majority opinion when Scalia was writing the dissent, said that his writings made hers better, “Justice Scalia nailed all the weak spots- the ‘applesauce’ and ‘argle bargle’- and gave me just what I needed to strengthen the majority opinion,” she wrote, according to USA Today.

Scalia was thought to be one of the most conservative judges on the bench, however, Schiavoni disagrees. “He was conservative and very conservative on a lot of cases that get a lot of attention. With his dissents on the Obamacare decision and some of the immigration cases and Lawrence v. Texas, but there were a lot of cases that he did not tow that line, that conservative line.”

The cases pertain to ignore the Fourth Amendment and defendant’s rights. The example she gives are ones dealing with thermal imaging of houses that would reveal whether or not a house is growing marijuana or not. He believed that was unconstitutional.

Mere hours after the death of Justice Scalia, Republicans in Congress said

President Barack Obama should not nominate a replacement for Scalia until the next president is elected, according to The Hill. Obama did not take their advice and said in a press conference that he would nominate a new one “in due time.”

As for the upcoming court rulings that are being debated in the Supreme Court, they will continue on as normal unless the court

decides they want the case to be reargued with a full court. If the court decides to continue hearing the case and make a ruling and the results are a 4-4 tie, then the lower court ruling will be upheld.

Ohio bill may defund women’s clinics

AP

“This could change everything.” That was my first reaction to seeing the

news that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had died. Now after some thought, I realized that that is not a respectable reaction to someone dying. This is a man who had been in the Supreme Court for almost thirty years, and my first reaction was what is going to happen next. I am disappointed in myself that I did not take the time to reflect on the life and impact Scalia had on the country.

I’m sorry to say that I was not alone in thinking about the next step. Barely any time after the news of Scalia’s death had broke did Senate Republicans say that they would block any person that President Barack Obama would nominate to the bench. That should not have been their first response to this man’s death. Any person that has served on the Supreme Court deserves more than a simple, “I’m praying for his or her family. Now let’s make sure the opposition doesn’t benefit from this tragedy,” from a sitting legislator.

The D.C. elites moved so fast on to the next thing it’s like they seem to have forgotten about the legacy Scalia left. They seem to have forgotten how his bombastic presence on the bench during oral arguments and tone in his biting dissents to major court decisions, like Lawrence v. Texas and the Obamacare case, changed the court and the country forever.

They seem to have forgotten that Justice Scalia had nine children with his wife, Maureen, of 45 years. His death was not expected, so his family must be in serious pain from their loss. The last thing they would want to hear from Capitol Hill is more fighting.

They seem to have forgotten that Scalia brought a level of intelligence to the Court that could not be denied. His intellect and conviction to always defend the Constitution and bow to no master besides the supreme law of the land, had a lasting impression on the United States.

But you never would have known that if you talked to lawmakers in Washington. They’re too busy squabbling about whether or not the president should or should not nominate a new justice in an election year. Which, by the way, is not even a worthwhile argument. Reagan nominated Justice Anthony Kennedy in an election year in 1988 and so did many other presidents in the past. So not only is this a completely disrespectful argument to have during what should be a mourning period for people in government and all across the nation, but it’s just plain dumb.

I realize that nominating a Supreme Court justice has a great impact on the country and people in Washington want to pick the right replacement for Scalia. But can’t we all just take a minute, pause, and reflect on the life Scalia led and his impact on the country? Then we can go back to the normal argle-bargle of politics.

Tensions rise between South Korea, North Korea

Contact Ryan Brown atrbrown18@jcu.edu

A visitor looks at North Korea through a map of the Kaesong Industrial Park.

The Republican controlled Ohio Senate and House recently passed a bill on Wednesday, Feb. 10 to strip funding to Planned Parenthood and similar facilities. The bill now goes to Governor John Kasich and awaits his approval. Kasich is fresh off a successful outing in New Hampshire, where, according to CBS News, his more moderate stances appealed to the Independent New Hampshire voters and earned him a second place finish.

The bill cleared the Ohio House shortly after the New Hampshire Primary. CBS News reports that the bill comes at an opportune time for Kasich: had it come earlier, it could have hurt his standing with the moderate New Hampshire voters he appealed to, but the bills’ tough stance on Planned Parenthood is likely to appeal to the more conservative South Carolina voters in whose state Governor Kasich has begun to campaign.

The bill itself does not expressly target Planned Parenthood; however it is the company that will likely be the most affected. As NBC News reports, the legislation would deny Planned Parenthood roughly 1.3 million dollars in grant funding, as it would deny any funding to entities that promote, perform, or contract abortions, along with any further associated entities tied to the abortions. NBC News notes that Planned Parenthood is not even mentioned in the bill.

This bill has attracted national attention; along with other Ohio media outlets, The New York Times also wrote an editorial concerning the bill.

NBC News reports that Kasich is likely to

sign the bill into law, citing that in a brief exchange in New Hampshire, Kasich said that if he was president he would not grant Planned Parenthood or facilities that provide abortions any federal funding, even if it was part of a balanced budget. It was further noted that for Ohio to pass such a bill, might have implications for the attitudes of the rest of the country.

This action is controversial, drawing support and controversy from different camps. People supporting abortion providers have spoken out against the bill and Kasich’s likely support of it. Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio have purchased numerous ads and ad-space devoted to attacking Kasich, the bill, and speaking in favor of Planned Parenthood, the Columbus Dispatch reports.

Undaunted by the attacks, Governor John Kasich took to Facebook and said “Planned

Parenthood can’t and won’t intimidate me. I’m proudly pro-life.” A spokesperson for Kasich further supported this claim, noting that the Ohio Department of Health already stopped state money from going to Planned Parenthood in part of Kasich and legislature’s work to ensure public money is allocated to the best purpose, as reported by The Columbus Dispatch.

This is part of Kasich’s positive campaign, where he has stated that he will not stoop to, nor be deterred by negativity. He assured voters that he wouldn’t be a “pincushion or marshmallow” who people could push around, but he wasn’t going to be caught up in the negative personal attacks that have become somewhat commonplace in the Republican campaigns.

Tension escalated on the Korean peninsula after a satellite launch in early February conducted by North Korea. The South Korean government has ordered the shut down of the industrial complex run by both the North and South Korean governments, according to The New York Times. North Korea retaliated by expelling South Korean workers out of its borders.

CNN reported that at 9 a.m Korean Standard Time on Sunday, Feb. 7, North Korea launched its Kwangmyongsong-4 satellite, violating the UN Security Council’s resolutions. The U.S. referred to the launch as “destabilizing and provocative,” while Russia and China had unsuccessfully discouraged North Korea from launching the satellite prior to the launch. Although North Korea claimed that its satellite launch was purely scientific and peaceful, the U.S suspected that it was just a cover for North Korea’s intercontinental ballistic missile program, which was prohibited by UN resolutions.

According to BBC News, after the launch, the United States, South Korea and Japan called an emergency UN meeting during which more severe sanctions have been proposed by said countries toward North Korea. China and Russia, North Korea’s only allies, wanted a less strict approach. According to BBC News, China was concerned that harsher sanctions would push North Korea toward economic and political instability, which might result in the collapse of the regime, thus, putting more pressure on China’s borders.

After the launch, CNN reported that

South Korea commanded the closure of the Kaesong Industrial Complex as a retaliation move against North Korea’s provocative actions. North Korea and South Korea joined forces in 2004 to start and run the Kaesong Industrial Complex in an attempt to end a long-standing conflict. Tens of thousands of North Korean workers worked for up to 120 South Korean corporations in this complex.

The South Korean government reasoned that the closure of the complex would cut the funds North Korea needed for its nuclear weapon programs. South Korean officials at the industrial complex claimed that the North Korean workers only receive a small fraction of the local money while the North Korean government takes most wages paid in American dollars.

According to BBC News, the Kaesong Industrial Complex’s goal is to help the North Korean economy by providing a place where South Korean companies can use labor from people living in North Korea. It also encourages companies stay in the

two countries instead of sending them to a country with lower wages. However, North Korea appeared to abuse the joint effort by determinedly pursuing its advancement in developing nuclear weapons and rocket launches against the UN ban with the money from the industrial complex. Instead of achieving peace, the Kaesong project added to the “direct challenge to peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in the international community,” stated the South Korean government.

To retaliate for South Korea’s decision to shut down the complex, North Korean government expelled South Koreans out of the Kaesong industrial complex, froze South Korean corporations’ assets there and seized military control of the area, CNN reported. North Korea also accused South Korea of bringing war closer to the peninsula through the shut down of the industrial complex in the state media.

Burberry sues J.C. Penney for copying “famous” pattern

DOW down 1,451 points this year after a slow start

J.C.Penney is being sued by Burberry for up to two million dollars for using their trademark plaid pattern. The lawsuit was filed on Thursday, Feb. 9.

Business & Finance Editor

Luxury brands rely on their prestige and recognition of a name brand to give them a boost over the competition.

It is a message that takes decades to convey to the customer and can cost com-panies millions of dollars.

Founded in 1856, Burberry has been working hard to craft that image.

It’s recognizable and trademarked check pattern, which was created in 1920, has been a strong selling point for the outfitter.

The design of the pattern was in red, camel, black and white when it was first introduced as a trench coat in 1920, ac-cording to The New York Times.

At the beginning of this year, J.C. Pen-ney has sold products with a check pattern very similar to that of Burberry’s.

They have been using the check pattern on a wide variety of products, such as scarves coats and purses.

On Feb. 9, Burberry filed a lawsuit against J.C. Penney at the New York South-ern District Court.

Bloomberg reported that the lawsuit aims “[to] capitalize on the strength and worldwide fame of the Burberry Check Trademark, [J.C. Penney has] offered for sale and sold merchandise, including scarf coats and jackets, which display the Burb-bery Check Trademark or substantially indistinguishable reproductions thereof.”

In addition to its legal claims, Burberry, which calls its check pattern “famous” and “distinctive,” channels its image by claiming J.C. Penney’s clothing lines are “inferior” and “substandard” to its price tags, according to The Chicago Sun Times.

Defendants have offered for sale and sold their infringing products without Burberry’s permission, authorization or approval.

Burberry is suing J.C. Penney for up to two million dollars for each copyright in-fringement, according to Bloomberg.

J.C. Penney said in a statement, “The company believes the final resolution of the lawsuit will not have a materially adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources.”

London-based Burberry owns trademarks for the check design and is concerned that shoppers might think that Burberry is af-filiated with J.C. Penney, according to The New York Times.

This perception could cause irreparable harm to the nearly century-old business is recognized as one of the luxurious brands.

Bloomberg reported that the company’s overall health and stability should not be affected by this lawsuit. Many cheap retail-ers are gaining traction and selling products similar to luxury brands.

In addition, Bloomberg reported that it has become imperative for luxury brands, such as Burberry, to make sure knockoffs of their product are not being sold.

Burberry, in particular, has spent millions of pounds over the past decade rebuilding its image after its signature plaid design became popular with British soccer fans, according to The New York Times.

In addition, for extra protection, Burberry has arranged agreements with Web retailers such as Amazon and China’s Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. to remove any unauthorized goods from their websites that look identical or related to their merchandise.

In the last decade, business schools have been referred to as a two-year job interview, because for more than 100,000 dollars and two years of study, MBAs are allowing college students to gain access to vast alumni networks, top-tier internships and the best jobs. Potential employees that have obtained an MBA have also become popular among numerous companies, re-sulting in more students attending one or two additional years after their undergrad-uate program to earn a MBA.

With a sharper focus on what people most hope to get after business school, Bloomberg created the most effective rank-ing yet for helping career-oriented students choose an MBA program.

Bloomberg’s annual ranking of full-time MBA programs has now determined

what most recent grads desire: a satisfying, well-paying job. More graduate degrees in business are awarded each year than in any other field in the U.S., and new business schools are attributed by the dozen every year.

To identify the best of the 2015 year, Bloomberg collected data from more than 13,150 current students, 18,540 alumni and 1,460 recruiters across 177 distinct B-school programs. For the first time, Bloomberg sur-veyed MBAs after graduation for more in-sight into what graduates can expect in their future careers. Briefly, the MBA programs were ranked based on the following main five types of populations that were surveyed to acquire the most recent statistics:

Employer Survey (35 percent of total score): The recruiter feedback on the skills they look for in potential MBAs, and the specific programs during their undergraduate college education that equipped students

with required skills. Alumni Survey (30 percent): Feedback

from the classes of 2007, 2008, and 2009 on how their MBAs have affected their careers, their compensation change over time and their midcareer job satisfaction in the last five years.

Student Survey (15 percent): The class of 2015’s perspective on their academics, career services, campus climate, and other influential external factors. Job

Placement Rate (10 percent): Complies the most recent data on how many MBA stu-dents are seeking full-time jobs within three months of graduation.

Starting Salary (10 percent): The most recent data on how much MBAs make in their first jobs after graduation, adjusted for differ-ent industry and regional variation.

Here is the list of the top ten best full-time MBA programs in the United States in order according to Bloomberg: Harvard, Chica-go (Booth), Northwestern (Kellogg), MIT

(Sloan), Pennsylvania (Wharton), Colum-bia, Stanford, Duke (Fuqua), UC Berkeley (Haas) and Michigan (Ross).

Most MBAs have no trouble landing jobs; after three months beyond gradua-tion, 88 percent of MBAs have been hired and offered a nice pay. In addition, these graduates saw an 81 percent jump over their median compensation before business school.

After six to eight years, pay typically increased another 64 percent, to about $169,000 a year. Those salaries are award-ed to a specific group of professionals. Sixty percent of full-time MBA graduates had jobs in technology, consulting, and financial services.

Despite initiatives at many business schools to fuel entrepreneurship, a mere four percent of students started their own business when they graduated, and five percent went to work for a startup company.

The first month and a half of 2016 hasn’t been kind to people who invested money and time in the stock market.

The DOW is down 1,451 points this year, while the S&P 500 is off by roughly nine percent and remains near two-year lows, according to Bloomberg.

The NASDAQ has transformed into a bear market, a market in which prices are falling and encourages selling, while the global stock market is on its way to becoming one.

“Investors are losing patience with the ineffectiveness of central banks to create any meaningful growth,” said David Laf-ferty, chief market strategist at Natixis Global Asset Management reported to The New York Times.

On Friday, Feb. 12, the U.S. stocks fi-nally took a break from the massive losses and has started on the recovery road.

This past week, Bloomberg reported that the Dow closed 314 points higher, while the S&P 500 gained nearly two percent; it was the stock market’s second best day of so far in 2016.

Despite the drop in points for the Dow and S&P 500, Wall Street has benefited and experienced an incredible 12 percent increase due to oil prices.

Meanwhile, numerous banks have rebounded in the past two weeks, easing the market’s two biggest nuisances. The increases were driven by a sense that the recent selling may be overdone.

Currently the S&P 500 may be safe and not sink into a bear market; for that transition to occur, the fundamentals would have to deteriorate.

Even though the S&P 500 has not

become a bear market, it has tumbled 13 percent from all-time highs this year.

In order for S&P 500 to be qualified for bear status, it would have to be down 20 percent.

The terrible year for stocks has been underpinned by worries that a slowing global economy could sink the U.S. into recession.

While U.S. stocks are currently tank-ing, the American economy is not, even with the overall economic growth being slowed at the end of 2015. Predictions by Bloomberg have reported that they expect the U.S. stocks to rebound later this year.

Right now, oil prices are likely to con-tinue playing an outsized role in dictating what happens with stocks.

As an example, the S&P 500 plunged to two-year lows on February 11 as crude oil collapsed to 26 dollars-per-barrel. Stocks then followed oil higher on Fri-day Feb. 12 as crude oil jumped to 29.44 dollars-per-barrel, chalking up its best day since 2009, according to the Wash-ington Post.

Besides the oil prices, investors will also keep a close eye on bank stocks, which have been the worst performer of 2016, losing 14 percent of their value.

The New York Times reported that on Friday, Feb. 12, the banks bounced back, led by an eight percent surge for J.P. Mor-gan Chase (JMP) after CEO Jamie Dimon plunked down 26.6 million dollars of his own money to buy its stock.

The economy has been experiencing a tug-of-war struggle to keep stocks up and banks functioning during the midst of the oil prices fiasco.

When trying to determine how the overall health of the stock market, it is important to look at the right indicators. Certain stocks are very influential on the market, and others are not so important.

Many people fear a stock market crash, but don’t follow the market to have any way of determining if a crash is soon coming.

As someone once told me, to know one stock is to know all stocks better. Therefore, I would advise someone to begin watching the pattern of a single a stock if they have had no prior experi-ence with the stock market.

There are several stocks that can be used as indicators for the strength of the market.

In other words, when these stocks are doing well, the entire market is usually doing well also. Some of these include the prices of gold, oil, 10-year treasury notes and bonds.

As many know, the price of oil has been a topic of hot discussion for the last several months. In July of 2015, the price of one barrel of crude oil was above $100, now it is under $30. This is a significant drop in price for a stock to take, and has some economists very worried.

If a person looked solely at the price of oil to determine how the entire economy was doing, their viewpoint would be seriously jaded.

If you were to take a look at the price of an ounce of gold, you would see that the price of gold is rising. Therefore, people who are invested in gold stock are making money.

Over the course of the last year the price of gold had significantly dropped until the turn of the new year when gold prices spiked up higher than they ever were in 2015. Gold is currently priced around $1,200 per troy ounce.

Another stock that is indicative of the pat-terns of the market is 10-year Treasury Notes. These are a form of U.S. government bonds. The U.S. government sells these debt obliga-tions that reach its maturity in 10 years. These kinds of notes are often popular because they are associated with very low risk, and offer a predetermined return.

The sale of 10-year Treasury Notes has been on the rise within the last five years, and are currently the highest that they’ve been in the last year.

Bonds are another important portion of the stock market. A bond is a contract issued by a company stating that they have borrowed money from another source, and intend to pay that same amount back plus interest by a predetermined date.

In other words, a bond is an IOU.Any company can issue bonds, but when

watching over-all market trends, one would most likely pay attention to U.S. government bonds.

Generally speaking, most U.S. bonds are sell-ing higher than they were one year ago.

These four stocks can be interpreted in dif-ferent ways, but it can be certain that three out of four are doing better than they were a year ago.

While many people are scared that our economy is headed south in 2016, it is important not to panic too quickly. Many market indicators suggest that the economy can handle the new year’s rocky start, and I encourage you to see for yourself!

What are Facebook’s rules for posting nude images?

The question is at the forefront again after a French court ruled Friday that a French art teacher can sue the social media service after it suspended his Facebook account. Although Facebook hasn’t given a reason, the account suspension came after he posted an image of a classical painting featuring a female nude.

Facebook’s rules on nudity have evolved over time. The latest community-standards policy, from March 2015, says Facebook restricts photos of genitals or fully exposed buttocks, as well as some images of breasts if they include the nipple. But Facebook says it allows photos of women actively engaged in breastfeeding or showing breasts with post-mastectomy scarring.

“We restrict the display of nudity because some audiences within our global community may be sensitive to this type of content - par-ticularly because of their cultural background or age,” the policy states.

Here’s what that means in practice:Breastfeeding pictures were the subject of

controversy for years. Breastfeeding moms protested when images were pulled. In 2009, 11,000 people staged a virtual “nurse-in,” re-placing their profile photos with nursing ones. It’s not clear when Facebook’s policy changed internally, but about two years ago the policy wording changed to specifically allow photos of nursing mothers.

In 2013, more than 20,000 people signed an online petition, led by photographer David Jay and breast-cancer survivor Ann Marie Giannino-Otis, urging Facebook not to ban

mastectomy images. Facebook responded with an official policy that permits the vast majority of mastectomy photos. Giannino-Otis said Fri-day that while the policy change helped, many mastectomy photos are still flagged by other users and removed by Facebook. Facebook didn’t respond to requests for comment Friday.

In July 2014, North Carolina photographer Jill White’s Facebook account was suspended after she posted a photograph of her daughter and a friend on Coppertone’s Facebook page. Her 2-year-old daughter’s buttocks were partially visible, an homage to the famous Coppertone image of a dog tugging at a child’s swimsuit. White says her account was suspended twice, and she was warned it would be banned permanently if she didn’t take the photo down. She replaced it with the same image with an emoji covered the offending

part. But after friends got away with posting the original photo, she started doing it, too - so far without problems. White says she still doesn’t understand Facebook’s rules or how they are enforced.

Facebook’s policy allows “photographs of paintings, sculptures, and other art that depicts nude figures.” Yet many users have run into trouble after posting art containing nudity. Frederic Durand-Baissas, the teacher whose account was suspended, had posted Gustave Courbet’s 1866 nude painting “The Origin of the World.” Artist Jerry Saltz said in a column for New York magazine’s Vulture blog that he lost his account after posting graphic images from medieval art. And in January a Facebook account for the Christopher Stout gallery in New York was suspended after posting an im-age of an artist sitting topless on a toilet

The AIRR Act: what you need to know

On Saturday, Feb. 11, the House Trans-portation and Infrastructure committee “approved legislation that establishes an independent, not-for-profit corporation out-side of the federal government to modernize America’s air traffic control (ATC) system and provide air traffic services,” according to the Department of Transportation.

This bill, which was introduced on Feb. 3 and approved on Feb. 11, will now need to move towards Congressional approval in order to be successfully implemented. This act will privatize the air traffic control system and provide flyers with new amenities and changes.

This act states that due to the govern-ment control of air traffic control, under the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), air traffic systems and equipment have grown antiquated and overly procedural.

The Aviation Innovation Reform and Reauthorization Act (AIRR) hopes to reduce some of the red tape and regulation regarding air traffic control in order to reduce delays and accommodate the ever-growing air travel demand.

The AIRR Act notes that because of FAA regulation, technological progress has slowed in the field of air traffic control, leaving con-trollers using technology that is essentially left over from World War II.

In privatizing ATC, the House Transporta-tion and Infrastructure Committee hopes to streamline the process of air travel without compromising safety.

The AIRR Act would move the responsi-bility of ATC from the FAA to a privatized, non governmental, not for profit organization, according to Forbes. Due to this switch, the AIRR act is very business friendly, encour-aging support from both sides of the isle, as well as from lobbyists and the general public.

However, the public supports this bill for

more reasons than the possibility of less airport delays, produced by Bloomberg.

In the section of the legislation regarding improving air service for consumers, it is stated that airlines will be required to refund all bag-gage check fees if luggage is not returned within 24 hours of landing.

It also states that cellphone calls will be banned on airplanes, as they can be seen as an annoyance and disturbance to fellow pas-sengers.

In addition, this act also ensures that families traveling with children under a certain age will be notified when there is a possibility they will not be seated together.

It is also to state that all commercial airports of medium and large sizes are required to pro-vide clean, available rooms for the use of breast feeding mothers and their children.

This combats against reports that breast feeding mothers have been asked to feed their children in the airports public restrooms.

Lastly, the AIRR Act requires that all of these rights and any others consumer privileges to be provided to all airline passengers either physically or electronically.

While this act has bipartisan support and provides much needed reform, it is important to consider any possible health and safety changes that could accompany moving ATC from the public control of the FAA, to private hands.

Great care will be required to ensure that an agency outside of direct government control does not sacrifice safety for efficiency.

While this act currently appears very suc-cessful, it has only just left it’s house committee, and has a long way to go before becoming a law.

Some of the goals that the AIRR Act has, according to the Department of Transportation are to provide a safe, efficient, modern aviation system, to benefit passengers with fewer delays and greater reliability, to foster innovation, and to keep America competitive in this vital economic sector.

Overall, in the instance that the AIRR act is approved, all changes presented in the bill will not be instituted fully or be recognized until the year 2022 to allow all aircraft to have time to implement the new changes.

JCU Needs Informed Immersions

John Carroll University’s Immersion Program recently released appli-

cations for students to embark on worldwide journeys in the spring and

post-commencement. There is no question that this program is important

to the JCU community. Students and staff provide personal and hands-on

service to hundreds of people yearly due to the work of the administration

and the host communities. Recently, there has been some concern regard-

ing the Zika Virus, a mosquito-borne illness that causes symptoms such

as a fever, rash, joint pain, conjunctivitis and other milder annoyances.

The Carroll News urges university officials to educate students about the

virus and other potential harms that may be presented during the immer-

sion experience.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the

following areas in Central America have been infected with the Zika Virus:

Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama.

John Carroll takes students to four the of the listed countries. Although

this community of individuals are all around good people and will not be

permitted nor be allowed to engage in risky behavior, they are still owed

some assurance about the relevant risks and precautions that should be taken.

The Immersion Program has a series of meetings for all participants to

fully prepare for their trips both domestic and international. One of the

meetings specifically covers the logistics of the trip. By providing addi-

tional information regarding potential harms, the entire group will be more

prepared, and, hopefully, will feel more at ease understanding the whole

of where they will be traveling to.

Regardless of where immersion participants travel, there are going to

be risks. Multiple writers of the Carroll News have been on one or more

of these trips, and the general consensus is that experiences such as these

are extremely important in narrowing the barriers between different cul-

tures and people around the world. Providing additional information about

exactly where the students are going and what extra care and instruction

will be provided is pivotal in growing this program into something greater

than it already is.

In al l my years spent as a se l f -proc la imed pol i t ica l nerd, I have never understood people’s frustration and an-n o y a n c e w i t h p r e s i d e n t i a l campaigns. That is, of course, until now.

In the midst of choosing the woman or man who will run our country, we have re-duced a process that used to be among the noblest of pur-suits to a petty shouting match laced with brutal disrespect. To make matters worse, callow junior representatives attack our current president in epic irreverent proportions, worse than our nation has ever yet

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was found dead on Feb. 13, reportedly from natural causes, which has sent us into a bit of frenzied political turmoil.

Now, before I launch into what I have to say, I want to venture off a bit. While, as a Democrat, I tended to disagree with Sca-lia’s views, I still recognize his merit and his significant role as a Supreme Court justice. I’ve been noticing many people—most of whom have been liberals—rejoicing over his death, which is frankly despicable. He was a human being, with a family and friends who are mourning him. His death is no cause for celebration. And if you’re using the excuse of “I didn’t like him,” to justify it, you knew his opinions and views as he was required to express them for his career—you didn’t know the man himself. It’s no excuse.

Moving on. With Scalia’s passing, we are left

with eight justices, four of whom— Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer—make up the liberal portion, while the other four—John Roberts, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito—occupy the conservative portion. If a new justice is not appointed quickly to replace Scalia, it means that upcoming cases, such as the ones concerning immigration, abortion, birth control and other issues that are frequently fought along party lines, could reach 4-4 decisions, more or less nul-lifying the decisions themselves. In these instances, the rulings of lower courts would stand and progress would not be made in any direction, according to Pete Williams, NBC News’ chief legal analyst.

Article II section 2 of the Constitution enlists the president with the responsibility to nominate a justice, and gives the Senate the responsibility to confirm him or her. For some reason, congressional Republicans and Republican presidential candidates alike are calling into question President Obama’s right to do this.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McCo-nnell (R-Ky.) said, “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their

next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President.”

In case he’s forgotten, Americans did have a say, when they elected Obama to office twice.

Current GOP presidential candidates have sounded similar sentiments. On Sunday’s episode of “This Week,” Sena-tor Ted Cruz (R-Texas) remarked, “If the Democrats want to replace this nominee, they need to win this election.”

“The Senate’s duty is to advise and consent,” he continued. “You know what? The Senate is advising right now. We’re advising that a lame-duck president in an election year is not going to be able to tip the balance of the Supreme Court.” Cruz also promised that he’d filibuster anyone Obama nominates—no exceptions.

Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fl.) stated that he doesn’t trust Obama to nominate someone to the Supreme Court.

“There’s going to be a new president—I believe it’s going to be me—and we’re going to look for someone that most resembles Scalia to replace him.” Rubio stated on this week’s “Meet the Press.”

Jeb Bush acknowledged that Obama has the right to nominate someone, but that the Senate “has every right not to confirm that person.”

So, it seems we’ve reached a stalemate. There is a light at the end of the tun-

nel, hopefully. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) was also interviewed on “This Week,” and said that the “American people don’t like obstruction.” He also remarked, “I believe that many of the mainstream Re-publicans, when the president nominates a mainstream nominee, will not want to follow Mitch McConnell over the cliff.”

He continued, “When you go right off the bat and say, ‘I don’t care who he nominates, I’m going to oppose him,’ that’s not going to fly.”

I’’m inclined to agree with Schumer—it’s absolutely heinous that the GOP is stalemating just for the sake of doing so.

Regardless, President Obama has 11 months left in office. He has the responsi-bility and an obligation to nominate a new justice to replace Scalia. That’s just a fact. And it should stand that the Senate should only choose not to confirm this person on the basis of rationale—a virtue I believe is completely lost on many senatorial Republicans at this point.

seen. For those of you who don’t

live and breathe political sci-ence (don’t worry, most don’t), it hasn’t always been this ugly. Republican President Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neill , the s taunch democrat ic Speaker of the House at the time, were notorious frenemies. Although they were deeply divided on a majority of issues, they knew when to pause and get things done for the good of the coun-try. If you Google both of their names at once, all that pops up is the two of them laughing hysterically during the State of the Union.

I pursued political science because I knew that people were capable of this kind of honest public service. It was the way things should be.

With a current political cli-mate that seems so contrary to Ronnie and Tip amity, it is difficult to imagine two people being able to put aside ideologi-cal differences for the sake of

friendship and respect. Leave it to the nation’s highest court to prove us wrong.

If you know me, you know that I am absolutely obsessed with all things related to the Supreme Court. More specifi-cally, I have a bit of an intel-lectual crush on her majesty, Supreme Court Just ice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The tiny lean, mean legal machine has spent her 82 years on earth thus far championing women’s and civil rights, along with being a total bad you-know-what.

D e e m e d b y s o m e a s t h e liberal matriarch of the United States Supreme Court, it is dif-ficult for some to imagine that her absolute, self-proclaimed “best buddy” was Justice An-ton in Sca l ia , the mos t ou t -spoken conservat ive jus t ice who recently passed away last weekend.

The legal mastermind spent his time working on almost op-posite legal matters than RBG, which was what made the duo

so dynamic. Reflecting on the life of Justice Scalia, Ginsburg said, “We are different, we are one, different in our interpreta-tion of written texts, one in our reverence for the Constitution and the institution we serve. F rom our years toge ther a t the D.C. Circuit, we were best buddies.

“Just ice Scal ia’s dissents nailed all [my opinion’s] weak spots—and gave me just what I needed to strengthen the major-ity opinion. He was a jurist of captivating brilliance and wit, with a rare talent to make even the most sober judge laugh,” Ginsburg said.

Despite their differences, the i r f r iendship was among the truest of kinds. They were known to go to the opera togeth-er, run errands together, go on vacations to France and India with each other’s families and spend New Year’s Eve in the company of one another. Their relationship was both inspiring and comforting in a world that

seemed, and still seems, deeply divided.

In the wake of Scalia’s recent death, I can’t help but think of my idol, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the example of masterful politics she and Scalia were.

Following a week of debates and presidential fanfare that in-cluded overwhelming amounts of hateful actions, I thought that I had finally had enough. In the peak of the insanity, it was as if the late Justice Antonin Scalia left the earth to teach us a lesson.

Whi l e he and Ru th were s t i l l l iv ing happi ly here on earth, Scalia said, “If you can’t disagree ardent ly with your colleague about some issues of law and yet personally still be friends, get another job, for Pete’s sake.” Scalia’s words have never held so much mean-ing. In his absence, let’s follow his lead.

OURVIEW

Monday morning, I was discussing with my runner friend and teammate, Patrick, the weekend in the professional running world. Last weekend was the U.S. marathon Olympic trials, in which the top 3 runners from each male and female fields qualify to compete at the Olympic games this summer. There has been some controversy in the running world, more prevalently this past year, about a group of runners who have been accused of doping, giving them a clear advantage in competition.

These runners represent Nike and their popular coach Alberto Salazar. “Al Sal” leads the charge, specifically an athlete by the name of Galen Rupp, who won the men’s marathon this passed weekend, qualifying for the Olympic team in his first marathon he has ever run.

Many believe they are guilty, but

Don’t be a doofusthis has not been proven yet to the extent where their best athletes have been sus-pended or banned from the sport.

One veteran by the name of Kara Goucher, a great competitor and big name in the game, placed fourth this past weekend in a heartbreaking fashion, missing the cut for the U.S. Olympic squad. Her post-race interview was dif-ficult for her as she fought through tears and frustration. Toward the end of the interview, she expressed honest, blunt feelings of her perspective on the group that Al Sal coaches, one in which she once ran for as a Nike athlete.

I had, unfortunately, only seen the clip of her expressing these blunt feelings. It came across to me that she had been a poor sport. So, in response to this and dis-cussing with my friend Patrick, I decided to throw a tweet out to her because why not? So, like most of my mindless millen-nials, I tweeted. It read, “@karagoucher, not really a fan of you or your post-trials interview #ruppNATION #ruppman #alsal your son is cute though.”

The truth is that I don’t really follow professional running like some of my peers do. I literally don’t care. I was being facetious by taking a stance on this week-end’s headline that most people would seem unpredictable and stupid, which in fact would be funny to my close friends.

I have a weird sense of humor like that, and I’m not always proud of it. Who cares though, I only have 125 followers and I thought it would go unnoticed by most. Wrong.

Suddenly during HR 370, I had re-ceived a notification not only from Kara Goucher herself with a fair response, but also her army of her loyal supporters. Some of the messages I got were so mean that it was funny. That got old though. About every thirty seconds, I was facing criticism from running moms. I couldn’t even enjoy my chicken pot-pie dinner without my phone lighting up saying I was an idiot.

I was faced with a few options: 1) delete my Twitter 2) block everyone 3) is-sue a heartfelt apology via Twitter. I chose 3. It turned out quite well. She accepted my apology ending it with “#wegood.” I think we are friends now. We might even go for a run next time she is in Northeast Ohio. Phew.

Learn from my mistake: Exercise free speech however you want on Twit-ter, but be ready to be called an idiot hun-dreds of times. Going viral is overrated.Your fan base will never be as strong as Kara Goucher’s.

Deadline is no joke.I am an ed i to r ia l in te rn

for Cleveland Magazine in Playhouse Square,and in the last two weeks, I have spent hours calling and interview-ing people,checking facts and, sometimes, twiddling my thumbs in anticipation for the story that would hit my desk next.

This opportunity has been one of the most rewarding I have had in my college career thus far, but it came with a price.

My final push to come to John Carroll back in 2012 was that I was going to be running for the varsity track and field team. Little did I know I would have to make the decision to leave the team with one semester of college left.

I’ve given a few shout-outs in past columns for the JCU track team, because, in all honesty, that team is filled with some of the most beautiful, genuine people I have ever met, and they deserve to be recognized.

At first glance, plainly, this team is weird. But they work the word weird. They are weirdly working weirdos who love life and want nothing more than to be happy, successful and proud of themselves, their teammates and their coaches. And they are! That’s what’s so beautiful of this group of people – they just want to be themselves without any filters or fronts.

To some people, that’s weird. To me, it’s inspiring.

During the busy moments these past two weeks, I suppose I accidentally made an internal effort to reflect on my time as an athlete, specifically as a John Carroll athlete.

Randomly, I’d think to my-self, “They’re at Spire [Institute] by now,” or “I miss Frankie, and Swish, and Gabs, and Hydzik, and Noelle and DT…” and so on and so forth.

Two weekends ago, I was so sad I missed records being broken and personal best races as my teammates crossed the finish line one after another. So, over the weekend, I decided to head to Columbus and see those amazing people show the D3 world what they’ve got.

The athletes that competed at Otterbein in the All Ohio Cham-pionships last weekend had to qualify to compete, so they’re already the top of the food chain when it comes to D3 track and field in Ohio.

We sat, stood, jumped and ducked as participants ran cir-cles, well, ovals, around the in-door facility, and although there were exciting and competitive races, the best part was being immersed back into a place so close to home.

When I decided not to com-pete, the coaches explained to me that when I stop coming around, that’s what they’d be upset. They understood and completely backed up my deci-sion by saying it would be il-logical to not go after my dream. Kyle, Jake and Bobby (Kshhh. Over.) were extremely spportive in the opportunity I was given, and I will be forever grateful for that.

The most valuable and pro-found point the coaches said was that I am still a part of this team. That meant a lot to me. I’ve invested a lot of time with this program over the last three plus years, and knowing I am still welcomed is entirely warming.

Being out on the track at Otterbein cheering on athletes not only from JCU, but from a variety of other schools, made me feel at peace. It was actually quite nostalgic seeing recently vacant faces, but as I walked away I became completely reas-sured and, simply, happy.

Last weekend I was reminded that I will always be welcomed as an athlete, friend and family member of the JCU track and field team; the people we meet in life, no matter what venue or situation, are a part of our story, and it is up to us if we wish to pursue lasting relation-ships with them; and, finally, I made the best decision for me this semester.

Sometimes the skeptics of your own brain become your biggest enemy. I was so worried about losing friends, missing out and not being fulfilled by a leap of faith, yet the mere center of it all has showed me that some-times the leap is worth it.

The Gebhardt Collection:

In the United States, we hear all the time about the millions and millions who risk everything to try and become Americans. Immigration and border control have been hot-button political issues for years.

The topic of migrant control has introduced talks of walls, mass depor-tations and recently, outright banish-ments of certain groups. American citizenship is immensely valuable, and the debate surrounding who can and cannot obtain it is controversial and widely discussed.

There is another side of the con-versation, though, that I feel that most Americans are missing.

Data shows that in 2015, a record number of expatriate Americans (that is to say, Americans who are living overseas) renounced their citizenship.

Sounds strange, doesn’t it? After all, the United States is the quintessential immigrant’s utopia, the country assem-bled by immigrants, the pertinacious champion of capitalism, individualism and, in theory, equal opportunity to all. It is the world’s strongest nation, the world’s most developed nation, and for those reasons, over 700,000 become naturalized U.S. citizens every year.

American citizenship is coveted by most—why on earth would anybody

renounce it?It is because the United States is one

of only two nations (alongside the tiny East African country of Eritrea) that enforces a citizenship-based taxation. In other words, Americans that are living and working in, say, France, pay a tax to the French government and the Ameri-can government on what they earn.

This is actually nothing new. Accord-ing to the BBC, the United States has been practicing this citizenship-based taxation policy since the Civil War era. However, for the majority of that hundred and fifty year stretch, it only af-fected the well-off. Double taxation isn’t supposed to be enacted unless an expat American earns more than $106,000.

Sounds pretty reasonable then, right? I mean, Americans living and working abroad are in the clear up until their first $106,000—what is there to complain about? If you are making that much, you really shouldn’t have a problem giving some of it back to the USA.

And for years, that wasn’t a problem. Though it is unorthodox to tax people based on citizenship in the first place, taxing those that make six digits is hardly unfair. But a new problem has been thrown into the mix in recent years. Ever since the government passed a law called FATCA (the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) in 2012, it has become so difficult for some expat Americans to work overseas and maintain U.S. citizens that some, lamentably, have resolved to renounce their citizenship.

The FATCA law was enacted in 2012 in order to prevent wealthy busi-ness owners from evading taxation by stashing their earnings in offshore bank accounts—a viable concern. FATCA mandates that foreign banks now alert

the U.S. government of its American clientele, thus ensuring that no U.S. citizens can evade taxation through foreign banking.

Its complicated, but I think that FATCA is a well-intended law. So-ciety’s richest people should not be able to find loopholes in tax laws by concealing their wealth in overseas banks.

But we have seen some pretty serious adverse outcomes of this new policy. Because there is now an increased hassle that comes with financing Americans, foreign banks would rather avoid working with U.S. citizens living abroad altogether. This means that expat American entrepreneurs cannot find a feasible method of banking and drawing funding for their business endeavors, regardless of their income.

So, in essence, expat Americans who are law-abiding and middle-class have seen life get a whole lot tougher. In 2015, over 4,000 Ameri-cans gave up their passports—a decision that is no doubt incredibly painful.

The ultra-wealthy should not be able to hide from tax laws by stor-ing their money in foreign banks. But, at the same time, the United States not make it impossible for Americans to bank overseas. And above all, the government should not make living abroad so difficult that people are choosing to renounce their citizenship. Like I said earlier, hav-ing an American passport is a great luxury—a luxury that loyal expats should not have to abandon.
