Seniors Discuss End of Year Celebrations
Katie Hendler | Reporter
The Student Government
Association held an open di-
alogue event where seniors
living on campus were able
to participate in a discussion
with the Vice President of
Student Affairs Kevin Abel.
They discussed the stu-
dent backlash that has been
occurring as Public Safety
cracks down on parties held
at the Fairway Apartments.
The event was held at the
Barter Student Center on
February 3, and dealt with a
variety of topics in regards to
what both sides wanted the
end of the year to look like as
graduation celebrations and
traditions begin.
“The main goal was to try
to get on the same page with
Public Safety, Residence Life,
the Center of Student In-
volvement and the students
over how we want to see the
end of the year play out. The
types of things we want to
see, what we don’t want to
see and to address the frus-
trations that happened at the
end of last year”, said SGA
president, Dylan Mire.
FAFSA Priority Deadline Approaching
Amelia Hoffeld | Reporter
The March 1 priority
deadline for FAFSA (Free Ap-
plication for Federal Student
Aid) is quickly approaching.
The Assistant Director of
Financial Aid Britney Finley
gave more insight, tips on
scholarship opportunities,
and explanation behind the
complication of paperwork.
According to the Office
of Financial Aid, 98 percent
of SHC students receive
some form of financial aid.
With only a certain amount
of federal and state financial
aid available for students,
Spring Hill College’s finan-
cial aid is typically based on
submissions. This March 1
deadline gives priority to
students’ applications. In

experienced some of those
frustrations during the 2018

carried out by seniors and
involves setting fire to per-
sonally owned couches right
before seniors move out.
Public Safety has recently

addition to FAFSA federal
grants and loans, financial
aid varies from scholarships
to student employment.
Finley notes that a tip to
stay on top of your financ-
es is to always keep your-
self informed. Found under
the Finance tab on Badger-
Web, students have access
to looking for outside schol-
arship opportunities. Finley
said, “We keep an up-to-date
report on outside scholar-
ships that our students here
have received and we keep
that updated to let you know
the deadlines or qualifica-
tions for any of those schol-
arships.”
In addition, Finley ex-
plained that a common mis-
due to the many hazards and
safety concerns that come
with alcohol consumption
and fire.
“To me, the apartments
feel a lot like home,” Hyde
said. “Last year I did not feel
that homie environment,
especially when police are
knocking on your door, and
putting your best friends in
conception from students
of qualifying to be indepen-
dent is age. Excluding special
circumstances, Finley said,
“The only way the govern-
ment qualifies students as
independent is that if they
are 24 years of age, married,
dependent with a child, etc.
But typically, most of our
students are dependent and
they have to use their par-
ent’s income information.”
For those students who
may be wondering the dif-
ference between a loan or
federal grant from FAFSA,
federal grants do not have
to be repaid. A student must
demonstrate financial need
to receive a grant in most
circumstances. A student’s

a solution for that is one of
my top priorities, and to
make sure that everyone has

put into action by the Stu-
dent Government Associa-

“We talked about doing
things like to have food out-
side the apartments, having
public safety out there but
not in an overwhelming or
aggressive way and possibly
having some sort of enter-
tainment there so students
have something to do,” said
Mire. “I really wanted to get
other students’ perspectives
and see what they wanted
to see, so I could take that
perspective and marry it
with the perspective of the
school, and hopefully create
a really fun and great envi-
ronment for the end of the
year to celebrate our four
years on the hill.”
SGA plans to host more
open discussion events that
encourage dialogue between
students and staff, so to-
gether everyone can work
together to build a campus
that is both safe and fun for
everyone.

SGA Spring 2019 Initiatives Are in Full Gear
Jack Gravolet | Reporter
The Student Govern-
ment Association is under-
taking a number of initiatives
this spring to hopefully im-
prove everyone’s on-campus
experience. Dylan Mire, SGA
President discussed what
SGA is trying to accomplish
during these last few months
of the spring semester.
The first initiative that
they plan to accomplish, ac-
cording to Mire is “working
to get no parking signs on
the Avenue of the Oaks to
help lessen destruction of
The Avenue.” The shoulder
on the Avenue of the Oaks is
being torn up by those park-
ing on the side of it to enjoy
its natural beauty.
The second initiative
deals with something many
Spring Hill College students
enjoy doing in their free
time, hammocking. Mire

SHC Puts a New Twist on Badger Day
Katie Hendler | Reporter
At the beginning of the
academic year, Spring Hill
College received a $400,000
endowment for the purpose
of marketing and admissions.
Due to this, the admissions
staff has been given a new
flexibility to recruit out of
state students this year. One
decision made in light of this
change was to consolidate
the usual two accepted stu-
dent days into one day. This
Badger Day was hosted on
the Spring Hill College cam-
pus on Tuesday, February 12.
“We wanted to focus
our resources on having the
best one event possible as
opposed to two events. This
Badger Day is going to be a
really big event for us,” said

sions John Michael Rogers

are working with The Uni-

area. They are going to tour
South Alabama for the first
three hours of the day, and
then they are going to come
over to our campus.”
The day consisted of a
full campus tour, visiting
student raffles, a mock class
with SHC English professor
Dr. Stoyanoff and a student
panel of current students
from all different parts of

Visiting high school students
were then able to ask the
panel questions about any-
thing they are curious about
regarding student life at SHC.
“Spring Hill College has
brought me my best friends
and given me the best edu-
cation I could ask for. Being
selected by admissions to
speak on this panel about my
experiences is such a cool
opportunity” senior Claire
Hibbard said.
At the end of the day,
admissions put on an aca-
demic mini fair. Prospective
students were able to go up
to any department table that
interests them and speak to
faculty members represent-
ing each specific program.

One thing many students
find missing about Spring Hill
College is the lack of a year-
book to commemorate their
college experience. SGA is
planning to rectify this by
“working with Academic Af-
fairs and Development Office
to evaluate the possibility of
starting an integrated year-
book class to create year-
books like the ones that ex-
isted in Spring Hill’s past.”
Another initiative in
progress is being undertak-
en by senators who, as Mire
describes, are “heading up a
Badger Nation club to help
encourage and promote
school spirit and attendance
at athletic events through
tailgates, spirit give-a-ways,
and updates for which games
are being played each day.”
This should be a great addi-
tion to campus as with the
Badgers now on EPSN, inter-

are very excited about this
event, and we can’t wait to

est in on campus sports is at
an all-time high.
An additional proposed
initiative of note that will
likely go over very well with
students is for a “dead week”
before exams. Mire says this
proposal “would prevent rel-
atively ‘high-valued’ assign-
ments or exams from being
due the week before finals
start.” Although this may
sound too good to be true,
he adds, “This is common
practice at some other Jesuit
institutions.”
Along with all these items
in progress, additional ones
include: working with stu-
dents, Residence Life, Pub-
lic Safety and the Center for
Student Involvement to en-
sure a fun and safe celebra-
tion during the final days of
spring semester and ensur-

Climate Change Should Not Be a Debate
Morgan Eiland | Reporter
President Donald Trump has
voiced his views on climate
change since the beginning
of his 2016 presidential cam-
paign. Drawing out of the
Paris Agreement in 2017, it is
clear that climate change is
not high on the president’s
radar. According to the BBC
article, “Trump on Climate
Change Report: ‘I Don’t Be-

took his comment back
about how he believes that

Kumail Nanjiani and Tra-

Along with four oth-
er nominees, “Incredibles

per-hand in the best-ani-
mated movie category. Ac-
cording to the Yearly Box

climate change is a hoax, but
he is still doubtful that it is a
man-made issue.
President Trump’s re-
cent tweet about the harsh
winter weather the Midwest
has endured over the past
few weeks shows that while
he may have been joking, he
may not know the differ-
ence between weather and
climate: “In the beautiful
Midwest, windchill tempera-
tures are reaching minus 60
degrees, the coldest ever
recorded. In coming days,
expected to get even colder.
People can’t last outside even
for minutes. What the hell is
going on with Global Wam-
ing? Please come back fast,
we need you!”
The Time article, “Trump
Said ‘We Need’ Global Warm-
ing to Deal with Record Cold
Temperatures. Here’s Why
was phenomenal, profitable
and, according to Rotten To-
matoes, had an outstanding
93% rating, there are some
unsettling points to be made.
According to parent re-
views for “Incredibles 2,” the
movie was too scary, con-
tained horrible language and
had very questionable mes-
sages. According to Patty
Owens, a grandmother who
took her grandchildren to
see the movie asked a puz-
zling question: “Why did Pix-
ar have to include cursing in
the film?” Phrases such as “I’ll
be damned,” “hell” and “what
the” followed by the sound
of the letter “f” before it is
bleeped out, were sprinkled
throughout the movie. As
a big sister, the inclusion of
curse words in a children’s
film seems inappropriate and
inconsiderate. As a commu-
nications major, it makes me
wonder why it is necessary
to include vulgar language
in addition to the repetitive
use of alcohol in the movie.
That Doesn’t Make Sense,”
explains the difference be-
tween weather and climate:
“Weather refers to the atmo-
spheric conditions at a par-
ticular place and time. At this
very moment, the weather in
the Midwest is freezing cold,
with major snowstorms.
Climate refers to the long-
term atmospheric patterns
in a particular area. It may
hit -20°F in the Midwest
this week, but over the long
term, the average tempera-
ture is expected to rise, as is
the frequency of days with
extreme high temperatures.”
It is no secret that the Re-
publican Party receives fund-
ing for political campaigns
from fossil-fuel companies.
Is this a reason many Repub-
licans are not on board with
climate change? Maybe so,
but according to The Guard-
I think Pixar and other media
are making the assumption
that children are accustomed
to these mature ideas, which
definitely says something
about our culture. If they are
not making the assumption,
then Pixar could be imple-
menting these ideals to make
them an accepted part of re-
ality.
At first glance, some of
the core messages of “ In-
credibles 2” include the em-
powerment of women, do-
ing the right thing even if it
means getting out of your
comfort zone, breaking the
law and that being a parent
is difficult, but rewarding.
However, one underlying
message focuses on the pow-
er that resides with the me-
dia to transform the public’s
perceptions. The entire plot
begins when Winston Deaver
approaches Elastigirl, Mr. In-
credible and Frozone in or-
der to change the public’s
view of superheroes. Deaver

ian article, “Oil and Gas In-

Republicans are not the only
ones who have received
funds from fossil-fuel com-
panies: during the 2016 pres-
idential election, fossil-fuel
donors pumped about seven
percent of funds into Hillary
Clinton’s Super Pac.
The two-party political
system in the U.S. has always
been divided over certain
political issues, whether it
be gun control or abortion.
Climate change has been in
the divide, too. According to
the NBC News article pub-
lished in November of 2018,
“Polling: Consensus Emerges
in Climate Change Debate,”
however, more Americans
believe that climate change
is happening more than ever
before.70 percent of Ameri-
campaign by implementing a
camera into Elastigirl’s cos-
tume while simultaneously
streaming it. The campaign
proves to be successful, es-
pecially when the antagonist,
Screenslaver, emerges. The
message proves how influen-
tial the media truly are.
Another important hid-
den message illustrates the
way screens tend to brain-
wash people. For example,
the screens in the mov-
ie have swirling, hypnotic
graphics that hypnotize the
viewers into acting the way
Screenslaver wants them to.
I would argue that the media
we interact with on screens
seems more real than the re-
ality we live in at times. Ul-
timately, this puts the view-
ers in a “hypnotic” state that
highlights illusions present-
ed to us rather than the au-
thentic, blatant reality. Fur-
thermore, we live in a state
of perpetual interactivity
that makes it impossible to
separate the media we con-
cans believe climate change
is happening, and out of that
70 percent, 57 percent be-
lieve it is a man-made prob-
lem.
However, out of the 70
percent of Americans who
believe climate change is
happening naturally, there is
still a political divide shown
in the statistics. 71 percent
of Democrats believe cli-
mate change is happening, a
42-point increase since 1999.
Republicans remain stagnant
at only 15 percent.
We all know that the na-
tion is divided over certain
issues, but when it comes to
a situation that can harm the
entire earth, I believe that
there should be no divide.
sume from the actual lives
we lead.
The final indirect mes-
sage that was front and cen-
ter during the entire movie
was body image. The unre-
alistic “Kardashian” body is
reflected on Elastigirl’s body.
Not only is she flexible, but
she has this “perfect” body
that is desired by men, wom-
en and now, thanks to both
the media and “Incredibles
2,” young girls.
“Incredibles 2” was a fan-
tastic movie, but not near-
ly as family-oriented as one
would imagine. In the long
run, children are not the
ones voting for the Oscars,
so maybe Pixar’s negative
parent reviews will be worth
it for one of the most pres-
tigious movie awards in the
world. The 91st Academy
Awards show will air on ABC
at 7 p.m. on Feb. 24.

New Greek Organization Comes to Campus

Greek life at Spring Hill
College has consistently
been an important part of

can-American fraternity.

Pre-Law Society Joins SHC Campus
Makayla Paige | Reporter
Spring Hill College wel-
comed a new club on campus
that will assist students who
plan on attending law school
following graduation.
The Pre-Law Society was
created by SHC Juniors Sim-
one Smith and Junior Ben
Bolton. The club was formed
in order to help students
prepare for the Law School
Admission Test (LSAT), de-
cide if law school is the best
route for them and to build
one another up in their goal
of becoming lawyers. They
plan on discerning their vo-
cations and supporting each
other’s personal goals of go-
ing to law school. Accord-
ing to Smith, there were “no
distinguishing organizations
that brought the students
interested in going to law
school together on campus.”
Smith said, “We decided to
start the club so that stu-
dents who are planning to go
to law school can meet each
other and learn about the
necessary steps that need to
be taken before applying to
law school.”
The club’s monthly meet-
ings will incorporate guest
speakers such as lawyers,
judges and graduates who
have experienced the LSAT
involved in Greek Life, mem-
bers of these organizations
are present in almost every
aspect of campus life. Cur-
rently, there are 10 Greek
organizations at Spring Hill
College.
The faculty advisor for
this new fraternity is Assis-
tant Director of Admissions
and 2018 graduate of Spring
Hill College, Quendarius
Roberts. When asked his
thoughts about this new ar-
rival, he said: “I think that
having a Black Greek Let-
ter Collegiate Fraternity is
something great for Spring
Hill to establish on campus …
we pride ourselves on having
a welcoming, open, diverse
community. This will be a
perfect addition.”
Roberts told us about the
history saying, “Kappa Alpha
Psi is the second oldest Col-
and law school application
process first hand. Accord-
ing to the Princeton Review,
“Your LSAT score is the most
important element of your
application.” After taking the
LSAT, it is crucial to have
an idea of what comes next.
Smith explained that she
plans on having members
listen to practicing attorneys
speak about their experi-
ence as lawyers, give tips on
law school and explain their
experience after law school.
Smith said, “These meetings
will allow our members to
meet lawyers, discuss op-

Intramurals Look Forward to Improvements
Amelia Hoffeld | Reporter
After the cancellation of
the intramural sand volley-
ball season and the pickup
of flag football, Spring Hill
College’s intramural coor-
dinator, junior Chris Mira-
montes, looks forward to
reviving the spirit of the
leagues.
A few cancellations lat-
er led to disappointment
on the flag football season
of Fall 2018. Not everyone
likes change, including ac-
tive intramural member and
senior Jack Danaher, who is
known for his enthusiasm
for sand volleyball. Danaher
noted, “I felt rather defeated
when they took that away,
but it was out of our con-
trol.” Miramontes explained
this was due to the broken
lights on the sand volleyball
court. Eventually, they were
fixed after the flag football
season started, but due to
weather permitting, many
cancellations happened for
the flag football season.
Unlike flag football, soc-
cer does not bow down to
rain as easily. This semes-
ter, there are seven men’s
teams and three women’s
soccer teams. Each intra-
mural team usually plays
twice a week for about five
weeks total. If the packed
spring schedule permits,
Miramontes has hopes to
potentially start a weekend
tournament of other sports.
Although, Miramontes said
“our main obstacle with that
[planning weekend events]
is finding the right time
or weekend to take place.
Logistically speaking, it’s
tough to try to plan around
other organizations.”
No matter how much
time students get on the
field or court, they are
thoroughly enjoying it. Ju-
nior Julianne Yaeger said,
“as a former, year-round
high school athlete, I’ve al-
ways been used to being
comfortable on a team and
looking forward to practic-
es and games after a long
SPORTS 7
day of schoolwork. Once
I got to Spring Hill, I real-
ized I was missing the team
aspect in my life that I had
previously been so used to.”
Like many others, Da-
naher lives for the games
of SHC Intramurals, saying
“it’s competitive as it gets.
We are all athletes in some
way or another. When we
are competing against each
other at the highest level
possible, it really brings out
the best in us.”
Anyone, except for col-
legiate athletes of the par-
ticular sport, can openly
sign up to make a team.

ily. When asked if they both
planned to attend Spring Hill
College, Tony said, “Bailey
got accepted and then I got a
rugby scholarship, so it kind
of worked out. I had no idea
what I was going to do, and
we weren’t sure what would
happen for a while. But when
we both found out we were
going to Spring Hill, we were
so excited.”
Many friends and class-
mates around campus were
thrilled to hear about the
engagement and wanted to
know how surprised Bai-
ishing her last semester at
Spring Hill, as well as trying
to plan the wedding. Tony
shared, “Being engaged is
fun. We’re nervous because
we have no idea where we’re
going to move, but we will
figure it out.” The wedding
is set for February of 2020,
but Bailey and Tony have al-
ready begun to work out the
details.
Bailey and Tony have
grown closer over the past
three and a half years at
Spring Hill. They lived in
the same dorm, Toolen Hall,
freshman year and spent
most of their time together.
One of Bailey’s favorite mem-
ories at Spring Hill is Eno-ing

or taking walks around cam-
pus. Tony’s favorite Spring
spends late nights with me.”
